Newbie question..
Can I actually remove unwanted APKs from the system\apps in ROM.zip I downloaded?
On the other hand, can I add in the APKs that I want to the system\apps folder located in the zip?
Will it have any negative impact/bugs on the ROM?
Edited: I have found out how to remove the unwanted apps. If I want to replace the default HTC message app with handcent app, which 1 do I delete? HtcMessageUploader.apk or htcmsgwidgets.apk
In my experience you will have problems if you remove some of the HTC apps and widgets. Can't you leave them in and just not use them? Just turn off the notification in the sms app so you don't get duplicate notifications.

this app com with sebastian15 rom (runnymede5.0).
so how to prove it?
or how to remove this app?
I do not know how to prove, but you can uninstall it in setting>applications>manage applications.
If you can not remove it there, use Titanium Backup to delete or freeze it.
remove apps
you can easily remove apps BEFORE you flash a rom,
u can use winrar or 7zip
you only have to access the folder (in the zip file of the rom) with the system apps and delete the apps you dont like
I removed some of the standard applications in the MIUI firmware (like Music).
App is removed, but it remains the widget.
In "\system\app" folder I do not see it.
How can I remove this widget? And the other system - such as a clock, photo frame, search etc.
Do you have S-OFF?
If you are S-OFF, you can do it directly in rom with an explorer which has root rights (e.g. root explorer)
If you are not S-OFF, you have to it via ADB:

I have S-OFF.
and I know how to remove applications etc.
but where are these widgets? as I wrote in "\system\app" folder I do not see it. there is an application, but not widgets. When I remove applications, widgets still remain.

This is because the stock widget are applications seperate from their applications. Just find those applications that has part of its name that matches the application you removed. (eg. For sense roms, to remove Facebook for HTC Sense completely, delete htcfacebook.apk and htcfacebookwidget.apk)

Guys, do you see what I write?
1. I ALREADY deleted the application (eg "Music").
2. NO files in the folders widget! Generally NO more files, whose name somehow related to "Music".
3. NOT Sense, but MIUI. I know how to remove widgets in Sense. in MIUI of this recipe does not work!
Using root explorer i can explore my root. I read somewhere in this forum that i can delete some of the unwanted stock programs; i also read that many of the stock programs waste a lot of ram!
So i want to delete some of the programs i never use. Is it possible? Do i have to just delete the apk file, or do i have to delete the .odex one too? And will it not hurt my phone?
Also, i noticed i can extract some of the programs from there. Is it possible for me to say, extract "video.apk" and "video.odex" from this rom, and simply paste it in the root folder of another rom and expect it to work?
Thankyou

Just delete the apk and the apps will disappeared but make sure the apk you want to delete is really not important or your phone will not work properly. Or you can try to freeze the apps you want to delete and see it for 1 - 2 days to see if it's working properly with other apps. If its not working properly just unfreeze it again.

Like the title says, I am trying to remove a few system apps and having a bit of trouble. I wanted to get rid of Messages and a few Verizon apps. Thanks for any help.
Just use a Root Explorer type app and go into system/app or system/priv-app and delete them.
+1 to the above comment.
Is there a list of apps that are safe to delete?
Hi All!
I rooted my G5S in order to use adblocker, it works great, using Root Explorer to delete System apks like Outlook, is not working, after reboot the deleted apks are back.
Any way to remove them??
Check this Location /oem/app or priv-app

Use System app remover.
I removed unwanted apks from system/Apps and system/private Apps, and it is fine. Outlook and LinkedIn are placed in root/OEM, unable to delete, Phone freeze, trying to mount.
