Nope, there is none. HBOOT can be flashed via fastboot, but fastboot on our phones doesn't allow to flash it thatswhy you have to use oem RUU method to flash the whole RUU zip.

[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I await your post in about one day asking for the Timescape APKs because you can no longer make phone calls.

You've probably created a placebo effect. You only think the phone is faster. Run benchmarks, then see how the phone operates. You may think deleting browser.apk or dialer.apk is a good idea now, but when you're in an emergency and the phone won't work, you can't blame anyone but yourself.

Also: You don't know what people need/want from their phone, so it's best to not act so superior. (especially because you're far from the first to delete apps from their phone.)
[XPERIA X10 General] Swifty76:
I have looked into what files I can delete and I have also had to re flash because of my curiosity. Since your obviously the degrading type I can see you have an obvious lack of respect for someone who has done the research and the hit and miss troubleshooting of finding out what a general audience would want to possibly remove if not needed. Not everyone has facebook, or uses youtube. I personally prefer using youtube on my monitor compared to a smaller more costly device such as a data restricted cell. I don't use twitter, facebook, or any timescape dependent service as sms/mms are handled through the default sms/mms app that then forwards it's data to timescape. I wouldn't be in the aerospace industry(military to boot) if I have no idea what I am doing. Since I was smart enough to back up all the default app .apk's after a fresh flash then I know I will not be asking you for any of the apk's, your useless comment doesn't carry any weight.

*I was on the phone when I removed the timescape app since it is not tied to the dialer service.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
No point in starting an arguement.

But, not everyone is you. If I'm on a long train ride, the ability to watch YouTube videos is a lifesaver. Obviously one could watch on a monitor, but I don't have that option when I'm not at home. The point of a smartphone is to be able to do things you can do with a PC, when you're not at home.

Timescape is tied to many more things than you think, at least in 1.6. Maybe SE removed those dependencies in 2.1, but if you're deleting the major marketing point of the phone, why did you buy the phone to begin with? Just food for thought. Not looking to start fights.
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
Sorry but i know many people who have unistalled Timescape (even Mediascape) since they have 2.1 with no issues at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] Swifty76:
The main purpose of buying the phone for me was not for the software SE has built on top of android(Timescape/Mediascape), but more for the hardware achievement that Sony has produced by packing so much functionality into one mobile device.

Just having android without any manufacturer modification still gives a ton of room for growth and possibilities to be seen. My goal was to supply a list of apps that are safe to delete without disturbing the stability or functionality of the phone as a whole, while providing another easy work around. These apps I know, as I have tested with 3 phones now, do not effect the user experience greatly. Since I have removed the apps I have had no problems with data, texting, phone calls, boot loops, the market, or browsing. Pick and choose which apps you need and don't need but from what I have removed I'm getting a greater user experience based on performance and alternative functionality.

Games and third-party apps still work fine, but are now faster.
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
I agree. There are many more apps you can delete with no issues, it depends only if you're gonna use them or not.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
If you were looking for functionality, you bought the wrong device. Single touch, 65k color screen and 384MB of RAM? Not what I'd call the pinnacle of technical achievements.
[XPERIA X10 General] Swifty76:
The number of dependencies in 1.6 where removed in 2.1 as most of the initial software on the phone are layers. Sony stated that they learned from 1.6 by not going too deep into the core of android but more by means of creating "layers"(boot apps) on top of the core system.

Since they switched to layers they created the possibility to give rooted users the option of choosing alternatives to the initial software. The obvious apps you can remove if unused are facebook and youtube as they are obvious non dependents.(Facebook does have a slight dependency to timescape, but with timescape removed then that issue is not relevant)
[XPERIA X10 General] Swifty76:
For the price to features ratio and the features they have included (8.1 MP Camera, 720P recording, 1Ghz processor, 4.0" tft screen + others) It is as functional as I need. Multitouch will eventually find it's way to the phone one way or another. Also on a 4" screen the difference in colors is unnoticeable side-by-side to other devices that I have checked out. RAMS not an issue with a decent task manager.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
I bought the phone to be a android phone.. not some piece of infected bloatware.

