This is a WIP so forgive me for doing this in steps instead of all at once, I dislike anything from AT&T and Samsung being loaded on the phone, I am an average user that does not use my phone for business so anything like VPN / Exchange is not needed by me. I just like my phone as lean as possible while maintaining stability
Note: This list is from the latest ICS leak, and have been tested on my phone. I have not DELETED the APK's yet, but have them disabled either thru [Applications / All] or using Autostarts, and RomToolbox. Sorry for the rough layout of this list, I have the flu so expect typo's too.

[Edit: jellybean list coming soon.]
I am with you, I hate the bloat I know I will not use and don't want it on my device. If you search in either the SGS-II forum or the Note forum you will find a spreadsheet that is also a good reference on what can be removed.

What he said! ^^^^^^ That list is fairly spot on.

We need a verified list like that for Jelly Bean now, and we also need another list for Startup apps and services, that are safe to remove from Startup. Sometimes you don't need to uninstall an app that you occasionally use, but you certainly don't need it running and eating up resources each time the phone boots.
A great post !!
If i can get a few users too verify the list a few times, i'll add the thread as a resource to the "everything" thread.....
this would help out users a lot !!
thank you......g

there are alot more apks that can be removed. i posted some in another thread awhile back. post number 7 and 8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767113 if you want to add to your list so they can all be in one place. also if you are trying to free up space there are more files that can be removed. in system/media/audio you can delete all extra ringtones,notifications,and alarms. i only have the one i use in each folder and i delete the entire ui folder since i dont like my phone making noise every time i press something. on cm roms there is a video folder in same location that i delete. i have never seen those videos run and are useless. and more i can list later when have time.

Upon finding out that I can't upload my programs made in app inventor to the market (currently google restricts this), I decided to help some other AI developers out and allow them to post their apps for download on my website: www.xxthe3dmanxx.com
Curently I am only accepting apps that fall under these requirements.
1) The app must be useful to the android community (no fart or porn type apps)
2) The app must be free (currently I have no way to accept paid apps)
3) OpenSource is recommended but not required.
4) The app must have been made by you.
5) Only app inventor made apps will be accepted.
If you are interested send me a pm with a description of your app and your name for (application credit), if your app is a beta please list known issues with it. If I approve your app I will send you info on where you can send your app. Also if you would like, once your app gets approved you can also send me an icon for your app and I will replace the stock app inventor icon for you (currently there is no way to do this inside app inventor).
Please allow 2 days for a response from me.
Thats a great offer,
OK well I'm trying to make a simple app that lets people record voice messages, like " there is ice on the road here" and allow other users to be able to see such warnings before they get to the point in question. I thought it could be used with a compass to determin the direction of travel.
With out building a whole navigation system, do you thinkthis could be achieved ?

I like the idea. Sounds difficult but just about anything is possible. Its gonna require a nice database. Let me know how it goes.
a friend of mine had the idea of making an app and thought that id bring it to life, well the idea is that it lets u choose which keyboard u want to use in landscape mode and portrait mode, example being swype in portrait and stock keyboard in landscape... can this be done?

Possibly the app would have to recognize which way the phone is and auto switch the default keyboard for you.

Except that Andriod security stuff restricts that. You can't auto-change the keyboard, you can pop up the dialog to select one, but you can't change it without user intervention.
It makes sense, as keyboards can steal passwords and such, so you don't want to allow a trojan to install a keylogger AND enable it. It would be nice if they would let you pick keyboards to enable switching between though.
This could be bypassed, but it would require a full custom ROM built from source.

Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on the 10.1 have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, bes sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.

I m ready for the test...hav been using my tab for more than 6 months now
i was finding this for a long time... just some questions before i begin testing this on my tab.
is it something like two or more accounts in one OS or multiple OS like i gotta keep ICS and stock honeycomb at the same time...is it possible?
on Samsung Galaxy Tab 7500 Indian Version
Stock Honeycomb 3.2 + pershoot kernel
Its multiple accounts inside one base OS. You can clone your current account, or create fresh installations of the ROM.
OK will install it today and start working over it!

And please rate the app! All you have to do is press the star button in the top left corner of the apps main screen.
Thanks in advance. Good ratings help us invest more time in apps and give other users with similar hardware peace of mind.
Yeah, works like a charm here. Allready purchased the key to support you guys. Had set up one main profile for daily use, one profile for watching movies and one for my mother if she wants to play some games. No problems at all.

Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!
i tried this app last night on one of the cm9 (feb,14th's) nightlies on my nook color and its nice, i like it.
Thanks, glad to hear it. Be sure to give me some feedback on the lockscreen if you do decide to buy the app!
Its working perfectly here! Thank for this awesome app!
Anything other than praise to report
How can I test the secure login manager if the lite version does not allow secure login?
ATM you cant, but soon you will. In any case, many people have bought the app and it is them that i am calling on. You dont have to if you dont want to. That is something you will no doubt learn about this forum...
Your original post said:
"The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on."
I assumed that meant I could test the secure login with the lite version. So I downloaded it, installed it, and found out that I couldn't. Thought you might want to know. Sorry for the inconvenience, I will uninstall it now.
The switch screen will be free in the next version, only password protection will be charged for...

What do you think of yesterday's update?
I have SwitchMe installed on my CM7 Nook Color.
I don't use my (main) profile too often, my girlfriend uses her secondary profile nearly daily. Today I tried to switch to my profile, and I got a message saying the app is not compatible with my device.
I can't switch back to my main profile. I rebooted, and still get the same issue.
There is not a password, I'm using the free version. I am unsure if there was a recent update as my girlfriend is the primary user, and I don't see the SwitchMe app in the Android Market for her profile.
Please advise.
You need to update the app. Look here: http://bit.ly/wGHxRt
Sorry about that, your last update seems to have fallen into that dark, hour long space between a new release and the hotfix.

Thank you for the quick reply. I used the unswitchme.zip file referenced in that post, and ran it in recovery. I got worried when I rebooted and was in my secondary profile, with no way to switch back. I installed SwitchMe from the market on that profile, and it detected both profiles as normal.
The only real issue I see now is that SwitchMe is installed in my secondary profile, not my main profile. If I ever decide to stop using SwitchMe, how can I ensure that my main profile is what's kept as the main, as I can't uninstall it from main account?
Thanks again!
Whatever profile you uninstall it in will be your main profile...

So I would actually need to uninstall it again with the zip file, and reinstall it on my main profile to "fix" the issue and return it to normal?
Not trying to be a pain, just want to fully understand the process, as my girlfriend may be getting her own tablet soon, and I won't need to use SwitchMe anymore. I'd just like to make sure I can safely remove it at some point and go back to using my tablet on it's own without the app.
Thanks again for the great app and very helpful information.

First off,
Sorry moderators If I choose the wrong subforum to post
Today, I was warned by Google about some behavior with my account and suggested to change my pass. I thought was due my 3G experiments and new IP etc.
Later, testing everything was alright I see a Samsung tablet added to my Play account on November 22, 2012, but don't have one. Only had Motorola and all the time.
Then, I saw my Google account was accessed from Russia but also from United States. And I'm not living there, neither two countries. I see US was the first external Country added to my activity report along November, and Russia was added on December.
The strange thing is Gmail not displaying any strange IP, only local IPs from my computers and phone.
Minutes ago, checking what was download from Market I've found lot applications I never installed. Adults and Games applications.
Do you think this can be because some android apps?
I never downloaded from other sources than market but used custom roms form this lovely forum.
Do you think it's some kind of market problem when devices are identified?
I would like to remove that apps not downloaded by me and the device itself. But seems there is no way to do that.
Any ideas will be really appreciated.
First of all, I would recommend you stop experimenting with your IP . Secondly, you can remove the downloaded apps from the Play Store list but it's a time-consuming process.
1. Open Play Store.
2.Press the Menu button and select My Apps(Phone) or click the Download icon(Tablet).
3.Click the All Tab.
4.Next to each app, there should be a cross or some other icon.
5.Click it and the app shall be removed from your download list.
6.Celebrate !
7.Hit thanks if it helped :thumbup:

Hi,
Thanks for the advice about IP. But this should not be a problem.
This probes how stupid become some companies within time. And we accept his stupidity.
How Google allows connections to your account form a different country than the one you're living?
Small companies have this security option by default.
Two steps verification is one option but not the final solution. This is basis 101. Now I know Facebook or Yahoo are a lot safe.
Now the problem is to remove from my account the android device I don't have.
Some friend says Facebook only needs a search engine to kill any players and seems he is right. I'm very disappointed by Google and unfortunately I have to stick with or move away to Apple.

