I got rid of the stock e-mail app. Something about having that app in my app drawer despite NEVER using it always drove me crazy on my OG Droid, so after flashing a ROM it was always my first thing to delete. (I'm talking the e-mail app, not the gmail app)

EmailGoogle.apk it is, although I only renamed the file extension w/Root Explorer, didn't actually delete it yet. Going to wait for a full recovery option before going that route

NEVER delete an app from the system folder without a backup. OTA updates check for these files before they run, and they will not complete without them, no matter how stupid the app.

Instead rename the app by adding an extension such as program.apk.no and android will ignore it. It's really dumb to delete things forever.

You can also pull the apps to your computer using adb first.

Exactly what I did!

EmailGoogle.apk ---> EmailGoogle.apk.bak

App gone, but file there for later

I just move them to sdcard. But I also have the system dump if needed.
