is there any app left on device

---

Granted you may WANT some of those things installed. I removed 80% of those listed. My phone was at roughly 12gb free.
Hit the THANKS!

---

It is a good list, be careful what you remove.
For instance:
Clockpackage.apk will remove the stock Alarm function.
Hearingdro.apk will remove Adapt Sound.

---

How about the my verizon, vz navigator and other verizon crud?

I didn't freeze anything I deleted it all. If you aren't 100% sure what the app does, I suggest you freeze it. Most of them, by name, are pretty clear what it is.

---

i never "delete" anything. I move the files to a folder on my sdcard called, Bloatware Apps this way i know where i can find them if i need them for whatever reason.
would be nice if somebody gathered a list of bloatware apps and a small description next to each line of what the app actually does.

I use ES file manager to copy all the apks to my SD card because it let's you multiple select apps instead of doing it one by one. Then I delete them once they have been copied. Sometimes ES file manager doesn't work for deleting so I use root explorer to delete

---

thanks for the quick reply i'll give it a go.

Check the Android Development section, there should be a thread stuck to the top with instructions on rooting. Just read them carefully and ask questions if you're confused about anything. Also be forewarned, it will void your warranty and Verizon will not be supportive.

Contacts FC problem
I have looked around for a bit now and cant find anything but my contacts app will now force close everytime I click on a contact to open. I can scroll through the list just fine, it is just when I click on one to open. Does anyone know what other processes the contact relies on as I have frozen a few things but so far just what was on the safe lists that I have found?
