Can you safely uninstal Backup and Restore default app? It gets on my nerves because it keeps running, and if I kill it, the whole phone reboots. But it reall needs to be safe because removing Talk already messed up my ability to download from Market.
Thanks.
Yes you can, you will have no problem after removing it.
About Google Talk... you can remove Google Talk but you must NOT remove gtalkservice cause the market app wont work after that (as you already said).
I always remove the following apps:
backupandrestore
datatrafficswitch.apk
facebook
GeoTag
Google Maps
Google Maps (Street)
Google Talk
neoreader
officelauncher
officeupdateservice
pccompanion
Peggle
playnowappinstaller
playnowback
playnowclient
ReadyToRun
roadsync
semcemailsmall
SEMCSetupWizard
SnsContactImageCacheProvider
stk
sync
syncwizard
timescapepluginmanager
timescapeprovider
Timescape-smallui
trackid
uWlopProvider
VoiceSearch

By the way, i'm using Flashtool application to remove the abovementioned apps.
I just use Root Uninstaller from Market because I'm a dummy. Can't learn the heavier stuff for the life of me.
So I will upadte servce to fix my phone and do it all again.
If DID in fact remove Talk And Talk service! So if I leave the service alone it should be fine?
Since you seem very knowledgeable, I also removed default sms app and delivery reports in Handcent stopped working. Is it best I leave default app alone?
Thanks so much!
(Oh, btw, I was told to leave sync alone?)

Yep, gtalkservice is needed by Market so you should just remove Google Talk.
Unfortunately i cant answer your question about sms but it seems logical to leave the default sms app alive and kicking in your phone.
The 2 sync services are the ones who are used by the SonyEricsson Sync Service which i dont use at all!
Google mail/contacts/calendar work normally including PCCompanion/Outlook sync.
PS: I'm really a noob you know. I just like sharing the little things i know!
Interesting, I have removed both Google Talk Service and Google Talk Storage and I can still download from the market.

Storage or service?
I uninstalled both with Titanium Backup
Lucky ladies! My market stopped working without gtalkservice.
@xeperiaforme:
Have you tried to copy the conversations.apk using Root Explorer to the /system/app folder and set the permissions similar to what the other applications have: rw-r--r-- ? You then have to reboot your phone.
The same with gtalk and gtalk service provider.
Untill you manage to get the stock messaging back you can do this (I have checked this by removing the stock messaging on my phone and sensing an sms from handcent to another turned off phone and got the delivery report when that phone was turned on; until then, the sms status was pending):
For delivery reports in Handcent, don't use the handcent menu - delivery rpt.
Instead go to the handcent menu - settings - notification settings - sent notifications - check "notify when message is received (needs carrier support)".
Then go to Receive message settings - check "Delivery reports" and uncheck Handcent delivery report.
If you notice the time stamps on the delivery reports are not correct because you are in a different time zone, the use the "set delivery report offset" to add or remove hours

Do the 2 sync srvices run on it's own and drain battery or did you just remove it because of freeing space?
For space mostly but they might consume some phone resources as well.
Oh thanks again And what are these for?:
semcemailsmall
SEMCSetupWizard
SnsContactImageCacheProvider
uWlopProvider
semcemailsmall --- sonyericsson email app (not gmail)
SEMCSetupWizard --- first boot setup wizard
SnsContactImageCacheProvider --- timescape
uWlopProvider --- timescape
there you go!!!

Here are some system applications from my stock 2.1 backup. Unzip the zip on your sd card and copy the apks you might have deleted to your /system/app folder. Don't forget to set proper permissions for the copied apks.
Thanks to both of you
Good stuff

