Is it safe to remove/replace these apks? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've flashed the startburst rom. But following apps are overwritten by the ones pre-installed in US tab. Can I just delete them from /system/app and replace them with original ones?
AxT9IME.apk (Samsung keyboard, doesn't support Chinese input, which I need to type with keyboard dock connected)
MediaHub.apk (payment required, useless)
MusicHub.apk (can't open in China)
DigitalClock.apk (can't display Chinese correctly)
SamsungWidget_StockClock.apk (can't find Chinese stock)
SamsungWidget_News.apk (displaying only US news)

[TUT] List of System Apps for Xperia Neo stock based firmwares (To remove bloatware)

Feel free to contribute with additions and corrections.
How to delete the junk apps:
Use titanium backup pro, or a root file explorer like root explorer, ghost commander, file expert...
Go into "system/app" with Root Explorer, in that folder are all the junk apps. Now press "Mount R/W". Now you can delete the junk apps one by one or multi-select them. To have a backup of the apps, I'd suggest you to move them to the sd card. It's good to make a folder called "Junk Apps - name of the firmware" on your sd card.
Now select the apps, press move and go to the sd card and to the folder "Junk Apps - name of the firmware" and press paste. Done.
WARNING: Rooting and removing System apps is at personal choice and risk of lost of warranty and damaging the phone.
WARNING: Always make a complete backup of ALL the system apps before removing any in case of accidental deletion.
DISCLAIMER: This is only a reference guide. I will bear no responsibilities if by referencing this guide through your own discretion damages your phone in any way.
Apps that are unsafe to remove or are linked to phone's capabilities:
(Keep them if you want access to all of your phone's features.)
Note: Many of these only run when needed while a few of them are persistent services that are about 1mb sizes. While removing them may give you a few mb more, keeping them is rather insignificant.
Note: Some of them can also be removed if you have replaced or removed the main app they are tied to, but read the descriptions carefully!

Can be replaced:
(These apps can be safely removed and be replaced by preferred third party apps of the same function.)
Warning: Sony Ericsson's home launcher should not be removed until after another third party home launcher has been installed and properly set up to take over it's function.
Note: Depending on the third party calendar app of choice, it may be advisable to setup your calendars using the default calendar app before removing it.
Note: Most third party messaging apps cannot send and receive MMS if the stock messaging app is removed.
Note: Removing the default clock widget will also remove the alarm feature. Ensure your clock of choice has alarms or have another alarm app installed.
Browser.apk --- default web browser
Calendar.apk --- default calendar
Conversations.apk --- default messaging
Home.apk --- default home launcher
SemcDeskClock.apk --- default clock and alarm
SemcEmail.apk --- default email app
SemcGallery3D.apk --- default gallery
SemcMusic.apk --- default music player
textinput-tng.apk --- default keyboard
Updating of System apps:
Unlike user apps, when system apps get updated, the original apk in /system/app cannot be replaced automatically. Hence the newer version will be installed as a user app in /data/app.
To save space on your rom, the original ones in /system/app can be deleted. Or, you can manually replace the newer ones from /data/app to /system/app.
Deleting the ones in /system/app is recommended since future updates will replace them and saves space on the rom.
Warning: It is safer to remove System apps from /System/App after you have updated them.
Note: Doing either method for facebook.apk will cause you to lose your facebook contacts. However, they can be restored by launching the facebook app, press back button, then menu button > Settings > Sync Contacts. You will also have to manually resync the ones that have been manually added using 'Join Contacts' as well.
Note: The exception is AdobeFlashPlayer.apk. Manually moving it to /system/app will not work. It only works when it's properly installed. So, simply delete the one in /system/app instead. And if it stops working, simply tap the one in /data/app to reinstall it properly.
Note: Having only one instance of Android Market will also fix the bug where some users' Market will not correctly show all the apps that are installed under 'My apps'.
Note: If you use the copy and paste method, you need to set the permissions for the APK after moving. Permissions: Check all for Read, check Owner for Write, leave the rest unchecked.
The apks currently with updates are:
facebook.apk --- Facebook
com.whatsapp.apk --- Whatsapp
Maps.apk --- Google Maps
Vending.apk --- Android Market
AdobeFlashPlayer.apk --- Adobe Flash Player
Making User Apps into System Apps:
System and User apps are stored in partitioned memory, meaning they have separate amounts of memory allocated ie. System Storage Memory and User Storage Memory.
There is ~100mb of unused System app storage going to waste.
By making a User app into a System app, you change it's storage location and free up space to allow you to install more User apps. This is done simply by moving the User app to System app storage.
Note: Recommended apps to move can be home launchers, input methods, apps that you want permanently available on the phone ie. without SD card, apps that you don't need to update.
Warning: Caution when moving a system app back to user app! Example: Moving a home launcher from System/App to Data/App breaks it. Your phone will not work without a working home launcher! Restore the default home launcher to System/App before doing it!
Steps:
1. Browse to /data/app and locate the APK you want to move
2. Move* the APK to /system/app
3. Reboot
*If you use the copy and paste method, you need to set the permissions for the APK after moving. Permissions: Check all for Read, check Owner for Write, leave the rest unchecked.
Bloatwares reappearing after reboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326733&page=2
There might be more apps that are removable without bricking the ROM, but then you lose some functions.
Remember to backup. Do this at your own risk. I'm not responsible if you brick or damage your phone!

