Apps that improves your Xperia Xperience - Sony Xperia ZR

Hi!
Just wanted to share some apps that I've installed in order to improve my new Xperia ZR.
First off, I've got a rooted Xperia with the latest firmware:
Build number: 10.4.1.B.0.101
I bought it in Malaysia but I'm from Scandinavia so I decided to install a nordic firmware in it.
Here's a few apps that I feel improves the current OS:
Close all recent apps. Link in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2615186

[UPDATED] Better RAM usage [LG Optimus 2x]

All of us know what is the worst thing in our phone. It is a low capacity of RAM. And of course, there is no RAM expander app which can enlarge your RAM from 512MB to 2GB.
Now I am going to show you how to free your RAM with no bad impact on your system stability.
All Users:
In Google Play Store there is an app which allows you to disable various services of system or third-party apps. Its name is My Android Tools. Developed by WangQi. In this app you can disable services which are running in the background and are occupying your RAM and even more.
Also I found out that this app may cause BOOTLOOPs and the only way to get rid of BOOTLOOPs is factory reset. But if you are an enthusiast of this app, you can try disabling all of the Google Play Services. :cyclops: You shall see. :cyclops:
Which services have I disabled?
Code:
[I]Note: Services marked as " *xyz* " are safe to disable. [/I]
com.android.smspush:
-*WapPushManager*
Google Play Services:
-*AdRequestBrokerService*
-*AdvertisingIdService*
-*AnalyticsService*
-*DeviceConnectionServiceProvider*
-*DispatchingService*
-FusedLocationService
-FusedProviderService
-*GcmService*
-*GeocodeService*
-GeofenceProviderService
-*GoogleHttpService*
-*GoogleLocationManagerService*
-*GoogleLocationService*
-*LocationWearableListenerService*
-NetworkLocationService
-*NlpLocationReceiverService*
-*ProxyGTalkService*
-*SyncService*
-*SystemUpdateService*
-*WearableService*
Google Play Store:
-*ContentSyncService*
-*DailyHygiene*
-*InAppBillingService*
-*MarkedBillingService*
Google Services Framework:
-*EventLogService*
-*CheckinService*
-SystemUpdateService
Messaging:
-*TransactionService*
-Network Location:
-*NetworkLocationService*
SIM Tool Kit:
-*StkAppService*
All of the *Voice+* services.
Which receivers have I disabled?
Code:
Google Play Services:
-AccountsChangedReceiver
-CheckinService$ActiveReceiver
-ConnectivityReceiver
-GServicesChangedReceiver
-PowerConnectedReceiver
-SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver
-SystemUpdateService$Receiver
Disabling the Google Play services may cause huge battery draining. Be careful with it. I am not responsible for any potential damage to your device.
Anyway, there is always an option to enable services which were already disabled. I have not written all of the services which can be disabled! With this app I have freed almost 35MB of RAM.
And if you want to know which services or processes are persistently causing wakelocks, the best app I have found is Wakelock Detector-Save Battery. It is developed by UzumApps and you can Download it from the Google Play Store. With this app you can see particular name of service which is consistently waking your device and preventing it from deep sleep. And if you know the name of that nasty service you can disable it by My Android Tools app. Isn´t that simple?
Conclusion
There is no need for RAMHack versions of kernel because you will have enough free RAM to switch between two or three running apps. As a daily-driver I can see big imrovements in Graphic. Because that 32MB of RAM did not come from heaven. You can record 720p videos or play "heavy" games without any annoying lags. That is my point of view.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me!

