I mean, Amazon MP3 is just a "google app" like the others. You never asked for the Market, but Google put it in so that you could download other apps. Same of Gmail, Browser, Email, Maps, News & meteo... you may or may not use them, but they are there. You can always adb remount and delete the apps you don't want.
I don't see the problem Amazon mp3 if u don't like don't use but I do think it comes stock on all android phones
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yeah, pretty sure it isn't crapware. It comes stock with Android doesn't it? You get an app store and a music store.
The funny thing is that carriers usually like to add their own select choice of bloatware to devices, but on my Nexus One, vodafone actually removed the Amazon mp3 bloat!
The European Union is really strict with anti-competitive behaviour, (hence the Windows 'Browser Ballot' screen), so i guess this is the reason why.
OWhatever opinions you have about Amazon MP3, whether bloatware or core gapps, the android os is forever preloading it into memory.
I suppose it's not a big deal, memory management on android is different than windows, but for me... I label all the sys apps I don't care for and every time I install a nightly, I just run titanium backup at first boot and remove all the labeled sys apps.
I originally rooted my phone just to get rid of the bloatware I didn't want on there.
Eventually I went to CM as the update messages were annoying and I couldn't update with all the missing stock stuff.
Now I'm clean and no messages.
I was wondering the same thing. I don't mind the Amazon MP3 app, but I noticed in videos of the NS it appeared the Twitter app weren't included on that phone. I was hoping maybe Google reconsidered the junk they considered standard.
i guess it would be nice for them to let us remove it without root, but i really like the amazon mp3 store being on my phone. i loathe itunes, so i only have the amazon store to buy my music. without it i would be teh suck. so i actually like having the mp3 store on stock android phones.
Well Google uses Amazon as there 'itunes' music store. I assume that Amazon will remain in there until Google setups their own.
I admit that I was annoyed by it too. Although using Root Manager (with Root access) is easy enough to delete. Custom roms usually don't include it either, which was my first choice.
Rumor has it that on Wednesday, along with the in-depth look at Honeycomb, Google will announce Google Music. So maybe they won't include AmazonMP3 when ever they roll out Gingerbread.

Amazon MP3 had an update in the last few months that only put it in memory if the user started the app.. you're saying it still memory resident even though you don't use it?
Does the Nexus S have the Amazon MP3 app?
Use Titanium Backup to freeze it, problem solved
As mentioned above, your options are:
a) "Freeze" it in Titanium Backup to stop it appearing in stock launcher.
b) If using LauncherPro, use the option to hide unwanted apps
c) Use Titanium Backup to uninstall the app
d) Delete the apk from /system/app/ via an adb shell.
e) Have a cup of concrete and harden up.
Not a big deal.
If you're like me and wanna keep using stock android, just use Titanium to freeze it.
Next update comes up, unfreeze it and update, then re-freeze it.
I did the same with TALKBACK, GOOGLE VOICE (not available in Canada) and NEWS AND WEATHER

No, this is NOT the Xposed "Fix Memory Leak" install that fixes nothing, because Sony already patched that in to their 5.0.2 release. If you have it installed now, you can uninstall it because it is literally doing nothing but taking up free space on your device; and is another hook you don't need in your install process. That also requires root to be installed, and this is a no-root situation
After a week of battling with XZDR and [NUT] starting to hate me, I decided to just bite the bullet, and FTF flash the stock, unrooted firmware, and see what it was like without root and if I could live. Most of the apps, not all of them though, can be disabled completely from within Android app manager, so things like TiBu are not really needed. I don't use Facebook or Twitter apps so having the "Xperia for Facebook" apps, which can't be frozen/disabled, was a pain in the ass, but they don't have any login information so everything's safe there.
I was very unimpressed with the way certain apps loaded. As an example, using Disa for my messaging solution was great, but SwiftKey was being a jerk. I'd press on the text input field and the keyboard would show up and then disappear right away. It would sometimes take up to 3 minutes of constant press *hides* press *hides* press *hides* just to be able to type a "K" message to someone. Not happy. Then, I'd load up Clash of Clans, do what I needed to do, then close it, then load up Family Guy, and it would crash because CoC was in the background. I'd have to completely reboot my phone in order to go from one game to the other. Very unhappy.
I found the app "Android System WebView", and not knowing what it was, tried to disable it. I uninstalled updates and disabled the system package, but it wouldn't let me disable it, only remove and replace with stock, and I thought that that was good enough. Rebooted my phone, and blamo.. phone performance increased by at least 3 orders of magnitude!
I've yet to have the SwiftKey hiding issue, and as I typed this, I finished the gold mine upgrade and went to see if Peter was doing Shipoopiing, and all was well.
Great thing is, if this doesn't fix your issue - you can update it right back to normal from Google Play.

