Sony Xperia Tablet Z shows (almost) all packages as unlisted #603

Open EluWriter opened 1 year ago

EluWriter commented 1 year ago

UAD version - 0.5.1 Device - Sony Xperia Tablet Z, model SGP321 Android version - 5.1.1

USB drivers installed from Sony, device is recognized by adb.

Describe the bug Shows up in UAD as Sony SGP321, shows all packages as unlisted, does not provide descriptions. The only exception is com.sonyericsson.android.addoncamera.artfilter which is under Advanced, category oem.

Expected behavior Showing packages under their proper categories.

You have a solution? Spending quite a bit of time finding out what each package does, provide descriptions and sort them accordingly. I believe a lot of them provide the same functions newer android packages do. For example, com.android.chrome, as I found out, is Google Chrome.

You may as well install LineageOS to get it more updated, https://lineageosroms.com/pollux/

Uhh, this is not the real website! See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lineageosrom-com.3535772/. Always go to https://lineageos.org/.

I wouldn't mind, but the prospect of rooting an android puts me a bit on the edge. Or maybe I don't need root, but either way, I can't really make sense of how exactly to install it. I like clear and precise instructions, step by step, but it's not what I'm getting. Maybe other people can follow it no problem, but my brain just doesn't work like that. The furthest I've gone is unlocked the bootloader because that was simple enough. But then there are recoveries which require root (I think) and some other stuff.

I'm not bad at computers and whatnot, but this all is a bit overwhelming. And when I'm overwhelmed, it's hard to think, let alone make sense of the instructions, so I get confused in the end.

And I'm not even sure if it's worth doing in the first place because the tablet is almost exclusively for reading and watching videos. I don't want to slow it down or to consume more battery, considering how old it is.

You don't need root to install a custom ROM. Anyway, that's offtopic here I guess.
