It does exactly as you said, it only disables them.
Currently the working rooting methods require you to unlock your bootloader and with that loose your DRM keys. Other than that, not.

You can only remove the ones, that you could also remove using your phones application menu. The other ones are installed into the system and can only be removed using root rights.

Can I disable the text zoom lens? I don't need the magnifying glass. Double tap to select doesn't work in all apps. I want long click back.
Does anyone already know the package that holds the lens?

I'd like to distinguish between disabling an app and blocking it. When you disable only, then the concerned app is still known to the system as installed, it won't just start. If you block and app, then it's apparently even no longer registered. Check it in the Update Centre, blocked apps show as "new apps" whereas disabled show as "updates". Further, if you do the updates of blocked apps then these updates keep coming back in a loop.

Thanks for this nice mod
I want to remove the Xperia Care app, Sony Select and Xperia Lounge.
Does someone have the commands for that?
hi
I believe the following block the xperia lounge and lounge pass items:
pm block com.sonyericsson.xhs
pm block com.sonymobile.xperialounge.services
Cheers,
Gaz

hi
This should be the command to block MyXperia:
pm block com.sonymobile.mx.android
don't know about res.overlay

hi
no offence intended but are you using the command correctly / getting the syntax right?
Has pm block worked 'correctly' for you with other packages?
When I do it, I have my adb files in a folder imaginatively called "adb".
I use the command line, from within that "adb" folder, and issue the following command:
adb shell pm block com.sonymobile.mx.android
The response should be "Package com.sonymobile.mx.android new blocked state: true"
Using the unblock command should result in a similar response, except ending in "false".
Regards,
Gary
relax mate, no offense taken.
i used linux for modifying my android, just bought my Z3C about a week ago and decided to take a try coz this 577 update really sucks in terms of battery life.
all command i execute manually and it all worked out, got this 1% battery drain overnight at standby. Except for this com.sonymobile.mx.android package, always result false and i wonder maybe someone in this forum got this problem too.
will give it a try again tonight, while googling the solution
com.sonymobile.mx.android - has to be removed from security settings as an app with Administrative rights. Then it can be changes, at least that how this worked for me.
If you block the whole album your camera my stop working. You can block the faces service from running that is connected to album. com.sonymobile.photoanalyzer

83You can use ADB on unrooted devices to remove the "What's New" option from the NavRing and to remove the Small Apps Widget launcher from Recent Apps.
I will assume you know how to install and use ADB.
To remove the "What's New" option from the NavRing:
Code:adb shell pm block com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance exit adb reboot
Make sure to reboot before proceeding if you're removing both items.
To remove the Small Apps Widget Launcher from the Recents screen:
Code:adb shell pm block com.sony.smallapp.launcher pm block com.sony.smallapp.app.widget exit adb reboot
To revert changes substitute "unblock" for "block" in the command.9My Setup
I uninstalled and disabled what i could from within Android and then i used the following to remove the rest of the bloatware:
adb devices
adb shell
pm block com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance
pm block com.sony.smallapp.launcher
pm block com.sony.smallapp.app.widget
pm block com.sonyericsson.textinput.chinese

Many of the packages are self explained by its name but some arn't. Therefor I would recommend to do a quick search on the below posts to figure them out.

Also check out this guy. He got really far in debloating. It is in german or something but thats what Google Translate is for!

Good luck debloating!7
Did you reboot your phone in the meanwhile ? From my readings here in the different threads i assume that the What'S new ring is resetted like the deactivated app through system/app-settings. This seems to be a bug in the Sony firmware. Every reboot seems to reset all. But in my case i can't confirm this behaviour concerning the blocked stuff.
But something is strange though - i blocked some live wall papers - and after controlling in the system/app-settings i find them active in RAM and i could kill them ? So what exactly happened with this blocked packages ? Could someone please explain - all stuff all around the different forums are only vague concerning our application. It seemed as if all packages in the batch file are blocked correctly but why could they be killed from RAM ?
THX in advance
Rhonin
BTW: I expanded my BatchScript a little - you can find it in the attachment. you can find the content of the batch file below.

OK - after some research i found a temporary solution for me. I took @erousr's post as a base and put all his proposed packages in a DOS-Batchfile. I saved it in the ADB-Folder on my PC. After connecting the phone with my PC activating USB Debugging i doubleclick the batch file and it runs the way i wanted it to work :laugh:
A big THX goes to @erousr for his selection
If someone is interested in this batch-file -> Have a look at the attached file.
Feel free to use it as a base and delete the lines which contain packages you need or you can insert lines of packages you do not need.
I will investigate on other packages which can be blocked, and maybe we can build a little database of packages for the z3c - though there are a lot of collections around here at XDA....6
Thanks!
Small apps are gone, but Google Search bar is still there after:
Code:adb shell pm hide com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance pm hide com.sony.smallapp.launcher pm hide com.sony.smallapp.app.widget exit adb reboot
