Root ZV6 V.5 Stock Mod - Debloated - No Gapps

I'm still on the V2 xperia rom and there is this running app called "LG MLT" what is that for exactly? Online research gives me mixed results on what this is, however the general consensus seems to be that whatever this "MLT" is can be disabled or removed.

Will look and see. I will decompile it to get a better idea of what it is for.
 
MLT.apk is a handler for MPT services involving external media. I wouldn't delete it. May interfere with sd card operations.

Do you have a source for this? When I research this online I find articles and people saying this service is only for tracking and data mining.

EDIT: did you find this info when you decompiled the apk?
 
Just wondering if there is any way (noob friendly) to theme this with material design (for someone else who knows almost nothing about phones)? I could root the phone for him but I don't think he would be willing to use any of the custom roms with all the bugs they have. Thanks

When the latest update is completed... can we dirty flash this or should we clean flash it?
Click to expand...

With the changes I currently have,I do not suggest dirty flash. I will also need to write a brief note about g2tweaks so users know what to leave off to avoid conflicts.

For now those would be color and transparency changes to quick settings,qslide and notifications in general unless you want different coloring and transparency levels

also leave off 4 way reboot mod..i have added reboot,hot reboot and recovery.

clock settings should be ok with left clock in...just change it if you want it located elsewhere or removed.

looking at tethering.smail to see if i can disable tethering check..but its all gibberish to me at this point lol...we shall see if i can overcome the gibberish factor.

g2tweaks will still be useful for some things. so will be leaving it in.

Thanks for all the hard work everything looks great I'm wondering what happened with the update
Click to expand...


Polishing things up. It got crazy after attempting numerous ways to CENTER the damned status bar clock. Nothing works. It either stays bumped right up against the data icons in the center or the opposite on the other side..using common centering methods do not have any effect at all. I am currently doing things with lockscreen weather. I eventually went back with the clock to the far left...oddly enough its not even in the right place in the xml layout to even BE to the far left...but there it be. LG has implemented many add ons to the standard andoid xml language. Makes things a pain in the ass to be honest. Even edits from other peoples mods for LG devices refuse to make certain things stick as they should. Once I get done with the weather screen stuff I will upload them both.
 
Does anyone else get this glitch from time to time? I just think it's funny.

Stock rom updated. Xperia Rom on hold. Not sure I will continue it. Check OP for link and new screens. Much more I want to do. As for Xperia it may undergo a major change or be retired.

I'm still a little confused about the MLT.apk I've disabled it in the past with no apparent ill effects but I didn't really test it through before I updated roms.

all i know is it is an app that has something to do with storage support. youll notice when installing drivers for windows that windows recognizes mtp as one of the devices abilities..well i think this is what that is. also in recovery there is an option to disable mtp or enable it. you can mess around with it and see if it hinders use of storage in any way. it may just be something related to storage that really isnt needed. i leave it. but it wont cause you to boot loop or cause rom to not work if you remove it. although you may lose some storage related use. cant hurt to take it out and test things out.
 
As you can see by the decompiled manifest it has access to many things.

also in the screenshot you can see it monitors a ton of activity on the device.

it appears to do a lot for such a tiny little app. but the whole mpt,mtp..what ever the flip that is...leads me to think its storage related in some way..but obviously more then just that also. watcher has a negative vibe about it in some of those smali names lol...lg spying on us.

If you search for it online you'll find that's what other people seem to believe about Mlt.apk. I'm going to remove it on my end. I should be able to extract it from a rom zip to reinstall if there are any issues.
