Ok so I'm a n00b and deleting some bloatware apps on my R800at and now I need them back to do an OTA (didn't freeze like I was supposed to)

Is it easier to go through each .apk I uninstalled OR just re-flash with a stock rom if there is one available for the AT&T R800at 2.3.3 ?

My phone is still has a locked bootloader and is rooted 2.3.2
[Xperia Play General] stewart1988:
I have frozen the Chinese keyboard, Live wallpapers, FIFA, Sims, Camera (Using the modded version from market), Friends music & videos (Some Facebook sharing app?), NeoReader, Setup Guide, postcards (Touchnote) Running 2.3.3
[Xperia Play General] juxtapose519:
Thus is the beauty of Ti Backup's freeze function. You can freeze something so that it's out of your face and not taking up any memory, and then you can unfreeze it at any time if you ever want to use it again.

AND you don't lose your root if you want to OTA update firmware later.

Anyone silly enough to not pay the $6 for the greatest app ever made is just crazy.
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
I've never messed with this because I didn't want to break the ability to do OTA updates, but I've been running low on space for a while and I'm trying to figure out the best course of action.

One problem I have with these extended periods between official updates is that a lot of apps update themselves and consume much more room in addition to what they take up already in the stock ROM. So I was thinking of using Titanium Backup or some other utility like it to update the packages in the ROM with the current versions. Does anyone know if this will cause a problem when doing an OTA update like it would if I were to delete the apps?
[Xperia Play General] stewart1988:
OTA update will mess your phone up and you will have to re-flash a rom back to your device using FlashTool and start a fresh if you remove any of the built in apps/games. :mad:

I have now just removed the crap and when a new update comes (Mainly if ICS comes) then I will just backup my apps/settings. Re-flash to 2.3.2 / root then update to the latest using OTA and hopefully retaining root and then restoring my apps/settings :)

Long process for an update but if you need/want more space then this may be the way to go...

Seems I uninstalled com.android.setupwizard by accident. I went to the downloadable list of stock apps, but don't see it there. It's not the SEMCSetupWizard.apk is it?

Are you on 2.3.3? I had horrible standby time with it. After upgrading to 2.3.4 the standby time is miles better. And some bugs went away too.
[Xperia Play General] Maximomx:
Thanks for the safe list, i just got root and remove all verizon &%^#ware.

:)
[Xperia Play General] noojster:
So far after reading the mixed opinions and stuff

I'd say the best result and the safest way to do this is by having it backed up and uninstalling it so there's both free ram and internal memory right?

By the way, where does titanium backup exactly places the backed up files? (sdcard path)

its not a problem to back it all up if you have decent sdcard storage capacity.

And also, if I freeze market updater and uninstall the updated market will I be stuck to the stock market forever? (I like the old market and I hate it when it updates to the new one with the new layout..)

Thanks!

[Xperia Play General] vdciii:
i have updated my phone to 2.3.4. then rooted.

The thing is, what if the 2.3.5 comes, then my still is still rooted with locked bootloader. Can i directly update my phone or unroot it first then update?

Whats the possible action that might lead to bricking my phone?

Another question, there is this app in my phone called appxtra? is this also safe for removal in our play or there is any advantage for letting it stay? thanks :)
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
I've never heard of that app (so i dont have it) and I don't imagine it's too important
[Xperia Play General] dannejanne:
Titanium Backup stores backups in sdcard/TitaniumBackup. And yeah if you uninstall the apps you get some extra space. If you freeze them they are still there they just can't be started.

And yes you can freeze market updater, uninstall the updates and then you can use the old market.

I backed up AT&T Hot Spots 0.955 from my stock AT&T 2.3.3 FW using Titanium Backup Pro and loaded it onto generic NA 2.3.4 but I don't get the AT&T logo in my status bar when in range of an AT&T Hot Spot like I did with the AT&T FW. Any advice for getting it to work?

I uninstalled some of the system apps via root uninstaller but I can't uninstall update center. It gives me a notification to update to 4.0.2.A.0.42 but I'm already on that firmware. Any of you uninstalled update center?

Edit: root uninstaller didn't uninstall sh*t .. Did it again with titanium...
[Xperia Play General] Aimebob:
Hi guys

I've just followed your instructions concerning these bloatwares, but I guess I crapped. I've used Titanium backup and looks like I've uninstalled some important stuff, Now my phone is stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo when booting .... Any solution for this ?
[Xperia Play General] shaynethepain:
Yes you can safely uninstall the Update Center using Titanium Backup. All this does is disable the prompts for OTA updates for your phone. You can still use PC companion, SEUS or the flash tool to update or flash new firmware.

Removed Browser

I just removed my factory browser because I use Dolphin. Everything is still running, but I have had a few problems. I can call people still but I'm not receiving calls, they go straight to voice mail. I notice when I uninstalled the app that there were a lot of other things intigrated into it. I'm thinking about just downloading a dialer and uninstalling the factory dialer.

Any way anyone have any information on what I did and what else I might have lost/messed up?

I also noticed that some games didn't work any more and a lot of my game data was lost.

i used systemcleanup to remove the bloatware. this app is awesome. u can freeze the apps. uninstall. it also clean cache. i use titanium backup before. but i prefer this app..
[Xperia Play General] Ickey09:
I'm using both right now as well. I like system clean up over titanium as well.

