What pre-installed apps can be uninstalled (ae Facebook) - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I hate bloatware as many, also I cindide Facebook a bloatware (I still open it thru the browser where it don't eat cpu and ram).

Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Instagram aren't actually installed, what exists are stubs that act sa if there is an update so it can be installed in /data/app/ rather than taking up what I assume is the little precious space that exists in /system/

Almost all of them apart from the likes of messages, mail, people and phone etc.

Desire stock apps can i remove them?

Ok i searched a litle and i did not find a thread with something like this for the desire.
I know it is possible to remove system apps link after you root the desire (and i intent to). But the thing is, what apps can i remove? Will remove them free some apps space?
I dont use stocks, facebook, tweeter, footprints, friend stream, teeter, quickoffice and News.
I want to use one of the mail applications gmail or mail aplications not both.
I use the clock with weather widget so i suppose i cannot uninstall News and weather application.
I found this list but is a bit dificult to understand all the dependencies the * ones...
So may question is what apps can i remove (from the list above) without messing up the system or other apps and if it frees some of the memory in the apps memory.

Most of the apps you mentioned you can remove. However, it will only free up space on /system, which means you won't be able to use it to install applications unless you manually push them via ADB into /system/app.

... or you could use Titanium Backup to freeze them, which would inactivate them without actually deleting them.
So even if i delete them from the system i will not free space!!!
So what i can do is after uninstall the apps that are in System move some of the apps that i want to maintain into the system/apps (thats the place were the apps of the system are right?).
So this way i dont free space for apps but i occupy space that i normally couldn't use with the apps that i realy use...
Hum ill try to search a bit about moving apps.
Howl you know any links to speed up the search ?????
Thanks for your help...

[Q] How much trouble would this include? Altering 'share' menu

I do not want to share via picasa, or flickr, or peep, or facebook with htc sense, or 'mail'. Only bluetooth, gmail, facebook, messages, and photobucket, which I all share regularly with.
How to delete. Another thread said to alter the manifest.xml files that tell the apps to point to the share menu. Where might the location of these files be for these stock apps?

[Q] Can't add Facebook to the list of accounts

No problem with linkedin and others. But when I try to add Facebook, I'm kicked back to the list of accounts.
Tried to reinstall facebooks, tried to clear the FB data ad cache. Even was not possible to add FB account after installing a stock 4.0.4 ROM from google (after full phone erase).
Google and FB are not friends anymore?
Facebook's Fault
Facebook never made or modified an ICS version for there app. Consequently you cannot add account and phone will not sync. There are numerous fix solutions with root. My Gnex is not rooted so I simply use an app called SyncMyPix in Play Store. This app will at least sync you photos for contact purposes. Facebook just need to optimize for ICS and things will work better!
The issue is actually Facebook not using the correct API for contact sync and hasn't moved on the issue for over a year: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/google-disables-contact-sync-in-facebook-for-android-only-nexus/
If you want a deeper integration on stock android like status updates in you "people" app you can get something like HaxSync (don't know if there is a better or free solution).

Waiting with thanks in advance..
I don't think removing all these will make your device fly
If any battery monitor showing any of these application draining juice then you can remove/disable.
Truly speaking i have all these and neither of it even records 0.1% juice at end of the day unless i have used that application.
Now if you saying about RAM, Android itself have inbuilt LMK (low memory killing)mechanism, whenever it needs RAM, it will remove unused application from background.
If still you needs more RAM (Cosmetically) you can find option in development option in setting to limit application number in background, though i can't say weather it will be helpful to save juice or raise performance.

Instead of removing these, use Titanium Backup (you must be rooted) or similar to freeze them instead. Why? Sometimes you need them, and when you do you'll wish you hadn't uninstalled them completely. Also, a lot of the built-in application reside in the system partition, so removing them isn't going to get you any more storage space. What you really want to do is stop them from loading into RAM and hogging space if you don't use them at all. Freezing (i.e., disabling) them should do this. At the very least they won't run in the background and eat battery.
Also, some other apps/system services may link to these and if you uninstall them suddenly the system stops working the way it should (be especially careful of Samsung apps). When that happens you may need them to get the system back to where it should be. Unfreezing is a lot easier than trying to find them online or in a backup.
Finally -- before you do anything, backup, backup, backup.

Thank you very much.
Don't forget about Greenify, easy to use yet powerful.

Well I remove quite a bit out of my system/app folder and I see my android system battery usage drop significantly during the day, so I can't say it won't help as long as you don't use those items.
However all the things you listed are OK to remove, but I do recommend making a backup of the app folder at least. Ideally do a whole nandroid backup first.
When removing them, be sure to delete the apk and the odex file for the respected apk.
There's also alot more you can delete without losing much on the phone besides NFC which I never use anyway.
Lol i remove all system apps from samsung (except the snote, calendar etc.,) so far everything is fine

[Q] FB messenger battery killer for The N7

Hello,
Well I have noticed that the FB messenger is quite the battery killer for our beloved nexus. In fact, one time, messenger consumed more battery than ~6h screen time!! WTH? I know that FB apps are badly coded but messenger is not that much battery-consuming on my Xperia S which I find very weird. On one hand, I had to uninstall messenger because I am not ready to sacrifice that much juice for a mere messaging app but on the other hand, I have so much people that only use FB.
For the foreseeable future, I can still use the FB app itself but soon they will disable messaging.
Do you know any good apps that might replace the FB messenger app?
Thanks for your help guys

I don't know of any apps that actively replace Facebook messenger but equally I haven't noticed Messenger burning through that much juice on my N7 2013 either. Sometimes I find it skulking in the background doing sod-all other than siphoning system resources, once killed it doesn't seem to come back unless I prompt it to though.
I do agree that FB and FB messenger are poorly coded though. I wouldn't bother with them personally, but like you I have friends who just won't migrate to G+! Fools.
