[ICS] [Rooted] I'm not able to Delete SE's apps?!

Hi,
I have a rooted Arc with Locked BL, work with 4.0.4...
I have delete some Google sys apps like calendar and download interface. HOWEVER, I have tried many times to delete SE's apps but I failed. I have tried with titanium, explorer and Rom-toolbox. What I can do is just disable SE's apps from apps overview setting.
Any idea?

That's surprising. You can't delete apps even though you're rooted?

Try Root Uninstaller from the Play Market. I did not have any problem to delete any app I want, included SE. Actually, it does not delete, but let you uninstall.

with ics 4.0.4 there is a new folder for apps /vendor/app/
first mount it R/W with root explorer then u should be able to delete the SE apps

I have tried Root Uninstaller pro too. but I can't.
All rooted apps get rooted access, However, they give me an error when deleting apps.
Titanium gave me this error:"Failed to locate the apk file".
Root Uninstaller gave me this message:"Can not uninstall app, an unknown error occurred".
What really surprising me is: I could not find SE apps in system\app ?!!!!!!
NOTE THAT: I have rooted my ARC by flashing ARC S kernel, get the root, then, flash ARC kernel again. The root is there. All apps need root are working very well.
I tried another way to uninstall SE's apps. I reflashed ARC S kernel again... I deleted SE's apps. then, I reflashed ARC kernel, and I found all SE's apps?!!!
All what I can do is: Disabling these apps from system details (App info). But, I want to delete them to get more space.
ANY IDEA...
Remember that, I can't find SE's apps in system\app.

[Q] Phone rebooting after rooting

Hi all I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick, and then using ES File Explorer as su I started uninstalling some of the system apps that I don't need/want. (I didn't uninstall anything specific to the Android system).
I have the GO Launcher EX installed as the launcher I use, although I don't have it set to default. I then moved the GO Launcher EX apk from /Data/App to /System/App. Somehow something messed up and ES File Explorer started moving a whole bunch of other apks. But I don't even know from which folder or to which folder.
And in the process it must have moved the Android system apks because I suddenly got pop-ups saying that the system had crashed (my paraphrasing, I don't remember the exact wording). So I unrooted using SuperOneClick and restarted the phone. Now it just shows the Sony Ericsson logo, the startup animation, and then restarts. And it keeps doing that.
Is there anything I can do to get things working again? I don't mind doing a complete reset of some kind. Is it possible to access the phone and perhaps reinstall the OS? I have GB installed.
Thank you for the help.

You can repair your phone using SEUS or PC Companion.
Or if you have the ftf, you can use Flashtool to flash it.
Either way, you'll lose data which isn't stored on the SD card.

Thank you for your help. I'll try PC Companion. I did move some apps over to the SD card so hopefully I can quickly reinstall them. I can also download the rest of the apps.

Dude u did move system supporting files.. Tats y it is rebooting..tats y I say always make a backup first coz anything could go wrong and it just did in your case.. if u r unlock bootloader then install a custom rom or if u r on stock then make zip of all systems apps then flash it though recovery.. This way u won't lose any data

facebook?

is it possible to move facebook onto sd card while still maintaining all the functions of having it on the phone memory?

Yes
You have first to uninstall any updates to the system apps.
Second, using a rooted file manager, delete the original apk from /system/app (android keeps the system app apart from the updates, the latter being at /data/apps).
Once this is done, reboot and reinstall the app from the market.
It will be installed as a user app and as such will be movable to the sd card.
As an example, my gmail, facebook, maps etc. are all on my sd card now.”
Use link2sd (if rooted) or app2sd. :good:
Move all your apps into SD without rooting -

[Q] Cannot Install Any Apps At All Even With Free Memory

I've been removing some bloatware on my phone with root explorer (because this is the only method that works since I need to mount r/w on the veondor folder), it's been working great and it's much faster now. Suddenly whenever I try to install from the market or an APK it now says I have insufficient storage available when I have 59mb of memory left on my system and plenty of GB on my SD card. I can still update apps through the market perfectly fine but nothing else works.
Things I removed...
From .../System/App
-Officesuite.apk
-talkback.apk
From .../System/Vendor/App
-datatrafficswitch.apk
-semccrashmonitor.apk
-timescapespline,apk
-timescapewidget.apk
-widgetonoff.apk
-playnow.apk
-letsgolf.apk
I deleted these from looking at a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614761
I am on firmware .587
I'm not sure if this was the cause because I have installed some firmware changing packs such as the nxt theme but ThillanaC and .587 Framework Deodexer by papayayoghurt.
If anyone can help it would really help, and I do have a nandroid backup from before all this but I would prefer to know what caused this.

System space not the same as Data space.

The applications you deleted resided in the System partition of your internal memory but the new ones you want to install require space on the Data partition. So unless you can use an application like SystemCleanup to move some old apps to the System partition you still won't be able to free up space in the Data partition.

I've had apps fail to install when I've had as much as 60MB free. It really does suck - Sony just didn't give us enough space for apps. Either move some apps to your SD card or install Link2SD and kiss this problem goodbye forever. There is a great guide here:

It's well worth doing and doesn't take very long at all.

[SOLVED][Q] How to remove Games & apps by Sony Mobile Communication ?

In my installed apps [ Google Play : ALL APPS ] this Games & apps (by Sony Mobile Communications) appear as installed but actually I cannot find it anywhere. How can I remove it since I cannot find it anywhere, not even with root explorer or any other explorer tool.

Have you tried removing it with Titanium backup?
