so im a bit uunsure about this -- after doing some light work to my x10 it runs amazing ------ i rooted (using the 0.2.6 flashtool), busyboxd, xrecoveryd, and purchased root explorer. then i read through a few safe to remove app lists, and moved an assortment including everything Timescape, and most other 'useless' ones to a folder i created on my SD card called 'deleted backups'
i want to try an ota update check, (because i want the official dual touch) and i figured it might be a good idea to restore these apps to avoid any issues... after putting them all carefully back where i got them in root explorer, and a reboot i cant find timescape or any of the other restored apps in the menu..their in the right folder according to root managed and astro.. am i doing something wrong or missing something?
now if i go to titanium, all the apps i first moved over to the sd card.. arent accessible for backup or freeze or uninstall...
what did i do? lol
I like that you can remove stuff like AT&T Navigator without even rooting, just from the Manage Applications screen. But the manage applications screen has over 200 items in it. What can I remove safely? And is there even more bloat that the manage apps screen doesn't show, stuff that only titanium backup or a root explorer would show?
I have some idea of what I'm doing. Sort of lol
Through the settings app, you can only remove applications under the downloaded tab. With root, you could do more, but risk bricking your device.
If you have the itch to remove software, get out the thread about freezing them with Titanium Backup (with root).
Wasn't it possible to remove a lot of crap from the Captivate?
Check the development section. There are two relevant sticky posts. Root but remove nothing use Titanium backup to Freeze certain apps only.

Here and here, specifically.
just finished rooting my phone.
I do not know how to delete bloatware or other things i don't really need.
do i need to download an app or something to do this?
also, what other apps should i download now that i am rooted?
Download Root Explorer. It's a file manager that will allow you access to the system files/structure. It will also allow you to delete any system apps that you don't want (they're under system/app).
But first, get Titanium Backup so you can backup your phone, apps, data and settings. You can also remove the system apps with TiBu, I just recommend having Root Explorer regardless.
And be careful about what you remove. Some apps are necessary for system functionality. I'd suggest looking at the info for one of the third-party roms like Cognition and follow the list of apps they removed in their roms to get a good idea of what you're safe to delete.
I'd also like to recommend Titanium Backup as well. I'd also advise getting the Pro version and Freezing anything you're not 100% certain you can safely delete. Either way, do a full backup of all apps first before you remove them as you never know what you might want/need down the road.
systemappremover is also a viable option
There's a Google Doc of what is and is not safe to remove... may want to have a read:

I want to create a simple rom. What are the applications that will not affect operation of the system? applications can be deleted.
Hi all,

Thanks,
