Okay so i have been cleaning out the unwanted samsung junk from my handset ( yeah i checked whats safe to remove.
i uninstalled the EMAIL app (not Gmail) and android says the application EMAIL "process com.sec.android.widgetapp has stopped unexpectedly, force close on every boot.
i dont even want to have the widget running, is there away to uninstall that widget or cause the system to not call for that function ?
anyideas ?
i can't remove the emailwidget.apk or emailwidget.odex from /system/app
** Solved - Removed email app via clockwork mod that reappeared after reboot and after doing ;
delete("/system/app/Emailwidget.apk");
delete("/system/app/Emailwidget.odex")**
Do9n't quote me on this, but I think I remember someone on the SGS forum who did this, and found out the email app was needed to keep the camera working.
As stated, not sure and possibly irrelevant anyway...

Believe or not, I have managed to root my phone. It is a big success for a dummy!
I have downloaded Root Uninstaler form Market and would like to get rid of some junk apps. Junk for me because I don't need them.
I SWEAR I have SEARHED, but some poeple had problems after uninstalling and some not and I am CONFUSED. So please help me, this is way out of my league and I can't screw it up.
I also don't have access to a pc where pc companion, super one click etc work, I had to BEG a friend and I don't want to do that again so I can't simply reinstal software everytime I mess something up.
So please, let me know if I can remove
-Timescape stuff without loss of funcionality to sms, contacts, calls ( I just hate Twitter and Facebook)
-Talk (it is Gmail talk right?) without losing Market
-Backup and restore- the default one-I hate it because it keeps running on its own, even though I did not set it too.
-Default input? This keeps running too
-Device monitor
-Uwlop service
-default music player
I obviously can't delete Messagin if I want sms to work? But it kees running too even if I dont get any sms etc.
And come to think of it, I don't really need gmail either.
Please, someone with knowledge, reply. I have searched but I can't find my way arounf here well and i am really confused.
Yes, i use systemapp uninstaller from the market. there are some more of the sys apps which can be removed, such as play now too.
-Timescape stuff without loss of funcionality to sms, contacts, calls ( I just hate Twitter and Facebook) YES
-Talk (it is Gmail talk right?) without losing Market YES
-Backup and restore- the default one-I hate it because it keeps running on its own, even though I did not set it too. PROBABLY TRY IT
-Default input? This keeps running too DONT KNOW
-Device monitor DONT KNOW
-Uwlop service DONT KNOW
-default music player PROBABLY

Check X10 mini wiki page. It has a list of applications you can safely remove. Of course it is always better to have backups before removing system apps.
To uninstall timecape for example there are several things you need to uninstall: timescape provider, timescape plugin, timescape, sns provider and sns cache provider.
I your place i wouldn't mess with default input as changing keyboards might b above your level at this moment. Perhaps later when you feel more comfortable.
Thanks sofar you guy, your info helped a bit.
At the wiki page some things are not metioned.
Including backup and restore and everything to do with sync.
semchekin servce?
I think backup and restore can be deleted, but i'd leave semccheckin and anything to do with syncing.
Ok thanks.
So far I haven't wrecked anything.
Now this just leaves default SMS application. What if I uninstall this?
If you use handcent, i think you can delete stock messaging.
If you use go sms, then you have to keep stock messaging app, because go sms uses some stock messaging functions.
You can delete default music player if you have a replacement, but most music players will start running on their own.
I use Handcent. Thank you, you have been of great help.
Be carefull!
I'm pretty sure deleteing default sms app made me lose delivery reports in Hnadcent sms and removing Talk made me lose ability to download in Market
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
wisepilot
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!!!
and some more details here

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
So, I upgraded to HKTW 2.3.4 and went through TiBu to debloat a bit.
To my frustration, every time I open a contact, I get a FC for contact manager:
"android process com.motorola.contacts has stopped working"
Thinking it was the beta build, I reflashed several times. Turns out its certain apps in TiBu that cause it. Now of course, I didn't freeze "contacts" or anything obvious.. but I froze the following that caused the error (I did one by one to see what it was):
Ypmobile
Yahoo mail authenticator
I have no yahoo mail nor do I use the yellow pages app. If I freeze either one (or sometimes both) of these, I get a FC every time with my contact manager. Anyone know why?
Thanks
Ok I have read that Gmail is not a very stable app, and people often complain it crashes, but there's a limit!
I had it installed by default, then removed it after root, then decided to install it again as I needed to check my mail more often.
Every time, every damn time I do ANYTHING, Gmail crashes. You probably know the usual message "com.google.android.gm stopped unexpectedly", I get it when I boot the phone, when I enable data, when I disable data, when I open the browser, when I close the browser, when I enable google account sync, when I disable it, and of course when I try and open Gmail. The fact is, the process crashes even when I don't use Gmail (I checked and it's not in the 'being used' processes list, but when I open the browser or enable data it crashes from nowhere).
I have already tried wiping cache and data, uninstalling updates (but for some reason it uninstalls the whole app), and uninstalling/reinstalling it several times, but I only managed to make it work ONCE (then after that unique mail sent, crashes again). Is there a way to stop this madness?
I have an Xperia Mini st15i with rooted 2.3.4 and stock stuff, if it can help.
Did you take a backup of the stock Gmail app before you removed it? Did you install that one and then updated or did you install directly from the market?
In addition, have you tried clearing the data of Google Services Framework? I read somewhere that clearing its data can help resolve issues in Google apps.
I don't have a backup of the stock one, I reinstalled directly from market =(. I'll try clearing that data then =)
Don't worry if you don't have the stock Gmail.apk. If clearing the services framework doesn't work, search Google for the stock Gmail.apk of your android version, install it, then convert it to system app and link it to the market using titanium backup and then update it. If you can't find it, contact me. Post how it goes.

Hi
I have a Motorola XT319 Android 2.3
I tried to save some space linking (LINK2SD) the contacts app and contact storage app.
I first had to Move them to user app (as they were system apps) and then proceeded to link. All went well but when I tried to open the PHONE app y will NOT load. Nor the CONTACTS app. I tried to UNlink it and switch it back to system app but it wouldn't.
I can't make any phone calls. PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!
Problem Update
I got no answers so far so I deleted all cache and data files and restablished factoru settings. Since reboot, I keep getting to error messages, One recarding android.process.acome and the other Google Frameworks. They keep poping up over and over. The dialer will know load, but the contacts WILL NOT.
Contact Sync is IMPOSIBLE and even though I unselect the sync option, the errors keep poping up.
I believe the problem has someting to do with the contact app.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
