[Q] Newby: what apps should I delete to run my phone faster? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi,
I want to unlock an root my xperia U. So I can start delete some apps which I do not use. I thought using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/themes-apps/tool-multi-xperia-tool-alexdroid00-v1-9-t2212734
The main reason is that i want to have more RAM, so it goes faster. When I for example push the phone widget it takes 4-5 seconds to see the keyboard (sometime longer) and the camera can take up to 10 seconds.
Which is for me just to long.
I have been reading a lot today, but still find it scary to just remove everything I saw in the thread of Divaksh with his tool speedy droid http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/tooljb-ics-cm-speedy-droid-v5-1-rom-t2135702
As for example I use the email that come standard and also the album.
But I would like to remove stuff like Chrome, Talk, faceboo.
So can anybody share his experience of what he has deleted so the phone goes faster. Because the lists I see don't always explain what they are.
Also, should iI first make a backup with an app called titanium backup? Because I assume it is to backup all the app in vase I want them back, rigjt?
Any help is welcome.
Thx
Johny

You don't have to uninstall any app, but you can do it by downloading a root uninstaller app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.free&hl=es
Also you can stop some startup apps using All-In-One Toolbox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.toolbox.full&hl=es
Xperia U stock rom has got bloatware and you should replace some apps like the album if u want better performance.
Hope it helped to you!

Thank you jose and Fydo.
I have been starting to delete the apk. Well not deleting. i found another app, which is full free. And let you remove the apk and leaves it in a recucling bin. And them after a while you can delete it if you want so.
The list of Sony is huuuuuuge!!!
But as you said Fydo, it should be the same on my xperia U.
So I guess I will be starting delete all this stuff
