I discovered this problem earlier today after several days of testing. I had originally thought that the problem was with CM10.1 ROMs, but it now appears to be a Nova Launcher limitation (unrelated to ROMs).
I have been using Nova Launcher ever since it first appeared on the scene. It’s a great launcher and, regardless of the problem in question, I will continue to use it.
As many of you already know, Nova not only allows you to place shortcuts on your home screen(s), you can also create folders with shortcuts contained therein. App shortcuts are easy (using the drag-and-drop method); however, if you want file shortcuts, you need an appropriate file manager, such as Solid Explorer (my favourite), ASTRO File Manager, ES File Explorer, or Root Explorer, etc.
I have five home screens containing numerous app shortcuts, as well as quite a number of folders that contain both app shortcuts and many file shortcuts.
After more tests than I care to admit, I have been able to determine that Nova has a limitation on the total number of FILE shortcuts (not app shortcuts) that you can have on your home screen(s). For me, this limitation is 61 file shortcuts. If I have more than 61, and I then attempt to up-date my ROM (currently using CM10.1 Nightlies), Nova force closes the moment you reboot to your home screen. Nova boots properly after a ROM up-date if there are 61 or less file shortcuts.
Exception: If you never up-date your ROM, you CAN have as many file shortcuts as you want; however, the limitation takes effect the moment you up-date your ROM.
Caveat: Even if you ultimately bypass Nova Launcher, remove it from your device, re-install it, and then attempt to restore the shortcuts via your novabackup file, it won’t work.
To repeat, this limitation applies ONLY to FILE shortcuts. There does not appear to be any limitation to APP shortcuts. For example, I reduced my file shortcuts to 61 (allowed), and added another 20 app shortcuts to a sixth home screen (just as a test). There was no problem after up-dating the ROM. All file shortcuts were there, as well as the additional 20 app shortcuts.
While the 61 limitation applies to me, I’m not saying that it couldn’t be a different number for other users. I’m simply stating that other users should be aware of a potential limitation.

Jesus. Who would want so many shortcuts? Half of those I bet you barely use.
I suggest you emailing nova launcher with your beef.
I use nova launcher and it rocks.

I absolutely agree. Nova is the very best. However, I need the shortcuts. It makes my daily work life much easier to quickly access files when I'm with clients. And, yes, I do access about 80+% of them on a daily/weekly basis.
I've come up with a solution, though, using Solid Explorer (my favourite). It isn't exactly what I wanted, but it's almost as good.

I doubt this problem should be adressed to XDA, the limitation is app related, the dev has to know
I would also suggest you moving all your files to a folder you create, then shortcut that folder instead of each individual file
Damn that is ALOT of file shortcuts!

Thank you for your comments. I have already sent a note to the app developers. I was simply posting it on xda to let others know, as I first discovered the app via xda a couple of years ago.
On your second suggestion, I have already done that. Thanks, though.

I think it is cool when people use their smartphones in ways most don't think of...especially for their business.
Interesting find.:good:
This is on a rooted Verizon S5 SM-G900V with Alliance ROM 4.4.2. Is there any way to invert the background and text without inverting images? Especially in Chrome, but it would be nice for the whole phone. White lettering on a black background is much easier to read.
I'm seeing screenshots online of Alliance that are nice and dark (I think it's called Black Glass?), including the phone dialer. How do I get the whole android theme dark.
Same thing with other apps. There's a few local TV news apps that have a bright white background that I wish I could customize to a dark theme. The Samsung Music Player is bright white as well. Anyway to make these dark in Alliance?
The problem I've noticed with third-party dialer apps is that they let you type the phone number, but when you hit the phone button to place the call, it opens up the Android dialer with the bright white background. Right back to square zero. Basically, I'm just trying to figure out how to get that nice black look like I'm seeing on some of the alliance ROM screenshots.
Thanks.

The app on 4.4 you needed to theme was called InCall.apk there is an app on 5.0 call LegacyInCallUI.apk so would amuse that its this one but if you are running a custom rom then it may have the original InCall app, if you look is System\app or System\Priv-app folder (most likely the priv-app folder teh one you need will be in there.
Problem at the moment is that apktool has a problem with Samsung apk's and compiling them, its not so much apk tool as more likely something Samsung have added in their security to prevent apktool working as it should, so you can decompile apps fine if the app does compile then you can use the .png files, xml files but the resources arsc most likely will cause the app to crash. Also they have use .pkm files which you can't see like you can with .png files so you need specific software to look at them, again Samsung trying to prevent theming of stock apps.
Hmmm. Well, that's all a bit over my head. So, is there not an easy way to install an app or change a setting somewhere? I'm not sure what to actually to click on with all those files you mentioned. I find searching for files in Android to be confusing and nothing like a Windows PC with the usual file directory locations. Like, WHERE is the C:\ drive on the phone?

