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 ;-)

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?

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
http://db.tt/JlnKmQ
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>

Messaging app.
I have frozen default message app with Titanium backup and I was unable to send and receive MMS (using Handcent). So, I dont recommend to uninstall it.
Hi folks,
Just wondered if someone has come across this bug bear of mine and found a solution to it.
I use handcent for my messages instead of the built in stock message app but I have noticed that despite going into settings and telling the stock app NOT to retrieve messages and told handcent TO retrieve messages that although I only get a handcent notification when a message is received that the reality is that both apps have the messages sent to me.
Now this is a bug bear as I have handcent protected from prying eyes for my messages but cant do the same with the stock app. If anything I would prefer to remove the stock app altogether.
Has anyone come across this as well and found a solution?
Cheers in advance.
I noticed yesterday the same thing. It was seemed to be after last handcent update. I didn't look for a solution yet.

Cheers for sharing, I thought I was missing some option or something as never noticed the problem before. I stupidly removed the messages from the stock app thinking my handcent ones would be ok.....nope they went and were wiped also
Not sure if this again is something to do with the update or if thats normal to happen.
What a bugger!
Now I checked handcent settings. I was quite surprised - there's no option "use as default (or something similar) anymore! After update. That explains the problem, I guess.
I have been using handcent for more than a year now, and I always see the sms in both apps..., I do not think this is a bug. But you can remove the MMS.APK in the system folder if you have root, and that would fix your problem. But... when I did this in my Milestone it have some problems with the sms, the notifications where delayed... you get the screen popup notification and 5 or 10 seconds later the sound... but this was for the Milestone 1, you can move the spk and save it as backup and test it.
I have emailed them asking about it, if I hear anything I will put it up.....crazy though really they have done this :-(

Nope, that's a real bug. I've just rolled back on 3.9.5 revision (I have it in Titanium backup) - the problem has gone! I have "Default messaging app" in the Settings again!
And you only see the sms in handcent??? becouse i have allways have it as defaul app but allways seen the sms in both....

Surely. That was the issue.
Both apps use the same SMS/MMS database created by android. I know of no other app that uses it's own. Your only option is to root and remove the messaging.apk from /system/app/

Just had a look on my titanium backup and its currently running version 3.9.8 and I can only roll back as far as 3.9.7.
If you roll back do you loose your current messages? And do you know of hand if rolling back to 3.9.7 will benefit?

So the option of only letting handcent retrieve messages must in a way block the stock message app from retrieving them, though the stock app is there in the background?
As said earlier, didnt have the problem before of both retrieving messages and as pointed out the recent update may be reason

No, all my messages still with me I don't know about 3.9.7. Just try to restore the app with data. Nothing to lose.
Well I have rolled back and no data was lost, phew! However I have chosen the option from the menu stating disable stock and allow handcent to be default and still the same :-(
Maybe this problem has been for the last 2 updates.
Something else I noticed, the led no longer seems to flash. Not sure if this is something related to custom rom on lite'ning or not. Did you also encounter this? Would it be possible to install an older version of handcent from somewhere do you think?

I attach ver.3.9.5
Just install it over your one.
Which LED do you mean? SGSII has no LEDs
Probably you do use BLN or NOLED app?
If it doesnt help just go into standard SMS app setting - on the bottom - uncheck Status Bar Notifications.

Hi fella,
Thanks for the Russian version? lol? Eh lol? Anyhow went ahead and installed it via dropbox and though it said it was overwriting the previous version nothing changed and when looking still seems to be version 3.9.7.
Ref to status bar notifications, I only get one notification which is via handcent, thats fine, no problems there, just this annoying point of duplicate messages.
Ref LED, I meant the blinking light when messages come through, usually you can choose between colours etc, but even when deciding what colour of notification I want blinking I never see it lol!
Cant get over your Russian file!

Well took the plunge and used titanium back up application and simply uninstalled the the stock message app and now its gone only have handcent as the main app, so that suits me.
I checked on a another s2 that has stock rom and running handcent and that flashy reminder led light option although selected doesnt work, so it would strengthen that the s2 has no led at the front of the phone like the x10....how odd.
Oh. I'm sorry, I tapped on next file when was sending it, I have sent you a language pack. You can remove it through Appllication Management. It names "Handcent SMS Russian Language".
Now I'm attaching the correct original apk 3.9.5. I'm terribly sorry!
lol, its fine fella, don't worry about it....was quite funny really lol!
Cheers for the file

Thought rather than creating a new thread for each bug found in subpsyke's latest release of CM7 for the i5500 (20120206) we should just compile them here, perhaps make life slightly easier for the developer???

Couldn't install apps from the market, phone gave 'not enough space' error during install of apk. I experienced a similar problem in early versions of CM7.
Also theme chooser app behaving strangely, only two available themes in there, one of which was not displayed correctly.
MUCH LOVE TO THE DEVS FOR THE SMARTPHONE REPUBLIC.
Good initiative on creating this thread!
I´m having the same problem with the theme chooser, where it won´t display one of the themes. I have 3 themes, and one of them (androidian) displays as a black rectangle.
So far, nothing other than that.

