Which bloatware can be removed safely? - Sony Tablet S

Now after we've got the root, let's compile the list of apps/things/bloatware that can be removed safely.
There is a report already that Font Changer causes a bootloop.
So far I did not remove anything, just used Titanium to freeze System Update, Social News Feeder etc.

I removed the following from the system/app folder;
favorites.apk
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
PersonalSpace.apk
Phone.apk
S-Launcher.apk (I use ADW.EX)
SoundRecorder.apk (Which even in the folder can't be used)
Talk.apk
TelephoneProvider.apk (Use battery even though not in use)
VoiceSearch.apk
That was after a quick gander last night, over the weekend I'll post a full tweak guide.

sorry for the request but, can anyone posta a zip with fonts folder?

(Updated: Link fixed)
Edit: Uh oh, not directly flashable. Sorry I've just pulled a quick one. You'll need to extract the apks and copy them to system/app and set the permission with root explorer.

[Q] How to flash only 1 thing from ROM

Hi!
I found great work in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973859, but i like my stock modified by "myself"
And thats my question: How can I flash only statusbar from that rom to use it in my phone/ not to distribute in ROM i want it only for me?
Thanks for help, and congratulations for great work for team maded CNT ROM!
Jusr download the rom,extract it and go to system/app there's an app called "SystemUI" copy it to your phone and then replace your current SystemUI in system/app folder with that you have copied.
Then set permissions to r-w-r-r (chmod 644).

Yeah man i did it and it works, but I can't apply wallpaper from my gallery... Gallerry crashes before cutting image to apply window "unfortunelly galerry app has beed stopped" :/
but I copied SystemUI.apk SystemUIpreferences.apk and QuickPanelSettings.apk from that ROM maybe did too much Have to check but i cant now, maybe at 22.00 PM GMT +1
I think that's gallery app problem.
As I know nothing in gallery depends of SystemUI.
Are you using Album app from Till Kruspe mod?
When u apply wallpaper from existing wallpapers or live wallpaper does it work and plzzz post these type of threads in q/a forum

Sorry, I'm fresh here, and too much here to do and so little time. The problem was by my side, i deleted stock gallery cause i use newer one (from xperia T or S don't remember) so I install stock gallery right now .... And problem solved. Thanks for help, next time i'll watch for a better place for my questions.
SE LWW
take systemui / systemui preferences & also framework-res.apk
give 644 permissions to all of them and move them to /system/app (for ui & preferences) & /system/framework (only for framework)
DO NOT MAKE A MOD/ROM INCLUDING THAT WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION
Thread moved. Please post your questions here in future.

[XU]Deleted Apps

Hi. So uh, last night I tried installing this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184413 (Shutdown Animation with Sound, for Xperia U obv.) but since I was disappointed with it because the resolution was for landscape, I tried removing it. What I did was delete the shutdown animation file. Along with it, after exploring the zip file, I found out that there were some apps along with it which I didn't know about since it wasn't in the included in the dev's post about it. I deleted these files:
Backup-Restore.apk
Backup-wizard.apk
beats.apk
GpsSatellitesNotification.apk
helpapp.apk
HtcBeatsNotify.apk
NetworkLocation.apk
OnOffTools.apk
PSCertifiedSettings.apk
SemcUnplugChargerReminder.apk
ShutdownAnimation.apk
SomcCameraAutoUpload.apk
Question now is that, was it okay that I deleted these things? I'm currently not getting any problem atm but just to make sure.
Thanks!

Hopefully you have made a Backup before Flashing/Installing Mods. If so just restore your backup via recovery.
The majority of the listed apks are required for ur system. By installing the Mod you have overwritten the original files.
Files you can remove are: beats.apk, HtcBeatsNotify.apk, PSCertifiedSettings.apk, SemcUnplugChargerReminder.apk
I also assume that some of the files also have installed/flashed Framework and Permission entrys!
Best thing to do is repair your phone using PC Companion.
Afterwards you will have to root your phone again. Kep in mind, after fresh install and root install CWM recovery and do a Backup. Thus you will always have the chance to get back to your original system if you don't like something.
If I helped you, pls hit the Thanks button.

Extract the system/app/Superuser.apk and the system/xbin/su files from any deodexed, MiniCM7 based ROM and replace the files in your ROM with those. Be sure to set the correct permissions in the updater-script.

set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/su");
Assuming 'su' is in /system/xbin.
The superuser.apk in /system/app will get the same permissions as everything else in there through a set_perm_recursive line for the entire folder.

Just don't put one in.
There is a build.prop setting for it or maybe something you can do in init.d, but i can't remember what.
If you leave it out the system won't waste any time in displaying it anyway
For build.prop: debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

The various superuser apk's are only a front-end for the capabilities offered by the su binary, an older su binary will not have all the options that the newer apk's are taking advantage off, that's why they complain about it being obsolete. That is usually one of the first things that gets updated when you start using Google Play.

Custom ROMS usually have a custom .apk which contains the theme you can set with Theme chooser (minicm7 has minicm7.apk, minicm10 has minicm10.apk) The rest of the user-interface (the "google" stuff) is in framework-res.apk and systemui.apk as far as I know. And then there are some app-specific graphics in individual .apk's like calendar, mms and contacts apps etc.
I'd start with Emperor.dk's tutorial if you want to start learning about theming.

You can't, it's not for that device, at most you could take some apps and "try" to get them working. But there may be dependencies that the apps need that your device may not have.

I'm just saying that it is sufficient to remove all odex-files and will be deodexed firmware (as dex-components is within the APK). Or do you want to say that nobody knows here? :laugh:

muahahaha if so why then deodexing script exists?
have you ever tryed to compare smali files that are into classes.dex in an apk if are the same as in its odex file?
if same you can freely remove odex.....
Your solution maybe can work for some apks but is not recommended(absolutely for system apps), especially when you try to port apk and features..... so stop saying wrong suggestions, otherwise we will have dozen of users blaming and crying for apk FC.
And a lot of developers being seen idiots cause they have written deodex scripts???
read, read and read again
i see yuor career as developer muahahaha

Can you upload (or share the link if already exists) original ROM?
If these packages were really deodexed then it's really bad! ART compatible ROMs don't require deodex at all. Just delete odex files. APK/JAR have dex inside.
But after deodexing many class references are tampered because of deodexer technics.
---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
Oh, common.. Where is lib, etc, vendor folders? Such a wasted download...
System APKs require libraries and don't include them inside package. So, this "dump" is mostly useless...
