i can tell you i dont install stuff i dont use.
and i dont have games.

i am not a first time android user. i know how it works..
but i am a first time sony user so i dont dare to mess with the system that much for now.. thats why i kept asking about sony's android version related questions..

im using .253 stock rooted. and it has 308 apps for now.

my app drawer has only 3 pages with a 5x6 grid.

30 + 30 + 15 = about 75 apps installed only. (some are even from sony itself.. albums, movies, etc)
*
Che.............. you count from Apps - All, is it? (You really free, go count that.....ops)

I though you got install 300++ apps at your app drawer.........

just edited my post.. added a screenshot.. do go check.

so whats your conclusion? hmm.gif
what should i do?

Since your phone is root and you are not a 1st time user, why don't you use Titanium Backup and freeze the apps, then you will know which can be remove or not later.


------------------------------
I not really bother about Sony, it is not really bloadware like Samsung, as it not really taking up a lot of space and not really run a lot in background. Most people only remove Sony Facebook/Twitter integration apps + some uselss Sony apps which can be directly uninstall from app drawer.

hmm.. okay. never really needed TB while on my s2.

really want to unlock the bootloader but since its only week 2. dont dare to risk it yet sweat.gif
later 1 month of usage then phone die for no reason due to faulty set..

I ask you use Titanium Backup because freezing the apps is the most safety way so you can restore back anytime, as long don't go freeze Phone, Contacts, Settings, SystemUI, it won't much impact the phone until no chances to restore back.

might be.. better have a stable firmware rather than full of bugs and need wait for further update.. i think soon for XZ too.. since they are testing firmware now by region and telco.. global will faster since Msia didnt add on any apps or what.. very fast..

Yup. smile.gif

Once it roll out, I will restore back my phone to previous stock .253 and re-locked back the bootloader.

I want everything start from fresh... hehe........ is time to refresh my phone.

haha.. good.. i have no any intention to root or flash any mods.. everything keep in original condition. previously play much about root, flash rom, flash mods.. due to limitation of hardware and wishing to get better performance.. now almost everything on top condition..  smile.gif  daily use and some time share share some apps and photos here..
*
Ya, before that I root as I want the semi transparent bar, now ....... maybe i still root for one single thing only - the smaller navigation bar. But even no root also ok.

Now I just know how good Sony build the phone, root is not really a required anymore as the phone itself as stock already run pretty smooth, not like all previous Samsung Android phone where I root mainly for hoping better performance.

I shall much earlier try Sony rather until now, I use too long on Samsung and always skip Sony previously due to Sony always one step behind on hardware spec, but now I just know this is not important since Sony can make one step behind spec running even much better than others, especially Samsung one. Not bashing Samsung, but this is my truly experience on it.

Samsung phone/tablet I own/use:
  • Galaxy S II-G, this is nightmare everyday hang phone, I sold it after a month usage.
  • Then I switch to Galaxy S III, it can't really run smooth in stock, I need AOKP/AOSP/CM to satisfied with it due to 1GB RAM issue which can't really stand Samsung hunger touchwiz home launcher.
  • I also buy Galaxy W for my sister, it is actually worst than my old old phone - HTC Nexus One.
  • My another sister also buy Samsung Galaxy Note II due to my suggestion, this phone is perform quite nice but ..... still it do hang sometimes, not frequence, but it do happen. I do find smoothness in Note II is awesome.
  • I myself also purchase 1st Android Tablet, Samsung Nexus 10, in earlier firmware, it hangs everyday, now is much stable, can last long around 4 to 5 days, but still occasionally hang.... terrible, I am really happy just sold it last week.


Now waiting my coming soon Xperia Tablet Z, I believe it can perform much better. Stability is really important and Sony do success on stability.

i'm all the ways go for Sony from secondary school K700i>W810i>SE Satio>SE Xperia Neo>SOLA>ZL.
reason to choose sony:
1. Price (jumping faster from RRP to market price) i'm student in UUM. Ptptn + part time event job to earn money.
2. Competitive between Sony & others. e.g. yea Samsung is good (only for high end devices, mid, low range, SONY win in term of hardware specs)
3. Design. Just special. I took my ZL go out, people was impressed with it. they dont know SONY got such phone. just know Sxxxxxx.

For me, i will choose the best price for best hardware. Samsung Marketing done very well. Almost wash brain. People will only lookking for Samsung when they going to buy phone. My friends, all samsung fans. After ask my opinion and listen to me, now everyone become Sony users.. LOL..

I got Bravia engine, Customised Walkman for Sony, Good design of phone, Custom UI by Sony, Simple to use, reasonable price. SOny might not the top phone. but it's not worst as people thought.

