I've been following the Droid X XDA since I got my mine back in November and have been wanting to contribute for a while. Since I have not found this thread anywhere else, I thought I would share. This is the list of apps that I have frozen and have not noticed and adverse affects (I'm currently running Rubix blurrybread).
Alarm & Timer (I use AOSP clock app)
Android Live wallpapers (If you use these, don't freeze this, obviously)
Camera (I use the leaked GB camera found on Droid life)
CarDock (Who uses the uncustomizable Blur one anyway)
com.motorola.photowidget
Date & Time (this is only a Moto widget)
Desk Home (I use AOSP cause it bothers me that I can't see the next alarm on Blur version)
Email
Email Authenticator
Email Engine (This is needed for stock text messaging. I use AOSP here, but if you're on stock then don't freeze. Text messaging will not open)
Facebook Authenticator
Flickr Authenticator
FM Radio
FMRadioService
Gallery (I use the 3D AOSP gallery)
LastFM Authenticator
LinkedIn Authenticator
Live Wallpaper Picker (Don't freeze if you use live wallpaper)
Magic Smoke Wallpapers
Media Share
Messages
Messaging
Motorola Dock Service (Again, I use AOSP, but if you don't then dont' freeze)
MS Exchange Service
Music (I use new one from Droid Life)
Music Visualization Wallpapers
My Accounts (I hate blur, but if you use any of the Blur authenticators, you need this)
Myspace Authenticator
News
News & Weather
Orkut Authenticator
Photobucket Authenticator
Picasa Authenticator
Print to retail
Quick Contact (This is a Moto Widget)
Skyrock Authenticator
Social Messaging
Social Networking
Social Sharing
Social Status
Sticky Note (This is a Moto widget. Once again, I don't use)
Swype (Not a fan)
Text Messaging (I use Mms.apk from Rubix Focused. Works great)
Toggle Widgets (Seems redundant if you use the android power widget)
Twitter Authenticator
Universal Inbox
Voicemail (Google Voice anyone)
Weather
Work Contacts
Yahoo contacts (don't freeze if you use the stock Text Messenger. For some reason it's tied in)
YouTube Authenticator
There may be more. If I missed any then please post. I'm always looking to get rid of more crap I dont' want/use/need.
Nice list. I had renamed some blur and ran into issues, so I went back to liberty and will wait for an aosp gp release.

Hi!
I would really like to try out a CyanogenMod build on my HD2. Till now I have only played with the Sense builds. The reason for that is the Sense contacts, calendar and dialer apps integration, and exchange server integration for business mail.
The most important part to me are
the abillity to link Facebook, Twitter and Google contacts together in the contacts app (exchange is not important to me for contacts)
the T9 dialer functionality
the Facebook for Sense integration into the calendar app
and the exchange email client
Does anybody know of any good substitute apps for the above mentioned features? I'm not interested in the HTC widgets and HTC camera.

1. Shockingly, the Facebook and Twitter app would take care of that.
2. Dialer One seems to be pretty popular
3. Dunno
4. Built-in, called Email
Thanks for answering. Does Facebook and Twitter now combine similar contacts into one contact? I think that the newest version of the native Facebook Android app actually syncs with the calendar by default now.
I think it adds the contact but won't merge contacts with the same name. I'm having the same issue. Gone from sense to CM 7

So you are saying that, it links together facebook contact with the contact in your phone, making his profile picture as caller id picture on your phone for example ?
I would recommend you to try launcher pro on top of cyanogenmod7 , even though it doesn't have everything that sense has, it has a launcher that's pretty close to sense , it has widgets like the calendar with agenda, a friends stream for facebook and twitter, or you can do them individually, a favorites widget just like sense, good animation when scrolling thru the pages in the homescreen. I really like it!

