I've seen plenty of videos about the Z2, but I'm wondering 1 thing.
Is it possible to remove the white bar with SmallApps from the Multitasking menu?

Let's say I root the Xperia Z2 and remove it, will I be able to return to factory settings when I do a reset? Aka the deleted file be back again?
I'm on a Nexus 4 now but I don't know how things work regarding rooting on other phones.

using root it wont come back from a factory reset but resetting via flashtool(flashtool.net) or sony PC companion will totaly reset the device to a complete factory state (exept bootloader being unlocked, that stays untill the user restores their TA partition backup or relocks their bootloader

Yes! That is what I mean. Do I really need root for that or can it be disabled in the settings
I think root is needed because it can't be disabled with built-in App Manager

So I was tinkering with some stuff trying to get a semi transparent app drawer to work. I got that to work and now have a close to perfect setup for my device. The only thing wrong now is that my app shortcuts on the lockscreen are missing. I've tried numerous things to get it back to no avail. I was trying to hold off from performing a hard reset. Does anyone know of a way to reinstall the lockscreen itself without having to hard reset? Everything else is so nice that I'm almost considering leaving it as is. Thanks in advance.

I actually really like what you have there. I've been working to remove the shortcuts ... lol. Do you think you could send me or post your APKs?
And yes ... if you pull the APKs from the stock ROM, you can use ADB or a File Manager to import the APKs back into the ROM. It will restore the original setup.
Thanks
fix
i think that you could probably take the setup that they have for the glass skin and apply that to your current work they have a transparent lock screen i believe

Any chance you want to share that background?
As far as fixes the only one I would know would break your transparent lock bar so I am not sure
I have rooted my XS, and I used root explorer to clean the unwanted apps.
Where can I find the PC-Compansion.apk? so that by deleting it, it will not ask you to install the software when you connect it to the computer. I know it's under the system/app for X10, but I can't find it on XS.
Also, I've uninstalled (normal method of uninstalling) some apps that came with the stock rom (e.g. whatsapp, wildpilot). but if i factory reset the XS, they come back!!!
I just want to know where are they hiding so i can send them to hell!!
Thanks

You can uncheck the pc companion if you don't want to ask you again.
The apps are stored in /data/app

i now i can uncheck, but it still uses up some space...
and i've double checked data/app, it was empty before i do master reset, and the apps still come back....
i wouldn't come here and ask if it was that easy

I don't think you can remove pcc cause the settings will FC.
And for the apps you can edit the ftf(system.img) file and build your own firmware without the junk apps.

oh. is this the only way to remove them?
It's weird... because i can "uninstall" them (i don't know if it's actually just "hiding" them from the app drawer), they are "gone", i mean i can't find them anywhere... but they come back after a factory reset... shouldn't a factory reset clean all apps that isn't under system/app and why is Sony putting them there permanently...
anyway, thanks!!

No, a factory reset will set the phone back to the original firmware state, and thus any apps that are part of that image will be restored. Some carriers will add their own stuff to an image, and Sony themselves will usually bundle some free stuff in the firmware depending on the region.
Personally, I use Whatsapp a lot, so I don't mind it being pre-included.
I think you need to have a deeper understanding of how things work first.
I removed in my phone several apps but in menu still is a entry for Sprint ID, then i want remove or replace the default app for this button, in another words replace shortcut destination/folder for when i select/open Sprint ID instead open other app.
In this menu (example):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks.
I'm sorry, what?
Most custom launchers like Launcher Pro will allow you to hide apps from the app drawer, but for the Menu, I am unclear on what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to add a shortcut to the sub menu? I don't see Sprint ID anywhere on that screen-shot, confused on what exactly you're trying to replace.

This screenshoot is not mine but that menu open with same key in my phone, i´m not sure which name is.
Oh, okay. You mean this.
Yeah, the only way I got around it was installing a replacement launcher.
If there's a way to replace that option on the menu, I'm sure that it'll need to be flashed over, and at that point you might as well try out another ROM
Something like this, which is a stock rom that has been de-blurred, and most of the Sprint bloatware removed.

Or you can run this script that will de-cruft your current rom.

Doesn't require root? That sounds good! :good:
Can you also save app data? :highfive:
Like Titanium backup does with root

I Will Lost all file in my phone?
Tried Evereything! Did find the best solution. OK Google works!
I just got adb tool and drivers and removed ALL of the bloatware including the voice assistant, store, cloud you name it. I installed Nova Launcher as that seems to be very good and most like Anroid 9 Pie in terms of customisation. Romoved oppo launcher of course and reboot.
Set up Google Assistant and then you have the option in the settings with Nova launccher to have it as enabled all the time and disco!
The only thing you can't do is wake it up from locked screen with Hey or O|k google. However as soon as you have swiped in and its had a look at your head everything is voice activated. You have to occasionly choose and confirm the app mainly at first time off using that command such as which clock (I had the system and google one) for timer and alarm sets and which calender or reminders etc and same with notes. However it is just a click 1 time and then you never notice you are using an inuriating chinese variant!
You have to block everything in the settings for the remaining stock apps that you either can't delete or shouldn't.
Also I think having an Oppo ID was useful and will be if anything goes wrong. Although I'm told all the apps and everything come back after a factory reset but you never know.
I'm actually happy with the phone now and enjoy using it ffor the first tome since getting it and being sorely dissapointed!!
'll try and answer any questions but there are lists and links on here ffor the adb platform tools, drivers and commands etc as well as a list of programs safe to delete which is a little outdated as there are now more but the risky ones iI still agree are probably not worth rocking the boat with.
Not sure about other launchers but I had loads installed and Nova came recomended and seems to be unique in being able to set the gogle assistant as default because otherwise I would have found a post like this one by now sureley??
Get it done, its life changing and low risk high reward!!
PS. You can now use any widget you want to your hearts desire with this configuration and so far nothing in chinese has popped up and its ully customised to my liking and very usable!!!
