Now your turn:
Remove twisted Home app
Restore stock AlarmClock
Underclock and overclock
IZS tweaker
Fast mounting of SD card on booting
Headset profile (bcoz without profile, when connecting headset, if the sound is full, the earphones may damage)
Some best sound engine like Sony
Additional fonts (Love)
Circular battery percentage like in Zeus
Battery full and low notification with optional sound (default indications not hearable, very low volume)
Resolve deep sleep issue, Deep sleep is not working sometimes. At night charged to 100% at 11 p.m., next day morning 7 o'clock the battery percentage 96%, I checked and make sure no background apps.
Flash make work on IZS
Built-in file manager, ES file explorer (a lot improved in latest version), built-in TeslaLED,
Built-in Jelly Bean 4.2 Keyboard with Swype
Mainly in-built Call Recorder facility, it's not possible because free versions don't work as we expected and paid apps are not allowed to merge in ROM as per rules and terms, I think.
If it's possible to add Call Recorder, I have one name of app that is fully working incoming and outgoing calls. i.e. Call Recorder (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder&hl=en)
Overclock cpu to dual core.
As i posted as soon as i saw Huexxx is back : SWAP. I said it to be implemented but it doesn't have to. All one need is a compatible kernel. If you have one you can even use third party apps. I already have one but i can't use it due to incompatibe kernel. Here is a free app from the same dev for checking if your kernel is compatible (it doesn't work with IZS v0, i've already checked, you can try if you are using other ROMs) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yb2Voc29mdC5tZW1pbmZvIl0.
PS: If you want this topic to be useful i suggest keep these things to features that aims for performence, stability, or new useful things. Stay out of personalisation, themeing, apps that can easily be installed later as much as possible. "4100 points in antutu", "compass app" , "Task manager and laucher from V30i", i am sorry but these are neither useful nor really necessary. We all want Zeus Tweaker to return so other than that if i have to give an example for new "things"; i think that would be "Halo" from PA. It's open source. There are other things before it comes to that but it will be more useful than a lockscreen request.
I agree

I agree! I prefer a ROM as clean as possible and, could be useful an AROMA innstaller to do some personalizations from the first install... but thast not important, like themes, some apps, crossbedder, Awesome blue beats, actions for the G button...
But al thoose things IMO are weird to be included into the ROM... much better it to be as clean as possible, i prefer to rebuilt the ROM befor iflash it with my prefered apps and mods.
I believe that is much more useful that Huexxx works on the kernel to improve performance, maybe some gobernors/schedules, frecuencies, OV and UV... like in ZEUS ROM.
Also the built in Tweak to improve SD card read speed.
The bug in the data managment menu, where apps doesent appear.
And as far as i can think now thats all the ROM need.
lawl, can i post this on 9gag?

