I want it as clean as possible!
It is safe to close them to a degree if you plan on using them, i wouldnt. Also i would leave the weather alone if you use the htc widget clock with weather.
Please hit the thank you button if i helped!
I found this link that explains what most of the built in apps do, and if it is safe to remove them. This is from CyanogenMod but should be applicable also to most ROMs or custom ROMs.

Anyone know how to get the new facebook update installed on the Flyer?
Andrew
nobody?
Why can I not uninstall the facebook app from the tablet, nor find the facebook app on marketplace? This is one of those pre-installed things that are locked down? Thus will it only get updates via htc?

Everything that is pre-installed on the ROM is protected from being uninstalled. Only way around this is with root, which has not yet been achieved for this device.
As far as why the Facebook app is not in the Market, the permissions on the app include reading phone state and access to SMS/MMS. For the WiFi-only version of the Flyer, it appears that any apps that require permissions related to phone functions are not listed (since the tablet does not have those features).
Doesn't help you, but seeing the same issue on a 3G Flyer based in the UK.
Facebook v1.5.4 is installed on my Flyer (not sure if this was pre-installed, or done by linking my Flyer to the same Google account as my DHD). No opportunity to upgrade it however to 1.6 as it's not listed in the Market.
No way to install the Facebook standalone app
Check out this HTC's Flyer FAQ.
------
"What’s the difference between Facebook app and Facebook for HTC Sense?"
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone app. It is integrated in People, Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their status updates, shared links, and photos) in these apps.
The Facebook app is a standalone app. Use this app to do most of the things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s web browser to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and sending Facebook messages.
The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook app and vice versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login credentials.
Note: If you have more than one Facebook account, you may sign in to the Facebook app using your second account, since the Facebook app does not share the same login credentials as Facebook for HTC Sense.
-----
Since HTC Flyer/Evo View's Facebook app is integrated in People, Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar, I don't think there's a way to install Facebook standalone app separately.

Anyone else have an issue with the HTC Calendar Widget since T-Mobile's latest update for the Amaze?
Previously it used to show me events for things like my friends birthdays using the information from Facebook. Noticed today that it wasn't showing my my friend's birthday. Seems like it just no longer displays that information. Just me or everyone have this issue now with HTC's Calendar Widget?
I've even removed it from the Home screen, and re-added it. During the re-add I confirmed that Facebook was checked/selected still as one of the sources it should get data from.

Mine is displaying just fine.
Are you talking about calendar 1, 2 or 3?
I am using 1.
HTC Calendar Widget version 3.0.2118282653.140764
HTC Calendar version 3.02120283257.184156
View Mode 3/3 (small bar).
Set on first Home screen under the Clock/Weather Widget.
I've force stopped both of the above apps and done a clear data with no luck.
If I go to 'Settings|Account and Sync|Facebook' and then click 'Sync Calendar' to try and force it to Sync it ends up with a Red Exclamation Mark and the text "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Same appears for 'Live Feed'.
The dates for both the last Calendar Sync and Last Live Feed sync to Facebook show as Mon, Dec 12 2:07PM which is a bit before the phone got upgraded to 1.43.531.3 from T-Mobile over the air.
I've also tried rebooting the phone and have even pulled the battery.
EDIT: Solution Found.
Found this via some posts on the net related to syncing Facebook contacts but appears to have worked for calendar as well.
1). from a PC, Logon to Facebook, hit dropdown on right of screen and select 'Account Settings'
2). Click Apps, then remove permissions for HTC Sense
3). On the Phone, Go to 'Settings|Applications|Manage Applications|All'
4). Find "Facebook for HTC Sense" and click it.
5). Force Stop, then Clear Cache if available, then Clear Data
6). Hold Power on the phone and select "Restart"
7). When the phone boots back up you'll have to authorize Facebook for HTC Sense again and then it will work.
Everything is good now. Calendar, Live Feed, and Contacts are all syncing now (before only Contacts were syncing).
Coming from Runnymede AIO V6 on my Desire and really liked the stock HTC Weather Clock Widget in 4x1. Does anyone know how to port just that widget to say, NRG's 2.27.12 ROM? Attached are screenshots of the widget and the details for it if that helps.
Cheers.

Figured out it is a Sense 3.5 option. Switched ROM's to Xboarder's Sense 3.5 RC1.7 and it is in there.

I've cleaned up a little bit my Player after obtaining root privileges, this thread will help you if you want to do the same.
So, below is the list of the stock apps of my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 that I've freezed using Gemini App Manager (see attached apk, it is a free app).
Disabling those apps is good for me, but may not be good for you. The reson for this is that I don't use social services and don't own a google account, I try to use free software and avoid proprietary ones (as much as it is possible), I will try to warn in parentheses if you may need the app, but not when the name of the app says for itself (e.g. YouTube), just keep them if you use them.
For the open source and free apps I would greatly recommend the F-Droid repository, enable Unknown sources in your settings, install the F-Droid apk and use that app for obtaining free software. You can also add the Guardian Project's F-Droid repository into F-Droid's repositories list to have more nice apps.
I would recommend not to immediately remove the apps that you don't need, freeze them, let some time to pass, then you can remove them if everything is OK. Here is my list of the freezed apps:

Also got 3rd party email app AquaMail that can do with 2 free accounts or paid for widget & more accounts.
I have encountered a problem on several different android phones. calendars are disappearing if I install+uninstall the Google Calendar App (the official one)
Steps to reproduce:
install some calendar app (i.e. Business calendar)
install Google Calendar
make sure that your google calendars are shown correctly in both apps.
uninstall google calendar
Now the calendars have disappeared from the other calendar app and there is no way to add them again (they are not showing up in the list).
I have seen the problem on Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Note3, Nexus4+5, HTC One
Installing the Google calendar app again makes it possible to first re-enable the calendars in Google Calendar app and then they are again possible to add in the other calendar apps.
Is there a way to fix this without having to have the google calendar app installed (dont want it installed as it is a huge BatteryHog using 30-40% of my battery for "StartingAlarmService").

And finally I found a working solution myself (of cause only after posting my question here after a lot of testing).
The simple fix (for others with the problem) is:
- go into setting-> applications manager -> all
- Find Calendar Storage
- clear cache+data and force stop
- wait a few minutes as the service will resync calendar data.
Now the calendars are available again
Thanks so much
Thanks man it helped me after some searching
