Deleting inside Vendor folder - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

I had installed last 4.0.4 on my Neo and Yes is working properly.
Nice deep sleep with stock Kernel.
Still didn´t try RC3 kernel.
One issue: anyone know the way to delete app from Vendor folder?
Even with root can´t delete file inside this folder. I have root because I confirm it but inside Vendor where there are some app I don´t need I am not able to delete them.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi make sure when you try to delete the file, before that in the file explorer(u are using) settings, check the Mount File System option and after that you should be able to delete.

Thanks Inteks.
It works. Finally I was able to remove app I don´t need on the new 4.0.4.
Assume this “problem” is for all 4.0.4 versions correct?
One user informed that was able to delete app normally with root explorer!! Confused.
Again thanks for your help.

Confused, neo v 4.0.4 central Europe has not vendor partition. Content is all in system.
If you extract sin files from ftf file, you will see, neo firm has a file called vendor.sin 90mb, however, neo v system.sin is bigger an vendor.sin doesn't exist.
Sorry about bad English

Somehow it seems that the Neo ftf posted here is not an unbranded one. I guess that has to do for now till the official update comes around for every Neo.

root will be gone already via a upgrade
No for flashing you just need usb debugging and unknown sources checked for flashing....root doesn't make a difference.
It's only for Nordics... (sweden,finland,iceland etc..)
It's not even in Baltics
Change your build prop to Neo v and try change your so number in build prop also see if you get a message through update centre seus

[Q] Internet Browser apk help please.

Situation:
-I have a rooted device Samsung Galaxy Ace [GT-S5830L] Android 2.3.4
-I accidentally deleted with Titanium Backup my default browser [Internet 1.0 (1)]
-Therefore I installed Dolphin which is not that bad.
Problems:
-Now wherever I try to watch any youtube video I'm just able to see the loading circle without loading the video.
-I can't use the default browser.
-I lost the voice app to type.
I've tried without good results:
-Use my friends phone [exact same one I have] did a back up with Titanium Back up, copy the backup to my phone and tried to restore.
-I downloaded several [internet.apk] [browser.apk] for my phone and tried to install with Optimize toolbox and from manage applications.
Screen capture when I tried to open.

So for the file to be accepted by the phone you need to change the file so it has system access. That feature is built in on most root file explorers

I just tried that and still not working, about the person who recomended Dolphin, that a fare option however there must be something between the browser apk and the youtubr apk cause im not able to load youtube videos...
I've consider getting a ROM but I need a functional ROM and I see a lot of them w/bugs on the camera, wifi, gps, ect... Is there any stable ROM that works over networkbands 900/1800?
Why not re-install your current rom (if you are happy with that) from sammobile via odin perhaps?

If you still have the zip file from your rom, you can copy the original files from it to your phone.
It should be in /system/app (copy both browser.apk and browser.odex). Make sure you put all the correct permissions (mine has all permisions for reading and owner permissions for writing).
Can I get that system internet apk file I also have same problem

[XMP]Official 4.1.B.0.587

I made a simple CWM installer to install .587 ROM to XMP.
Official 4.1.B.0.587​
It's work in locked/unlocked bootloader too!​
ES Vodafone source - thanks for the idea to sur1k
Vodafone's apps and customization removed, but any other apps and bloatware not - stock ROM, not cooked.
Rooted, SuperSU app installed
Install instructions:
0.) Copy the downloaded update_XMP587-ExPeacer.zip to your SD card
1.) Install CWM to your ROM
2.) Restart, and enter CWM
3.) If your bootloader LOCKED: mount&storage -> format /system.
4.) Back -> advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache.
5.) Back -> install zip from sdcard. Choose the update zip, then follow the instructions.
6.) When it finished, turn off the device.
7.) Copy the downloaded SK17i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel-Baseband.zip to the Flashtool/firmwares folder.
8.) Start the Flashtool, go to Flashmode. Choose the SK17i 4.1.B.0.587 Kernel-Baseband line, then install it.
9.) If finished, start the device.
+1.) After the first boot, reboot the device again!​
If you update from GB, at the 3rd step, choose format /data too!!
If you update from .431, in this way, you can keep your apps and settings!

How many times have you gone through this: download a new ROM, backup all your apps with Titanium, reboot into recovery, perform a nandroid backup, wipe, install new ROM, boot and set up, then restore all your apps and data. Yeah, it's crazy. And it takes forever.
What if you could cut that time by a solid 20 or 30 minutes? Thanks to a new feature just incorporated in Titanium Backup, you can. With the newest update to TB Pro, you can now create a flashable zip of all your apps and data. That means that you can flash all your goodies right after a new ROM and fire up a system that's ready to go right out of the box.
You can try here
And for Pro here
uhh..... welcome to android?
EDIT: ahh... nvm... just realised that u pointed out the update.zip creation of backups well yea that is a nice feature
Who does not know for this app its not made for Android.

Hey i have trouble viewing the update.zip in CWM ( i change the name to titanium app+data;would that matter? i already have a folder named update.zip that's why) i can view if in my File Manager by CM. But no matter where i put the file it does not show up in CWM. And yes i did run the program first. And have tried installing and uninstalling it 3 times as well as a fresh slate on phone.

Hi Naheel,
not yet, actually a tried something else before and messed up with the keyprint.xml file and needed to restore this file. Then I fixed the file manually to have my layout...but I am still going to try your app. I will let you know about the result.
I installed now your app and as I solved my problem by just editing the file keyprint.xml, I was wondering of the result when I selected the desired keylayout when I used your app.
Before using you app, I was on query-gb. When I selected querty-en, I got the message that it is already in use. Afterwards I selected querty-br. I checked the folder system/usr/keyboard-config/ and I wondered why there is a file called querty-en.xml? This file also already exists inside the folder system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts/
Before restarting I deleted the file again, because I would like to ask you before, if it is the expected behaviour?
By the way I like the design.

First I'm so sorry for my late answer, I've subscribed my thread but I didn't received any email about you post.
Second, Yes, it's expected behavior. actuality, it's my mistake, I had to say before that you must be on qwerty-en.xml first to work.
here's my app do exactly -if you're interested- :
-first it check if "qwerty-en.xml" is available in "system/usr/keyboard-config/"
if it's not available there it copy it from "system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts" to "system/usr/keyboard-config/"
if already available, it skip this step
-then it copy and rename from "system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts/--selected layout--.xml" to "system/usr/qwerty-en.xml"
-at last, it move that xml back to "system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts/"
the above will happen if you've selected any layout except qwerty-en, when you select qwerty-en:
-first check if "qwerty-en.xml" is available in "system/usr/keyboard-config/"
if not, it tells you "Already used"
if it there, it goes to "system/usr/keyboard-config/qwerty-en.xml" and copy it to "system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts/qwerty-en.xml"
