This thread is meant to serve as a compilation from the community of what .apk files can be removed safely without causing issues on your phone.
Currently these apps have been removed by the recovery exploit in Titanium Backup or Frozen in Titanium Backup:
Since we have full root now, just remove using whatever method you'd like

Script to remove files - MUST BE RUN EACH REBOOT DUE TO TEMP ROOT - Provided by bcnice20.

the first link is the actual script look at it for a list of what all is deleted..
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6316939/scripts/scripter.json
place this on the root of your sdcard then download scripter from the market. Go to settings then click import scripts from sdcard. It will automatically load this script into scripter then you can simply go back click on the script and run it to remove everything
ps. the recovery exploit isnt implemented gotta look into tht but its an easy way of getting rid of everything quickly without having to delete each manually!!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To remove via recovery exploit use the following steps. (PLEASE NOTE THIS REMOVES THE FILE COMPLETELY FROM YOUR SYSTEM)
1. Open Titanium backup (if you don't have it download it here and PRO key here)
2. Click Backup/Restore and a full list of installed apps should show up (if not, post for some help)
3. Long press on whatever app you are looking to remove and scroll to the bottom of the new pop up.
4. Click Force remove app (by recovery exploit) and receive a prompt with a warning and thanks to Paul O'Brien for discovering the exploit.
5. Click Yes
6. Phone will reboot and flash a black screen with a red question mark for a short time, then reboot again.
7. After fully rebooted, you will find your app gone. METHOD NOT VALID ANYMORE DUE TO ROOT METHODS
Suggestion from cloverdave:
cloverdale said:
Also, if one does not want to go through the hours of removing the apps via titanium (I recommend just doing it though, as they never come back) just rename benice's script to visionary.sh, place it in /data/local, then check the option to run visionary.sh at boot in visionary. Then, at each reboot the script will autorun and you will never again see the apps.

Footprints
when I removed these it pissed off the phone.
Its best to remove known sprint bloatware. This is the third time I've ruu after I started deleting stuff that "seemed" unnecessary. One time I got stuck in a registration loop. That sucked.
I have removed Sprint Zone, NFL, Nascar, Peep, Footprints, Mp3, Stocks, including their widgets and have no issues whatsoever. I use the FriendStream widget and have had no FC's at all.
I haven't removed it yet, but I'm sure the Kindle app is safe also.
When I run titanium backup, it does not list a single dang up for backup\restore etc. And it passes the root check. I am using visionary. Am I just a dolt and clueless as to how to use the app?

Hey Guys,
Ok, so the "filter" section has "all" checked, right now the line. Also my sd card is not mounted. The only thing I see when I click on the backup/restore tab is..
Application widgets
Accounts
Bluetooth Pairings
Country language timezone
Wi-Fi access points.
I am sure that it's glaringly obvious...

Sorry but how do I get it to install busybox? I already have it installed from visionary root. Just to check if it was working, I was able to do su in terminal mode.

Will the script utilize the recovery exploit? For otherwise it would have to be run with each reboot.
And you can add the htc keyboard to the list of removable apps.

I want to add that if you updated the voicemail app, you need to also uninstall the update via settings-> manage applications, otherwise it will remain.

Great. I will definitely put this in the OP and use it too! Glad this is starting to pick up a bit.

Who can help me with the syntax of the command touch?
Using the touch command as follows:
touch -d "01/01/2012 00:00:00" \ data \ data \ com.android.providers.telephony \ databases \ mmssms.db
the system outputs the following message:
unknow option - d etc ...
But Usage Command is:
touch [-c] [-d DATE] FILE [FILE]
BR
die-hard
Yeah, that's weird. It works as you typed it in a regular linux shell, but the busybox on my android gives me the same error. Might be a bug in busybox, or perhaps the date parser in the busybox version is less tolerant on the date format. It may be a config option as well. I know that date/time parsing is very "expensive" in libc and perhaps busybox just doesn't implement it by default.
10x bro,
I solved installing busybox 1.18.0 git
My busybox touch accepts dates in ISO format:
/ # touch -d '2011-1-1 23:1' x
/ # ls -l x
-rw-rw-rw- root shell 0 2011-01-02 00:01 x

