After flashing regular MiniCM9 there are only left ~11 MB in the System ROM internal memory, so I wanted to free up some space. Other thing that I had in mind is that android is running many background apps that I don't use. And by removing them, there is also freeing up some RAM.
Before starting anything make CWM backup.
You can use one of the 3 methods to remove unwanted apps:
a) in windows, you can open downloaded MiniCM9-3.0.XXX.zip with WinRar or 7zip and remove unwanted apps in system/app folder. After that move modified MiniCM9-3.0.XXX.zip to sdcard and flash via CWM,
b) using a Titanium Backup app and delete them there, OR
c) use Root Explorer app and navigate to system/app and remove unwanted apps.
I always delete following apps that I don't use. Browse the list, and delete ones that suits you:
ApplicationsProvider.apk - Provides the list of installed apps to Play. Fetches the list of applications installed on the phone to provide search suggestions.
Browser.apk - There are better alternatives such as Opera or Boat Browser
CMUpdateNotify.apk - I am really often on xda and checking nAa's updates, so i don't need update notifications on my phone. i always delete this to save extra 2,3 MB of RAM (sorry nAa )
DSPManager.apk - As stated multiple times across forums, it often drains battery, runs in background, using 3-5 MB, and i can't really see any difference in playing music with/without it. There are better fixes for audio. Search for paul-xxx audio fix for ics.
Email.apk - i dont use pop mail accounts so i always delete this. But if you are using pop mail, there are better alternatives like K-9.
Exchange.apk - Email transport system. If you dont use email.apk it is safe to remove this.
FileManager.apk - I use RootExplorer as alternative.
Galaxy4.apk - This is one of ICS Live wallpapers, and i really doubt that anyone is using them on our phones, remove this!
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk - Another one!
LatinIME.apk - On screen keyboard. You can remove this if you don't use qwerty software keyboard. I found it bit difficult to use it on our small screens, so feel free do delete it if you don't use it.
LiveWallpapers.apk - This really don't need further explanations..
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk - same here...
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk - again...
NoiseField.apk - this is a bubble Live Wallpaper.
PhaseBeam.apk - again live wallpaper
PicoTts.apk - Text To Speech, remove it if you don't use it.
QuickSearchBox.apk - Google Search Box that can be placed in homescreens, i really don't use this.
SpeechRecorder.apk
Stk.apk - SIM Tool Kit
Trebuchet.apk - Pretty slow and bloated launcher. If you really want ICS look, use Apex Launcher Instead. But if you want fastest performance and lowest memory usage i recommend LauncherPro which is by far smoothest and fastest launcher out there. Too bad it is bit outdated.
UserDictionaryProvider.apk - Dictionary for word prediction on keyboards. Needeed for LatinIME.apk. Do not remove this if you are using software qwerty keyboard (LatinIme.apk)
VoiceDialer.apk - I don't use this.
VpnDialogs.apk - I don't use vpn
SoundRecorder.apk
There are more apps that can be safely removed, this is just my standard 'setup'. At start, rom was ~108 MB in size, and after removing this apps got to 93 MB.
Eventually I will update this post, with Gapps removable applications and their descriptions.
Feel free to post your feedback.
Thank you!
thanks mate. i must add about dps manager is that it is used by apollo to tune the music.but hell i dont use it in anyway so i deleted it as well.
you forgot to add geniewidget
Some of the optional removes (depends on user). I dont use and I always delete them.
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk and the one associated with syncing your browser (i think ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk) if you dont use account sync option. I always backup my data locally and hence I always remove these. BTW these also run in the background always
Market Updater (you may not be able to update market app automatically. For me thats OK)
My Uploads (always runs in background)
downloads.apk
Calculator.apk if you use a different calculator.
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
talk.apk
Most of these apps are from gapps and most of them always run in background
I also remove default android keyboard as I always use swype

that shouldn't be related to any of this apk-s removed. i have removed listed ones, and much more, and i'm not having this problem.
first try to clear market data, and if that doesn't help, try flashing gapps again, and if that fails too, try flashing original minicm9 again (your data will be saved)
Thanks! I deleted a lot of things, but I can't delete DSP Manager! I deleted it before, but today I installed the "notification bar fix" to ICS and it reinstalled DSP and some other applications alone...