Anyone with info on removing the stock browser would be awesome. I need to get incoming calls again.

[Xperia Play General] julianpaul:
You should probably edit your post to make the implications of deleting the usbux apk clearer. i froze mine and there was no usb connectivity with the pc. which was further compounded by the entry missing from the systemcleanup list altogether. a few minutes of panic later, i went into system/app and renamed the file back to .apk. (systemcleanup simply renames the file to .apk_ when freezing).

[Xperia Play General] SirRudolph:
If you look for Stock Based roms, you'll find some that are Debloated. Which pretty much removes the useless apps like the ones in the list on the first page. If you want more removed should use Titanium Backup. (probably just for certain games)

Rooted but unlocked bootloader xperia play?

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this XDA forum.

I have a sony xperia play r800x model and i have not yet activated it.

it runs android 2.3.2 and i would like to know if there's a way to root the phone without unlocking the boot loader?

also let me know if anyone can unlock the boot loader for me if I make a donation.

Thanks

I didn't notice much changes of battery life, but the speed and interface are a little bit better or just how I felt about it.

However, for sure you have more free memories and never have to see the icon of the apps that you don't want to use.

I have a few questions about this. And I hope that someone could help me.

Everybody is talking about how important it is to backup and to freeze. But I really don´t get the points in this (I AM A NOOB).

If I don´t want FIFA or Playstation Pocket or News & Weather for example. Is there a problem with just using Titanium Backup to just delete these? Will it somehow break my phone?

I would appreciate if someone could explain.
[Xperia Play General] shocito:
Those apps are safe to delete.

It's simple, if you aren't sure to delete "a non listed junk app" or a "maybe later use app"... freeze it. (if you haven't any problems with others apps, create a backup and uninstall it)

Odd thing happened when removing apps

I just rooted my X Play yesterday and started playing around with Titanium Backup Pro and noticed something odd. I wasn't going to bring this thread back to life but since someone beat me to it I'm posting a strange thing that happen while I was removing apps. I removed a bunch of apps from several of the long lists in previous posts. But instead of gaining free memory I actually lost some. When I started in the “All” list I was at 255 MB free and now I'm at 248MB free and in the “Running” I was about 238 MB Free and now I'm at 216MB free. I uninstalled a lot of stuff, some I deleted but my free memory went down not up. :eek: I'm new to this so I don't have a clue, does anyone have any ideas? :confused:

I do like the 38 second boot time however. :D

All,

Why all the fuss to Chevron Unlock or any other hack when you can just register it as a developer phone and unlock it officially for free????

Oh, maybe you all didn't know about the free part, maybe that is the piece of magic everyone is seeking...

Here is how to register your phone as a developer phone FOR FREE....

1. Get and verify a Dreamspark account. Two options here....

a. If you are a student with an email address ending in .edu just go to www.dreamspark.com, register and verify the email address.

2. Create an Apphub account and link it to your Dreamspark LiveId.

a. After Dreamspark is verified, go to http://create.msdn.com/en-US/ register your Windows Live ID and signup as a student. It will ask if you have a verified Dreamspark account, follow the steps to link the two accounts. (I didn't take screenshots but intuitive)

3. Populate your required profile information to the point that "My Dashboard-->My Windows Phone" does not show any more pending tasks.

a. You MUST go through the process to submit a "DummyApp" for Windows Mobile 6.5 to Windows MarketPlace before Geotrust will send you the email to verify your identity. Just put "Dummyapp for id verification" in the notes sections. You will have to upload a .cab and a bunch of icons that all have to be sized properly. Just take a .png file and resize it a bunch of times and upload it. Doesn't matter what it is.

b. Geotrust will send an email requesting you to verify some info. I received it about 10 minutes after submitting my app, but could take 24 hours. I answered 4 questions, and then about 2 hours later Apphub took off the "identity verification pending" alert.

c. I also submitted my bank account info, but not sure if this was necessary.

4. Download the Windows phone developer tools from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce

5. Run the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool. Sign in with Windows Live ID you registered at AppHub, connect your phone and make sure it is not screen locked, viola, Windows 7 Phone now unlocked. And you can unlock 2 other Windows 7 phones too for a total of 3 phones.

Total process took less than 24 hours due to waiting on Geotrust and MS confirm.

-Paul
[Windows Phone 7 General] GuestK00306:
This is only for students,so its not really an option for everyone

Sent from my 7 Pro T7576 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] Paul_Hammons:
Follow the link on 1B above if you are not a student or do not have a .edu email address. Works just fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] SD5150:
I assume he ment that Dreamspark is for students that cannot afford the software but can bring in revenue to Microsoft with the program and games they create. So, if you signup under the guise of a student, you can kind of defrauding Microsoft. But I guess that is a moral issue, so most people may not care. But, there are also schools and online classes that do not provide any sort of educational email addresses, so having a way to gain access as someone studying and taking classes, is nice. So, in those cases I think its ok. I personally use a Austraila.edu email since my online classes didn't provide anything. But, this might be a nice way to get an unlock if you are NoDo and can Go(do) back.
