Hello everyone, I've been playing with my defy on 2.51.1 blur for a while, trying to deblur it to the bone I removed a lot of stuff without messing with the standard phone operations like sms or mail sync, and I freed up almost 100mb of RAM.
Now I'm fine tuning my removal procedures but I'd like to start a sort of "mapping" of the remaining apps, in order to avoid renaming the wrong apk and finding myself with some broken funtions, which I'll probably discover in a month or so when I'll have forgot all my tweaks..
So here we are, the next list is the "non standard" apps I left untouched, mainly because I did not know what they do and cannot find any useful info online.
They may be "blur" or may not, so help identifying their usage would be good

Thank you all and sorry for the huge post.. hope it'll be useful to someone
just to clarify something, I know I left some blur apps in the "untouchable" list, but I did on purpose for different reasons. Sometimes an app is needed to properly use the contact list or send sms, sometime removing it made the phone really slow.. so I left them unrenamed
Well, as the APK's in the system/app folder differ depending on the ROM you use, this list might not be useful for all roms, but thanks for sharing, i hope this helped removing bloatware for many people.
2.51.1 Italy to be precise
JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTIT030.0R_USAJORDANRTIT_P044_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz
The France one has exactly the same apps btw
Good work! Think it would be a good idea to put the actual lists in spoiler tags so they're easier to scroll through
sorry for a noob question. how do i delete the pre-installed apk? let's say i do not want to use the standard browser or launcher? i want to sort of create a nandroid as per my own customisation
BlurHome.apk
BlurHome.odex
Quickoffice_BasicViewer_2.0.54.apk
Fota.apk
Fota.odex
voice recognition
and some other file (amazon, revolver, etc), also can be deleted.
But before delete BlurHome, install other HOME app, like launcher pro \ go launcher ex \ etc.
source for bat file:
extreme moto deblur.bat (pastebin.com)
\\\ Before RUN, install any HOME app, like launcher PRO / go launcher ex / etc.
\\\ Remove "%~dp0\adb" shell rm system/app/Swype.apk string, if you need swype.
\\\ Also, will be nice if busybox are installed.
-save as ANY_NAME.bat
-put in ADB dir
-RUN.
DON'T RUN this if you not fully understand all string in this file.
---------
upd.1: add 8 string
I deleted blurhome.apk and found myself with 100% cpu occupacy all the time, as soon as I put it back where it belonged the cpu usage returned to normal so... not a good idea to remove blurhome, believe me.
as soon as I remove voice recognition I get an error popup which won't go away even if I reboot the phone, it keeps popping out, so voice recognition has to stay
quickoffice has nothing to do with blur, it's an application I might want to use, same for revolver and amazon. I mean, I DO remove them, but they're not blur related

UgduiBill, hasn't any problem with 100% cpu usage.
voice recognition error only popup before restart, after restart no error. it's popup, because services is worked, when file removed.

I read a lot of comments about cpu usage removing blurhome, maybe it's different depending on the rom, I don't know.
Same story for voice recognition, I keep having that popup if I remove it.. but, no big deal, it's not blur related, I don't think it really slows down the phone
I'm more concerned about *moto* and *blur" apps/services
I'm using official froyo korea rom on my defy and it hasn't kodak perfect touch kpt.apk.
I want to install kpt.Anyone upload kpt.apk to anywhere please.
UgduiBill, voice recognition service always stay in memory, properly because of this, I removed it and I just never used this service.
fine for me.