Everytime psyche release a new version of te CyaogenMod porting for our GT-I5500 I take a look into the zip file of the rom.. I do that 'cause I use to remove some bloat I don't use and something I don't need, like live wallpapers, quite all the CM wallpapers (which i finf horrible), File Manager (I insert RootExplorer), ADW Launcher (I get my version of ADW Launcher EX) and so on..
Usually I also use to remove 2 of the 3 defult themes of this rom, 'cause I never liked them.. They were called Androidian and Cyanbread, if I well remember..
but this time, in version 2.0 I cannot find anymore those themes, so I assume that only the default theme this time is been installed into this version..
Infact into my Theme Chooser there is only the default theme (and the 2 I installed after first use, I love LunarUI!! )and much of all I cannot notice any error on Theme Chooser!!
I think that you could consider wiping your cache and your data; if this could not help flash alla gain from start! If you don't want to loose your data (but I'm sure you have not so much data after 1 day of use, or you already backup before flash this new version) wait for a psyche reply (if he will read) or post directly into the MadTeam forum..
Anyway, for me, no error till now.
2.0 - h2
Forgot to mention, wasn't able to download apps from the market while connecting through wifi.
Browsing was fine but had to connect through 3G to get the app to start downloading.

I guess it took a while for the Alarm program to load.
It happens to me with calls sometimes. I might be browsing the web, then I get a call, and I can't answer it because the screen is black. It would be good if we could answer with the physical button, but I can't find any settings to get it working.

I had no idea this was possible do i have to unzip>edit>rezip or can i just replace the files with a zip explorer?
finally i can have rootexplorer as my system file manager
I´m getting a lot of screen-related bugs...
I´m gonna do a wipe, re-install, and see if it gets better.
Is the any way to backup all my data and apps, so i don´t have to download it all again?
Thanks

Titanium Backup * Root is what you need here. It should come preinstalled on all android devices in my opinion.
It will allow you to backup all your existing apps and system data to your SD card so one you've reflashed your device you need only download Titanium and restore them.
- You could save a copy of the Titanium apk to your SD so you wouldn't even have to download that

Thanks mate, gonna try it!!

sure you can, but you will indeed loose the signature/md5 of the file, but if you don't use the signature verification in CWM you won't need it.. anyway you MUST pay attention when modifying those files, 'cause they will go to replace system files into your phone, so be sure they are not corrupted (for example veryfy files with the archive manager).
Usually I use to unzip all the folder and then zip it again: but I do that 'cause I need to remove / change a lot of files (I remove all non italian/english languages, for example).. if you want to remove only the FileManager.apk you can do that directly with WinRAR: remove it and then add RootExplorer.apk (I follow the same name style)..
Just a little note: I'm not sure that all the apk you will put in will work!! For example once I tryed to do that with SamsungApps apk but it didn't start!!
enjoy!!
Anyone else having crash issues (stops responding) with the calendar?
Particularly the day view? It seems that it hangs half the time I'm trying to use it, particularly if I try to sweep it before doing anything else.

Well, when i open the calendar in 1 day view, if i navigate to the sides using the navigation buttons, the app freezes and after a while i get an error message saying the app is not responding, and i have to force-end it.
This doesn't happens if i use the touchscreen, only if i use the navigation buttons.
Asides from that, i´m getting random crashes and freezes that didn't happen in v1.9... i´m considering a downgrade.

Afternoon guys,
So i've just updated from ICS (XXDLI8) to JB (DLJ4), used the download from samfirmware and Odin, then factory reset in the phone so that my internal SD was completely fresh/new, all good so far, but afterwards, when I tried to restore the backup I had made in ICS of my SMS/MMS, instead of grouping all my messages together in a single thread per person, it had a separate thread for each individual reply... giving me over 4000 threads O_O
Has anyone else experienced this? If not, I guess there might be a glitch that occurred during flashing with Odin and i'll just re-do it in a bit
I did the same thing but mine worked perfectly. Just try again and good luck
Hmmmm
Ok, so i've just wiped and re-flashed the ROM with Odin, restored my messages and the exact same thing has happened, every message has it's own thread... I was hoping a re-flash would fix any glitch but it doesn't look like it!
Anyone have any ideas?
I had the same trouble with all JB Roms I tried, asked the same question and got no answer/fix. So for now I'm using CM10 based rom's and no trouble.