Maybe in your view.
I am saying this after testing only.
Hi. Where can i download Zeus v7.06 ROM? Sorry for posting here but i can't find it anywhere!
Amazing Apps for the Xperia Z
A list of must-try applications
Hi guys, I've been trying out a lot of apps lately and I was surprised by the number of apps that go unnoticed when you're browsing the Play Store.
These may not be the most recent apps, but they're just apps that I think everyone should experience at least once.
None of these apps are specifically made for the Z, but they work well with it.
Anyway, I've put together a list of apps and a short description for them. Screenshots used are of my own phone.
I hope you like the suggestions, do give these apps a try.
Apps in this list may require -ROOT-.
This list contains -PAID- applications. (Please try the free versions of such app before purchasing)
Some apps run on the -XPOSED- framework.
All links to apps are to Play Store or XDA Thread.
App Settings:
|-ROOT-|-XPOSED-|
Download from XDAThread
Ever change the phone's dpi and find out that some apps just don't look right? (Hint: Phone dialer on Xperia Z)
Well, now that's no longer a problem because you can keep different dpi for different apps. The App Settings Xposed module lets you set per app dpi & font size.
Camera FV-5:
|-PAID-|
Download from Play Store
When it comes to taking pictures, some people just want a camera that adjusts it's settings automatically. But if you're one of those peoples who likes DSLRs where you can adjust various parameters to get the "perfect shot", this is the app for you!
Camera FV-5 can also produce photos in PNG format, thus preserving high quality of pictures. Multiple focus modes, Shutter speed adjustment, Exposure adjustment, and the list goes on. Hands down the best professional camera app ever!
Delayed Lock:
|-ROOT-|-PAID-|
Download from Play Store
The main drawback of having a lockscreen pattern is that you have to enter it each time you want to unlock the device, even if it is only a few seconds after screen off. If you set a lock delay in settings, say 2 minutes after screen off, your phone will unlock right away. No slide lockscreen. The solution for this is to use Delayed Lock. Aside from the mentioned feature, it also has other useful plugins for WiFi based unlock, location based unlock, etc.
DroidCam:
Download from Play Store
Webcams suck because most of them have really bad picture quality. Wouldn't it be awesome if your phone's camera could work as a webcam?
Well, here's your solution. DroidCam can connect to your phone in multiple ways and stream video from your phone's camera to your PC.
You need to install software on your PC too. It is compatible with Windows and Linux.
GMDGesture Control:
|-ROOT-|-PAID-|
Download from Play Store
Having a 5 inch screen, I thought it would be awesome to be able to perform multitouch gestures to navigate between activities and control various device features.
GMD gesture Control proved to be exactly what I was looking for.
With a great levels of customization and an extensive feature set, this app is probably the best gesture control app you'll ever come across.
(Tip: In advanced settings, set Override touch events parser to: ICS_DEFAULT)
Greenify:
|-ROOT-|-XPOSED-|
Download from Play Store
The worst part of having a ton of apps is that they drain battery even when you aren't using them.
Well, with Greenify, you pretty much ensure that applications that you don't need running in the background will be hibernated when you aren't using them!
It's very simple to use & very low on resources.
History Eraser:
Download from Play Store
If you're like me, then you hate having any sort of history on your device. History Eraser erases history from apps like the browser, play store, call logs, etc. at the touch of a button.
It also has a handy 1x1 widget for this.
Icon Themer:
|-ROOT-|-XPOSED-|
Download from XDA Thread
This Xposed module can change system icons. The beauty of it is that it can be used for all launchers.
Everytime a resource is requested, it responds with the corresponding resource that the theme redirects to.
Lockscreen Policy:
Download from Play Store
One feature I hate in 4.2.x is that the camera is accessible over the lockscreen. I have also noticed a number of people who do not like the idea of having widgets on the lockscreen. Lockscreen Policy allows you to disable lockscreen widgets and/or camera.
MoDaCo Toolkit:
|-ROOT-|-XPOSED-|
Download from XDA Thread
This handy set of tweaks runs on the Xposed framework.
Good for ROM customization.
SD Maid:
|-ROOT-|
Download from Play Store
SD Maid can clear up unnecessary data from your phone. No more do you need to worry about apps leaving behind traces of data after uninstall.
It also has useful features like Corpsefinder, which finds traces of uninstalled apps and Duplicates, which finds duplicate copies of files which can help you save space.
Sidebar Pro:
|-PAID-|
Download from Play Store
An amazing app that puts a sidebar on the phone which can hold app shortcuts and/or a list of open apps.
It is an overlay on the screen and doesn't interfere with functioning of other applications.
A must have for multitaskers!
SoftkeyZ:
|-ROOT-|-PAID-|
Download from Play Store
Easily change your Navbar's softkeys with this app.
Occasionally causes problems, but if you're an experienced user, you will have no problems fixing it.
Startup Manager:
|-ROOT-|
Download from Play Store
A great app to manage startup of applications. Many apps launch on boot that considerably slow down the phone. Not only that, but they also end up draining battery if they are not killed.
Startup manager lets you decide what apps will launch on boot. It can also control startup of system applications.
Trickster Mod:
|-ROOT-|
Download from Play Store
Trickster MOD is a nice, easy-to-use tweaker. It may not have a ton of options, but it does have the most useful ones and the ones that really matter.
It also has these "tools" that help you change your device's hostname, trigger the media scanner and connect through ADB over WiFi.
Wakelock Detector:
Download from Play Store
I was huge fan of Better Battery Stats, but of late, I've been having problems with it. I was searching for a good replacement, which is when I came across this app.
A humble app that shows you a list of wakelocks. Does the job well and does not consume additional resources.
XBackground:
|-ROOT-|-XPOSED-|
Download from XDA Thread
An Xposed module that can change the background for the Xposed Installer app as well as the background of the notification bar.
Needs a reboot to take effect.
Xposed Installer:
|-ROOT-|
Download from XDA Thread
The Xposed Installer installs the Xopsed framework and helps to manage Xposed modules.
This framework is compatible accross most ROMs. An absolute must for people who love customizing their phones.
Xposed Tweakbox:
|-ROOT-|-XPOSED-|
Download from XDA Thread
Another Xposed module for small tweaks and customizations.
The CRT animation is particularly interesting.
XThemeEngine:
|-ROOT-|-XPOSED-|
Download from XDA Thread
Ever wanted to use CM themes on a non-CM ROM? More specifically, have you ever wanted T-Mobile Theme Engine themes on a ROM that doesn't have the T-Mobile Theme Engine built in?
Well, this is the answer. XThemeEngine does exactly that. The drawback though is that it's limited in it's scope and not everything works perfectly (The project is still in beta). Also, themes need to be ported and cannot be directly used as is.
Zooper Widget:
Download from Play Store
Don't you love an app that lets you create your own widgets? Zooper Widget allows you to create highly customizable widgets.
It's quite light on resources too.
I hope this post was informative.
Took me quite a while to put this together, and it's not really what I usually do, but I thought I'd put in the effort anyway.

