You should check the relevant section in the forum. As you've already rooted your phone, you may as well try cooked ROMs and any of them will most likely delete bloatware. Besides, you could use any root explorer to go to /system/app and start moving APK file in there to SD card to see if the system still works properly.
Good luck!

Easy
I have an htc explorer on bsnl. There was bloatware like bollywood hungama, ndtv etc on it. What i did was install link2sd on the phone as it helps store apps on the sd card. It can also remove system applications including bloatware. There are numerous other apps like titanium backup etc.
BtW you should really install jaggy rom as it can increase internal memory upto 130 -140 mb. Really cool.

sorry i forgot to include safe list.
Safe list includes ndtv, ndtv cricket, saavn, bollywood hungama, htc hub, htc likes and numerous others. You can even uninstall the browser and launcher if you use alternatives.

I have deleted ndtv news,cricket,savnn and many... Still I think I can remove calendar clock etc... But I need the exact name of app.. bcoz I don't want to delete any processing app

A general rule of thumb is that any app that has a relevant icon (ie one which is related to the task) can be deleted. But still you should make sure that you can get back the apps you delete. make a backup using titanium and then try to delete things you don't like. If anything goes wrong you should be able to restore backup. anyways if something goes seriously wrong you can always flash a new rom
And dont delete sim toolkit. I have found stories that sim card is not recognised on deletion of that app

Some of them can be removed without any problem, done on other two android devices but I am curious now to understand the reason why he will like to remove this system apps. Some of those neither take lot of space...
Ya.. I too was thinking same...

I have removed Google+ and Books with no problems.. most likely deletion of something in the 'other unnecessary stuff' is the problem.

The OP asked about doing this on Fallout - which comes pre-rooted.
One or more of the apps you're removing must be necessary after all, I think. But then, I don't know exactly which system apps you're removing.

It won't help you. If you're going to freeze exactly the same programs as you tried to delete - you'll get the same results, something won't work. The reason, as stated, is that you just don't know that something is useful and remove it.
Yeah to delete Google+ or Twitter. I can only delete the updates.

[Q] How to make facebook display my phone model? Or any other for that matter :)

Like when we changed our Facebook status from stock ROM it displayed "Sent via HTC Sense", but now I am on CM9 and it just shows "Sent from mobile".
So how do I change that? Will changing the phone model in build.prop have any effect on that?
You cannot. It is because in stock rom you were on the sense framework

So, the only solution is back to Stock Rom with Sense, or using any Custom Rom with sense?

Hi... do u have the apk file of facebook, which u were using while runnin the stock ROM (in ur sd card or somewhere)...?
If so, after updating to CM9.., dont download the fb's apk from the google now or play..
instead, "install the fb.apk from the SD card which u were using for the previous ROM.."
Sure it'll work..
Cos, i'm usin some of the applications like "Mobile dialer,Free sms india, etc".., which i used in the old stock ROM...!!
Try for it and Kindly Let me Know...!!

It won't work... It wasn't the facebook app which displayed "Sent from HTC Sense" but the Friend Stream app. And I did keep it for a while after changing ROMs, but couldn't install it. Kept saying Installation Failed. Even copying to app folder using a Root Explorer wasnt working. So gave up and deleted the whole thing.

Root Access Apps

We all know that if you root your device and flash a ROM, you get a couple of root access apps thrown in for "good measure".......
But which root access apps do you install post flash that aren't strictly speaking necessary, but which you find useful?.....
For me, it's......
Goo Manager.....gotta keep that phone up to date....
HC-kTool.......EFS needs to be backed up....
MD5 Checker...... Gotta make sure that ROM you're about to flash is OK....
Power Menu app.....gets you to recovery or download mode without mashing buttons......
Root Explorer.....prefer it to CM's file manager......
SD Maid.....getting rid of the junk...
SMS Backup and Restore.....need to stop the wife becoming suspicious when all my text messages disappear..... lol....
Terminal Emulator....who needs ADB or a PC lol....
Titanium Backup......the single most useful app to have on a rooted phone.....
ViPER4Android......the best sound enhancement app.....period....
Wakelock Detector.....see what nasties are stopping my phone from deep sleeping......
XDA App......OBVIOUSLY....lol
So what about you guys?......

And another thing you say that i post warez.,..
I can only post warez if i would place a free download link for a paid app
So i could even post a play store link without being warned by someone.
I have no link and so it´s not your business to talk about my posts in a negative and hopeless way!
