I remember seeing a list of links with the apps a long time ago but I don't seem to find it anymore.
Anyway, I've got some problems with my phone and I want to send it to repair because I'm still under warranty. The pre-installed games could not be removed without rooting and due to the fact that they're no longer on the phone (deleted them with titanium backup) it might seem a bit suscpicious because I want to get rid of any sign that I rooted it. I tried factory reseting but it doesn't restore the system apps. Also, I've never unlocked the bootloader and I'm not going to, so I can't install the stock ROM.
TL;DR I'm looking for a list with links for downloading the factory xperia play factory apps.
Just use PC Companion to reinstall firmware
Or use flashtool to flash stock firmware
Both solutions will reset phone to original state ( without root and with all apps installed).

I've read about updates needing the system applications installed to work. I have a few questions:
Do all apps have to be installed (including games)?
I've uninstalled some apps to download again to install them as user apps to move to my SD card. Do I need to re-install these back to system apps? Or is the fact they're installed good enough?
Will a factory reset put everything back the way it should be so I can just do that?
Finally, why do you have to have it the way it was to enable updates?
Thanks in advance. I've read quite a few posts about having to have system apps installed, but not why or which ones.

Yeah, I'm eagerly awaiting ICS. I guess if I must ask a question, it would be, why do you have to have the original system apps to update properly?

Should I post this in the general bit? Or has it been answered many times and people are sick of answering? I haven't found any answers, despite looking for days.

I want to customise my phone as much as I can (dare), but after reading about the update thing I'm holding off in case I forget exactly what I did to put back to update-able-ness.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Why don't you just install the latest firmware after backing everything up (just in case something goes wrong) that way all the system apps are fine and it should be fine with an update service.. but why wouldn't you all just wait for an official rom to be leaked and flash it your phones with flashtool?
Hi to all,
I have installed the new firmware (4.0.2.A.0.62) for my Xperia Pro with OTA, to preserve the root access. Now I'm trying to uninstallal Uefa.com, Moxier Pro and Xperia Hot Shots from my phone. I have uninstalled it with success, but when I restart the phone these apps reappear again. I also used Titanium Backup to uninstall them but nothing is change...
is there anyone who has had the same problem and managed to solve it?
try this:

Thanks Wayne, but unfortunately I can not resolve if I eliminate them using rootexplorer. It is as if each time the system starts they will be downloaded and installed again...
With .58 firmware I not had this problem...
It only happened after I upgraded to .62
Hmmm that's strange...maybe you should flash .62 Firmware again using flashtool

Thanks Wayne, I finally solved the problem!
I communicate the process so others can also be solved it.
There is a file in the folder "system / app" called "CustomizedApplicationInstaller.apk".
Delete it with rootexplorer and the "UEFA", "Xperia Hot Shots" and "Moxier Pro" apps will no longer be installed at system boot

You can use Titanium backup (forgot it require root or not)
What is your phone?

Titanium requires root. Helium doesn't, but you need to install some drivers on your pc and connect the phone to the pc (just to initialize the first time or every time you reboot) if you want to backup without rooting. (dunno why he doesn't want to root, root allergies?). Or he could just use the Sony Backup&Restore app. There's been some fuss about it not working, but from what I can see I can backup data of system apps just fine. Not Play Store apps, but most keep their data on the SD and you can find what apps you had installed in the Play Store.

There's threads with ICS ftf files in the General section. I don't need to hold your hand do I? Thorough steps: backup your data, open flashtool (read a guide on how to use flashtool, it pretty much explains itself though), flash the ftf that you download (oh and wipe data if you switch Android versions), reboot your phone, restore your backup.
where can i find recovery image to boot xperia s in recovery mode and kernel for stock Jellybean???
Just tried to back up my files using this app, which I've done many times on the ICS firmware, however the version on the new JB update is different and states that only system apps will be backed up, but apps with downloaded data will not, so literally all the apps on the phone. Before this wasn't an issue and it backed up everything, all apps.
can anyone help/explain how to solve this?
seems normal for me, can backup all downloaded stuff too, if this (as per image attached), mine .200, unlocked BL, rooted.

You'll have to backup to a USB drive via OTG, then you can backup media files and downloaded apps with data.

Yep realised this, which is strange because it never used to be like that.
I downloaded the old app from ICS and it installs and works fine!
You can install old backup and restore app

Hello
I rooted my Optimus G F180L and uninstalled some of the preinstalled apps.
Today I got a Software Update for my phone which I downloaded and was about 50 Mb.
When I tried to install it gave me an error that a rooted device couldn't be OTA updated.
Then I removed root from the SuperSu app but it gives me the same error as if it was still rooted.
I'm guessing it is because of uninstalling those apps.
If that's correct now I'd need to return it back to stock which i don't dare to do without being 100% sure I wont mess it up.
Would a factory reset do the work (how to do it?) or do I need to flash the whole stock ROM?
Any help highly appreciated!!
try to factory reset your phone, if that don't work maybe reflash or check with your phone carrier before doing anything else, maybe they haven't received the update yet.
Because when i run stock rom, i could receive OTA updates even while it was rooted
Would the factory reset bring back even the apps I deleted?

yes, a factory reset brings the phone back to stock, which is how it came out from the LG factory, but only if you run the original LG rom ofc which you do.

you can use a program like Titanium Backup (it requires root), if you wanna save data of the apps you got installed, if you wanna save contacts you can export them to an xml to storage and copy out, and sms' i personally use "SMS Backup & Restore" from Ritesh Sahu does the job good, as long as you don't got any drafting messages.

Does this phone have a stock recovery (how to enter it) so I can make a full system backup?

I downloaded the file "V20t-DEC-20-2013" which was 50,76 MB successfully using mobile 3g network, but after the phone restarts and begins the updating process it gets stuck at 3% ang gives me an error. Then it reboots and gives a message of the device being suspected of root.

hmm, that i never have seen before, but if you want you can download the newest original firmware here: http://lge-phones.org/check-latest-lg-official-firmware
used the site a couple of times myself for my E975 and then flash the whole rom.
because i never had a problem, but maybe it's just different in some countries.
but if you decide to use LG's flashing tool remember to backup your data on your computer, or else they will be lost because LG's tool formats the phone totally.
I got similiar problem when update ota to v20t. How to solved it?

you have to relock ur bootloader to install ur update...best way is to flash the kdz, do hard reset, install update...everythin will go fine..
