Hi everyone.
I've been experimenting with a lightweight version of the MyHero ROM. I have removed a lot of applications, and not experienced any instabilities. But since I don't know exactly what I'm doing, I thought I should ask for tips.
Do anyone know exactly which apk's that are safe to remove, or by experience, which are NOT safe to remove?
These are the applications I have removed from my customized MyHero ROM 1.1.1:
BizCardReader.apk
CNSoftKeyboard.apk
com.htc.PlurkWidget.apk
com.htc.StockWidget.apk
com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
DCSStock.apk
HTC_CIME.apk
HTCHoroscopeWidgets.apk
HTCNewsWidgets.apk
HTCStockWidgets.apk
HtcFootprints.apk
HtcFootprintsWidget.apk
HtcPlurk.apk
HtcSoundRecorder.apk
HtcTwitter.apk
iWnnIME.apk
MarketEnabler.apk
Maps.apk (Download from Market to keep updated)
PCSCII.apk
Stock.apk
SpareParts.apk (Download from Market to keep updated)
Tether.apk
VoiceDialer.apk
VoiceSearch.apk
(I have also deleted the belonging .odex file where present)
I have not experienced any instabilities or reboots by doing this... So far so good...
But there are a lot of applications and services that I don't know what is for, or if they are dependant to other applications.
Can anyone contribute, and help me make a complete list?
Perhaps this can clearify, and help others as well?
Edit: There are of course many more applications I could have removed (Calculator, Browser, Google Talk etc.)
Perhaps I should rewrite thread to produce a list of applications that are NOT safe to remove? Let's see what you think...
I ask why bother having hero if your guna strip her of all her goodies
I like the Hero/Sense interface, and many of the new features (compare to standard Android Cupcake). But I'm not interested in Stocks, I don't use Twitter, Facebook, Footprints, and many other features. I don't need Chinese or Japanese keyboard, and my impression is that removing unused applications saves resources and space...
Right or wrong in my assumptions, I like tweaking and building the perfect ROM for my use.
Could you please provide me with the right command to remove these apk as I can't manage to do it... (no such file messages)
You must run the code for each app you want to remove.
Start Command Prompt and browse to your android develop tools folder (for example: C:\android\tools)
(adb devices is not needed, but I use to run just to check that the phone is recognized)
adb devices
adb remount

I have put these commands in a batch file, so that all applications are removed and the phone is restartet automatically.
thanks. i also dont like this twitter and facebook and footprint crap.
i will play around a bit and come back
Service.stock is safe to remove. If you don't run the stock app and widget.
Don't remove socialnetworking.provider. its entangled with the contacts. will force close when editing or adding contacts.
I removed Google Maps according to your instructions, but can't find it on the Market to re-install. Any clues?
Here you go mate (Sorry xD I was in Australia some time ago and I get used to the english from there xD...)

I can't remember what version is, but is the last one before the 3.20 (I haven't found the 3.20 one yet)...
Removing Apps
To show all the system apps installed:
Code:
adb shell ls /system/app/
I also removed the old style homepage
Code:
adb shell rm /system/app/Launcher.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/Launcher.odex

Instead of typing both .apk and .odex (2 lines) just type
adb shell rm /system/app/Launcher.* <-- This will remove all files named Launcher.*whatever*
well, does it help to improve performance by removing unused applications? i mean, i don't tweeter or watch stocks and i see them in autostart every time i boot.
Hello:
I´m currently deleting too those apps under /system/app that i don´t use in order to get a more "optimized" system. In my case, I´m running Root Manager that I purchased from the market and that let you uninstall those apps directly from the phone.

I´m running MLGIN V1.0 Hero rom ported to work under my Spanish Vodafone HTC Magic 32B
Could you please help me with this?

