ONCE ROOTED: which apps & processes are safe to remove - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Once the ULTRA Z is rooted, which apps & processes are safe to remove from the phone, without causing problems? Sorry if this was asked, I searched but couldn't find it specifically for the Ultra.
thank you in advance

These are apps from the Xperia Z (i don't have the Ultra yet, but i assume the ZU has a lot of similar apps). These are apps you CAN remove, but that doesn't mean that you HAVE to remove. If you aren't sure what they do, leave them alone or install SystemAppRemover. It'll mark apps and services with a green color if they are safe to remove.

There's a lot of things you can remove but some of them are also essential services. Do consider your personal usage before removing them.
For example, if you have decided that Nova Launcher is the launcher you will use, you can delete off Sony's default launcher (although I won't).
If you are using other player apps such as Poweramp, you can delete of Walkman. However, do note that if you delete Walkman, you lose the sound picker function for setting your phone ringtone. If you want custom ringtones you will need to manually add the .OGG sound files into system/media/audio/ringtones or system/media/audio/notification
Of course, other examples would be like if you use google contact and calendar sync etc, you should not delete off the respective sync apks.

Wrong question. You'd better ask "how much RAM and battery will I save freezing (or deleting) them". Answer: Even more. Getting all that social Face* cancer and Google trash out is giving me > 1GB of free RAM at all times. Amazing.
noses.
What about poboxsknmono and poboxsknselector I try removed them, nothing weird happens

I don't know what that is, but if nothing weird is happening after you've removed it, I guess you're safe Do a reboot after deleting it though to see if you get an error. If not, you're safe.
