http://forum.xda-developers.com – Just wanting to start a list as to which apps/files have been been checked to see if after removing won't mess up the phone. I want to debloat this as much as possible I've removed all at&t apps except smart wifi removed Polaris office, live wallpapers, Facebook, city ID want to remove YP but it says LG YP and looks like there is some link to it from the contact book that may break, if someone has already done that please post. Not going to touch any Google apps yet since looks like some are getting security errors on reboot what else have you guys deleted and haven't had any issu (HowTos)

Stories similar to what apps have you removed after root?

Can anybody provide a list of apps (e.g from LG) that is useless and can be safely removed in v10f? Thanks

Just got a Razr M and of course 1 day later I HAVE to root it. So I used the root 'Sticky'd' to this forum and now I need to get rid of all the bloatware thats been makin me bonkers since i activated this phone.

I used Titanium for all my rooting business. I usually just freeze apps for the possibility of upcoming OS updates.

removed apps 21 weeks 3 days ago

IF YOU'RE NOT SURE, FREEZE IN TITANIUM FIRST

Hello, I own a Motorola Xoom 2 (UK/France Wifi only with 16 GB) which it is rooted as well. I'm afraid if I can't upgrade to ICS since I removed some stock apps (I know this was stupid). Is that true if I removed some stock apps I can't upgrade to ICS anymore?

If so, how can I restore all stock apps?

Not sure how I lost it "All apps" group ... but it's no longer there! I had a group I created with a few things, but never used it and removed it. Later went back into apps and "All apps" was gone as well the one I created/removed.

I am a newbie to the smart phone! So all patience and 'duh' respones are appreciated! :)

Thanks! smg

Google announced Thursday that it has remotely deleted two Android applications from users' phones, reasoning that the "practically useless" apps had "intentionally misrepresented their purpose." The Internet search giant pointed to this action as one of many security controls Android posses to protect users.

Has anyone noticed how much smoother scrolling is in the phone call history and contact list apps?

but in regular apps (like facebook/play store) and native messaging app scrolling is horrible like real choppy

i wish all apps could scroll like the contact list anyway to change some settings or would it have to be rebuilt?

Hi guys can we have a list of all the apps which are removable bloatware on our devices?

I'll update this op if we can come up with a list of safe apps to remove without messing phone up.

Also a description/functionality of certain "odd" apps which we don't know much about so some people like me do not remove an app which I might use.

Cheers :D
