Please suggest me anything...just to increase my phone memory space because it's not enough for me to use only 4gb memory spaces. Thank you
how to increase internal memory on q392
You may either root or disable apps.
The best ad-free junk clearing app is Files Go by Google. Tap here to go to Play Store
Then You have two options:
Root: The easiest and tried-n-tested way is through KingoRoot. Download APK on your phone or .exe on PC from https://www.kingoapp.com/.
Then you could uninstall all system bloatware.
Without Root:
Follow the Guide by xda Author Doug Lynch:
Uninstall OEM bloatware without Root Access
If you are not that brave, (and not a true xda member by heart), you may just go to Settings>Apps>All Apps, then select the System Apps and tap on Disable.

I think I should clean the cache a bit, i tried to uninstall some apps but maybe it isn't enough. The Android market is unable to download new apps while BlackDroid still works

I have the same problem, i installed quite a few appz and then removed them, now out of memory from left over installs and not half the appz as orig installed.
I'm interested in finding out this as one. This utility is badly needed.
Don't know how long before we will be able to choose location where to install appications i.e., ofcourse SD card.

We need it rooted fpr apps2sd, but still waiting so we must just be patient.
I don't know if it's the same thing you're talking about, but you can clear the cache from the recovery menu.
This does not require root:

But you cannot clear all caches at once. Still handy though.

Awesome find gogol, very handy indeed, less time consuming... would like to see a clean all feature though!
EDIT: Unfortunatly, Android does not offer the possibility to delete data of other applications (on unrooted phones) for security reasons ... the only way to clear an application cache is to call a system application which is allowed to delete it, that's the reason why several caches can't be cleared with one click, just like with this application.
Alternatively, instead of installing such an app, you can practically achieve the same results by going to settings>apps>manage apps
then menu and sort by size
the top 3 or so you can quickly clear and be done.
A quality utility, thanks

For some internal softwares such as "Finance/Listen/music..." may not be used, I want to delete these softwares. But I can't find the way or app to do it. How can I do?
Thanks!
If you are rooted, go to market and get a file explorer for root. You can access system files. Make sure the fike explorer has su permissions and once in file manager you mount from ro to rw and go to system / app. I use root explorer. Hope this helps. Titanium Backup easiest. It has an uninstall feature.

Yeah just to simplify the other guy's response just use titanium backup. Then go to the backup/restore tab, find the finance app, then tap it and select uninstall. It's that easy