Personal recommendations
I have been testing custom ROMs for a quite long time. In my opinion, the best stable and reliable custom ROM for our old device is CM10 Look Ma! No Hands! by pengus77. I know that it is old JellyBean Android 4.1 but we have to admit that our device was not made for Android 4.4 Kitkat. When I came to this ROM I was pretty shocked of its amazing performance and fluency. I have not seen any bugs or huge lags like in the latest CM11 ROMS yet. I understood why they call pengus77 master. So I would recommend you this ROM.
You can download this ROM from this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49850599&postcount=3775
Also see this post which is really helpful - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54626701&postcount=3790
Do not install heavy apps such as Facebook or Google Chrome. They are not developed primarily to our device since 2013. Disable or unninstall all system apps which are useless. For example default Email, Google Search, Google TTS, Pico TTS, Sound Recorder, Talk/Hangouts, TalkBack, Voice dialler, default launchers and many many more. Instead of default launcher use Nova launcher. Minimize number of widgets on your desktop because they have got running services in the background.
Small advice :
Do not use taskers or "Clean Masters"! Android’s operating system has its own native handler for assigning RAM to apps and making sure that all of it is being used in the most optimal way. In fact, Android purposely tries to keep apps loaded into RAM for better performance.
+CM11 and SlimKat users:
Did you know that in CM11 and latest SlimKat 9.0 there is a feature called Privacy Guard?
With this feature you can simply and easily take control of your apps. You can decide which permissions have to be denied for individual apps.
Go to > Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard – you will see your apps listed – tap the shield to enable/disable an app* (In SlimKat ROM, Go to > Settings > Security > Privacy Guard)
Check the > Settings menu for the option to reveal native apps
Usage stats – long press an app > options page will show detailed breakdown of each apps permissions. You can control these individually. More important for me is the app option that allows you to see the last time that permission was requested
Most if not all apps permissions will automatically be set to “Allowed”. You can control for example whether an app has access to your location data – if so you can set to “Denied”. For example, in Google Play Services I have denied Location,Wake up and Keep awake.
Once you’ve done the above, you can go back to the main list of apps and tap > Advanced button in > Settings. You will now see a category view which is useful to look through groups of apps with similar problems
Be aware of Auto-Start permission requests in “Bootup”. These are apps that will use your battery and monitor Wake up – useful to keep an eye on!
We should acknowledge that our device is too old and it has got no future. But when God will send to us stable Kitkat ROM and Kernel it will be amazing. :angel:

Hello,
I had latest CM11 by tonyp, I think that it was cm-11-20150218-m1-p990. But then I got bootloop (caused by Disable Service app ). After that I decided to flash latest SlimKat 9.0 for p990. IMHO, the best Kitkat based ROM available yet. And then I tried to remove system apps with built-in app. Reboot. Stucked on LG logo. F*cked again.
Then I repaired my phone with AIO toolkit and finally I have just flashed CM10 Look Ma! on my device.
Haha The epic story XD
Its time to change that old device LIKE 2 Years ago GT540. I think i buy a Xperia Z1 compact
Tell me how you do the 200 mb ram free , I disabled everything and have only 170-160 free ;(

Hello,
I disabled all of the services which are already written in main post. Also I do not install many apps on my device so it does look fresh and cleanly. Installed apps are cached in RAM and this might be just one of the reasons why you cannot reach such high values of free RAM as I have recently had.
EDIT 1: I think that if you have got 160MB free of RAM, it is everything alright. Do not experiment too much!
Big performance and memory boost (+30-40MB) makes just freezing the Google Play Services (you can do it even with Performance Control only).
On the other hand you will lose various features and various apps (or its features) will stop working - but you will be notified about it with dialog "Application requires Google Play Services, activate it." or something similar. By disabling only some services I think you will not get notified about that and you might be in false impression that everything works okay. Some features that depends on Play services are: Google cloud messaging (push notifications), saving app data in cloud, some synchronizations, google login in apps,...
Also I freeze these apps (just for inspiration - they are safe to disable for me as I don't use them): Cell Broadcasts, Voice Dialer, Themes Chooser and Themes Provider, Print Spooler, Exchange Services, DSP Manager, Voice+, WhisperPush

Apps/bloatware removal, wich ones are safe to delete?

Hello!
I got my z3+ today and so far I'm really happy with it. I installed the GNL (Google Now Launcher) straight away because I just love it, used it on my old Xperia ZR. I want my phone to be as smooth, fast and clean as possible. I uninstalled all apps that could be uninstalled through the app-drawer, and now I'm wondering what apps I can inactivate from the settings->apps menu? Does anyone know what apps are safe to remove? I'm guessing I can inactivate the original mail app and SMS app as I'm using Gmail and Google Messenger instead of those.
Can I inactivate Albums app and use googles app for that aswell? When I did that on my ZR suddenly I couldnt show photos that I took through the camera app (you know the small thumbnail of the photo you just took in the lower right corner), I don't want that to happen again and I don't want any problems of that kind.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my grammar, English is not my main language.
you can disable, as i think rooting Z3+ is not yet available Follow apps:
Most Battery Drainers are Google extra stuff:
Google play games
Google new stand
Google music
Google Plus(+)
And other back ground which might not affect your daily usage.
Also i prefer using Browser for social networking sites instead of apps, because apps keep on searching updates from your friends and it causes your phone to be dead soon
After disabling google extra service my phone had a better life...