I've been trying the various ROM builds (SFR 1.3,Hero and G2 Sapphire port) and found them slow/buggy but really only really wanted the HTC keyboard as opposed to the standard Android installed one. I then got hold of the HTC keyboard app "key.apk" and installed it
I can see it in "Locale&Text" as TouchInput and can enable it. The problem is I can't disable the built in one (Android Keyboard). Does anyone know how I can go about uninstalling/disabling the built in one so that the TouchInput one becomes active using abd for example?
Cheers
Dave
I think that would be like this:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
adb install key.apk <- i dont know where you can find this app i think in the original rom from your provider.
I dont now if this works but in roger thread somebody wrote it.
BR.
yes, you can't disable the HTC default keyboard, but I've seen the solution in one other topic on xda
First select the language keyboard you need and then go to where you want to type
When you're typing, press long the trackball or press on the text box and you'll see "Input method" (it's "mode de saisie" in french), and then you can select the new keyboard.
Thanks for your speedy replies. HTC_IME.APK doesn't exist in the APP folder...:

I followed haykuro's instruction to get Touch Input as one of the option and it worked.
Result!!
Thanks for that. I hadn't installed the libt9.so library file which was causing the problem. Works a treat now and as a bonus, seems to stay as the default keyboard. I was expecting to have to select the HTC keyboard each time I wanted to use the keyboard.
Thanks very much for all your help guys!

I followed this too (and from post #3)and I love the new keyboard.
I recently rooted my MyTouch 4G and installed Cyanogenmod. However, some of the stock T-Mobile / HTC apps were really good. For example, the clock app, "HtcClockWidget.apk".
However, when I try to install it, I just get a green checkmark and a message "Application not installed".
I have the APK's that I have extracted from a backup archive:

How in the world can I reinstall the stock clock app?
you can't, because the HTC apps you took from the stock MT4G rom WILL NOT work with AOSP roms (cyanogenmod, vanilla roms, etc). why? because Sense apps require the Sense frameworks, that AOSP don't have. closest you can get to getting the Sense widgets on an AOSP rom is trying to find them on the market.
SO WHATEVER YOU DO, SENSE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT INSTALL ON YOUR GLACIER IF IT IS RUNNING AN AOSP ROM.

Download go weather they have a sense clock theme
sent from mi myTouch ICS 4G via xda premium
There is a way to make fancy widget look like the sense clock, but I don't know of another way than extracting it from royal ginger.
On another note, if you want a slimmed down version of sense that those widgets and apps might work on, try the NoNsense ROM in the Dev section.
Sent from my HTC myTouch 4G using XDA App
Maybe I was unclear, but I don't give a crap what the clock looks like or the widget. What I'm interested in is the "Clock" app, which has a stopwatch, timer, and alarm clock.

when all "green" Apps are removed
> No Customisation -> sends you back to the Homescreen
> Sometimes error when connecting Phone to Computer
> Search-Tool (Magnifier-Button below the Screen) in the Homescreen doesn't work - but "inApp" it still works - i suppose it depends on "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
yes you can with causing problems with market
Careful deleting sound type apps, stops your ringtone working but can't remember which it was now sorry - I use osr these days...

Well i deleted some apps of a list in a german board.
I have 2 "bugs" now...
Can't take Screenshots
Can't use the "Search" Button under the Screen in the Home-Screen (InApp it works)
If anyone could provide a list of full stock rom apps I can name some of the "safe to remove" apps.
i am working on this list but i have some things to check first and i have some copyright-questions ... but i think i will have a good list soon!
Just a list with all the applications that Titanium shows, on a freshly flashed stock rom.
Here you are.

Nice list! Thank you very much.
Great! But my market doesn't work
Hi Guys,
I removed all of the apps on the green list and some of the apps on the "carefully remove list".
But now the market doesn't seem to work anymore... I open it and run into an error, I tried rebooting and clearing cache. Can anyone tell me which apps I should "reïnstall"? I have a backup.
perhaps you could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394871
Or even better:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Gapps#Google_Apps
Download, place on your SD card, boot into recovery, flash .zip from SD card.
20110828 version, latest.
You can delete MarketUpdater.apk - Market will not update anymore, but installed version worked.
You can delete Stk.apk if you don't use your Mobile network operator menu.
How can you restore removed apks? I want to restore some apks but didnt make a backup. Anyone has a fresh original stock rom? Or is there a other solution.
First of all, lot of thanks, this thread has a lot of use (at least for me)

