After rooting my X10, i'm wondering how far you can go in deleting system apps.
I deleted the following without negative problems for the android system and x10 device:
- Moxier
- Chinese keyboard
- Korean keyboard
- user manual
Is it safe to delete timescape, the standard message app, digital clock, playnow and dialer? Anybody done this before?
Thanks in advance!
if can i wanna get rid of the original lock screen
i rather hav lock 2.0 install
There is already a thread on this. It can be found here:

I use titanium and blocked instead of removing some things for testing which apps progs or whatever are effected, but need some time to find out ;-)

So far have had no problems, i'd advise against uninstalling Timescape/Mediascape as im sure the phone uses these for other tasks than their sole purpose, e.g Facebook updates, Camera roll and such

i think so.
After uninstalling mediascape, for some weird reason my contact pictures resolution got lower.
hmm no, uninstalling mediascape doesn't seem like a good plan.
Did somebody uninstall the standard message app?

That doesn't seem to remove the lock after phone call.
I've deleted Timescape. Now I can't open my contacts anymore. So not a good idea
timescape removal
Won't be able to view contact details
can b set aside if you don't mind using phonebook replacements such as acontacts, quickcall or takephone (i think that's the name)
Mediascape removal
wont be able to change wallpapers but can still be done by using a third party app!
may have problems with receiving/attaching mms!
You'd require another app for music such as mixzing and another for pictures such as justpictures! (which I would pick over mediascape any day)
there's prob few more errors out there which I don't know about.
Id recommend getting titanium backup full version, the freeze/defrost option works wonders. its like uninstalling an app without actually uninstalling it.. Freeze the apps you want n if you get errors u just defrost the app n all should be back to normal!!
you can get rid of all the keyboards n stick to ya own.. default se 1 is SEMCime 1.0
(heads up, if you remove all default keyboards n have to factory data reset, ul have no keyboards to start off like me.. theres prob a solution but I had to reroot lol, also if you remove default launcher, in this event timescape would b your default launcher)
you can get rid of timescape themes, provider n plugin n just leave timescape, n everything should stil work as normal, no errors!! (that's if you don't use timescape like me)
You can remove
Digital clock
Playnow
Trackid
Userguide 1.0
Browser 1.6 (if you have an alternative)
Email 1.6 (i don't use it.. gmail will still b there though)
Home 1.6 (i used adw instead)
Voice dialer
User support 1.1.4
Drm protected content storage
Software update (if you don't plan on using it, same goes for the 1 below)
Com.sonyericsson.android.pccompanioninstaller
Com.sonyericsson.android.cdinfoaccess
Alarm clock (can use alternative! may possibly receive odd errors here and there)
I've removed the default messaging app before n used chompsms instead but I got like message delays, sometimes no messages at al so I don't realy touch it.. could possibly have been cause of another app cause I weren't paying too much attention in them days!
if the user who mentioned it earlier still has no problems then you can give it a try.. upto you! I might actually try freezin it n c what happens!
avoid the google stuff, its prob somehow linked to market.. you may have problems downloading from market there after!
Well sorry for the long essay guys.. hope it helps!!

Thank you very much for you comment Mobzter! That was what I was looking for .
I deleted the standard message app (i'm using handcent sms) and didn't receive any errors so far. I think i'll leave timescape for what it is, since it is so deeply rooted in all SE software and the x10 system.
I uninstalled the default Messaging app but facing some problems now. Using Titanium backup, I backup-ed the app before uninstalling but I cannot find the app now! Anyone can tell me what's the name of the Messaging app apk?
The thing with titanium backup is that no matter if you back it up or not you cannot restore the stock apps (default ones)
You can maybe try an alternative app such as chompsms/handcent altho didn't really work out for me
OR
you can try instal the default app
http://db.tt/JlnKmQ
If it doesn't work then you maybe required to push it to system.. don't have the code on me at mo but im sure someone will provide it, if that's the case!
Hope it helps!!
Edit - just realised I wrote all this only to find out I just replied to your post in the 'general section' of this forum lol.. bummer!

