Default [Q] What is safe to remove from the Atrix?

I like that you can remove stuff like AT&T Navigator without even rooting, just from the Manage Applications screen. But the manage applications screen has over 200 items in it. What can I remove safely? And is there even more bloat that the manage apps screen doesn't show, stuff that only titanium backup or a root explorer would show?

I have some idea of what I'm doing. Sort of lol

Through the settings app, you can only remove applications under the downloaded tab. With root, you could do more, but risk bricking your device.

If you have the itch to remove software, get out the thread about freezing them with Titanium Backup (with root).

Wasn't it possible to remove a lot of crap from the Captivate?

Check the development section. There are two relevant sticky posts. Root but remove nothing use Titanium backup to Freeze certain apps only.
