how about we start with a list of all the app? those of us w/o the EVO yet can give some general suggestion on universal android apps which can be removed.
from adb shell or connectbot localhost

ls -l /system/app/*.apk && ls -l /system/app/*.odex

Not sure how to remove these apps since /system is protected. Even when I remount as r/w and try rename/delete the APK, it comes back.
Software Engineer working on Android at Google. In my spare time, I hack on projects like [APP][2.1+] StandOut - Create Floating Apps.

do it from recovery mode. in recovery mode, because of the userdebug RUU - PC36IMG.zip. we have write access to /system and root access.

it wont work in normal system mode until we can bypass NAND protection.

@joeykrim: How would you like the listing. It's rather long and I fear it would take up way too much space inline in this forum.

Sorry for the timestamps. I have Windows at work. Anyway, most of the apps are safe to remove and self explanatory. Most of them. Not all. I will post a more detailed post if I get a chance but don't remove anything that you don't know what it does.

Rosie is the Sense shell so if you remove that it will leave with you the normal launcher (which I prefer anyway). Also don't remove IRQD.apk or something like that. Also Remember to backup your files before removing any! Very important. Just do an adb pull /system/app/filename before you remove it.

This is for the Sprint Hero but it's a good place to start.

Use the pull command from adb. Anyone want to just make a batch file to pull them all at once?
