So for now I'm gonna stay stock rooted. But I am tired of seeing all these nonsense bloatware apps. Does anyone know what apps are safe to remove? Also can I just remove them via root explorer in system/apps or is there a better method.

There are numerous threads asking this same question; most of which even have answers in them. Here's an example of one to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828541&highlight=freeze+apps
Okay thanks. But is it recommended to freeze them instead or can I just delete the actual apk?

I freeze them because I don't want any issues when OTA updates come along, but according to this thread you can delete them (and it provides a huge list of the ones to delete)

You can always back up your apps with TB and reinstall back later.

You're making it harder on yourself. Do a full titaniumbackup and then use my debloater. If/when you need the app again do a titanium restore for that app. Much easier than freezing by hand.
ok...
can u just give me a list of the apps to remove?
anyway i just wanna remove those BACKROUND RUNNING APPS
I agree with FB backup->debloat-> enjoy lol
Look at a rom in the development section called SimplySimple he has a bunch of apps removed and he lists them that might help you know which apps are ok to remove

I use Gemini App Manager. It shows you which apps have "autorun" code in them and you can selectively kill the "autorun" codes you want.

You should still debloat. And help us keep the forum from getting bloated. Your post today could have gone in your previous thread. And consider hitting thanks.
If you want a list of apps you can safely remove try this.
Debloat. You have no idea how much ram will free up. Just do not get rid of Visual Voicemail. You already have a copy of the rom you downloaded- just unzip it, look in the system folder, and there will be all of the apks that come with the rom. If you want those apps back, simply load them on your sd card, and push them using a program similar to root explorer back into the system folder that they were originally located.
If your running Valhalla Black, don't get rid of Amazon Mp3.
I make the mistakes so you don't have to
Why not Amazon mp3?

At first it caused a process related to it to keep bringing up a force close message. The only way to remove it was by removing that process.
Here's the catch- once you remove that process, a process called com.android.xxxx (can't remember), starts force closing, which in turn resets your phone. I was also loosing my signal randomly.
I also had flashed other roms before. It could be some part of my phone was corrupted. I couldn't get a log because quite frankly, I needed a phone that worked again. I would just be safe and leave it alone.
The debloater is completely safe though- just don't get rid of visual voicemail.
I froze the amazon mp3, but all is well

That's the difference. I deleted it completely. Good to know it worked.

I did a factory reset cause some issues where occuring, now none of my root apps are working, SU is still there but it fails to get itself root access when it updates. Do i need to re root? With super one click?

Use root checker to confirm?
You can also see if super user app is there in your applications...
ofcourse you can check that by downloading root checker app from play store.

Just reflash.
Like lumin says reflash. Use the second link in his signature.
However what rom are/were you on?If it is not a stock based rom dont use the reset feature within the phone use the one in recovery.
Thanks lumin you continue to be a trusted advisor. I flashed
a stock gingerbread from lumin last week.

Perfect is a hard statement to make. Any of the ICS flavors are pretty stable there are bugs but even stock roms have bugs. I think barebones by antonx is a good one and VB by FB is too.
Is it add simple as installing stock GB was using heimdall? I've read good things about VB would you possibly post a link? Most I click on are dead/inoperable...

Had that problem before u just reflash the ROM. As long as u can still go to cwm recovery

It un rooted itself again! Wth. I dont have cwm. How do I get that?

Run Gremlin Remover and go from there. You will have root and CWM to flash the ROM you want.

I'm not sure that I understand the cwm. Click work mod? I put that on my CPU and tether it with the market app? Sorry this is still very new to me...

+1. That's what I did at first. I've now moved onto the JMT rom.
Use Titanium Backup, you can uninstall just about anything, and because you can uninstall just about anything you want to make sure you know what you are deleting is non-essential.

since this is the i777 forum, my guess would be that your section is not here. if you don't know what section is yours, you probably shouldn't be rooting and modding your phone.
sorry to be so harsh.

Not harsh at all. Following directions properly is the main ingredient for successful flashing or using apps that require root. Since restoring with TiBu across different ROMs can definitely mess up your phone if not done correctly, one needs to know exactly what they are doing. Not being able to find the correct forum is a bad omen.
Moving to a more appropriate thread...
Guys didn't wanna start a new thread and clog it up so ill ask here. With the new update a titanium backup, isn't it supposed to I have update zips that restore with data? when I restore through recovery after complete wipes, the app's install but there is no data. I was hoping that this zip would restored exactly the same as it would in normal restore processes. Example: SwiftKey needs setup again, all accounts need to be signed back in, etc

This has been covered many times. No need for a new thread.
And whatever you can remove in "Manage apps" without root is probably safe.

Just download an app freezer, and freeze all the bloat apps. It is much safer. Then if something messes up other things because it was frozen, then unfreeze it, simple as that.

Unfortunately, yes it is kind of trial and error with freezing apps, because it all depends on the "other" apps you use from the market to do things like sms and email and such. Some apps want to use the att address book and others do not, and so somethings things will FC if you freeze something that another app looks to be running.
It is really not as hard as it sounds.
