why do you think people don't use the search???????????
people are pretty smart but if you ask them to use something that sorta kinda works sometimes
well peoples behavior speaks for itself! and that is the answer to why people dont use it.

Why? In 30 seconds of searching, you could have found three threads related to what you want. Since you didn't, I went ahead and provided them here.

There are so many outdated posts, it's really difficult to know a good list from a bad one. One link you gave has a list from June with a handful of apps. Another link has a huge list that is for some kind of automated script that I don't understand. I'd just like a list of apps that can be frozen from Titanium Backup if I want to freeze them.

The list of apps in that script are safe to freeze and that is why they are included in the script. You don't have to use the script, just freeze the apps that have a strike through them on the list. I'm not sure how to make it easier for you, aside from creating a custom list for you and that doesn't really help anyone.

I didn't realize there were crossed-out apps in that list. Basically, I just think it would be great if there was a master list with everything that is safe to freeze. I'll use the apps on that script list with strike through for now.

[Q] How does one clean out trashware?

Just got an HTC Glacier(T-Mobile mytouch 4G) and I'm quite happy with it. However, it came with a large number of (IMHO) trash apps that do nothing but clutter my apps screen. I guess they must be set in ROM since I can find no way to uninstall them. Could someone tell me the simplest way to do this? I don't want to mess with the phone too much, just delete all this crapware.
Thanks
One must first post questions in Q&A section, and then stop talking in 3rd person! (Geez, English outside of school is even worse.)

Agreed. Now since the thread has been moved, the best way is to permaroot and use Titanium backup to 'freeze' the bloatware.
Good idea would be to quickly skim through threads since there are at least 3 that exlain exactly what you're looking for.

don't freeze... remove freezing leaves the apps there it just disables them... uninstalling actually frees the space up on your phone...

equivalent to jailbreaking

i read a thread, which i cant seem to find any more, about 'rooting' your android so that you can download any app for free.
there was two ways i read that it can be done, 1)downloading this app in the market, then just clicking a button in the app which then 'jailbreaks' or 'roots' your android and 2) installing it via USB..
does anyone know what the app is called?
or if someone can recall where this thread is, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advanced!
Ummm no.
Getting things for free is not what we like to talk about round here (if you exclude ROMs etc ). It is sometimes known as warez... or even theft.
Rooting is nothing to do with this. Very simply, rooting it is the process by which you can gain administrative access to your phone and enable options and configurability that you otherwise couldn't get. It also allows you to install certain apps that do not work on non-rooted phones. Most of the Android ROMs in the HD2 section are already rooted.
Ummm okay. Don't know what the above reply was about. You're looking for this (or similar)...

I can never find it on the market, so I always get it from here.
Hope it helps

the reply that you mentioned is about the comment the OP made about thinking that you can get any app for free when rooting, nobnut was just mentioning not to ask about getting free paid apps.
^ ya I just read that thread about not asking for free apps, so this thread not need to be expounded
But thanx for the comments anyways. This forum is extremely useful, and i don't want to jeopardize my status on it!
Good thing you could realize it that fast. Most of us realize it before joining. Good job anyway!

Oops - my bad! I didn't notice he'd asked to download any app "for free".
Apologies to nobnut
No worries.

Beware!! Fake Apps!

I see there are already several threads made on different dates on this, but a friend of mine had experienced problems and I researched it and found that it was this http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20049004-245.html. Just thought I'd let you guys know, be careful. =D
As long you dont download pirated apps i think you will be fine.

Here's my advice:
1. - NEVER install an app outside the Android Market unless you know exactly what the app does, and only if it comes from a legit website.
2. - Take the time to learn the Basics of Android Permissions and what they do.
3. - If you are unsure why an app needs a permission, email the dev. If the guy's legit, he will email you back or make an update in the market description.
4. - If all else fails, read the comments posted about the app. If something seems strange to you, chances are that somebody else is thinking the same thing...

lmao thats such a great idea. haha. make an app. put it on the market. make another app. post it on the file-sharing sites. and let the pirates eat it for breakfast (not captain crunch). i applaud the dev of this app. this my friends is how pirates will be stopped.

you can do this with LBE Privacy Guard
Alot of the devs who make these apps are pirates themselves!! Considering they steal other peoples artwork and claim it as their own.
What I'm referring to in particular are the many different multiples of the same damn live wallpapers all put out by at least 5 or 6 different devs!! Yeah I'm sure they all own the rights to those images! Sure! I don't even think these people properly thank the original artist let alone give them a cut!!
Also how about all these damn apps that install different boot animations on your phone. Do you really think they ask the creators if its ok if they use their boot animations?? Hell no!!
What about the fact that half these damn apps show up on the market for say 4.99 last for around a month then mysteriously disappear!! Gee, talk about thievery!!
