Yes, go to Settings, Applications, check the apps you don't need and select uninstall. No it won't void, if you do factory reset the apps will came back.

like widgets? such as "apmobiles", seems to be a newspaper sort of thing i will never read. i also can't uninstall social/music/gaming/book hubs? i'm in the setting/applications/manage applications bit.
i want to basically delete a LOT of apps then only install what I need? i'm new to smartphones, moved from a nokia keypad phone. so the galaxy s2 was a massive jump for me.
Have a search for titanium backup and root. You'll need to root your phone 1st before you can 'freeze' but not remove apps.
The phone is brand new and it will take a while before custom roms that let you remove apps are available.
If I were you I'd wait before rooting as it is still a bit complicated and simpler methods will come along soon, I'm sure. I'd use the time to read the guides and get familiar with the phone.
Bear in mind that rooting/custom roms will lose you your warranty. Also, I'm not too worried about app removal as the phone has plenty of memory for my needs. Just remove the apps you don't want from the home screen and put on the ones that you do.
Edit: just wanted to clarify that I was referring to removing pre - installed apps.

Thanks for that, it's that I also noticed that there are services running in the background from applications that I'm not using, like I have the apmobile service running and also a social hub service running even neither is open. And I at least want to remove app shortcuts from the menu.
You'll need to root and freeze to remove the shortcut from the app drawer. I really wouldn't do that until you've read up and are confident though.
There are other threads about the social hub, have a search. I think you'll need to reset the phone and then not add any accounts if you want to stop it from being active.

To add-up about removing the widgets (probably you've found it already though), you only need to hold down the widget and slide it down to an area says remove
this phone comes with a built in task manager and a widget that shows you active tasks, i use the widget on my phone's desktop to close apps as needed ( i know the phone can handle it but its just my own thing lol ) and from there, there's a tab that lets you uninstall apps as well.
ofcourse you wont be able to uninstall those that came with the phone just yet.
I rooted mine which was dead easy and was my first time so you'll be fine. Download AntTek app manager from the market its free and lets you freeze, delete and backup any apps and widgets you want. You will no longer have any of those crap apps working in the background draining your battery. Hope this helps.
Edit: Oh yeah the built in task manager doesn't show system apps working in the background or at least not all so well worth freezing or removing them.
I have been using my GT7510 for a couple months now and seem to find a new use for it a couple times a week. The more I learn, the more I recognize that I there is a lot of stuff that I don't yet understand. With that statement in mind, I am hopeful that someone can answer a few questions for me.
1 When I explore the apps that I have installed, some are labeled "system apps", some are not. What is the difference? Can I safely delete system apps? If so, how can I tell which apps can be safely deleted. For example, I have a WIFI-only Tab. Will the world come to an end if I get rid of apps that appear to be phone related?
2 Some apps, when viewed in SuperManager have a label that says they are "movable". What does that mean and is there any benefit to moving these apps. If so, where should they me moved? Why should they be kept where they are?
3 As most new users probably do, I have downloaded a bunch of apps, many of which duplicate the features of other apps. I would like to tidy things up a bit and remove redundant apps, especially those which are seldom used. I tried doing that today with the "Videos" app from Google. I have another video player that I prefer. When I attempted to remove this app, I was given the message saying that the app would be replaced with "the factory version". Does anyone know what this means? I did not remove this app. What would happen if I did?
I have a bunch more of these kinds of questions but maybe it is best to stop at this point and address the others in another post. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out.

System apps are the ones which we can't remove unless we have root access.
Deleting system apps should be done only if you know the exact use of that app.

Movable apps means the ones which can be moved to the SD card, so that the phone memory(internal) can be left free. This is useful when you have less internal memory(like phones). But in case of the Tab, we have more than 13 GB as internal memory. so this is not actually useful for us.

Videos from Google is a system app. You can't delete it unless you are rooted. Only thing you can do (if you are unrooted) is that you can uninstall the updates which got installed after you got the Tab. So only you are getting the message that it revert back to the factory version.

I kept reading that if you buy the g nexus, you have the option to delete any factory apps that you don't want. But i can't figure out how to delete g. maps or google+ on my nexus. & every time i disable them they start running again. How can i delete them? btw my phone is not rooted, but i have flashed updates ect.

the only way to remove system apps is you have to be rooted, unless, like you said that the g nexus you can. If you decide to root your phone you can use titanium backup app from the market to delete google apps and other stock apps that come with the phone. Also You can use any file manager like Es or astro and manually go to system/app and delete what you want. Hope this helps
Just be sure you are cautious about what you choose to delete as for myself recently i used Titanium Backup Pro to delete several system apps and i deleted the ability to go into my "Accounts & Sync" settings panel anytime i pressed accounts it would reboot my phone so i was never able to change sync options or add accounts! Until i flashed 2.3.5
hey guys,
i have install the new software made by hashcode...
but i do not need the amazon stuff, so i would like to uninstall all the apps and system files i do not need any more...
for example, i uninstallt the amazon app store, but i do not know if or with apps i can delite....
and i do not like the check time bevor my kindle starts....
so what can i do? and what app are very important for the system?
just have a look in the auto start manager or in the file device-->system-->app....
thank you verry much and sorry for my english
hans
I would also be interested in this. You can see that the stock software has a lot of apps installed that aren't visible from the Apps screen, and some of them are surely useless (like all the update services, parental controls etc.). So it would be nice if there was a list of what all of those apps are for and whether it's safe to remove them (and how to remove them in the first place).
Hello guys,
I have a Redmi 3 phone and I would like to know which bloatware apps I can disable or add to quarantine through "App Quarantine"
If you could do me a favour and post a list it would be really helpful. Thanks a lot!
