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.

Install Titanium Backup and freeze the SNS 1.0 app.

Or delete it
Just get file explorer which can access /system partition, like Root Explorer, find the specific .apk in /system/app and simply remove it.

I'm looking a clean, stock ROM for the MAHD. I like the some of the motorola features, like swiping certain icons on the homescreen and having transparent windows w/ info about the app pop-up, but I can see the ATT $hit keeping the phone from running 100%. Help?

No to "uninstall" per say, but you'll have access to /system/app as well as /vendor/app where you can either rename or delete the apps

It's goes all right on the phone, after rooting.
You can delete the apps or just freeze them. Use Ti.

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

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

root the phone and delete the update app from /system, I've always done this way
this way you will loose also some sony apps updates maybe, but you can still get them here in the forum (even more updated from other phones maybe)
I am with the rooting approach. But in that case you can simply freeze it then.
If you don't like rooting you may try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weborienteer.utilits.hibernate&hl=en . It can hibernate many system apps.

For those who have problem with baidu folder being created here is the new update which fixes the problem.
Please find the below attachment
Delete baidu folder if exists
Install APK normally reboot to verify

Maybe dumb question, but why we need to delete this folder? It's not making phone work any worse or better!?!?
