Hey everyone!
I was wondering if anyone knew what Dell sync apps I could safely remove after I root?
Further more, I am with with Rogers and 2.2.
What stock apps can I remove without breaking my phone? Thanks!
[Guide] List of Apps Safe To Remove
The link assumes an unlocked retail Streak, so the apps your Streak has will likely be different. However, if not listed they should still be safe to remove.
Wow thanks! Im looking specifically for Dell products on the phone like the dell walk through video. Ill get back here with the file names

hi,
i'm rooted and i want to delete
-assistant free
-copilot live
-evernote
-wellcome dell
-zinio reader
-the dell sync app thats popping up everytime i connect to pc
anyone an idea where to delete these and their name.
thanks
update: get rootexplorer or another android explorer and go to the root of your device.
then to the system drawer and then to the app drawer...tap the mount button so now
you have mount R/O
then go to the apk app files you want to delete.
btw..you have to be rooted to do this.
I'm with this guy. Someone please tell us how to delete these apps. I only want my Streak to have my apps, not what Dell thinks is good or useful. Thanks 4 TuneIn Radio though Dell.

Or there's quite a few app removers on the market place
Once rooted, use titanium backup to remove that crap, works a treat and is free on market

Agreed....Titanium Backup will let you freeze apps to see if a removal would have adverse effects and you can remove them after a bit of time if all is good.
So, on my LG Vortex (aka Optimis One Verizon Edition) the apps "Facebook for LG" and "Twitter for LG" are wrapped up into one apparently, called SNS. I hate twitter with a passion (no offense to any tweeters on the forum) and I only go on FB once in a while to look at my fiancée's posts, which I normally do thru the browser anyways. I would like to remove this app, but I am hesitant as I have no way of knowing what it'll affect on my phone. The apps are tied together into a cryptically named system app, and I'm worried they might be tied to something else, or worse, something I use. So, does anyone know what else (if anything) is included in the SNS app? Or if it is safe to remove this app? Any success or horror stories?
Thanks in advance guys.

Um, hello? anyone?
You can remove it buddy. Don't worry. You just have to do it the right way. It is better to use an uninstaller than doing it manually.
I use Uninstaller for Root from the market. It can backup the app and remove it. Or you can use Titanium Backup as everybody else does.
Alright, awesome. I actually already have the Uninstaller For Root app, so I'll use that
I was curious, does anyone know what stock apps on the EVO 3D can be removed safely?
And for that matter, is does anyone know if any of the Rogers apps that come pre-installed on the Rogers version of the phone are tied to the phone's functionality (and thus can't be removed)? One I really want to get rid of is "Wi-Fi Calling", but freezing it in Titanium doesn't seem to have any effect.
I've started freezing apps now that I have Titanium installed and working, but figured someone may have already gone through the process of removing useless stock apps.

here is a decent post on which apps are safe to remove although its probably geared towards the sprint version, i'm sure there will be some overlap. hope that makes a decent starting point!

Has anyone compiled a list of the safe-to-remove apps for the AT&T GSII along with corresponding .apk filenames, yet? I've already removed a number of them via Root Explorer, using the list of removed apps from Cognition's rom, but there's a couple that still remain and I'm wondering if they're ok to remove or not. A full list would be best, though I'm mainly wondering about:
Kies Air
Featured Apps
Social Hub
AT&T Hot Spots (doesn't show in app list, but still shows as a running app for me)
Don't know...I saw that AT&T Hot Spots wasn't actually in the drawer but it shows up as a running app too. I don't plan on removing Kies Air or the Social Hub (for the moment) but I'd like to remove "Featured Apps" but when I go into Titanium Backup it'll ask me if I'm sure I want to do this since it's part of the framework so I've backed off of it for now...I'd like to know about these 4 apps and if they're safe to remove as well.
I used root explorer and did it manually. I lost count how many I ripped out.

From this thread.
Honestly I'd recommend installing Titanium Backup and doing a backup before you remove ANY apps. You simply never know if you might need them down the road for something. Sure 99% of the AT&T crap is crap, but there's no reason not to back them up first.
Also, if you're worried about it, buy the PRO version (of TB) and simply freeze ones you don't want to use. This isn't deleting them, it simply disables them.

I have the PRO version. I know about freezing but I was being lazy and I know there are much more adventurous people than me who've gone ahead and ripped things out. I didn't want to do the freeze app, okay seems safe to remove, repeat per next app deal. Like I said, I'm lazy...
Some of these At&t apps i cant find under root explorer, for example featured apps. what would be the file name for featured apps?

If you want to uninstall even more bloatware you need to get the app called
"SystemAppRemover" from the market. (everything will show up with this).
It makes it very easy to uninstall most any system apps.
The app has other functions too.
It's also best to flash a Nandroid backup of your rom before uninstalling
bloatware/system apps.
(use CWM Manager or CWM Recovery and NOT rom manager for backing up).
Good luck!
Any ideas on how to remove bloatware? Such as McAfee and other stuff? Titanium backup cant remove even with root, after rebooting its still there.
My apps when updatin saying "not enough space"=(
Thats a good question, I have a bunch of apps that are disabled.
I'm going to give this method a try and i'll report back:

**Update**
I was able to uninstall everything I wanted to, the app is actually pretty nice because you can place things in the "trash" incase you don't want to entirely delete them (such as with My Dell and the Dell Camera). I still have the toggles for Dell Cast and My Dell in the drop down but they don't do anything and I do not get any type of error which is nice.
I used rom manager pro it has the built in app manager and root browser. Successfully removed skitch and maxx audio. (Scared to do to much until device has its own recovery....also worth noting if they are disabled the app manager won't find them to uninstall.
