[Q] What bloatware apps I can remove from Optimus V? - Optimus One, P500, V General

Hello. I have installed SuperOneClick and I'm able to remount the system file system as rw. What apps I can safely remove from the V to minimize running services. I need the Market, of course, Navigation (just in case), browsing, messaging. I don't want the facebook, twitter, etc. (bloatware).
Thanks in advance.

it doesn't work
I just need the original keyboard
just put SuquashiInputmethod.apk in /system/app/ and give permissions 644 -> reboot
Maybe you have just to activate Standardinputmethod in -> Settings -> Language and keyboard , because SuquashiInputmethod.apk is shown in your posted app-list.

How did you put the apk to /sytem/app/, with root explorer ?
i move the file and give it permissions like the pic
Thats okay.
in ->settings->Language and Keyboard is there Standardinput listed ?
no
............
Then use SEUS or PCCompanion to repair your phone, but backup your data or you will loose them.
ok
thanks

Seems like a lot. Someone posted awhile back of apps that are safe to remove. Once I find the link, I'll repost it in here.

Heres the link I found. If you look through it, there are even more links as to which is safe to remove.

Hope this helps!!
I've seen most of these posts, but most of them take out webtop too, and none of them actually say what the apk's are for. None of them are actually removing phone and sms features either, so I'm removing quite a bit more than normal.
Why go to the trouble?

Because I can. Honestly the only reason

Removing languages and unused stuff

Hi,
I want to create a light rom for my RK2818 tablet. I removed lots of apk's, and it works fine. Now, I want to delete the unnecessary languages and dictionaries from the keyboard (LatinIME.apk).
How can I do it? Can I simply remove the folders like res\raw-da with Total Commander (compression set to 0)? I want to keep English and Hungarian languages only.
I'm also interested in more tips to speed up this unofficial cyanogenmod 2.3.7 rom, because this old chinese tablet with 256mb ram is only used to watch movies and browse the internet. I've already updated the hosts file with the adfree version, and removed the following apk's:
ADWLauncher.apk (replaced with LauncherPro)
Bluetooth.apk (no BT in this device)
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
Camera.apk (no cam...)
CMStats.apk
CMUpdateNotify.apk
Contacts.apk (it's a tablet)
ContactsProvider.apk
Development.apk
DSPManager.apk
Email.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
Mms.apk
Phone.apk
Protips.apk
Provision.apk
QuickSearchBox.apk
RomManager.apk
SpareParts.apk
Stk.apk
TelephonyProvider.apk
ThemeChooser.apk
ThemeManager.apk
VoiceDialer.apk
VpnServices.apk
Here's the current apk list with gapps added, everything is still working:
806lpp.apk
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
AndroidTerm.apk
ApplicationsProvider.apk
Browser.apk
Calculator.apk
CertInstaller.apk
CMParts.apk
CMScreenshot.apk

Thanks for the suggestions, other tips are also welcomed

[Enhancement]Manually Debloating Xperia Ray 4.1.B.1.13 Stock Firmware

Hello All, This thread is about the safe removal of bloatware that Xperia Ray 4.1.B.1.13 ICS ROM contains. Screenshots in 2nd post
There are many threads which serves the same purpose, also there are many tools and flashable zips to achieve this.
After trying all those I found that my phone still has some bloatware left which can be removed safely. So, I thought creating a thread might help the 2011 Xperia users which apps in the /system/app/ folder can be removed safely.
Now my phone's /system/app/ folder size is 64MB(Calculated with ES File Manager) feels blazing fast and smooth.
Important: You should have some commonsense while deleting the apps. You need a rooted 4.1.B.1.13 firmware for this deletion process. All other ROM users may also get benefit of this list.
How To Delete:
- By using any root explorer app. Browse through /system/app/ and delete the listed apps.
OR
- By using the command - adb shell rm /system/app/apkname.apk
Though there is no description provided for the app you can remove it with no second thought. They're all useless and are sometimes available on the Play Store. Some apps you can find a replacement which are lighter versions.

Just in case you deleted an useful app, don't panic, I'm posting a link where you can get all the system apps of 4.1.B.1.13 from here: SYSTEMAPPS_ST18i_4.1.B.1.13_VODAFONE_DE
If you feel you can free up even more system space, kindly post which all apps/stuff can be further deleted.
Apparently, this thread can be added to the [COLLECTION] Themes, Mods, Apps, Tuts etc. [UPDATE-3/8/13]
Happy Modding, Peace.

Feel free to hit 'Thanks' if my post helped you. :good:
Screenshots
Space occupied by bloatware before debloating the ROM After ripping all these things out you'll get 117MB(approx) extra space on the /system So ultimately your phone will be flying

If one gets rid of the FaceLock.apk, can as well delete the pittpatt folder in /system/vendor. Should save another 21-22 MB.
