If your phone is rooted you can freeze, rename or remove the unwanted apps.
Thank you, I will work on freezing them.

Hi there.
I have a Xperia Play with .042 firmware (stock ROM), and only rooted (locked bootloader).
My phone works well, but sometimes feels a bit laggy. I've noticed in the Running Apps list that a lot of times Google Maps turns on even if I didnt open it, and it causes me a lot of that lag, so I have to close it and then the Xplay works well again.
So, my question is, can I uninstall Google Maps and then reinstall it from the Play Store as a non-system app? This should stop thet the app opens itself on its own...
What problems can cause uninstalling Google Maps?
I don't think making it a non system app will stop it from running in the back. I just uninstalled it altogether

It's just Google spying on you. No need to worry.
If you are not sure just freeze it with titanium backup or system tuner pro or something. Nothing will happen if you uninstall it tho.

Use an app called Autostarts to control which apps start automatically and when. No need to uninstall or freeze anything. Its like msconfig/startup manager for android. Its a root app so it gets the job done properly, meaning it stops apps from starting in the first place, not one of those useless apps which kills them after they start.

Good idea. I've frozen it and for now my Xplay goes perfect.

I'd like to piggy back on this post with a more specific question: Which Amazon apps can I remove without hurting how the Kindle runs?
I have Kinology 1.1 loaded, and am using Nova Launcher, can I remove the Kindle Home and not make the device act wonky?

Is it better to just disable system apps or fully delete them ?

There is ABSOLUTELY zero reason to touch any apps in /system, period. Ever. If you do, it will break OTAs, if you delete the wrong thing you'll have to reflash the ROM to recover, etc.
Settings-Apps->All, look for the ones you want to disable, do it there. If you can't disable them there, use pm disable com.app.name. If somehow you disable something critical, you can always factory reset to go back to normal.
If you touch /system, factory reset won't un-break what you did.
I use System app remover (ROOT) to delete system apps.
I always delete apps I dont use and want by deleting them from /system/app and /system/priv-app and I never had any problem or issue with it.
Also, currently, I use CloudyStock so I dont worry about OTA incompatibility.
More better is to disable or freeze unused apps. Why to delete? If you delete any essentially app from system your phone can be damaged.

Yes i think same maybe is better just disable apps. They will not work and that is it. Maybe phone when we delete some app trying to find that app and just cause problems. With disable is more secure..
I always delete what I don't want from my phone rather than simply disabling the apps. Of course, I've been tinkering with my phones for years, so I know what I'm doing. I also don't take OTA updates, so ruining the ability to do so is not a concern for me.

Why yes, deleting stuff like Chrome, Google+, Maps or any other app that can be downloaded from the Play Store will certainly damage the phone.

Select one by one. That or see if you froze a system app. Why would you freeze a bunch of apps unknowingly what they do?
Thanks for response.
I just went through and froze a ton of apps that didn't sound important.
Not greatest plan but worked out besides this. I did manage to freeze about 150 apps and now I run at about 800mbs of ram used.

Good God! You may want to read up on the TB app to know what and what not to freeze....i can see why some of your device isn't working correctly....lol
haha!
I figured it out. It was the greenify experimental xposed app.
Thanks for the responses
How to Stop System ads? it's Keep showing every time & i want to stop it without rooting system ?
This isn't normal behaviour. You've installed a dodgy app.
This phone does not come with any system adds, you've accidentally installed some spyware. If you can think of a game or an app you downloaded recently uninstall it, otherwise start uninstalling everything or just downright wipe the entire phone

This looks like a typical interstitial ad I get with within some (free) apps, are you saying you get this outside of any apps?
