what is safe to move to the external sd card and what should be left inside the internal storage? the reason why i ask is because i just got an sd card and would like my pics and stuff like that on my ext sd card, but then again i have moved some apps to sd card, so i dont know what folders are safe to transfer to the external sd card....
From my experience anything not originally installed (with rom or stock) in the system/app folder is safe to run from an external sd card.
i guess what im trying to say is the files installed in internal memory are normally files that get installed on to the sd card when there is no internal memory partition... so what is safe to transfer over from the internal memory to the external?
Sorry if i wasn't clear. Anything that wasn't installed stock on the phone in the /system/apps folder should be safe to move to an external card. for example...
my system/apps has.

everything else is safe to run from anywhere the phone has access to.
(some of these may even be safe to move but I've never tried)
so if it's not in the list its a good bet it will run from anywhere.

You can move your pics to the external sd card. I do. Apps are best to state on internal. You have 2gb for apps so plenty of room. Moving apps to sd slows then down.

Since I am a relatively new user of xda-developers forums, I can't post in the development forum yet, so I'll put my question here. (A quick scan through the forums and a search didn't turn up what I wanted.)
I really like the CR Mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928250) for my Slide but even with putting apps on the SD card, I seem to be running out of space a lot. So, I can't keep as many apps as I would like on my phone. (It seems like I have a lot less room than I had with stock 2.1.) I even removed a couple of apks I knew I wouldn't use, but I didn't touch a lot of them because I didn't know what they do.
So, does anyone know what all of the apk's are for and are there any that are necessary for the phone to work properly? Or is there some sort of master list of apk's out there that say what they are and what they do?
Also, If you've decrapified your CR Mod before flashing, what did you remove, and how is it for you?
Or, is the decrapification not needed with ROM Manager and Dark Tremor's a2sd to move the dalvik cache?
Here is a good starting point. The list of all the apk's in the system\app folder:

bloatwares are those applications that samsung installed for the phone by default. basically, they just add on memory. they're apps that are unnecessary. you can free up memory by uninstalling them.

Yea those were stock on the Bell ICS Rom so I deleted them
Thanks, hope it works on my SG2
I found the best and easiest way to do this for actually removing apps is to root the phone first then download the Terminal Emulator from the app store and start it up. In the command prompt first type "su" which logs you in and then mount the phone to rw by typing in "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system". I read its best to mount it back to ro, but I don't know the exact command. I'd assume with ro instead of rw in the command. To bring up the applist type in "ls system/apps" which I did on the computer with adb.exe so I can copy the list. To remove an app just type "rm system/app/(nameofapp).apk". Some threads say to move the app to internal storage and also to do a back up of the app, but I haven't figured out how to do any of that yet.

Anyone want to help join out and make a remove list? I know there were a few listed in the deodex thread with the flash remove app script that I will try.
MadBullBunny said:
I searched a bit, but found a list for other phones that seem to have some different apps. Is there possibly a list of what apps to disable in the phone to get vanilla as possible without doing any hacking? Coming from a windows phone and this being my first android, this OS is making me crazy with all the pointless bs that's plastered all over it. I don't use yellowpages so why do I need that in my contacts?
A list of which apps do what and also what apps are ok to clear data from. I removed all my contacts accidentally once and also all my ringtones/alarms are gone from clearing data.
Or are we going to have to make a list ourselves?? There is only about 400 un-uninstallable apps in the phone we could go through.

There is a flashable zip that removes unwanted apps. Probably not exactly what YOU want removed, but its a start. There's also a deodexing zip....

Updated the first post of the thread.
That is some list you got their. I've removed about 40 apps myself. But why not just do this in titanium backup? Just do a full backup. Then do a batch uninstall. Uncheck all then just go through the list and check what you don't want. Then just hit the checkmark button at the top right. Done. Sooooo much easier. Not to mention you have a backup of everything just in case.
Edit: Then clear cache and dalvik and reboot.

It is always better to freeze the apps (if you are using titanium backup). Let the phone function for a day or two.
If there is no problem, then one can permanently delete the frozen apps.

Agreed. Also I'd like the modify the remove bloatware script in this forum for my own needs. after i've tested all apps frozen, of course.
SemcEmail.apk is not bloatware if you use anything aside from Gmail. I made the mistake of deleting that and I could no longer access my work email which uses Exchange.

