HC apps that are safe to remove - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I thought I would at least get this thread started. Now that I have all my apps installed again and complete backup of HC done, I am going to start "trimming the fat" from the rom. I will post the apps that I remove that don't cause problems. Everyone feel free to post yours as well.

I just froze them in TB. I am taking baby steps to make sure they are safe to remove, if after a few days I see know problems then I might delete them. At this point I have no shortage of space, no urgent need to make extraroom by deleting. Rather be safe than sorry.

I'm not so much concerned with space on the phone as much as space in my app drawer. Extra icons bother me.

Sense usually has a big problem when you remove some of those apps, so I hope that you made a titanium backup at the minimum. The apps I deleted I also have backups of, thus far, no problems.

No issues...I figured I could always reflash the. Custom ROM if I needed them back, but three days of heavy use and no issues...

Just a suggestion here, but could we perhaps condense these lists into the OP? If we keep on going like this we will have fractured lists with numerous duplicates
Also, thanks to all for this information!

@elaguila, hey man could you update the OP with these, separating which ones can be deleted with no issues and those that can be frozen? Thanks for starting this thread btw

Compiled list of HC Apps
OK, so I took the liberty of reviewing each post in this thread and compiling a list (seen below). I then went hunting for the actual APK names, but since I am still really green to the world of ROMs, rooting and such any assistance in confirming these are the correct APKs for what you have already frozen/deleted would be much appreciated.
I also have columns for Safe to Freeze and Safe to Delete; if you run into issues after performing either action send me a PM with the Item#, what action was taken (freeze/delete) and I will update the list. Also, if you have anything to add to the list, send me a PM with NEW APP and the APK name, and if you have it, whether it was safe to freeze or remove and I will add it to the list.

I realized that removing the calendar apk causes the notes app to fc. When creating a new note.

Thanks! Can you tell me if it was Calendar.apk or Calendar-Provider.apk? Once I know I'll update the list.