I want my phone phone to be mine not SE's..

So if you don't want to remove time scape... then ignore this thread.
[XPERIA X10 General] Swifty76:
Exactly my thoughts. The biggest performance jump I saw from deleting any of the apps was by taking out timescape. I bought the phone because it was android and because a majority of hardware is quality. I didn't buy it because it was SE, that just happened to come with it. :p
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Hey Swifty76, do you mind feeding us an update for say maybe the next week or two on the performance of your phone? Just a quick so far it been perfect OR crap I had to reflash because my phone messed up. Reason im asking is because I would remove alot of those apps you listed, but I don't need my phone messing up on me...so just keep us posted on how its going and if all is well Ill go for it to. Thanks for the post.....try to keep an eye on the camera for pictures and video as thats important to me.
[XPERIA X10 General] tetracortica:
uhhh... so i have to root my phone to remove those apps, right?
[XPERIA X10 General] fuusuke:
Lol if anyone bought an x10 for timescape nor mediascape
[XPERIA X10 General] Swifty76:
Yeah you have to root your phone to be able to properly uninstall a majority of these apps. The camera is working great so far on all 3 phones. The camera is saving and viewing properly as well. I would recommend the 3D gallery as a picture viewer. Winamp or poweramp are good for the beats.

Haven't found a decent video player yet, anyone know of some good ones?
[XPERIA X10 General] ProBoner:
The only video player worth installing is RockPlayer
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
I agree.

For video--- RockPlayer

For Pictures--- Gallery or JustPictures (it has One Touch zoom that works great)

For Music--- PowerAmp (simply amazing!)
[XPERIA X10 General] Anders6:
OBS dont remove gtalk, it will couse a lot of problems, trust me, if you did, read here xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6822850
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I've said it probably three hundred times on these forums: We are NOT the target audience for this phone. The phone sells to millions, each who bought it for different reasons. I regret my purchase, as now Docomo is releasing Japanese-market focused Android phones, instead of the world-focused X10.

But yeah, to the OP, my point was, you can't just delete everything in one go, say performance is awesome 20 minutes later. There's just no way to tell how the phone will do after a week or two in this state. Maybe it really is that much faster, which would be nice. But, to prematurely say it's amazing then find out later that something doesn't work properly would suck. And, from reading XDA, people always delete things they need and come back and whine about them because they didn't back up properly.

[Hero CDMA General] mxl180:
I was in the sprint store today and notice the Optimus S and was IMPRESSSED.

It's very responsive and smooth. I was really curious to why and after some research..

Qualcomm MSM7627 chipset with dual cores really help with graphics and games.

technical specs:

*

Two ARM cores

integrated into a single chip – a dedicated CPU core and a dedicated modem processor – for an unparalleled level of integration:

o 1. 600MHz applications processor with floating point unit and L2 cache

o 2. 400MHz modem processor

Finally Got it

Here's my video showcasing the SPEED of apps and games:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4chj2BOUec4

-1st app I launch was GoogleMaps, then Youtube, Angry Birds, and Burning Tires

Compared it side by side (I have overclocked hero)

What I liked..

-TONS faster than hero, website scrolling smmooooth

-It's only $50...

-3G so no $10 surcharge

-Slightly brighter

-I believe it was 512mb ram (hero has 256?)

-Doesn't feel cheap at all

What didn't liked...

