Has the "Ok to remove" been confirmed? Will a factory reset bring it all back?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The unroot works if u put the bloatware that u removed back on, or if u never remove it in the first place. I rooted the hard way and used the 1 click to unroot. Im ready for the 2.2 to come as well. It is confirmed by sprint that the evo is getting it this week so im pisses that we don't have it already.
sent from Shawn Micheals...The heartbreak Kid
I've removed nearly everything under "OK to remove/delete/rename" with no problems.
I'm not sure if a factory reset will bring everything back or not, but I saw a .zip floating around of all those system files. If you need any of those files I could try and find it for you.
Thanks wad3g, that's really helpful.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Seen quite a few people run in to bootloops messing with the framework and as of right now to fix it, is to run the 604 update.zip. But those who removed the bloatware ran in to problems as the update wouldn't run because it didn't see certain apps. And no, a hard reset doesn't bring them back.
So I'm assuming this will probably be the same case for the 2.2 update, guess we'll find out soon enough.

[Solution] Restore "old" market

When market is updated itself to new version we have problems.
Mostly timeouts, lags, etc.
There is solution that can revert update.
In fact, market is 2 applications:
vending.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
To use "old" market you need only delete that 2 applications and install old market.
Deleting updater is necessary, because it will download new version right after you use old one 1st time.
To remove system apps you need root and application, ie "root app remover".
After you delete them just install old market (zip attached).
Unzip it on SD card and install via file manager or easy installer.

[TUT] Remove Junk Apps + List (4.0.A.2.368, 4.0.1.A.0.283 & 4.0.2.A.0.42/.58/.62/.69)
Hello guys,
with the latest update(s) the Xperia Arc got a lot of additional junk apps, some of them run always and slow the phone down due running in the background and using RAM and CPU power.
So I'm writing a tutorial for you to remove these unnecessary apps.
How to delete the junk apps:
Go into "system/app" with Root Explorer, in that folder are all the junk apps. Now press "Mount R/W". Now you can delete the junk apps one by one or multi-select them. To have a backup of the apps, I'd suggest you to move them to the sd card. It's good to make a folder called "Junk Apps - name of the firmware" on your sd card.
Now select the apps, press move and go to the sd card and to the folder "Junk Apps - name of the firmware" and press paste. Done.
List of the junk apps for 4.0.A.2.368 :
- chinesetextinput.apk (chinese keyboard)
- datamonitor.apk (datamoitor widget)
- Home.apk (SE launcher, only delete this when you have another launcher installed!!)
- IddAgent.apk (Anonymous Usage Stats)
- JapaneseIME.apk (japanese keyboard)
- letsgolf_A_353.apk (Let's Golf HD)
- neoreader.apk (Neoreader)
- OmaDatasyncService.apk (part of SE Sync)
- playnowclientarvato.apk (Play Now)
- POBoxSknPink.apk (skin for chinese keyboard)
- POBoxSknWood.apk (skin for chinese keyboard)
- SemcCrashMonitor.apk (Crash Monitor)
- SEMCSetupWizard.apk (Setup Wizard)
- Stk.apk (SIM Tool Kit)
- storefront.apk (all the new stuff that has something to do with Fun&Downloads. Removes 3 items from the app drawer that belong to that game thing)
- Sync.apk (SE Sync)
- SyncWizard.apk (part of SE Sync)
- touchnote.apk (postcard app)
- trackid.apk (Track ID)
- UpdateCenter.apk (Update Center. Will remove "softwareupdate" from phone information in settings)
- usersupport.apk (Support)
- widgetdigitalclock.apk (small digital clock widget)
- widgetonoff.apk (most on/off widgets)
- wisepilot.apk (Wisepilot)
List for 4.0.1.A.0.283 + 4.0.2.A.0.42/.58/.62/.69:
- chinesetextinput.apk
- com.sonyericsson.androidapp.storefront.apk
- datatrafficswitch.apk
- Home.apk (SE launcher, only delete this when you have another launcher installed!!)
- IddAgent.apk
- JapaneseIME.apk
- letsgolf_A_353.apk
- neoreader.apk
- OmaDatasyncService.apk
- playnowclientarvato.apk
- POBoxSknPink.apk
- POBoxSknWood.apk
- SemcCrashMonitor.apk
- SEMCSetupWizard.apk
- Stk.apk
- Sync.apk
- SyncWizard.apk
- trackid.apk
- UpdateCenter.apk
- usersupport.apk
- widgetdigitalclock.apk
- widgetonoff.apk
- wisepilot.apk
I've removed all these apps from my Xperia Arc and it's running fine and faster than before. Plus you have more free RAM so your apps don't get killed as fast anymore when you minimized them.
There might be more apps that are removable without bricking the ROM, but then you lose some functions. If you want to do that you can use the link I posted below.
If you want to remove even more, here's another good list but some new apps are missing. Check the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470
This might also work on the Xperia Neo and Xperia Play when they are on the mentioned firmwares, too. But I can't test that.
Do this at your own risk. I'm not responsilbe if you brick or damage your phone by doing this!
If this helped you, please press "Thanks"
Regards,
Flo

If you meant ES File Explorer ( not EX File Explorer ) then you don't need that mount R/W option as this command is specific to Root explorer...
however, in both cases you NEED TO BE ROOTED, if you're not then both apps ( Root explorer & ES File Explorer ) won't help you... and also not any other app will help...

