Believe or not, I have managed to root my phone. It is a big success for a dummy!
I have downloaded Root Uninstaler form Market and would like to get rid of some junk apps. Junk for me because I don't need them.
I SWEAR I have SEARHED, but some poeple had problems after uninstalling and some not and I am CONFUSED. So please help me, this is way out of my league and I can't screw it up.
I also don't have access to a pc where pc companion, super one click etc work, I had to BEG a friend and I don't want to do that again so I can't simply reinstal software everytime I mess something up.
So please, let me know if I can remove
-Timescape stuff without loss of funcionality to sms, contacts, calls ( I just hate Twitter and Facebook)
-Talk (it is Gmail talk right?) without losing Market
-Backup and restore- the default one-I hate it because it keeps running on its own, even though I did not set it too.
-Default input? This keeps running too
-Device monitor
-Uwlop service
-default music player
I obviously can't delete Messagin if I want sms to work? But it kees running too even if I dont get any sms etc.
And come to think of it, I don't really need gmail either.
Please, someone with knowledge, reply. I have searched but I can't find my way arounf here well and i am really confused.
Yes, i use systemapp uninstaller from the market. there are some more of the sys apps which can be removed, such as play now too.
-Timescape stuff without loss of funcionality to sms, contacts, calls ( I just hate Twitter and Facebook) YES
-Talk (it is Gmail talk right?) without losing Market YES
-Backup and restore- the default one-I hate it because it keeps running on its own, even though I did not set it too. PROBABLY TRY IT
-Default input? This keeps running too DONT KNOW
-Device monitor DONT KNOW
-Uwlop service DONT KNOW
-default music player PROBABLY

Check X10 mini wiki page. It has a list of applications you can safely remove. Of course it is always better to have backups before removing system apps.
To uninstall timecape for example there are several things you need to uninstall: timescape provider, timescape plugin, timescape, sns provider and sns cache provider.
I your place i wouldn't mess with default input as changing keyboards might b above your level at this moment. Perhaps later when you feel more comfortable.
Thanks sofar you guy, your info helped a bit.
At the wiki page some things are not metioned.
Including backup and restore and everything to do with sync.
semchekin servce?
I think backup and restore can be deleted, but i'd leave semccheckin and anything to do with syncing.
Ok thanks.
So far I haven't wrecked anything.
Now this just leaves default SMS application. What if I uninstall this?
If you use handcent, i think you can delete stock messaging.
If you use go sms, then you have to keep stock messaging app, because go sms uses some stock messaging functions.
You can delete default music player if you have a replacement, but most music players will start running on their own.
I use Handcent. Thank you, you have been of great help.
Be carefull!
I'm pretty sure deleteing default sms app made me lose delivery reports in Hnadcent sms and removing Talk made me lose ability to download in Market
So is anyone here using both facebook contacts (with phonenumbers ofcourse) and GO Sms? I love Go SMS, in my opinion it beats ChompSMS (which has the same problem) and HandCent (Which doesnt have the problem, but it looks like crap). But the problem is that it simply cant show facebook contacts.. When composing an sms it won't show anyone who is a facebook contact and where as in the standard messaging app i can see the name and photo of a contact who sent me an sms, in Go SMS it just shows the phone number.
Is there anything that can be done or is it entirely up to the Go SMS developer? 90% of my contacts are just facebook people, i can't be arsed to manually create them all as normal contacts
Thanks,
No one can help?
Just found this thread via Google, I can't believe how much time I've wasted messing around with Google Contacts/FB Sync for this issue.
My suggestion is file a bug report on GoSMS and hope the devs can fix it. It shouldn't even be that difficult - just a specific case for handling Facebook contacts. They've demonstrated they're willing to deal with FB-specific issues as shown by their new 'import FB photo' feature.
Do let me know if you figure out a workaround? Like you, I know Handcent does it fine, but it looks like arse.

You have to have a rooted phone.
Rebuild the contact database or install a custom rom with that feature installed.
Will try to search some links for you and update the post

I'll make this as simple as possible. When my phone is on (in standby) & I send a mail on my computer two of the people in my 'too' list receive duplicate mails no one else does. Always the same two. When phone is off & I send them a mail they only get one mail. I just got off the phone with Sprint tech support & after an hour of course they can't figure it out. I have the stock mail app & use the downloaded Yahoo mail app which I like better. I think I've tried just about everything I can think of to remedy this but still no luck. I sure hope you folks can figure it out. Phone is stock & have removed duplicate contacts. Maybe my SD card ? If so I don't know how to check that out.
Hi guys
A very annoying issue is happening: I cannot assign ringtones to my contacts , not via Contacts, not via Music player. When I try to assign them.via Music player, Set as and so on, I can only see 10 or 15 of my all contacts, of course not the ones I need. When I try to assign it via Contacts, I dont have the option of Ringtone under the respective contacts. I am a very experienced user, so I have my contacts saved in my phone, I dont have them merged with any other accounts, and this never happend before, as I had another S3 before this one and also S2 and other droids. Dont really understand why this happens. When I look inside Contacts I see all of them of course, with the small phone and sim card icons next to them. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi
I have a Motorola XT319 Android 2.3
I tried to save some space linking (LINK2SD) the contacts app and contact storage app.
I first had to Move them to user app (as they were system apps) and then proceeded to link. All went well but when I tried to open the PHONE app y will NOT load. Nor the CONTACTS app. I tried to UNlink it and switch it back to system app but it wouldn't.
I can't make any phone calls. PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!
Problem Update
I got no answers so far so I deleted all cache and data files and restablished factoru settings. Since reboot, I keep getting to error messages, One recarding android.process.acome and the other Google Frameworks. They keep poping up over and over. The dialer will know load, but the contacts WILL NOT.
Contact Sync is IMPOSIBLE and even though I unselect the sync option, the errors keep poping up.
I believe the problem has someting to do with the contact app.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
