I usually delete the following items...
DSPmanager "free's quite a bit of memory"
GenieWiget "since the buttons in the status bar do it all anyway"
Google quick search bar.
But i'm sure there's more i could get rid of.
What else can we remove without destroying stability?
i always delete this items in .zip before flashing minicm. of course, you can delete those apps if you have already flashed rom. just use: a) titanium backup and delete them there, OR b) use root explorer and navigate to system/apps and remove unwanted apps.
androidian - 4MB - useless theme for me, which even isnt ldpi
applicationsProvider - Fetches the list of applications installed on the phone to provide search suggestions.
browser - 320 kb - really bad browser, i use dolphin browser hd
calculator - i use realcalc
cmstats
cmupdatenotify
cmwallpapers - 2,5MB
cyanbread - 3,6 MB also useless theme
dspmanager - always drains battery in background, and i really havent see any difference in playing music with it
email -1,5 MB - there are better alternatives
file manager - i use rootexplorer
gallery - use quickpic app instead, it's amazing and super fast
htmlviewer
latinime - 13 MB - i dont use this keyboard, its really too hard to use it on our devices, when you delete it, automatically is used standard multitap sony keyboard
livewallpapers - 3,8 MB if you dont use them you can delete this too
livewallpaperspicker
orangehaze - 1,7 MB - also, i don't use this theme
pacman - i think that this app asks you which gapps you want to install on first boot
picotts - text to speech
protips - that annoying android guy what is providing you tips on first boot after flashing
userdictionary provider - needeed for latin ime
quicksearchbox 1,0 MB - i also dont use this, on mini pro, when opening keyboard on launcher, that search box launches.
soundrecorder - also, i use different apps for this purpose
voice dial
voice search
vpn services
there are more apps that can safely be removed, this is just my standard 'setup'.
at start, rom was about 90,5 MB in size, and after removing this apps got to 66,9 MB.
look my system free memory ^^

thanks for this thread. I use to delete some things, and always wonder about the ones that I don't need. Now, I know
Hi people!as i said in a previous post I'm really happy with this thread because my phone is now better than ever. But i was wondering one thing. Do you think it would be possible to delete adw launcher if u have other launcher? I'm using Zeam launcher...,Has anyone tried? Now titanium backup says i have 65 mb of free Ram, if it was possible it would be even more! Haha madness for freedom of Ram...

Of course!I didn't see it from that point. Thx man, but how could i install in system? Could u help me? in the meanwhile, if i don't do factory reset i won't have trouble booting with only zeam, will I? In that case if I need factory reset i could reflash the ROM and adw and the whole stuff would be there, don't u think? however i think I'm going to try because I've deleted three more things i couldn't find before like androidian and cyanbread themes, and Latinime and i reached 85mb of free ram according to titanium backup
However if u could answer my questions i would appreciate it
Hi people! I think I've reached my maximum! I've deleted everything mentioned here, in Pedrocell optimal configuration thread and everything i thought wasn't dangerous ;-) like adw launcher having other launcher installed in inside memory, useless themes mentioned here, cm notifications, cm stats, pro tips, setup wizard (which is only used the first time u run the ROM)... I suggest u to see everything u have going through the copy restore menu of titanium backup and carefully uninstall all u won't need... This is my result! ;-)

Ive deleted all of that stuff and I have the same free mem 85mb and to get zeam into system/app u have to download zeam from a diffrent source than the market I cant post links because of xdas rules then with root explorer copy and paste zeam to system/app then change permissions to 755 wich is tick all the boxes on left hand side and on top line tick the middle one then exit then reboot
BUT before u delete adw make sure it boots proplery with zeam installed just to be on the safe side hope this helps ya pal ;-)

Thx mate! But i could not wait and i tried different way which works perfectly, it boots well and i would say faster... I uninstalled zeam after coping it with titanium,i went to cm settings, apps, unticked allow move apps, ticked install in inside memory, ran titanium and restored zeam.later i uninstall adw, rebooted my phone and everything is ok! ;-) anyway thx a lot for your help... Now our phone is a missile! and I'm using Swype beta again because i love it but it consumed too much ram, Now it doesn't matter any more! And fruit ninja and other games are running really smooth, and all the phone in general...
Don't give me an iPhone,i keep my mini!
I'm wondering what are some apps and mods to the TFP you can't live without, or increase it's use-a-ability. Just got mine back up, and besides watching movies on it, what are some other suggestions you guys have?
You finally received your LCD from China? Excellent!
Hopefully no issues in replacing - I know we've both posted much on that topic. (hopefully no dust, fingerprints, or debris on your LCD after re-assembly.)
Here's my short list of must-have apps:
Amazon Appstore (for obvious reasons)
WiFi Analyzer
MoboPlayer or MX Player
Netflix (very worth the low monthly subscription cost)
DropBox (worth signing up for -- 2GB is free -- no hassles, no unsolicited email from the DropBox folks)
Cheers,
-JG
Hmm, let's see:
BS Player (the best out there by a mile, trust me, download subtitles automatically, windowed player, works like a charm)
Total commander, with LAN plugin (duh)
XBMC (beta works great, no problems for me)
BitTorrent
Chrome (ofc)
Dropbox (got 50 gigs with Note II)
.
.
.
I'll post if i think of something else.
GMD Gesture control, SwiftKey Tablet, Nova Launcher and Lagfix are on my list.

Friendcaster Pro (the best Facebook app)
Greader Pro
MightyText for Tablets
TW Cable
AdAway
ICS keyboard - the JB keyboard built into Androwook is glichy and ICS keyboard allows me to type my usual speed (home row)
GMD Gesture Control - multi touch gestures on such big screen are simply awesome and makes multi tasking and launching apps much faster (and you can turn off status bar to get more space)
Wallpaper Wizardrii - wallpaper stays in one place with default launcher so I can use favorite wallpapers from PC
AdAway - for obvious reasons
CIFS Manager - mounting windows shares, so any app see them as regular directories (you don't have to copy movies for example)
Chrome - currently best browser for tablets imo
PC Monitor - turning off PC remotely.
Does anyone have a list of all the apps that you can only find in the Samsung Apps store? It would be good to maintain a list of exclusive apps that aren't available on Google Play.
So far I only know of one...
Pen Pilot
I gladiator
Beeline (another great spen game)
Extra Samsung apps etc

S Baro - Official Samsung Barometer for your phone.
Screen Rotation Control - Allows you to rotate apps as you see fit. Allows you to rotate apps that do not normally support Landscape mode.
Application Monitor - Just adds a widget to give you your currently running apps on the home screen.
When you first open the Samsung Apps, slide to the Left, then click either "Apps for Galaxy" or "Best S Pen Apps" to see a unique collection of apps.
They are all ****.
