I've looked through numerous threads, but the opinions are pretty mixed.
Does anyone predict issues with removing any of these apps?
I will not be using Sense.
I'm making a flashable zip to remove these so I don't need to manually do it every time I flash a new ROM.

Yeah, I know. Kind of expecting that.
But, I have used search, I have frozen them (had other errors from nightly, so hard to narrow down), but I just want to see if anyone else has had problems before I write the rest of the script.

He means that it should have been in the Q&A section, not the dev section. So now that we have that clear, if you're not using a sense rom, those things shouldn't be in there in the first place. If you are using a sense based rom, removing anything that says htc in it could cause problems.

Dammit, too many xda tabs. Can I get a mod to move it for me?
Eh, wrong section, but by now, you already know that. Try to post in the right section next time.
Anyways, you'll be fine with that list, just be advised that if you remove the lockscreens and their idlebases, you'll lose Incoming Caller ID. You'll need to unlock before answering each time.
Also, if you're going to debloat, you might as well remove Burgandy and Blue Sky, as well as the Streak Wallpaper and the Live Weather Wallpaper. Both are ultimately useless, the streak wallpaper isn't exactly dramatic, and the weather live wallpaper (2 apks) are also useless and all you have to do is look at the weather app to see them. Those two apks combined are massive in comparison to the rest.
Might as well add "MyReportAgent.apk" to the mix.
Thanks....

Good to know.....thank you much. There's a lot of stuff on that list that I was hesitant to remove not knowing if there would be hiccups later.

Nice list. Thanks for putting together and posting.
Simple guide would be nice.
Upgraded to ICS today, the bottom right button doesnt bring up settings, it brings up a bar at the top which I don't like and can't change, the slider from lock screen changed to a camera when i often used it to turn silent on/off
it updated my facebook to the new slower/clunkier version
the text messaging is differnent
etc etc
I do no like this update and would like to revert to Gingerbread, has anyone done it and how do i do it?
I'm a noob too.

Hello,
I love this app for multi-messaging: https://play.google.com/store/apps/....imoim&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
But there's one problem for me and others: The developers don't release a black theme (not even in the latest beta)
This is a feature many people want, especially those with amoled screens.
It would be awesome, if someone could create a black/dark/inverted theme for imo.im
Really no one interested in this?
Yes I am, but unfortunately no developer
You don't need to be a dev to theme an apk.
Rocking cm9.1
also interested
I found this thread from googling for this very thing. Could someone help us out and invert IMO?
Awesome, someone replied! There IS interest in an inverted imo.im app!!!
If it's not that hard to do, zman519, why don't you invert our beloved imo.im app then?
It would be SOOOO AWESOME if someone would just make a dark version of it. :laugh:
Ok I don't use it that mush, but I'll decompile the apk & check in to it. Iv done a few mms.apks & a few touchwiz themes,
But I have a LOT OF HOMEWORK, so no ETAS!
Rocking cm9.1
Any news on this?
Don't think it'll be worth it

I doubt this is going to happen. Even if someone does do it, the next time Imo updates it will have to be re-done... I attempted to do it but was getting errors from the decompiler so I decided to stop installing buggy garbage onto my computer and leave well enough alone.
I'm still interested in this...
Then do it yourself
Batcom2
I don't think that now you can change theme in IMO Messenger, I am using it on Android and PC I didn't find any such option. Maybe you can use this app on PC and try finding it out?
Go to developer options and turn in override force-dark. This will mess up some apps and profile pictures will be inverted but it is wayyyyy better than white theme
I've search everywhere in the forum and found;
1. Xperia Arc launcher for mdpi device
2. Xperia S launcher for mdpi device
3. Xperia GX launcher for mdpi device
4. Xperia T launcher for mdpi device.
Non of these are really what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for a launcher like Xperia go, miro and tipo.
1. 4 icons dock on homescreen
2. 3 icon rows in app drawer
3. On screen home button is at the bottom middle, not on top right corner
However, xperia go, miro and tipo does not have horizontal orientation on it's launcher.
So can anyone help me to port these launcher (from go / miro / tipo) and mod a bit so it does have horizontal orientation when I pull my mini pro keyboard out?
Thanks!!!

No. Actually I said I found the thread in my post. It doesn't offer what I'm looking for. I'm looking for Xperia go/ miro/ tipo's launcher, with 3 rows icons just like the original. I don't want the modded into 4 rows. Yes I know many wanted 4 rows but my reason is, 4 rows comes with the cost of cutting the apps' name if the apps' name is long.

Come on, most people here are pro enough to mod the laucher, but no one can help with a simple launcher?
I really don't want 4 row icons, I want the original Xperia Tipo/ Miro / Go launcher. Just 3 row icons. Just like the original ones from Sony, for 320 x 480 px devices.
Please help me with it. Don't attach me with another link that links to 4 row icons.
*implied facepalm*
Come on dude...
You are asking the devs to do such modding especially for you...
When you can do it yourselves...
In the xperia T and most of the launcher...
You can simply edit the no. of rows and columns in launcher settings...
Hit thanks button if I helped you:beer:

The Dev has a lot more important work to do rather than this one, And in Fact you're not the Boss Of All Dev that Paid Them to work for you
So Please Don't Said that thing again, There are a lot of workaround and Some Launcher has Option to set the Number of Rows

I respect the developers. Without them we won't have fun custom rom to use. But it doesn't mean I can't point the truth out, and I know truth might hurt someone. I'm prepared for the consequences of getting banned.
I really thought the developers are all friendly and helpful people. This type of reply was really uncalled. I was just asking for a help, and if you refuse to help, reject me nicely, there's no need to scold me. You need to lower your pride a bit. I'm not as smart as developers, that's why I'm here to ask if anyone can help me. If no, it's fine. Just that no one replies my thread, so I don't know.
And your replies really shows you never really read my post. I suppose if you post a thread with clear instructions and someone don't read it and still ask you questions that you have written, do you like it? You scolded me without reading my post. I didn't just want custom rows. I went through my time to search for every thread, read every post and download every launcher to try it out. I even go through my time to read on how to root just so I can use custom xperia launcher, i took me few days.
It's when I have weeks of searching and couldn't find what I want, I opened this thread asking for help and I got scolded by your pride. Yes, your pride.
You didn't even read my entire post and come in and scold me. Which I was really not comfy with.

You are asking "I want this and I want that " and no dev is your personal dev here! They will do what many people feel it's good or what they feel it's good for the users. They know the best . You can't come here and demand the devs and question their knowledge just because they didn't fulfill your isolated personal DEMAND. This is a public forum and not your private forum nor the devs exclusively work for you, understand??? Please drop your demanding language and try to request the devs. Thank you.

A failed thread. I'm sorry to all the developers here, I have no intention to demand at all. I was really asking for help.
May I request mod to delete this thread, please?
I am cooking a little custom ROM for my personal use and I have some questions that I hope to get answers for...
Is there a way to change default launcher from `touchwiz` to something else maybe `evie` ?, What I've tried is to replace `TouchWiz.Apk` yet on first boot the device asks to set default launcher.
Is there a way to change the default home screen layout/shortcuts ? What I've tried is editing `csc/default_workspace.xml` yet changes always result in an empty home screen.
Using `system/etc/default-permissions/default-permissions.xml to grant an app some predefined permissions doesn't appear to work for some reason, Is there an actual way to do that?

Thank you for your recommendation, yet I've seen the TouchWiz mega thread and it actually doesn't have anything regarding the above questions, or maybe it has under some unknown term to me?.
So further help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