Hi
I have CM 10.1 with busybox 1.20.2-jb installed. Touch binary doenst have -d option:
Code:
1|[email protected]:/sdcard $ touch --h
touch --h
touch: usage: touch [-alm] [-t time_t] <file>
-t option only accept date in unix timestamp format, but default format ( [[[[cc]yy]MM]dd]hhmm[.ss] ) needed for me.
Can anybody provide touch binary with -d option support or with -t option, that accept date in this format: [[[[cc]yy]MM]dd]hhmm[.ss]?
Second question:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ awk 'BEGIN {print mktime("1970-01-01 00 00 00")}' <
-5454000
Why awk return -5454000 instead 0?
I tried update busybox to 1.21.0 version, it doesnt help.

Use the touch inside busybox, not the one that comes with the stock rom. Install Busybox from Stericson on your android device. It has also the -d option. You must run it as root, so check that you are superuser if using a script.
Code:
su
busybox touch -c -t YYYYMMDDHHMM[.ss] yourfile
hi,
i have the command working, but is it possible to keep the date and time of each file like "vid_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.mp4" to push it in the command for each file of the folder ?
Thanks.

I have found a command that working well but I should change the files one by one and I would like to find a command which is changing all videos files of a folder.
video name for example : vid_20170717_103251.mp4
need to extract date and time (in the name of the file) to put it in the command.

busybox touch -c -t 201707171032 *
and it changes all the files of the folder with the *...
I would like to extract the elements of the name from each file to give it its own date and time.

Ok to do that you need a shell (bash) script. For example this code will get the date in the format you want, now you just need to read it from files and change the timestamp accordingly.
Code:
echo vid_20110717_103251.mp4 | sed 's/vid_*//' | sed 's;.mp4*;;' | sed 's/_//'
Test it online here: http://www.learnshell.org/

ok thanks for your help, your code is well working
Is it possible to keep all without the seconds (last 2 digits before .mp4) ?
And after that it should put the result in the command 'busybox touch -c -t result name_of_the_file'
and how to repeat that for each file named 'vid_xxxx' ?
thanks a lot

Go to the folder of the vids with "cd /sdcard/DCIM/Videos" or the appropriate and then execute this:
Code:
for i in * ; do touch -c -t "$(echo $i | sed 's/vid_*//' | sed 's;.mp4*;;' | sed 's/_//' | sed 's/..$//')" "$i" ; done
Make sure that in that folder there are only files that have the same exact filename pattern.

in the folder there is img and videos but if i should put videos on a separate folder i can...
this code will do all i need ? (i think missing just "busybox" in the code)
extract the name of each file without seconds, put for each one the extraction in the command : busybox touch -c -t 201707181200 vid_20170718_120000.mp4 (for example of a file of today at 12 o'clock)

This code will alter only files starting with vid:
Code:
for i in vid* ; do touch -c -t "$(echo $i | sed 's/vid_*//' | sed 's;.mp4*;;' | sed 's/_//' | sed 's/..$//')" "$i" ; done
You can try with or without busybox first and see which one works for you.

thank you very much i will try this in an hour to send you the answer if it's working or not
are you a developper ? cause it seems very hard to know all that...
i have another question, is it possible to put 1 or 2 less than the hour because of GMT ?
201707172000 should be 201707171900...
the answer of the command (not working) is :
touch: invalid date 'VID20170717_2000'
repeat for all lines....
i think it keep too many characters.
characters keeped should be 201707172000 (without "VID" and without "_")
how to delete that from the echo ?
I want to make a simple little busybox or something script that i can run via script manger (desktop widget) to clear dalvik cache and restart. Also possibly clear all caches but just dalvik for now.
I just made this and it seems to work but is this good enough?
Code:
#!/system/bin/busybox
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*.*
reboot
Should work fine.
Just to make it safe I'd just add a "sync" before rebooting.
And force the use of the busybox rm which is not as limited as some of the default roms rm command.
Code:
#!/system/bin/busybox
/system/bin/busybox rm -f /data/dalvik-cache/*
sync
reboot