In the samsung galaxy spica i alwais delete this 2 apk. The use is for the text to speech service (the mobile reads your text).
how much space we will get after delete these applications....?my phone is rooted & having 75 mb space after install around 20 applications...
I have delete only facebook related apk & reassign the fb button with update facebook.apk from market using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318839
but there no much diffrence in internal memory..its same as 70 mb...need help
No space. These are applications that take up the system reserved space, which you are unable to see in the normal settings -> applications screen.
I am curious where some system apps do reside. For example My phone has preinstalled "UCBrowser", Vimi and other useless applications for me.
I have the phone rooted but I can't find where they are installed! I also searched the 3.2.1 ROM by extracting system.img but the apps are not there. Where do they reside?
Thanks
If you're looking for the APK files:
/system/app
or
/data/app
However, you should use some dedicated tool to remove those preinstalled apps (in order to remove their data other than the APK).
Yeah, I've looked there, nothing. I tried many root uninstallers but no root uninstaller is able to delete the apps, they all say unknown error, cannot delete file please try again and so on. The applications are not running.
Similar but opposite case is with my alarm application, that one (also system app) uninstalled using root uninstaller, but I removed it by mistake probably as a part of some other application and now I can't get it back. Like UC browser I can't find it anywhere, this time looking in ROM image.
regarding the lost alarm app here are all "userdata.img" apps:

AldikoEbookReader.apk Facebook.apk OperaMobile.apk tetris.apk
Anduzzle.apk frozenbubble.apk PDF.apk touchpool.apk

.odex files intentionally left out. I can't seem to find either UCbrowser, VIMI, or my missing standard alarm app anywhere.
Since there is no HTC One SV list of apps safe to delete, I decided to reserch my self and make list for One SV. In general I used as guide line HTC One series...HTC stuff should be more or less all the same, and can be applyed on more phones...also, if it can be freezed without root, should be also safe to remove with root. I cut/paste apps and odex files from /system to /microsd for backup (with es file explorer). Dont like scripts and deleting forever. Posts and threads I used as refference guide are on the bottom! Thx
Im not programer, so this is my small contribution as satisfied OneSV and XDA user!
This is /system/app folder from my phone (HTC One SV - K2_UL), Croatia T-mobile
My phone is htcdev bootloader unlocked, twrp, rumrunner s-off, rooted. Stock OTA 4.2.2
I will write if I know what is app for, and if it is safe to delete. Bold apps I removed and phone is ok (up and running). If something is needed again, I can cut/paste back to /system/app and restart phone.
This post is work in progres, so help is most welcome! I have 3 goals:
1. Pinpoint and delete battery drain apps
2. Determin for every app if it is a) safe, b) maybe or c) DO-NOT-REMOVE
3. Gain space by removing unused, unwanted apps
For now I did Bold apks I removed. Later I will write app description...
For those who dont know, why I deleted apps if I could freeze:
I deleted Gmail app on system because I updated Gmail app (so I have newer version on /data also). When removed from /system/app I cut paste version from /data/app to /system/app. Same for PlayStore, Google TTS, GMS, etc.
SuperSu i updated through TWRP option! Works ok.
Also, some apps cant be freezed, and sucks on battery. I dont like that if I dont use them!
Gain in space is cca 500MB cca 160 apps

Job is not done yet. Theres more apps I think can be deleted but not sure. I deleted those I not use and I am sure are safe to delete...Now coms the hard part - to dare delete questionable apps...! Thats why I need help - if someone know that some apps are NO GO, that I dont mess up my phone...Or if some of not bolded are sure to delete... There are some I didnt delete and are safe to delete but I use them...
In next days I will for sure delete some more - lockscreen themes etc. HTC stuff is most questionable - dont know what did they connect them with...
But if I mess up - i think twrp have file manager, so I can get critical apps back!? Is that correct?

