I keep reading that the unroot is not working, but I haven't felt like trying it myself.
Has anyone?
I'm just ready for this rumored 2.2 to leak, hopefully it really will be sometime next week.
Also this list may be of use to some of you since the word has come out about not deleting MyBackUpAssistant and all Blur apps. I found this on another forum.

Has the "Ok to remove" been confirmed? Will a factory reset bring it all back?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

The unroot works if u put the bloatware that u removed back on, or if u never remove it in the first place. I rooted the hard way and used the 1 click to unroot. Im ready for the 2.2 to come as well. It is confirmed by sprint that the evo is getting it this week so im pisses that we don't have it already.
sent from Shawn Micheals...The heartbreak Kid

I've removed nearly everything under "OK to remove/delete/rename" with no problems.
I'm not sure if a factory reset will bring everything back or not, but I saw a .zip floating around of all those system files. If you need any of those files I could try and find it for you.

Thanks wad3g, that's really helpful.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Seen quite a few people run in to bootloops messing with the framework and as of right now to fix it, is to run the 604 update.zip. But those who removed the bloatware ran in to problems as the update wouldn't run because it didn't see certain apps. And no, a hard reset doesn't bring them back.
So I'm assuming this will probably be the same case for the 2.2 update, guess we'll find out soon enough.

[EB13] Deleting Stock Apps

Here's a list of apps I've deleted so far to no NOTICEABLE ill effect (including their .odex files). I saved up 63MB under the /system partition.
Code:
amazonmp3.apk
AxT9IME.apk
BuddiesNow.apk
ClockPackage.apk
cm-android.apk
Email.apk
FBAndroid-1.4.1.apk
install_flash_player.apk
KeyBoardSlideUpCounter.apk
Keytracer.apk
LatinIME.apk
LatinImeTutorial.apk
Launcher2.apk
MediaHubV102_Epic4G.apk
Memo.apk
MusicPlayer.apk
MyFiles.apk
nascar09-prod-release.apk
Protips.apk
qik.apk
SamsungApps.apk
SamsungWidget_*.apk
sfl-prod-release.apk
SN28-1100-sprint-signed.apk
SnsAccount.apk
SnsProvider.apk
SprintTVWidget.apk
SprintZone.apk
TAT_LiveWallpaper_*.apk
TouchWizCalculator.apk
Don't forget to delete the linked .odex files and reboot the phone to make sure the changes take effect. I advise you to delete the dalvik-cache to make sure all traces of the apps are gone.
DO NOT DELETE:
TouchWizLauncher.apk, some part of it is needed for the phone to run otherwise the phone crashes when you put it into sleep mode.
For anything I haven't listed rename the extention to apk.stock and THEN clear your dalvik-cache. Test it out and report back.
Please limit replies to this thread to other apps you've tested for safe removal. Don't ask for tech support. If you deleted an app and you want it back, PM me and I can send it to you.

I deleted the TouchWizLauncher.apk with no crash problems. Rooted Epic4G EB13 stock.

Apps that can be removed

Here is a list of apps that can be removed I'm updating now
system/app
AcerRegistration.apk

Removing both gets rid of the searching for cell connection.
if you delete or rename these rumor has it that if you do a factory reset to default it will brick ur phone ill will upload the files along with a update.zip tonight

I was also able to remove Acer Sync.

I removed nemopalyer.

Guys,
When you say removed, do you 'App deinstalled' or 'Apk file deleted' ?
Cheers,

First I backed up the entre /system/app folder on an sdcard.
Then I started removing apps using Titanium backup (uninstall option).
I too removed Acer Sync, among others.

you can also rename the file extension to bak. that way u can easily restore it if needed...just reset the tab when your done and it will not load on start up but remain in the folder.

so all .apk can be changed to .bak? like acersync.bak???
and what about the other one? .obex?

Guys, quick question - by default there are 123 files in /system/app, right (.apk and .odex), right? Just making sure I haven't misplaced a system app while tinkering!