Hello all:
Could anyone provide us with any reply to my last comment? I think that can be very useful for the whole community to know the real utility of these system apps in order to know if they can be safely removed
Many thanks
Rgds
What does every application do, we can explain by the application name!
What are those files responsible for:
Rosie.apk
Launcher.apk
PCSCII.apk
HtcStreamPlayer.apk
iWnnIME.apk
CNSoftKeyboard.apk

Rosie.apk - Main interface app of SenseUI (same as Launcher.apk)
Launcher.apk - Main interface app of Stock Cupcake1.5 UI - it hosts all application, manage widgets and more...
PCSCII.apk - client for syncronization via HTC Sync
HtcStreamPlayer.apk - Player for streamed audio
iWnnIME.apk - Japanese keyboard
CNSoftKeyboard.apk - Chinese soft Keyboard
If you're using SenceUI (7 workspaces, buttons (they are with icons, not titles) Programms, Call, Add at the bottom) - you don't need old app Launcher.apk
If you're live in Europe and not studying chinese or japanese - you don't need these keyboards
If you're using sync via HTC Sync - don't remove PCSCII.apk
Don't remove HtcStreamPlayer.apk. You may use it in the future.
Could someone clarify the following ones (i´ve reduced my initial list
AccountManager.apk *
SettingsProvider.apk * --> is this the whole "settings" batch?
HtcLocationService.apk * --> is neccesary?
Ftp.apk * --> Can be removed?

CustomizationSettingsProvider.apk*
DCSGeocode.apk * --> ¿¿????
ImProvider.apk * --> Is it the Market App?
HtcAddProgramWidget.apk * --> Widget for what?

HTCSetupWizard.apk --> is it neccesary once performed the initial set up?
GoogleSubscribedFeedsProvider.apk --> If you have an RSS reader like Greed, can be removed?

Thanks dude! I'm using Sense UI so I will remove launcher.apk. But all HTC and Andorid widgets will work? and last question what is Tether.apk?
To iamarock:
I have removed the following, and have not experienced any instabilities:
FTP.apk
GSD.apk
FieldTest.apk
HTCNew.apk
FilePicker.apk
Regarding your last list, I only know of these two:
HtcAddProgramWidget.apk * --> Widget for what?
- This is the program that allows you to create Widgets on your desktop, so don't remove it. (When you long press the homescreen and get the " Add to Home" menu.)
Vending.apk *
This is the Market app, I think. The new Sense ROM don't have a Market.apk
Does anyone know what the Clicker.apk does?
Just curious to what everyone has in there system/app folder to maybe get some ideas on some other stuff that can be removed.
To get a list the easy way, copy the app folder to your pc from phone , use the command line to browse to the app folder you placed on pc, Type dir > print.txt, you will now have a list of files in the print.txt file.

Sweet posts!
I'm stock with same stuff removed as Smartzkid.. wish we could get a blur removal list going.. i renamed the blur launcher after installing launcherpro.. also are you guys "pm uninstalling <packagename>" after removing an app?
Check the tutorial karan entitled removing the bloat, the list you mention has existed for weeks.

The thread you speak of is for removing Verizon bloat.. and if you read my post thoroughly you would have acknowledged that these are the apps that i removed already just like Smartzkid. Plus removing an app and renaming them are two different commands. So if there is a BLUR REMOVAL LIST that existed for weeks feel free to link it.
@MotoBoy: Please add [code][/code] tags around your list
Why does everyone remove CityID? Isn't it pretty useful?

I assume most of the new apks there are original droid apps? Where did you find them? Would you mind posting a screenshot of your calendar and contacts?

What is SpareParts.apk?

Its an extra $1.99 (?) a month to Verizon, so few people use it.
(accidental double post. I don't know how to delete a post...)
This should definitely be in the General section.

