Now that we have got root, we can delete some of the Apps that are Preinstalled.
I wanted to make a list with Files that can be deleted without causing problems.
To delete any of this Files you need root + some sort of Root Explorer or Root Manager
I tested this with both of Leshaks ways of gaining root and used Root Explorer to delete the files.
The Direction where they can be found is /system/app
First off all the Standard Apps:
Aldiko eBook -> aldiko-standard-1.2.6.1....apk
Allshare -> Dlna
BuddiesNow -> Buddiesnow.apk
Clock -> clockpackage.apk
bookstore - bookstore.apk
Daily Briefing -> Infoalarm.apk
Layer -> Layer-samsung.apk
Memo -> Memo.apk
Mini Diary -> MiniDiary.apk
Myfiles -> Myfiles.apk
Messages -> MMS.apk
Navigation -> Navigation.apk
SozialHub -> undifinedInbox.apk
uTalk -> clientUTalk-03062010.apk
VoiceRecorder-> VoiceRecorder.apk
VoceDialer-> VoiceDialer.apk
Writeandgo -> Writeandgo.apk
LiveWallpapers:
LiveWallpapers.apk
LiveWallpaperpicker.apk
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
TATLivewallpapersAurora.apk
TATLivewallpapersBlueSea.apk
TATLivewallpapersDandelion.apk
TATLivewallpapersOceanwave.apk
VisualizationWallpapers.apk
pre installed Tw Wallpapers:
TwWallpaperChoos.apk
TouchwizWidgets:
Days.apk
Dualclock.apk
SamsungWidget_stockclock.apk
SamsungWidget_Feedandupdate.apk
SamsungWidget_Calenderclock.apk
SamsungWidget_Weatherclock.apk
I also tried to delete the Touchwiz Launcher and Replace it with the Launcher Pro Beta and it kinda worked. But there was a bugreport that said
"android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close"
*update
Greetings
I tried using root explorer, es strongs, etc... to deleted system/app applications (such as the utalk application in the F5 firmware) and it keeps coming back!
how do you successfully remove those ?
and what is the APK for bookstore ? the russian one in F5 firmware.

Yes I am rooted.
AG_Uni - I tried to delete client_utalk but it comes back when I refresh =(
I can access superuser fine though..
did you try to mount / as rw ?
and how did you gained root? with odin or adb
Btw:
I disabled the Tw launcher and installed Launcher Pro. Then i set Launcher Pro to default and restartet the Phone. Now Tw isnt even in the backround
I rooted using ADB
I didn't try to mount no.
thanks for your help though Jonas

no problem, i havent tried root using adb but it shouldnt make a difference.
with csc, there is a tool that opens if a app wants to use root.
i am not familiar with adb root but perhaps you have to allow the programm to use root manual...
I've just rooted my phone and it's my first android experience so can I just go ahead and delete these APKs? They will automatically disappear from my widgets/app list or do I have to perform some sort of uninstall first?
(I'm comfortable enough with su/linux commands to understand what I'm doing)

How did you disable it?
It is not recommended that you delete gtalkservice.apk. Even though it is primarly used for Gtalk, the market also leverages this for communication when downloading apps.

Install Launcher Pro, then push the hardware button. A Window opens where you have to choose between the two launchers. You mark use as default and pick launcher pro. If you look at your Prozess you can see that tw launcher is still running. Now you have to reboot youre phone. Afterwards it should not be running anymore.-> Disable

First of all you have to install Root explorer. Then go to /system/app and simply delete the apk files that are linked to the apps you want to get loose.
But some apks like the tw launcher should not be deleted, because this still causes problems

You can uninstall system apps using ADB or use app on the device something like Root Explorer or root manager...
with root explorer you can browse to /system/app and delete (or move to sd for backup) .apk that you want to uninstall.

UnifiedInbox is Social hub, not SNS.. if you removed SNSProvider/SNSAccount, Facebook Samsung app will break (can't login) and I'm not sure if that's applicable for standard Facebook app or not.

