Man.. all this deleting bloatware.. and I completely forgot about all the fricken ring tones, Alarm tones and notification tones! (I use Mp3's for all my alarms and ringtones anyways) there has to be 5-10MB of .ogg files in those folders! :D

Ill have one downsized X10mini please with a side of adw launcher.. but hold the bloatware and ringtones thanks ;)

EDIT---

o.k.. all up the sounds only come to 4.43MB but thats a couple more apps I can squeeze onto the phone, and I can just copy the sounds to the SD card and if I still want to use them in the future.. I can just select them from there :) woot!

EDIT--

hrm after re-booting and accessing my sound setup.. there are a bunch of se sounds still on there (I just deleted all the .ogg files in system/media/audio which got rid of 50% of the sounds (4.43MB) but there must be at least another 3-4MB of audio still on there).. now where are the other SE sounds for ringtones and notifications hiding on the phone.. cunning little buggers.. come out come out where ever you are..

any idea's?

EDIT--

after searching the whole damn phone.. I found all the SE ringtones and notification tones hiding on the sd card of all places! (sneaky buggers) oh well.. at least I was able to move the ones that were in phone storage to the SD card saving a bit room anyway.. ;)

How do you delete such apps?

I tried using root explorer, and a window pop-up says the file is read-only and can't be deleted.

hi All

I tried to remove with command -

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

busybox mv rollercoaster.apk /sdcard/safelist

then this following msg came -

"mv: can't preserve ownership of '/sdcard/safelist/rollercoaster.apk': Operation not permitted"

After reboot I did not see the apps but, then also the same memory ???? Is it stored somewhere ?? I am confused. need Help
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppirate:
You need to be root, use the 'su - ' command. You need to move them to '/data/app' to be able to see them after reboot and to safely remove them. Making a backup-copy in '/sdcard/safelist' is a good thing. See the wikipage at http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Xperia_X10_Mini_100%_safe_to_delete_list#Advised_method for more information.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raychi:
yes and NO.

if u use titanium backup to uninstall default/system apps, u CANT "restore" (reinstall) it later with the Restore button (it's gone). the titanium "Backup" seems to only backup application data but not the whole app (apk).

though for apps u install from market, it seems titanium saves a link to the market (for such case, u'd see the icon of an "M on a smiley" beside the app after Backup), and u'll be able to reinstall the app with the Restore button after uninstalling it (with titanium downloads it again from AM).

advice u to backup system/default apps (the apk) using other app before uninstalling them, since those apps has no link to AM n cant be dl. just in case u'd want it back some day later, worse case: accidental removal on some apps which'd cause error.

root explorer might do the tricks by renaming the default apps apk, or move them to sdcard. instead of permanently remove them, so u can still put it back later if were to factory-restore.

i still didnt remove anything but now im running out of memory to install anything so i really have to root it.

Thanks for this app list :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gorunn:
I menage to Replace Conversations.apk with HandcentSMS.apk, renaming HandcendSMS.apk to Conversations.apk, and SemcHome.apk with LauncherProPlus.apk with the same procedure. I replaced both apps in main app folder /system/app preventing them to get erased when i do factory reset.

In first i had a error screen when i booted phone about processes failed to start, but i had no other issues. Everything worked just fine.

But, im a bit opsesive nature, and i wanted to do that, and boot my phone without any errors.

After that i edited update.zip of theme pack that i use, removed Conversations.apk and SemcHome.apk so they wont override apps that i replaced. Transfered my update.zip to SDcard and booted up phone.

After that i did factory reset, booted in xrecovery, did deleting cache, factory reset and update it with my update.zip. Booted up phone and everything worked just fine, without any errors, so, now i have HandcendSMS and LauncherProPlus.apk as my default apps. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
I had root my x10 mini pro. Titanium backup worked fine as it got granted access from superuser.

Then I tried to uninstall wisepilot via titanium backup and it went thru the uninstalling process fine.

But then the icon is still there in the menu. What could go wrong?

I even test run cmd commands to list up installed pakages but wisepilot is not listing anymore.

Q. How come wisepilot is still in my phone menu and it even can open as usual like nothing happen.

Any suggestion to totally removed wisepilot?

Thanks in advance..

Edit: nevermind, found the way out. Deleted wisepilot comepletely..:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
I also faced this situation sum dayz before,i uninstalled marien browser 4m titanium backup...but the icon was still there....then I followed these steps-:

1.fristly uninstall it via titainium.

2.if the icon still there then go-setting-Application-Manage app and then search for that perticular app in that.

3.If it shows uninstall update...pls click!!

4.Then reboot ur phone.

5.Next startup ur icon wasn't there.

Feel Free to PM me if the problem still persist!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
@pratyush_gamer.. thanks but I found the way out already.

Another question: How do I move apps in the system to another location so I can uninstall them via phone. I read somewhere it is possible to move apps in system and uninstall them the way we uninstall app downloaded from the market.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Well i think the app2sd didn't let the apps out of system.......its still make directory in the system/sd(where all apps get installed).....so as per this you can uninstall apps like the old fashioned way.......Settings --> Application --> Manage App-->select and uninstall.......

So where you got problem in this?????
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hehe13:
i have tried another method..

u need root explorer, titanium backup and phone should be rooted.

navigate to /system/app and delete/move the application that you wish to remove.

open titanium back up, press option button and clear dalvik-XXX..

if you still see your icon, reboot..

i suggest moving unwanted app to your sd incase sumthing comes up.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
@pratyush_gamer, it's not a problem but I just want to make sure deleting apps in the right way.

