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

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 see that this topic has been created in other forums, like HTC vox, omnia II general. But since I am new to this I am not sure if the same answer holds true for my phone (Tmobile G2, Desire Z?)
The perpetrators I would like to remove are:
Amazon MP3
Google Finance
Latitutde
Shopper
News and weather
Google earth (why is it there if the phone has google maps)
Google Goggles
Photobucket
Facebook
Twitter
So is the only way to do this is to root the phone? If I root the phone will I have other apps remainng like google voice commands, and can I go back to origional OS?
Thanks in advance
without root you can't remove them, however, you can dis-able them. They wouldn't show up in your app drawer and they won't run, but they'll technically still be installed. There is a thread about it in the dev forums. I can't post links or else I'd find it
would rooting delete all the other apps as well???
Just wondering if it is possible. I am playing with it right now but I am not sure where the peep APK is.
Althought I don't understand why you would want to remove peep (One of the things pulling me against sense ), it's possible to just remove the APK from within your unpacked ROM folder. You should just go to system/apps/ and remove htc.twitter.apk or something (can't remember the name, but it's somewhat similar).
Anyways, the worst thing that could happend is that some sense-related files which depends on the peep client (I can't remember anything does, but just in case) will FC. If so, you have a little more job in getting the dependies removed.

Actually, I meant Twitter. I'd like to remove some of the stuff that isn't really needed.
Here's a list of what I'd like to remove on the HTC Desire Z
HTC Calendar
Friend Stream
HTC Likes
Music
News and Weather
Plurk
QuickOffice
I am just not sure what the file names are so that I won't spend the rest of the week during trial and error. Thanks though. If you have any idea what the APK names are, that'd be great!

Is anyone else running this ROM and having trouble syncing their contacts? I have the latest Facebook app installed and running smoothly but when I go to add a Facebook account (settings > accounts and sync > add account > Facebook) it acts like a broken link.
It does state in the ROM thread that media apps were removed. Could that be the cause (lack of Sense for Facebook)?
I'm a Desire HD user myself but the Wildfire Facebook app doesn't seem to have the same contact sync options within the app itself.
Any help gratefully received.
have you downloaded the FB app from the market?
Yes. I had originally restored it via Titanium Backup but when I encountered this problem I uninstalled and grabbed it directly from the market. Didn't make any difference.
and everything else syncs fine?
Yes. I've not had a problem syncing anything else although Facebook is the only 'media' app installed. Other items that sync (google contacts / hotmail) have no problems.
I'm not very familiar with sense. What app does it use to sync Facebook contacts? Does it just use the Facebook app (like in AOSP roms) or is there a sense-based app that runs in the background?
There's a couple of apps, friendstream.apk and friendstreamwidget.apk I'm not sure if you need both pushed to the /system/app folder or if theres anymore things needed, im pretty sure I've seen a Facebook for htc sense before too. Best bet is to download a full sense Rom and compare then steal the apps you require and push them to there relevant folders.

When u press sync it will start the sync adapter for facebook. Probably something like
com.facebook.android
I don't sync my fb contacts because there are too many so am not willing to test this so if anyone could confirm that would be great.
If you load up your fb app, can you just log in? this will sometimes add the account to the phone.
Also, try clearing data and cache from app manager in settings, uninstalling then re-installing

Thanks for the suggestions Scratch. I'll have to s-off the wildfire for that so I'll give it a crack tomorrow.
I've tried everything short of the [extreme] action suggested by Scratch Arkoze. Will let you know how it all goes.
Hi,there is a workaround via unzipping rom and copy,paste apps required if you don't fancy s-offing.

Ok, so I took the good advice given to me by slymobi and Scratch and added:
com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk
Friendstream.apk
HtcFacebook.apk
SocialNetworkProvider.apk
from a different ROM (REMPuzzle) into the /system/app folder of the kwbr 2.0 zip, reflashed and viola, the sense/facebook syncing seems to be up and running.
Thanks everyone.

from what I understand, you only need to have com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk if you have a widget set on screen, I believe it does not affect the Friendstream.apk but I may be wrong if someone can clarify?
Hi all
I recently rooted my Wildfire and installed the wonderful link2sd. My Wildfire was on T-Mobile and I froze the following system apps - Does anyone know if I can safety uninstall them as freezing dosnt appear to have created any problems? I assume that uninstall will create more internal memory?
Facebook
Facebook for HTC Sense
FM Radio
Gmail
HTC Hub
HTC Likes
Mobile TV
Peep
Stocks
Talk
Tell HTC
Tetris Demo

Top Apps
Is there any others I can ditch too?
Thanks ppl
Basically if you have frozen an app and it has caused no problems for a few days/couple of re-boots, then it is safe to delete. The ones in your list should be safe to delete anyway.
As for any others you can delete, it's hard to tell without knowing what apps you have on your phone. Generally anything that doesn't seem to be connected with the way the phone runs should be OK to delete.

You can remove all apps mentioned here ecept Tell HTC (Im not so sure about it). But yeah their integration will be limited,
You should be able to delete all the HTC widgets and mail and gmail and just redownload and link them.