Hi guys. I've tried to make a cleaning dalvik-cache script.
It contain only:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*
Is it wrong?? Do i have to include something else??
Greetings!
I have tried some ROMs -Ace I SCAPE, REINCARNATION, simplicity v5- and kernels -bieltv 3.0 for cm7, rafael 201211201515- but no matter what, after a few reboots my launcher -that is in the internal memory- and link2SD -that is in the internal memory too- just disappear, I don't know how could I track this since is not consistent -is like after 8-11 reboots-.
I don't have a clue of how to prevent this or what could be triggering it.
PS: Everytime I tried any of the above ROMs with their Kernels, I got back to the stock in ODIN 3.07 then did a fresh clean installation.
Logcat says it all
Try re-creating the case scenario, then using a PC, connect your phone (make sure to enable USB Debugging after the flash) and open a command line (Start->Run->cmd.exe if on windows)
Once open, try the instructions on this thread and upload the logcat here, try to make it as short as possible, I suggest you prepare it all before taking the logcat and once you find the issue, immediately do logcat
Good luck!

Right after the bug right? Because I wasn't sure if the logcat would explain why is after some reboots and not in the first one.
I'll be updating this post as it happens -usually is "conviently" when I finish installing all of my previous apps, then after 8-10 boots happens-.

it's a possible way, but note that it's useless after a reboot lol so it has to be right before you install your apps

I installed some apps to see if because I'm installing too many of them are making the phone to cause this -not quite sure if link2SD is working properly-. I had 140 apps before the upgrade -before switching between/roms kernels-, the reason why I upgrade was that I couldn't upgrade from the store the installed apps -it always told me I was running out of memory-.
Anyways, I have tried these days to recrate the scenario , one of the random reboots -when suddenly a message telling Link2SD was not responding- my launcher got out again, when I tried to logcat this by rebooting it worked again
But my whatsapp was gone
Here's the logcat available at paste bin of what I think are the problems:

PS: I have read that VFY is missing / replacing in the logcat, for what I have read here
Could be superuser got messed up while flashing the cm7 kernel?

Try reflashing... Although the issues I've experienced with Link2SD are usually related to /data/ partition getting full when having too many apps..
If after reflashing, installing Link2SD and linking your apps again you still have issues, download Link2SD again from the Play store, you could also try the following after installing Link2SD and linking your apps: connect your phone to a PC and use adb shell, while the phone boots, once shell is up, do:
Code:
su
cd /data/

Yep, from the Play itself, just in case you're using some local/downloaded version lol, although I doubt it

Ok Thanks for remarking my bad, lol.
Ok I got the dalvik cache folder as you state, though I get an error when typing this line
> ln -s /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache/$file $file
ln -s /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache/$file $file
> fi
fi
Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then")
I thought maybe it was an if, but yeah, isn't a "then" missing for the "if [! -h $file]" that we typed before?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "some actions" is this a command?
This is how I typed it

Oh ok, done
For what I can understand everything is supposed to be linked right? hence this is shown "! not found"?
But I'm still not getting why randomly the SSlauncher is not working in some reboots -and when this happens my link2SD gets vanished too and the message low storage is shown-.
Should I make this everytime that happens? -if it happens again?-

you shouldn't need to do it every time, mainly when you install new apps, alternatively, you can check the apps' data directories to see which one is consuming a lot of space, you can do that by issuing the commands below:
Code:
su
cd /data/data
du -hc
that should tell you how much space every dir is using (I think, lol)
PS: HIGHLY IMPORTANT!!! You should no longer link dalvik-cache via link2sd with this, or you might experience Force Closes due to the apps' dalvik cache being missing, and I say being missing because if you link a dalvik-cache file that's already linked, Link2SD might move the link and overwrite the physical file, and you'll have a symlink loop