Possible Timescape fix
Now earlier i was looking through my phone with root explorer and i came across the timescape folder, now in there was a file that i THINK linked time scape to the phonebook etc, the code is below. Now, im not an experienced coder, but if we delete the part between the two <map> identifiers and overwrite the original with this one, its either going to screw up your phone or stop timescape being linked to the phonebook or do nothing
Let me know what you guys think before i try anything, is it worth testing out?
<map>
<string name="shortcut01">com.sonyericsson.android.mediascape.activity.MceActivity</string>

Do we have a list of apps that are safe to uninstall from the 2.1 after we've applied root?
I removed:
# All Moxier-Apps
# a few Keyboards
but i guess you can remove time- & media-scape as well.
Have removed Moxier and the crappy games and also a few keyboards!

I'd leave Timescape, it screwed stuff up in 1.6 so would imagine it will in 2.1. just use your common sense when deleting stuff, or get Titanium Backup and freeze apps to see what effects if any it has.

Mediascape can be useful from time to time and Timescape *is* essential.
I likely removed a couple more system things, but I can't remember off the top of my head. Phone works perfectly though.

Thanks for confirming.
I'm getting "RM **** Failed - Read Only file system".
I've rotted my x10 with the root method in this forum (the one that loops constantly).
What am I doing wrong?
Not sure why so many apps are consuming so much CPU power. Like face recognition, home, other google stuff. It's been over a day and still theses apps are processing or whatever they are doing
Kinda disappointed with 2.1 atm.

I rooted mine as well, but haven't deleted the Sony crap yet. Could you refer me to a few threads here so I can do so as well.
I'm so close to dumping this X10 :/

Simply use Titanium Backup to freeze apps. No need to delete anything.
I noticed huge lag as well while playing with the phone for the first 15mins and thought it would get used to the new OS, it didn't. One solution I found, and worked for many people was simply restarting the phone. Now my phone doesn't seem like the same laggy X10 I had. For Titanium Backup info and instructions, here is the developer's official wiki: http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php if that doesn't help use the search feature on XDA, or Google it...
Also when deleting Sony apps be careful things like Mediascape are used for putting contact pics in your phonebook, etc. It is also the default mediaplayer so don't delete it. Same with Timescape, if you use your phonebook contacts connected from facebook, I noticed some data is taken from Timescape.
Somethings that I can confirm are safe to delete:
1. Moxier Mail
2. Wise Pilot
3. Creatouch
Before doing this, backup everything with Titanium Backup, no harm in backing up
Well I've been running 2.1 since the day it was released and I've rooted but haven't uninstalled anything and everything is running smoothly for me. As it is for my two mates.
It runs a lot faster then the Galaxy S 2.1.
I haven't come across any lag yet.

Just wait for few minutes. New Dalvik VM is on its way so it is a bit slow to start . Give it ~10-15 mins.
Patience Required
I have done some research and testing, Found that mainly face recon, media apps, Google Sync, where draining power but leaving on phone overnight, charging it had finished processing all the pictures and synced data on my phone, of course you can remove apps but I wouldn't recommend any SE based ones as they all control certain parts to improve phone quality.

I was one of the first that got the oficiall 2.1 update and i stumbled upon something.
When i got it i just used google sync on almost everything. but then i realised i needed some apps that i had made a backup of by using MyBackup PRO. So i thought that "oh well, might just sync the contacts again".
Thats when all hell started to break loose on my poor phone, it was lagging like CRAZY, all the time. Didnt matter what i did, still the same issue...
So i formated and reinstalled everything on the phone, and everything was going extremly smooth. Like the first time experience all over again.
Then i realized "Damn, i havent restored my contacts" and then it hit me. All my problems started when i restored contacts using ANYTHING else BUT Google's own sync. Cuz once i was going to restore it using MyBackupPro it said something about not being able to restore cuz no Google account was found on contacts, but i already had logged in my entire phone with my google account, exxept syncing my contacts with Google.
So my guess is that they have incorporated the contacts too much with Timescape and Google Sync so if u use like Titanium Pro or MyBackup or watever backup program, it will give u issues with this update.
But its meerly a speculation from my side...
Other Point....
The other thing I did notice a lot of is the developer/Diagnostic tool this I imagine will be used to send logs and stats back to SE for 2.1 optimisations for newer firmware, Though it very random at times.