I haven't seen anything posted about this so I figured I'd post the list of apps that I have renamed or removed in CM7. Some are apps that the tablet won't ever use and some are apps that I personally won't be using. I'm sure there are more but these are the ones I've done so far. Please note: When you rename phone.apk you will get a message saying that phone has stopped working and it will not stop popping up, just hold down your power button to reboot and it won't come up again.
ADW Launcher.apk (if you're using a different launcher)
Androidian.apk
AdroidTerm.apk
Bluetooth.apk
Browser.apk (if you're using a different browser)
Camera.apk
CarHomeGoogle.apk
Cyanbread.apk
CMStats.apk
CMUpdate.apk
CMWallpapers.apk ((if you're using a different wallpaper)
Contacts.apk
DeskClock.apk
Development.apk
DownloadPrividerUi.apk
DSPManager.apk
Email.apk
FileManager.apk
FOTAKill.apk
GenieWidget.apk (news and weather widget)
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
HTMLViewer.apk
LatinIME.apk (if you're using a different keyboard)
LiveWallpapers.apk (if you're using a different live wallpaper)
MagicSmoke.apk

Phone.apk (RENAME THIS LAST)
Protips.apk
RomManager.apk
SetupWizard.apk

DO NOT RENAME: ContactsProvider, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter or GoogleContactsSyncAdapter you will end up with framework and/or GApps errors.
I have often wondered why alot of these were left in the ROM.
I always delete lots of those apk even before I flash the update.zip
you can add:
Protips.apk
packman.apk (maybe)
RomManager.apk
I've been wondering about this as well and have been both mucking around with the ROM zips as well as simply deleting things with Root Explorer as it's just plain silly for Phone to exist on the Kindle Fire.

Just to pick your brain a bit: Are you simply editing the zip contents (seems safest) or are you actually extracting everything and then re-compressing it once you've removed the fluff?
You *can* keep SoundRecorder if you want to - and it makes sense ot include it in the ROM. True, the Kindle Fire doesn't have a built-in mic, but I have one of these mics and it works great. It just doesn't use the speakers if this mic is plugged in, since it's detected as a headset + mic.

Just curious, regarding Contacts.apk and Phone.apk...are the two interdependant or will Contacts work without Phone.
Seems to me that using Contacts synced to your G-Mail account would provide the e-mail addresses of your contacts (just ignore the phone numbers) for any e-mailing you might want to do from your Fire...

As I recall from previous posts, renaming such apks like phone and telephony will cause FC's in the settings menu and possibly other areas.

The only temporary issue is when renaming phone it, causes it to force close, once you reboot it doesn't happen again. I've had them all renamed for a day or so and I've been through a lot of the settings and have not had an issue.
Why rename when you simply evict? make up some extra space for yourself...
do it with adb... root explorer titanium, your fingers, out of /system/app/* and then their corpse cousins over in /data/data/* This is where I learned... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones.
Telephony, bluetooth, latinime, latinimetutorial mms phone street torch music dsp sound recorder talkback. com.amazon.mp3 was a hated app of mine since time immemmorial!
My routine when flashing CM nightlys on other phones is rather than take the time to clean up the rom for myself, i would just flash the full rom along with the gapps and then the titanium zip as a system file so its there when I get into android... then use the titty with a pre-determined list and just rip a lot of stuff almost 30-80MB and that gave me a LOT of breathing room on the G1/Dream.
When Titanium got down to the last app =Wifi Calling App the phone would go nuts.. and I always had to hit the reboot at the specific time to get it to reboot (if I missed that time, then I had to do batt-pull) get into recovery do wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot recovery then fix permissions and boot back.. and all was well.
the point is when you take out the music and telephony, especially DSP Manager, anything that uses audio is tied to other parts of the framework -- but its always fixable with a reboot and fix permissions.

I always rename them and leave them for a few days before deleting them just to be sure things still play nicely.
Browser (I use silk)
Gallery (I use QuickPic)
ADW (I use go Launcher)

Yes! Before flashing, open zip file and delete any apks that you don't need. Easiest way in my opinion.
Some more stuff you can safely remove (few already mentioned)
ADWLauncher.apk
Androidian.apk
AndroidTerm.apk
CMStats.apk
CMUpdateNotify.apk
CMWallpapers.apk

FileManager.apk
Livewallpapers.apk (Live wallpapers still work, just none are included)

