Hi! have some one, a complet safe list of apps to remove from the new version 2.1 ?

How about a philosophy only installing apps you like, use and possibly need?
But afaik you can uninstall all apps you don't like
What was your question about?

He is asking about uninstalling the bloatwares, SE craps that Sony Ericsson loads with firmware..
(e.g. - Demo apps like peggle, wisepilot etc.)

Beware what you delete, I deleted apps I didn't need then the calender wouldn't work, reinstalled all apps and the calender still wouldn't work, finally restarted phone and got into the boot loop.
just reinstalling software again now, so be careful

has anyone tried
PcCompanion.apk?
I hate that nagging screen on usb.
PcCompanion.apk is safe to remove was one of the first apk's i removed and I havent had any problems.
Just in case you Pro users don't get over to the mini side very often..

this worked on my mini, and it also removed the annoying option to install PC companion on your PC every time you plug in the USB.
also moving all the .ogg ringtones, alarms and notification sounds from system/media/audio to the equivalent folders on the SD card frees up another 4MB or so.
(I have navigon installed on me phone which takes up about 20MB of internal memory so every MB I can squeeze out of internal memory is a real bonus)
I have a request for a gmail.apk that gets rid of the show pictures button and loads it automatically when I open an email. I know the galaxy tab apk does this and it worked for my fascinate, but it doesn't seem to work for the nook. Maybe it's user error? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
Has anyone compiled a list for the Flyer and View. Please share if available. Thanks in advance.
I'm also interested in knowing what is safe to uninstall or freeze. I'm not familiar with Sense and don't want to freeze something that it may need.
Thanks,
Ryan.
I'm more interested in how to remove those apps I've absolutely no interest in...
I'm rooted, but still can't remove them the "usual" way. So, how can I remove them?
I use Titanium Backup. I don't actually uninstall them since I'm not sure what will happen if the os can't find them. Instead, I freeze them, but before I freeze them, I make a backup of the app just to make sure.
So far I've disabled without any issues

Looking forward to see what others have frozen/uninstalled.

This is all I have in my /system/app directory. I have a Flyer, so I wouldn't know what Sprint apps to remove, but I imagine that the /system/app directory is fairly similar. The above post shows what you can remove Sprint wise. I have no idea what the hell Smith.apk is, if anyone knows please let me know if I can get rid of that too.

I recently got the Electrify and went threw and removed a bunch of "bloat" from the phone. I also removed the stock email.apk. I have realized I do not get any email's pushed to me now. (I use the stock Gmail app). Do I not get email's pushed because I removed the stock email app? If so, does anyone have the apk that I can get so I can reinstall it please?
Thank you.
Here are some inverted apps for the 300. So far I only have loaded these two apks onto my tab and they work great, with no problems. Simply rename each of the apks in system/app to gmail.bak or calendar.bak and place these in system/app, reboot and enjoy. If you run into any sync problems re-sync and give it a little time to settle and sync with Google servers. These apks are the work of Dustin17 from his awesome cobalt theme, so he gets the credit! I am just the guinea pig who tried them out and they work. Please remember do not delete the original .apks out just rename to .bak. If you liked and use please hit the thanks button.
Here's a link to more inverted apps. SOME OF THEM DO NOT WORK.
