I'm thinking about removing 2 apps via Titanium Backup:
Qik Lite and Words with friends.

Now I already removed the YP (NOT YELLOW PAGES) and saw a second, different one (Yellow Pages 1.0) and I didn't uninstall it since it's tied to the rom. So in short:

Is it safe to uninstall Qik Lite, Yellow pages 1.0 (NOT YP) and Words Free (words with friends)

Is it safe to remove X app or Y app? since you're using titanium backup, the safest way to find out is to freeze the app instead of removing it (one at a time, so that if there's an issue, you know which it is). If you see any weird issues, then you can simply defrost the app. If there are no issues after significant use, then you can uninstall it completely, without fear of the OS needing it.

If you're looking for Stock TouchWiz without the extras, then I suggest I777UCMD8 cooked firmware.

Don't know about Qik Lite but Words with Friends is just a game, right?
There is no reason to have any problem after removing it.
