Rooting "might" void your warranty. I'm not responsible if anything happen to your phone (nothing should go wrong,, if something do go wrong, just repeat the whole process).

Will you be able to tell me how to delete them if I can't delete them normally? Thank you

[Uliwooly]

yeah no problem

ok so can you tell me please

Go to settings, then manage applications, and then all applications. Tap the applications you want to remove. If the uninstall option is available, you can uninstall. Or there will be an option called freeze using which you can disable the app. (without requiring root).

Thank You,

Rick

Hi Wooly, where did you find the certification, can I ask? The rest of us have been refreshing PTCRB for a month to no avail lol.

I just added some of them and copy paste the others expecting them to show up at ptcrb but it seems that sony is using something else. I'll change the thread later on
