[Q] Restore Walkman and Movies applications

I've just updated my Xperia Z to 423 and all I can say is that apart from transparency it's absolutely awful! Anyway, I also updated Walkman, Album and Movies apps from Update Center and new Walkman lacks a lot of functions + irritating Music Unlimited banner. I didn't like the new Movies app layout as well.
So the question is - Is it possible to restore the previous versions of those applications and how can I do that?
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE. Found the solution - Settings - Apps - All - Walkman - Uninstall updates
Sorry for the thread, can be closed now.

SocialLif ehas always been flaky, my xperia z had the same problems, sometime it would work other it would stop updating status. Even the sony tool for uploading pics to facebook is wonky sometimes to. Both apps need to be polishes but they seem to be focused on the album app and walkman app which in my eyes have consistently gotten better. I do love the walkman app.

The bold ones are the ones I've freezed.
No issues here... But Update Center is for updates (you can disable notifcations and keep the app enabled...
But I don't know what you wanted to ask/know?

I wish to know which applications, besides these, are safe to be frozen, removed even, and not to interfere with phone's functioning. I'm asking other members to share their list, if they did it.
As for Update Centre... updates to what? Judging by the icon, it's a Sony program, meaning firmware updates. PC Companion labeled my phone as already running the latest FW, before I froze UC. And 4.3 is junk. No loss there.

Well some app updates can appear via Update Center

What apps are those?

Walkman, album, movies, Update Center self, apps from your operator.

I don't use any of those, anyway. Besides, being on 4.1, I have older versions of those apps and I don't see what differences that makes, even if I did use them. And I can get newest by sideloading them, if I wished.
But, that's fine, leave Update Centre out of freeze list, if you want. Everyone has their own preferences.

[Q] Sony Xperia E1 Kitkat 4.4.2 Disabling or deleting bloatware + RAM BUG

Hey,
I was wondering is there any difference in disabling system apps(bloatware) or removing them?
Also I have something like a bug with the RAM, my device is showing that I have almost 400MB of free ram and there is almost no ram being used. This can t be real. Must bee some kind of bug. Does anyone else have something like this?!

There is.
I'm using the Russian version, downloaded from XperiFirm and flashed with Flashtool
If you disable or delete bloatware, or system apps you can feel the difference between when you remove it, and when you don't. The phone can withstand 5-6 days without doing anything to it. (14-19hrs If you play games, listen to music, etc..)
That must be a Software bug, I suppose.

.apk names would be nice, so If someone using update-scripts he doesn't have to delete them manually after flashing new firmware or rom

Syc the emails don't remove