In my experiences, I'd say that disabling the app would be a better option. I only say this because the recent OTA update wouldn't go because Google Goggles was completely uninstalled and there was no way for me to force the installation. I ended up jumping through hoops and balancing a ball on my nose to get the app re-installed so that the update would be clean.
In short, you might run into issues in future updates, should there be any, if you uninstall apps. If you don't want it shown or running, disabling it won't run the service and the icon disappears. Besides, the amount of disk space you gain from removing it is incredibly small.
while i agree that disabling the apps was best when we didn't have perm root, now we can write to /system so if an update comes out we can just put the apps back and apply, or wait a few hours and get a rooted update with all the stuff we need from the OTA and we don't have to worry about stuff not working because app X was removed
Hi,
I just got my new SE Xperia Play phone and got it with android Gingerbread on it, I'm not completely familiar with this OS but following information that I've read I rooted my phone and it is working fine, I did this cause I read that by doing this I would be able to remove and add apps to my phone as I became a Super User on the Linux side of it. Now my questions is, How can I do this? I've tried to find like an step by step add and remove apps on my phone with no luck. Also I'd like to get some information on what can I do and what I can't (or shouldn't do) with my super user rights ( i found this but not sure how to add this titanium backup on my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046699).
All help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Btts.
you can delete any apps including system apps by using TITANIUM BACKUP.
once you've installed it and run it click on the backup/restore tab at the top then select whatever app you want to remove (system apps inluded) click that app and there will be an uninstall option.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DELETE!
Hope this helps
You have to download Titanium Backup from the market
oh ok I get it, so it is available through the android market.. now that is for the Uninstall stuff part (thanks to both) now in order to get stuff installed into the phone is it there an option for that or can I do it using the linux terminal that is installed on the phone?
Thanks for all the help
OK, I have been where you are, and maybe this VERY brief summary will get you started.
1. Root - you did that.
2. Download and install the CWM for locked bootloaders from this link here.
3. Follow the instructions to power off, then power on and press down on the Volume Down key to enter the recovery mode. Then go to the Backup/Restore menu and backup the phone. This creates a Nandroid, or image of the phone so you can put it back to rooted stock if you mess something up.
4. Download and install Titanium Backup from the App Market. You can use this to uninstall any bloatware, including System files, but use with caution so you won't need to use your Nandroid! There is a safe list thread here that will give you some help in what you can remove.
5. Apps for Android usually come from the Android Market, or another market that hosts Android apps like Amazon AppMarket, etc. So any program you want to install will generally need to come from there. (Yes, I know there are some apps around that some Joe Ubertech wrote, but in general, you will want to get apps from the Market or a Vendor site, like Gameloft or EA.)
6. Use an App2SD program to move as many apps to your SD Card as are able to go. This frees up internal storage so you can run smoothly and have a lot of apps too. I like Droidsail Super App2SD (ROOT) because it lets you select a group of apps at one time to move. Do NOT move to SD any app that is accessed through a widget, or any replacement launcher program.
7. Be aware that Programs marked as System files cannot be moved to SD. However, some of them, like the preinstalled games, GMail, Youtube, etc, are also found in the Market. You can either delete them and reinstall them from the Market, or use a program like Root Explorer to manually move these to a folder on the SD card. Then reboot your phone, and you can reinstall them as user apps and be able to move them to SD as well.
8. Read. Read, read, read, READ everything you can get your hands on here in xda. It has been the best source of info for the Xperia Play.
I hope this helps you get going. Have fun, and if you run into trouble, someone here will usually be able to help you get going again.
Cheers!

Hello, the game might refer to your internal sd card, not external sd card
step by step
Games and applications can be installed on your internal SD (your phone memory) or your external SD. apps are installed on your internal SD by default. for moving an application from internal SD to external SD here is your steps:
settings -> applications -> manage appications -> (select your app) -> Move to SD card (button)
one of the other reasons that got this massage might be that your internal SD is full, but how it happens? when you download an application and install it, the application source will stay on your phone. it is because when you used a paid application, and for any reason deleted the application, next time you want it, you won't have to pay again. but if you download many programs and install them (or install and then delete them) source file of app will stay on your internal SD and it will get some space. browse a little in file manager app and you will find some of sources you don't want to.
be careful if you rooted your phone, maybe you delete an application that is necessary for your phone. only delete apps you know.

This is nonsense. Information about your paid apps is stored in the cloud, on Google servers. You can even change your phone for a new one and you will be still able to download your paid apps stored under your account.

ninmanr telling the same stuff as you..
Let me make this clearer... Every apps leave what we call caches.
So there's four type data stored in your phone when it's installed:
APK at /data/app
data folder at sdcard (if created by app)
SQL DB entry
Cache and Configurations
Your best bet when uninstalling a program is clearibg the cache first, clear data, then uninstall.
But I believe you can do more when rooted. CMIIW
So I'm trying to get rid of my bloatware.
I'm doing this in TWRP by mounting System, then going into File Manager > System > App
Selecting folder and deleting it.
I'm nearly there but can't find the folders for the following:
Car
FM Radio
Internet
Polaris Office 5
Where are they?
"Yo. Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen... found 'em!"
[Corporal Hudson. Aliens. 1986]
I realise that owing to S-On TB will not permanently remove apps.
It does however inform me of the path to these apps, which were hiding in: sys/priv-apps/
How to remove app? all tools in google play do not work.
(TWRP, SuperSU, S-ON, Bootloader unlock ... I have)
Thansk for answering
aestheble
there's no need for you to delete anything, just grab SD Maid (root) at the store and freeze all those apps you don't need at the drawer. that way you keep the aesthetic and the stable.
