Thought it would be a good idea to have a list of apps which can be safely "frozen" after root i can update this top post regularly to build up a list?
there is already one around in themes and app section

I am trying to delete some of the pre installed bloatware on my vibrant. i got most of it off myself, by looking at the icon in the //res/drawable folders but i was wondering if anyone knows the APK names of some of (or all) of the apps...I just dont want to go around and delete somthing i need... Maybe we can compile a list so people wont go deleting random stuff, i dunno
What i am mostly looking for is daily breifing,lattitude, places, Visual voicemail, Allshare
Thanks
Check the sticky at the top of this forum. There is a link to a list in there.
Just thought I'd let you guys know that Listables works great on Xoom. I figure that most people have probably manually installed a lot of the apps on their phones using apks and since we can't nandroid yet, this would be a good way to keep a list of all the apps you currently have on your device. Just check off your apps in the list, email/dropbox/bluetooth as html file(w/ QR codes,links to market,etc.),xml, or plain text. It can do a few more things as well. Anyway, check it out!

Edit: Hmm...maybe this should have been put in the Themes and Apps subforum. Sorry about that!!
Yes I have read the stickied thread, but it isnt being maintained and i believe the list to be mainly applications. Services also run, so could people let me know which ones they have safely removed or blocked? And i will test and confirm the result, for my own reference and for others if they read.
Thanks guys

It still is up to date, 2.3.3 only added some more facebook stuff you can remove. Feel free to post it in THAT topic as that's what it's there for.
Services are mainly comming from apps to...
oh god another thread without even using the stickied one.. you can reply there
oh god
Just seems sensible for somebody to maintain it, im used to sticked threads being updated not with posts here there and everywhere but litrelly update/edits. So services are listed in that thread to? Looked like just apps to me
Apk files contain apps, widgets and services. That's why it makes sense to define safely removable APKs which, if erased, will be gone with their related apps, widgets and services.
Hello hello! Ive been reading up on the forums for about a year now (sorry for the leeching!), but it's my first time posting.
First I'd just like to introduce myself as a proud owner of an xperia play r800i (not yet rooted).
Here are my questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer:
1. Is there a way to show more than 8 apps in the Recent Apps list? (where you long hold the home button). Oh and without the use roms, apps, and other substitutes. Perhaps somewhere in the manifest?
2. Also how does one exclude certain applications and tasks from appearing on the Recent Apps list?
Hopefully I posted this in the right section, couldn't decide between the general section or development section, so apologies if I mis-posted.
You did well. Development section is a section you want to avoid in order to ask questions and so on. Ideally, only people who are bringing something to the table (ROMs, programs, kernels) should start threads there.
That said, there are third party Apps with more recent Apps to show. Launcher Pro allows a swipe function which shows the 16 most recent Apps, but you can't summon them from the Home button easily like the native function.
Hi, I'm a fairly new Android user, I just rooted my Tegra Note and installed Titanium Backup for deleting the apps that came with Android that I don't use. However, there were more apps on that list that apps I knew were on my tablet. Googling, I found that some apps that come with Android can be deleted, but can reduce the system performance. I found some lists in the forum (below), but still there are lots of apps that don't appear on them. Can anyone tell me which apps are safe to delete using Titanium so my tablet don't get broken??. I want to eliminate anything (apps, game, utilities, etc.) that is not needed by the system.
Thanks in advance.

You could always try "freezing" the apps instead. As far as the system knows, they're deleted, but they can easily be unfrozen if something goes wrong.