Remove "Home" and use a 3rd party launcher (LauncherPro, ADW Launcher)
You will be surprised how much quicker they are
what can be deleted
There is much better way to clean SE garbage applications than manual delete
use SystemApp Remover it is commercial applications it can be found here http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/systemapp-remover_kbyr.html
price is 1$
it works great on rooted x10i
applications are uninstalled from phone as they were never installed.
Safe to uninstall:
Korean keyboard
Japanese keyboard
Chinese keyboard
Danish keyboard
TrackID
moxiemail
quadrapop
backup & recovery
facebook
Wise Pilot
Creatouch
playnow and two accompanying files
there are some others like e-manual etc. But search forum for more complete list and SystemApp Remover can backup applications before uninstall so you can restore them if things go south
for contact backup use SE sync it is a good one if you use other SE phones
that's my 2 cents
R2R

I've been experimenting with deleting certain apps using Titanium Backup.
Having deleted both Timescape and Mediascape completely, everything seems fine, although I cannot test making calls using the stock dialler as I've deleted that in error but use Google Gesture instead to make calls.
Am going to reflash this evening and pay for Titanium so that I can freeze the apps rather than remove.

I just found out one thing you "lose" when removing mediascape, you will not be able to use a picture as a wallpaper as the system uses mediascape for it.
There's a way to workaround it though, you just need to put the picture you wanna set as wallpaper in the etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/android/wallpaperchooser/wallpaper folder and with that you don't need to crop the picture anymore like when you use mediascape...
Easier way to set wallpapers: Use Wallpaper Set and Save from the market (free)
these are all the drawbacks I found when uninstalling MediaScape (lifted from my customizer thread):
MediaScape
apk: mediascape MediaScapePluginManager
Drawbacks:
Camera App is hard-coded to use Mediascape for Gallery/Share.
Vignette Does well but doesn't help in Video mode.
Means: No easy sharing/viewing for taken videos
No easy way to create a wallpaper from taken pictures.
No way to set contact picture from phonebook. Need to go through Gallery3D instead.
I got rid of mediascape once (on 2.1) and the biggest minus for me was that you can't get high quality picture set for contacts in phone book menu; you actually can't set contact pics through regular edit contact menu at all-you have to use stock gallery but as I said no hq pics, just big blur
Free X10!

Problem:
I cannot add/delete/edit/open any of my contacts using the stock contacts manager. I get the force close on the (proccess com.motorola.contacts).
Phone setup:
Unlocked and rooted
Superuser, Busybox, CPU tuner, CWM v5.0.0.6, RomRacer as well (all free versions)
System 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US (2.3.4)
radio N_01.77.37P
kernel Faux .024
OK... Before the flames are turned on... Yes I have tried lots of the "solutions" to this and NO, they did not work.
Backtrack.
I froze the updater to stop the 15 minute reminder about the OTA. I believe that was when this started, I am not entirely sure since I do not often add/edit contacts.
I unfroze the updater, restart, no change
I had tried to use the Yahoo mail client, saw something about it... reloaded it and unloaded it. restart no change
I've since loaded the Go contacts/dialer... No edit function there either, at least it does not crash.
So, What I think I need to do, and have not found anywhere, is to replace the Contacts files from a blank/stock system and then repopulate the data from an import.
Has this been done? Does anyone know how to do this?
Also, I am fine doing it manually via whatever needs to be done... and I can follow instructions.

Yahoo is a system app with the official build, so downloading Yahoo and installing it wont work. Try pulling it from a 2.3.4 build and pushing the apk to your phone. This is why using TiBu to backup and freeze apps is good.

There are a number of apps which cause contacts to FC when you try to add or edit e contact. They are all tied in to contacts. You may not see an issue until you try to add or edit a contact. If you have FC with add or edit contact, best to unfreeze everything, then go through freezing apps one at a time until you start to get FC again, then you know what apps give the problem. I know Yahoo and/or Yahoo authenticator can be one which causes the FC problem if frozen or uninstalled.
Frozen
As said before.... The only thing I ever froze was the Updater.
Installed (crashed system) and removed Skype
Installed and removed Yahoo mail
Nothing else...
I am looking for a way to remove/replace the contact files and database, install a system new/empty structure and repopulate it, if at all possible.
If, from what attention I've gotten is true, apparently, there is no way to do this short of a full system wipe and restart...
Am I correct?
You could import from a VCard format. The following may help if I understand what you are looking for correctly:
http://code.google.com/p/vcardio/
If your contacts come from your Google account, you would have to disable syncing of contacts there, (or from wherever else they are coming from), and then delete them manually. Then you could import the new contact database.
I'll give it a go...
CaelanT.... Thanks, I'll look at what you gave me and see if it will work.
Just tried GB_AtrixMix_v1_by_otogy2002 - 2.3.6 STOCK ROM this weekend and I was able to fully edit the contacts. So my nagging assumption was correct, it is the contacts application in the stock 4.5.91... en.us rom that is the culprit, not actually my contacts themselves.
So, again, short of dropping another ROM on it and having to reload my applications (not really trusting of backup and restore of apps into a different ROM)...
Does anyone know how to fix my issue?
Do you have any apps that you have frozen?

