Thank you, sir. I don't know why the forum put all of the text together, even though I left spaces between the app name and description, but i edited it for clarity, if it'll make it easier to decipher.

Start with apps you can easily identify by the name or icon. Also, if an .apk file has a cooresponding .odex file, move/delete that as well. You may get constant force closes after removing an app if it is running at the time you removed it. Simply reboot your phone.

WARNING: Removing necessary system apps could cause serious problems. So, start small. If you have a question as to if you can remove a particular app or not, ask in this thread and I'll let you know.

I've tried to do this, and everytime I get an error message telling me I can't move or delete because the file is read only.

Did you change to r/w in root explorer, it defaults to r/o which won't let you make changes.

Wouldn't using Titanium Backup to uninstall the apps accomplish the same thing as using Root Explorer? Plus no FC's!

It's a matter of preference. Both will do fine.

I've never understood why people pay for Root Explorer. There's so many great free options to do the same tasks.

I like the ui better. But, to be honest, I've switched to rom toolbox. It does it all.

OK, I removed a boatload of bloatware using Root Explorer.
Still have a couple issues;

Even though I removed the .apk and corresponding .odex files, restarted phone, I still have these in apps, and all work when opened;

Facebook
IM
Verizon video
VCast tones


And, even though the Bing icon is out of apps, it still opens Bing Search with a long press on the search icon on phone.

Any thoughts on how to get rid of these?
I've went all thru Root explorer and can't find these files anywhere, but they're still on the phone.

Thanks
