I probably wouldn't mess with those. MTP is Media Transfer Protocol which I believe is used in moving data from your computer to your phone, so I wouldn't mess with that one.

As for TMOSync, it probably keeps you phone book up to date.

I deleted the MtpApp and I still can choose Media transfer mode (did not try it out tho as I don't need it anyway).
I believe the system app to manage the media transfer mode, to be com.sonyericsson.mtp 1.0

TMOSync Service - let me have a wicked guess, you have T-Mobile as provider
I think it's save to also delete this one - if you can spare the synchronisation with the T-Mobile service.

If you are unsure about system apps, simply do a backup of the files -> delete.

As you can see I have O2 as provider so I can delete the second app?

well.... FAIL

all I can tell you is that I don't have the TMO Sync Service, and my phone works perfectly + I don't 'miss' anything so I would say yes
