Just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean that people aren't after you.

Well for me, I've deleted the sprint apps, voicemail, ect. Though I did keep the sprint connections, to supposedly automatically connect to the best network. Deleting some of the integrated kies apps i know i won't use. I can manage my own media on my own.

Though kies air was pretty slick, letting you browse your content via a web browser. May keep that one.

The difference between the strong and weak willed is that the weak traverse with wounds covered up and hide when attacked, while the strong stride on with open hands and tears. Wounds bared open, and will continue to go on, even when broken at their core

Yeah, a list in the OP would be nice.

You can add ChatOn to the list, just with the caveat that it will freeze the phone for a few seconds while its service dies. After it dies that once, you should see no more problems with it.

How do I get rid of the app icons in the app drawer that I took off using system app remover? Even though I uninstalled them they are still in my app drawer and if I click it says applicationnot installed