@hehe13 and pratyush_gamer , How about clearing or delete the dalvik cache?

Titanium backup has it one click in settings, but required the donate pro version which I have only the regular Titanium backup. Also, is it actually safe to clear or delete dalvik cache? Beside Titanium backup, what other steps can be done deleting dalvik cache? FYI, I have Root explorer and Titanium backup installed and already granted access via superuser.

Edit: Went on jumped into the unknown. Using root explorer to delete the entire contents in dalvik cache folder(Select all and hit delete). reboot phone and walla! Everythings worked as it should be. 1st start up will take about 5min into idle screen and so be cool while waiting. Gained extra 12mb space.

1) I also uninstalled apps : Roadsync, wisepilot, usermanual, usersupport and those default games. Of these uninstalling steps I get another 11mb free space.

2) Install cache cleaner(from market) and run it. Get another 4mb free space.

3) Install history eraser(from market) and run it. Another 1.5mb free space. Use this wisely as you don't want it to delete your call logs. check settings before proceed.

All required root access and give them permanent right access with superuser.

Hahaha... hope this clear out and help others :)

Oh wow this thread has grown huge, didn't expect that.

I haven't been able to go online for a long time cause of RL issues, therefore I couldn't provide any updates or support on this thread, I did make a list but I noticed that it was rather unstable and the results were very different every time I removed an application (I remove one thing, camera doesn't work - I remove another, mediaplayer doesn't work).

Orkut app for Brazil X10 - how to remove

Great work gentlemen! Thanks for the list and the ideas.

I'm in Brazil and the X10 mini pro model comes with an Orkut social network app that is always there and restarts if you kill it. it does not take any CPU but takes some 10Mb in memory and since it is always restarting it is worth removing.

Removed the files from /system/bin and icon and app was still there. I searched for orkut and found an apk in /system/data after deleting it the app was gone.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
Well, it's been almost a year since the above was posted but I thought I might as well chime in anyway..

If you remove Conversations.apk, you won't be able to receive any MMS's. You can still send them and you can still send and receive SMS's as much as you like, but you won't even know if you've been sent an MMS, let alone download it. Best thing to do is go into the app, disable the notifications, and hide the thing in the depths of your app drawer (or use your launcher's HIDE function).

SemcHome.apk can just be removed. As long as you have another launcher already installed, the OS will automatically use the new one once you delete/uninstall SemcHome.

The only app's I've put into the /system/app folder are pre-existing system app's that I've rethemed (SemcPhone, SuquashiInputMethod, etc).

How did you remove wisepilot > What is apk name ?

Actually I installed Titanium backup (requires root). It did not run at first instance. On selecting problems it downloaded a version of busybox and worked. I backed app all the apps which I uninstalled. But once I tried to uninstall Wisepilot it said "Unable to find the installer .apk file" and is unable to install the app. So please guide us how you uninstalled Wisepilot?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Phenombox:
rm -r Wisepilot.apk (case sensitive) if you follow my guide in the first post.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] profetonan:
Well, sems that I'm a bit too stupid :) can you please tell me what exactly to write from commandprompt in c:\exploid_x10mini> where the file OmaDatasyncService.apk, that I want to upload also are located toghether with the ADB files.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Phenombox:
On my machine push didn't work, so here is an alternate way of doing it;

1. Copy your .apk to /sdcard.

2. Run;

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
cat /sdcard/OmaDatasyncService.apk > /system/app/OmaDatasyncService.apk

After this command it should have copied the file pack, however the adb shell renders un-useable (just close the cmd window).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Thanks Phenombox.

I just now tried your command (before reading your post :p) but it failed saying:

"rm failed for Wisepilot.apk, Read-only file system"

Incidentally it may be mentioned here that I had earlier upgraded my Wisepilot from playnow (from some lower version at the time of purchase to a higher version say 8.0?? which I don't remember now).

There should be some method for uninstalling read only files systems. Please guide me further in the matter.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Phenombox:
Are you sure you have root access on your phone and that you execute every command in the first post? Seems like you are either missing rootaccess, or 'su' command, or 'mount' command.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Actually I had not executed the "mount" command at first. Now after I had given "mount" command the app ultimately uninstalled after a series of process.

1) I executed all commands as per your first post.

2) After giving rm -r Wisepilot.apk the PC said nothing and came back to "#" command.

3) I exited but saw in the phone wisepilot still existing and opening and working!!

4) I again applied alll the commands and tried to delete Wisepilot.apk again. This time it said the file "Wisepilot.apk" does not exist.

5) Now I went to Manage Apps in setting and opened Wisepilot and selected "Delete Updates".

6) The Wisepilot icon was still there but on clicking that it said the app does not exist.

7) I rebooted the phone and now the icon is gone and 10mb free space regained by deleting Wisepilot.

Thanks Phenombox for your support.:D

Currently working on repacking Phone.apk so it doesn't turn off the screen while you are speaking, but the new Phone.apk renders call function totally un-useable.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
That's because you wrote "->" when it should be ">". The dash means standard input and it will cause everything you type on the "dead" shell be appended to the destination file, possibly corrupting it. People who used this tip should better do it again it without the dash.
