What is the purpose of "Android Core Apps" Process? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello All,
I have recently purchased "Xperia S" mobile and upgraded to ICS version. I always see that my RAM usage is high because of
# Android Core App
# Xperia Home
I want to understand whats the use of "Android Core App" and what kind of apps its running in the backend, will it harm my OS if its stopped?
For "Xperia Home" also, i don't understand why the process is very huge, FYI : I have shortcuts placed in my Homescreen and also folders, will that use RAM?
All your replies/suggestions are appreciated.
Thank.

Never ever stop Android core.

Xperia home uses less ram compared to other launcher. Only a few launcher is able to use lesser ram than xperia home. Go launcher can use 2times more ram

It is what runs the system itself. Kill it and the phone will crash.

Just install it. Then select install drivers. It will install and reboot. Then open the app and select the options you want under default OpenGL settings, press home and run your game.
If anyone gets this to work on a custom rom plz let me knw.
thanks it worked on froyobread v23b a little lag
after 10-15 min gMe crashed but launch the app again it will work

It works in my Froyobread. I follow his(the blogger) suggestion. and it worked well
I'm afraid to don't understand what do you mean, anyway, if you know warez over X8 themes &apps forum, the best thing you should do is to click the report button.

note taken..sorry if this thread violates any rules of xda coz i thought that i'm not asking for warez or any link to warez..only asking if the game i mentioned works on x8..i dont mind buying it if the games works good...
I have it n it works great, using GingerDx, to make it work just reboot before playing
Btw I guess it's not illegal to play a hacked version of the game cuz it doesn't work on our device unless it was modified (HD game, our phone is hvga blablah)
So anyways if any1 wants the game just ****
Edited, didn't read the mods post

App's on lockscreen

Hi guys,
I just saw the demo video from ces. There's one thing, that I can't find out how to activate. When the girl is showing the features of the lockscreen, she swipes left and there's 3 apps. How can I get that?
You can see what i mean on this clip, it begins at 38. seconds

Well goto settings>display>settings for lock screen But I've seen there no apps only notifications...
Or install GoLocker
It just could be great too have that feature, without installing any apps, just like in the video.
and yep that feature is gone,
Maybe in next update or ICS?
I do not know if it will help you in any way, but widget locker is an app which allows you to customize lock screen in any way you may need. It is not free tough...

how to disable button backlight in cm10 permanently ?

i have already tried editting the hwconfig.sh file but it doesnt work.. please help.. and when i edit sys/class button backlight folder it stays off only temporarily... its an awesome rom but button backlight sucks the battery out of it
+1 on this (and sorry for bumping the thread). This is super annoying, especially during the night!
Use keyboard backlight controller app from playstore...it keeps the backlight off till you reboot... Then you just have to re disable it... Not permanent but I guess it will do...

PIE CONTROLS of paranoid android on any rooted rom

Firstly, this is not my work.It's something i came across.
PIE controls is one of the coolest features of paranoid android 2.99, but only few can switch to pa 2.99.
So this is for those with locked bootloaders or on other roms,
all u need is to be rooted.
It offers you every bit of customization, from color to animation to even your own icons and you can also select which apps should have the pie control and which shouldn't.

You should update the OP and give proper credits, this is a work of noname81. And it's called LMT Launcher. Not a work of Paranroid Team I believe.

Perfect for people with small hand and big device lol.
Any idea, how to get the REAL Paranoid-Pie? I mean, there is a difference between LMT and the PA-Pie.

I assume that this LMT is more for people who prefer to stcik to a stock rom or a rom that's doesn't support "PIE control" (for whatever reason )..
Honestly it's not the same, but you can find the core functionnality.
I just hope google guys will hire these people who had this idea and put "Pie control" in the next Android releases.
Awesome

Yeah, so true. Quad Core device with 1GB ram, but i never got lag (Daily Use) XD
Antivirus? I never use antivirus even on my desktop...Only for stupid people is antivirus if you know where to search and what is suspicious you won't catch virus.
Never got lag either. Maybe you should install latest firmware or something.
Mi neither, cero lag and almost 300 free ram, de bloated with only the essential gapps for me (youtube, maps, g+, keep and drive)
