We need "ICS apps safe to remove" thread.
Since ics is new and different from gb,we need to make a "Barebone rom" guide and post what apps can safely be removed.
I agree i did some with bloat freezer but a list would be nice

Now that we have achieved root in ICS , shall we start a safelist of stock apps we can remove without ill effect?
feel free to submit your list. crossix you might already have a safe list and would love it here if you see this thread
I just rooted today but am at work so I will edit my post later with my list once I can take a closer look.

Why not just use ICS built in disable app functionality? I have disabled a number of apps and it seems great!

well i always have been more of a fan of using titanium backup to completely get rid of bloat. also i dont believe you can disable a system installed app even with root. titanium can delete anything :-D

I didn't think there was too much bloat on the A100, even with the ICS upgrade, apart from Aupeo, Acer Media and a couple other apps I barely notice them. Nigh on a stock build, thankfully
What apps did you uninstall and how did you get them uninstalled? I just uninstalled several of them with Titanium Backup, but when I rebooted they were still there. Some of them I was not able to uninstall, error message Cannot remove system app. Failed to locate the apk file.
Use Root Explorer and delete the applications contained in the location: /Flexroom.

I hate to come here and ask but i was on my phone i ran across a list of things you can and shouldnt freeze on TB. For the life of me I cant find it. I wrote down the title but typing it in wont find it. Can someone please direct me to the right link please? Thanks
I think it was stickied somewhere, church apps and theme

This is for the I-777, but a lot of the stuff is the same and also applies

What tools are there to remove bloatware?
Calks bare rom converter its in the themes and apps section

There is always JRummy's Rom Toolbox Lite !
Or if you are trying to modify a ZIP file, you could always just open it and delete anything you consider "unneeded" yourself, I found I actually learned a fair bit doing it that way.
Another option is that you can use titanium backup to "freeze" the apps.
They are effectively removed, but you can "thaw" them back to normal in the event that it messes something up.
I think you need the paid version of TB to do that though, but I like doing that before removing the apps.
I have used noth the ROM Toolbox and Titanium backup. I prefer titanium because you dont fullyt remove it, but by freezing it you take it out of the picture without having to worry about seriously deleting something you shouldnt have.
Use titanium backup free to uninstall system apks.

Bloatware List?
Anyone know of a list anywhere that shows what software/processes are installed which could be frozen safely?

There are a couple of lists floating around but I haven't seen them in some time and some of them are either very outdated or for a different model phone (a lot of apps are still the same however).
Use the search at the very top of every XDA screen to search all the XDA forums. Learning to search is half the battle, keep search queries simple at first. Most questions can be answered by using the search tools here.

+1 to using Titanium or something similar to freeze apps.
First of all, always backup your phone prior to going on a binge removing or freezing apps. Freezing is a much better alternative than deleting/removing apps because once they're gone, some of them may be very difficult to get back.

What I did was made a list from different developers rom. Like naoekrom beta 2.1 he list all the bloatware he took out his rom in his second post. Whenever I go to a different rom I grab my list... Go to root explorer app and under system/app delete those on my list...

i didnt see any thread in here for the safe to remove apps on the Note 2
anybody have a list?
I think this is a legitimate question. For those of us that choose to remove system apps without using an Aroma type program we can really mess up functionality if we delete the wrong stuff. I would like to see a thread where a qualified Dev makes a list of all the system apps that come pre installed and tells us whether they are safe to remove or not
IIRC that stupid Sprint Connections Optimizer can at best only be frozen...if you try to remove it bad things happen. Most of the other bloat you can live without ime.

Yeah I've seen lists made for other devices
Earlier I removed one I was almost was harmless to remove but then my notification bar disappeared. Luckily I recovered it

Titaniums Backup is your friend. Backup everything, then freeze, test. If ok, then delete and test. If ok, cool. If not, restore or unfreeze.

Hello Everyone,
Since it looks like I will be stuck on OTA 4.3 version for awhile,I might as well play with it for awhile... I was just wondering what would be the best way to de-bloat this sucker? I am rooted already and have CWM 6.0.4.3 installed. Has there been a script developed already like Ashman's for this new version?
Thank you in advance!

Install titanium backup then delete whatever apps you want.

Is there possibly a "safe" list for the new version?
Thank you

I haven't seen one yet but you can definetly delete carrier apps like my account etc and google apps like google maps safely.

Also, make sure you make a nandroid backup before you delete any system files with titanium. There is no other way to go back if you delete the wrong app and/or softbrick.

I haven't seen a new list or script. An old list I came across has a post to a docs spreadsheet for the SGS3

Please understand that I am not vouching for anything on that list, even the things I have frozen with TiBu
Thank you all for your help with this. I got rid of a bunch of apps I didn't want and things are running smoothly

I have found as others have if you turn off Paper Artist that Gallery force closes when you attempt to share a picture. Not sure if using Tibu will cause the same issue, I haven't re-rooted yet. You may want to test if you got rid of Paper Artist. Just a thought.

I uninstalled a bunch of stuff and was getting a bunch of force closes. I then decided to switch to quantum room and kernel for the debloating they did and the speed and reliability
