**UPDATED FOR JB OTA**

I recommend you freeze these instead of uninstalling these since we do not have fastboot for JB. I'll make additions and subtractions from this list as needed. All of these apps are located in /system/app unless otherwise noted. Certain functionality will no longer work if you remove everything on this list. Removing "Dock" services prevents you from using any type of dock except for charging. This setup also leaves you without a browser, allowing you to chose one from the market. Stock homescreen is not included in this list because if you install a 3rd party homescreen, freeze or uninstall the stock one and then factory reset, you have no longer have a usable phone.

And yes I realized I spelled debloatable wrong.

question about quickoffice. Will i still be able to open powerpoints and word docs if I freeze that? I have never paid attention to whether it was quickoffice, or a google internet app opening the powerpoint.

Probably not. I don't think Google Drive natively supports anything except Word docs. Ill try it out though and let you know.

[Shawn!]

Yeah I got a bit antsy and got rid of a couple totally...Madden, Golf, Kindle, and one more. Oops.

[fishaholic]

so will freezing apps stop them from boggin down the processor or just remove them outta sight?

either way is good just dont know what else freexing does besides removing the app from the app drawer lol

[hecksagon]

It will change the file name of the app so that android can't find it. This prevents it from being started.

[SteakNEggs]

How do you freeze an app? Oh, you need root

[rwil85]

I forgot to protect root before coming over.

did you try matt's root utility?

[hecksagon]

If you didn't protect root in the first place you probably can't get it back even with matts utility. Its worth a try though. You can always hide the apps in your app drawer by getting a new launcher that allows hiding apps.

what if i accidentaly uninstalled COLOR and homescreen? rootuninstaller was supposed to make a backup but the app is screwing up. So needless to say i have 2 apps Color and the homescreen that i need apk's for. Or i think i need them? I know in order to update im gonna need them. What else might o need them for and what shuld i do about it.

[mattkilla]

ohh im running the razrr m homescreen so i dont "NEED" homescreen right now and COLOR sucks. Im just looking at the future, Did i mess up?
I figured out why i lost the 2 apks.Rootuninstaller was messing up and not writing the backups to the SDcard when it says it was. I was able to recover the few others but those 2 im missing.


also on setup wizard, i have 3 of them. setupwizard.apk, vzwdevicesetup.apk , and locationconsent.apk. Is the one you disabled setupwizard.apk?

I read your advice to not uninstall. The only one i really want to uninstall is MADDEN12 and Lets Golf 2. They are incredibly large(madden) and i wont use them. If i create a backup(and double check that i did) would uninstalling it compromise my system?

Theres really no need to uninstall them since they on your system partition and you don't want to be putting anything on that anyways. When you uninstall apps that where on the system partition it will not make your internal storage any larger.

Good to know thanks.