It's a bit frustrating! But at least it's only SMS/MMS rather than something OS breaking haha. I guess i'll just have to live with it!
Wow, finally I have found this thread....... oh, and I guess im not the only one having this issue then.
Yep, same here. I flashed a rooted stock rom (DLJ4) too and same issue here. I restored all my messages but the conversation/threaded messages are no more.
I did reflash a few times but to no avail.
Can someone please advise me and the OP.....
Many thanks

Same ROM?
Also, I have just recieved a few messages from someone and all three messages show up seperatley!!
Forgot to mention, the SMS app I am using is the AOSP (google)one.
As you guys have figured out, My Backup sucks sometimes for backing up and restoring SMS messages. I flash various different Sammy JB ROMS fairly frequently. I would suggest using a dedicated program. I've always used the free app called SMS Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu, and have never had any problems.
Use titanium and use the .xml restore methods in future
AOSP SMS on Samsung based ROMs has that issue. Happened to me on Dragon ROM when I chose AOSP messaging. Worked fine when I flashed again, this time with stock Samsung messaging app. Try reverting to Samsung stock messaging and check. Who knows, it might resolve the issue. Good luck.
Alternatively, you can use SMSBackup+ to backup your messages and call logs to your Gmail account. Works like a charm for me. You won't need to restore the messages as they are just a click away.

Really appriciate the responses guys.
Just to clarfy a few things.
I have been using "SMS Backup & Restore Pro" (for a while) and it has always restored my messages without any issues (threaded messages restore properly). These were usually ICS Roms and "AOSP" JB Roms.
So I'm guessing its not the app itself. Having said that, I will try the app someone mentioned a few posts above- which links to Gmail. Sounds good.
Also, the person that mentioned about Titanium backup, I think you might have the answer.....I usually restore all apps and settings via Titanium. When it gives me the option for XML or Snapshot (I think), usually I choose XML but this time I chose Snapshot. So, I will reflash again and restore with Titanium but this time choosing XML. I will let you know if this works.
Finally, the person who mentioned about reverting to Stock Samsung messageing app, I have tried it but still get the same issue.
Thanks to all of you for responding and for your suggestions. :good:
I will get back here once I have reflashed. :fingers-crossed:
Thank you
ok guys.
I have flashed a few different Roms now and still have the same issue.....even with the samsung messaging app.
This is really frustrating me now!!
@ Slaphead20, can you advise me on how you did the .XML restore?
I tried but can not seem to find the option.
The option after I flash a ROM where it asks me whether I want to choose XML or snapshot doesnt seem to have appeared with the Roms I have been flashing. (Omega/sotmax & Haldric)
Hi, well tbh I just tap on the titanium loss for each one and restore, so I'm going to check in the preferences menu and see what I might of set up to get it working.....back in a bit!

I can't find the exact setting, so it might be a case of having to delete the titanium app settings backup that it creates on ext sd and re configure the app, but in the menu there are two relevant entries but I'm not messing with them to experiment as all is working for me......and if it ain't broke........ ..
I know there are quite a few similar threads, but since they are all fairly device specific, I though I'd try my luck with a new one.
I have a rooted LG Optimus L1 ii, running the stock 4.1 ROM that came with it, from which I uninstalled the stock messaging app after installing Hangouts. As you might have guessed I was unaware that the stock messaging app contains the basic messaging capabilities and all other apps rely on this, so now I'm trying to somehow regain the ability to send and receive SMS.
I have tried installing Handcent, GoSMS, and an app called "Android 4.1 JB Messaging SMS", which claims to be the stock messaging app for JellyBean, all of it to no avail.
Therefore my question is, on a very fundamental level, what are the parts of the Android OS that are required for SMS and that I evidently destroyed? Can I get "generic" stock versions of the necessary apks or do they have to be specific to my phone model?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

1) It's not easy to decrypt stock LG firmware for that. Would be easier to download a stock based rom and grab it from there.
2) It's not that simple, you have to set permissions for system apps as well.
To OP: Go SMS should work fine. You just need to go into the advance settings and make sure it's checked off to be your standalone messaging system and there is an option to add your own MMS settings, which should be all you need.
Many other texting apps have custom settings for MMS options too. Hello SMS, Go SMS, ChompSMS, Handcent, Textra, Slide Messaging, and Evolve SMS all do if I remember right.
Edit: Sorry, can't read. I thought you were having MMS issues, not SMS. But yea, that's odd. You don't normally need the stock Messaging app anymore to send SMS.
You might have to reinstall your entire OS. Gotta make sure you know what system version you are on as they are slight differences between the carriers and regions the phone was sold from.

Pray tell how you would download the firmware and pull the messaging app from it? It helps to know what that entails before you suggest it. And the OP mentioned he did not delete it till after he installed Hangouts, which is not TOTALLY crazy. Hindsight 20/20, freezing it would have been better, but we're all learning. I typically uninstall the stock messaging app on any phone that I've used and have never had an issue like this.
Same problem Need help

I ended up going with the first suggestion in this thread and re-installed the original firmware. Slightly annoying, but there was no way around it with other apps and certainly trying to extract just the messaging app out of the stock ROM is more complicated and uncertain than this.