There lies the problem. I did the same and nothing would work to fix. Had to rsd lite the stock sbf to get it working again. I was stocked rooted only, no unlocked bootloader at the time, running the stock rom/radio/kernel that came installed on the phone.
I was hoping there is someone somewhere who will read this and know how to replace the contacts application in the .91 ATT US stock ROM... I may have to ask, dare I say it.... Motorola support, and not mention the rooted and unlocked part...

Worst case I wait and hope for ICS from Motorola, since a ROM overlay fixes it.
Thanks All!
Kenneth Penn is another Blurophile. Dunno how active he is with him moderating XDA now though. Worth a try PM'ing him too.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Basically the Blur Contacts app calls on a ton of other dependant apks such as yahoo, activesync, work contacts and so forth. And not having one of these apks will lead to FCs when trying to edit a contact. So like previous users said, do not freeze or uninstall any of these or else you'll mess it up. If it has contact in the name or is associated with a service that syncs contacts let it be.
OK...
I guess I'll just bang around some ROM's until I find one I like and wait out ICS from Motorola for us.

If you has not fixed it yet let me know .I had the same problem cause I uninstalled yahoo contacts 2.3.6 and had the same problem as you.But fortunately I made a back up before uninstalling so I installed it again and the problem solved.please email me at mh.mithun AT Gmail . com if you need the app.
I'm looking for an app that deletes sms message after a set period of time. I used to used SMS Cleaner Pro however it no longer works since I'm now running a JB ROM. Does anyone know of an app that will do this simple automated task as I'm yet to find one that works?
Ideally i want a minimalist app with the sole purpose to delete any sms older than a week to keep my inbox tidy, cheers.
No suggestions?

I think you can set sms limit in JB.

Hi, yeah you can set limits to the number of texts per conversation, however I'm looking for an automated way to delete messages by time
Maybe 'history eraser' at play Store

Again Go SMS just does as the stock JB messaging app does and deletes messages when a maximum number is exceeded per conversation, unfortunately not what I'm looking for, thanks for the response and screenshot though
I think I get what u think in ur mind, u want an app that clean ur obsoleted sms sort by time u received.. But I never seen an app like that out there.. Jb sms n go sms both auto delete msg sort by amount,. Maybe u can send an request to go sms developer to add that feature..

Was this request ever filled? Did you find an app to do what your asking? If not, I'm down to make one. I've been looking for new app ideas to make.

Yea. I actually made one. I just didn't finish it, I think. It had alot of options...
Delete older than...
Delete sent/received
Truncate to set size of messages
Delete messages with certain keyword
Do any of these for a specific number or for all numbers.
Probably more, I just can't remember. Ill check it out here shortly and see if its working or incomplete.

Sorry I got busy that day and forgot. Didn't remember until now. If you want to test what I have now, download this. It doesn't actually delete anything, it creates a log of what it did. View the log, which is minimalistic, and tap each one to see its full message detail. I did it this way because I want to give the users the ability to test and make sure its working correctly for them first. Plus, without actually deleting the messages, the process is super fast. The actual delete process does take some time. Which brings me to my next topic...
Before releasing a version that is fully functional, ill have to reconfigure some code. As of right now, everything is done in the screen. If you turn off the screen, or it times out, during its deleting process then it will be paused until the screen comes back on. And no one wants to have to leave their screen on while it does this, as the processes can take up to a few hours depending on how many your deleting. So its a change I must make.
Also, the autorun function hasn't been implemented yet. Good new is if your a user of my Bing app, then you know I already know how to do this. So it can and will be added!
I am still new to writing android apps, so I try my best to learn new things daily by bringing new features and fixes to to my current apps. So all suggestions and ideas for new features, or apps, are always welcome.

May I suggest an app that works with Tasker? Then it can easily be scheduled
It could be, but I haven't attempted to make anything to work for tasker yet. When this is complete, you would want to use the autorun feature included anyways. As it will have multiple options such as running daily, weekly, auto trim, and others, all with the option of choosing all, or specific, contacts.

Sounds pretty good. But autorun would require a service running. So that's where it's handy for guys like me already having Tasker running.
