Even though its primary designed for runners Marathon can be used with all kinds of outdoor activities.
Any suggestions/constructive feedback is welcome . The application is currently translated to: English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian and Swedish.
Key features:
• Records speed, distance, calories consumed, climb/decline, etc.
• Shows charts of speed and altitude change.
• Draws your route on a map.
• Share your results online, on your blog, Twitter or Facebook.
• Earn achievements for your training (Not related to Xbox LIVE achievements).

Wow, it looks really good and seems to be very fingerfriendly.
I think it fits well into the Metro style.
Only thing to criticize: The touch input to raise and lower the weight for example (Video min: 1:33) could be done a bit nicer I think.
As example you could do it the same way it's done in the OS.
Here a video (min 7:21): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSoEhHV5BFU
Just one thing: In the beginning and the end you can see that the title of your app is Marahon and not Marathon. Just a little thing to fix
Regards
Sry for my english, hope you understand what I mean.
Looking good!
Although in some places the UI is a bit confusing, such as in the video at 0.26 where you have Goals Goals as the pivot and Open Open, why is this? as its not clear from the video. You also see this again later in the video with Edit Edit and Twitter twitter etc.
Also at 2.13 it's not clear that you can swipe to the right to see Calibration settings as its not hinted in the pivot
Other than that, I think it looks very cool

Yeah I agree with the Goals Goals and Open Open thing. Perhaps the second word can be grayed out shadow in the background isntead of looking like there is more.
Other than that it looks great, definately something I can use this fall when I start walking/jogging outside.
It looks great.
I'm currently using a similar application (RunSat) on WM, which has two features you might want to add. I personally love both of the listed features, so you could consider whether adding them is worth the effort.
Exporting results to excel / a spreadsheat is something I really like (showing three columns: time, speed, average speed. Could consider adding more). If you have multiple times on the same course, you could have column 1 trough 3 for your first, 5 trough 7 for your second, etc. so it's easy to compare your performance.
Another useful feature is auto-pausing the training when you're standing still (very useful if there's a bridge on the course). Not sure if you already support manual pausing, but that obviously can be useful too.
I'm already very familiar with the app I'm currently using, but I might consider switching to your WM6 app. For WP7 I'm pretty sure I'll get yours after seeing your demo!
Good luck with further development, I'm very happy to see another dev preparing for the WP7 launch
freeriders:
The numeric input panel you linked looks really sweet. I'll keep that in mind and see if I can make something similar .
DMAND/cyclical:
Sorry about the "Goals Goals" thing, I should have mentioned that it will not be there in the final release (it's there because I'm temporary using an open source Pivot control which doesn't support single pages, Microsoft will release their own Pivot control before the release. So I'm awaiting theirs before I invest too much time in making a "single page pivot lookalike".)
cPT.cAPSLOCK:
The WM6 app supports exporting to CVS (which you can open in Excel), I would add it to the WP7 app if I knew how to give the user his file . Since there's no traditional fileesystem you can't just save it. But since the WP7 app will be compatible with the webpage (www.marathon-mobile.net) you can always use the "Share" feature to upload the result to the webpage and then save it as kml/gpx/cvs from there.
Manual pausing is already supported, I want to implement auto-pause but I haven't done it yet since I'm not sure how to handle the noice in the GPS-signal in a proper way. But I guess I have to accept that the feature will work in ALMOST all cases.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Cool, I thought that might be the reason , hopefully the offical controls are released soon
What's the point?
I'm not sure there's any point in porting an app like this over to WiPhone7 when it can't run in the background. If you use your phone the app will be frozen, not to mention if you get a call or check a mail. Hopefully people remember to resume it after they're done. I can't even listen to Pandora or .977 or use a navigation app (not that there is one) at the same time, which is when I'd use it.
This app would be better ported to webOS which could actually handle it.
Hello,
I'm agree with freeriders concerning the numeric panel.
What do you use to realize charts ?
Thanks
gaijin1%
I'm a .NET developer and I find the WP7 platform interesting, so I'm porting this app to WP7 . Unfortunately I dont have enough spare time to port it to yet another platform, such as WebOS. Its possible to run under lock screen and as long as you stick to the built in music player you can listen to music while you're out running, and thats enough for me. I do agree that real multitasking would be neat, but this is not the tread to debate WP7 OS design .
Roccc
I'm using Silverlight Toolkit (http://silverlight.codeplex.com/) for charting. It seems to work good, but I haven't received my real device yet, so I can't be sure the performance is OK.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks a lot for the toolkit
Me too, I haven't received my real device :S
I've released another video, its available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vldm4WVguLk
Unfortunately I haven't had the time to improve the touch controls for numeric inputs (such as weight), but it's still something I want to do . I also plan to move some more buttons down to the application bar and add some more stuff to the map.
Looks great, but i guess you have to think about a good background. I also think there are to much options, so it should be nice if they will be arranged in groups
This is great.
I am planning to get rid of my desire in favour of a new WP7 phone later this month and I have been thinking about ways to track my running activity while waiting for an app to do just that. Glad to see someone is already working on it. I am very much looking forward to give it a try!

