1. Why uninstall? Never uninstall system apps if not sure it will work. There are apps that can freeze apps, then simply unfreeze if needed. Titanium backup can do this and much more like backup.
2. Don't know, never used launcher pro, xperia launcher are the best Imo
3. Choose yes to use wifi, and use an app to set it to use in eg Europe, Japan or wherever....search in xda for like gps faster fix.
As for 1 there's also a list on the web stating which system apps can be deleted or not. You risk fc and apps mot working properly as they depend on another, easy freezy are also an app to use for freezing apps
Easiest for you would be to install a custom rom, you need clockwork mod recovery and root then. Pm me if you need a guide
Thanks for the sugestion now i have reinstalled messaging app and disable it using root app delete
Now want one more thing to ask
Can i freeze the system app like
Lg home(i am using launcher pro)
Browser (using dolphin)
Hidden menu-use it very rarely
Rsstarter- don't know what is this for !!
Plz reply
Thanks once again

I'd advice you to keep from freezing / uninstalling apps if you don't know what they're for. It's not like you will get a huge performance improvement if you delete these, so I'd let them be.
You can freeze the LG launcher (or uninstall it if you want) as long as you have another launcher installed. This is required, otherwise you're in for disaster.
Thanks for a very quick reply
Just wanted to say after freezing some of the apps that i donf use i got a very good ram space and i feel that my device is now working much faster
Now what about freezing browser and lge hidden menu
And yeah what is rsstarter ??

It's for the Remote Screen service. If you don't use it, you don't need rsstarter. I removed it with no evident side effects.
BTW, thanks to SuperSkill I learned something new -- I didn't understand before what exactly "freezing" meant...
Thanks freezed it successfully..!

Where can i find the standard LG apps. I like some custom roms but i really liked the SNS widget (social feeds) and the LG keyboard (because of the tilt to side function)
Here is SNS.apk, the keyboard does not work on most of the custom roms.

That might be so. Just make sure the refresh rate is not at 15 mins. Mine is off, just refresh manually.

Even using standard fb or twitter i also set to manual refresh.. so i guess it shud be the same rite? I mean in term of battery consumption? Coz everytime i see 'running proccess' sns is there,thats why i assume it eat up juices.

Can someone upload dialer ?
So anybody got any luck with the SNS.apk on any particular custom ROM(s)? If so can you please tell me which ROM(s)?
That app is very useful for me coz it can natively connect to FB or Twitter without the use of VPN and being in China, this is a big plus.

Found this the other day and thought I'd share it here. I'm currently using it on stock 4.1.2 (de-odexed) with no problems. IMO it's much smoother than any previous Xperia-based launchers.
All credit goes to ThilinaC for his amazing work!

It works fine for me. Although when I first flashed it I did have to reboot once or twice to get some of the widgets to work.

I used Titanium Backup to uninstall the sony apps.
You don't need to uninstall to switch launchers... settings > apps > all apps > home.apk(?) > clear defaults.

Try flashing the HDPI app drawer fix, and then clear the app data for Xperia Home.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I can get Samsungs stock taskmanager for CM 7.2 or at least one that works like it. I tried so many different taskmanager apps from the Play store but they all aren't good.

Firstly, Android 2.3+ doesnt need a task manager. However if it makes you feel happy I can find the Samsung one for you. People report it ruins your phone over time or something

Gingerbread has one that does it automatically. In app if you press home it runs in background and back kills it. Something like that. Google search task manager on Gingerbread.

Actually its a priority system, where apps u dont use for long get removed from memory automatically. The phone doesn't get damaged if u use a task manager, its just that ur phone will use more battery as it has to process that app all over again and ur loading time is ofc increased. But on mid - high end phones u don't need a task manager due to enormous amount of ram and fast processor. I do feel the need for a task manager cause i don't use my phone too much and background apps will drain my battery unnecessarily.
Edit: Here is a task manager. Just copy it to ur system/apps folder using a root browser and set permissions as all the apps present.

why the hell would he do that? factory reset would be an absolute last resort.... and i have no idea why the hell you think installing apex would help him?
OP do you have google now enabled?
first thing i would do is disable data and disconnect wifi - make sure it is an app trying to fetch data that is causing the problem, if that turns out to be the case then simply stop all apps from syncing automatically and reenable a few at a time until you capture the problem one.
check out whether your GPS is being used too - google now would use your location and fetch data a lot, my money is on it.

You have to flash a kernel that supports write access to the system partition, or create a flashable zip to remove the systems apps, or.remove.them via adb.
The stock kernel doesnt support write access so any changes you make are reverted on reboot.

Great, thanks!
I think I have heard this one awhile ago, forgot about it.
I would like to keep it close to stock, is there a kernel that, say, only grants the write access to system?
