Deletable Stock-Applications

[basti84]

Tired of low memory? Some smart brains "built" this nice List! (c) freakysands
Some System Apps won't increase your free User-Apps-Storage but will decrease background-usage/more ram/lower batteryconsumption etc.

Warning: Do it at you own risk! Don't blame me for accidentaly bricking your ChaCha! Backup first before uninstalling!!

What you need?

> Root / SU
> Uninstall-App for System-&Userapps

I use "Root Uninstall"-App --> https://market.android.com/details?...EsImNvbS5nc2FwcC5hbmRyb2lkLnBmdW5pbnN0YWxsIl0 - this App offers a Backup-Solution "before" deleting!

Can't take Screenshots
Can't use the "Search" Button under the Screen in the Home-Screen (InApp it works)

 

[Alex C.]

If anyone could provide a list of full stock rom apps I can name some of the "safe to remove" apps.

 

[basti84]

Just a list with all the applications that Titanium shows, on a freshly flashed stock rom.

[seanw712]

Great! But my market doesn't work

Hi Guys,

I removed all of the apps on the green list and some of the apps on the "carefully remove list".
But now the market doesn't seem to work anymore... I open it and run into an error, I tried rebooting and clearing cache. Can anyone tell me which apps I should "reïnstall"? I have a backup.

 

[basti84]

perhaps you could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394871

 

[Alex C.]

Or even better:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Gapps#Google_Apps

Download, place on your SD card, boot into recovery, flash .zip from SD card.
20110828 version, latest.

 

[Henry2005]

You can delete MarketUpdater.apk - Market will not update anymore, but installed version worked.
You can delete Stk.apk if you don't use your Mobile network operator menu.

 

[paramaribo]

How can you restore removed apks? I want to restore some apks but didnt make a backup. Anyone has a fresh original stock rom? Or is there a other solution.

 

[loboaureo]

First of all, lot of thanks, this thread has a lot of use (at least for me)

PicoTts.apk
TtsService.apk

In the samsung galaxy spica i alwais delete this 2 apk. The use is for the text to speech service (the mobile reads your text).

 

[munishjoshi]

how much space we will get after delete these applications....?my phone is rooted & having 75 mb space after install around 20 applications...

I have delete only facebook related apk & reassign the fb button with update facebook.apk from market using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318839

but there no much diffrence in internal memory..its same as 70 mb...need help

 

[Alex C.]

No space. These are applications that take up the system reserved space, which you are unable to see in the normal settings -> applications screen.
