What apk`s can be removed with S-OFF?
What apk are safe to remove from the HTC Desire with sense? I have a rooted stock Froyo rom with S-OFF
I have have removed
Calculator.apk and Calculator.odex
HtcCalculatorWidget.apk and HtcCalculatorWidget.odex
com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk and com.htc.TwitterWidget.odex

I have also removed most of the stock ringtones. I would like to know if anybody else has removed som other apk`s without running into any trouble.
Iàm going to remove the stock HTC music player and stock HTC internet browser as I use other programs for these tasks. If someome has tried this please advice me on how it worked out.
The point of removing these apk`s are to get rid of things I don`t use and to get a smaller leaner rom.
I have now removed more apk`s.
Com.htc.MusicWidget.apk andcon.htcMusicWidget.odex
HtcMusic.apk and HtcMusic.odex

htcbookmarkwidget.apk and htcbookmarkwidget.odex
I feel that the phone boots faster and is a bit snappier. Things seem to go just a bit faster once booted into sense.
I don`t know if there are any more apk`s that can be removed without causing issues.
Moved to Q&A. Please do not post question threads in Development.
I'm not allowed to post links, yet, but "wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones" might help...
Thank you. I have looked at your link.
Noob question but how did you removed them?
I used a program called root explorer. The files are located in /system/app.
I copied the apk`s to my sdcard just in case something went wrong and and to be restored. It is also possible to delete them directly.
What is the size of your ROM now?
Can you check that?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I would do it if I knew how exactly.If you can advice me on how to do it I will.
Have Astro and root explorer on the phone.
so then, how many free space do you have in internal memory ?

Internal memory won't change when deleting stuff from the system partition, if you want more internal memory by removing preinstalled apps you have to move some of you own apps from /data/app to system/app.

Hi,
I want to remove apps from a rooted (official) HTC Rom and to make sure that I don't delete important stuff or apps which the OS needs i hoped you can tell me which I can delete and which should better remain on the rom.
Calculator.apk
Calculator.odex
HTCCalculatorWidget.apk
HTCCalculatorWidget.odex
The calculator does only the basic stuff and on the market I've found one which is way better.
Calendar.apk
Calendar.odex
Is this the default Android Calendar? The HTC Calendar is nother app, right? So I won't need this one.
com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
com.htc.TwitterWidget.odex
Facebook.apk
Facebook.odex
HTCFacebook.apk
HTCFacebook.odex
Not using Facebook and Twitter and not planing to. I've found the Twitter Widget but how is the app called? Or is there none? HTCTwitter.apk?
com.htc.StockWidget.apk
com.htc.StockWidget.odex
The app for this is Stock.apk, right? Somebody know what stk.apk is?

