How to remove unused Sony applications?

I have seen some people have managed to removed built in applications (after rooting phone). I would like to do it too on my xperia Arc s so does anyone how to do it? Thanx in advance...

You can use titanium backup or root explorer.
Titanium is better as it will remove the icons etc.
Recommend you backup 1st before remove incase you need them.
This should be in q&a

Y U NO USE AppMan?
It is free and tells you which apps can be safely removed... plus if you want them back you can directly download and install them using the same app.
Original thread here.

I see what you did there! Thanx!

My Bad. But Root Explorer is best.

There is a new file manager out there called solid explorer, in Landscape mode you can 2 directory lists, and can just about do anything root explorer can do too.
Its worth a try anyhow as I couldn't get into root explorer.. me too noob

[Q] ICS 4.0.4 for Arc

Can anyone post Official 4.0.4 Firmware with all Bloatware removed for LT15i? I tried updating to official version but its full of Bloatwares. Lets Golf etc. Can anyone clean the Bloatwares and reupload the ROM? Also which Kernal is best with official 4.0.4?

If you are rooted, just remove the APK's from /system/app using a Root Explorer (I sue EZ Explorer, enable Root and mount system R/W)

it possible to make an system.img without bloatware but you need an unlocked bootloader for flashing it.

/\ correct. Also you can use a root app remover. But to get rid of vendor apps( ones that won't uninstall) you need a app like systemcleanup.

I have bootloader unlocked. But I am unable to remove Bloatwares as I do not know how to do it and what all files are safe to remove. Can anyone create a clean ROM?

Questions go in the Q&A section.

But root required

disable system app
Try to disable all apps related to Timescape
It can free up some ram

Use Greenify, you can get it from Play Store.
You can install stock ICS based custom ROMs.
Avoid using task killers.
Remove unnecessary system apps, with file explorer (ES File Explorer for example) or via another app (Titanium Backup). List of apps with explanation - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470
This has improved performance on stock ICS as well. Quoted from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372363
1 ** uncheck ( Force gpu rendering ) in setting -> developers options if it is checked .
2 ** download DisableService app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...eservice&hl=fr
And go to system apps -> systemUI -> LoadAverageServices and then disable it .

Like What Scripts?

To speed up the UI, you can also disable animation.
Turn off:
Settings--> Developer -->Window animation scale
and
Settings--> Developer -->Transition animation scale

Best way to speed up phone is to delete system apps with Titanium backup (when rooted phone) and free up space. Other apps will run much faster, battery life will increase, etc... You can find list of apps that you can safely remove, here on xda, just search.

hi bye

If your phone is rooted, then Titanium Backup or Root Delete or /system/app/delete app from the playstore are the best. If not rooted, you cant do anything, unfortunately.

I installed the app to remove but when i tried to remove the device restarting and start optimizing apps again

Which app are you using to delete the apps. Some versions of Titanium backup may not work. So use root delete app or /system/app mover app.

I have tried this as well, using paid version of Root Explorer and TB PRO. Unable to delete system apps.
I am thinking that this maybe because of the S-ON that we have.
As of now, I cannot delete bloatwares inside the system app.

Did u use the system write disable mod in the original development forum... Use that and u will be able to have most of the features like that of s-off.... Before this mod i couldn't permanently delete the apps and couldn't install some of the apps like adaway xposed etc... Using this mod disables the system write protection... So we can enjoy most of the benefits of s-off.....

[Q] How to delete system apps [4.4.2]

Well, a very simple question, but one which is bugging me.
My phone has kitkat and is rooted.
So, how do I remove the unnecessary System apps preloaded in the firmware? Link2sd, Titanium Backup Pro, and NoBloat free are some of the apps which I've tried. They are NOT working.
I've even tried using root explorer to delete the system apps, but I kitkat is not allowing me to mount system to read-write mode. I use fx file explorer.
Any type of help would be appreciated.

Tried it. Not working
Ps - Can it be a problem with my rooting method? Here's what I did---
-> Flash a 4.3 kernel which has recovery.
-> Boot into recovery and flash SU binary zip file.
-> Flash the original 4.4.2 kernel and boot into system.
I trierd root checker and it shows I have root access. Greenify works perfect too.
Here's a screenshot of the error link2sd shows when I try to uninstall Sketch app.
