Deleting Tmobile myaccount will cause your phone to go into infinite force closes making your phone unusable. If this happens, remove your SD card and SIM card, than reboot. After rebooting you will see your bloatware has returned and your phone will be back to normal. Using titanium backup, however, and "freezing" the app causes no problems and at least stops the background services from running. Deleting Telenav GPS navigator will NOT effect your phone's gps as one thread in general states, and freezing the "backup" system app which runs the tmobile contacts syncing account in titanium backup is good to do a well. Both of these apps leave 2 constant background services running.

Kind of a live and learn thing?
MyAccount is actually a nice app to have. Provides quick access to your account information as opposed to accessing via the web. not sure why you would want to remove it anyhow it's not really bloatware as much as it is a functional app design for tmobile customers.
Tmobile TV is another story.
Your right to a degree
its all depending on the person....I mean I personally never worry about my minute usage so i dont need to constantly check, so for me its useless, and if i really wanted to access my account id just go on my comp.... anyways like i said its all opinion
I deleted my account and just held the power button to reboot. No issues with it coming back and no more my account.

Of course, same as if you deleted Wifi Calling. That's why I hold down power until the phone reboots and then it doesn't force close anymore.
Why delete those? Especially MyAccount, provides useful information for sure!
I deleted My Account 1.0 and now have FC Issues, HELP!
I was trying to get rid of "My Account", AKA T-Mobile My Acount, to keep it from constantantly running in the background, but actually deleted "My Account 1.0", nad not the "My Account 4.?" with Titanium Pro... I tried to freeze them both but the program kept appearing in my task list, so I deleted the My Account 1.0 entry.
Soon as I did, I got a buzz... buzz buzz buzz... the buzzes of death... I now get force closes when ending a phone call, when trying to read SMS, and when trying to view my call log.
This is killing me, and I have no idea how to fix it...
Any experts out there, please help!

I've Been able to do the following with no ill effects so far :
Uninstalled via TitaniumBackup
=======================

GoGo
Y! Finance Clock
ThinkFree Office
TeleNav GPS Navigator
T-Mobil TV
Slacker
Media Hub
Kindle
Inception
DriveSmart
DriveSmart System
doubleTwist
DeskHome
CarHome
Buddies now
All Share
Air Sync
Frozen via TitaniumBackup
============================
Audio PostCard
Backup
Days
Memo
MiniDiary
Video Chat
WiFi Calling -- dosn't really work tbh
Write and go

Apparently freezing the "Wifi Calling" app dosn't actually work for me, even after rebooting.
Orionsmart, if you remove DriveSmart, does it remove the link for it inside the settings menu?
EDIT: I just went ahead and removed it, was tired of it running constantly without even using it, and the menu item remains. Small price to pay I suppose.

Is this confirmed?
I think i read in more then one thread that it will affect your GPS.
I only kept it because of this, so if i could be sure, i would remove it right away.

It never affected my vibrant when I took it off of there. So I would imagine it won't cause problems on the 4g

If I backup TeleNAV GPS with Titanium Backup, and then delete it, how can I restore it? I want to have as many MB free in Storage since the reason why I bought the phone was to access the Market and install lots of useful apps
Titanium backup created two files: com.telenav.app.android.telenav-20110314-174328.properties
com.telenav.app.android.telenav-20110314-174328.tar.gz
The tar.gz file has this inside:
\data\com.telenav.app.android.telenav\
inside I see 4 folders:
.\databases
.\files
.\lib
.\shared_prefs
What should I do now if I want to restore the Bloatware?
The custom Odin tar file that krylon posted works great includes root, and already has bloat removed. After I got it flashed on my phone there is a huge difference much smoother and faster than original stock.

Why would you want to do that ?
on the other hand, i think there is a stock software file floating around the forums somewhere..
If you want to replace something and you are rooted. Buy root explorer from the market and get your hands on the. Apk (for this phone) and really install the apps you want. Otherwise if you root first then make a back up of apps with titanium backup from the market, you can then also select the ones you want and either delete or freeze the ones you don't want to keep.

Just wanted to say that i removed Telenav with no ill consequences.
Thanks for the info.
My question is, is it safe to uninstall rather than freeze, certain apps? For instance, stock and the stocks widget. News and the news widget. Those I definitely never use. I want to uninstall so that I can free up space on my phone.

I am also wondering the same thing . However, I can confirm that it is safe to uninstall wifi calling, teeter, nova, slacker, and lookout.
After uninstalling wifi calling, a force close window kept popping up for me, but after a reboot it's fine.
Yes it is safe to do so provided u know what u r uninstalling...

Thanks a lot! I assume it will be safe to uninstall these since it's safe to disable? I really have no use for things stock and tweeter related..
I have only started deleting a couple of apps, and have no problems:
peep
twitter
I am going to continue deleting apps tomorrow.
So I'm still running the stock firmware, and overall it's being fairly tolerable now that it's had all the useless t-mobile apps removed. But one continues to elude me. Every time I boot the phone, every time I switch from wifi to 3G, every time my phone re-discovers the network, or any time the phone simply feels like it, I see "T-Mobile Contacts Backup" run for a minute. I'm in Canada, on the Wind network, so this is completely pointless to me. Yet I've not been able to get rid of it.
I've gone into Accounts and Sync and set T-Mobile Contacts Sync to off. I've also gone into my contacts to make sure it's set to save to google, and that display contacts from t-mobile contacts backup is turned off. No change.
I've also wandered around the installed apps with Titanium backup manager, but I don't see anything called "T-Mobile Contacts Backup."
Does anyone know how to remove this irritating little app once and for all?
com.voxmobili.sync.MobileBackup2.apk
remove that app

Can you be more specific? I don't see anything like that in Titanium backup or pawing through the phone with a file manager.

It would be in /system/app, I believe.

You need to use a file managing program with root access like super manager also and it is in /system/app you need to change access to r/w also

That's what I've been using. Still can't find it. I found MobileBackup.apk in /system/app though. Is that it?
Yea that should be it but to be safe before you delete it change the apk to bak and make sure the tmobile backup doesn't work anymore then delete it

Sure it doesnt take long but its downloading apps that i have already uninstalled in the past, and forgetting to download some apps that i usually have

I don't know if you can edit that list, but I always turn off Auto Sync before signing in with my Google Account so that the applications don't start auto-downloading before I install Titanium Backup.
I just skip signing into my google accounts until after I've installed the titaniumbackup apk that I leave on my sd card for this very reason... I so wish there was a way to edit that list Would save me a bit of time.

I just backed up all my apps in My Backup and for all of them I got a Market Link not found unablento connect to market error.
Im in Thundershed 1.4 rom.
Any idea why I would get this error?
I dunno but why don't you use titanium backup?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I use both. I usually prefer to reinstall apps from my backup because titanium mixes in some (system?) apps that don't play well from one rom to another.
It seems that updating my backup fixed the problem.
It's always best to exclude system apps from your backup. If you don't back them up then you should be ok.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
My Backup does that automatically so it reduces my chances of screwing up. I do use titanium for individual apps....just don't like using its batch feature.
I don't know how some developers can write great code all night long. The later it gets the more obvious my errors are the next day.
Yea I used my backup for a while but I got tired of the errors I was getting from using it. You can filter what apps show in your batch list in tibu which makes it easier for keeping system apps out.