I have twrp backup. But dont want to go through restore alredy...
About romcleaner 6.0 - i go through that also, must look for those apps i am unsure, but it is for sense 4 not 5...there are some differences, some app dont extist any more, new are present etc. So rom cleaner for HTC One is closes call i think.
Dont like that grouping of apps - alphabetical order is better. I go from top to botom and delete. With rom cleaner lists is torture...but, im getting there!
If I need RUU, then I would need to downgrade to ICS, downgrade hboot or something like thet? Because there is no 4.2.2 RUU, just OTA?

you could just move the apps from /system/apps to somewhere like /sdcard/ext_sd/questionable_apps_to_delete
then if anything "Bugs out" on you just place them back to /system/apps and set permissions to rw-r--r abd reboot to fix.
Sent from my C525c using Tapatalk
I did just that, deleted few apps more and phone wont start now. Stays htc One beats audio white screen...I moved back apps to system app and changed chmod to 644 but it still wont to start. What did I wrong? I used twrp file manager to get apps and odex files back.
1. Mount System
2. copy paste apps back to system app
3. change chmod to 644 each app and odex i moved back
4. clear dalvik and cashe
5. dont want to boot
--> update, it is ok now. It was IdleScreen_ files.
I didnt get them back, just 6 of others. And those 5 i disregarded...It seems they are important.
About twrp and getting files back:
1. mount system
2. File manager copy paste apps from sd card to system/app one by one (apk and odex)
3. Change permisions apks and odexes one by one to chmod 755 (big button in twrp)
4. Click big button Fix permission - just in case...
5. Reboot
There is no fear, twrp is powerful!

DO NOT DELETE:

there is also basic and without lockscreen i think...
Phone wont boot if you delete those (even if you dont use them).
Didnt, check with and without each and everyone - but when removed those 5 phone stuck at htc white screen!
it's safe to delete all of the lock screen, face lock, and idle_screen apks.
I never tried just deleting one or two, so I've always delete all of them.
thanks for the heads up.
Sent from my C525c using Tapatalk
When I get them back, phone turned on! I also was thinking they are unimportant...so was thinking vpndialog is fault or fdhttp...so i put them back and stil nothing.. until idle screens i returned..
Maybe it didnt turn on because I selected without lockscreen one idllescreen..and you basic? What are your settings and are deleted now your idlescreens?
UPDATE 14.3.2014 - I notice that in stock sms app I cant add photo from gallery, just take new photo. Maybe because I deleted galery and quickpic isnt listed there...also in quickpic when option share selected, there is no sms app to select. But thats not important since MMS isnt used much. Handcent solves that problems. I prefer handcent because it is more confugurable - notifications etc....
I don't use any of the idle screens so I delete them all.
plus the HTC lock screen
plus the face lock....
everything is fine when I do this, nothing hangs phone still boots like normal......

Difference info also helps!
you can safely remove GoogleContactsSyncAdapter and GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter if you don’t wish to sync your contacts and calendar to google. also GoogleBackupTransport if you don't wish to backup your data to google.
I know. There is more safe to delete apps. Must write it down. But thats not big crapware...most people use it..
How can i get default gallery apk?
I use JBStocklight by Matlevo12 ROM (JB 4.1.2). When i extraclean the ROM, i delete by mistake default gallery apk from system/app . How can i extract that default gallery apk from rom image? (i don't know the exact name).
I still can view photos with QuickPic or File Manager, but i can't add photo to any contact, because the phone.apk use default gallery ( i supose). That's the reason because i what back that standard gallery viewer. (when i try it to add/change contact photo, i get the error "No pictures are available on your phone.")
Thanks.

I think, what you are searching is HTCAlbum.apk.
Extract it from the zip (system/app/) and copy it in the same place on your phone (using a root explorer).
Set permission to rw- r-- r-- (like the other apks) and reboot.
Try to setup contact photo from web - on gmail and then sync.
Also maybe you can setup photo from quickpic - set photo as contact...
I deleted the android system webview folder. Email folder and exchange services folder on system/app. Will bringing them back solves whitescreens and force stops in my phone when it wants to go to web?
