Just rooted my Xperia Z and installed Titanium backup, now I can start to remove all the bloatware from the phone. What are the apps I can remove safely without compromising phone's normal performance?

You can disable it - problem solved But I agree, for those who are rooted, it's best to get rid of what you don't need to...
BTW. they should really STOP putting all this FB/Twitter crap on our phones... you can get those from Play, no need to put it as a "factory app" that can't be removed
I can't find the "reply with message" bar while getting a call guess I removed a APK by mistake

If I just want to delete apps like facebook, notes etc, do I just need to root my phone or is there something else as well.

You need root to delete system files,but you can disable any app you want from applications settings.

I deleted all Google, facebook, twitter & linkedin sh*t from my XZ as soon as I rooted my device, which is to say, half an hour after buying it, and i've never looked back. Must be tough for you....live and forget the net alternative to having live friends & relatives, you'll never regret it...

4.2.2
Hi,
I deinstalled Facebook App with Titanium Backup,
but it seems to recover itself automatically after restart. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Android 4.2.2 Xperia Z (Rooted by Easy Rooting Toolkit)
I used Titanium Backup to delete HTC Sense from my phone, because I read in multiple places that it just slows the phone down if you have a costum launcher installed. Problem is: I remember thinking about doing it, but I am not even really sure I did it. I only know that when pressing home, it doesn't give me the choice to enter in it. How to tell if I removed it? And if I did, is it possible to restore it somehow e.g. factory reset, without a backup?

The way you can check if it's deleted is either go to titanium backup and search for the app, or go into the apps menu and search for the app again.
You can get it back by either Reflashing the rom or having a backup. Or go to the rom root dir system/apps and search for it there.
I've been using CM10 so I don't remember the exact app name, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out :3
I'm pretty sure it's rosie.apk

Just as I thought, it's gone.
Will it give me problems if I later decide to flash a sense-based rom?
No

In case you want it back, just extract it from any of the sense based roms around here. Or if you don't wanna download a whole rom, tell me. I'll upload the rosie for you

Hi guys,
I flashed the new Nexus 5 launcher and it replaced the Z1's softkeys with the 5's. I don't like these keys and want the Z1's. Can someone provide me with the required files.

Restore your backup or reinstall the xperia home launcher...
You do make backups before you flash something...

You make backups with recovery. You can also make a backup of the xperia home apk with titanium backup that you can restore,
I can provide you with the file when I get time.
Just remember that in future it is always good practice to backup things up before you flash anything or replace system apps. that way when things go wrong (Or if you don't like the result) then you can easily go back without having to ask for someone to provide you with the files that you once had on your phone.

Hey I saw the zip with the files but how am I supposed to flash them? This isn't a CWM zip..I only need to flash the system UI... Launcher is ok
You throw them in system/apps and overwrite.
Restart and then it should be back to normal.

Edit this idea was a massive fail.. I had to factory reset ater backing up my data and reflash the ROM... It seems the smaller softkeys are due to the ROM. What can I do to have the stock softkeys? How do I flash those @gregbradley?

seeing as you never mentioned which rom you were on I presumed you wanted the stock systemUI.apk.
If you want something different then extract it from your rom download and put it in system/app using root explorer and change the permissions so they are the same as other apps.
HINT
put it in system
long press on it and choose change permissions
change them to this
[*][*][-]
[*][-][-]
[*][-][-]
then move it to system/app
reboot

Best bet is to use xposed framework and xblast module

Did you try to replace your dialer with some other ported one etc? Or flashed some theme?
If in emergency you can install an app like contact plus or any other dialer app from app store.

That's not the point PCC will restore your dialer but you will lose root in the process so you will need to reroot the device
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

1.If you are on 4.1.2, go to settings>apps>all apps and see for contacts in the list maybe it is disabled
If you are on 4.3, go to settings>apps>disabled and see there
2. Try clearing data of XperiaHome
3. If you are using xposed modules, maybe you have hidden that app from home
4. Check your system/app directory and see if the apk is present there
Hope it helps
