Ok i searched a litle and i did not find a thread with something like this for the desire.
I know it is possible to remove system apps link after you root the desire (and i intent to). But the thing is, what apps can i remove? Will remove them free some apps space?
I dont use stocks, facebook, tweeter, footprints, friend stream, teeter, quickoffice and News.
I want to use one of the mail applications gmail or mail aplications not both.
I use the clock with weather widget so i suppose i cannot uninstall News and weather application.
I found this list but is a bit dificult to understand all the dependencies the * ones...
So may question is what apps can i remove (from the list above) without messing up the system or other apps and if it frees some of the memory in the apps memory.

Most of the apps you mentioned you can remove. However, it will only free up space on /system, which means you won't be able to use it to install applications unless you manually push them via ADB into /system/app.

... or you could use Titanium Backup to freeze them, which would inactivate them without actually deleting them.
So even if i delete them from the system i will not free space!!!
So what i can do is after uninstall the apps that are in System move some of the apps that i want to maintain into the system/apps (thats the place were the apps of the system are right?).
So this way i dont free space for apps but i occupy space that i normally couldn't use with the apps that i realy use...
Hum ill try to search a bit about moving apps.
Howl you know any links to speed up the search ?????
Thanks for your help...

I am running Uncommon Sense v1.1. I would like to uninstall a few apps:
Chrome to Phone
Facebook
Friend Stream
Hulu
News
Peep
Stocks
Talk
You Tube
I am familiar with Titanium Backup uninstall method but have some questions regarding the frameworks that accompany these apps. Anyone know of a place that describes exactly what can be uninstalled for this list? It's easy enough to head into Titanium Backup and just uninstall these 9 apps but I think it leaves behind some components that don't really need to be there. But at the same time I don't want to uninstall something that could be critical to another app functioning correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
I removed Friend Stream, news, peep, stock with no problems at all, just move them to your sd card incase you need to put them back. Dont just delete them.
U can change the extention of thefile from .apk to .bak and leave them in their original folder

Hi.
i'm wondering if there are a temp folder somewhere on the internal memory where programs are being stored even tho they have been installed.
the reason is that last week, i had 40 something mb free, moved everything to sd, so problem solved.
Today i have 19mb free, i have installed some new apps, but they are installed on the sd card, so i can't figure out where the 20mb went.
I am figuring that it's probably the apk's i've downloaded which are left somewhere.
How would i go about figuring out where the 20mb went?
The cache of some applications is probably taking the space.
Go to settings, Applications, manage applications and look in apps.
Inside each app, Cache button is present.
Or, install from market
http://www.appbrain.com/app/app-2-sd-free-(move-app-to-sd)/com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
the new version can clean cache of the applications, if you start app2sd.

Yes, i've seen that mentioned somewhere else, the thing i'm wondering about, is that the 3 games i have added to the collection over a week, should that make a 20mb difference on the internal memory?
I've installed app 2 sd, and it's reporting that i've got 1.6mb cache used by apps, so not much going on here.
On the phone tap, it'll let me move maps, facebook and voice control to sd card, that's cool.
In the phone only tap, i can see those apps, which cannot be moved, i got 7 apps.
flash 11.2mb,
space invadars 4.6mb,
marked,
launcherpro 3.5mb,
beautiful widgets 1.8mb,
3g watchdog 688kb and setcpu 432kb.
On the bottum it says total 147.62mb, 21mb free.
21mb free, and i've only got those 7 apps installed on internal memory.
does that look correct to you, because to me it looks like there should be more available.
Hi,
I have more apps on "phone only", and even some under "on phone" and still 41 mb free.
And what about mail attachments and cache.
Go to mail, then settings, and see if you keep the data on internal or external storage. Check the same within the web browser.
And see if you have deleted already deleted mails from trash folder.
I can't help more.

I'm having the same problem, and like you can't find a solution .... yet.
I'm at 12mb free with everything possible moved to SD card.
I installed an app from the market yesterday then uninstalled it, but never recoverd all my memory, so I think, lke you there's something being left behind in a temp folder somewhere.
I'll keep you posted if I find a solution.
Bump.
As of right now i've got 8 apps installed on internal memory.
i've got 13.85mb left.
on sd i've got 39 apps, and 2.93gb left.
still no solution to where all the storage went?
the thing is that sometimes when u install then uninstall an app u don't recover the whole space, this issue has been discussed many times before,and basicly there is no temp folder from which u could delete unneeded files.the only way to recover that memory would be a factory reset
Hi all!
There's a way to sync market between phone and site?
The problem is that I have uninstalled some apps ( on device )but they continue to appear in "my apps" section ( on both device and market.android.com ).
This is frustrating cause after a full wipe, the market reinstall them automatically even if they were not installed before the wipe!
Thanks in advance for the answers
No one?
I believe they should auto sync. Maybe u need to refresh it. Go to remove app option, find the market app and select clear data. Do not select remove option. This clears the list of installed apps and searched words. When u go into market again it should refresh the list of installed apps.

Is there a chance that the apps that still appear in Market are ones you have purchased? Because paid apps stay there. You prolly realize this, but worth a shot. Also, you should consider using Appbrain app market, I thoroughly enjoy it.

So phone comes with Facebook for Android, and takes some space (6,45 mb) in the phone app, it's not movable, and linking doesnt change anything.
It looks like it can be uninstalled, so is there any fancier app that can do what Facebook for Android does or is it the only option?
Is it a good practice just remove it and use some 3rd party program that uses less space on phone?
If u want to link contacts you should use fb for HTC, adding a new sync profile for it under settings- account&sync.
Anyway,how did you manage to remove fb for android?

Try friendcaster perhaps.
Fairly full-features (including contact linking, notifications etc...)
Can be moved to SD or linked to ext (if you app2sd or link2sd set-up)

I don't think removing all these will make your device fly
If any battery monitor showing any of these application draining juice then you can remove/disable.
Truly speaking i have all these and neither of it even records 0.1% juice at end of the day unless i have used that application.
Now if you saying about RAM, Android itself have inbuilt LMK (low memory killing)mechanism, whenever it needs RAM, it will remove unused application from background.
If still you needs more RAM (Cosmetically) you can find option in development option in setting to limit application number in background, though i can't say weather it will be helpful to save juice or raise performance.

Instead of removing these, use Titanium Backup (you must be rooted) or similar to freeze them instead. Why? Sometimes you need them, and when you do you'll wish you hadn't uninstalled them completely. Also, a lot of the built-in application reside in the system partition, so removing them isn't going to get you any more storage space. What you really want to do is stop them from loading into RAM and hogging space if you don't use them at all. Freezing (i.e., disabling) them should do this. At the very least they won't run in the background and eat battery.
Also, some other apps/system services may link to these and if you uninstall them suddenly the system stops working the way it should (be especially careful of Samsung apps). When that happens you may need them to get the system back to where it should be. Unfreezing is a lot easier than trying to find them online or in a backup.
Finally -- before you do anything, backup, backup, backup.

Well I remove quite a bit out of my system/app folder and I see my android system battery usage drop significantly during the day, so I can't say it won't help as long as you don't use those items.
However all the things you listed are OK to remove, but I do recommend making a backup of the app folder at least. Ideally do a whole nandroid backup first.
When removing them, be sure to delete the apk and the odex file for the respected apk.
There's also alot more you can delete without losing much on the phone besides NFC which I never use anyway.
Lol i remove all system apps from samsung (except the snote, calendar etc.,) so far everything is fine