My opinion, low,mid end phone must go for SONY.. Very low and reasonable price for those hardware.
High end phone. Depend on users.. each flagship have their own adv and disadv..
*
Ya, Samsung is damn success on marketing, Samsung is rich can do crazy advertisement here and there.

For beauty, Samsung never in top list, previously I pick Samsung all because of newer spec Samsung put.

Low end Phone I had no idea, sorry I never look at it. But for Middle range, I am really impress with Sony Xperia SP, such price can get such high performance phone is mind blowing, it actually a lot benchmark is faster than S III even though it is only dual core. Some more Sony Home Launcher is not that power hunger than Samsung Touchwiz launcher.

I agree with you now, Sony is not top flagship but not means it phone is bad, all my colleague/friends after seen my Xperia Z, all give great impression and said next phone will be Sony, all my colleague/friends mostly is Samsung and all tired with Samsung stability issue. Even my sister also impress with it and buy Xperia ZL for replacing her terrible performance Galaxy W.

haha.. but all of these is depend on user preference.. i do got friends still very prefer to S4. He never use any smartphone before.. but gonna buy one soon after our final exam. He feel S4 is great from the S4 Promotion Video. WHich got a lot of functional features, air view, hovering, eyes, smart pause.. and saw many guys using S4 now..

i got nothing to critics on galaxy S series and note series.. Samsung really done well on these.. but got some personal opinion on S4 which consume too many RAM ady with those features. New set open from sealed box, boot up and u will see system running 1gb out of 1.8gb RAM. wow.. confirm run out of battery..

Nvm, i do own my Sony device and i still impress my friends with the photos im captured. People are still thinking Sony are still using the old charging port which is SE century one.. 2 heads and got a lot of gold chip in center.

S4 is bloatware phone. tongue.gif

I don't find it really famous as the successor S III. None of my friends is changing it, hardly seen anyone at here using it as well. The Samsung shop also never that clouded as last time when S III is launching. Even seems prediction for S4 sales is reducing the quantities as well.

For me, S4 had nothing much change, it just too similar like S III, except the S4 Active do look slightly fresh to me and it seems use less RAM than origin S4 base on review given. Less bloatware at S4 Active than origin one.

Only one colleague at Singapore getting it as he never use Android before and wanna try. During S III launching, at least 7 person I know is buying it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
and YES! 95% complete download the ZL v4.2.2 firmware. biggrin.gif

hmm.. too many type of S4 is coming out.. ya.. i think the S4 sales not very good as S3. at least in msia. we can know it from the market price. XZ still around rm1850-1899 (Rm300 off from RRP). HTC One around 2050-2099 (Rm200 off from RRP). S4 Octa 1799-1849 (Rm350 off from RRP). same as LTE do RM300 off from RRP.

this is horrible for Samsung in Msia. Just launched for 2months+ as flagship. Sony launched for 3months + also didnt jump so deep..

Maybe it's strategy to protect coming other S4 models in Msia. LOL..

Ya, the price is too fast get reduce.

Finally sucess update my sister Xperia ZL to latest stock official 4.2.2 ROM - 10.3.A.0.423

The leak 10.3.A.0.407 for Xperia Z performance can't compare with this latest version at all. This latest version is pretty smooth!

One thing about RAM usage, it's not the amount of RAM that is used that causes the slowdowns in the Galaxy series. It's the services that are running i.e. the Air Gestures etc that slows it down considerably.

In Linux, free RAM is generally wasted RAM.
*
This is only people though as theory.

How you gonna said about Nexus 10 where I own before? Nexus 10 is 2GB RAM and as usual it reserve same amount of RAM as all 2GB RAM device in market but this make the device hang every day.

After that, new release firmware had occupied more around 800MB reserved for GPU usage to prevent the device hang up everyday, but due to this reserved it had generally make the device behave like 1GB RAM device, and the device will badly slowdown once it touch the limit full usage of RAM and it will sometimes till hang up the device.

Nexus 10 is pure android and don't have any air gestures features at all.

So in practical for me, too many RAM extra is do waste but not enough extra of RAM is some sort making the system instability and lag as well.

Ya, wonder why Sony remove it, it is really useful for screen capture using the power button option rather than press and hold power button + volume down button.

right.. smooth.. no significant lag in homescreen, app drawer.. im not sure about leaks rom for Z. but for ZL official rom, just GOOD~ that's it.

The leak for Xperia Z base on .407 is running fine but not extreme smooth in animation, they is still some cut frame issue on it.

But this latest .423 for ZL is extremely smooth where mostly no noticeable cut frame animation.