The apps are in the system folder called
system\app
system\priv-app
system\framework
But if you have never done theming before then don't even try you would need to start with simple things and learn what to do and what not to do.
Can't help with the app question as I have no idea, maybe there is something that someone else can answer that for you.
I am looking at theming these form myself but I don't have the time at the moment, I don't share them any more though as there are far too many ungrateful people around these days.
The stock ROMs are shipped with a huge amount of bloatware, from which I see many processes active when opening a task manager. Let's freeze/disable or uninstall crap we don't need You can disable many apps without root from Android's app manager, but you'll need root for many of them. Root is mandatory to uninstall system apps.
You can use this spreadsheet (of moly82) on the new tab named jelbo. I'm collaborating with moly82's generic Xperia Lollipop debloating script. Turns out the Z4 Tablet does have quite some things moved around / added / removed, so it's definitely good to have added support for it. New sheet contains both generic Xperia stuff and Z4 Tablet specific apps. The jelbo tab contains both my findings and the ones from moly82.
In the spreadsheet is a list of all the pre-installed unneeded system apps either I or moly82 has 'frozen' or disabled, without any problems. I've marked some yellow because you might need the functionality, for example DLNA or native Exchange support. It's not finished yet, but you can go ahead and use it as a base of your decisions to freeze/uninstall stuff.
You can debloat manually with apps like Titanium Backup. Here's a procedure to make a label, associate apps to it and batch freeze or uninstall them.
Get Titanium Backup and start it. You probably need Pro.
Go to the tab named Backup/Restore.
Tap 'Click to edit filters' in the top right.
Tap 'Clear' in the top right.
Tap 'Create label ...' in the bottom right.
Type a name, give a color (optional) and tap 'Add/Remove elements ...'
Check the boxes of apps you wish to free or uninstall (based on the spreadsheet for example).
Tap the green checkmark on the top right.
Tap 'Save'.
Back in th Filters section, make sure no filter is active (tap 'Clear'), select the newly created label (check the box) and tap the green checkmark.
Titanium Backup will display a list of the apps you've labeled.
Tap the 'file and checkmark' icon top right to get to the 'Batch actions' screen.
Scroll to 'Freeze / Defrost' and tap the RUN button next to 'Freeze all user & system apps (USE FILTERS & EXTREME CAUTION)'.
Profit.
For anyone wanting to collaborate, send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll give you edit-rights.
Eventually, when this thing is 'done' I plan to either expand moly82's script or at least share my Titanium Backup 'custom' database with the labeled categories, for easy batch actions.

Have you tried this one @jelbo? I use it for my Z3 compact and Z3 compact tab and it works well. It can be tweaked to leave some items in too.

Yeah, I thought of that script a bit late. I'll have a look at the linked Google Sheet to get more insight in the Sony apps. I figure the Z4 Tablet is a bit of a different beast that might need a different set of safely frozen system apps so my sheet isn't a big waste of time. Took me a few hours though...

TB is as tedious and gruesome as ever, but it's sadly still the only app in it's kind. Wish the dev would add some much needed features and overhaul the GUI.

Its looks as though it took some time, so thanks and not wasted. I was hoping there was a way of selecting the key sony features from the script rather than doing it manually, or have config files to load into an app to remove the files selcted in the config files, but never found the time to investigate further.
Yeh, those are the reasons I haven't used it for some time and its a shame as its powerful but not intuitive for me when using it.
I thought the other script actually delted rather than being frozen, but I do recall it recreates a backup folder for the files in case you want to put them back later.
Believe you can delete the backups once you are happy that the changes you made are working.

Yes, moly82's script moves files to a backup location, making them non-functional but easily restoreable.
I'm not sure still what freezing effectively does, because I once saw some frozen apps in my task manager (OS Monitor). Better to uninstall/move when sure.
Nice!
I personally used the System app remover from playstore and just deleted all the useless stuff and then did a factory reset to get rid of all the *app not found* icons and flashed the smallest package from opengapps but when i reflash the stock FW in the future im sure going to give this a go

Some slight suspect reviews about this app on the play store.
A similar thing can be done with Sdmaid, which is my go to app for for everyday cleaning and more specific app removal.
Been using it a while and it works well, as an option.

