He is asking about uninstalling the bloatwares, SE craps that Sony Ericsson loads with firmware..
(e.g. - Demo apps like peggle, wisepilot etc.)

PcCompanion.apk?
I hate that nagging screen on usb.

Just in case you Pro users don't get over to the mini side very often..

this worked on my mini, and it also removed the annoying option to install PC companion on your PC every time you plug in the USB.
also moving all the .ogg ringtones, alarms and notification sounds from system/media/audio to the equivalent folders on the SD card frees up another 4MB or so.
(I have navigon installed on me phone which takes up about 20MB of internal memory so every MB I can squeeze out of internal memory is a real bonus)
Can someone please rip TtsService.apk and .odex from KG3? I accidentally uninstalled when trying to remove Samsung Tts.
Thanks!
I thought I would at least get this thread started. Now that I have all my apps installed again and complete backup of HC done, I am going to start "trimming the fat" from the rom. I will post the apps that I remove that don't cause problems. Everyone feel free to post yours as well.

I just froze them in TB. I am taking baby steps to make sure they are safe to remove, if after a few days I see know problems then I might delete them. At this point I have no shortage of space, no urgent need to make extraroom by deleting. Rather be safe than sorry.

Also all the keyboards as I use thumbkeyboard...

Sense usually has a big problem when you remove some of those apps, so I hope that you made a titanium backup at the minimum. The apps I deleted I also have backups of, thus far, no problems.

@elaguila, hey man could you update the OP with these, separating which ones can be deleted with no issues and those that can be frozen? Thanks for starting this thread btw
Compiled list of HC Apps
OK, so I took the liberty of reviewing each post in this thread and compiling a list (seen below). I then went hunting for the actual APK names, but since I am still really green to the world of ROMs, rooting and such any assistance in confirming these are the correct APKs for what you have already frozen/deleted would be much appreciated.
I also have columns for Safe to Freeze and Safe to Delete; if you run into issues after performing either action send me a PM with the Item#, what action was taken (freeze/delete) and I will update the list. Also, if you have anything to add to the list, send me a PM with NEW APP and the APK name, and if you have it, whether it was safe to freeze or remove and I will add it to the list.

Thanks! Can you tell me if it was Calendar.apk or Calendar-Provider.apk? Once I know I'll update the list.
Hi!
I've finally managed to root and update my Xperia S. Now it's time to remove some bloatware, but I have no idea what is save to remove. When I had the Xperia Arc I had found a list of bloatware but I don't find one for the Xperia S.