-No led light, but there's some apps that can make your phone vibrate for notifications

-Fiberglass display (scratches easier, but will not crack if dropped)
[Hero CDMA General] mdpirello:
i have both phones and i love the optimus. it loads up real fast compared to the hero. i will not get rid of my optimus unless it is for an evo. that is how good of a phone that i think it is. it also has alot hotter receiver in it and gets a signal in places that i couldn't before. overall i rate it an 8.5 out of 10
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Mm, thats nice to hear. Maybe my mom would like an Optimus instead of her crappy blackberry.
[Hero CDMA General] c00ller:
Intersting, I didn't expect it to be that great! Now I'm looking forward to try one out
[Hero CDMA General] trindy:
I was looking at the Optimus too. My heart REALLY wants an Evo but my head just cant justify paying for the 4g service when it's not in my area and probably wont be for a very long time.
[Hero CDMA General] jwilson02:
I just bought this phone and I am in LOVE. It feels soo good in your hand, perfect weight and balance. The screen is vibrant, battery life good, and with froyo 2.2 it is amazingly buttery smooth. It makes the EVO seem like a goliath in a good way. Perfect phone and I've owned alot of phones. Now wheres our roms??!
[Hero CDMA General] MrDowntown12:
My sister just got one of these and I was thoroughly surprises as well. The speed of this phone puts the hero to shame. Everything is fast and smooth with no lag anywhere. The scrolling the app drawer and most noticeably the typing are all fast and smooth. I'm running cm6.1 overlooked and here phone stock is 10 times better. Angry birds runs perfect on it and the gallery and camera have no hesitation when opening or being used. This is a good phone. I'm seriously considering buying it to hold over until another top of the line is released for gingerbread.
[Hero CDMA General] spiritcrusher33:
I was thinking about the lg. before we moved to verizon.. But since getting the droid incredible..I cant think of any android I would rather have atm..perfect size. and everything just blazes.. Sprint really needs something like the DINC without 4g.. etc,, cause they have a big hole in the android selection..

Those midrange.. like the sanyo and sammy. both suck.. basicly they need a evo with a smaller screen and no 3g. oh wait thats the DINC..lol

Thats the only thing I like bout verizon the selection... Sprint always has gaps.

But that lg does like pretty decent.. might tell my bro.. since he has one of my heros atm.. still have 2 in my dresser with my tp2 and a tour..
[Hero CDMA General] c00ller:
I just tried it at the store and completely agree, it's a suuuuuper fast and smooth experience. I don't know how they did it, but it's a joy to use.

I also agree with the comment above me. The Droid Incredible has the best balance of performance and physical size, and it would be awesome if Sprint had something similar without the 4G $10/mo surcharge.
[Hero CDMA General] srkmagnus:
At first I was a little iffy about letting a relative get the Optimus S before I got a chance to use it and read up on the drvice. Boy was I blown away by the phones speed and smoothness. Its a nice device that I wouldn't mind having for daily use.

Form factor is nice as well. It would be nice is a few showed up on eBay at a reasonable price,I'd be interested in getting one off contract to hold be over if I need a phone.
[Hero CDMA General] nick_danger:
It will be $1.00 at Best Buy on Black Friday. I also saw something about it being FREE at Radio Shack.

I've been reading up on this phone all over on different forums and from what I've learned:

Rooting can be accomplished by using Z4Root from the Market - even after the recent OTA update.

The OTA update includes Swype.

No Flash yet. The GPU is fast enough, but apparently it isn't supported by Adobe. Not sure 100%, but the GPU may be missing a certain hardware component to allow for true GPU-accelerated Flash. It would explain part of the cheaper price.
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
I dont care how good it is, I will never in LIFE buy any LG phone i dont care how fast or sleek it is I just wont.....what.....I have my reasons lol. HTC for the win or samsung. That is all. :)
[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:
Agreed! :D
[Hero CDMA General] nick_danger:
Haha, I agree on the HTC front - they know how to make a sweet phone, but have you seen the garbage that is the Samsung Intercept and Samsung Transform? Complete junk. The only I had two Samsung phones in my life - some old silver flip phone, and the A900 (best flip phone ever!), but as far as I can tell the only quality phone they make now is the Epic (and variants).
[Hero CDMA General] boiker:
And Samsung Moment all use the same processor and have an OpenGL ready chipset and no OpenGL drivers. This makes the phones crap. The Intercept is also EVDO Rev.0 which I believe fixed the radio lock bug that plagued the Moment. The transform is Rev.A (without the radio lock) but the same attrocious OpenGL performance. Samsung has completely failed at producing decent mid and low range android devices. it's remarkable.
[Hero CDMA General] spiritcrusher33:
thats why sprint needs a middle of the ground high performer. like the htc incredible.. even though i hate verizon.. This phone has really impressed me so far..
[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:
Forget middle of the road, I want a beastly dual core 4g monster!
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:

