Hello!
I'm trying to clean up my phone deleting bloatware, I've found the following apps:
android.res.overlay
com.android.res.overlay
com.sonyericsson.capabilities.res.overlay
com.sonyericsson.music.product.overlay
com.sonyericsson.r2r.client.res.overlay
What do they do? It's safe to remove them?
Xperia M Rooted 4.3 Locked Bootloader.
Do not remove such type of apps.. Mostly with this type of names.. This are not bloatware. This can be processes linked to important apps and you will start getting fcs in apps linked with that process. Remove apps like whats new, sony select etc.

Dude - are you sure you should be removing apps if you don't know what to be removing them with. No disrespect, just saying.
Anyway, if you want to remove apps, I assume you aren't talking about just any old app ??? Because of course, you can just uninstall apps within Settings, Applications, Manage Applications on vanilla Android.
If you want to remove system apps and stuff that can't be removed in Settings, Apps, ..., then you need something like Titanium Backup (I'm sure thats what most would recommend). Again, if you didn't know this already, I would recommend reading up on it. It needs you to be rooted, which isn't a problem if you read the threads on here. It also needs some know-how about what is safe to remove (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470).
If you just need to get rid of bloatware, you could flash a cleaner firmware that doesn't have lots of useless apps (I'm thinking of all the apps included in the France Orange firmware).
I hope this helps.
Using an app called Root app delete, I see that apps are divied into user apps and sytem apps. All of the bloatware I would like to remove is listed in user apps.
I assume any app in user apps is safe to remove (I have disabled them for a few days to be sure) - is this a safe assumption?
Also I learned that removing bloatware equals modding the ROM and that in principle you must restore them to recieve OTAs, but would this also be true if these apps are user apps and not system apps?
Thanks
User apps are generally safe to remove. If you want to recieve OTAs, you would have to restore it to the state it was when you recieved it.

So, my question is : After rooting the device, I want to uninstall all the useless apps that are built in the phone and I don't ever use. Anyone knows what apps can I safely remove from my SONY XPERIA S ?

here is list of some apps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546253
but i suggest you to download 'NoBloat Free' app from Play Store and remove apps easily from there.
It will be more useful to keep the backup of some apps, who knows, tomorrow we may need them....!
Great. It's a perfect list.
NoBloat did not show all the apps. Titanium did,so I uninstalled them with it.

Root your phone and then use Titanium Backup to easily remove any system apps which you do not require. Be careful to not remove vital system apps though.
Hello Folks!
After Rooting my HTC One M8 with Android 6 Marshmallow i want to Delete the Bloatware with Titanium Backup. The "Uninstall" Button doesnt Work, i can delete the Bloatware Apps but when i Restart the Phone the Bloatware Apps are back
But TB have a Delete Force Option (over Security Hole in the System) but can anyone tell me which Bloatware Apps can be Deleted without the Risk of a Brick or unstable System?
And are the Bloatware Apps and all there files complete Deleted after this wipe?
I want to Uninstall the following Bloatware Apps:
Stocks, Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Fun Fit, Google News & Weather, Google News, Peel Remote, News Republic, Zoe Video Editor, Kid Mode
Hope someone can Help me.
Thanks!
Use a root explorer like Solid Explorer. Just search in Play Store. Navigate to /system/app and /system/priv-app to delete your bloat-apps.
Alternative you can use your recovery to delete bloatware. Recommend is TWRP
You can safely remove all the apps you listed in your post. There is no risk.
Hope this helps you

This is due to secure kernel on the M8. You can either search for, and install insecure kernel mod, or flash a custom kernel. Or use one of the methods mentioned in the previous response (TWRP, some other root apps).
If you have any doubts/uncertainly about deleting the bloat apps; you can test by freezing the app(s) in Titanium. Then use the phone for a while with the app(s) frozen). If no ill effects are observed, it is probably safe to delete the bloat app(s).
