Heres a list of all the bloatwares which came with the 6.0.A.3.76TW firmware. I took screenshots of the apps (Astro File Manager) which were in the system folder. Hiden apps are also in the screenshot. I have already unlocked and rooted my GB firmware but just don know which bloatwares i should get rid off/Uninstall as i dont know of each's functionality and also dont want to harm my STOCK ROM in the process. Hope u can help me with it =). Btw, i dont think that am gonna need PCC or SEUS sync apps as am more comfortable in flashing roms with flashtool (Froze MtApp by TitaniumPro). Btw, the new Xperia S does get lock if you root the phone as u can only access the phone but not the internal memory if Sony finds it out. Though thanks to DoomLord/Napster for their amazing app to Mount/Unmount my internal memory card manually. Please do realize that am gona need that particular app to work with =p. U can add me up or pm me if you want to discuss about the bloatwares. Will surely love to discuss it =). It would be a great help if you could help me out on this one.
Thanks.
I Used TitaniumPro to Froze/Uninstall some apps which i knew of.
ScreenShots Added
Some users were having problem downloading the zip file i shared, so here are the screenshots added directly on the thread. The apps are sorted and in page order so u dont have any problem reading em. Hope u can help me out. Thanks again =)

Hi,
I have removed the new timescape and want to install the timescape from 2.1. How can I do this?
Thanks.
if u have the 2.1 working on ur phone then copy the apk of timescape and all related files ... and once u use 2.3 at that time jus copy it back to ur system/app folder..
hope u have it rooted and wid superuser perms....

Does anyone know if this worked? I would like to know if I can get timescape to show my emails (not just gmail accounts) like it did in 2.1
Also does anyone know how to re-integrate emails back into the infinity function in 2.3? I know ppl prefer trimming or even removing timescape/infinity since it is so resource consuming but it was actually nice having emails and even the pictures sorted with contact info. I realize that going back to 2.1 would be the easiest solution but that limits a lot of things including the availability of apps, etc.
Sorry I did a search and found nada. I even tried to start to post a thread and it suggested I check this one out first. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

WARNING: LEAKED ICS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE Public Service Announcement: ICS Leaks and Recovery - HARDBRICK WARNING
it is suggested to follow the installation procedures and copy the files manaully if you worry about bricking your phone
note: although this is not built from AT&T i717, it can be used on i717 as well as reported by users for the gingerbread version. however, if u encounter any problems, feel free to contact me by leaving a reply here, or adding a comment in my blog at Galaxy Note Sony Bravia Engine ICS mod - http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2012/05/galaxy-note-sony-bravia-engine-ics-mod.html
for developers and rom makers:
- pls kindly let me know or put my name in your post if you put this mod into your roms so that i know who is using it. this is because experiences in the sgs2 one tell me users will only ask for help in your thread and they even dont know which gallery they r using, since most of the roms just put the words "bravia engine" or "new gallery" and that's all. i cannot, and in fact impossible, to read every post in every thread to help them to solve the problems. what i want is to consolidate the questions and problems so that they can be identified easily, and to help ppl to solve the problems.
more, pls add a link either to this post, or the original howto at http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2012/01/sgs2-gallery-sony-bravia-engine-demo.html for users reference
thank you
a few notes for users:
- ALWAYS DO A BACKUP FIRST!!
- pls, pls forget anything u've seen before about the bravia engine and forget about the prop files. there is NO NEED to modify any file yourself to make it works
- if u wanna use the bravia engine to render/redraw ur wallpaper, u need to pick the wallpaper again in my modded gallery since the existing wallpaper is cached/stored and the system will not re-generate the wallpaper each time the phone boots up
- all steps in the installation guide for sgs2 should be the same for sgn and so far i couldnt find any difference between them
- the only difference i observed is about the performance. in sgs2, the image will be rendered almost instantly (on my modded sgs2 at least, i dono how it performs in stock rom). but on this sgn (not tuned yet), the image will be rendered piece by piece from the bottom right to the top left and u can see that visually