It doesn't need to run in the background. Just Disable UserIdleDetection mode and some Tombstoning and phone calls will interrupt the app, but it will reload. I use Caliburn.Micro framework for WP7 apps, and it makes it really easy to do. Just be sure to Enable UserIdleDetectionMode when closed or tombstoned. This passes cert and is different from ApplicationIdleDetectionMode, which requires user opt-in.
As promised I've released a free version of the app, a link is available in the first post .
Nice app and get's it done in a very fluid manner. There are a lot of options to customize setup for individuals and such. One feature that would be nice to further add to the customization would be adding the ability to reorder the home screen (smaller items). Like current speed, average speed, decline, etc. For instance, I would like to be able to see (along with the most main items which you nailed..time and distance) calories and average pace when I just glance at my phone. As it is now, I have to swipe a little to see that row of information. My only suggestion is it's great as I said. And thanks a lot.
I've just released another update to the app (2.8). The biggest news is the ability to earn achievements (not xbox live) for your workout. Here's a list of the available achievements: http://www.marathon-mobile.net/Results/Achievements . Hopefully It'll help people get a little extra motivated to work out . Other news in 2.8 is FR/IT/NL/ES/SV voices as well as an auto-pause feature.
kwill: Thanks for the feedback, I've thought about letting the user re-organize the dashboard. But I haven't implemented anything like that yet.
Here's a little preview of the upcoming release: http://www.marathon-mobile.net/Info/Development
It'll enable Marathon to upload your results "live", so friends and family can watch the progress while you are out running . The feature will be available in both the free and premium version of Marathon and I'm targeting a release in early August (The feature is done, but I'm going on a vacation soon. So I'll keep it for a while ).
Version 3.0 is now available. It's been updated to Mango, so it supports fast app switching and 32bit colors.

Android 5.0 "Lollipop" is the latest version of the Android mobile operating system developed by Google. Unveiled on June 25, 2014 during Google I/O, it became available as official over-the-air (OTA) updates on November 12, 2014 for select devices that run distributions of Android serviced by Google, including Nexus and Google Play edition devices. Its source code was made available on November 3, 2014.
One of the most prominent changes in the Lollipop release is a redesigned user interface built around a responsive design language referred to as "material design". Other changes include improvements to the notifications, which can be accessed from the lockscreen and displayed within applications as top-of-the-screen banners. Google also made internal changes to the platform, with the Android Runtime (ART) officially replacing Dalvik for improved application performance, and with changes intended to improve and optimize battery usage, known internally as Project Volta.
QUESTIONS:
-What are you guys thinking about this new update for our phones?
-What are you thinking about new MATERIAL DESIGN?
-What about ART? (pros--cons)
-Guest user mode? Good?
-What about app compatibility?
-more soon
For now we know that
@ALEX.IMER work on CM12 for L7 (make all,but stuck on graphic module).
@Asce1062 work on CyanHacker L for L7 & L5
@aidasaidas75 Finished CM12 for L5 HERE
We have kernels which support both devices, that is good thing
For L7 there is IMER kernel which is in all his roms
For L5 there is SKernel by @skyinfo HERE
Also there is GAPPs thread by @Plamb1r and @Paget96 (me) HERE
Material design: fluid, purposeful motion
More tangible interaction
Content responds to your touch in an intuitive way.
More time playing, less time charging
Power for the long haul with a battery saver feature that extends your device by up to 90 minutes. And now it's easier to manage your power usage - see the estimated time left before you need to charge, and when you're charging, approximately how much time until it's topped up and ready to go.
More ways to secure your device
Share your device securely with guest user mode. Or create multiple user accounts to enable friends to log in on your device. In either case, no one will be able to access any of your stuff. And you can use Android Smart Lock to secure your phone or tablet by pairing it with a trusted device like your wearable or even your car.
Your device, your rules
For fewer worries and disruptions, adjust your settings so only certain people and notifications get through. When it's important, respond directly from your lockscreen.

