This is for Rooted 1418 VIBEROM.
The ROM 1418 without SecureIt will have some weird behaviour in recents activity.
For example, it will clear all service including google service which is needed to running in background.
I have found some mod for this.
1) Download the NotificationCenter.apk from attachment.
2) Please remove NotificationCenter.odex in system/app
3) Replace the new NotificationCenter.apk to system/app.
4) Your system will restart automatically.
5) U will able to clear all Apps without clear google framework service.

This is a port of Xperia Z framework.
All the ported frameworks for Xperia U had one thing missing which I liked, their app background did not change with the theme. So I decided to do my own port where I retained this feature. This framework is compiled by me and has over 2000 images ported from Xperia Z. And the app background also does change now :good:
Features:
1. Complete Xperia Z framework.
2. Fixes AOSP music controls alignment issue.
3. I cannot possibly list all the changes here so why don't you consult the screenshots for some, or better yet try it for the whole experience
See attachments for screenshots
How to install:
1. Download framwork-res.apk from the attachments
2. Copy it to your sdcard
3. Move it to any folder in your system (ANY folder other than system/framework)
4. Change permissions to rw-r-r-
5. Now move the the file to system/framework
6. Immediately reboot your system
7. Enjoy
NOW! Before you proceed any further let me explain something to you. Framework-res.apk is an extremely sensitive file. Do NOT copy the file directly to system/framework without changing permissions first, or it will crash the OS and brick your phone. Copy the file first to any folder in system/ (except framework) (I personally copy files to system/media/ then change permissions and move files elsewhere) Change the permissions to rw-r-r- like:
X-X
X
X
And then move the file to system/framework.
Finally I am not responsible if you brick your device due to not following the instructions properly. If you did everything right and there are any bugs or problems you're most welcome to ask and I will surely help.
Try and post your experiences in the comments.
Credits to ZN6 and Mtakween for their Xperia Z framework port. Check their work out as well :good:

:silly:
Hey people,
I realized the Google Chrome browser demands lots of battery, so I wanted to change to another browser. There is nothing better than the AOSP one. But while installing it there seems to be a lil´ problem:
There is an app called com.android.browser.provider which comes preinstalled with stock ROM, probably to make Google Chrome work. So this app, has a ContentProvider declared with a specific authority name. The AOSP Browser app has another ContentProvider which its authority name IS THE SAME as the "com.android.browser.provider"´s one. This makes the Android package manager complain at AOSP Browser app install time.
So in order to be able to get AOSP Browser installed and running some steps must be previously executed. There are two ways:
A.-THE MANUAL WAY
1.- Settings -> Apps -> com.android.browser.provider -> Clear data
2.- File Manager -> Delete /system/app/com.android.browser.provider" folder
3.- File Manager -> Delete /data/data/com.android.browser.provider" folder
4.- Reboot
5.- Install attached Browser.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
B.-THE COMMANDO WAY
1.-Terminal Emulator -> Execute the following commands:
su
rm /system/app/com.android.browser.provider (Removes apk folder from /system/app/ location)
pm clear com.yourapp.packagename (Removes application data)2.- Reboot
3.- Install attached Browser.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then, AOSP Browser should be running :highfive::highfive::highfive:
Please comment if there are any problems :good:
If anyone gets an up-to-date APK post here and I will update the OP.
EXTRA: SYNC BOOKMARKS WITH YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT:
The following steps show how to make AOSP BROWSER have the bookmarks saved in your Google account:
1.- Install attached BookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
2.- Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> /** Wanted Google Account */ -> Switch on Sync Browser
3.- A notification (exclamation sign) should be shown. Click it. (In order to authorize the app to sync bookmarks with your account)
4.- Settings -> Apps -> Browser -> Force Close
5.- Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For up-to-date-is-a-must obsessed people:
-Browser.apk targetSdkVersion is 22. So its the last one (Official Stable Android 6.0 has not been released yet)
-BookmarksSyncAdapter.apk targets 16 SDK version. It seems to be discontinued as is not preinstalled in latest AOSP Roms
Can't install Booksmarkssync app. What is another way?

