New here...
i'm seeing all these unnecessary applications in my xperia sola which i cannot even uninstall
there are two browsers even which sony is endorsing apparently
their default browser and chrome
all these extra applications must slow down the system
need to know if i can install a stock ICS on my sola and it will be faster right?
and any drawbacks???

you can install stock ics on your device just download the stock ftf file for you device and flash it using flashtool for proper guide use the search bar its on your wish what u want to use you want to use stock ics or jb if you having much of unnecesary applications then try custom rom which have removed the extra stuff if you have an unlocked bootloader then you can also go for cyanogenmod

or get root premissions to delete unnecessary apps

It is kind of personal, like to me all fb related apps, trackid, ant etc are all bloatware, but some people might find them useful...The best thing is you figure out what is essential and work up from there
Just found it look here

[P]Alternative vanilla JB apps for XP

I know ppl used to install a JB camera on ICS for XP. Is that still possible on XP JB? Are there other stock apps that can replace XP JB apps soomthly? Such as contacts (For high res profile pictures), sms/mms app, launcher? Will they (if possible), replace stock apps, or will they be additional to? I don't want to corrupt functions on my phone for this.
Also, is there a list describing what the different apps are for, and if they can be deleted/disabled or not?
BUMP! no one? not even stock JB dialer/contacs w/high res pics?
Hey there. Some ICS apps don't work on JB but, for example, RizalLovins' Cyber-shot mod for ICS works on JB.
DavidMDK's "Jelly Bean Fixes" thread has the links to the JB small apps, calculator and other interesting goodies.
Yes, you have to replace the apks in /system/app
It'd be nice if someone would test and make a thread listing all the ICS mods that work on JB.

You are talking about ICS apps, i was looking for JB apps. Like stock JB apps, the ones preinstalled on Nexus/CM devices. I would hope they worked right out of the box, or only needed a minor fix...
You should download CM10 for any HDPI device and extract the apps that you want from system\app in the .zip archive. For more stock apps you should download gapps (Google apps): latest for 4.1.2 - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip - you can flash this zip but I recommend extracting only the APKs that you want.
That's what i wanted to hear But do you assume it works, or do you know? Can all apps be replaced, or just some of them? Would the android sdk sources fail, or could they be used as well?

1) Root will not void your warranty, unlocking bootloader though will. Taking a factory reset will not unroot your phone since doesn't mess up with superuser. Ti unroot, you have to install via flashtool stock rom and this will make you loose all your data ( not photos etc, just apps, data etc).
2) You can download from store go launcher ex and install a miui theme.
Here is the link for go launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&hl=en
Here is the link for the muiu theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.go.launcherex.newmiuiv4.free&hl=en

About xperia p optipizing, or installing android 4.4 or 5.0

Hello,
I was wondering I have xperia P with android 4.1.2.
Google maps for example is working a bit laggy on this phone can this be fixed?
Should I try installing a rom for android 4.4 or maybe 5.0?
I don't know wich one I need to install for best allround performance for this phone or is stockrom good enough??
Any idea guys?
I allready tried in the past some cyanide mod rom but my phone didn't boot anymore luckely I could let it work again with flashtool64
Any tips? Or can I just optimize this phone with special applications for rooted phones?
Greetings Avanox
In my opinion you should stay on stock rom. I have used both 4.4 and 5.1 but the stock 4.1.2 is most stable among them.
You should root your phone, make TA backup (in case you haven't unlocked bootloader in the past) then unlock bootloader.
Install Nemesis kernel.
Remove all unnecessary bloatwares.
Add these lines to build.prop
dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode=false
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v,m=y

Flash this zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByS_TYUaHe5SWi1HaE5qMUYwWVE/view?usp=docslist_api
Factory reset the phone.
My phone is allready rooted, and also unlocked.
Where can I install nemesis kernel??
I had an alternative app to remove bloatware ,
But what apps should I remove that are bloatware?
Oh and I have android 4.1.2 running on this phone.
What is this zip flash thing for??

You can flash the kernel in fastboot mode from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...nel-nemesis-kernel-v6-3-revised-21-2-t2214141
Also you can use any root file manager to delete apps from the system partition of your phone. I'm using ES file manager 3.2.5.5 (old version) because the new version is bloated itself. I don't exactly remember how many app I have removed but after deleting them I have the following apps (attached in screenshots) in system/app. Note that there are three extra apps - ESExp.apk, CPU.apk, Superuser.apk. The first one is file manager app, the second one is No frills CPU control app, and the last is SuperSU. Also I have updated Play Store (Phonesky.apk) and Google Play Services (GmsCore.apk) to the versions 6.7.13.E-all and 9.0.82(034) respectively and moved it to the system replacing the older versions. You can find both on www.apkmirror.com. I have also deleted apps from system/etc/product and system/etc/customization.
The zip contains Xperia keyboard 6.4.A.1.44, Xperia Home launcher 5.1.A.0.20 and Dialer app without any lag.
You can find build.prop in /system/build.prop and edit with a text editor. Those lines will allow ported Keyboard and Dialer app to work without getting FC.