Isn't removing the 'Home.apk' without an alternate home screen app a dangerous idea?
When we move the apps to sdcard dat actually means we are deleting them from system/app rite ???
or do i have to go back to the app directory and delete them ?

Removing them from /system/app will uninstall the apps,
U don't have to go to the app directory
My tips is,
Multi select your files.
Cut all the files.
Paste it on a new folder on your sd card.
So you can reinstall your app again anytime you want
Just copy and paste again in /system/app

btw. in setxperia's systemcleanup tool you :
get a description for systemfiles , a hint if they are "save to remove" , you can rename them (underscore) , delete them , move updates (i.e. maps) back to system/app , fill the new free space with apps from data/app
and all this with a single click ;-)

install any launcher first before you delete the home.apk... and make sure you use as default the launcher that you install.... its now safe to remove the home.apk

Not if you have a replacement launcher like LauncherPro Plus installed.
I wrote to not remove the apk in the list when no other launcher is installed, where I described each apk, but for safety I added the description to the other list, too
Guys,
For my Arc S with .283 firmware, I have moved the below apps to SD Card :
1) datamonitor.apk
2) datatrafficswitch.apk
3) IddAgent.apk
4) JapaneseIME.apk
5) letsgolf_ay.apk
6) OmaDatasyncService.apk
7) playnowclientarvato.apk
8) POBoxSknPInk.apk
9) POBoxSknWood.apk
10) SemcCrashMonitor.apk
11) SEMCSetupWizard.apk
12) Stk.apk
13) storefront.apk
14) Sync.apk
15) SyncWizard.apk
16) TimescapeRssPlugin.apk
17) TimescapeSpline.apk
18) TimescapeWidget.apk
19) UpdateCenter.apk
20) usersupport.apk
21) widgetonoff.apk
22) wisepilot.apk
Instead of deleting them from a file explorer, you could just use Titanium Backup, much easier to identify what apks are and you can even back them up in case you ever need them again.
Thanks guys I try removing the bloatwares! (Crossing fingers.)

[Q] How to remove some of the GAPPS ?

After rooting and installing GAPPS, now I need to get rid of some ... like News and Weather, Google Talk, if possible the Market app (as I installed SearchMarket).
The problem is that I CANNOT. I tried with Root Uninstaller, but it cannot find any apps... it gives me SD card error. So, I need a way to uninstall them from where are installed (not from where Root Uninstaller is looking for apps and not finding any).
Please help, thanks.
You don't want to remove Market just because you installed SearchMarket as SearchMarket is just for searching and it invokes Market to show the result list and for installs. Market is dependent on Talk under the covers for communication with Google servers. I think you can uninstall Talk.apk (front end messenger) and leave TalkProvider.apk installed and everything will work OK. To uninstall Talk.apk use ADB or a root explorer like ES File Explorer to rename Talk.apk to Talk.apk.bak and verify the Market and other GApps you use still work. When you're sure you can delete Talk.apk.bak.

Device owners won't have to deal with a ton of pre-packaged apps they may not use (ex. Google Play Movies & TV). Instead, this GApps package has been modded for those who are running Android 4.4.3 and want just the bare basics (Play Store with sync. and libs). Also great for owners who have older/legacy devices with small system partitions. In addition, for those who are running CM11, I've taken out some system bloat during the install process. Read OP for details.
is there a way i can get amail.apk or exhange.apk for my secondary email? great work btw!

I went ahead and created a flashable .zip that will put back email.apk and exchange.apk onto your device. You may download it here.

KNOWN BUGS:
- Wakelock issue for devices running Google Play services v5.0.xx (device won't enter deep sleep)
*Fix - If you are running a CM nightly with the following commit merged - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/66894/, you're fine
*Alternative Fix - If you are on a CM ROM with a build date before 06/30/2014, disable the following system entries from within Google Play Services:
SystemUpdateService$Receiver
SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver
SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
Use the following app to disable the entries mentioned above.
Thanks to Noed for the alternative fix!
How would I go about adding the voice dialer back? Its kind of a massive must have for anyone using cm11 since LTE and data drops are a constant bug. I have no way of saying "open APN" without it which is the fix to that problem.
Thanks these gapps are awesome.
Tested on cwm 6.0.5.0
edit 1
The alternative fix don't works for me,i have try all the system entries but nothing for now.
edit 2
ok with pm.sleep_mode=1 works now.

None of the GApps packages provided remove the AOSP voice dialer.

This may be related, I just found out that removing Google Search from GApps also seems to remove Google voice typing from Keyboard & Input Methods, so the keyboard doesn't have the voice input option anymore. Possibly that also affects voice dialing? I've reinstalled Google search through the Play store now and was able to get speech input back that way.
