Ok... so I updated to 5.6.890 and re-rooted and than ran the bloat removal script for 5.6.890. I opted to remove everything optional. When I did this, my 3rd part calendar widget could no longer connect to my google calendar. When I ran this script before (5.5.959) I didn't have this problem. Did something change?
I have since removed the ".bak" extensions from the following files and my calendar now syncs again.
BlurCalendarProvider.apk
BlurCalendarProvider.odex
CalendarSync.apk
CalendarSync.odex
Would it make sense to have this as a separate option, or is there simply a better way to get my google calendar syncing back?

Does anyone else get a force close when going to Settings->Accounts ?
EDIT: After having run the script, that is.

Is there a way that we can choose which apps to uninstall with your script? I like a few of them like Messaging.apk and UniversalInbox.apk (wonderful working with mutiple email accounts), and Kindle.apk (so I don't have to reinstall it)? Like you did with Swype and Car Dock Voice Commands. I hope to keep CarDock (v1.0) app too. The apps that are most important for me are Messaging.apk, UniversalInbox.apk and CarDock (v1.0) and Car Dock Voice Commands.
Can you add Quickoffice (v3.3.49 - Motorola) to the list? I have Quickoffice Pro (v4.1.121) and it is silly to keep Quickoffice (v3.3.49 - Motorola).
Does v5.6.890 work with Droid X 4.5.602. Gingerbread? Does 4.5.602 have to be OTA or can it be TBH version of 4.5.602 (4.5.1_57_DX5-32)?

Sorry but I have to ask or I would never know but can anyone here able to make a script like this for the DROIDX2? That would be amazingly helpful for us if possible 
My hdmi stopped working as well, if anyone knows what's causing it I'd greatly appreciate the info.
Forgot to install another launcher before running the script, is there anyway I can install it now? I can receive phone calls, the screen on the phone turns on and off, but I can't access anything.
Edit: Just booted into Flashboot, ran RSD, re-rooted... etc. Works Great! Thanks!

operation not permitted
This script isnt working on my phone. Running it through script manager free, i choose "n" on all the y/n bloatware questions, and the program says:
" Working, please wait...
failed on 'MyVerizon.apk' - read only file system
reboot: operation not permitted"
My phone is rooted and i updated to the ota leak...so why am i getting these errors?

does freezing stuff in titanium backup conflict with this script???
the script didnt remove kindle so i was planing on freezing it.

Sounds like the system folder isn't chmodding to rw during the script perhaps. Silly question, did you root your phone first, is superuser installed?

Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
lol yes, superuser is installed...i used the one-click root method.
Brief history: rooted phone 3 weeks ago, unrooted this week, installed ota leak update, re-rooted phone again.
I guess I'm just going to have to remove the stuff manually using titanium backup. Anyone know of a good reliable list of bloatware thats safe to remove?

i think i may have figured this out, not really sure tho. i think SuggestionsServiceScheduler.apk.bak and SuggestoinsServiceScheduler.odex.bak are the problem. if anyone wants to help me confirm that would be cool. just rename them back to .apk and see if your hdmi works again.
if the script just does the same thing as titanium backup freezing, then can we defrost the changed apps through titanium???

I'd also been wondering if this would work on the X2? I totally agree, it'd be brilliant
and also the 890 script does not freeze or add the .bak to my amazon kindle. it still shows in my apps drawer and everything.
its not suppose to be removable, so its suppose to be in the systems/app correct?
but the script for 5.6.890 says that its moved to the data/apps
I just want to know where im suppose to put Kindle so I can get my OTA updates
then make a backup with bootstrap n clockwork so can delete it without worry
For some reason when i google serch for images the page loads without images, and i didnt forget to have the online setting checked to load page images