Thanks man, this will probably save me lots of work !
Thanks for the list!
I do have an inquiry though: I have been uninstalling some bloatware using Titanium Backup, but I have some six apps which incessantly (and magically) reinstall themselves after every reboot. I want them permanently removed, as I don't have any use of them. I've been stuck in this cycle for at least a dozen times now, and I wouldn't want to resort to the "no reboot, no problem" option. Would you happen to know of a way around this? Here's the list of the said apps:
Foursquare
McAfee Security
+Plus
UEFA.com
xl_launcher
Xperia Hot Shots
If it helps, here are some of my phone stats:
MT15i
Rooted, Locked Bootloader
Stock Kernel
Stock ROM (4.0.2.A.0.42)
Thanks in advance!
You have some spelling errors but i'm not going all Grammar Nazi on you
Good work and i find it quite usefull.
Hi,
I've already removed all the bloatware in my Neo with Flashtool thanks to this post.
Very appreciated dude
But there's still an annoying thing I want to remove, it's the data traffic switch in the upper left corner like the image attached.
I've removed the 'datatrafficswitch.apk' but it remains there, although the app is not installed.
Is the 'datatrafficswitch.apk' related to this notification toogle/switch?
If yes, why it's not removed?
And if not, does anyone knows how to remove this crap?

I did some more research, and apparently the unwanted behavior could be traced to the Generic Singapore firmware distro (which I think I have, given that I live in the SE Asian region). I've fortunately found a solution within these forums for this. For those of you who are having the same problem, you might want to check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326733&page=2 (and TS, you might want to add this info to your post).
And oh yeah, I used Ghost Commander for the removal of the apk's (since Root Explorer isn't free and File Expert wasn't able to mount rw in my phone).

No idea, but clearing notifications of the drop down curtain, it disappears temporarily. Use some log viewer to identify when that happens and what apk or jar is involved. Or try to delete that icon. Or simply ignore it, it seems a good solution too.
How did you get circular battery icon? I'd like to know

Check if you have deleted the file "SEMCSetupWizard.apk" I had done the same and after lot of trial and error I found this file is necessary for the lockscreen and for communication via PC companion.
Im attaching the file in case you require, put the same in system/app folder with rr-r--r-- permission.
hope this helps.
Hi dude!
Are you able to update the list with the new apps in firmware v62?
I mean, if it has changed any unnecessary system apps.