I don't own a PS3 (PCGamer ), so I have never used the app. I will however add it to the list later.
I wonder if it will work with my Xbox 360 Wired Controller for Windows. Some games do support the Xbox controller without having to modify anything.
I'll test it out tomorrow when I get back home.

Nope, I'm on an odexed stock ROM. Some tweaks may not work, some might. All of them need a reboot to take effect & also ensure that you enabled the module in Xposed.

This is most likely not related to Xposed framework.
Try and do a full charge to 100% and see if it's just a random problem.
I was going to make a ROM for y’all but my kitchens a mess and the cookers not working
I would have called it something like XTassy :laugh:
THIS IS NOT A GUIDE
Its a record of the changes that I have made to a perfectly good ROM.... So that it better suits my needs.
Everything here has the potential to break your phone and make it smell like fish.
If this happens you should PM me immediately so I can laugh at you
I'm always interested to know if there's a better way of doing something
and perhaps you might find something here that's useful to you

The Core
My stock rom was non-updateable, overheated, and I was able to kill a full battery in less than 3 hours.
I did an antutu stability test and it was all over the shop.
After trying out loads of stock and custom roms the one that had the highest benchmark
and was the most stable for me (according to antutu) was TiMiN8R's XperimenT
What I like about TiMiN8R's Rom? XperimenT 3.1.1
. Phone no longer overheats
. Battery Life has improved
. Its pre rooted
. Installs ClockWorkMod
. Has smaller on screen buttons (the black bar at the bottom)
. Comes with a file manager (why no stock roms have this?)
. He’s changed the menu background and it works for me
. Has a better battery icon with percentage
. Has a reboot option when powering down (ohhh that’s bliss)
. Has the older google maps with a blue arrow launcher for navigation (I really missed that! but can be updated according to preference)
. Has some fancy customizable toggles on the notification bar
Antutu Benchmark v4.0.1 score was 16892 Without an SD Card
That’s a massive portion of the hard work done. Cant thank him (and all persons involved) enough for making my phone usable. :good:
Before flashing the ROM I backed up my apps to my internal storage with Android Assistant
Pebble Dash Removal
My goal here is to rip out everything I can. My old phones Rom (x10 mini pro)
was 100mb in size, with all my apps installed and it did everything I wanted it to.
The way I see it... everything past 100mb must be battery draining, spyware, adverts and pebble dash.
Apologies to the the people that put time and effort into the apps I just called pebble dash
TiMiN8R has already removed a fair amount of bloatware from this rom. But as hes made it available for the majority im sure he didn’t want to remove apps that people might want.
Note! I will be removing the default keyboard and home screen (as far as I can tell it doesn’t have landscape mode)
If you decide to do this YOU MUST FIRST INSTALL REPLACEMENTS. I use the keyboard from gingerbread
& Launcher Pro as my home-screen. (Go Launcher seems popular but iv never tried it)
Ill also be removing all themes and lots of things you might miss... like the walkman, nfc, bluetooth, backup software.
Be aware that removing an application will affect others that depend on it... for example removing “live wallpaper picker”
will make ALL live wallpapers unuseable and you wont be able to use any live wallpapers that you get from the play store in future.
To do this I used root uninstaller
The safest way to do this is to enter ClockWorkMod by pressing the volume down but 2 or 3 times when you first turn your phone on and make a back up (of your entire setup) remove a few applications at a time... check everything still works. And repeat the process. If something goes wrong.... do a restore and start over. Its not advised to try and uninstall them all in one go
Current total of installed APK's 223 afterwards 126
<----- data use before and after
Here’s the list of apks that I was able to remove from this rom without errors or crashes (after a reboot)
in the order they appear in root uninstaller

