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 use titanium and blocked instead of removing some things for testing which apps progs or whatever are effected, but need some time to find out ;-)

I have so far uninstalled
Moxier
Playnow
User guide
User support
Original Messaging
So far have had no problems, i'd advise against uninstalling Timescape/Mediascape as im sure the phone uses these for other tasks than their sole purpose, e.g Facebook updates, Camera roll and such

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?
edit: sorry, didn't reed your post well enough speeee

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

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?
<map>
<string name="shortcut01">com.sonyericsson.android.mediascape.activity.MceActivity</string>
<string name="shortcut02">com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook.SocialPhonebookActivity</string>
<string name="shortcut03">com.android.mms.ui.ConversationList</string>
<string name="shortcut04">com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook.DialerEntryActivity</string>

Yes, it is the official Google apk. It might not show up in the market depending on your operator or region.
Thanks for that, this was the only thing missing from the 2.1 update that bothered me. glad to have it back. funny part is when i first boot up my phone it had the voice search bar on screen but as soon as it finished loading the search widget changes to a plain ol search bar without the mic icon.
Just change your search widget to the updated search widget. You should be gold.
kewl it worked, moved the old one to the trash can and added the widget again. fyi in my previous post about how it showed before then changed. that was actually before i got the apk from this here. but after adding the apk it worked after replacing. fyi thats the search bar that is on my wifes x10 by default. but she is still using the shipped 1.6 ver.
I have just flashed Alien's 2.3.4 build http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186537.
In my previous ATT 2.2 version, the Motoblur will push twitter/facebook/LinkedIn updates to my cell phone automatically. I can read these updates uing the rightmost tab in the contact application. However, it disappeared now.
How can I recover this functionality? Thanks!
Can any one help me to post my questions to Alien's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186537 ? As I am a new user, I don't have reply permission in his thread. Thanks!
You must install bloatware
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
After I installed the bloatware, I still can't figure out how to push the twitter...
i believe they actually got rid of that. I can't find it, and i believe i remember someone mentioning that.
When I was using Alien ROM a few days ago, I wanted the Blur "Social Networking" widget which displays social media updates. In order to get this widget back, I needed to install "friendfeed.apk" from Alien's bloatware.zip. I only installed friendfeed.apk, not everything else.
I suspect that you'll need to at least install friendfeed.apk to get the status updates in contacts. However, I'm not sure whether you will also need to put the "social networking" widget on of the home screens.
Hee guys,
I've searched for a long time, and using plume and the facebook app to fill up the time, but havent found anything so far.
But I was wondering if there is an app that updates both statusses at once. Like the status updater in the home launcher of 'Spark'. Does somebody have an app or widget that does the same thing?
Many thanks allready.
(have tried dawg allready, but it updates a single status )
you can use tweetdeck or tweetcaster
Or seismic

ohh! there are more apps for this than i though..
thnx for the tips guys
Hi, guys!
Yesterday, I updated to latest ICS and from that time onwards the call pattern of my SG2 have changed. Now, there is a hyphen/trace/dash (-) and some spaces when I put the numbers to call.
These settings can be customized?
There is a way to remove these trace and spaces?
I have tried other dialers in Google Play, but I really like the ICS stock dialer.
So, if it possible, I would like to use the stock dialer w/o call pattern.
Sorry for my poor English.
Try changing your language to UK or us English in settings

Hi, bala_gamer.
i tried but it didn't work.
I took a screenshot. See it.
I don't think you can change it - except using a dialer app
Has anybody found a workaround for this, except using another dialer?
Thanks for any suggestions.
/LE: installed exDialer, seems great so far...
/LE2: Spoke too soon, when someone calls, or i dial a number the spaces still appear.