(All keyboards are delete-able )
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
You can try to delete these apps too :
Jobmanager.apk (Task Manager , I use this to clear ram , if you never clear ram , delete it) [I havent tried this]
Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk (if u never use calendar you can delete it) [I havent tried this]
DeskClock (Clock and Alarm , sometimes I use this to wake me up , if u never use, delete it) [I havent tried this]
Touchwiz30Launcher.apk (Samsung Touchwiz Launcher , you can delete it after installed other Launcher from market)
SetupWizard.apk (Google account setup, unable to reset/add account once u delete this until u restore it back)
UserDictionaryProvider.apk (Word suggestions for keyboard input )
================================================== =====================
Once you have deleted those .apk ,you can delete .odex too if you're using ODEXED ROM
Eg: If you deleted 1234.apk , you can delete 1234.odex too
================================================== =====================
So now you have deleted a lot of things from ur system , your rom will have a lot of unused storage.
If you have downloaded some replacement app like browser or music player and you DONT WANT them take up ur sd or your internal storage,
you can move them to ROM storage like what I have done.
So far those app which I have tried to move them to ROM storage and they work fine are:
Go Launcher Ex
Google Music (ICS Music player)
PowerAMP
PlayerPro Music Player
Root Explorer
Titanium Backup
Dolphine Browser
File Expert
Chainfire3D
Flashlight
QR Droid (QR Code Scanner)
Facebook
SD Maid
Terminal Emulater
Swype | by : eliazxd
*You can try others app by moving them to /system/app , and SET PERMISSION to RW-R-R
make sure there are no spacebar between the app name if not the app will not be working! eg: Dolphine Brower.apk
After deleting system app , download 'SDMaid' from market or somewhere else.
Run it , delete corpes , system cache , app cache.
Reboot into CWM , clear dalvik cache.
## Bugs Report and any app you have tried to delete and is fine, please tell me =D ##
## IMPORTANT ##
DO NOT DELETE SisoDrmProvider.apk , it may cause some music playing problem and FC !

You don't need a list that's specifically for the galaxy ace.
If you look at the cyanogen one I posted, all the apps that say they can be removed will not cause problems.

[TUT][GUIDE] How to add user dictionary to aosp 4.0.4 keyboard

In AOSP keyboard is EN, DE, ES, FR and IT include, so you dont need any user dictionary.
I will show you, how i make my own hungarian user dictionary in 5 min, with 30.000 words.
What you need:
Rooted 4.0.4
AOSP Keyboard
Root explorer (or similar)
Word list in your language Some list is here: http://udm.adrianvintu.com/, but you can search by google. You can search your frequency list here. I find out, that up to 10.000 word user dictionary don't slow down your keyboard.
For editing db file: sqliteman
At first save some words to user dict in your phone.
Then witth root exploer copy:
data/data/com.android.providers.userdictionary/databases/user_dict.db to sd card, then from sd card copy it to PC
Then run sqliteman. Open user_dict.db
Dubble click on words. Click export data (above wordlist, near „Mona Lisa” See pict. 1.
Choose csv, export to file, add a filename (I added „probe”), Encoding: UTF-8, Line End: MS WINDOWS See pict. 2
Now you have a 'probe' file in the folder you have saved 'user_dict.db'
Open it with notepad, or notepad ++, and replace all ',' with ';' and delete all ”. Save, and rename the file to „probe.csv”
Now you can open it with excel.
In excel you should see somthing like in pict. 3
Open your downloaded worlist add copy all words to column B. Pull down the sequence number, language code, and the other 2 numbers. Save the file.
Delete all rows you had in „user_dict.db”
Now go to sqliteman, and click on Database --> Import table data, then import your edited csv file. In import choose semicolon. Click Ok.
Above wordlist click on „Commit the current transaction int he result table”. It is the icon with the green arrow.
Click File --> Exit.
Now you have a user dictionary with lot of words in your language.
Copy the modded user_dict.db from PC to sd card root, then with root explorer replace orginal file with that one.
Thats it. For me works perfectly.
Ps.: Sorry for my bad english
In these link you can search if your language is supported in keyboard:
LatinIME merged
Now: Hungarian, Persian, Czeh, Ukrainan, Bulgarian, Croatina, Greek is supported.
If AOSP keybord has your language letters, then you can add your user dictionary.
Indonesia please.