I couldn’t find a list like this for the Xperia T
It took me a hell of a long time to test the removals and reboot over and over as well as typing it up.
So please don’t copy and paste it elsewhere. The next two lines are for googlers
Xperia T bloatware removal lt30p
Xperia T safe to remove list lt30p (safe if you understand what your doing)
Step 2
After removing all those apks I use a file browser to navigate to
/ > system > framework
and remove any .jar files that relate to the apks that I just uninstalled
like Bluetooth, NFC, Facebook, Music, Music Visualizer ect.ect.
Then I go to my settings and change the ringtone to PYXIS
This is the only pre installed ringtone I want to keep
Its no good dropping beats in a room full of suits so I use this tone when im at work to keep things professional
Then I go to / > system > media > audio > ringtones and delete all but pyixs
and paste my own .ogg ringtones (ill attach some of the ringtones I made to post 8)
I do the same for alarms and notifications
first set the ones that I use then delete the rest and paste my own
/ > system > media > audio >alarms
/ > system > media > audio >notifications
I don't like to use ringtones from sd card/storage locations because if I were to accidentally delete them maybe my alarm wont go off in the morning Not a risk I wanna take lol
why I removed the lockscreen and all themes / theme manager?
I removed every single theme & theme manager
so now instead of my phone looking like this
it looks like this!
iv made a dreadful mistake :crying:
I also removed the lock screen 1.0 app which reverted the lock screen to basic jb
lets add a wallpaper
and change it to pin
Much better! (settings > security > screen lock > pin)
Dont panic the music widget still works
I also like to add: If Found Please Call - 07MYMUMMY505
To the lock screen Found in settings > security > owner info
(you have to enter the pin when connecting the phone to a usb cable)
One thing I miss from cyanogen mod was "skip on security" meaning you don't have to press ok when you enter the correct pin. id also like to remove the grey and maybe make it more transparent (Dam locked bootloader) that's something ill have to come back to tho (think it would involve decompileing the system UI)
Silent Camera Hack
Be aware this may be illegal where you live and Don't go using it for "up skirts"
I don't like my camera to make a noise, with some snaps its best to be discreet..... after all this is the James bond phone
This phone was surprisingly easy to mute my other Xperias were a pain in the backside
/ > system > media > audio > camera > sound0
there's a file there called no_sound.m4a (how convenient)
I copied this and pasted it 3 times into this location / > system > media > audio > camera > sound1
Then Deleted: shutter.m4a , start_rec.m4a & stop_rec.m4a
and renamed the 3 no_sound.m4a files to shutter.m4a , start_rec.m4a & stop_rec.m4a
the same can be done with the files in / > system > media > audio > camera > common
(or see attached files)
Advert Removal
I cant stand adverts especially the ones that take up half the screen.
for the last 3-4 years iv been using an app called AdFree by Bigtincan
Its awesome just set it up and forget about it. no More annoying flashing google ads taking up half the screen
Unfortunately it keeps getting banned from the google play store (cant think why )
Here is their homepage http://www.bigtincan.com/en/
Here is their download page http://www.bigtincan.com/adfree/ (that no longer works)
And attached to this post is a little bit of love in the form of an apk
Select > Boot Normally > Skip Registration > Download & Install Hosts
If you use launcher pro you can hide the app from the app drawer
If you use the FireFox web browser there's an add-on called Adblock plus (also a version for the desktop firefox) that removes all adverts from all webpages including youtube videos (you know the ones that make you watch adverts about tampons for 15 seconds)

