My Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S came preloaded with a bunch of crapwares which looks like its kinda impossible to uninstall. Since I'm new to android I'm not confident about rooting it and going with custom roms. ( Atleast not for now :D) Is there anyway I can atleast hide these icons from app list/screen atleast.

Use a custom launcher (like GO Launcher) and hide the icons.

Did you guys install / use any cache cleaning app in your android device. Which cache cleaning app do you guys recommend.

1tap cleaner for everyday use. it has a nag screen whenever you launch it but is fast & cleans all leftover files.

+1. It's very good, has a default cleaner too. Makes the task wee bit easier.

Running ICS on my SGS2 since over a month now :p

ICS has been recently released for SGS2

Is this available for the G-Version as well if so where from can I download?
Also guys I have LG Optimus net how do I install apps on my SD Card? I have installed just 4-5 apps and now I see error coming not sufficient space. Maybe I need to get a way to install apps on SD Card.

Err.. You're clearly not aware of things such as leaks, and CM9. Next time, do your research before calling someone a fool :/

I did a lot research on this thing. I have pointedThis link clearly says "Android 4.0 ICS update is now seeding for Samsung Galaxy S II"

ask this question in the Optimus One thread, others will guide you better in this. you can use App2SD but i have no idea how to configure it. haven't used it yet.

(official) ICS for S2 has leaked so many times that S2 users have lost track of it. I feel these leaks are deliberate so as always to allow user to check for stability and bugs.