-Next Lollipop updates-
Update 5.0.1
As of now, there is no word on what precise changes the Android 5.0.1 update brings; though we can expect the release to bring fixes to various bugs and issues reported by Android 5.0 Lollipop users in the recent few weeks. With the release of Android 5.0.1 factory images for Nexus devices, we can expect that Google will soon announce the incremental update.
Update 5.0.2
Android 5.0 is has been publicly available since early November, and the number of devices getting Google’s latest OS is growing bigger every day. In the first few weeks after its release, Google focused on stability and released quite a few update builds. Now, it’s the time for a small numerical bump, because Android 5.0.2 has just been pushed into Google’s AOSP repos.
Android 5.0.1 was rather minor update, with only a few notable changes. Android 5.0.2 is definitely bigger, but it’s still not huge. Google managed to address some issues with MountService which should now start before performBootDexOpt. This fixes a previously reported bug in the issue tracker. Some other changes related to NAND have also been pushed. Fstrim, introduced in Android 4.3, caused some serious issues on Lollipop. According to this log provided by XDA Recognized Developer cybojenix, devices turned off for the night had problems with fstrim being launched at all. Google addressed the issue and devices with slow NAND should now have a noticeable performance boost.
Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) and Nexus 7 (Mobile Data) device trees have been updated. As a result, new factory images for the Nexus 7 (2012) and updated binary files are have been pushed. As usual you can get them from the Android Developer Page. An updated device tree for tilapia is a good sign, as it’s one of two devices that haven’t received an official update already. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, signaling that Google will finally bring official Lollipop to the missing devices sooner rather than later.
If you want to build Android 5.0.2 yourself, you can update your current sources by executing the following command:
repo init -b android-5.0.2_r1 && repo sync
Update 5.0.3
A memory leak occurs when Android allocates a chunk of system memory for a task and then doesn’t release it again. This means that over time more and more memory will be allocated and none ever given back. Even with 2 or 3GB of RAM, eventually the system will run out of memory, and that is never pretty.
The thread on the issue tracker is hard to follow as there are lots of complaints and there is lots of general unhappiness, but little in the way of official comments from Google or Android developers. However it does now seem that Google has agreed that this is a bug, and that it has been fixed in the source code. What that means is that the latest source code used to build Android doesn’t leak memory. However that doesn’t actually help affected users at the moment. The next step is for Google to make a new release of Android, probably Android 5.0.3 Lollipop, with this and other bug fixes. However there is no news on when that will be. Let’s hope it will be soon.
Update 5.1
Google released Android 5.0 just over a month ago, and since then Lollipop has been trying to establish its position in the global smartphone market. Despite its many new features and overall greatness, Android 5.0 has many issues that still need to be addressed. According to our colleagues at AndroidPIT and their two internal sources, Google is working on Android 5.1, which should really come as no surprise because software progress is inevitable. We already know that Google is always looking ahead, but the interesting part is that if rumors are to be believed, we’ll see 5.1 as soon as the end of February.
This information, although plausible, could strike one as a bit odd. After all, usually Google releases one or two versions of its OS per year. But with the potential release of 5.1 right around the corner, it’s unclear as to why Google would want to roll out a new update so soon.
If AndroidPIT’s sources are to be believed, the update will allegedly bring following improvements:
-Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
-General improvements in system stability
-Improved RAM management
-Fixes for sudden app closures
-Improved battery management
-Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
-Issues with wireless connections fixed
-Problems with Okay Google function solved
-Notifications problems solved
-Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
-Other improvements and changes
The to-do list is rather long, and Google will definitely address some of these problems. AndroidPIT claims that they got this news from sources close to Google and Android 5.1 will soon become a reality. We can only wait to see whether these revelations are real or not.