Security
Have you ever read some of the permissions that apps request when you install them?
Why the hell random apps want to read my text messages and contacts I don't know
Iv tried changing permissions and it just caused problems.... so heres what I do
I install this app Android Firewall
and I white list the apps that I want to be able to access the internet

I don't use any kind of anti virus software for these reasons:
Android is based on Linux
I have an arsenal of hacking software they complain about every 5 minuets
They send reports of whats on your phone for "analysis"
Apps I Use And recommend
Seen as this thread was titled Making The Most Of A Locked Bootloader ill start with a big one
Cpu Manager and Saver Pro
It limits the cpu when when your not using the phone (when the screen is off) and restores it when you are using it (when the screen is on)
Iv only found out about it recently but it seems to be working as it should. We have 1.5gz CPU so we don't need to overclock.
But underclocking! Anything we can do to save the battery is a god send :victory:
Launcher Pro (cannot resize widgets with free version)
I keep banging on about it... this is the home screen I use.
I cant really show you it coz.... you cant see it... its more how it works and what it dose
Landscape Mode
Massively customizable
Can easily hide / show apps from the app drawer
App-drawer scrolls parallel (in one slide rather than separate panels)
Has Counters for Missed Calls,Emails,Texts
182,430+ 5 Star ratings
Well worth checking out.
Digitally Imported - Internet Radio
www.di.fm is the homepage for my laptop (they recently updated it looks mint)
Been listening to di.fm for a good 8 years, my fav channel is progressive and there's many more
Need to make an account to use the app but its free
Jota Text Editor
Simple .txt editor, love the dark background
Gingerbread keyboard
From Android 2.3
after installing go to > settings > language and input > and set as default
I Like to disable word suggestions, dictionary, and auto correct
I cant get on with any other keyboard.... very happy to get this back
Tiny Flashlight
The reason I like this one over all others is because there's an option to have the light come on when the app is opened
This is super useful when remapping buttons to launch the light on a long press
I have an unlocked bootloader, so this guide isn't necessary for me. But, if I didn't, I would find this a Godsend. You are awesome sir, great work.
Some Ringtones I Made
I made these with acid pro
Iv converted them from stereo mp3 to mono ogg (Default ringtones were in ogg format I assume there's a reason for it)
and tweaked the volume to as loud as I could without it distorting (on my phone)
It only takes me 2 minuets to do this so im more than happy to do requests and id be interested in what you think would make a good ringtone.
Chaos Theory.ogg Ringtone (by conspiracy)
Tone starts at 2.34 in this vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PRbA9ltKX4
Blue Anthem.ogg Ringtone (by plus system)
Tone starts at about 33 seconds into this vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwDGUuUn888
Things Im Currently Working On / Would Like To Change
I want to stop the volume keys from changing the Ringtone volume (I want that on max all the time)
and remap them to open apps on long press (calculator and torch)
Without affecting media volume functions
change the pin lock screen to skip on security
meaning you don't have to press ok when you enter the correct pin
while I was testing roms I found a cyanogen mod variant by peetr that worked with my locked bootloader
ill paste the link here when i find it >>>>>>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240485&highlight=hybrid
id like to pinch the dialer, messenger, calculator and contacts apks from it but.... im not sure if it would be that simple and haven't the time right now

This can be achieved with some theming as you suggest, and does not require an unlocked bootloader.

When the screen is off your phone should automatically go into "deep sleep" which has the minimum cpu setting already applied so need to use this for that.
When your phone is on it is safe to have the cpu at stock speeds. However, if you do need to conserve battery (As I sometimes do when away on expedition) I do lower clock speeds but I am not sure this can be done without a custom kernel.
It definitely cannot be done to overclock without the unlocked bootloader, but I am still unsure if you can under clock without it. The app may report its set, but you need setcpu (Or some other app) to check which frequencies your phone has been running at. It may work, but I have never tried it with a stock kernel.
Nice thread mate, and thanks for the creds :good:
Maybe not a real guide (yet) but definitely some great pointers for other users looking to modify their ROM.
Too bad you can't get the kitchen set up right, there's probably some people around here who'd like to see it as a full-on ROM.
Like the name XTassy!
@gregbradley I tried CU Saver and kept an eye on the clocks with CPU Spy. Maxed the clock at 1242MHz and according to CPU Spy it never went over so seems to work well. Mind you, it also works with screen on, not just screen off!
Cheers for testing that, was it done on a stock kernel though

Yes stock kernel, locked bootloader.