For me? i don't find any issues with the memory management by Lollipop as of today (from the first release). In fact, my phone runs faster and smoother compared to KK. Battery is so good that i don't need to recharge at night after the whole day usage. I use also the google keyboard (the VERY first version) which i dont find any problems at all. I just make my phone as simple as possible. No root done and i just disable some bloatwares and un-installing some gapps. I also ask myself, what's the use of Android System Webview? i do some couple of search and i found that, it does not affect the performance of my phone, so i just keep it update.

Hi Bro,
Wrong thread. please direct you're question to Samsung Thread. maybe they can helped you in there. This is a Sony Xperia Z1 thread. But since you're here, Try to factory reset your phone or wipe dalvik and cache.

Use the built-in Android uninstaller - don't use TiBu if you're rooted or completely uninstall it. Android interface won't let you uninstall it entirely, just remove the updates and return it to stock factory settings.
It's currently working perfect for me - no issues or slowdowns or crashes all day today. I've used Chrome, the key program that this app is designed for, and it still works fine, along with a few other select programs that utilize it. All is well.
I don't know about stability issues if you're rooted and you completely uninstall it - so proceed at your own risk..

As interesting as this solution seems, I think I found why you don't have an issue I used to have a lot of launcher redraws and slow downs every now and then. So I froze a bunch of apps using ROM Toolbox and boom, no more redraws or slow downs. Worked like a charm. I think freezing or uninstalling bloat was the reason your memory issue was fixed. Cause I didn't uninstall the web view or make any changes with regard to it.
Uninstall or freeze bloat, and it should fix it immediately
ROM Toolbox requires root.
Freezing and Uninstalling bloat also requires root.
My fix doesn't require root.
It dosnt fix it ? % but atleast better, i saw an article before mentioning that android webview cause lag problems idr where
I will test that! I also suspected that component to be a memory hog... Thanks for sharing, I will test and see what happens!
Security issue
Please be aware that you are opening yourself up to security issues by uninstalling these updates. This webview component is the part of Android used for displaying webpages inside of other apps. Since it is a full HTML renderer, it is susceptible to the same security issues that regularly get fixed in your Chrome installation. But previously, (pre-lollipop) this component was part of your ROM and could only be updated by firmware updates. Since lollipop, Google separated this component into an updateable Android package. I sincerely wonder if your ¨fix¨ was due to the uninstallation of these updates. You have, however, already missed 4 security updates.
Proceed with caution...

"...because Sony already patched that in to their 5.0.2 release." <- I reported that already.
About the WebView. If you think that WebView is responsible for your device not working properly then you definitely don't know what WebView is and when it's even being used. You don't just go and disable any system app you don't recognize. Those advices are worthless.
All you need is a stable ROM. I'm using my own custom ROM, have the latest Play services, Play Store and WebView embedded into the ROM. The ROM works perfectly and normaly has 700-800 free RAM.

Your attitude towards root does not make a lot of sense: your system apps have root regardless of rooting status. Your android runs as root without asking for permission. So, your phone IS rooted by default. The only one who does not have root access is you. Having root for you means having an app that alerts you and asks for your permission when there is a request for root by other apps. That prevents malicious script execution. Let me give you an example: your web browser sits in system partition which has automatic root access. Suppose, you visit a site thay silently executes a java script and takes over your browser. Now, it has root permission without any notice to you: it can download anything to your system and take over your phone. And there is nothing you can do to stop this unless you have root. Also, think about oem and google updates: they all can run silently, unless you have root.
So, in short, having no root equals no security at all...

As few peoples pointed out, by NOT installing Android System WebView update, your phone might have some security risk.
I would really not recommend using this "FIX" , My Z1 doesn't have this sort of problem anyway.
Webview IS security risk, because it is an html renderer with web connection abilities. There is no legitimate reason for a user to have this app, which purpose is to provide an advertising vehicle for corrupt developers (I call corrupt those devs who use ads in their "free" apps). It is better to just uninstall this app than constantly update it where updates are always behind bugs, malware and other security vulnerabilities. Only your web browser, e-mail client and internet messaging apps should be allowed to connect to the internet for security reasons and battery/performance sake. So, while I don't agree with OP's attitude towards root, I support him when he gets rid of another bloat/malware/security risk...
As far as deleting the app, if your rom does not provide for system app removal, just use a file manager (root required) and erase the app from the system...
For anyone who cares:
Webview is part of android. Not updating it is a bad idea as others have stated. There was an update about two weeks ago that had some bugs and was eating battery and causing some apps to crash. Google fixed it quickly and the current one in the play store is fine again. No battery drain and plays nice with all apps.
It's funny that if Google didn't release a buggy update, nobody would have even known or cared it was there. They would have just updated it.
As others have stated it was always there, only now they are updating it regularly through the play store instead of having to wait for an OTA. If you don't update it, that's fine, it is your choice.
It should be updated considering there are security and performance fixes in the updates. Giving others erroneous information and telling them to remove it completely when you don't even know what it is, is not a good idea.
A simple Google search when the buggy update dropped would have revealed that it was just that, a buggy update. Solution was, uninstall just the update UNTIL Google released a fixed one. Personally I have noticed better battery since the newest update.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
No matter the solution, this new Lollipop release is really bug when it comes to memory management. I can't listen to a podcast without the app being killed ten times an hour... It never happened to me before. My smartwatch is constantly disconnected because the Wear app is killed every time I receive a message and so on (while there are still at least 400 MB free in memory).