General discusion about KITKAT for L5 & L7
The Android 4.4 KitKat operating system uses advanced memory optimization technologies. As a result, it is available on Android devices with as little as 512 MB of RAM. This is important because previous versions of the operating system required more internal memory which made them incompatible with many older device models. This was a major cause of the problem known as Android fragmentation.
Android 4.4 KitKat features a cleaner user interface, Near Field Communication (NFC) support and always-on touch screen action buttons, which replace the need for the physical buttons found on many Android devices. KitKat also boasts an improved security-enhanced Linux module, which helps prevent unauthorized app access.
Google announced Android 4.4 KitKat in September 2013 and debuted it on the Nexus 5 smartphone the following month. For months prior to the release, observers expected the OS to be called Key Lime Pie, but Google renamed it as part of a marketing promotion with the Hershey Company, which sells a candy bar called Kit Kat in the United States.

From my experience w/ L from my aging galaxy tab 10.1 is great. Its smoother than KK.
AFAIK, @Asce1062 will make cyanhacker L. That's what he said on his thread and this will be due this DEC 20. We just hope so and wait.
For me, LS and cyanhacker will be great for L. Since this two ROMs were the smoothest of all KK I've ever flashed. Except for the last version of LS which is buggy.
So for now let's just wait and see.

Yes, I have been syncing LS trees since they had Lollipop ? before Cyanhaker. But now that will change . I will be building Cyanhaker (Which is now based off of CM 12)... The developers promised to implement the speed tweaks from LS and even improve on them. Then maybe later on I will build LS.

XPrivacyLua Pro companion app
This thread is to discuss about the pro companion app of XPrivacyLua.
You can install the pro companion app for free and manage hook definitions and access the hook definition repository for free. You can see how the other features work, but using them requires a purchase:
backup and restore all settings
manage individual hooks per app
set/randomize custom identifiers globally/per app
allow (non) starred contacts globally/per app
set custom fake or coarse location globally/per app
view a global log of which restriction were applied and when
notify on applying an app restriction
dark theme
Although the pro companion app is stable, it will be forever published in the Play store as "testing" because I don't want to deal with unfair ratings/comments. Just too many people have unreasonable expectations.
If you value your privacy, please consider to support this project by purchasing pro features or with a donation.
If you want to install the pro companion app and activate the pro features without Google services, please contact me through this contact form: https://contact.faircode.eu (select "XPrivacyLua standalone").
The pro companion app is supported with Xposed only.

The just released version 0.24 allows for flashing up to five ROMs a week.
Is there a reboot required after updating the Pro App, or are there dependencies to the XLua version installed?
I just updated the Pro App (not exactly sure from which version, but think from Monday). I then just wanted to doublechek if for Whatsapp the contact restriction is still set to "Allow starred" but there was no dropdown available when being in the Whatsapp Pro App contact section (was just an empty place). Nevertheless in ProApp global settings, the dropdown was available in contact section. I then updated XLua (from 1.11.3) to 1.11.4, rebooted and everything was fine again (so dropdown available for Whatsapp and also "Allow starred" was set.

Updating the pro companion app doesn't require a reboot.
The issue might be caused by updating.
Since it is fixed now I will leave it as it is, but don't hesitate to comment here if it occurs again and I will look into it.

Some people using the pro companion app without Google services installed are frequently flashing a new ROM, which resulted into the pro activation being deactivated. This was being solved by requesting a new activation until now, but this was both inconvenient for them and for me. This has been solved in version 0.24.
Hello, and thank you for enhancing your work to allow for stable compatibility with 6.0+.
I purchased XPrivacy several years ago, and enabling pro entailed keeping my xprivacy_license.txt on my sdcard.
Will my existing license file enable pro for xprivacylua? Or is the pro xprivacylua a separate purchase for a separate product?
Thank you again for helping ensure our privacy.

Hello Marcel,
Sorry to ask again but it's ok to update to 0.28 via Play? Or keep 0.26 as on your website? I don't know if installing the Play version over the website version will ruin things, that's why i ask, sorry.