Yeah, that would not be a real solution for my case, either.
You see the Greek language can have every single vowel accented. In that case we're talking about too many accented / special characters.
A more appropriate solution would be to be able to change the whole font family, and include one that supports our language's special characters.
Thank for the suggestion, though

2. Download python script tool, extract and copy files to python directory (c:\Python34)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/9bbtxr.../Tool_font.zip
3. Download font file
You can use font file "Mili_chaohu.ft" inside any Mifit.apk/assets/
4. Extract font file to character files
open a command prompt window, and use the command below to unpack
.\bipfont.py unpack Mili_chaohu.ft
a folder called bmp is created with all the .bmp characters inside
5. Remake or make new characters
+ Use any image editor to make your own font file (black background, white text, bmp format 2 colors, 16x16 pixel square, name xxxxy.bmp)
+ xxxx is the character unicode code name.
+ use unicode utility to find the unicode of each character (https://unicode.org/cldr/utility/character.jsp?a=U+0041&B1=Show)
+ y: the distance by pixel from the bottom.
+ Copy all your own characters to the extracted bmp folder (4).
6. Rebuild font file from characters folder (bmp folder) with the command below
.\bipfont.py pack New_Mili_chaohu.ft
copy New_Mili_chaohu.ft to a new folder and rename it to Mili_chaohu.ft

Hey there.
I have taken pmatsou's great work (credits to him and chienkd) and I have added an indirect solution for the Greek Uppercase Accented characters.
With my attached file the greek uppercase accented characters (which still showed up as "?") have been replaced with the corresponding non-accented characters. I chose this solution as I do not have time to get into Photoshop, etc and create new ones. One other solution would be to "borrow" some of the cyrillic characters that look like greek uppercase accented characters and already exist within the BMP directory described below, and rename them to match the right ASCII code (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-7 ). I tried this but I did not like the result. So. if you want to try / test the (attached) file, just start from step 7. Once more, thanks to pmatsou for the help on this and to chienkd for the steps on the original guide.
p.s. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGED / BRICKED DEVICE!
UPDATE (18/09/2018): I have re-uploaded an updated font file with some additional improvements on complex greek accented characters (that I created in Photoshop) such as the ones that show on the attached photo ( ΐ , ΰ, ϊ, ϋ )

Hi,
I wanted to add your Greek characters to my file, but the sheer size difference is enormous 1704 vs 30104 characters, It seems your file also includes all Chinese characters ?! I just don't know why it's so big.
I don't know what is the maximum file size, and I'm sure that adding everything is not a solution?! (or is it?)
It seems what I've started with is more EU oriented than your base.
If you want to provide the BMP's for every greek character you added, we could provide users with a streamlined file that is specifically designed to support EU languages.

Yes, in my file I did not remove the Chinese characters. I just played with and changed / edited / added some of the Greek characters.
I cannot give you all the Greek characters for the Cor, because I'm not even sure if I have the time to find all of them right now. I wish I could find the time... But, I can give you a file with only the ones that I changed. So, if your file already includes the original / initial Greek characters, you could just copy the ones I'm sending you and replace (overwrite) the original ones, right ? This way your file will have the ones I changed + the ones that I did not have to change but are needed for the COR to display the Greek language.
Here is a zip file (attached) with the one I edited...

