Safe apps to remove? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, does anyone have a list of apps that are safe to freeze or remove via titanium backup? (Mainly system apps/bloatware) On previous phones I've used there's usually zips that you can flash via recovery but I don't see much for the z1.
Thanks in advance

I don't suppose you know what PowerManagerService.WakeLocks is? I've looked around and seems to be something to do with all the partial WakeLocks, but no partial WakeLocks show up in BBS.
Also qpnp-charger-f5142e00 something to do with charging but yet again fail to find much information about it. Is a lot of differences compared to other phones I've previously used

I've followed that guide for awhile now, it worked great on my note 2. I tried on Sony Z1 and discovered I was getting WakeLocks so I reset and tried without and still got then. I'm in the middle of setting up amplify now. Thanks anyways

[MOD] [ROM & Google Play Services] [v7.3.29] SystemUpdateService Wakelock Fix

Since this issue seems to affecting a lot of people, I decided to post what I use to fix the issue. Basically what this mod does is remove the command that acquires the wakelock, so it never exist.
Note: If the app updates itself, the wakelock will be back(unless Google fixes it), so I will try to keep this up to date with the latest version until it's not needed anymore.
To install, flash the zip in recovery
Modded Google Play Services
xx0 versions are for all DPIs, so it covers xx2, xx4, xx6 & xx8 in 1 file
KitKat v7.3.29(030) - All DPI - armeabi-v7a - Older Android versions that don't have the system/priv-app folder, you can rename the priv-app folder in the zip to app
md5 - 8bfac34b48a5cd05773ac85c714927c2
Lollipop v7.3.29(430) - All DPI - armeabi-v7a
md5 - ddf795c287546d3545fab2a3140654ea
Lollipop v7.3.29(438) - 480 DPI - armeabi-v7a
md5 - 8627599d7dd12e5b850fc3b41f41f54a
Lollipop v7.3.29(440) - All DPI - arm64-v8a - Being worked on
md5 -
Modded Framework
This fixes the root cause of the issue, so the service will operate properly now. The modded Google Play Services versions are not needed with this
Be sure to enable the SystemUpdateService for Google Play Services & Google Services Framework if you use DisableService or similar app
YNG1TAS0YL
Instructions for Modifying Framework
Decompile framework-res.apk and modify values/array.xml
Before - If you don't see this code, then your ROM is not the cause of this wakelock
Code:
<string-array name="config_disabledComponents">
<item>com.google.android.gsf/com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateActivity</item>
<item>com.google.android.gsf/com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService</item>
<item>com.google.android.gsf/com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver</item>

<item>com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver</item>
</string-array>
After
Code:

This is very nice. Would it be possible to elaborate what this actually does?
Same as the "DisableService" solution to prevent 'SystemUpdateService' ??
I'm just curious
Instant results?
Hey man.
For starters thanks a lot for your help! I was wondering if the results are instant or does it take a while to check the difference? Because after I flashed the .zip and booted the phone I went to check the battery status and the Google Services were still taking 66% of the my battery life. Is that normal?
Thanks in advance!

that doesn't mean that it is still "taking" 66%. It is saying that the service has used that percentage of the total used amount so far. the change will be "instant" but the usage counts will still show that until they reset.
doesnt fix the NextAlarmTracker wakelock for me

Yes it has been removed. And it was kinda expected. If u look at the Z2 and Z3 kitkat stock roms, they also didn't have "Battery test".

Unfortunately, I don't see any way how this can be done. But there is one way, if your device is rooted, you can try to modify the values using other apps.

Thanks for reply. I do have rooted phone.

battery life sucks after oreo update+app ops premission for android system.

hello
my battery on my op3t (5.0v oreo) just draining like ****.
i rooted my phone and downloaded app-ops and greenify, and i saw that i can deny from the android system keep the phone awake.
should i deny it or i dont need to touch this?
also, what else can i do to save my battery life?
I don't have any issues regarding high battery drain. I admit the backup is not better than 4.5.1.
Some users did a dirty flash instead of clean flash and gone in trouble.
restricting android system drains battery for me too.
I was also getting poor back up on Oreo..
here is thing you need to do
Install Blu Spark kernel
It has done magic on my device.....
Getting very good bat life

Probably a noob question, but did you do anything with the kernel, like any special set up? or just flsah it and forget

Naptime and Akt profiles help a lot with the battery drain.

SuperSU is owned by CCT (A chinese company) after Chainfire sold it to them. They say they're legitimate, but well they're the Chinese. SuperSU is never to be trusted again, and always go with Magisk from today.

I'm using greenify and adaway...that's it..
If you want more battery back up install kernel Auditor and tweak there... Lower the speed of processor and change the scheduler....
---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------
AKT also helps...I used to use it in android 7.0 when I was getting horrible battery...
After every update of OS, go to
settings > app > application list > 3 dots > reset app preferences...

If that's a concern when you're using programs such as SuperSU I'd suggest buying a OnePlus wasn't the best of ideas!

Sure, it's a bad idea to buy a flagship killer device at half the price of any other flagship, just because the data collection hate is still going around. That would be like not buying a good car since it looks ugly.

Which ROM to use for run at idle?

Hi,
I need a ROM for working use (GPS and monitor to run a drone app), I'd like to have less stock apps as possible, because I don't need them and to have few battery drain as possible.
Currently I'm on stock MIUI 12.0.1 with unlocked bootloader and root permissions, and it's ok, but it has to many unnecessary stock apps, if I try to remove them with Titanium Backup it goes into bootloop, is it normal that happen?
I got another Xiaomi with Android One and its minimal ROM is wondeful, 9hrs screen on too, but the phone doesn't have the same hw spec, less GPS signal intensity, less brightness , less power ecc... Is there any way to flash this ROM on MI 9?
Thanks

I can recommend syberia os.
With a lot of apps and an old Mi9 256gb transparent edition I get a good battery consumption (see attached picture). I think if you install less apps the battery consumption will be less than mine.
