[APKs] Complete List: What's Safe & Unsafe to Remove - HTC Droid DNA

Ok I have seen a lot of people start asking about what is safe to remove and what does what. I usually like to have a very lean ROM and I delete anything and everything I don't use. It's easier to see a list and know what you want to delete BEFORE you flash the ROM instead of doing this AFTER you flash.
Ways to remove APKs
1. The easiest way is to download the ROM of your choice to your PC (when they start rolling in that is) and open the ROM with 7zip and manually delete them from the ROM. Then place ROM on sdcard and flash.
2. Boot into recovery, mount /system and use ADB commands to delete the APKs (Ex: rm /system/app/Aluminum.apk)
3. When we achieve S-OFF, use root explorer to manually delete APKs out of /system/app
4. Using the touch recovery, there is a built in file manager. Use that to delete the files (I have not tried this, others have mentioned doing this)
5. Use a flashable zip that removes the files. (you will need to edit the script inside to your liking) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012388
I have put together the stock list of APKs that can be found in /system/app for the HTC Droid DNA **There are corresponding .ODEX files that you will need to delete as well. I did not list them as they go hand in hand with the APK

I did that my first go around as well. Then I found out that even though we are unlocked, we still cannot write or modify anything in the /system partition while the phone is on.
I actually deleted these by mounting /system in recovery through ADB. Others I have seen use some file manager in TWP recovery to delete the files
You can make a flashable ZIP to delete the files as well

At this time with S-On you cannot remove these apks with a file manager. It can only be done in the recovery. Some people have been using the built in file manager in twrp revocery, or just freezing them with TiBu. There is a flashable zip found here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012388 You can edit the zip file to your needs with Notepad++ :good:

That is because you cannot make perm changes to /system until we get s-off.
The best way to remove these for now, is when you download a Rom to your pc, open up the zip with 7-zip(or equivelant), navigate to /system/apps, and delete the apps you want to, then close the zip. Import zip to phone, flash.

I'm going with the DNA myself, I've had bad luck on the hardware/build quality side of Samsung's phone products lately.
Now all I need is lots of moolah!

I know its a big job, but how fard did you get on this?
I'm wondering what UDOVE.APK is, and why it can't be removed or disabled other than by rooting.

---

Yea, it's a big job. I only have time to work on it when I'm at work.
I cannot find anything about udove.apk anywhere. the only place I see UDove.apk is under Settings > Battery > Usage > Android System .. So i'm guessing it is needed for the phone. Just not exactly sure for what.
If anyone else knows what some of these APKs are and what they do, feel free to chime in. I'll update OP as well. Thanks

UDove.apk is a HTC app that gives them feedback, you see this when you are on a custom rom and flashed a mod for example. You'll get a message that says there was an unusual reboot or something like that. Hope i helped you.

this is an awesome post my phone seems so much faster its amazing thank you

I can't figure out how to get the system apps folder to show up in TWRP. I was able to remove an app from the data apps folder.
Anyone know why I can't get there?

How come the above is not true for the HTC One X?
I have a One X without S-Off and was able to modify /system with stock ROM and Kernel......Only rooted....

HELP please....
Dear all, i'm a very newbie on android phone and i live in Indonesia... i've ever used android phone (motorola photon 4g) but i am only using the phone, and never do things like rooting, change ROM or anything like that because i don't understand it at all.
Now i'm using Droid DNA, bought from someone in Indonesia, with condition :
1. rooted (I check it w/ root checker app)
2. seems like still using the stock rom (i don't know for sure)
3. injected with Indonesia's CDMA cell operator smartfren (and just change it to Esia cell operator 2 days ago)
Problem:
1. For the CDMA network, all works fine. but when i switch to GSM (with Telkomsel or AXIS operator's simcard) i only can make a phone call n SMS. the mobile data won't connect, it says "disconnected because service unavailable". actually i have used those SIM card for my photon and it works fine for the mobile data (internet and for wifi hotspot / tethering). I already trying modify the APN parameter following instruction from the official website of both of the operators, but still the mobile data won't connect at all. Can anyone help?
2. Starting from my will to make this droid dna have more internal memory space, i've deleted files considered verizon's bloatware from "website tutorial" (i forgot from which), but before that i have backed up with titanium backup app. then came up problems with the phone after i deleted several app from that "tutorial". I've tried to restore from the titanium backup app, but there's still problem stays :
a. when i try to enter the menu Settings>storage came up "unfortunately the process com.android.settings has stopped" or "unfortunately, Settings has stopped" only opted to click ok then go to the home screen.
b. when entering the Gallery, only shows photos taken before i deleted the bloatware. all photos n videos taken after, don't show up at all. also all application that uses the Gallery, like Camera & whatsapp, only show those files taken before "it" happens.
c. from the titanium backup app, it only shows only 10 or less application (actually it shoud be more than 30 i guess if i look on the titanium backup folder using x-plore file manager app for android)
d. if i connect it to pc, the HTC Sync app says no HTC device detected (it's detected before). on windows explorer, the phone is detected but i can only view files before i deleted the bloatware, and i can't do any file copy paste to the phone's internal memory.
it can be noted that, all files exist after i deleted the bloatware (photos, videos, file document like excel word pdf that i downloaded) are shown with Quickpic app, android file manager app like x-plore, astro, ES file explorer and i can delete, copy or move all the files within the phone's internal memory.
Can anyone help please, especially the second point, because now i can't backed up my phone to PC and can't added files for example copying Papago's files for navigation that i have downloaded via PC. i need to back it up so i can delete those files in the phone memory so i can have more space for taken any new photos videos or document.
thanks before.
Regards,