Version 0.28 is now available off Play store too, mostly to prevent confusion.
Just restart the app to force an update check.
The changes are relevant for Play store users only though.
Version 0.29 of the companion app supports defining hooks for constructors by leaving the method name empty.
Here are a few that I've seen demos on but could not get to work on my North American (Rogers) Huawei Mate20 Pro. Publish other features confirmed not working.
Build Number: 9.0.0.146(C792E15R1P17)
- Hivision. This feature covers the missing "eye" logo from the camera app, dragging up from the bottom corner of the screen to launch Hivoice and Hivision, the missing "eye" beside the search bar found after dragging down (in Gesture mode) to open the device search and the two finger press action to identify "on screen" objects. Hivision not available was
- Magazine Unlock: The ability to use and configure the Magazine Unlock features on the phone. you should be able to select through a list of feeds that get displayed in your personal "Magazine". The feature is supposed to be available under: Settings > Security & privacy > Screen lock & passwords > Lock screen style, and select the default Magazine unlock style.
- 3D Live Maker - You may be able to find this in the Google Play store. I did. It's called "3D Live Maker" - developer contact is [email protected]
Citations on Unavailable features:
Hivision. source huawei.ca online support chat:
Quote from Huawei Support Chat:
Me: the phone help system suggest that I can use Hivision to identify items on my phone's display, but when I try the feature (by two finger pressing on a website for example, as described, I get a system message saying "Install HiVision to access this service"
Support: Yes, I would like to share with you that some features such as this one are not available in North America.
Me: What about the AI Google Lens like feature where I can take a photo and identify what that is in that photo? Like types of food and what not?
Support: Yes, actually this is the same feature, from HiVision.
Me: So Hivision is not available in north america at all?
Support: As of yet, we do not have these feature available.

Magazine Unlock.
source huawei.ca online support chat:
Quote from Huawei Support Chat:
Me: I was looking for information on how I can configure the Magazine Unlock features of my new phone. I saw a video online that suggested I should be able to click on Setting -> Home Screen & Wallpaper from there I should be able to see a screen like this one:
{
"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"
}
however, what I see is this one:
as you can see, I don't have the "magazine unlock " button
Support: Please go to the main Settings menu screen, at the top, on the Search bar, input Magazine, and tell me the options you see.
Me: None. Nothing comes up when I input Magazine.
Support: After double checking this situation, if you could not find the option through the steps previously mentioned this will mean that function is not available on your phone yet.
But do not worry, at the moment there is an update for the Mate 20 Pro that will arrive Over The Air by the end of this month, that will help us to add some features. My kindly suggestion for you is to wait for this update to arrive and install it on your device, in order to check this feature. Also, please allow me to invite you to visit our consumer website, we have manuals, FAQ and other information that can be helpful for you: https://consumer.huawei.com/ca/support/
Me: I actually was on that site before coming to support. I downloaded the manual but it did not have any reference to Hivision, or magazine unlock, while all of the information on the rest of the internet does would you happen to have a list of features that are not available in the north american version of the phone?
Support: My kindly suggestion for you is to visit our consumer website, we have manuals, FAQ and other information that can be helpful for you
Me: Do you have a list of features that the end of month update will be bringing?
Support: Currently there is no information about the contents of this update, I kindly suggest you to contact us back once you receive it, so you are certain that we have all the information about it.

Hola
My appreciation mate for going through this. Interesting that I don't see this widget in my browser. I must have some security feature turned on or similar that may be blocking this. I will look into this tomorrow. Again THANK YOU very much! :highfive:
It has been explained to the OP on several occasions that the 'Magazine Unlock' feature is fully implemented and working - just not in the settings themselves. You go to 'themes', and then 'me', and then 'cutomize', and you are free to choose 'Magazine Unlock' as your style of lockscreen. You don't need to even have a Huawei ID in order to do this. To actually customize the Magazine Unlock, you do it from the lockscreen itself. It all works, and it is as perfectly useless and horrible as one could imagine. Can someone please tell me what the point of having a lockscreen at all it? I pick up my phone, and it unlocks. WHY would I want to flip around to various backgrounds, or fudge my way through clunky and broken notifications, or do anything else from the lockscreen?

It has never been accurately explained - and, with all due respect, you are posting more rubbish (ie your last inaccurate post saying Hivision was Chinise fw only). You are confused. You are customizing the lock screen image for Magazine Unlock within the Theme, not the Magazine Unlock functionality. You are modifying a THEME configurable customization, not the Magazine Lock feeds. As quoted from Huawei - the feature is not available in the North American software load. You will not get a hit if you launch settings, type in Magazine into the search bar, AND have a North American software load.. Could someone who has a non-N/A version of the phone

While this isn't the thread to be posting a question like that, I'll entertain you, just this one time. Not everyone wants their phone to unlock immediately after looking at it, they may have personal, confidential or sensitive information behind the lock screen. This is precisely why there is an additional configurable "slide to unlock" after facial recognition. You have chosen to disable it, but I believe it's enabled by default - to each his own.
I'm not sure if you have been personally offended somewhere along the way or not, but i'd appreciate it if you would stop following me around, unless, of course, the unlikely event occurs where you are able to post some accurate or helpful information.

