[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:
hi friends, i would like to remove all possible bloatware apps from my ST15i ics stock rom (4.1.B.0.431) but i'm not sure which apps are required to run my phone without fcs' and which to be considered as bloatware so i created this thread and posting all the system app names below. people, please guide me making my stock rom as light as possible without any compromise to its stability and if you would explain the use of each and every app it would be really useful to the readers. thanks :)

NOTE: this list includes each and every app from /system/app directory of ST15i to make a complete list of system apps.

WARNING: THESE ALL ARE NOT SAFE TO REMOVE APPS! THIS LIST INCLUDES EACH AND EVERY APP FROM THE /system/app DIRECTORY OF ST15i!