Whoa man! No need to take such quick actions due to some small flaws Google allows the access because you were still using your phone which is synced to your Google account during the process of testing your 3G and changing IP.

still some concurrency problems resulting in an app crash

I attached some screenshots of the app. If you'd like to help me, just send me a PM with your LIVE e-mail address (the one you are using for the market). At the moment I'm looking for up to 10-15 testers.
I wish I could pay you for your efforts but I can't However, I will offer each beta tester a refund for the in-app purchase to remove ads (~1.5$).
During beta stage there won't be ads and if so, all in-app purchases are free during the app is published within the beta market. There won't be a "stand alone" paid version of this app.
I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
Yeah, Rudy Huyn app is good, but crashing (mostly on devices with 512MB RAM).
9gag app for devices with less RAM would be good. Lookin forward.

You mean switching to fullscreen directly instead of showing the list first?
Yep, would be nice I think.. Maybe as an option?

You're very welcome. Just send me a PM with your market e-mail address, so that I can grant you access to the app within the beta market.

Sounds good I'm going to finish the bookmark system this evening (currently I'm stuck at work ;(). Afterwards I will implement the settings page. If you're lucky you can use it tomorrow morning
I think you're doing good job, from screenshot I can see 2 good differences with other's app
1 comment part ,yours is cleaner
2 screenshot 6, I like it! so I can click only the post I want (everything but the stupid duck )
just sent you pm...

Thank you I just sent you a PM with the market link.
I just submitted an update to the market. Bookmarks are working for now Still no settings
Edit.
At the moment there are 3 testers. So, don't hesitate to drop me a few lines
I'm busy right now , can't try the "bookmark" error you described in pm, but I was thinking if you can add "resume last position" for the sections...(like the other app), bye :good:
Bookmarks work fine so far, only removing them from bookmarks is only temporary (reloading the list gets all bookmarks again)

Are you sure on that? Coz actually it isn't possible. The list maps directly to a database. When you remove an item from the list, it's removed from the database automatically. I also cannot reproduce what you are saying. Is anybody else experiencing the same?
edit.
I just pushed another tiny update to the store
1.0.0.3
- submitting crash reports should work now
- added (basic) settings. choose which channel shall be displayed on the hub page and whether to start browsing channels in fullscreen or in "quick browsing mode"
- localization: en, de

I update right now!
the home is better with icons before "bookmark, settings ecc"
Maybe it's normal but when you navigate through the two pages of channels sometimes it makes some lag, but not everytime.
Are you interested about italian translation?

I will definitely think about this feature. At the moment I don't have clue how to implement it without breaking user experience.
The problem is quite simple. The collection of items displayed in a list are fully virtualized. That means items are both loaded and rendered on demand - starting with the most recent post in a channel. It's more or less simple to initialize a channel from a specified point (last position the user left) but at that time I don't know anything about the ancestor items (posts). In the end the list, which is shown to you, will start at the last position you left and you won't be able slide left to view newer posts. The only solution which currently comes to my mind is to load a channel from the beginning and skipping all items until I reach the one you viewed last time. Of course I can do this but it's a damn waste of resources (CPU, memory and traffic).
As said, I will think about this one. But not now

Well, it shouldn't be normal
Just to make sure I get your point. You're talking about the list view and fullscreen view of a channel? The lag occures when you switch between those two views?
An Italian translation would be great but at the moment I need to finish the app first. Afterwards I could provide you with a list of strings
Starting to test it tommorow
ok tried a lot and no more lag , never! I think there was some bloatware running on the phone.
about the "resume last post" I'm not a dev but I understand to fix... I prefer your app over other's becuase it's faster, if I have to choose between "resume" and speed, the second one is better!!!
good job!

As I told you in the Email, great app.
Here are some ideas to make the app better:
1. For the channels icon you can take the latest picture from tha cahnnel (you can make it refresh every time the app starts or sth. like that)
2. Resume from the last picture you saw in the channel. That means when I'm watching a channel and than go back to the menu and watch other channel and wann go back to the previous channel so that I musn't start watching from the latest picture but there will be a pop up window or sth like that so I will be able to choose if I want resume or start new session.
3. When I tap on the picture there is always some free space under tha picture (see in the attachments "screen 1.png"). It looks really crappy so you should remove it.
That's all till now I will tell you when I found sth.