Yes they are the original droid apps. Contacts is still the same D2 contacts, not sure why that APK is still in there. Might have been from testing. Calendar is original droid too and so is the MMS package. I will post up my system and framework dump soon in case anyone wants to use it.
Spareparts is an extra settings pacakge. You can get it from the market for free.
I did a search on the forums and google and can't find a solution. While removing bloat ware on my phone I some how removed my settings apk and odex.
I'm not sure how or why I did this but I think it was because I was using the "up" button in the cmd prompt so I wouldn't have to retype file names when changing apk to odex and some how or another deleted Settings.apk/odex on some fluke (a copy and paste of the commands I typed in below).
Does anyone know where I can get these two files back (Settings.apk and Settings.odex), and what the commands are to put them back in the proper directory.
Thank you for any help.
Code:
/system/app # rm Sprint_NASCAR.apk
rm Sprint_NASCAR.apk
/system/app # rm Sprint_NFL.apk
rm Sprint_NFL.apk
/system/app # rm Settings.odex
rm Settings.odex
/system/app # rm Settings.apk

/system/app # rm com.htc.StockWidget.odex
rm com.htc.StockWidget.odex
/system/app # rm com.htc.StockWidget.apk
rm com.htc.StockWidget.apk
edit: Sorry, I meant to put this in the developers forum, but to be honest I am not sure where this belongs.
edit edit: did a advanced nanroid restore of my system and all is good. sorry for the obvious problem and fix, I am a bit new.
Using Root Explorer, I renamed the following files extension to .bak and now my launcher feels shaky (ADW Launcher).
Which app is likely the culprit?
adservice.apk
dlna.apk
dlnasystemservice.apk
geniewidget.apk
homesyncwizard.apk
livewallpapers.apk
magicsmokewallpapers.apk
messaging.apk
newbayvaultmarket.apk

Hi everyone
Instructions as follows, based on the one here but modified for Optimus 3D and my personal experience:
Prerequisites:
Rooted Optimus 3D with CWM installed
USB debugging enabled
Root explorer or any similar software (must have R/W access to system)
Android SDK with ADB installed
Java SDK installed
LG USB drivers installed
xUltimate downloaded and unzipped somewhere.
Instructions:
This was tested and working using v21D. YMMV for other roms, depending on what apps can or cannot be deodexed.
BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BRICKED PHONES.
Connect your phone to your computer.
Move the following apps in /system/apps to /sdcard/odex. These files will refuse to deodex using xUltimate:
Maps.apk and Maps.odex
Phonesky.apk and Phonesky.odex
PolarisOffice.apk and PolarisOffice.odex
PlusOne.apk and PlusOne.odex
VoiceSearch.apk and VoiceSearch.odex
Open Main.exe after extracting xUltimate, enter '5' and hit enter, accepting all prompts.
After some time, the deodexing process will complete and it will turn green and say the process was successful.
Open Root Explorer again, delete ALL of these apps in /system/apps. You'll get them back later after copying the deodexed files over. THIS IS REQUIRED OR YOUR PHONE WILL BOOTLOOP.

Turn on USB storage mode on your phone, copy done_app and done_frame to the internal SD card.
Turn USB storage mode off, open ADB in command prompt and enter the following commands. Make sure the # or $ signs have appeared after every command before continuing with the next step.
su (allow any superuser requests that appear here)
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
chmod 644 /system/app/*
chown root.root /system/app/*
chmod 644 /system/framework/*
chown root.root /system/framework/*
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /system
reboot

If mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /system returns an error that device or resource is busy, ignore it and just reboot.
The first reboot will take a while, be patient.
After the phone reboots, you can move the files from /sdcard/odex back to /system/apps.
You're done! You can install any deodexed theme now
Mostly deodexed v21D files: Mediafire
Extract the files somewhere and follow the instructions from step 7 onwards.
This method should work for most stock roms. Make sure you make another CWM backup after the process to ensure everything remains as is afterwards
Another advantage of an almost fully deodexed rom is that the phone feels so much faster and smoother
EDIT: Verified that the ICS theme does not work with this method Lots of FCs everywhere. Try at your own peril.