I even changed active CPU Governor with No-frills CPU on stock fw.
Anyone know of some working performance tweaks like this? Any governor better than stock? Any magic script boosting Android like (in) famous Supercharger etc? That's kind of the modifications most users with locked bootloader will surely find interesting.
I didnt know people had replied! Guess I didnt subscribe to the thread lol. ill ad more to this tonight. Iv had a little bug (i think with cpu saver) screen would turn itself off right after wake up it did it over and over till i rebooted. But hasnt happend since. Other than that underclock seems to work fine

Firstly mods, I apologize if this is in the wrong place. Please feel free to move it!
So lets get started. What are the "must have" apps that everybody is using on their MM MXPE? Whats working and what's broken?
Right now I am using:
Nova Launcher(donate)
Titanium Backup Pro
ES File Explorer
xPosed w/ GravityBox(Greenify module not yet activated)
Greenify
Root Booster
SD Booster
Uninstaller Pro
I'm probably missing one or two... I haven't installed BB from the free BusyBox Installer app as I haven't checked compatibility. I like Root Booster but I don't want to pay for the pro edition and while the simplicity is nice, the lack of fine grain control and any real explanation of what it is doing to achieve its promised gains is kind of a turn off. I wish there was a good, free, alternative that has an easy and intuitive interface that allows for not only one tap mods but further fine grain control. I know there are various options available but for some reason I see many people recommend Root Booster. Also, I swear xposed and/or GB are hitting my battery and I'm certainly not doing anything exotic with them. Anyway, What is everybody else using? What are your MM compatible must haves for the MXPE? Anything that takes advantage of some of our specific to MXPE features and the 6.0 iteration that we presently limited to? Share your list here!
Have to be careful using Greenify if you wish to enable all options (mainly hibernating system apps).. It causes unexpected restarts.
Titanium Backup Pro can detect nandroid backup on sd card ?? i cant
Naptime. It lets you activate doze when the screen turns off or you can set by amount of time, instead of the phone having to be flat and motionless for 30 minutes.

Google launcher is just overhyped,sure its fast but even old launchers from many years ago have more customization then Google now.
No I won't pay for xposed gel settings In order to be able to use for example custom icons lol...

How did you get Naptime working? My settings never stick. I even tried Doze Settings Editor but it doesn't stick either. Actually, it doesn't seem to change the values at all.

With the advent of xposed for Nougat, I recently bit the bullet and made the upgrade from Marshmallow. I'm now running m00nlight 3.1 (b386).
I use the official smart cover which utilised music controls without even opening the case. This was useful for driving and generally protecting the screen.
I am an avid Poweramp user (currently using a version 3 alpha build). It used to use the default huawei lockscreen music widgets, but now it isn't working.
The option is enabled in Poweramp, the widgets work with the default huawei music player and Google Play Music app, but not a 3rd party app. I've also tried Poweramp 2 (Stable) and Stellio Music Player, to ensure it's not an app issue. This leads me to believe it's a ROM limitation.
I found a walkthrough here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-add-third-party-music-apps-emui-lock-screen/ but it already shows the Poweramp app as whitelisted for the lockscreen. I also added the Stellio app to hw_defaults.xml to whitelist it and that didn't work.
Furthermore, I downloaded a Huawei theme to provide a static wallpaper lockscreen as I read that could be an issue. No avail.
Xposed isn't currently enabled.
Do I have any options?
I'm interested in the much simpler customization:
To be able to jump to the previous/next song on the locked screen by using Volume Plus/Minus buttons (with the stock Music player)
This is possible with Xposed, GravityBox module...
Edit: Found a simple solution skipping songs on the locked screen by Vol +/- keys, installed Frinky MusicController from GooglePlay, it does not require root or so and it works fine with both YouTube (playlists) and Music
