I know HOW to remove the bloatware from Android phones using Titanium Backup Pro, but I'm curious to know what bloatware is SAFE to remove without causing any major problems with the OS. Thoughts, ideas and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I took off faves, modes as well. Also amazon, setup, all themes, swype if you don't use it. I think that was about it. Make sure you do a good nandroid backup before you do it, so you can restore all of it if you need to take it back in for some reason.

Did you delete ALL your themes or did you just delete the ones you weren't using? Also deleting modes and faves didn't conflict with anything? I was kinda on the fence on these apps
Nope I used titanium backup to uninstall the stuff, I also did take off amazon as well

Do I need to be s-off or just perm rooted to delete system apps? because when I try to delete some of the themes or system apps with Titanium Backup and I restart my phone they come back.Please Help!

With Titanium backup, you don't have to uninstall, if you want to keep them in case you need them later. You can simply 'freeze' the apps. This way, you keep them, they just go out of system memory and the icons will not show up either on your Launcher.

You cannot delete system apps via Titanium Backup. You can only backup the data. You will need Root Explorer or something equivalent to delete the system app. Make sure you make a backup first though.

+3 but be careful some apps are needed by the system to run properly head over to the g2 section basically you can remove the same apps

Thanks. Did not know that. Thought system apps were off limits with Titanium Backup.
Here is the thread I saw that says it does system apps are off limits. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835810

Ti Backup cannot backup system apps - only their data. It can, however, remove them with the 'force remove' function.
But, a major +1 for freezing them instead. It might just save your ass, and it serves the same function as deleting the app anyway.
Can someone please share the htc lockscreen app from the app folder I mistakenly deleted it and the oden file

I wouldn't remove friend stream if you plan on using facebook. What happened, was the phone was constantly looking for friendstream to "sync" but since the app was gone, it never reported back as completing syncing...so i'd always have the circle with arrows "sync" in my task bar. got so annoying.
had no problem when I froze friend stream and still use FB.
Anyone know what the my device, my account and search people is listed under in titanium?
I can't seem to find them.
Also any one have a complete list of what can you can freeze or uninstall?
So far I only freeze but here is what I have:
AppPack Asphalt com.tmobile.theme x6 demo videos Faves x2 flickr Friend Stream x2 Gallery I use 3d HTC Weather locationPicker x2 Mail x2 Email account messager x2 my Downloads Provider (No clue what it does) my modes news x2 peep quickoffice ringtone trimmer rockband screen share setup stocks x2 t-mo tv themes provider (no clue what it does) TTS Service Twitter Visual Voice Mail Voicemail Weather x2 Weather Agent and provider
Has anyone uninstalled the genius button app after remapping the button to the search function? I don't use it at all and its always running...

We all know that we can use titanium with the temp root. Have anyone tried any other apps that require root? We can post them up here if they work or not that way people can know what they can and can't use. Just thought it would give us something to do whiles we wait for s-off but at the same time it can be helpful to other people.
P.S. Sorry is someone posted a tried like this.....

Anyone tried msl reader? It should work on most HTC Devices...maybe this would be easier for getting the msl?
tried several
ROM MANAGER works, but needs reboot after fix permissions.
I used it to partition my SD card which you need to run ADFREE
After you use it and re-boot you need to blow out superuser because it will fc (force close)
Re-root using Jeremy's Fre3dom busybox all in one works best and fastest for me..
Thus ADFREE for Android
Obviously ROOT EXPLORER and TITANIUM
ROOT MANAGER to remove bloat but again, you need to reboot after removing bloat... Back to Jeremy
WIRELESS TETHER needs a special kernel, (netflitered) It's not a root problem.

Barnacle has been reported as working with temp root and PDA Net Tablet works without root at least for the web browser, using your bluetooth connection. I've been using PDA Net with my Nook Color, but haven't tried Barnacle yet.
I was able to get my msl to work before Su started fc. It works.

Has anyone successfully changed the system font through Type Fresh? I tried numerous times, but it keeps giving me an error message; Cannot remount /system. If this doesn't work with the temp-root, does anyone know if there is any method to change the system font with the temp-root?

Do an XDA search for "AppShare". This is probably one of my favorite apps. It doesn't require root though as stated in the OP. Or do you mean exotic in the other sense? If so, I have nothing to offer in that area.

Hey hi guys
The new android market sure is beautiful but our phone simply cannot take that much load,
First I thought overclocking my phone would help me make it faster but turns out its still slow
If you are in same situation, here is the solution :
Download the attachment
Install the file normally
Now go to titanium backup n freeze the updater app
Now while you are still in titanium backup, long click on market n select integrate to os...this would push the app into system
P.S.: The last 2 steps make sure your market wont again update itself to the new slow market.
N yes this requires rooted phone
-Hit Thanks if I have helped you!

oh... i dont know why but for me it was bit slow...so thought if anyone is looking for apk to go back to old one, he could use some help
You can also remove market updater from gapps before you flash it too.
regards,slymobi
There's an app called "Old Market" that can do this. It can also revert back to the new one. I find it quite useful!
(Also, on the old market, sometimes my apps download, but not install, why? )
same problem here...
I'm running CM7 and V6 Supercharger with a smartassV2 overclock set to 710 MHz and Market is running like a charm. For those of you that don't have the V6 mod, wiping your DALVIK Cache helps, too.

have a look at Darktremor A2SD Scripts - does require an EXT3 partition on your SD card.
and I also read somewhere that Darktremor is not being supported anymore, can anyone confirm this?
You can just remove updates from Application Manager to revert back to old market.
I have 2 Dropbox accounts and want to easily switch between them on my Android phone.
The stock experience requires that you remove one account from settings > accounts to access the other one.
Is there any apps that allow you to change DB accounts easily? A search of Google Play found lots of hits but nothing to do that function...
Thanks

I haven't tried this yet, but could you have one that shares a folder with the other one? Not sure if it would work, but you could give it a shot....
There are a few file explorers what will let you do this. The one that i like the most is Solid Explorer, but ES File Explorer might let you do it as well.
If you're rooted you can just have the data backed up in titanium for each
Here are some other options

The ES File Explorer method (the 2nd one listed) worked like a charm for me.
I have a Droid Incredible (Original, Rooted), and a Droid Incredible 4G LTE (non-rooted).