VisualizationWallpapers.apk
I created this little list of commands every time I install a new build of Cm7. Feel free to use it. ~30 apk's or so removed. Some stuff you might want to keep if you use it, be sure to remove from the command below, such as browser or gallery. I use other applications so I remove them
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app/
rm VoiceDialer.apk Androidian.apk AndroidTerm.apk Bluetooth.apk Browser.apk Camera.apk CarHomeGoogle.apk CMStats.apk CMUpdateNotify.apk CMWallpapers.apk Contacts.apk DeskClock.apk Development.apk DSPManager.apk Email.apk FileManager.apk Gallery3D.apk GenieWidget.apk LiveWallpapers.apk MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk Mms.apk Music.apk Pacman.apk Phone.apk Protips.apk RomManager.apk SoundRecorder.apk Talk.apk TelephonyProvider.apk VisualizationWallpapers.apk
Not trying to be an ass or anything but just removing the apk does not uninstall the app. The data will still be there and the device will sill think its installed (even tho you won't see the app in the app drawer) it shouldn't cause any issues but if your removing a bunch of stuff, might as well uninstall them correctly and reclaim the space they take up.
Titanium backup would probably be the easiest way to do it but what I prefer to do is put it all into a script. That way I can run it on whatever rom I install.
An example of how to uninstall the browser via command line...
rm/system/app/Browser.apk
pm uninstall com.android.browser
It should then say "seccess"
With system apps you need to remove the apk first then run the pm uninstall name.of.package command. Hope someone found this helpful
Edit: also, I wouldn't remove, uninstall or rename talk.apk because the market uses it in some way (can't remember for what exactly but it needs it)

Are you sure ;p
None of the apk's I removed show up in "/data/app" or "/system/app". So IMO, they are gone. Even checking the "/cache/" and it's contents. No trace of them there either. (I do wipe "cache/dalvik-cache" after deleting apk's).

Well the apk is gone but the /data/data/package data is still there. Try "adb shell pm list packages" and see if any of your removed apk's package names are listed.
Ok, so this morning, I flashed the stock FB21 Rom to update profile/prl. used mobile Odin to reflash SH's recovery/Kernel. I flashed CM9 3.1 but forgot to flash gapps zip (dummy). So I'm stuck without a custom recovery. I could get mobile odin again and reflash, but alas, I can't log into my google account because I didn't flash the apps.
I got ES filemanager and tried to install the gmail.apk into the /system/apps folder but google doesn't show up as an account option and gmail won't load. I'm at work so I can't load windows odin. Any ideas?
try pushing the apps through root explorer after downloading them or just flashback and do it all over again
Thanks for the response. I was able to push the gmail apk and used es file manager to move it the /system/apps ( i think thats where it should go). What I think I need is the GoogleServicesFramework.apk installed to get google as a user account.

Just push all the gapps over if you know how. Its no different than flashing them or just odin a recovery
Ok, got it. I pulled the zip, upzipped it on my computer, pushed the GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and Vending.apk back to the phone and moved them into the \system\app folder. Rebooted and was able to log into my google account and access the market. Now to get mobile odin and recovery back. Gracias!
Is Mobile Odin Working to flash stock ROM?
Hello there
Is it really safe to uninstall native APKs on a CyanogenMod ROM ? I dislike to have several applications for the same job, we have a lot of storage problems with our old HTC Desire so a good cleaning is very important !
And if a remove some APKs in the ROM installation and repack ZIP is suicidal due to config installation ?
Do you have some tutorials and/or URLs to share ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answers
Depends on the apk's you remove. I've been removing stuff on CM7 rom always.
This can get you started on what you should and should not remove.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
You can remove the following and still have "full" functionality:
Code:
Androidian.apk (theme)
Browser.apk (if you don't use the stock one)
Calculator.apk
Cyanbread.apk
CMWallpapers.apk
DSP Manager.apk
Email.apk
Filemanager.apk
FM.apk
Gallery3D.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
Music.apk
Pacman.apk
ProTips.apk
RomManager,apk
SpareParts.apk
SoundRecorder.apk
Stk.apk
Torch.apk
ThemeChooser.apk (No themes support)
ThemeManager.apk (No themes support)
VisualizationWallpaper.apk
VoiceDialer.apk
And remove these APKs directly on the ZIP installation file, then repacking the ZIP file and launch a complete flash on it... Safe or suicidal ? (yeah I like this word )

There's nothing suicidal about accidentally removing critical apks on a rom and flashing it. I believe the worst you can get is a non-booting phone probably a usb brick maybe.. things that can still be fixed.
Flashing a corrupted hboot, now that's suicidal for your phone at least.

