App to be deleted??

Hi can I ask? I want to make custom ROM from stock ICS for Xperia Tipo.. what app is safe to delete and what doesnt?? I hope anyone can help me with this.. I already search on google but I found nothing relate to this..

well there are some apps which can not be deleted at all
like google partner setup, systemui(status bar) and others
some apps like software update are not needed and are safe to remove
some other apps like phone app, messaging contacts and launcher etc can be replaced by an alternative app
like launcher can be replaced by a good launcher from play store
if you come across an apk you are not sure about, just google for its function
if it is not vital, then remove/replace it

is there any answer like list of it?

[GUIDE] [Xperia J] [All] Minimum lag on stock

Greetings,
I want to share some tips on how to get rid of annoying lag on stock ROMs. I have an Xperia J that now seems to have the speed of a dual-core phone (it's faster than an Xperia U). NO scripts, NO complicated or risky methods.
Requirements? Root - the most important thing, patience, Play apps, Forum apps.
1. Root App Delete is an easy, small and simple tool to get rid of the nonsense system apps. You can delete or only disable them - having a .bak file in system/app instead of an .apk
2. Greenify is an intelligent tool that helps you put apps "into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in an unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground", as the creator say. You can only hibernate user apps; so many system, preinstalled apps must be deleted and reinstalled from Play.
e.g. Facebook is a hungry app, occupying large amount of RAM - therefore you have less battery and less response of the system when you want to open another app - because all Facebook's processes must be killed. Solution? Uninstall it from system/app and reinstall it as a user app. Then greenify it! It does not have to remain open in the background because of and hour or two of use per day.
3. Seeder is a lag reducing tool that "assists the kernel in "topping off" the entropy pool by re-seeding it with data from the non-blocking (high performance) random device", helping apps to load faster and avoid lag.
4. Xperia Honami Launcher. I know it doesn't seem much as a speed tool, but, trust me, it is. I have used many versions of Xperia launchers (including the one ported from Xperia Z) and, besides that the launcher itself wasn't as sharp and fast as on a newer, more powerfull device - the entire system felt somehow... slower. Opening different apps took longer, not very good multitasking experience...
The new Honami launcher is smooth, very fast - and my Xperia J is flying. Speed everywhere! System apps opening almost instantly, it's like a dual-core hardware experience.
Doubts? Just reply, ask.
P.S. 181 MB free when I entered 'Running Apps' just now.

Very good post, thx ^^ If you run facebook messenger, facebook, music player and a random game, how many free ram do u have??
This test is made on Vengeance 1.46? Have you tried that? Can u list me all trash apps you removed? Can you describe your Seeder's settings please?? Thanks in advance ^^

No, I use stock kernel, didn't change it so far. Perhaps Vengeance is better, I honestly don't know...
I deleted all social-related apps (Facebook, all it's plug-ins, all Twitter apps, special widgets) including all Timescape apps (Spine, Friends etc) and Sony's social widgets, like Friend's Music. Some of Google's stuff, like Text-To-Speech, Picasa plug-in, some ugly live wallpapers... The rest I don't remember.
I disabled: Playstation Certified, Connected Devices (and all DLNA stuff), Email (since I only use Gmail), Google Bookmark and Calendar Sync, Smart Connect, Chinese Keyboard, Xperia Diagnostics, Xperia Sync.
Use Seeder with all 3 options checked (Suspend RNG, Extend I/O, Start at boot). I use Light profile, seems to work very fine that way. :cyclops:

You can find all the links for download and installing info here: [APP][4.0.3+] Xperia™ Launcher 3.0.0 | Xperia Z Ultra | Honami | 24.Jul.2013
P.S. After installing the new launcher and widgets - you can disable the old/stock ones with Root App Delete. If you use both launchers, you will not have that much RAM.

Curious, what have you done with your rooted stock ROM?

Hey everyone,
So, I've just rooted my Xperia Z3. I'd rather not unlock my bootloader to lose low light camera functionality, but I'm curious what y'all have done with your Z3 after rooting but have stuck with stock ROM?
One thing I've done is replace the hosts file to reduce/remove ads from my apps. This has worked well previously so I figured it would work well now.
Any suggestions?

Debloat, use system app manager to push updates to system...backup before you start to experiment

@nedooo,
If you don't mind, can you provide a list of things you've removed from your Z3?
Also, with the system app manager, how do you use that to push updates?
Yes, backups are always great.

I'll try
When you open system app manager and tap any app shown (all apps - installed "white letters", phone system apps "red letters" and "greyed" - updates that can be integrated in system) on top right corner there is big button - "Manage", tap it and select integrate update to system...only one app you must avoid "Android System Webview" do not touch only that app...all rest you can integrate etc...
Well I removed bunch of stuff...Google Now, Maps, Keep, Drive..File Commander...all live wallpapers but Sony one...Small apps...Sony longue...Office...Chinese and Japanese keyboard...
Roughly that's it, but adapt it to your liking...

nedooo,
Are you referring to the Settings > Apps screen? If so, I don't see that option on any apps.

Some of my apps that require root:
Adaway - blocks ads
Greenify - puts apps to sleep when they're not needed.
Better battery stats - helps identifying energy hungry apps.
Afwall+ - Firewall
Recently - makes the recent panel useful again.
I use Tasker with the secure settings plug in (root) to manage brightness, sound, lockscreen security,... And then you have the seemingly endless world of xposed modules, e. g. Xprivacy, true silent mode, app settings, unicon, notify clean, 20mp superior auto, Xperia xposed,...
If you want to, you can stop using your phone and just mod it all day long
