So being the impatient soul I am, right after I got permanent root, I decided to jump into Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware. I was so impatient, that I totally forgot to backup the system apps I deleted to a backup folder on my SDcard, so now those apks are gone. My question is now, if an OTA becomes available, am I going to have problems again, just like with Paul's Goggles app?
If so, what do you suggest I do? I am guessing now that now root has been achieved, we can install those apps to the system just fine again. Can someone upload these apks for these system apps, so I just feel on the safe side and I have backups? I would greatly appreciate it...

Of course, if you don't see this as being a problem for the future, please tell me. It would make me feel a lot more secure about things. Thanks!
it shouldnt be a problem, you can re download those in the market
Goddamn it. Now I went to uninstall Email.apk to replace it with an old one that doesn't require remote security, but it keeps giving me an "Application not installed" error, even with the backup of the original.
How do I get it to install?!

You don't install system apps, you just move then into /system/app/
its likely if an OTA becomes available a dev will mod it to be flashable to rooted and modified /system/ devices
i would love to know how to get rid of the annoying [email protected]!*& adds

Okay, I feel much better now. Time to play around with this thing! So excited!
Yea if an ota comes out, it will be modded to update the system and skip files not found, if there is a patch.
So your good. I'm just waiting for custom recovery with nandbackup before I start messing n the system. I just hate setting up the phone all over after
And if all else fails you can fastboot flash system.img from the orig pc10img. Wiping all your data and formating ur system. Then updating to ota.

Curious to know this as well.

Just use Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps you want. Long click on the app, and an uninstall option will be there.

Since you can't sort apps with the stock sense launcher, I'm wondering for a list of which apps are absolute safe to uninstall (Stocks, More info, Twitter, Setup etc.).
This is cause I'm of sick of having to scroll through a long list of useless things to find what I want.
I tried uninstalling these apps but ran into FC issues.
I tried searching the forum for something similar and found nothing, does noone else find this anoying?
Thanks all!

the truth is that i do not manage to understand for what you look...
If that i know that we can´t classify the app of the launcher by files thing that is soo troublesome ...
Then.. Do you want a list of the apk that come for default in an official ruu?
Which of these apps can I safely remove because I don't want them and are only cluttering my app drawer.
The issue is that some of them are apperently needed and cause "Force Close" issue when removed.
Thanks

there are things.. like peep.apk that you can´t uninstall from the aplications admin. of android because are original apk´s of official ruu,, but you can try to uninstall using "rom-cleaner"
another think you can´t uninstall only one think of google maps.apk.. or uninstall completly or you are going to have problems later if you uninstall one by one...
there´s no problem if you uninstall youtube.apk, LOL

I've got root, so I can uninstall everything directly from phone.
I'm looking for something more like a list of things possible to uninstall without issues (for example uninstalling all this causes the market to not work properly and i've heard that uninstalling twitter causes a FC issue).
Yes, I know that I can uninstall Youtube , I just tried to clarify what I want
I flashed my ion with the latest at&t ICS then root it with bin4ry's method. It installed the superuser and I can uninstalled apps using the flashtool but when I try to uninstall through the phone I can't (tried it with apps then going to app I want to uninstall, instead of uninstall I only get disable). Am I missing a setting? I remembered when I flashed my phone with the international ICS I can simply uninstall all the apps I want.
Thanks in advance and thank you for all the guides and other things that makes this phone fun to use.
Actually even with international firmware there are some apps you can't uninstall through the settings -> apps menu. For those apps use something like root explorer and remove the apk manually in the system/apps folder. That removes it from your phone.

If you are trying to uninstall system or certain preloaded apps you need to use ti-backup from market. The /settings/apps program will only uninstall user apps not system apps

Uninstall Almost Any System App
Have you ever wanted to remove a system app?
To remove a system app you need to have:
1.Rooted Phone
2.Root Explorer(ex.ES File Explorer)
3.Custom Recovery(or ability to reset dalvik and cache)
4.Apps to Remove!
Let´s get started!
0.Make a backup of your phone just in case.
1. Remove the App´s data.Go to Settings/Apps/All/ and select the app.Then Clear Data and Cache.
2.Navigate with root explorer to /System/App/
3.Select the app that you want to delete and delete it!
4.Then Clear Dalvik and Cache(This will remove the app from the apps list)
5.And Voila! You removed a system app!

thanks for all the answers.
Do you guys know how to get rid of the "yp local search" from contacts? Also sometimes when I go to my contacts, it tries to retrieve an at&t address book.
Promise this is the last question. Thanks again
As Spec mentioned go to /system/app delete whatever you want by using root explorer or something similar

I have uninstalled all att apps and still have that in contacts. Now when I click it contacts force close. Might be built into att contacts apk. Maybe try the one from generic international

Just got S-Off'd and I'm rooted with Titanium Backup installed. I know that I can use this app to uninstall some of the bloatware that came with the phone, but I was just wondering if anyone has compiled a list of apps that are safe to uninstall as I don't want to mess anything up. If not, then let's compile that list now. Would appreciate any feedback from users. Thanks!

Over in the Android Development section, GrayTheWolf has already built a script that de-bloats the phone. There is a list of all the apps the script removes in the first post. That would be a good place to start.

Awesome! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
That thread hasn't cleared up whether the debloat script is safe to run. Has it been vetted? Many folks seem to have had problems with it and the loss of functioning tether.

Ah, that'd be an interesting thing to address because tethering is rather important to me. Can I simply choose to uninstall these apps individually via Titanium Backup with the same results as the script?
You should save/freeze, or whatever it is that TB does, and then uninstall. If you have issues, then simply revert. Troubleshooting is far easier that way.

you can also just disable then under Settings > Apps
though for unrooted (like myself) there are some you can't.
perhaps these are ones you shouldn't uninstall?
safest way is to do a batch backup of all system and installed apps, then uninstall via titanium what you think you don't need. If you break something, restore the app.
I haven't looked at the debloated script but most uninstall things I use like nfl app. Usually you can edit the script to your needs before running.
Many applications still do not work yet in Lollipop.
So to remove system apps this one works great:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp
If you remove but keep the app in recycle bin thos equals a freeze and if the app is deleted from recycle will be definetely removed.
Edit.
Thanks to GROGG88 found a new and better one working with lollipop

Why not use the disable and/or uninstall function that's built into the app manager? Freezing and/or removing apps will cause issues with OTAs unless reversed.

Freezing apps got nothing to do with OTA problems, just removing

Nope, and there's ZERO reason to remove them. Just disable them. If nothing else, you can use pm disable
It doesn't break OTAs and it doesn't soft brick you if you remove the wrong thing.

Clearly you don't own a Nexus 10. The lollipop images are made that there is ZERO bytes left in the /system partition, therefore whatever you try to install there (battery stats, busybox, appops) will fail.

Don't the system apps still have a DEX file in the /data partition/area taking up space?