He was just listing all the apps in the system/app folder not just apps that can be removed.

Although Titanium is an essential in my toolbox I still get quite a bit of use from this good ole freebie. Works flawlessly for moving system apps back & forth(backup & restore only, does not remove).
Either regular install or manually drop in system/app folder-set permissions. eb

Apps That Shouldn't be un-installed/disabled-
Rather than have a list of apps we CAN un-install/disable we should make one that includes apps that SHOULDN'T be un-installed/disabled that would cause system instability. That would make for a short list I assume.
I'm looking to remove all att apps & google apps like google music & movies. Is it safe to remove them & what should I be looking for? I have rooted my Ion and have flashtool installed on my pc.

Look in the /system/app folder and just look for them by name or icon.

Hello
I'm making a kind of ROM Cleaner flashable zip file to easily remove bloat after flashing various roms, though it isn't customizable as ROM Cleaner is (except for editting the updater-script manually).
Though i'm not sure which apps are safe to remove and which aren't.
There are some bloat in /data/, such as Twitter and Google Plus, those are safe to remove no problem, but my issue lies within the /system/ apps.
I've gone through the system folder of my own phone (currently running ARHD 1.0) and compiled a list of apps that i'm fairly certain will cause no issues if removed, but there are some that i'm unsure of.
List of apps i've coded to remove:
Data:
Adobe Reader
Google Plus
Twitter
System:
AllShareCastWidget.apk
AllShareMediaServer.apk
AllSharePlay.apk
AllShareService.apk
AnalogClockSimple.apk
ChatON_MARKET.apk
ClockPackage.apk
DeepSea.apk
DigitalClock.apk
DualClockAnalog.apk
DualClockDigital.apk
GameHub_2.0_ICS.apk
GoogleSearchWidget.apk
HelpHub.apk
LearningHub_HD.apk
LuminousDots.apk
MusicHub_30.apk
NoiseField.apk
PhaseBeam.apk
SamsungApps.apk
SamsungWidget_FavoriteApp.apk
SimpleAlarmClock.apk
SimpleFavoritesWidget.apk
SNS.apk (It had the official Facebook icon, so i guess it's facebook in disguise)
SSuggest.apk
Talk.apk
talkback.apk
VoiceRecorder.apk
WebManual.apk
YahoonewsWidget.apk
YahoonewsDaemon.apk
YahoostockWidget.apk
YahoostockDaemon.apk
Apps i'm not sure if i can remove without breaking something / removing something vital:
DioDict3Service.apk
DirectConnect.apk
DirectShareManager.apk
DropboxOOBE.apk
DSMForwarding.apk
DSMLawmo.apk
Hearingdro.apk
Kies.apk
kieswifi.apk
MusicFX.apk
PhotoWall.apk
ReadersHub2_MediaBridge.apk
ReadersHub2_PHN_Main_user.apk
ReadersHub2_PHN_Store.apk
SamsungAppsUNA3.apk
Samsungservice.apk
ALL the "sCloud" apps, such as sCloudBackupApp.apk, sCloudSyncBrowser.apk, etc etc.
SecBrowser.apk (Guess it's just stock browser?)
Stk.apk
Tag.apk
VideoHub.apk
WaterRipple.apk (i have water ripples on my lock screen, guess it depends on this apk?)
WeatherWall.apk
WfdBroker.apk
Note: There are some apps that would be considered bloat that i have chosen not to remove, as i'm just testing this zip for myself at the moment, and i prefer to keep those apps (such as Accuweather widget, Polaris viewer, popup browser).
If any of the apps that i listed (or some that i forgot to list) are fine to remove, could someone please give me some feedback?
I can easily give you the flashable zip after i'm done with it, if anyone wants it (though i'm fairly new at this).

First you run under cwm this file from Android Revolution HD 14.0 thanks to maik http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827817 and it removes the above apps....
Below you will find my system/app folder....as you can see there is a lot of samsung apps whixc are frozen....you cannot belive the battery life after this and the ram it frees....
If you wish you can apply it, you just use root explorer and add a dot everywhere i write frozen.....AND EVERYTHING WORKS WITH NO FCS
Mybattery after this with light use and bluetooth always open it lasts about 7 to 8 days.

Online they say that smartcardservice.apk is used by android to communicate with the sim card. Doesn't freezing it affect your cell service?
Thanks for compiling this list btw.
