Hi
Was just wondering if anyone has or can put together a list of apps that are safe to remove (EG), Verizon's crap and Samsung's crap. I was gonna use Titanium Backup. Can Titanium Backup remove all system apps, or are there only specific system apps it can remove? Thanks!
If someone has a spreadsheet or a TXT or Doc you can PM me too. Thanks!!
I am interested in this as well...got way too many apps disabled. I want them gone...just don't want to jack up my phone.
Questions go in Q&A
Development is sacred area for developers to post work
There are also already a few threads on this

It's difficult to match the names of the apk with the actual title of the app, which is how titanium backup lists apps.

Hi all,
I am relatively new to the android community, so I don't feel confident playing around with large parts of ROMs, however I am interested in trying to edit a ROM so that it has as many of my apps and things as default to save room.
Idealy I would like my ROM to:
-Have only the apps I want and need, so I have started stripping out some I don't
-Have my background of choice and no others
-Have a custom launcher (I am looking at LauncherPro, although i understand this only works on android 2.0 and above so cant intergrate this yet)
I am using the stock T-mobile 1.5 custom ROM uploaded by Paul onto Modaco as the ROM I am editing (Sorry I cannot post a link as this is my first post)
Once I have completed this project I would like to create a tutorial to help other people new to the Android scene, who, like me, don't have the knowledge or confidence to edit the ROM majorly.
My first step is remove the unwanted apps and replace them with the ones I do want. So my first question is what apps are vital to androids running that I wont be able to delete. Also, where can I get the .apks of the apps I want to add in?
Any other help in this project will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Aaron
well you can check the wiki for refrence but i due know that you can remove apps like google apps gmail email market market updater .... just remeber not to delete them like remove them and move them to a safe folder on your desk top in case you removed a vital app ok thats what i do

Thanx. I have a copy of the original ROM and the one im editing just in case. Is it just a case of trying it out to see if it works and what i can and cant delete then?
Thanx

more or less but its better to know what your removing so check this site shttp://source.android.com/

You have to be careful what you are removing and changing. Removing google talk basically dissables the market which I am not sure why but it does. THere are other apps that are linked that you would not think about. You also must know how to resign the rom zip file. There is an app here called autosign and it works pretty good. Its for themers but it works for moding a rom too. If you want to replace the launcher simply delete the launcher.apk and add in the one you want. The wallpaper backgrounds are usually in the launcher.apk unless you are using a sense rom. Sense uses Rosie.apk and the wallpapers are all in htc.widgetpicker.apk (i think thats what its called).
hi there,
just got my galxaxy tab 10.1v yesterday. and now i'm wondering how to find out in the market, which apps are written for honeycomb?
what i need is something like a filter-option, like with the ipad and the appstore. there the apps for the iphone and ipad are shown in different panes, and you can easily tell whether an app is for pad or phone.
thanks for your answers
Yes, a filter is definitely needed.
There is already a list of Honeycomb apps being built in this forum. It's pretty hard to miss - it's the thread right above yours

thanks for your answer.
i do know this thread above, and there's a similar one in xoom-forum, too.
but those threads need to be updated by xda-members, e.g. when they "randomly" discover an app. so if no xda-member is willing to update those threads, you'll never get to know the latest apps for your beloved tab
such a filter in the market would automatically show those apps.
If you sign-on in the market and you click on the App name it tells you in the application is compatible with your device.

Not even necessary. If it shows up in the Market, then it's compatible with your device (according to the developer). Non-compatible apps are not shown.
HC optimized is another story. What people really seem to want is a filter for tablet optimized (not just compatible) apps. But for reasons I've pointed out in another thread on the same topic this isn't likely to happen anytime soon.

Somebody should start a google docs spreadsheet and ppl can update it by themselves.
Digita1One was right. The best way to check compatibility for now is logging into your market account on your computer and click on the app name, on the left side right below the name of the app, it tells it's compatible with your tab or not. Just showing up in your market on your tab doesn't mean those apps are compatible. Hope this helps.

Actually, yes it does, when you're looking at the market from your device.

Actually, the market on my tab shows both Facebook and words with friends but then does not allow me to install them.

As I said in post #5, its up to the developer/publisher to code the compatibility of the apps in the market listing. Google doesn't police the market the way that Apple does. Most developers do a good job and mark their apps appropriately; a small number do not.
i got an inspire 4g running a sense rom called virtuous unity. i want to remove unneeded apks from my phone like, VoiceDialer.apk and Facebook.apk. which unneeded apks can i safely delete from my phone?
You can do a google search on each apk that your not sure about. Make sure you back up your phone first just in case you remove something you want to keep or you need. There are web sites that list all the apps on cm and tells what they are. I'm sure there is alot of info on your rom.

thanks.. if you can provide some links, i'd appreciate it.
Similar to what we had for the SGS I/II, I would like to have a comprehensive APK List for what we can delete safely and what we need to leave on.
Here is the link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AthriV78mnxQdE1lVzJOaE8tdmlJc1VjcUFydGhlc2c
It is shared, so we can edit to our needs.
You mean like this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634624
yep! ty!
Very good post mate and i totally agree when root is available many of us wil want to freeze the bloatware to get even batter battery life it would be great to have a spreadhseet to know what programs are safe to freeze (or remove but ill just freeze them in case)
Bumping this thread this needs to be made a sticky mods like the similar one on the SGSII forums.
Great idea OP, but your Google docs spreadsheet does not seem to be shared properly--it says I have to request access to the file .

Spreadsheet loads just fine here, I'm going to bookmark that for future reference, thanks!

We're sorry.
The spreadsheet at this URL could not be found. Make sure that you have the right URL and that the owner of the spreadsheet hasn't deleted it.

Will Google make a Note app?

Probably the closest you'll come for now is the Google Drive app.
There are a couple of apps on the market.
Are you looking to sync your notes?
There's always evernote
I personally just pull up a google doc file or if it's for a to-do list I use: Tasks Free by Team Tasks
They have a nice widget you can put up.
I don't know that google is currently in the works for making a note app.
yeah you'd think they'd have something simple like the touchwiz "memo" app as stock :-\
I use "Note Everything" (pro) mainly cos I like the checklist thing for my shopping lists

Using Tasks Free (theres a paid version as well) you can sync it with the tasks list in google calendar, you can make multiple lists as well.
I agree, I like the memo pad from touchwiz, too bad it didn't sync up with anything
HTC comes with a notes app. Maybe you can find it here in an APK form.
