I've just performed a factory reset. All of my photos/apps are gone. Here's what I've done.

Settings > Backup Options > Backup and reset > Factory data reset. > Reset device > Erase everything.

The Android folder will be recreated but it's pretty much empty.

itchy itchy was coming .

and thanks for recommended Omni Rom yo (helped friend flash... and is very gooding...)

With Omega rom, I was using 3minit. NOw I switch to wanam lite but the 3 minit folder is still there. I can delete 3minit folder and others via pc with usb connection, but android folder can't delete.

Then I tried CrashRom, also did a full wipe, the folder is still there. Factory reset, still there. Crash rom also uses wanam xposed, my problem is I cannot get the battery icon to appear. Both stock or circle... I had it once on Wanam Lite, but that's it... I prefer Crash rom cos it comes with a bit more function that Wanam. Wanam lite is very very lite... nothing much inside.

u made my day bro...
u flashed Omega→wanam→crash....

Any Xperia Launcher apk? lol

can i say,

use power of Google ?

why is the mediaserver draining so much of my battery? what is it and how can i stop it?

Can't get the result I need, maybe try KingCobra tonight. Back to square one.

this ? but its in zip file, so you have to flash it

Xperia Z1

I can centralize the clock, move it to left or right. Hide AM/PM, change color, etc... all except Battery icon... neither stock icon or circle, both just don't show.

Have you checked inside the android folder after factory reset? There's nothing much in there. Only some compulsory files like gallery, youtube, browser. It is a normal behaviour after a reset.

if you're listening to music, then thats normal. try this ;

XDA

it might work or it might not work.

Finally, managed to wipe everything... by doing triple wipe. I wipe, and wipe for the second time, then a third time... then I install and check, no more previous apps data. Now to try this new rom first.

now thats a new thing for me

first wipe usually do the job for me thou

no problem

me too... was very frustrated so like want to kill it balas dendam.. so wipe many times. Something wrong with my phone...

chill bro at least you got it working now

such a simple thing but took whole day... some days are just good for sleeping

Nvm, bought Note 3 instead. Price of I9505 is few hundred less.