Hey, checkout my new thread, I've also added emoji support
I'll take a look at what you edited, I also have access to some resources, if they fit, I'll add, or if you want just take the emoticons from my pack, pretty straightforward as they are one after the other (+ some extra characters but not that important, really)

I've checked out the modifications, and there are 21 incompatible characters, some of them are for Romanian . It's too late, but I think I'll give up for now
Font seems different, I use 2 for above accents, 4 for bottom accents for y value, different bases I think... also all characters seems to be centered in the bitmap. not compatible... (mine are left aligned).
I've found the base for the font in the meantime. https://github.com/amazfitbip/font/

Amazfit BIP/COR EU support font pack

NOTE:
Recent firmwares come in two version (“Normal” and Latin), While “Normal” seems to support English and Chinese (Spanish support introduced and later dropped), the Latin version seems to support Spanish and Russian. If you flash the Latin version you also need to flash the Latin font (which does not contain CJK characters).
So we have:
Normal (use Mili_chaohu_uni_vXX.zip): Custom fonts for firmware 0.1.0.66 and later (suitable for English locale on Chinese watches; for any locale except Chinese on international watches; and for English locale on any clock with firmware 1.0.1.00 and above
Latin: (use Mili_chaohu_v9XX.zip Thanks @ronison): Custom fonts for firmware 1.0.1.00 and later (suitable for Russian and Spanish locale)
As the font supports all mentioned languages I see no need to support latin, but it will provide the choice to use the phone in Russian/Spanish language (that's the only advantage I think?!)
----- DESCRIPTION/HISTORY -------
(Pachet diacritice pentru Amazfit BIP/Cor)
Supported languages (tested):
Albanian, Arumanian, Armenian, Azerbaijani (Latin & Cyrillic), Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Full English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Letvonian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Maltese, Moldavian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (including BR Portuguese), Romanian, Full Russian, Saami, Serbian latin/Cyrillic, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.
- emoji just show as an empty space ( if you don't use N&F app)! v15.
- WhatsApp, Facebook, Google calendar control character fix ! No more White Boxes for WhatsApp (and possible other apps)!!! Added more empty Control Characters to avoid this problem.
- Cyrillic alphabet support.
- Possibly the best support for symbols as I've combined all resources I've found + created a lot of new symbols.
The font file covers fully Android EN,RU,BG+other keyboard layouts.
Also added a emoticons pack (Notify & Fitness app is required with custom emoji font option enabled is needed).
Initial post here.
Base for the font: https://github.com/amazfitbip/font/

Note: Inserting Uppercase characters in .BMP file names are crashing the watch, interface fails to load properly.
Final version - for a while...
Mili_chaohu_ini_V7_Greek_Polish_Lithuanian
Supported languages (tested):
Albanian, Arumanian, Bosnian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Full English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Sami, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese.

