Thanks to the Devs for the awesomely easy root process. The Tmo SGS2 is my first Android phone and this was my very first root experience. After reading the HOW TO thread, the screen shots below are what I've uninstalled/frozen thanks to Ti Backup Pro. What are you guys uninstalling and what kind of performance gains/battery boosts if any do you think you're seeing?

If you need any uninstalled apps back they should be in the system dump thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1300682

Thanks. For the record I don't notice any performance differences, maybe battery life today will investigate.

Can anybody make a list of the apps to delete? The actual file names, not the program names. (For use with Root Explorer).

Anyone know what app handles the 611 redirection ? Thought it would be 411 & more, but I got rid of that and 611 still redirects.

In case anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, try calling 611 (customer service) - the phone actually drops to another app that turns on the speaker and talks to you there - it's OBNOXIOUS.

I can try to give you a list of Apps from Titanium Backup, I removed a hell lot of apps, backing up my current configuration now so I have a backup of a bloatfree rom.