I knew this source, however it's out-to-date now, most APKs are missing
It basically lists everything. What "most apk's" are you talking about that are not on the list?

Do not repack the zip or you might be not able to flash it.
Just remove the files directly from zip archive.
I'm usually unpacking it just to see how big is the system to make smaller /system partition for few extra MB's internal memory. (custom hboot)
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
It's easy and fairly safe to remove and/or add apks and/or configs to a zip ROM installation, even in /system, if you know for sure they aren't used by other apks.
I've done it many times.
But sometimes they might get somewhat corrupted and the recovery won't install them. If that happens try to make small changes each time and try them out.
I always remove unwanted .apks from the downloaded .zip file / custom rom prior to install.
You should use 7zip (Freeware - Google it) to open and browse the files in the .zip and delete the unwanted .apks. Everytime I have tried with WinRar it messes up the .zip file (wont install!), only works for me with 7zip (may work with Winzip too but untested by me).
The .apks can usually be found in sd-ext\app_s\ - depending on the rom you are installing.
N.b if your rom has the directories customize\app\ - don't delete the .apks in there as they are for the setup at rom install, are are selectable via the setup/install menu, deleting them may break the setup from completing.
Many .apks are deletable for example - I delete most widgets as I use a different launcher after install so they are useless to me.
e.g
com.htc.htcmsgwidgets3d.apk
com.htc.Sync3DWidget.apk
HtcAutoRotateWidget.apk
HtcDataRoamingWidget.apk
MMS.apk is the text message app and is deletable if your going to install something in its place after install. An example would be GO SMS.
Same with browser.apk - its the browser app. I delete it then after rom install I install something like Opera, Firefox or Dolphin etc.
DockMode.apk is for if you use a dock to connect your phone to your PC or car holder. I have neither of these things so I delete this.
Music.apk is the music player, and if your gonna replace it with another music player (Poweramp or Winamp for example) or simply dont want a music player, then is deletable.
MySketcher.apk is a touch drawing app which I dont use, so I delete that.
For me Titanium Backup PRO is a very useful program for uninstalling native .apks from the rom after install. Works perfectly.
If I forget to delete some native .apks I go into it, uninstall a load, then from the menu select -> more -> Clean up the Dalvik cache and it cleans up any stuff left that relate to the native .apks I have uninstalled.
There are many lists that can be found via google or here on XDA, but I have found many to be wrong. I worked out wot I could delete with trail and error.
Takes a while, but then you find out exactly what you can and cant ditch.
For sake, here is a list I have complied and have edited based on my knowledge of removing .apks prior to removal, some may or may not apply to you rom.
SHOULDNT REMOVE:
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk -> needed for Gmail Notifications
Calendar.apk -> Calendar
CalendarProvider.apk -> Calendar Provider
Camera.apk -> Camera
CertInstaller.apk -> Certificate Installer
Contacts.apk -> Contacts
Contacts.apk -> Contacts provider
DefaultContainerService.apk -> need to install apps
DownloadProvider.apk -> managed Downloads
DrmProvider.apk -> DRM provider
Fonts.apk -> system fonts
OmaDmcClient.apk -> OTA function can not simply be erased
Phone.apk -> Phone App
Settings.apk -> Settings App

ahh,next to ics rom.
Problem 1:
Some users find that the Swype is force closing, and the absence of gallery and music in App drawer.
If you face this problem, here is what you can do:
1. Using root explorer, delete Swype.apk from System/app (or) uninstall swype using link2sd.
2. Try looking for play music and gallery ics apk in system /app. If present MOVE them to SD card using root explorer. Tap rw at the top to move.
3. Reboot.
4. Install the following attached apk's in the post: SwypeICS.apk, and GalleryICS.apk, Google play music. apk or from the apks which you just moved to your SD card. For better performance of play music, again move the apk to System /app...and set permissions to rwrr. (Tick the first two boxes in the first row and the 1st box in the other two rows) and reboot.
5.Enjoy.
Problem 2:
ICS Gallery is not working on my phone.
Solution:Have you done it properly? Try again. I've fixed the link. Still if it doesn't work, I'm afraid you will have to install the old Gingerbread Gallery. Copy and paste gallery3D.apk from attachments into System/app using root explorer, set permissions to rwrr and reboot.
Problem 3:
Status Bar does not appear.
Solution: Re Install the ROM from beginning. It happened because the flashing was not done properly.