Hey, the German Font works fine for iOS 12 and Amazfit Bip Firmware 1.1.5.04. Great Job!!!!
I am interested in a working Version with Emoticons, but i don´t know how i can creat a CustomFirmware for iOS...
Thanks, check also height and vertical arrangement of characters, I've done some fixes in that area too.
If you find any problem, just give me the character and I'll fix it if needed.
Anyway, I have the watch for less than a week, I don't know either. Another possibility is to use Notify and Fitness app (I think there is an iOS variant) to transliterate the smileys.
I couldn't find a tutorial for the emoticon implementation to test it.
Anyway, as long as we have all working characters it's not that such a big problem anymore.
So i think its perfect right know.
Theres no Notify&Fitness variant for iOS and i don´t know an alternative...
Some Smileys already works, like the football emoticon.
It would be great, if the popular emoticons will work
But again, great job!
Huge update!
THIS UPDATE IS HUGE, I recommend everyone of you to install it:
Languages added (tested) Belorusian, Letvonian, Portuguese.
WhatsApp Control character fix ! No more White Boxes for WhatsApp (and possible other apps)!!! Added more empty Control Characters to avoid this problem.
Cyrillic alphabet support ! No accents, only standard characters.
Huge amounts of modifications through the whole file... Too much to list here (500+ Characters added,)! Not everything is "standard size" for these new characters, but at least they are there.
Done a lot of manual rework. Now the font file covers fully Android EN keyboard layout.
Some modifications included:
Belarusian support: Ŭ 016c ŭ 016d
Letvonian support:
ā Ā ē Ē ī Ī ō Ō ģ Ģ ķ Ķ ļ Ļ ņ Ņ ŗ Ŗ
Portuguese support
WhatsApp fix
Miscellaneous characters + many others:
⁴ 2074 ⁿ 207f ₱„‚‽ ÷ 00f7 ✓ 2713 ⟨⟩ 27e8 27e9
♣♠♪♥♦ 2663 2660 266a 2665 2666
Universal Cyrillic Font support, redone Cyrillic fonts support to make them more in line with the standard font:
Removed old Cyrillic font and replaced it with a complete set, a little smaller, more in line with the Latin characters I used.
Fixed y values so both Cyrillic and Latin are on the same line.
Cyrillic y value set to 3.
Full Russian/Bulgarian/Serbian Cyrilic keyboards coverage.
Bulgarian, Russian (+full combining acute/grave 0300 0301 fix), Serbian Latin/Cyrillic support.
Graphic Corruption Fix
Hopefully fixed a very nasty bug that corrupted the Emoji graphics when an Emoji was displayed.
Redone everything from scratch from V7+ (I still don't know what caused the error, problem manifested when adding a certain number of Characters in the file - It was hidden from an user perspective, so no need to update if you're happy with your current version).
- Added all Original symbols (there are a lot of them).
Is there a step by step tutorial for installing a custom Firmware and this nice font Pack?

Check first post step 7 I believe... to install anything you only need to do step 7 (I've found out that you don't need to log out of Mifit either).
here it is:
Install your font file to your device.
+ unpair from mifit app (optional)
+ install gadgetbridge (from playstore) and pair it with band
+ upload your own font "Mili_chaohu.ft" to your phone
+ use File Manager Open file Mili_chaohu.ft
+ choose "gadgetbridge installer" option
+ tap "install" and wait
+ uninstall gadgetbridge when success (optional)
+ pair again with mifit (optional)

Thank you Very much!
I had some problems finding and pairing my bip in gadgetbridge. I had to unpair it from Mi fit.
The font installed sucessfully but only a few emojis work, for example the heart. The Standard smileys (laughing...) do not work

Yes, without a custom firmware (+ Notify and Fitness?!) (which I don't know where to download an Up To Date one) the emoji's won't work (it's just impossible for reasons I explained before).
What works are custom dingbats, symbols, etc... different from the emoji.
I use MiFit so I don't have any interest in testing it but it should work.
4. Extract font file to character files
open a command prompt window, and use the command below to unpack
.\bipfont.py unpack Mili_chaohu.ft
I get always a SyntaxError, when i try to unpack. I have all the files i need in the same directory but it will not work

The initial tutorial is missing this step , sorry about that.
In addition to installing Python3, we also need a PIL module, which we install like this:
- go to the Python3 folder and call the command line (cmd.exe), and then type:
pip install Pillow
The way I'm doing things is:
I use D:\Bip_Font path for my font
I open cmd and type:
d:\
cd d:\Bip_Font
phyton unpack Mili_chaohu_ini.ft
P.S.: What modifications are you interested in?
Nice work! Which custom firmware is working?
Guys,
for me notifications are a big part of my work, can't afford to experiment with it, try to see if only using Notify and Fitness App (Android) with Show emoji option enabled works.
I think that's all it's needed, and the term custom firmware is actually referring to the custom font...
Yeah, I know
The problem is, that there is no emoji solution for people with iOS, because notify and fitness is not for iOS.
But i don’t unterstand, why some emoji work (heart, football, spade...) and all the others not!?