I rename all apk's to bak instead of deleting them...that way if u need it later you just rename it instead of having to load them back on the device. I haven't renamed the odex files but I assume if you rename the file its associated with then it should be fine.

I wouldn't remove them - you've got plenty of space and it doesn't bork you like "Link to xy"

I also removed NemoPlayer and Gallery 3D, they both have running services.

It's not about saving space in this case. It's about not having a process running all day looking for a 3G signal on a device with no 3G and wasting precious battery.

Do not removed or rename these two apks!!! If they are missing (or renamed in my case) and you do a software reset, your unit will be bricked. This happened to me and I've seen that it has happen to some others as well.

Can't we just rename them back before doing a reset?
Is there any other harm?

True, but you'd have to remember to do that.

[Q] Deleting B&N Apps?

So I don't use any of the stock B&N apps (Shop, Home, Library, etc) with the exception of "Reader." I've also noticed that there are a bunch of B&N services that run at startup. I wonder if there is a background program downloading updates/ads for the Home screen and wasting battery.
Has anyone had any experience "cleaning" up the nook a bit by deleting B&N apps? Which ones are safe to remove, and which ones aren't?

Apps I removed
Here is the apps I removed from /system/app
Till now, there is no problems.
AFfileDownloadService.apk
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
BnAuthenticationService.apk
BnCloudRequestSvc.apk
Browser.apk
CloudService.apk
ContactsProvider.apk
DemoMode.apk
DeviceManager.apk
DeviceRegistrator.apk
DownloadAdmin.apk
DownloadProvider.apk
Gallery.apk
Home.apk
LatinIME.apk
Music.apk
NookCommunity.apk
Phone.apk
PicoTts.apk
QuickStartActivity.apk
Shop.apk
Social.apk
TelephonyProvider.apk
TtsService.apk
WaveformDownloader.apk
Best

A couple of apks that shouldn't be deleted...
- Removing DownloadProvider.apk will break your Market downloads (possibly all downloads).
- LatinIME.apk is the nook keyboard...

BnCloudRequestSvc.apk
Shop.apk​In using the Nook reader without these two apps, neither the More… menu entry nor double-clicking on a book in Library gave book details, for my side-loaded books. I reinstalled the two apk files.

[Q] How to free up space on internal memory?

My kid's SM-T230NU is out of space. Internal storage shows 775MB free. However, the SD Cards shows 29.34/29.71GB free. I can't seem to move anything to the SD card under the "applications" tab. It is rooted, TWRP recovery, SDFix app installed.
What am I doing wrong? How do I get stuff off the internal drive and onto the humungous SD Card that's sitting unused?
Thanks for any help!

Honestly the way apps are stored on android and how the read/write permissions on sd issue was "handled" with kitkat, the options for optimizing app storage seem more limited than ever. Maybe someone with more knowledge can offer a more elegant solution, but as far as doing something right now to clear up some space in your app storage:
Install titanium backup and first back up all user apps and all system apps & data. Below you'll find a list of system apps that are safe to remove. Titanium backup has an option to remove (uninstall) pre-installed apps and system apps, the ones that you normally aren't allowed to uninstall on play store or in settings. Peruse the list and use it as a reference, just remember that just because an app is safe to remove, doesn't mean you want it gone. I.e. make sure you're uninstalling crap you don't want/don't use, which should be a majority of this list. Remove a bunch of unnecessary pre-loaded apps and system apps and hopefully you'll clear up a good amount of space.

Don't worry about apk or odex here it's having this list of app names safe to remove that should hopefully be useful for you. I hope I have been able to help you.

Thanks for the response. I'll have to try those. The question is why can't I move apps from the internal drive to the SD card? I've done it countless times with my LG G Pad, Samsung Galaxy S2, and Kindle running CM.

I use link2sd and foldermount. It sends app data over and yeah. It does save some space. I use sd maid to clean my whole device for junk and all that.

The list you show needs some kind of description beside each one as to what they are for. How do we know what we want/don't want?
Example; AntHalService.apk ? - ______