I tried to flash it with the zip but it doesn't install the files so I moved them manually with root explorer.
I cant tell for sure if it works. Will have to do more testing but it is a cool idea and will keep following to see how this develops.
Thanks again for the pm of the link.

u welcome, it's just a link and no big deal
but i am interested in the problems u encountered. what do u mean by 'it doesnt install the files'? do u mean it failed to install in the recovery or what? and since u know how to play with root explorer, u can copy the files manually to the target locations as stated in the howto
one more thing, if it installed but FC, it's probably due to the conflicts between this mod and the previous gallery. so remove/rename/move the old gallery data will do if u can to avoid lossing other data, else do a wipe
feel free to tell me if u have any problems
I installed all the files fine with root explorer. The zip might not be written for our note.
No problems. No force closes. NO BRICKING! Haha
I just don't really use the stock gallery and it is hard to see a difference for me.
I was hoping this would give a system wide improvement.

Hey first of all,do a fresh wipe of the dalvik cache through the recovery.If the problem still persists,then flash the STOCK ICS through SEUS or Flashtool(better).Do not debloat through any software.If you want to,then download the app called 'system app mover' on the playstore(requires root).This should help.
Thanks
Debloating won't cause it. That's for sure.

OK.Well in that case may I know the process which you have used for debloating?I suggest you debloat using the system/app mover app.I think there is some hardware problem then in your device(do the other custom roms cause the same problem?).Or there would be a problem in the simlock.ta.Please try reflashing the simlock.ta partition again through the flashtool.Otherwise follow the method which i told you:
1.Re-install the STOCK rom(obviously ROOTED,done by downgrading to GB and then using 'Xperia-ROOT' for rooting and then upgrading to ICS by flashing the rom with wipe data option disabled.....you may be knowing this.
2.Then use system/app mover and uninstall the system apps you don't want.
I think that should help.However,if you wish to find out as to 'WHY THIS IS HAPPENING IF DEBLOATING IS NOT THE PROBLEM BY YOUR METHOD' i don't have any answer.
I think I helped as much as I could.Please press THANKS if I helped.

Sidd

This means war.
I said deBLOATing and bloat is those apps which don't coz any error when removed and are mostly useless to end user.
So deBLOAT shouldn't cause it.

Lol no war .....actually there are some guides I previously used where some necessary apps are listed in bloats and give fc's to SOME users....I'm not opposing any guide here just saying...so while debloating he cud have deleted something listed in guide but imp for phone

I don't remember if our mdpi phones had a smarcardservice.apk but this apk is responsible for sim connectivity if I am not wrong..
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
I used nero-young's script to debloat & selected debloat all
maybe solution..
hey, i had this problem year ago, and the problem was
that my sim was very old and i change it often so something was bricked in sim card and time to time it shows me same message OR thats no connection b'cuz sim was removed
if i had a new sim (same operator/phone/ROM and kernel) this problem was gone....
i'm not sure if this fix ur problem but this is how i fixed....
good luck and best, bejunk
You should try using your phone with someone else's SIM this way you'll know if it come from the SIM or if it's software side.
Thanks all.
I will try all the solutions.
I got an another problem here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304870
Hell man sony gave a BUG to all of us
I want to make my system free of meanless stuff. Can anybody help ?
Delete the useless apps to you from system, everything else is in need.
May be charging animation and bootanimation is removable, but it won't save any space.

Well the unwanted apps are called bloatware like Support App and Android Stock Browser. If you want to remove all those apps which came installed in the phone when you bought it and cannot be deleted, you will have to root your phone and then install ES File Explorer or any other app which can uninstall them. Then you would be able to uninstall even those wallpapers which came loaded and even the phone and messaging app.
Use search button for your phone and you will find helpful threads...

Well I would recommend you to go for 'MoonBreakers Rom' if you are with Xperia P JB! Coz we have already removed all useless bloatware and made this Rom!
