Might make it more difficult to do an update. I just renamed the .apk's to .bak which has the same effect as deleting them.

I'm sure you can find the files you deleted somewhere when and if you need them.

When a new OTA comes out, you could just ask for a backup of the apks you deleted - then you'll be fine.

As snowblind64 said, it'll just make it more of a pain. I'd recommend using Titanium Backup in the future.

Noob question, but how are you removing the bloatware, or what application are you using to do so.

I just rooted my Droid 3!

Thanks guys.

Another good idea (if you're someone who might ever take an OTA - I wouldnt, just as soon as it's out the devs get it and make it better), but root explorer. Absolute must-have if rooted. Instead of deleting apks from system/app, just move them to a folder on sd card, so you have em if you need em later.

But OTA updates are bad. Let the devs fix em first.
