[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chiyaanchinnu:
Hello All, This thread is about the safe removal of bloatware that Xperia Ray 4.1.B.1.13 ICS ROM contains. Screenshots in 2nd post

There are many threads which serves the same purpose, also there are many tools and flashable zips to achieve this.

After trying all those I found that my phone still has some bloatware left which can be removed safely. So, I thought creating a thread might help the 2011 Xperia users which apps in the /system/app/ folder can be removed safely.

Now my phone's /system/app/ folder size is 64MB(Calculated with ES File Manager) feels blazing fast and smooth.

Important: You should have some commonsense while deleting the apps. You need a rooted 4.1.B.1.13 firmware for this deletion process. All other ROM users may also get benefit of this list.

How To Delete:

- By using any root explorer app. Browse through /system/app/ and delete the listed apps.

OR

- By using the command - adb shell rm /system/app/apkname.apk

Though there is no description provided for the app you can remove it with no second thought. They're all useless and are sometimes available on the Play Store. Some apps you can find a replacement which are lighter versions.

Just in case you deleted an useful app, don't panic, I'm posting a link where you can get all the system apps of 4.1.B.1.13 from here: SYSTEMAPPS_ST18i_4.1.B.1.13_VODAFONE_DE

If you feel you can free up even more system space, kindly post which all apps/stuff can be further deleted.

Apparently, this thread can be added to the	[COLLECTION] Themes, Mods, Apps, Tuts etc. [UPDATE-3/8/13]

Happy Modding, Peace.