sent from this midget x10 mini pro using cm7.2.3.3 14.5
you can delete conversations.apk from system/app folder
and rename handcent.apk to conversations.apk and push it to system/folder
with permisions r-w-r-r.
for me its way easier with root explorere, its all in phone, no computer required
Hi,
Is there any way to restore the Calendar Stock honeycomb application please? TouchWiz's calendar is VERY slow and the UI looks ugly and cluttered!
Thanks in advance
I too would be very interested on how to bring back a few aosp apps/widgets.
Namely the aosp email widget.
YAY
After a couple of hours searching and nothing turning up, I decide to have a poke around in system.
I copied Email.apk and Exchange.apk from task & phantoms ex-stock rom and installed them via root explorer. attempted to launch and i got a force close. turns out previous data was causing problems, but i used titanium to delete data. and it works a peach!
Finally got rid of that hideous email widget!
and it works with the calendar app too.
how:
0. Nandroid backup!
1. install root explorer and titanium backup
2. extract the aosp apks to somewhere in your 'sdcard'
3. use root explorer to copy and paste the apks into system/app.
4. Use titanium back up to wipe data from the email and/or calendar app.
5. reboot (not sure if this is necessary)

Wow thanks a million, that worked great! Reboot is not required
Um, seemed to work with email, but got sync errors with calendar after changing apks....
And it would be great if the contacts app could also be changed to stock HC
Maybe a dev can make an update zip?
OK
i tried again and changing Email back to HC-stock works perfectly without any problem.
but changing Calendar to HC-stock with the files attached to this thread results in sync error both with Email (Exchange) and Gmail...
too bad. I (as many I think) really don't like the touchwiz apps, and wish it would just be HC-stock apps (Email, Calendar, Contacts...)

need to delete all activesync accounts
wipe app data either in settings or with Titanium
reboot
remove TW apks for Mail, contacts and calendar (if you have no done it)
copy and paste HC default apks for the above
reboot
Enjoy
Ok. I will try that.
You mention contacts... Do you have the non-TW contacts apks?

I took the email and contacts apk from DocRambone's Slim V6.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198921) and the calendar one from this thread. They work no issues in overcome rom.
It doesn't work for me.
I followed your guide by the letter
- Email works, but have a dysfunctional unread counter over the app icon now
- calendar works, but wouldn't accept gmail or email for syncing. In accounts and syncing calendar appears as com.calendar.... not as Calendar
- contacts doesn't even setup the app shortcut and is not in the app list in titanium. In accounts and syncing contacts appears as com.contacts.... not as Contacts

How are you moving apks in and out of the app folder?
And what rom are you on?

I've been using happily using back up to gmail, however on a recent rom change the restore is proving a little frustrating, there's 4000 messages to restore and it keeps dying well before that.
I wondered if there was a way to manually do this, i obviously have the emails in my gmail account, can i drag and drop them anywhere on the phone to do a manual restore??
Thanks
Ben
Try "my backup" pro or root from market.

Well , This Method works for sure for any messaging app...
Choose and install any Backup & Restore App from Google Play.
Click on Backup to Backup your SMSes.
The progress bar while backing up your messages will show how many SMSes you have (to be backed up) xD
That way you get to know how many SMSes you have sent and received

It will back ALL your messages each time you use it. Not sure if you can backup your new incoming messages only without backing everything up again with this app.
Each time you backup your messages with this app , it will be independent of the previous backup. Each time it ONLY depends on the messages you currently have (not the deleted ones)
If you want that only your new messages get backed up , I have one more app for you. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&hl=en
This backups all your messages to your Gmail account.
But the thing is that if you have backed up a message on Gmail through this app , and if you delete it on your phone , the message will stay in Gmail.
That means , that this app backs up your messages and NOT syncs messages.
With this app if you back up on Monday you will back up 20 messages and not everything unlike the previous app.

It's the best APP, no error or something. + autobackup settings
I think this one with gmail will work.thank you both for helping
So I want to remove the G mail app from my phone or at least not use it. This is more of a privacy issue. I want to use a full featured app like K-9 where I can set a master password so users that I lend my phone to momentarily dont start going into my inbox and other folders.
So is there a way to totally remove the gmail app. If not will just removing my account info from the gmail app (if possible) also unsync me from the other Google services connected to my phone?
Thank you
Root phone.
Download root uninstaller.
Uninstall Gmail from app.

You could disable sync in settings. This app may be of some use. If your device is rooted, you can use a root uninstaller app (as mentioned) to remove it (or you could simply delete it from /system/app/ - root still required.)
Just make a backup of the app (incase u need it in future) b4 deleting it from system/app.