Quick question. Just to make sure I understand. By Magazine unlock do you mean the ability to have a different lock screen every time you wake up your phone or do you mean something else?

Yes - however the feed selection option is missing. Currently you can only select images from downloaded themes
The missing functionality is the ability to select/configure new feed streams.

Hivision?
Any updates on HiVision in Canada?
I'm with Telus and on 9.0.0.127. No HiVision yet.
Is there a way to install it manually?
I downloaded to the global 171 firmware from my Optus Australian firmware and lost all the magazine lock functionality as well.. it's technically still there but the images and categories that you could change before are gone.. had to aslo download some Huawei apps. Huawei ID up the top in settings is missing as well . Strange... Maybe because this firmware isn't technically really for public yet...

The very last thing anyone needs is for us to get into a pissing match about this. I just want to say that I have never said anything about Hi-Vision, so direct that particular witch hunt elsewhere. As for the Magazine Unlock, uhhh... What is your continued argument on this subject? It works, perhaps not in the way the the brochure promised you, but it works and the irony is I left it enabled and now I love it. The pictures featured are incredible, and the real power of it is that you could give your phone to someone else and they could do a variety of things with your phone without being able to unlock it. They can obviously take pictures, they can set alarms or timers, they can use a calculator, they can record audio, and they can use the flashlight. The ability to 'customize' it comes in the form of adding pictures to the gallery it uses to rotate through.
This phone is pretty new, so by all means contact Huawei and plead the case for Hi-Vision to be unlocked here in North America, but... So far, we have received timely updates via OTA, and we have even been given stuff like the crude beta implementation of IR scanning, which I hope they develop further. I'm still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, either way I doubt you will force an official answer out of them. A year from now, if we still don't have Hi-Vision we can talk about abducting the children of their CEO out of an airport to hold as hostage... Er, wait never mind.
PLEASE READ BEFORE USE OR ASK. IMPORTANT WARNING: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE FROM ANY SOURCE OTHER THAN THIS THREAD/FORUM. IT IS XDA EXCLUSIVE AND I WILL NOT RELEASE IT ON ANY OTHER FORUM. ANY FORUM THAT USES MY NAME OR REPOSTS IT IS NOT ME OR APPROVED BY ME. DOWNLOADING FROM ANYWHERE ELSE COULD RESULT IN TAMPERED OR MALWARE-INFECTED SOFTWARE.I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY VIRUSES OBTAINED BY DOWNLOADING THIS SOFTWARE FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED SOURCE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!.
IDEA BEHIND THIS SOFTWAREAs a long-time secondhand Xperia user, I have always preferred the Japanese version due to its lower price and Grade A quality. It is widely agreed upon that the Japanese version of the Xperia has slightly different hardware and software, and is often full of bloatware and dead services, especially for releases prior to the Xperia 1.
I have been developing this script for a long time for my own personal use, but I noticed that there are many people on the internet asking how to convert the Japanese version to the global version. This inspired me to create the Xperia All In One Debloat (XAIOD) tool, which allows users to easily remove bloatware with a single click. This tool is made with love for the Sony and XDA communities.