Think I'll stick with sdmaid but thx for the suggestion.
Take a look at the sdmaid v4 beta apk available from the devs website.
Looks great and seems to work the same.
Pity v4 sdmaid can't take your file as input Jelbo to remove a batch of files.

don't understand the need of making another script/list when there is mine and you saw it more then 10 days ago when you posted in my thread in general Xperia section (that can be contributed and kept updated by anyone) that works for all xperias oob or can be adapted very easily but no problem of course thats your choice.
my list is 100% safe though, me and other hundred people running lp on different xperias use(s/d) it without problems (just some features may be missing after applying my script of course but anything can be restored easily) and btw all xperias have almost identical apks just the names may be a little different somewhere that's all..
Never used tb but for sure it is completely different from my approach of completely moving away/deleting stuff, a freeze should be just based on pm unix command or similar that doesn't really touch anything, just disables stuff
cheers

I had a quick look at your script back then and saw some differences in apps that I didn't see on my device, that made me think the Z4 Tablet needed it's own approach I guess. Looking back I realise it's pretty much identical and it would have been better with just starting with your work. Ah well. Maybe we can merge our findings somehow? If a file isn't found on the Z4 Tablet it'll just be skipped. I'll PM you my e-mail address so you can add me as a contributor to your sheet. I think it's a good idea to discuss about a good format for both devices beforehand so I won't mess things up.
No problem mate, saw the PM and I've just given you the write access feel free to edit it or make your own as you wish and yes if a package is not found it'll just be skipped so not a problem at all
In my list a few apks i found about recently are missing will update it as soon as i have some spare time available..
Bye!

Hi moly82, I'm done with merging my data in your sheet. It's in the 2nd tab named jelbo. What a job, it took me half a day
I've kept your split view (with the grey row) and ordering by path.
I've added missing paths, paths including .apk file and 'friendly names'
█ I've marked entries which I found on the Z4 Tablet, but not on your list as Cyan (left column)
█ I've marked entries which were on your list, but not on the Z4 Tablet as Yellow (left column)
█ I've marked the background of the Friendly Name of entries which were found safe to debloat/feeze/move by either you or me Green
█ I've marked the background and the text of the Friendly Name of entries which I think are surely not safe to debloat/feeze/move Red
█ I've marked the background of the Friendly Name of entries which I think are probably not safe to debloat/feeze/move Pink
█ I've marked the background of the Friendly Name of entries which are probably safe to debloat/feeze/move, but which most people want to keep due to connected basic functionality (phone, camera) as Yellow
On to what can be done:
Your 'Added in LP5.1' entries are moved in between existing entries, while maintaning your Orange color. I guess they can be debloated and made Green?
If it is meaningful, can you add the missing info on the stuff you've come across on other Xperia devices?
Can you have a look at 'unclassified' entries and share your thoughts in the comment field on how safe you think they are to debloat?
Can you update your script with my findings? I'm still testing some 'unclassified' entries to see if it works fine or not.

hi mate, what a good job you did congrats!
honestly I won't have so much spare time available from now on, big changes in my life expected, so can't assure will be able to watch this in the future, if you want to handover and become a debloating guru it would be great :laugh:
I have added at the bottom of my tab some packages I did not include in the script I shared at the beginning, but I added in my local copy, so you can see info about those apks also, it could be helpful
what you mean with unclassified entries exactly? there are too many categories, colours, empty spaces etc not so clear for me
if you want to make a global script, please proceed, no problem for me! don't know if you did look at the script I made already, but if not, I am sure you will understand very easily how I prepared it just working on the com/google/android/updater-script file, so you can use it as base and then add/remove any apps you want from there, or make your own script or whatever, as you wish.
I will keep monitoring the file and your tab also though, hoping to see some new findings I didn't know about, as I'm sure there are still some packages that could be removed but I didn't try myself yet...

Thanks for taking the time to do this Jelbo, it will be very useful! I couldn't believe the amount of background processes, etc, that were going on either when I have looked into a task manager, for stuff that I have never used and probably never will and has no business eating up RAM when I'm not looking! Not only that, even if you stop whatever is running it just starts up again anyway so the only way is to get it off the device or freeze it.
Keep up the good work mate!

Thanks. Yeah it's pretty crazy how much stuff there is and how much more free RAM you have after debloating. By the way, check out the new sheet link in the OP, old one is dead.
