Safely remove stock apps?

---

Is it safe to remove apps like the stock messagging / email apps? Maybe someone with any know-how could comprise a list of apps that can be removed without screwing the phone up. I know when I had my X10 some systems apps couldnt be touched or you would completely uker your phone.

systemappremover 3 does a nice job.
need root for it to work.
i uninstalled zing & copilot with it and it did a good job.
i also used adfree to get rid of advertisements.

Is using systemappremover the same as using root explorer and just deleting the .apk of the app you want removing? Or are there other parts to the app in other folders?

yes, some are installed allready and need to be uninstalled and the cache needs to be emptied.