I´m sorry, this really is just bad advise: you are breaking apps (legitimate apps, not the adviews you refer to) by removing this app. Again: this is not an app, it is a system component that Google made updateable via the play store. It is not meant to be removed without breaking apps.

Name one app (that is no malware/bug/ad) broken because one removes webview...
Just because an app sits in the system does not make it a legitimate one. Any app, if it wants to display an internet page, can use stock browser. There is simply no reason to have an extra layer (webview) that exposes you to security risks. This is, by the way, what Google does: to make sure that your device is wide open to commercial/spying interests. But luckily, because of open source, one can remove most of this garbage...
I would like to bring attention to every owner with the US version to this thread:
I would strongly recommend to check this video with two ROM available.
Most importantly these ROMs are eliminating the bloatware software from the original one.
Even with the first update the phone is living up to your expectation.

The malware gmail app started after one week it's usual auto-install stuff. So switched to CUOCO92-5.5.014S Rom
Yes but does this rom contain the malware issues the stock ones have? Reports on the web suggest that it does.
I am using the first update for more than a week without having any issues. (The second one was not detecting my SIM and endlessly searched for it, so I reverted it back to the first one).
I am using TrustGo and Anti Adaware still the previous annoying auto-installed software bloatware did not show up
I bought a US/EU spec Le 1 Pro from Efox-shop a couple of weeks ago and it came with malware and dodgy Google apps installed. I had to Root to remove them so I'd be wary of any Efox roms.

Can I ask did you remove all Google apps including Google store ? I removed all except the Google store. I understood the malware was in a hacked YouTube app, are you aware of any other issues with the installed software, eg apart from Google apps.
Thanks in advance.
I removed all the pre installed Google apps except for the Play Store, the pre installed Calculator app (which was requesting network access), File Manager, Ant Keyboard (which was being flagged as malware) and the stock messaging app. I'll probably remove the stock dialer, contacts and email apps too and install some trustworthy apps but to be honest I'm not sure how safe my data is with this phone so I'm not using it at the moment.
After removing and reinstalling the Google apps the phone runs quicker and the battery life is slightly better, YouTube behaves perfectly too.
It's a very nice phone but I just don't trust it yet.

Honestly the bloat on this device really isn't that bad, most of the preloaded apps I actually use. Although I am learning about making custom ROMs and debloating is part of that learning, and I figure someone may find this useful. Now this is by now means a complete or thoroughly tested list. It will be it just isn't yet, so in the meantime feel free to make any comments that may help.

Of course the google framework should be removable and I did remove it but that seems like something that will need testing. Furthermore I know it is possible to remove Dolby Atmos, but I don't know how yet.

Hola
What on phone tool do you folks use to forcibly remove these system apps? I am a keen user of Titanium Backup, but I find that TiBu doesn't always completely remove these unwanted apps. I understand that if someone creates a TWRP flashable zip with the mentioned unwanted apps, then this is another working way, but seems rather long winded is it not?

I understand that if someone creates a TWRP flashable zip with the mentioned unwanted apps, then this is another working way, but seems rather long winded is it not?

you'll root to remove all those apps from the phone and you can use link2sd to uninstall all of them

If you go this route, consider "Freezing" the apps for a few days before actually uninstalling them to insure there is not a dependency that is not obvious. Also keep a previous level nandroid backup.
Even that is not always foolproof tho. After intially replacing the Stock ZTE Browser with the smaller Android Browser I found it could not create bookmarks. Reinstalled the ZTE WeimiBrowser OK. All works with Android Browser Frozen just fine, but when I uninstalling it I get a strange SIM issue where the phone bounces between SIM 1 & 2 (only #1 is installed). So I leave it Frozen. Irritating, but plenty of storage.
