I cant seem to find a hard fact answer, i have androids default gallery and music player.
Using titanium backup you can freeze then try one day, android if nothing happend you can make a backup and deleted
I did that with timescape n moxiermail, never try mediascape butano thats then way you should try

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 Have deleted both Timescape and Mediascape completely. With no problems that i have found..

Confirmed, I did it the same way.
I didn't removed mediascape coz' the stock camera app won't play your vids if you delete mediascape .

I can confirm that.. why delete anyways, just freeze
How to freeze it?
Get titanium backup pro and click on the app, and you'll see the option to freeze...

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

I was able to navigate to this folder through root explorer, (I am rooted), but how do I drop my pics in the phone's wallpaper folder?
Thanks!

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 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?

Messaging app.
I have frozen default message app with Titanium backup and I was unable to send and receive MMS (using Handcent). So, I dont recommend to uninstall it.
Struggling to replace dodgy gallery with quickpic on JB 4.1.2 so that the camera uses quickpic as the default viewer.
Tried freezing gallery, when I click on photo in camera nothing happens. Set default app for photos to be quickpic and the camera still uses gallery.
Any ideas. ..?

The first thing I do with a new device is ditch the Gallery in favor of QuicPic.
If you're rooted, no problem just delete the Gallery. If not, go to Settings/Applications/All/Gallery/ and click on Clear Defaults. Next time you view a picture select QuickPic and click on Clear Defaults.

If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.

Thanks guys but not working. Uninstalled gallery. Clicked on a picture, chose quickpic, cleared defaults. When I click on a photo using the camera nothing happens, it's like the camera is hardcoded to use old gallery.will try installing stock camera and trying that

Is it possible to rename quickpic to the same name as old gallery and put it in the system folder?

Thats my question too, but with the nexus 4 gallery.
any solution?
-anyone tried the renaming idea, as suggested?
My guess is the two apps function differently and so google has changed our ability to use quickpic from the JB camera. Why? Think about it - if you use the camera from the lockscreen by swiping to the right, you can take a pic and review it without entering a password and unlocking your phone. But reviewing a pic this way gives you very limited options (eg you CANNOT set it as wall paper, nor can you email it or send it, which if you Could, would be a sneaky security flaw that would enable access into a locked device).
This means google has rewritten gallery to function differently according to whether it has been accessed via the camera from the lockscreen or whether you have accessed the camera after unlocking the device.
Quickpic probably doesn't have that ability, but I wish it DID!
I dunno - MAYBE WE ALL SHOULD EMAIL THE MAKERS OF QUICKPIC AND REQUEST THAT IT BE UPDATED SO AS T WORK WITH THE STOCK CAMERA?
Quickpic is an awesome app and it's way better than the stock gallery app!
when you disable gallery in apps manager it disables both the gallery and camera which means that their obvously linked together. they are both separate apks but still both part of the same app therefore meaning that it wouldnt really be possible to do it i dont think unless you were to modify the gallery app yourself you might be able to do it but would be hard XD from what i can think the camera apk kinda acts like a link if you think about it as opposed to its own app.
QuickPic cannot view TIFF files. I have alot of them copied from my PC to the SD card and cannot find a viewer that can see both those and the Jpegs. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello
I'm a noob with a rooted HTC One that I just bought. I have very little experience with rooted phones. Never owned one before and never rooted anything.
My phone is working well except that when I take pictures or video, they disappear. They don't show in the gallery. I can find them in the file system using a file explorer. I cannot make new Gallery folders either. I tried installing 3rd party apps and they don't work either. Maybe the file system did not get properly configured. Is there a way to do a fresh reinstall of the default Gallery app? Or are you aware of a Gallery app that will completely install its own system that might work?
I am on android 4.3.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike
Try quickpic, it's free in the playstore.. Not sure what's going on with your gallery to be honest. But I only ever use quickpic gallery on my phones..

I accidently deleted, and I don't even know how, a stock photo editor, so if somebody could just upload a backup for this apk, or give me a link, i would be most thankfull
Same problem.I install Quick Gallery problem solved....
Thanks, but that's not what I want. I'm looking for the editor that comes with the phone (lg g2 mini), i really liked it, it has some cool features and i'd like it back... And btw, is that editor comes within the gallery app or those two are separate apps?
I think you need google+ app installed to edit pictures in stock.
I know it sounds strange, it's Google making you use their products

There's a world of difference between enabled and installed.
When I uninstall it the editing features are gone, reinstalling brings the feature back.

I use an album called quick pic, you can "hide" folders which is handy because there is not a great deal I hate more than having album covers in my pictures folder.
Cannot create new folders though due to 4.4.4 sd write protection
Quick pic is very nice app, but it's really annoying when you have a lot of albums and you have to wait for thumbnails to load each time.
