Goals of this thread:
1) List apps that come on stock HTC Desire ROM, that are safe to remove.
2) List apps that should not be removed. (E.g. known to cause instability issues after being removed).
Remarks:
- Please focus on apps on the HTC Desire stock ROM, (Android 2.1 or 2.2 at this moment).
- It assumes you have already rooted your HTC Desire, but do not plan to swap the stock ROM. (Do not comment that it's possible to install a cooked ROM that has removed the bloatware, assume people prefer this route for whatever reason).
- Please do not discuss HOW to root, or which are best tools for removing apps.
Ok, I hope I didn't put anyone off to freely post in this thread!!
This isn't a development issue, and thus, should be posted in the General forum.
Added to this, there are already lists out there.

Acolwill,
The thread intends to tackle getting to a personalized custom ROM, but not taking someone's cooked ROM.
Approach: Starting with stock 2.2 Froyo, uninstalling apps and services until you have the ROM you want, sans bloatware, tailored to your preferences.
Bloatware is marked as a system app. In order to uninstall system apps you need to root the Desire, and use a tool that is capable of removing any app or service (such as Titanium Backup for example). Therefore it is crucial to make a distinction which apps and services are safe to remove, and which are not.
It is development in the sense that you are cooking your own ROM, 'live' on your phone. Sort of..
Please be helpful and point to the lists you found.
I browsed and searched for some time, but what is there is not for the Desire, and you'd have to weed through long lists of apps that are not installed on our device. Also those lists are confusing as people simply list that they took an app off, but not what the impact was.
Anyway, let's see, if no reactions then I may be the only one in need of the list, .
Now where are those links !!!
searching and searching for save to remove apps on stock desire......
without any luck sofar...
It's part of the leedroid wiki but should apply to every sense rom.

Hello guys !
It's my first topic on XDA but I watch XDA's activity for 2/3 years.
Now, I have a serious problem and I didn't see anything about him.
I bought my tab 3 10.1 on a french distributor (RueDuCommerce). It works well (as good as can a tab 3). I root this tablet and install some ROM (to remove the boring TouchWiz). It works but big apps like XBMC crashed. I think that's because it uses too many memory.
I gave it to my mum, so I flashed a stock ROM via this site. After a while, every apps clashed, at start or in use.
So decided to flash a stock ROM from Sammobile and it's the same.
Can you help me, by show me how to restore everything correctly to use my warranty ? Or fix this bug ? Because it's unusuable :/
Thanks for your help ! I will be attentive to your answers.
Nover
I've found the problem but I don't know how to fix it.
There is a issue when the RAM is overload. I can go through it by clean current application.
I must found a way to do it automatically. An idea ?
Having just rooted my SM-T325 LTE (thanks to the Towelroot approach outlined elsewhere in this forum) , I'm ready to freeze and then permanently remove some bloatware. I'd be interested in what built-in apps forum members have successfully (i.e., w/o subsequent "gotchas") removed from TabPro devices. Any particular favorites to get rid of? Thanks.
Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum.
I bought the Zuk Z2 (standard) from Oppomart and everything is fine, except for one thing. I installed the Malwarebytes app, which found 1 malware/trojan named: "Android/Trojan.Spy.Smforw.l". It can be found in /system/priv-app/Liulangbao/Liulangbao.apk.
I'm pretty new to Chinese phones, and with help from the ZUI OS 1.9.044 ROM posted on this forum (along with an explanation of how to flash it) I managed to flash the original ROM (which turned out identical to the ROM from Oppomart). Sadly, it still contained the aforementioned malware.
Then I tried removing this app/malware with several apps from the Google Play Store, which didn't work (they need root access).
I found an explanation of how to root my Zuk Z2 via http://androiding.how/root-zuk-z2-and-z2-pro-install-twrp-recovery/. That website mentioned XDA as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk...andard-pro-t3415395/post67680272#post67680272.
Do you reckon this is a trusted method? I have never rooted a phone before (it was quite an achievement for me to even flash a "new" ROM). Will I be at risk of bricking the phone?
My questions to you are: is this app/malware very hazardous? What does it do? Is my phone safe to use? What is the easiest way to delete it? Or should I try a completely different approach to this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help and please let me know if you need additional information!

Google tells me that liulangbao is a traffic exchange bot, similar to Jingling(this is for PC), people use it to exchange "visits" on others website(most of them are ad to make cash) with their own visit to others in background, it will for so use resources, internet data, and maybe install other viruses through malware-sites. I think you can delete that app just rooting your device, installing lucky patcher and if it finds that app in system you can directly uninstall it. Otherwise use root, and an root explorer to find that .apk and delete it.
However you'll need to root your device in any way.
That web-site seems legit, it publics various root methods for multiple devices, and it's well organized.
Give it a shot, being rooted is better than botted

Thank you very much KronozFX for your advice! I may give that a shot. Do you think the risk of bricking the phone is high using this rooting method?
Does anyone else have advice?

Did he remove Liuliangbao as well? Would he (and you) be willing to supply a detailed description for a noob like me of how to root it and delete Liuliangbao?

He rooted as the guide you linked, and then he used lucky patcher to remove it i think

Can you give a quick review about this phone? I'm interested in it. Any issues? (Except the malware software that you already mentioned) Pros and cons? Thanks

Sure, no worries. It's actually not my phone as I bought it for the missus. She likes the phone a lot (coming from a Huawei Ascend P7), let me break it down in the pros and cons she has encountered.
Pros:
- It's very quick
- It snaps photos right the instance you press the button (no delays)
- Picture quality is good (although we both aren't too critical)
- Good battery life. It lasts a lot longer than her previous phone (on lollipop with a 2500 mAh battery which she often had to connect to a powerbank during the day)
- The fingerprint scanner is a treat. It works every time and quickly as well (you don't have to wake the phone/screen before the scanner works)
- The size of the phone. She would have preferred an even smaller device, but there's no real contender in the sub 5" category.
- Premium look and feel
Cons:
- Still some Chinese although language is set to English (e.g. the weather app which is embedded in the homescreen)
- Some apps won't work (properly). For example Twilight (the app that filters blue light) crashes immediately when opened and the phone won't receive messages in WhatsApp if the app isn't opened (and locked via recent apps). So she had to choose a different blue light filter app and she needs to constantly have WhatsApp opened.
- No Dutch (which isn't too big of an issue for her)
I hope this was of help to you!
Hi!
If you don't want root your device then you can install a firewall app and block that Liulangbao app.

Great story dude. It was like you accidentally murdered someone and asking for help.
Hello All, I know I'm late to the party but I just grabbed a Tab Pro 12.2 VZW version(SM-P905V). I am desperately trying to root to eventually push Linageos. I've tried both Towelroot and the eMMC method as my CID is 15. I wasn't successful on either. Towel told me my device wasn't supported. My attempt to push "COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_.........via odin failed. Your help and support would be greatly appreciated.
@gixermann I'm afraid you selected the wrong forum as you have a Note Pro P905V not a Tab Pro T905.
Here is the correct one.
Hope you'll find something there as I've read that Verizons versions are sometimes blocked for custom ROMs.
Acc to the file name posted you were trying to flash a Galaxy S5 G900V ROM onto your device you've named P905V. Really, what for?

Thank you greatly.
I thought all the 12.2's were a part of the Tab Pro family..Now I know. Ironickly when I did a search there was mentioning of the 905V having the same architecture as the S5 and the same method could be used. I will research further in the correct group thank you.
