I have rooted my Sony Ericsson Neo V by downgrading to .42 and using Zergrush, without unlocking the boot loader. Now I want to remove the LiveWare service. NoBloat and similar apps don't show it. How can I delete or at least disable this serivce?

Look in /system/app/ for com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.apk or similar. Remove it and any .odex file with the same name if present and that should get rid of it. (Note that I have no idea if this is required by the system or will otherwise screw up your phone, so do it at your own risk.)

The file was called LiveWareManager.apk and removing it doesn't seem to have any ill effects. – Erik Apr 9 '12 at 22:27
@Erik Great, thanks for the update! – Matthew Read♦ Apr 9 '12 at 22:40
