Rooted Xperia Z3 Compact 5.1.1 ROM with Xposed installed and Bloatware removed

We’re huge fans of pre-rooted custom ROMs which are completely stock except for the root part, and ROMs which come even de-bloated are even better. But what if you add a working Xposed installation too, which is a pain to install on 5.1.1 ROMs, well, perfect is the word.

Removing pre-installed apps (bloatware) and getting advanced features with Xposed are the most common things root users do on their Android devices nowadays. We personally feel more comfortable with Stock ROMs with nothing but root and Xposed, and we know a number of you people also feel the same way.

If you happen to own a Xperia Z3 Compact (D5803), then developer moly82 has you covered with a pre-rooted custom ROM that is both DeBloated and has Xposed installed. The ROM is based on the most recent Android 5.1.1 23.4.A.0.546 firmware for the device. Check out the full feature list of the ROM below:

  • – LP 5.1.1 23.4.A.0.546 FW customized CH with good spaced LTE icon
  • pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.46 and Dual Recovery 2.8.21
  • 100% stock Odexed
  • Heavily debloated with my own original big list
  • All google apps and sony apps that I kept, already updated to latest version in /system replacing the old ones provided in the FW
    └ (Play Store, Play Services, Web View Google, Album, Music, AR Effect, Background Defocus, Infoeye so no notifications about new updates and silent background automatic updates for Playstore/Services at least for now [emoji14] )
  • AOSP browser replacing Chrome + sync adapter for syncing your Chrome desktop bookmarks
  • Google Keyboard replacing Sony’s
  • Nova Launcher replacing Sony’s
  • ES File Manager replacing stock one
  • Z4 bootanimation
  • xposed flashable for 5.1.1
  • xposed APK alpha4
  • Gravity Box moduleBlurred System UI module
  • Latest Google Play Games
  • DPI changed to 260 for better screen experience
  • external sdcard writing fix

This ROM works fine for both bootloader locked and unlocked devices, and since it’s close to stock Sony ROM, it’s not going to mess with your device’ DRM/keys either.

Grab the ROM’s .zip file from the download link below and flash it via a custom recovery of your choice with a factory reset. For help, follow the link below for instructions on how to flash a custom ROM using TWRP recovery.

  1. Root system look like reead-only. Like AdAway couldn’t make a hostfile in /system/etc/hosts. I accepted SU access for AdAway. FX File explorer with Root add-on couldn’t also read-write to the root. Also SU access accepted for this program. In 5.0.2 never had a problem with root access. Can this problem solved?

  3. Cannot do anything with this ROM: the touch screen does not respond – no touch screen function at all!