Firstly, SEARCH the forums and READ. I spent about 10 minutes and was able to find a lot of information about the question you are asking. The other thing is, if you don't know what something is or what it does, and more importantly, how to fix it when it breaks the rest of your phone DO NOT TOUCH!!
A lot of what you have listed isnt what I would consider all bloatware. Its Android system apps as well as definite bloatware. If you are after a completely stock experience devoid of bloat consider flashing CM9 (ICS) or CM10 (JB - experiemental at this stage though) as it will be safer than removing apps you don't know anything about :good:
Also, don't just delete any apps - use an app like Titanium or Rom Toolbox Pro to freeze apps - that way you can restore them if you need to do a factory data reset and start again since you are still on stock. If you just plan on flashing already modified ROM's make a nandroid backup of the stock rom and flash away.
My personal method for stopping any apps from running I don't need is with Root Explorer and I add .bak after the file or apk - that way its still there should I want to do a full factory reset without drama's and it prevents the app from unfreezing or causing problems by just removing it.
Before you do ANYTHING however, make a full nandroid backup of your system!
AntHalService - ANT+ service - heart rate monitors etc. Do not remove if you use such apps and addons.
AntStateNotifier - ANT+ service - heart rate monitors etc. Do not remove if you use such apps and addons.
ApplicationsProvider - Applications Service Provider (ASP) personally I would leave it
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter - Bookmarks Sync - only remove if you don't sync your bookmarks with Google.
Facelock - Security app - safer to leave installed.
FbCalendarSync - Xperia Facebook Integration - Only remove if you don't sync Calendar app with Facebook
FBIAppShare - Xperia Facebook Integration
FBMediaDiscovery - Xperia Facebook integration
FBMusicLike - Xperia Facebook Intergration
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter - Calendar sync - Only remove if you don't sync Calender to Google server
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter - Contacts sync - Only remove if you don't sync Contacts to Google server
GoogleLyricsPlugin - Walkman plug in
GooglePartnerSetup - Unknown, safer to leave installed.
HTMLViewer - Unknown, safer to leave installed. (Depends on where you look as some say safe, others unsafe...your call)
Keychain - security app, from my understanding provideds method for managing certificates etc. Safer to leave installed.
LearningClient - Learns user typed words from keyboard, only remove if you don't use that function.
MediaProvider - Media storage, ringtones, music, notifications. Do Not Remove.
MediaUploader - Media uploads, but will cause errors with media playback (won't work) if disabled/removed. Do Not Remove.
NoiseField - Live Wallpaper
OMAClientProvisioning - OTA Network settings download. Safer to leave installed.
OMADownload - OTA Network settings download. Safer to leave installed.
OmaV1AgentDownloadServices - OTA Network Settings download. Safer to leave installed.
OneTimeInitializer - Unsure, but has something to do with Play Store. Safer to leave installed.
PhaseBeam - Live Wallpaper
PicoTts - SVOX Text to Speech - Only remove if you don't use navigation, translators etc.
PowerSaveModule - Unknown - Personally I have stopped it with no issues.
ReadyToRun - Unsure - Google/XDA Search reveals that its tied in with surface flinger and/or SMS message retention, either way safer to leave.
RemoteControlService - Decide for yourself: http://developer.sonymobile.com/2012/02/29/new-remote-control-service-on-xperia-smartphones-video/
SecureClockJava - web clock service needed by DRM
SemcClock - Clock and Alarm - Only remove if you want to use a third party clock and alarm app.
SemcCnapProvider - Required by System Do Not Remove - again, quick Google/XDA Search reveals this is tied in with baseband,dialing features.
SemcContactsProvider - Contacts Storage - Unsure, personally I would leave it, unless you use a third party app.
SemcDlna - Media Server
SemcDlnaHandover - Media Server
SemcMusic - Walkman
SemcPws - Unsure - Safer to leave
SemcSetupWizard - The initial startup screen when you first boot into your phone when its new or factory reset.
SemcTvLauncher - Connecting to TV
SemcVideo - Video Player
SettingsProvider - Stores your settings - Do Not Remove
Stk - Sim Tool Kit
Storefront - thirdparty apps installer, I have removed this without issue.
Tag - Used by NFC
Talk - Google Talk
TalkBack - Talkback - Accesibility Options - Personally I remove it.

Here is my list of apps I have succesfully 'frozen' without issue on my device. I sit happily with around 280-320mb of free ram (but in Android thats not such a big deal anyway as any unsued ram is just not doing anything.) I also have disabled fast-dormancy as my provider doesnt support it properly yet and having it on the device can cause battery drain problems. I don't use Timescape at all so its all removed. I also disable the following as well for fast-dormancy:

Again best thing is, if you do not understand what something does leave it alone! As I found with a quick bit of searching many people have different opinions as to what actually constitutes 'bloatware' so don't follow blindly or you may brick your phone!!
I am not responsible for any errors, heartache, bricking, or otherwise problems you may have as a result of the above advice.
You mean simply adding .bak to any apk would freeze it??
Can you just give me an example??
Use the thank button, it's there for a reason

The list of apps I provided above - I use Root Explorer and simply rename each like this:
From: EventStream.apk
To: EventStream.apk.bak
Changes the actual icon of the file - you could put anything after .apk and it will prevent them from running as its no longer a valid file format for Android. BUT..best thing is it stays where it is originally located, and it doesn't lose its permissions either.
Bit more fiddling around than Rom Toolbox or Titanium but I prefer to pick and chose what I am doing and rather read about each .apk as I go through them one by one. Also allows me to do the same thing to any .odex file that may be there as well.

You ain't right with the drm apps. It's the same thing DivX like

You can easily delete it.

Or the samsung gn is based on another rules?

I don't think so. The drm apps have no influence, like you've written. It's only charge your system and drain battery.
