Nice work!

Extract the files, run the exe file, connect the phone to computer with usb debugging on and select the options in command prompt.

And one thing, after the reboot, I checked system/app, and found that some of the apk files were not removed. This has to do with the naming of apk filenames, some of which have capital letters in between. For example, SemcPowerSaver.apk and SemcPowersaver.apk...

/system/app/FBSetupWizard.apk' does not exist because it's called /system/app/FBSetupwizard.apk

/system/app/neoreader.apk - I don't have this one.
/system/app/POBoxSknselector.apk - POBoxSknSelector.apk
/system/app/SemcPowersaver.apk - /system/app/SemcPowerSaveModule.apk
/system/app/Storefront.apk - not exist in my /app folder

I think that list is a little small. In Xperia 2011 forum (eg. Arc, Neo) I saw more advance remover

take a look at it.

I am stuck on "connect phone with usb-debugging mode". I do so, but program doesn't go from this point. Can i do the same with Titanium backup?

You can delete them manually, just back them up first just in case you need them again

I have frozen all mentioned apps(which were available) via titanium backup and phone works way more faster now.

Did you enable your debugging mode ? from settings -> Developer options?
but it's good to know that the list helped you