Really dont know. First, I should check the logcat to find the cause so, could you post thee logcat?
Also, you can try installing it as a system app:
1.-Create /system/app/BookmarksSyncAdapter/ folder
2.-Copy BookmarksSyncAdapter.apk into the previously created folder
3.-Set permissions -rw-r--r-- to the apk
4.-Reboot
5.-Goto Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> Your Google account and check if "Browser" item is listed

there was already a fully working solution in the forum.. just search "material design aosp browser". just need to delete BrowserProviderProxy if present in system/app first
isn't it dangerous to delete the existing file which may be more up to date with security?
is it not possible to simply rename internally the Browser.apk so it does not conflict?
I have 3 apps called "calendar" that do the same thing.
Code:
com.boxer.calendar
com.boxer.email
com.google.android.calendar
none appear in apps. How can these be removed (or at least hidden from the apps drawer)?
I never even use Boxer. I'm running CM 12.1
Check /system/app, it is usually located and installed there. If you found it, just delete the folder and the app will be gone.
This is for those who does not really want all the fancy features that are present in Stock Touchwiz ROM and prefer to only have what is on Stock Android or Pixel-like experience.
All credits goes to the creator of each mod involved.
Requirements:
- Custom recovery like TWRP
- Rooted Phone (SuperSU / Magisk)
- File Manager with Root Access. I use Root Explorer
- OpenGApps (arm64,7.0) (package: stock/super/aroma) - This will enable some Nexus/Pixel exclusive features and install Google Apps that are preloaded on Nexus/Pixel Devices including apps that usually can't be installed as normal apk such as below:
- Google Phone
- Google Contacts
- Google Camera (Slow Motion isn't working)
- Google Now Card (swipe to right)
- Google Search Pill
- "OK Google" voice detection
Instructions:
* First thing to do is to flash OpenGApps via TWRP
Link: http://opengapps.org
* Install a navbar overlay from below thread to get Stock Android (AOSP) NavBar or Pixel NavBar. Install it as normal apk.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
* Replace the stock Pixel Launcher (located at '/root/system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk') with this modded Launcher (link below). This launcher is basically the same as the stock Pixel Launcher with enabled features like round icons for app that supports it. More information on the original thread.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/launcher3-pixel-launcher-features-t3620972
* Below are some apps i'm using that are supported:
- Google Photos
- Google Play Music
- Google Drive
- Google Calendar
- Google Calculator
- Google Keep
- Google News&Weather
- Google Playstore
- Google Drive
- Google Calendar
- Youtube
- Gmail
- XDA Labs
- XDA Feed
- Twitter
And now that you got all that is required to have a Pixel-like UI / Experience, it's time to make your ROM lightweight.
* Create a folder in your Internal Storage or SD Card named "system" and inside it, create folders "app" and "priv-app". This is to make sure that you can always revert back the changes that you'll make.
* Open your File Manager with root access and navigate to "root/system/app" or "root/system/priv-app"
This is where you can find all the installed apps in your system. In my case, what i do is "cut and paste" the whole folder to Internal Storage and then reboot to remove the bloat that i don't need.
I am currently on Renovate Ice ROM - r98 build (AQF7 FIRMWARE) and below is the list of what i have removed.

I am not getting any Force Closes / Crashes / Errors. Just make sure to reboot your device after cutting and pasting system apps to your Internal Storage.
When you realized that you needed something back, just copy and paste the whole folder to where you got them and set the correct permission.
For the folder, set the permission to "rwxr-xr-x".
For the apk inside, set the permission to "rw-r-r".
then reboot your device.
If you want to have an updated google apps as soon as it becomes available, you may download latest apks at apkmirror website then replace existing apk in the system, set the correct permission, and reboot. I've done it to almost all google apps without any issue.
I will try to update this thread to include all apps that can be removed based on stock firmware that's freshly installed.