Sorry for interupting, but im intrested in Sense like dialer, and sense like people ( for example, persons facebook profile picture appears as my contact picture, caller id ect..)
isnt CleanDroid a CM desire build?
Apparently if you go to edit the contact then press menu again then you can join contacts similar to linking them where sense is available. This was written by someone else on here. Can see who but credit goes to them as this does work.

if you want your facebook events and birthdays you can add them to your google calendar via ical link.
Is there a homescreen widget for ADW/LauncherPro that will show me the mail from my google email app (the Gapps one)?
I spent a little time looking and couldn't find anything and I have really been missing it since I switched from stock sense to Cyanogen AOSP.
Thanks in advance!
Bump ! anyone ?
I am working on one, but it is in its earliest form. It is going to be a text cloud of the mail in your gmail accnt
Its from my damn phone!!!
I am currently running a SenseHD Based ROM, however stripped of the Sense UI (baadnewz lite). This means that I have all of the key HTC system apps (mail, calendar, dialer, people, camera, etc), but none of that Sense UI and launcher (rosie, etc.) Instead I use launcher pro.
The down side is that I cannot use the very nice Sense provided widgets. If I did, I could use the Mail widget to show the email that is received from the Mail application, which is configured to read from an exchange account (push). But since I cannot use this widget, I have to rely on other widgets to show the email.
The problem is that no mail widget that I have found can be "fed" by the HTC Mail app. It doesn't seem to expose the email so that widgets (other than the Sense widgets) to display the email. In other words, every other widget doesn't allow me to select the email account that the Mail application is using.
Alternatives would be to use K9 Email + pure messaging widget, which works, but I loose the ability for push mail.
The funny thing is that the HTC calendar app --does-- expose the calendar events to other widgets. I am able to select my exchange account in the widget settings.
Am I hosed here? Does anyone know of a way I can use an email widget that is fed by the mail from the HTC Mail widget?
I thought that the email and calendar emails/events gets pushed to a central DB for others apps to cherry pick from? I guess this isn't true?
I don't want to automatically forward the email to another IMAP account (say gmail) of which another widget could pick that up...
ideas?
I'm subscribing to this thread... would like to know this as well...
would like go know too, im searching for a real nice Mail widget Hut coudnt find anythingn.
now i forward ms Mails go ms googlemail anderen Push it from there go gmail...
I stubled on the blog of the creater of the EmailWidget.
His widget can gain access to the mail from the HTC Mail widget by forcing the install of the widget to the /system area.
See http://blog.invalidobject.com/android-app-email-widget/comment-page-1
I asked him if this nice side effect would occur for all apps (i.e.: other widgets) to gain access to the mail provided by the HTC Mail.....
If this is possible.. then we are looking good!
On some HTC devices like HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy with Android 2.1 you even don't need to install my app as system app.
I don't know of any other app that is capable of showing mails from htc mail app. That was the main reason i built my app. But it is certainly possible to implement other widgets that could gain access like my app does.
Regards,
Frank
Perhaps this thread can be moved over to the Desire Android Development forum - someone may know how to expose, and or disclose, the mail from the HTC Mail app, with or without root. There has been some hesitation in incorporating a potential integration in some mail widgets (ahem, Pure Messenger) because it requires root and is kinda "hacky" in nature.
The app either has a provider or not. I am not exactly sure why the widget being co-located with the HTC Mail app on /system is required.
The lack of a capable email widget is making me re-think my decision to go senseless!
Try Executive Assistant. Don't recall but I'm not running Sense to test.

Nah, you need K9 for that to read the exchange mails...
i want a tool where i dont need to install any other exchange tool ... Something like EMail Widget was perfect , but you need to have root on a desire Z stock 2.2 rom....
too bad though...

I will preface this by saying I did not DELETE these yet since there is no CWM Recovery for my device at this time. However, I was able to freeze the following from within Titanium Backup and saw no negative consequences.
I will be investigating further to see what other services and apps I can safely remove. But for now, this 71 is a good start.

Hi guys, I've searched but can't find the answer related to CM7 on the atrix. I desperately need to search my exchange/corporate emails in CM7. I am running the current beta on the Atrix. I love the rom but the lack of email search capability is really killing it for me. I can live without the fingerprint scanner but can't live without email search. Am I missing something or is this a feature that is lacking from the mail that is included in the Atrix CM7 build? Thanks.
It's not included in stock email. I had the same problem and my solution was to use Business Calendar. It blows away the stock calendar and I pair it with Pure Calendar Widget to have a 4x2 scrollable calendar widget on my homepage. Other advantages are better viewing options and a more simple way to add events, much more intuitive.
