Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the bloat/crap ware on this phone? Is there a list of items safely to remove or disable/freeze?
It can be done as of ICS. All of the non OS/System apps I don't want are disabled with no side effects.
System settings/Apps. Choose app, Force Stop, Clear Data and Disable.

just tried setCPU on my phone and Im wondering if all the settings/scaling changes will be gone after a reboot if I dont tick the "Set on Boot" option..
basically I want to undo all the changes that setCPU made before uninstalling it because some apps leave the changes even if uninstalled.
thanks guys.
Reinstalling the app is a quick way to do it. Or you can press menu and select "help." I think...I would just reinstall, it would be very quick

The idea of screen capture is kinda cool, but for me it's a nuisance I don't use intentionally. The times I accidently do it, it messes me up in the middle of something. How can I disable it? I want to make sure it won't screw up the camera or anything.

use titanium backup, go to backup/restore, scroll down to screencaptureservice (in red text), press and choose freeze. This disables it without uninstalling it.

I thought about that, but just wanted to make sure that's how to do it. Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is any app which can clean up the applications menu?
Or know an easy way to do this?
For example, I've removed some apps I don't use and its left blank spaces in the pages of the app menu.
I know I could tidy it up the long way by moving all the apps back a page but would be better if there was an easier way to do this that's not so time consuming!!
Any ideas?
Try Appzorter from the market.

Thanks that's worked a treat!
So today one of my apps disappeared from my home screen, and I noticed it had also disappeared from the app drawer. I also had some apps in a folder on my home screen, and deleted the folder, and now all those apps have disappeared. They are still installed on my phone, but the only way to open them seems to be to search for them in the market, and use the open button that it provides.
None of these apps are installed on my sd card, only internal storage. I'm completely stock, with the stock TW launcher.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix this? I have of course tried rebooting, and clearing the cache from these apps.
Thanks!
I've had the same thing happen to a couple different apps.
I'm on DaG's overclocked kernel, TPC Rom V2, and ADW EX Launcher.
My widgets keep doing that randomly

Theres gotta be some sort of cache somewhere that the app drawer uses to maintain a list of all of the installed applications. Gotta be some way to force it to rebuild it.
Or maybe not. I bet uninstalling and reinstalling the program would fix it.
Clear dalvik in recovery should work.

Will this effect anything else we should know about before doing it?
Does anyone know of a ROM, MOD, or app that allows the user to hide apps in the Sense app drawer? That's pretty much the only reason I use a third-party launcher, now that Sense 3.6 has folders...

Probably not the option you want, but if you never use an app you can "freeze" it using titanium backup and that will hide it from the drawer.
That's what I do with the stocks app and such. It let's me use sense and get rid/hide a few apps I never use.
Would be a cool mod if someone could make a selectable list for the app drawer. Hopefully Htc adds the functionality some day.

As far as I know, there is a file that controls what is seen in the tray but it's only read during the first boot after a rom install.
I believe the only way you can "hide" apps is by disabling them. You can do this by going into Settings>Apps and select whichever app you want to disable.
This will remove the apps from being seen in your app drawer and prevent them from being active.