what "notification bar fix" are you referring to?
if it flashes those unwanted .apk-s you can again delete them from system/app with root explorer.
Google Feedback.apk can be deleted too
CM9 byNaA/XDA Premium
Use Link2SD
The best way to safely remove system applications is to use Link2SD.
I've been using that since a year; never had a problem. You can batch uninstall, move to SD card, clear cache, freeze, sort, etc.
One of the best apps available on Play Store and its free!

I'm using MiniCM9 and I uninstalled DSP Manager successfully once, but I had to use the "Make It Faster" by roobeyn because the phone hangs sometimes and that helps. Unfortunately that fix make your notification bar disappear and you have to use the "StatusbarOriginalFix". After all, it installed DSP again and I can't uninstall!
I tried with root uninstaller, SManager ads and with File Manager. The Only option I have is to "force close".
Sorry for my bad english.
I recommend install the TouchPal after erase the keyboard

hm, did you actually read my first post? have you tried deleting it with root explorer?

Hi,
Finally sony released ics 4.0.4 and i updated my MT15a .Usually i store some of my contacts in Phone Contacts (not under my gmail account)
After update every thing was fine. Then i rooted the phone and used root explorer and "SystemCleanup APP" to remove junk apps. the apps that i removed are :
Semcsnpstore.apk , JapaneseIME.apk Weatherwidget.apk updatecenter.apk , EventStreamPlugintweeter.apk , EventStreamPluginFacebook.apk , FBsetupwiz.apk, YoutubePlugin.apk , YoutubeKaraokePlugin.apk , wikipediaPlugin.apk , ChineseTextinput.apk , mcafeesecuritysuite.apk , storefront.apk , officesuite.apk , facebook.apk (and all FB**.apk,all Facebook related) , TeltraONE app, talkback.apk , Sonyqirocitymusic.apk , POBoxsknwood.apk , PoBoxsknpink.apk , and UEFA App.
Click to expand...

i copied all the apk files before removing them.
i should say , first i removed a few apps with root explorer, everything was fine. after removing other apps with "SystemCleaup" and making Google music a system app and reboot , Suddenly the contacts doesn't show anything that stored in phone memory.Other contacts in my gmail accounts are ok!
I flashed the ftf file again Without wiping anything , but even that didn't solve the problem.
I tried exDialer (+exContacts) and it shows all the contacts (in Phone memory and Gamil account) , but stock contacts app can't do it!
I know i could solve this by reinstalling the ROM with Wiping everything (or a complete repair by SUS), but i prefer not to.
Does anyone have any idea? or how could i solve this problem?
Hi,
I repaired the phone with sus and everything is ok now. it seems that i messed up something when i was removing packages.
Currently rooted and Junk Apps Removed (this time i was much more careful) and everything is OK!
Contacts>Filter>Phone Contacts-check "All contacts"
Do the same for all other services that you have (facebook, yahoo, gmail etc)

MIUI is known for it's bloatware and there are some of us who want the best of both worlds, a simple ROM with good looks.... so here comes Titanium Backup (or any other Root Uninstaller app) to the rescue! I've tested deleting all these apps and used the ROM for quite some time without any FCs or bugs. This is the list on MIUI v6 5.1.9 (9th January 2015 Update).

only? when i used miui, i used to delete much more stuff.. tomorrow if I'll have a miui zip in front of me will post all the apk's i used to delete
as promised, this is the list of apps I used to delete when I was using miui V6 (I always manually delete the apk's from /system/app or /system/priv-app with a root file manager, namely ES File Manager, rather then freezing apps with titanium app or similar)
of course this is safe here, but some of the following may be useful for someone, so be sure what the following apks are for, before deleting them Btw in case of any problems, you can always extract the apk's you deleted from the miui zip, put them back in system/app or system/priv-app folders, correct permissions, and reboot.. easy )

If you have the root, you can also delete the browser app and the launcher without any problems
If someone updates to Miui v7 will face system advertisements in miui Music and some others apps. it is quite annoying
You are save to remove it. Follow this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-190513-1-1.html
It is safe to remove SystemAdSolution.apk file, clear cache. Reboot
Now, no more advertisement in miui music
I don't know why xiaomi try to push global users with the force to see their advertisements. May be they can earn something from that way. ?!
Analytics and MIUI SDK
You can also remove com.miui.analytics. It's also useless. The system Calculator app is also useless and has very less features. You can use another app instead. You can freeze MIUI SDK too if it has too much data. But DO NOT uninstall Miui SDK.
If you have a root browser, you can simply delete the /data/miui/app folder to get more space in internal memory. Don't worry as it has just the apks of pre-installed apps, not their data. Deleting them will not even uninstall those apps as their apks are in /data/app folder too.

Which device are you using?
Also tell the miui version. I hope it's not MIUI 7.2.3.0 - bloatware list for that is a little different because some important system apps are dependent on bloatware!!!
Did you also remove any app other than those specified in your quote?

I don't know much about the MIUI China ROM. I am using the Global ROM. After updating to this ROM, I uninstalled the following apps using Link2SD. Then using ES File Explorer, I removed the .odex files of uninstalled apps. Then rebooted to recovery, and just cleaned the /cache partition.
Assuming, that you are also not using Mi account, this is the list of apps I have removed (uninstalled) which were in my /system/app folder :-
*Analytics (AnalyticsCore.apk) - can be removed or you can disable the WakeupService.
*ANTHalService - (used for fitness accessories)
*Basic daydreams (BasicDreams.apk)
*BugReport - optional (keep it otherwise, you can't see the summary if any app stops unexpectedly)
*Calculator
*Mi Cloud (CloudService.apk)
*Email
*Black Hole (Galaxy4.apk) - live wallpaper
*Holo Spiral - live wallpaper
*Android Live Wallpaper (LiveWallpapers.apk)
*Magic Smoke - live wallpaper
*Uniplay service (MiLinkService.apk) - maybe required for Wi-Fi display connection
*Noise Field - live wallpaper
*Phase Beam - live wallpaper
*Photo screensavers (PhotoTable.apk)
*PicoTTS - text to speech engine
*Battery Saver (PowerKeeper.apk)
*Security Service Plugin (SecurityAdd.apk)
*SystemAdSolution
*XiaomiAccount (IMPORTANT: This app is required when Android boots for the first time. So if you have removed/disabled this app after you have finished setting up Android for the first time, do not factory reset or erase /data till this app is installed again.)
*Xiaomi Services Framework - DO NOT REMOVE (otherwise Phone app gets stuck in crash-loop)
/system/priv-app removed apps :-
*Cloud Backup (for apps backup to Mi account)
*Find Device - required by Mi account app (same instructions are applicable as for XiaomiAccount app above )
*mipub - purpose is unknown, removed it
*YellowPage - DO NOT REMOVE (otherwise you cannot open contact details in Contacts and Dialer app)
It is recommended that you flash the update as-it-is, then uninstall apps using Link2SD, then clean up the dalvik-cache from Link2SD and reboot phone. Then you can also delete .odex files of removed apps in /system/app and /system/priv-app folder using ES File Explorer and also delete /data/miui/app folder.
If you have some other apps in China ROM, please give the list of installed system apps and system priv-apps.

Thanks for your valuable response, I will try it for sure. You told "it is recommended to flash update as-it-is" which update? Do I need to flash something before doing it.
Please verify the steps I have to perform-
1. Using link2sd Uninstall listed apps
2. Then go to system/app in es Explorer and delete. odex file of uninstalled apps
3. Clear cache and dalvik cache by link2sd.
4. Clear Cache and dalvik cache in recovery and reboot.
I need to sign off MI account if I am using before performing these steps.
Correct me if any step I missed or messed..

No. You have gone a bit wrong.
"By 'update flashing', I meant the ROM update.zip file as it is available for download from the MI website without any apk file deleted. I just mentioned it because you said that you already tried deleting apks from the update before flashing."
The jist of the above quoted text is that : You need to have the untampered ROM to be installed on the device, that is, one in which no system APK has been removed or no system app has been uninstalled.
If you have already signed up for an Mi Account and want it to be active on your device, you must not remove the following apps.
Mi Cloud (CloudService.apk)
Mi Account (XiaomiAccount.apk)
Find device
Cloud backup - Removal of CloudBackup will stop apps from being backed up to Mi Cloud
After clearing dalvik-cache in Link2SD, you just have to clear cache in recovery, NOT the dalvik-cache again.
Aren't you using this latest MIUI China ROM?

I haven't tried MIUI 8. But maybe I can help. Check all these things :-
1. Delete unwanted apks from /system/app and /system/priv-app along with the .odex files.
2. See if any unwanted apks are also present in /data/app. Some Xiaomi and Google apps are also located in /data/miui/app which are installed after selecting phone locale. However you can delete this folder before to prevent the unwanted installation.
3. DON'T delete *XiaomiAccount.apk otherwise you can't complete phone setup.
4. When phone boots for the first time after flashing ROM, don't provide internet access. First complete the setup and check if any removed apps are installed again and then connect to internet to add accounts, .etc. because I had once noticed that missing apps are automatically downloaded and installed in the background by some hidden app in the system.
If above steps don't work, I have another tough method.
Hello all,
Is it safe to remove system/app that has been updated to data/app?
for example gmail old version in system/app has been updated and went to data/app folder.

Yes, and no !!! Yes you can remove it, but it must be replaced with an app that can send and receive email from a gmail account. It must be installed before you delete the old gmail app. Remember your device syncs everything (i.e. data, contacts, setup etc. ) through your gmail account.

thanks for the info. The reason I'm asking is I'm showing that i have 135mb free in system rom. All stock apps has been updated since then.And is sitting in data/app Maybe if i delete them in system/app, i can reclaim the space.

Interesting, I still run NC5 4.4.2 ( waiting android 5.0 ) the "Gmail2.apk" is in system/app. That app has my gmail account that I sync with. Or are you talking about SecEmail_J .apk which is used to some how update apps affected by emails, sounds weird I know. To understand why I say this is simple, if you delete the magazines.apk you end up with an error message " Unfortunately Email has stopped working " when you clear out the email . What one, has to do with the other, I don't know ( but I will look into it again maybe I can find an answer ). However, if you delete Magazines.apk and then install Aquamail.apk then delete SecEmail_J.apk and .odex files you don't have a error message. I had to go back to my thread here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770729 it's in post #7.

Ok, did some more testing. Back when NC5 4.4.2 came out " GMAIL " only allowed your Google Gmail sync account to run on it. So, that's why I needed Aqua Mail app to run email accounts not Google or Gmail, and had to delete SecEmail_J.apk to stop the "Unfortunately Email has stopped" error. Now Gmail.apk has updated to Gmail2.apk and the new version of Gmail2 allows a non-Google email account to run on it.
So, I moved my non-Google email accounts from Aqua Mail to Gmail2 than deleted Aqua Mail app and of course the SecEmail_J.apk and .odex files where already deleted. All is running well. Hope this helps !!!!
Hey everyone!
I just installed eRobot ROM v8.6 (thanks to dev) to my N910C Note4, I just customize it with deleting unnecessary apps in /system/app & /system/priv-app using a script. The ROM works perfect, and I can open any messaging app such as the stock or Textra, but the problem is all of them (whether stock or 3rd Party messaging app) crashes when I try to open any SMS, so I think there is a system app I deleted by mistake that read SMS, but I don't know its name to install it again! so can anyone tell me the dependencies of the messaging app? so I know which system app I deleted it by mistake
Thanks!
Regards,
addas
It would be easier to look at the script and see what it deletes.