44There's been a lot of speculation on what can and can't be removed as well as how to remove them without causing force-closes, boot loops, and other headaches. So I wrote this script that will let you disable all of the bloat with none of the hassle.
After a few prompts to find out if there's anything you want to keep that can't be replaced in the market, it will do its magic -- renaming files to a .bak extension so they are no longer recognized by Android. This will cause some system services to fail and force-close loop until you reboot (and the script reboots for you). Also included is a script that will undo all of this.
If you select every option, including the default launcher and text messaging apps (which are confirmed safe to remove without losing SMS or MMS ability or push notifications), then here's the list of apps removed:
AdService.apk, android-syncservice-app.apk, ArcVideoEditorLite.apk, BackupAssistanceClient.apk, Blockbuster.apk, BlurHome2.apk, BlurSNMessagingEngine.apk, BlurTasks.apk, BlurUpdater_VZW.apk, BooksPhone.apk, CitrixReceiver.apk, CityID.apk, Conversations.apk, DLNA.apk, DlnaSystemService.apk, FriendFeed.apk, gotomeeting-stub-1.0.74.apk, GuidedTours.apk, HelpCenter.apk, IMPresence.apk, IndexingService.apk, Kindle.apk, MessagesWidget.apk, Messaging.apk, MOTOPRINT.apk, MSExchangeService.apk, MyVerizon.apk, NewBayVault_4.2.99.36.Market.apk, NFLMobile.apk, OnlineAlbum.apk, PhotoEditor.apk, PortalStandAlone.apk, Preloaded.apk, RichLocationVzW.apk, SkypeBourbon.apk, Slackerradio.apk, SocialMessaging.apk, SocialShare.apk, StatusWidget.apk, SuggestionsProvider.apk, SuggestionsRuleCheckerCore.apk, SuggestionsServiceScheduler.apk, Swype.apk, ToggleWidgets.apk, UniversalInbox.apk, Upgrader.apk, VCAST_TONES_4_5_7.apk, VCASTMusic.apk, VCASTVideo.apk, VSuiteApp.apk, vzw_vnav_DROID3_rel_PROD_signed.apk, VZWIM.apk, VZWInstaller.apk, WeatherWidget.apk, ZumoCast_1.0.17.apk
Make sure you run these scripts using Script Manager or a comparable app and be sure to enable it to run as root or it won't have permission to make changes to /system/app.
This is version 1 of the scripts -- if any of the apps removed wind up causing problems or more are found, I'll add it to the list. I've tested the scripts back and forth myself and have tested it as much as I can without finding any issues. Also, some apps are removed without asking, such as ZumoCast or VCAST or NFL Mobile. You can find these apps in the market, so there's no point keeping them locked down in system.
Enjoy! Comments are welcome.
UPDATE 9/1/2011: fixed a typo in one of the variables (thanks everyone who reported this), added more options to keep (Swype and Car Dock Voice Commands), split into two versions -- one for the stock 5.5.959 build and 5.6.890 update (late August OTA), added a warning about removing the home screen without a launcher and that it removes the Calendar widget.2
Confirmed. I had to reboot afterwards, but it's all fixed.
Also, HDMI out works with a DVI converter I bought too.1
You shouldn't delete them -- we don't have an SPF yet. Someone posted the complete /system/app contents and you could restore, technically, manually, but it's a bad idea. Renaming to a .bak is completely effective.
Read the post.
You'll want to use Script Manager -- unzip the two scripts to your SD card (internal or external), launch Script Manager (free version is fine), find the script and click it, then tick on 'root' and then run the script. Follow the prompts from there.1
Please read the thread thoroughly -- I'm going to ignore obvious questions like these.1
Sometimes you just gotta look to find information that isn't presented to you (also you can find your posts with about 2 clicks ).
1. On topic, unfortunately since the D3 isn't getting "official" ICS like the Bionic someone will have to adapt the script again since the D3's ICS is a custom ROM and already debloated.
2. You'd be best off finding the person who adapted it in the 1st place in the Bionic Dev section.
3. That or just use a custom Bionic ROM which is debloated 99% of the time OR use the provided list and freeze with TiBu.
