[Xperia Play General] sonicfreak360:
I am creating this thread for a list of which apps you can remove from the r800x's system. This thread is meant SPECIFICALLY for r800x which is why I am not posting a reply in the existing thread located here!

THESE APPS DO NOT HAVE TO BE REMOVED, I AM JUST LISTING WHICH ONES CAN BE REMOVED WITHOUT MESSING UP THE PHONE!!! (meaning FC's, etc.)

After removing these apps, I HIGHLY recommend you install "Sd Maid" from the market to remove all data related to these apps!!!

After all the apps and data are removed, delete all the .dex files taht are located in /data/dalvik-cache, and then reboot your phone!

The reason for deleting these files is that they are files that are re-created by the system on boot for any apps you have installed, whether they are in the system or installed from the market. That means when you reboot after deleting these files, your phone will reboot slower then usual because it is created the dalvik cache from your existing apps. It will only do this once, so your phone will not reboot slow every time.

This is my first thread on XDA, so please click thanks if this helped you!

If you know any other apps that may be removed, or know what the unused apps do, please tell me!
