Hi guys, i'd like to know what these apps are called because i'd like to remove them if it is possible and safe.

Browser
Facebook
Gmail
Support
Sync
News & Weather
Connected devices
Video Unlimited Get games
Xperia PLAY
Voice Search
Update center
LiveWare manager

Thanks.

Someone said that backing up a system app, deleting it will not allow you to reinstall it?
I always thought opposite but seeing that confused me
Could somebody just clarify for me?
Thanks

ye i uninstalled a sysyem app cant remember which one though even after backing it up and reinstalling the problem persisted.
PROBLEM WAS Home button no longer worked and calls would go straight to voicemail even though all settings were ok.
HOW I FIXED - do a software update and then unistall system apps i knew where safe

how about WisePilot? anyone tried removing it?

I removed the following apps:

/system/app:
chinesetextinput
brucelee
EventStream
EventStreamPluginCallLog
EventStreamPluginFacebook
EventStreamPluginTelephony
EventStreamPluginTwitter
Facebook
FBCalendarSync
FBIAppShare
FBMediaDiscovery
FBMusicLike
FBNotificationPublisher
FBSetupwizard
fifa
GenieWidget
officesuite
Postviewer
SEMCFacebookProxy
Sims
starbattalion
WeatherWidget
TimescapeRssPlugin
Timescape
TimescapeWidget

/data/app:
xperia hotshots
uefa
madden10
wise pilot
all other generic .58 bloatware.

After installing the apps I use and moving some to SD, I have 228MB free.
I am using the enhanced v2 .58 firmware.

I just tried to remove the Bruce Lee and Star Battalion games but it says "cannot remove system app. Failed to locate the apk file."
How do I remove them?

Odd thing happened when removing apps

---

I just rooted my X Play yesterday and started playing around with Titanium Backup Pro and noticed something odd. I wasn't going to bring this thread back to life but since someone beat me to it I'm posting a strange thing that happen while I was removing apps. I removed a bunch of apps from several of the long lists in previous posts. But instead of gaining free memory I actually lost some. When I started in the “All” list I was at 255 MB free and now I'm at 248MB free and in the “Running” I was about 238 MB Free and now I'm at 216MB free. I uninstalled a lot of stuff, some I deleted but my free memory went down not up. I'm new to this so I don't have a clue, does anyone have any ideas?

I do like the 38 second boot time however.

Did you clean the Dalvik cache after deleting the apps? There's an option in TB in "Menu>More>Clean up the Dalvik cache ..."