[Android Software Development] kellinwood:
I've developed an open-source java library for signing files onboard the device and an app that demonstrates its use.

The app is "ZipSigner" and its in the market. Binaries and source for the libraries and app are available at http://code.google.com/p/zip-signer.

More information on using the app can be found at http://sites.google.com/site/zipsigner/

BASIC API USAGE:

import kellinwood.security.zipsigner.ZipSigner;

try {
// Sign with the built-in default test key/certificate.
ZipSigner zipSigner = new ZipSigner();
zipSigner.setKeyMode('testkey');
zipSigner.signZip( inputFile, outputFile);
} catch (Throwable t) {
// log, display toast, etc.
}

I developed this code as part of an effort to create a theming application that creates update.zip files on the device (ZipThemer).

I tested by having Titanium Backup generate its update.zip, signed it with the ZipSigner app, and then flashed it in recovery.

Enjoy,

Ken
[Android Software Development] kellinwood:
Version 1.1

Version 1.1 is out. The library code size is significantly smaller in this version since I reduced the need to include sun.security.pkcs and sun.security.x509. For example, the ZipSigner app is now 1/6 its former size (now 47kb).
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I'm not sure I see the relevance of this. I don't know about all devices, but from my understanding, for and update.zip to be accepted by the device, it needs to be signed by a trusted authority (i.e HTC or Samsung, etc.). On the other hand, if you're rooted and have a custom recovery partition, they ignore signatures anyway. Is it the case that some devices require a signed update.zip, but then don't give a hoot who signs it?
[Android Software Development] kellinwood:
Yes, the root recovery programs do verify the signature, and no, the certificate does not need to be trusted.

I'm assuming this API its only going to be picked up for use in root-enabled apps where the developers can assume the users have the ability to flash updates.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
All of them? Are you sure? Clockwork recovery on my HTC Aria cares not-at-all about signatures on update.zip's.
[Android Software Development] kellinwood:
Am I sure? No. After a bit of research it appears the recovery programs, if they verify the signature, require the signing certificate to match one built into recovery itself. In the case of most root recovery programs I think this is the test certificate available from Google, and also the one used by default in my code.
[Android Software Development] Runawaycoder:
Clockworkmod recovery has the option to turn off signiture verification
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Yes, but the question seems to be: what signatures does it accept? The whole point is to verify the authenticity of the update, but if it uses the google debug key, then anybody can sign an update with that key thus eliminating any benefit of authenticity verification.

In other words, why bother turning it on at all?
[Android Software Development] ante0:
If you use Amon_RA you need to sign them.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I'm not familiar with Amon_RA (other than the Egyptian deity). What certificates does it use for authentication?
[Android Software Development] kellinwood:
Amon_RA on my Droid Eris allows update.zip files to be flashed if they've been signed with the Google test key.
[Android Software Development] kellinwood:
I was force to released "ZipSigner 2" today to deal with app signing issues that prevent further updates to the original app. There will be no more updates to the original version. Please uninstall ZipSigner and install "ZipSigner 2" in its place. See this page for the gory details of what went wrong.

Hi Dev,

Great work! i have a question though, i have modified the file inside the candy crush APK files (1000 lives + 200 moves), and using your app to sign it again, it installs but the game cannot connect to facebook. Would you know why is this?