That's a good idea! I disabled a bunch of apps now and I think I didn't mess anything up so far.
I really really want to disable the album app and use only Google Photos but I got the same issue as this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/changing-default-album-app-t2921987
I'm guessing there's no fix for that? And now I'm stuck with 2 album apps. Thanks Sony!

Accessibility Services Keep Turning Off [ROOTED]

Hi All,
I just recently rooted my Note5 with ForeverLoco's ROM using ODIN and with Anter47's Kernel. I noticed that after a while, the accessibility services (Settings > Accessibility > Services) which control Tasker and Greenify (among others) all turn themselves off after I manually turn them all back on. I have Clean Master as well as Greenify that kills/hibernates apps but none of the apps in the accessibility page are included on either list. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

On the S6 edge, I have a similar problem: the settings remain, but they simply stop working after some time. I have to either restart the phone, or switch them off and back on to get them working again.

hi
I also had similar problem when i had my Note4.I was also rooted etc etc .My workaround was to... ..when i flashed my new updated stock Rom i would quickly enable it ,but as you stated it would/might turn off later , I flashed numerous Lollipop Roms and it was present in all except my last Note 4 Rom.. ...COH4. i found issue to be fixed in this Rom.
The problem ( i supect ) , is that most users don't use this service a lot ,so it goes mostly unnoticed .Very fustrating "bug"
So far i have no issues with my Note5 .
Could be that root interferes with setting or just a Samsung "bug " ????
good luck

My S6 edge is not rooted, so it might be a bug on some Samsung roms
I am having the same issue on my find 7. It is very frustrating as I just set up a lot of automation tasks that rely in autovoice being accessibility enabled. Grrr
So from another post around here I found the solution for me and it's very (stupid) easy..
Under settings -> program management, I had to lock certain apps.
I had almost flashed another rom.
Same problem here with Tasker, Nova Launcher and True Phone accessibility services turning off. My phone has Lollipop and is rooted.
Which apps ?

Download Servicely from GP and keep everything turned on!
Im on Phronesis v6.5 rom 5.1 1 on my note 3.
I got the same issue, after reboot all my accessability permissions for my apps are turned off. Apps that need the accessability are Twilight, switch swiftly and a bunch of others including greenify.
Has anybody found a solution to this issue?
PS somehow Nova Launcher seems to keep its accessability ON through reboots!
Samsung and Huawei
Saw the subject is saying [ROOTED] but posting anyway even if this also applies also to non-rooted devices running the stock versions of Android:
On Samsung Galaxy devices (SG 5 and later), check to see if you have App Battery Optimizer in Samsung Smart Manager app enabled. Please disable this as it is known to disable app Accessibility Services: go to Android Settings > General > Battery > look under App Optimization and select Details. Then find the apps in question and turn them off.
For Huawei phones, go to Settings > Apps > Advanced Options > Ignore Optimations and toggle "allow" for your apps that needs to be allowed accessibility permissions.
It happens to me as well. When I use titanium backup to clear apps cache it will shut off all accessibility apps and you will have to turn them back on. I noticed it happens when I use cool master as well.
Hi, it happens to me with Greenify on a Xiaomi redmi note 3 (marshmallow), the only thing that worked for me was: Settings>apps setting>permissions> autostart, and allowing Greenify. It works, even when i went back to optimization feature and leave Greenify to be optimized as it was.
Hi, I am also nor rooted but thought I would chime in as I am also experiencing this annoying issue with my Huawei Mediapad X2 running EMUI 4.0 Marshmallow Stock. Unfortunately, setting Greenify to ignore battery optimizations does not help. Once apps are killed, their Accessibility setting is turned off automatically - very frustrating. Anyone have any other solutions?
The solution given by elpipo22 works for me in a rather different environment, a xiaomi MI 4 with miui. The autostart option here was in Security app -> permissions -> autostart -> choose the apps which should retain accessibility settings.
Hii,
In my case, oppo f1s, i found out one solution
First of all your device should be rooted, the best
way to do that is through resetting firmware to factory or updating to newer oppo system image, then installing custom recovery BIOS or whatever it's name is,
then rooting under Recovery mode using Magisc...
All this is described in some xda-developers forum topic.
But that is not our issue for now,
To prevent accessibility permission to be revoked
from our service or app, we have to go developper,
by browsing SETTINGS >> DEVICE INFO , then clicking about 8 times or more on BUIL NUMBER... now that we
have become DEVELOPPER for good, we go back and then
we navigate towards SETTINGS >> ADVANCED SETTINGS >> DEVELOPPER SETTINGS... then enable DEVELOPPER OPTIONS, open section RUNNING SERVICES, browse for application named SECURITY CENTER, inside whitch we can see 4 running services, then STOP service named
CONTROL_VERIFY_SERVICE (of course on your own risk)
, that is it, now just go to SETTINGS >> ADVACED SETTINGS >> ACCESSIBILITY and enable accessibility for your application and enjoy it.....