Feature-All in one EXE
No need to download ADB separately. Simply download and run XAIOD.exe anywhere, with its own built-in ADB (note: Xperia driver may need to be installed manually for some devices).
-Simple as click and wait
While advanced users can use the manual mode to select specific settings, this software is designed for simplicity. Just click and select what you want to remove, from vendor/operator apps only to full bloatware and dead/Japan-specific software, with just two clicks. Wait for the process to complete (note: depending on your PC hardware and phone vendor, it may take a long time, but it is easily cancelable with the escape key if it gets stuck).
-Almost foolproof
There is almost no way to break your phone with this software. It has triple fool protection (no joke - I really don't want to be blamed if someone uses this in a very stupid way) and has been tested on two real Xperia devices (Xperia XZs and XZ1 with Android 8 and 9) to the extreme, with no harm done to either device. However, someone may eventually find a way to use this in the most "unhuman" way possible, so please use with caution.(For the average user, this is 99.99% harmless, even if unplugged/rebooted during the process.)
-Completely offline
For those who may be wondering or concerned, this software works fully offline. There is no need to enable a firewall or make any changes to your antivirus software. If you prefer, you can simply disconnect from the internet and the software will continue to function like a charm (With the exception of external links like xpricheck.com, which I have included for reference, because let's face it, even I can't write out the entire database of Sony smartphone information that this software is indexing. But don't worry, it won't affect anything on your end. Unless, of course, you're dying to know what SOV35 or S0-5k stands for. In that case, just double click on any of the devices under Supported Models menu)
-Provided by me, maintained by us
This software could have been made in just two days, but I am taking it one step further by adding all future features now for easy updates. While it took longer to create, it will be easy to update and I am now finished with my work. It is now up to the community to provide me with app lists. So, while the native device list is currently small, the compatible list and community list will grow over time, thanks to you - those who help test by using it, adding more devices by giving/donating your vendor app names, and confirming whether things work or not by commenting.

Plug your phone into your PC with a data cable (no more than 1 device)
Run the software.
Wait until the software recognizes the device. If the software is not detecting anything, check your phone and allow USB debugging on this PC.
Check if your device's status is native/compatible or not supported.
If native/compatible, hit auto mode and select the apps you want to debloat (more info below).
There will be a progress bar in the middle of the screen. Wait and please do not touch your phone or computer (finishing the process may take longer than other steps, so please be patient).
After it finishes, you will be sent back to the main menu. At this point, all is done.
DEVICES LISTNative: App list is created and tested with real devices
Compatible: No app list yet, but similar lists from other native phones can be used
Not Supported: This device is detected as Sony, but there is no app list that can be used with it (auto mode not available, use Manual with caution)
Not recognizable: ADB debugging may not be enabled or the device you have plugged in is not a Sony or has been modified. Features are disabled to prevent harm to your device.
Native Models:
AU: SOV36, SOV39, SOV40
Docomo: SO-03J

Compatible Models:
AU: SOV35, SOV34, SOV33, SOV37, SOV38
Docomo: SO-02J, SO-04J, SO-01J, SO-04H, SO-02K, SO-05K, SO-03K, SO-04K, SO-01L

Differences between modes in Auto.Operator only:
This will only remove specific apps from specific vendors (Docomo/AU/Softbank) without removing other bloatware.
Operator + third party:
This will do the same as operator only, plus removing generic bloatware (Facebook, antivirus, etc.).
Third party only:
This will only remove generic bloatware without removing vendor apps.
Full Debloat:
This will remove all bloatware, both vendor and generic, and remove all Japanese-specific apps or Sony dead services.
How to Help this software grow:There are three ways in which you can help this software grow:
The easiest and most effortless way is by upvoting, sharing, liking, or following me on XDA, YouTube, or Instagram. One single like already makes my day!
Using an APK analyzer is another way to help. With this app, you can see package names, which are the most important thing in this software. To do this, download the app, take a screenshot of all the app list on your phone (cropping, removing, or painting over any private apps if you wish), and send it to me (don't forget to include your phone variant, model, and operator).
If you are an advanced user, simply comment with your whole phone's package names that you have dumped with ADB shell.
if you play roblox. i do open donation inside "donate me". and maybe consider pay to add custom feature? or new custom Easter egg?. or if you that damn rich. why dont buy full source code XD
Any help counts, and for the first user who provides package names, their username will be written next to the device model in the Supported model menu.

"Compatible: No app list yet" means that a list of all apps could be possible and then uninstall whatever we want ?

If you mean selecting something specific or similar, then no, it's not possible yet. However, if you mean uninstall using other similar model then yes. it all app that same as list get uninstall(but not whatever you want though), I am currently working to allow external list / custom list that can be made by anyone for anyone at anytime. whoever due to busy with other thing,due to being busy with other things, the development of this feature has slowed down. Nevertheless, I am already working on it. for now as long it sony,(and not softbank as I don't own it and cannot find a trusted app list for that model) you could try remove it manually via manual mode. it not perfect as same app but on newer phone change slightly the naming. but probaly remove at least 70% of the bloatware, as the hidden one normaly doesn't change the name On the other hand, if you are using SoftBank, unless you send me the app list for SoftBank, there is no list available at all.
