[Q] Safe bloatware to remove

[bowtieduece]

Hi I have an A100 that I just picked up and rooted, seeing how this section is more developed I was wondering if you guys can tell me what apps can be removed. Without having a custom recovery Im being super cautious. Thanks

Before removing any sort of bloatware I would suggest creating a recovery image in case something goes wrong. The last thing you want to do is brick your device and not have a backup you can restore to.

If done properly, there should be quite a bit you can remove. I remember removing bloat off of my A500, until I found ROMS like Lightspeed that basically removed all the bloat already. I would check the dev section for Lightspeed and see what apps have been removed from it to give you a better idea of what could be removed.

There is no recovery for the A100, otherwise I would. I don't plan on removing them completely just changing .apk to .bak in root explorer. Ive also made a backup of the system with Titanium backup

Any 3rd party app which isnt google related you can remove.
Anything further than that isnt really necessary since the other apks are so small in size. Unless you see something eating up ram that youre curious about than just give me the app name and Ill tell you weather you should be able to or not. I dont know the complete list of what can or cant be removed but I know the andriod OS well enough to have an idea of the things you definately need. Ive also done a lot of trial and error on both my phone and tablet lol.

Also, i suggest using titanium backup to freeze the apps and run the phone a few days to make sure you dont get any issues.

Just when I modify any bloatware it could lead to problems when taking updates