Drain impossible to fix

Hello,
After many weeks trying to solve Google Play Services, I still have this boring issue.
I'm using Slimm Rom 3.8 with Locked Bootloader
- GPS, Wifi and NFC always off
- Stamina always on
- Brightness under 25%
I don't use much the phone (No facebook, less than 30min on internet, no Youtube, no Music)
I tried :
- to disable SystemUpdateService from Google Play Services and Google Framework with the App "Disable Servces"
- Uninstall updates of Google Play Services and reinstall in both way (Play Store / with APK)
- Using Amplify, AppOpsXposed, Greenify, PowerNap (from this link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884) and Force Doze
- Disable all Xposed modules (for now I'm using Android N-ify, BootManager, Greenify, Hide Emergency Button & Marshmallow SD Fix)
- Factory reset / flash KitKat .ftf file / Root again / Flash Slimm Rom
I also tried with other Rom like eXistenZ Marshmallow v5.6.5 and AOXP 1.5.7 ROM but I till have the issue.
I took some screenshots so maybe it can help you find what is causing drain.
Thank you in advance for your help
i use slimm and sometimes the battery percentage is going for example from 65% to 59% ,etc, and not only; i had xperience rom from marillia, cm12, existenz, and some - resulty is same. Next time my friend, dont buy SONY!!! ) that i said to myself. Anyway, what i saw from ur picture, google play services drain a lot of battery; also ur signal is very poor.
Try to set ur network to gsm only (not lte./edge) for normal use, and see that guide...maybe will help u. Also that
I've been fighting with Google Play Service for months because of the battery drain problem. In the end (tired of changing rom ecc..) I founded the solution on the last Xperia Concept Rom without root. Now the drain is totally gone, and I get 2 days battery life with ~5/6h screen time (using greenify only for aggressive doze, and having FB, Messenger, WA, telegram, gmail ecc..). Before, on others rom I couldn't get more than 4h screen time lately, so I'm super happy

Thank you for all your information but sadly I already tried all of that without success =/
I think that my next phone will not be Sony, even if I like them the camera isn't as good as they annonce.

I was thinking about installing stock rom without root but I really don't like all the pre-installed apps. It is a big dilema in my head ^^

I know the feeling! But consider that on concept you don't have any, and the few Google apps I don't use are disabled. The only real thing I missed was double tap lock screen off, but I managed with Power Toggle :good:

I have posted several times in this thread ways to fix the Google battery drain. It's now such a long thread that some people may have missed my previous posts, so to summarise : (this is not guaranteed to fix your phone, I am just trying to help)
Method 1
Factory reset, restart to recovery, flash full Slim rom(nothing else) . Restart. Log in to Google from scratch, leave the phone for some time before installing any mods. Let Google phone home and set the phone up before installing Xposed, amplify, firewall etc etc.
Restore apps with Titanium Backup, but just apps+data, NO system apps, NO Google apps. I realise a full factory reset is beyond most users compression, but this is really the best way and will fix 90% of the problems I see posted on the thread.
Method 2
The lazy 'I don't believe I need to do a factory reset' method
Disable all Xposed modules, go into airplane mode, no wifi.
Reboot phone.
Delete your Google account.
Use Titanium Backup to delete the data on the following apps:
Google account manager
Google backup transport
Google play services
Google play store
Gmail
Google calendar sync
Google contacts sync
Google bookmarks sync
Google services framework
Download manager
(it will get more & more difficult to do this as once you remove the Google account, Google. gms, keeps FCing)
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache & dalvik, reboot phone.
Enable network.
Add Google account, leave it with 'synchronise accounts' for some time, let Google do its thing before enabling Xposed or any other system mods(important)
Enabling a firewall or excessive privacy control (like trying to mask your IMEI or account) will just piss GPS off and it will try even harder to phone home, causing huge battery drain. The more you try and block the various Google services the more they try get out.
I don't believe that the battery drain is connected to this rom specifically. I know the Dev has made some tweaks to try and help, but if you take the time to read the Google forums, this problem effects most makes of phone and all firmware versions.
Edit: You should always do a recovery backup before making any changes to your phone, I am not responsible blah blah blah

Mirrorlink Note 8 N950F , full mirroring, root Android 7.1.1

Hi guys,
I've been trying to get full mirroring on my peugeot with mirrorlink without any success.
1 . WITH STOCK PHONE (no root) :
Mirrorlink is working with my car when I plug it, but due to restrictions you can't use what you want. I can only use authorized apps like deezer but loose the equalizer.
In order to use WAZE or MAPS, I followed many topics.
I tried with Button Savior method and LG mirrordrive, it doesn't work. For me this is purely a software restriction beacause Messenger pop-up come to my screen and I can fully respond on my car's screen !
I found a topic saying you can modify database of Mirrorlink app (with Android tools for example), to add authorized apps, I had exactly the same folder as in the topic but couldn't modify (no root)
2. WITH ROOT on stock firmware from sammobile
Android tools now fully works, but I don't get the same files in the Mirrorlink Database... strange
I tried tu plug-in to my car : it says on my phone "connected to your car with mirrorlink" but nothing on my car's screen, then after few moment I've got a message on my car like "authentification of the app is not valid"
So when I'm rooted, I can't use Mirrorlink anymore. (with SuperSu)
I tried flashing again with Magisk and hide root, no way.
I feel this is only little software security something but pretty annoying
I'd like this topic to be a reference for ANDROID 7.1.1 or Note 8 devices facing the same issue, because there no hint on the internet about this particular problem. It doesn't seem to be a problem on rooted android 6.0 devices...
I've found topic about screen mirroring fix (add line in build.prop), found about snapchat fix etc but no fix for Mirrorlink.
I tried to uninstall but forbiden even in root, and to install previous version, as well no way...
HELP !!
Fed up, I flashed my Note 8 with stock rom again.
After long long long try, I managed to get full mirroring with the classic method : Rock Scout screen, use Button savior tu initiate any app, and keep trying to clic on LG mirrordrive to get (or not) to full mirroring.
This is very instable, flickering, lagging... Useless but fun !
I saw a method with root to fix flickering but I'm not ready to root again if no one as a better solution.

This is very instable, flickering, lagging... Useless but fun !
I saw a method with root to fix flickering but I'm not ready to root again if no one as a better solution.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same problem here.
I figure out that I can't use different firmware from another country. I'm in Brazil, then I need Brazilian firmware in my phone. If I use another firmware my car don't recognize the apps Certification - doesnt matter if phone is root or not.
I'd like root my phone again but after December security update I think noone get root A5 again... .... I wanna change the mirrolink database and put there: android auto, google maps, waze.
You can use Samsung Car Mode - not very good, but fun. Problem: all whatsapp messages are read for you when you r driving, even when you dont want.
Hello
Did you find a solution to make work mirrorlink with root ?
Nope. I gave up.
Hello, i bought an app on google play that can launch any app on mirror link.
It's named "full mirror for mirrorlink" developped by SB-SOFTWARE.
Before pushasing the app, i looked for it on all apk plateforms but it's not available.
That works fine with youtube (maybe 0,5 sec sound delay).
On vlc, mx player, and other video players, i coudn't press play button.
Edit : no root needed
I finally can launch any app on mirror link in my car just doing what is describe in this video:
