This thread is meant to serve as a compilation from the community of what .apk files can be removed safely without causing issues on your phone.
Currently these apps have been removed by the recovery exploit in Titanium Backup or Frozen in Titanium Backup:
Since we have full root now, just remove using whatever method you'd like

Script to remove files - MUST BE RUN EACH REBOOT DUE TO TEMP ROOT - Provided by bcnice20.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6316939/scripts/removal-tool.sh
the first link is the actual script look at it for a list of what all is deleted..
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6316939/scripts/scripter.json
place this on the root of your sdcard then download scripter from the market. Go to settings then click import scripts from sdcard. It will automatically load this script into scripter then you can simply go back click on the script and run it to remove everything
ps. the recovery exploit isnt implemented gotta look into tht but its an easy way of getting rid of everything quickly without having to delete each manually!!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To remove via recovery exploit use the following steps. (PLEASE NOTE THIS REMOVES THE FILE COMPLETELY FROM YOUR SYSTEM)
1. Open Titanium backup (if you don't have it download it here and PRO key here)
2. Click Backup/Restore and a full list of installed apps should show up (if not, post for some help)
3. Long press on whatever app you are looking to remove and scroll to the bottom of the new pop up.
4. Click Force remove app (by recovery exploit) and receive a prompt with a warning and thanks to Paul O'Brien for discovering the exploit.
5. Click Yes
6. Phone will reboot and flash a black screen with a red question mark for a short time, then reboot again.
7. After fully rebooted, you will find your app gone. METHOD NOT VALID ANYMORE DUE TO ROOT METHODS
Suggestion from cloverdave:
cloverdale said:
Also, if one does not want to go through the hours of removing the apps via titanium (I recommend just doing it though, as they never come back) just rename benice's script to visionary.sh, place it in /data/local, then check the option to run visionary.sh at boot in visionary. Then, at each reboot the script will autorun and you will never again see the apps.

Footprints
when I removed these it pissed off the phone.
Its best to remove known sprint bloatware. This is the third time I've ruu after I started deleting stuff that "seemed" unnecessary. One time I got stuck in a registration loop. That sucked.
I have removed Sprint Zone, NFL, Nascar, Peep, Footprints, Mp3, Stocks, including their widgets and have no issues whatsoever. I use the FriendStream widget and have had no FC's at all.
I haven't removed it yet, but I'm sure the Kindle app is safe also.
When I run titanium backup, it does not list a single dang up for backup\restore etc. And it passes the root check. I am using visionary. Am I just a dolt and clueless as to how to use the app?

Do you have the view filtered? Hit search.
Sprint Voicemail is safe to remove, btw.
EDIT: Mail and Sprint Hotspot are also fine to remove.
Hey Guys,
Ok, so the "filter" section has "all" checked, right now the line. Also my sd card is not mounted. The only thing I see when I click on the backup/restore tab is..
Application widgets
Accounts
Bluetooth Pairings
Country language timezone
Wi-Fi access points.
I am sure that it's glaringly obvious...

Sorry but how do I get it to install busybox? I already have it installed from visionary root. Just to check if it was working, I was able to do su in terminal mode.

Will the script utilize the recovery exploit? For otherwise it would have to be run with each reboot.
And you can add the htc keyboard to the list of removable apps.

I want to add that if you updated the voicemail app, you need to also uninstall the update via settings-> manage applications, otherwise it will remain.

Great. I will definitely put this in the OP and use it too! Glad this is starting to pick up a bit.
I'm Shifting on 4G.
I have removed the sense desktop with no issues.
Also safe: sprint updater, kindle, and htc mobile guide.

Hi! There's a way to clean periodically dalvik-cache, for example, when the phone is shutting down!?
I want to clean it periodically, or each sunday, 7 days... i dont know, only to keep clean the dalvik-cache...
Tnx for the answer!
Just be a flashaholic like me and always wipe data and caches
But there's a way to do it when the phone is running??
No one can help me??

You can wipe it from the terminal:
Code:
$ su
# cd /
# find / -name dalvik-cache
# cd /data/dalvik-cache # That's where it is on my phone
# rm *
# exit
$ exit
Instructions I've read say to reboot. The phone will rebuild the Dalvik cache which will take a while.
I dunno what happens if you don't reboot.
Greetings!
I have tried some ROMs -Ace I SCAPE, REINCARNATION, simplicity v5- and kernels -bieltv 3.0 for cm7, rafael 201211201515- but no matter what, after a few reboots my launcher -that is in the internal memory- and link2SD -that is in the internal memory too- just disappear, I don't know how could I track this since is not consistent -is like after 8-11 reboots-.
I don't have a clue of how to prevent this or what could be triggering it.
PS: Everytime I tried any of the above ROMs with their Kernels, I got back to the stock in ODIN 3.07 then did a fresh clean installation.
Logcat says it all
Try re-creating the case scenario, then using a PC, connect your phone (make sure to enable USB Debugging after the flash) and open a command line (Start->Run->cmd.exe if on windows)
Once open, try the instructions on this thread and upload the logcat here, try to make it as short as possible, I suggest you prepare it all before taking the logcat and once you find the issue, immediately do logcat
Good luck!

Right after the bug right? Because I wasn't sure if the logcat would explain why is after some reboots and not in the first one.
I'll be updating this post as it happens -usually is "conviently" when I finish installing all of my previous apps, then after 8-10 boots happens-.

it's a possible way, but note that it's useless after a reboot lol so it has to be right before you install your apps

I installed some apps to see if because I'm installing too many of them are making the phone to cause this -not quite sure if link2SD is working properly-. I had 140 apps before the upgrade -before switching between/roms kernels-, the reason why I upgrade was that I couldn't upgrade from the store the installed apps -it always told me I was running out of memory-.
Anyways, I have tried these days to recrate the scenario , one of the random reboots -when suddenly a message telling Link2SD was not responding- my launcher got out again, when I tried to logcat this by rebooting it worked again
But my whatsapp was gone
Here's the logcat available at paste bin of what I think are the problems:
http://pastebin.com/3jMNX7LV
If needed, I upload the whole thing in box:
https://app.box.com/s/i66rfop429c0wgwldqv4
Anyways I attach the logcat in pastebin
PS: I have read that VFY is missing / replacing in the logcat, for what I have read here
Could be superuser got messed up while flashing the cm7 kernel?

Try reflashing... Although the issues I've experienced with Link2SD are usually related to /data/ partition getting full when having too many apps..
If after reflashing, installing Link2SD and linking your apps again you still have issues, download Link2SD again from the Play store, you could also try the following after installing Link2SD and linking your apps: connect your phone to a PC and use adb shell, while the phone boots, once shell is up, do:
Code:
su
cd /data/
ls (make sure here that you have an sdext2 directory, if not, it means Link2SD is not installed properly)
cd sdext2
ls (make sure that you have a dalvik-cache directory in this place, if not, start Link2SD for a
cd /data/dalvik-cache/
for file in data*
do
if [! -h $file] (we make sure it's not a symlink already, you don't want looping links!!!)
cp $file /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache/
rm $file
ln -s /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache/$file $file
fi
done
try that without the text in the parenthesis lol
hope that helps, it could help anyone with space issues in /data/!!

Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then")
I thought maybe it was an if, but yeah, isn't a "then" missing for the "if [! -h $file]" that we typed before?

Oh ok, done
For what I can understand everything is supposed to be linked right? hence this is shown "! not found"?
But I'm still not getting why randomly the SSlauncher is not working in some reboots -and when this happens my link2SD gets vanished too and the message low storage is shown-.
Should I make this everytime that happens? -if it happens again?-

you shouldn't need to do it every time, mainly when you install new apps, alternatively, you can check the apps' data directories to see which one is consuming a lot of space, you can do that by issuing the commands below:
Code:
su
cd /data/data
du -hc
that should tell you how much space every dir is using (I think, lol)
PS: HIGHLY IMPORTANT!!! You should no longer link dalvik-cache via link2sd with this, or you might experience Force Closes due to the apps' dalvik cache being missing, and I say being missing because if you link a dalvik-cache file that's already linked, Link2SD might move the link and overwrite the physical file, and you'll have a symlink loop
Anyone tried it?
I mean, can I use my old data.img with this release?
Cheers...
Thx...

I did. I cleared some stuff from data.img though - not sure what's needed - as is sorta stalls.
From [email protected]
Code:
rm /data/dalvik-cache/ [to remove dalvik-cache; it would probably be auto cleared anyway]
cd /data/data
for line in `ls | grep [b]com.android[/b]`; do rm -rf $line; done
for line in `ls | grep [b]jide[/b]`; do rm -rf $line; done
[this should clear data from stock android and jide apps]
It's probably just 1/a few app causing the stall; but clearing the above shouldn't do any real harm.
EDIT: Oh and you might need to disable setupwizard [I don't think it's a dirty flash issue though]; I'd try to go through setup maybe twice; if it errors and blackscreens; then if needed run pm disable com.jide.setupwizard to circumvent it.
