I've found a lot of list from other phones, but none that are evo specific (not sure if it matters)
So far I've removed:
Flickr.apk
HtcFootprints.apk
HtcFootprintsWidget.apk
HtcTwitter.apk
SprintTVWidget.apk
Sprint_App_Updater.apk
Sprint_TV.apk
Sprint_NASCAR.apk
Sprint_Qik.apk

Sprint_Promotion.apk
Twitter.apk
com.amazon.mp3.apk
com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
com.htc.StockWidget.apk
teeter.apk
sfl-prod-release.apk
Are there other apps such as Friendstream/Stocks that are safe to remove? Just want to be sure before I do anything. Thanks for the help.
Im guessing you must be rooted to do that.
Yes friendstream and stocks are safe I removed them.. I liked the system app remover app. For a Buck its nice and don't have to search for it in a explorer.

I like doing things in a bash Guess I'm just used to it from my linux days, heh.
Also, thanks for the info. I think I deleted something wrong...
I removed the following apps and now my accounts and sync is stalling.
DCSStock.apk
FriendStream.apk
Stock.apk
com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk
I think it might have been DCSStock.apk. Going to try to back it up and see if that fixes it.
[Edit]
Anyone have a copy of DCSStock.apk (OTA rooted 2.2 for EVO)? I fail at backing up. lol

ADB
You can always just use ADB to remove as well. Just as easy. Just remember when using ADB to remove unwanted apps to remove the apk as well as the odex file (if applicable).
The sync lock is caused by friendstream.

I used Titanium Backup to remove some like Amazon MP3, Nascar and Football and everything was fine. Then I used Titanium to "freeze" a whole bunch of apps, and my phone started acting flaky--sense seemed to crash & restart, and once my phone just rebooted itself while sitting idle on the desk.
I unfroze all the frozen apps and it's working fine again. Was the "stocks" app causing trouble, or was it friendstream? I'd like to get rid of both...
Also, do I need both "Facebook" and "Facebook for HTC Sense"? Seems like it doesn't work right with either one frozen.
The stock .apks are safe to remove but don't mess with friendstream, for some reason HTC really made it an integral part of Sense, the widget is safe to remove, but not the friendstream.apk it self. As far as I know (someone can correct me if I'm wrong), you can delete both Facebook and Facebook for HTC and re-download them from the market if you want, I've seen a lot of ROMs ship with both removed.
Here's a good post that has a (WIP) list of apps and what they do...

Is there a list of what each apk does so we can actually decide if it is blotware or not? Some people for example can actually use and may be paying form T-Mobile Caller ID app.
Google is not really helpful when searching for these, most results are similar lists like this.
I tried googling this but googling anything "gapps" turns into an "apps" nightmare search. hahah
Anyways, does anyone know how to edit a Google Gapps file to remove some of the apps?
Everytime I flash a new CM based ROM, I have to reflash Gapps. Which means I have to go back into Titanium Manager and re-remove the google apps that I won't be using. It gets tiring having to do this all the time.
It would be a lot easier if I could just flash the Gapps that I need.
Hmm, maybe I should just skip flashing gapps and install only the apks I need? Well, some ROM's (like Slim) require a modified google apps. So I'd rather just remove what I don't like.

Well you can open the zip file and remove the apk's from the /system/ folder.

As enzyme said, all you have to do is open up the zip, delete what you don't want from /system/app, then zip it right back up and you have your own "custom" flashable gapps zip. Just have to remember to do that same patch each time a new gapps update is released. I personally remove GMail, calandar, contacts, and talk from my old phone that I let the kid use for games, so they don't screw it up.
And, FWIW, here's how those system apk filenames map to application names, so you know what's safe to delete:
Code:
$ for app in mnt/system/app/*apk; do printf "%30s : %s\n" "$(basename $app)" "$(aapt dump badging "$app"|grep label-en|cut -d: -f2)"; done

Thanks guys, that's really helpful!
The one post I found on Google made it seem like it was impossible to add apk's to gapps. But it didn't talk about removing apk's.

So am I to understand, just remove the line item completely?
Well, it's not working for me just yet (on justinbeam inverted GAPPS). But I might have screwed something up. I used TWRP to flash the new gapps that I had removed some APK's from and re-zipped. It just said "FAILED to install".
I'll try a couple more times.
Arghh, not working for me.
I can installed the unedited Justinbeam inverted gapps but not the one that I removed the email/talk apk's from. That one fails.
I'll probably try again sometime with the normal CM GAPPS and CWM.
Ya me too. I tried adding an apk and it fails. I was hoping to cut out a step I do when updating my ROM.
Why not use the aroma JusTunBean gapps? Let's you select which apps to install during flash. Also has options for inverted or standard.

I've flashed several ROM's and get flakey results with JusTunBean too often, to really consider it to be reliable. I only use the standard 4.1 Gapps now.
The method I've ended up going with is to flash gapps.
Then I go into Titanium Backup and freeze all the Gapps apps (and other ROM related apps) that I don't use.
Then everytime I flash an updated ROM and flash Gapps again, Titanium remembers to freeze those apps. So I only have to do it that first time only.
NOTE: These applications are for a different phone, however most of them match what's on the Optimus G and I just thought I'd throw it up here for everyone's knowledge.

It depends on which APK's you use E.g. Calender, Samsung account etc but I will try and write up a list of "safe to remove" APK's.
I know this answer wont be much help! But give me a bit of time and will get that posted.
It is easier for me to write down what is left on my system
So, here it is. Every other .apk and it's appropriate lib has been removed from my system folder. I have also deleted kies folder from system/etc and samsung tts folder from system/tts. The only thing that is broken is settings/about device/ system updates, if you try to open it settings will force close. That is not an issue for me as we are never going to get any updates. Some of the apps below can also be deleted (such as the calendar, clock widgets, wallpapers, fm radio etc.) according to the users preferences. Also, don't forget to replace the crucial apps you removed, like in my case TouchWiz Launcher and Keyboard, with the alternative ones. I have not removed gapps completely, just the apks, so I could easily put them back if I need to (I only need play store from time to time, and the phone runs pretty smooth and fast without them).
List:
Code:
AnalogClockSimple.apk
AutoPreconfig.apk
BadgeProvider.apk
BluetoothAvrcp.apk
BluetoothMap.apk
CertInstaller.apk
ClipboardSaveService.apk
ContextProvider.apk
CSC.apk
DefaultContainerService.apk
DrmProvider.apk
DualClockAnalog.apk
FallingLights.apk
FmRadio.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk (this is needed for the first boot, I deleted it after)

Try this.
Finally, I've tried to delete those bloatwares according to the reference above, I mean, you know, I left listed bloatwares on my phone.. and it really is surprisingly amazing..
no lag, more responsive, etc..
however (there's a however), I have this LINE app, I'm sure most of you know it, it wouldn't work anymore.. when I open the app, it just blackscreen and return to homescreen, or shows pop up that says "unfortunately LINE has stopped responding; wait ok" something like that..
what to do?
thank you in advance,,
cheers..
update: now, even google play won't work..

Just tried it. LINE works great without Gapps. Even tested Google Play. Google Play works when I push Phonesky.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk back to system folder. You must have done something wrong when removing bloatware.

You could try to leave Google Play Services as well. I cannot remember the exact name of the .apk file it is something GMSCore.... They automatically install on my phone when I start Play Store.. Maybe that is the issue. Also, try clearing the framework and play store data and then reboot your device.
i just unnistall some samsung app and make my device smoother