Can Mode10Wallpapers be deleted too?
What is LiveWallpaperPicker?
What are these apps and do I need them? Clickr, Flickr
And the app called Peep is unnecessary for me too but can't find it in the app folder of the ROM.
Hope somebody could help me. I didn't find an explanation for the every app.
This might help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710113&postcount=5
Yes. Already found this one. But it only tells me how to remove not what can be removed without problems.
Im an advocate of trial and error,,,,,
Nobody who could help?
I just tryed my luck with the rom from which i removed quite a lot apk's. Put it on the SD, went to recovery mode, wipded the data and installed zip from SD Card.
No problems so far. But it didn't remove any app. Stock, Facebook, etc. still there. Some Ringtones which i removed from the rom are still there too.
What did I do wrong?
Hi...
I've deleted com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk by accident and for be able to get OTA updates I need:
HtcTwitter.apk
HtcTwittew.odex
com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
com.htc.TwitterWidget.odex
If anyone has it please post it.
P.S. Maybe if someone can explain me a way how to install OTA update without this files.
Thank YOU!!
(Phone HTC Wildfire S)
Here you go...hope i helped..
P.S.ako radis update moraćeš opet da otključavaš bootloader i da radiš root
Odex files moram na link...nemoze ovde
widget odex here https://www.box.com/s/b98f344fc278dbccd9b6
app odex here https://www.box.com/s/252d8fad59509396d1e1
thank you it worked... but now it stopped on /system/bin/debuggerd
i used link2sd and it modified that file... can you send me that file aswell..
thank you in advance!
EDIT:
Don't send me anything.. I managed to correct it.
In /systems/bin/ you have debuggered and debuggered.bin
Everything you need to do is to move debuggered to i.e. somewhere on your sd card, and to rename debuggered.bin to debuggered
then just run upadate and it will finish it.
Then reverse the process of renaming and everything is ok...
Thanks for files once more....
Spasao si me svih muka!!! )) Puno ti hvala!
Nema problema...uvek,ako mogu
Could someone please upload deodexed photoretouching.apk from /system/app folder?
TIA
No "photoretouching.apk" in the system/app folder for me!
Could be in /data/app. Sorry for inconvenience.
and tnx
List of stuff in system/app that you should/shouldn't delete.
All at your own risk, thx.
Notes:
- If my Galaxy S2 and Acer Liquid are of any indication, deleted apps stay deleted through a factory reset. BACKUP FIRST!
- ROM updates will most likely restore those deleted apps along with trashing your root. <_<'
- The Ouya stock ROM is odexed. You MUST delete the odex as well to excise the app completely. (You probably want to clear app data before deleting too, if you can.)
- I have the Xposed Framework installed, complete with Play Store and all that. I think I excluded all the files I pushed into System/App, but tell me if I made a mistake here.
Get rid of them if you feel like it
NoiseField.apk / .odex (Live wallpaper, android default)
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk / .odex (Live Wallpaper, android default)
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk / .odex (Live Wallpaper, android default)
VisualizationWallpapers.apk /.odex (Live Wallpaper, android default)
LiveWallpapers.apk/ .odex (Live Wallpaper, android default)
??? I think I shouldn't touch these but they don't seem necessary ???
Phone.apk/ .odex (...why is this here? The Ouya doesn't do GSM/CDMA voice...)
OUYAOOBE.apk/ .odex (OOBE = Out Of Box Experience, the setup program you go through on first run. Keep for Factory Reset safety.)
OUYAKeyboard.apk / .odex (I think this is the best IME you can use with the controller. Don't get rid of it.)
OUYAWallpaper.apk / .odex (OuyaLauncher is hardwired to use this Live Wallpaper, and I really don't wanna find out what happens if I toast it.)
Galaxy4.apk /.odex (Is this a Live Wallpaper?)
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk/ .odex (This one allows you to select Live Wallpapers that you installed. Ouya's stock launcher doesn't care, but if you're using BAXY, KEEP THIS)
SoundRecorder.apk/ .odex (The Ouya has no mic port but does support bluetooth headsets and their mics...)
UserDictionaryProvier.apk /.odex (SPEL CHUCKER)
VpnDialogs.apk / .odex (I think this allows you to VPN into your device. It may come in handy... if I ever learn how to use this function. :3)
!!! Do not touch !!!
MusicFX.apk / .odex (This is your "sound driver")
OuyaLauncher.apk / .odex (System UI, he who removes this - good luck, I can't help you)
PackageInstaller.apk /.odex (Unless you want to lose your ability to install .apks you copied into the device...)
Settings.apk /.odex (You get rid of this your business)
SettingsProvider.apk / .odex (see: Settings)
ApplicationsProvider.apk / .odex (Do you want to NOT run anything?)
BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk / .odex (Android's backup/restore interface. May be useless since Stock Ouya has no Google connection. Not touching because I'm not sure.)
Bluetootk.apk / .odex (Look I know ICS/JB Bluetooth has issues but at least the hardware's usable...)
Browser.apk/ .odex (??? ...not touching)
CertInstaller.apk /.odex (Since a lot of the good stuff is signed these days, don't get rid of this...)
DefaultContainerService.apk /.odex (??? ...not touching)
DownloadProvider.apk /.odex (unless you don't want to download anything ever again...)
DownloadProviderUi.apk/.odex (This one kicks in if you try to download a file from a web browser...)
DrmProvider.apk/ .odex (As much as I hate DRM, I'm leaving this in here just in case some DRM protected media files won't run...)
HTMLViewer.apk/ .odex (This is Ouya's internet browser, I think...)
InputDevices.apk /.odex (Unless you want your Ouya to become a paperweight...)
KeyChain.apk /.odex (Linked very closely to CertInstaller)
MediaProvider.apk /.odex (Music/Movie playback backend)
NetworkLocation.apk /.odex (I think this is the Assisted part of AGPS. It's also what allows Google Search to fuzzy your location if your GPS is off.)
NvCplSvc.apk /.odex (Rule of thumb, NEVER remove files with arcane names, because it could be the OS maker obfuscating an important system app...)
SharedStorageBackup.apk /.odex (???)
SystemUI.apk /.odex (... trust me, you don't wanna)
Ouya's firmware is actually quite clean and barebones, I'll give them that! No goddamn telco bloat!
Don't worry about getting rid of Live Wallpapers unless you really like the android defaults. You can always pull the APKs from another device and use them. Just don't get rid of the Picker if you want to keep using LWPs. (I suggest keeping the OuyaWallpaper, which happens to be an LWP, to keep the Picker happy.)
If I make any mistakes here, feel free to correct me.
I did a small search around the forums and couldn't see a thread compiling all stock apps that can be deleted. Is there one? If there isn't, it'd be appreciated to have a list so I can safely remove the bloat.
Thanks in advance!
