So I read zergburger's post about apps that are safe to delete. A couple I didn't see mentioned were Qik Video, Nova, and Blockbuster. Maybe I missed them but are these ok to delete?
I would freeze them instead of deleting them if your not sure which are good to delete

They're all safe to delete. You can back them up in titanium just in case you ever wanted to use them again.
I deleted all 3, with no issues.

Just lookup "Root Uninstaller" in the Market. It let me finally get rid of the NASCAR app.
Isn't it just a matter of removing the apk from the /system/app folder? I'm sure there's more to it, so hopefully someone more in the know can chime in.
My recommendation- Use Titanium Backup to do it. It's easy as can be and you can also back up the app before deleting it just in case you want it back.
If you have root explorer you can go to /system/app and set it to RW as opposed to RO and delete the apks of what you don't want....

I'm not at my MacBook at the moment, but if you do a search for safe to remove apps for the EVO, you will find several lists. There is also a sense removal script floating around that you can alter to your liking. If you're new to rooting, I would suggest you use the Titanium Backup app and "freeze" the items you don't want instead of removing them. If, by chance, the frozen item causes problems or you find it to be something you need, you can always "defrost".

Here's my situation: experimented with removing some system apps today (mostly bloatware) on my rooted stock ec05 Epic and I decided to try getting rid of "System Updates 1.0.0". Then, I remembered I sometimes use the update prl function to reconnect my 3g if JuiceDefender doesn't kick it back on automatically after I wake the screen up, so I popped back into Titanium Backup to restore the app. It's been in the process of restoring it for the past 30 min and I'm not optomistic anymore. My question is this: is there a way to get this system app back short of ODINing back to complete stock? I lurk a lot on the Epic boards but I haven't experimented a lot with my Epic itself, so I'm ignorant when it comes to these tricks. Thanks for any help I receive.
Cheers

Try reflashing the rom and you cant backup sys apps with titanium
I reccomend you use sdx stock app remover it pretty easy and backups too and it doesnt take forever like titanium

Damn. I was afraid of that. It's funny because TB restores most of Tue other apps just fine, just not System Update and the drm files.
How about this: I located the apks for these three in my TB folder and extracted them to the sex backup folder. I'm trying to restore them via sex tool now, but I always get an error saying I'm out of space, and SD maid doesn't turn up anything I can delete to make room. If I could make room, would that method work, and if so, how should I make room?

Use SDX to backup and delete the Asphalt demo and you will have room.
I'd already deleted asphault before this, so I'm sol there.
In fact, I tried something else this morning andachived a stellar bootloop, so I Odin's and am going to use sdx. Thanks for all the help!

Get rid of the double-ended dildo. That'll free up a fair amount of space.

lol. That's actually the ever-helpful Gingerbread keyboard on my NookColor. Gotta love it.
The latest paid version of Titanium Backup allows the deletion and restoration of system apps. You should see a red Happy face, IIRC.

It came up after a lot of clicking. Made my own list and removed apps. Making a list to automate the process with titanium.
Wasn't sure how to delete my post.

So, I've used Titanium Backup to freeze a lot of stuff on my T999. One strange thing is Zynga Games always unfreezes itself after a reboot. I've tried to use the Android "Disable" feature as well, and same result. Upon reboot, it's back.
Anyone know why? And can I just delete this? So far I haven't deleted anything, as I'm still getting to know the GS3. I like to Freeze when possible, but it's just not working for Zynga Games.

Just delete it.
Thanks. While I'm on the subject of deletion, here's what I have frozen/disabled. Is any of this stuff pretty safe to delete? I'm only interested in deleting true junk, and not stuff I might find useful in the future.

i would say they're pretty safe to delete, but make a nandroid backup just in case i had the same problem with zynga enabling itself again after freezing it

Before you delete any apps, make sure you do a backup of it. Why? Future OTA update will fail if they detect missing apps if you're 100% stock. Just restore when you get OTA in the future.
