Removing Stock Apps?

[welshkid]

There are some bundled apps with the phone that aren't un-installable, what would be the best way to remove them?

Root and remove from /system at a guess.
Doesn't even look as though it'd need the boot loader unlocking!

Root your Phone and just freeze the Apps with Titanium Backup.

You can easily Root without unlocking your Bootloader with bin4rys method.

I uninstall system apps after rooting with Titanium Backup Pro - just select the app and choose un install (always an Idea to do a backup of the app first in case other apps depend on it) . Not sure if the free version of TB can do the uninstall though.

I've used TB Pro for ages to strip all the bloatware that comes with stock firmware.

Thanks for the help guys, I rooted using Binary's method and then used the free version of Titanium backup to remove some of the bloat.

Anyone found all the different locations of all the different bloat-and-crap-ware?

If one of the knowledgeable members could compile a list and folder location of what is all safe to remove and what not, it would be awesome!

So far came across, 'root/etc/product/applications'

• EnchantedForest.apk
• magicbox-ea.apk
• mcafeesuite.apk
• neoreader.apk
• officesuite.apk
• playnowclientarvato.apk
• psmplaceholdereu.apk
• SemcSnpStore.apk
• smartcontacts.apk
• sonyqriocitymusic.apk
• trackid.apk
• wisepilot.apk

EDIT: This is not a list of recommended apps to remove. Its a compilation of all apps found under this specific location.

I usually freeze them with Titanium.

Not to steal the thread, but I am curious WisePilot. Seems to have good reviews, but I am not sure I want to fork over $ for nav. Anyone used it that can comment? Also, as a business user, there's an app on your list that I NEED

Sorry, if you misunderstood my post. I haven't made any recommendations of what to keep or delete. Just a list of apps found in that location.
