thanks Hilmesh for that list. wish you could start a new thread just to update that list, quite difficult to find though. just my thoughts. cheers!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hilmesh:
I don't want to start new thread as i don't know how to. :)

Also this list is just a continuation of all the great work done by regular contributors in xda like pulsar_g2, and others. So the credit goes to all of them. It is just my way of giving back to the community.

If there us any difficulty finding anything give me a PM.

Question?

Is it possible to remove the clock/alarm app and replace it with another one? I run CM 10 Kaffee4Eck ROM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] inverse_of_zero:
Yes it is.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 14K:
Clock

Any idea when i can find the original clock app that works with CM10 JB?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hilmesh:
Hello All :)

Find attached Updated List With respect to XWLPT. I am using Wanamlite V12.3 hence some apps listed will show XWLPF (my older stock ROM) which in Wanam's ROM have already been removed. Also i have given some comments wherever i felt needed so that nothing goes wrong.

I am not facing any problems till now and things work great.

Hope the list helps out in General.

Cheers :D

P.S. I have not removed clock as then you lose complete Alarm functionality. Hence if you have a substitute then go ahead and freeze. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CyberCodeDroid:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hilmesh:
Dear All,

Here is something i noticed. Since last few days have been trying to delete some contacts and always ended up freezing my phone with every delete operation. Have identified the issue. If any of you are freezing com.android.providers.calender then it causing these freezes. If you unfreeze it then the delete operation works perfectly.

Hit Thanks if it helped. :)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] inverse_of_zero:
Not sure about it specifically working with CM10, but in general all the stock. apk files are floating around the XDA forums along with instructions on how to install them. I just do a Google search for 'stock clock apk' and I usually find the download of the file I want, install it and it works well.. Maybe include 'JB' in your search to ensure it's comparable with JB?

I just stumbled across this, give it a try, apparently works with JB..

Thats a list for an absolute bare ROM, unless you are replacing everything , sms, email, mms, etc so be careful.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hilmesh:
I would not say bare as majority folks always use substitutes and hence there is no point in running both stock as well as substitute. :)

Someone should update this thread for applications safe to remove from Cyanogenmod Rom as they are more popular than the stock build.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ABHIII:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bobdoblo:
What is this meant to be showing us?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] p107r0:
well, not so sure about it, mainly for following reasons:

1.

perceived

popularity of one ROM over another should not constitute basis for thread hijacking

2. the thread name does not specify it directly, BUT the removable app list refers to stock (and stock-derived) ROMs only

3. considering the big difference between stock and CM ROM's, adding CM list to here would only introduce confusion,

but: if you consider such a list necessary, than why not start a new thread? either in the Note forum or Android general as CM is not device specific?

Something more to freeze

Here's what i've personally freezed in addition to the list of the OP and the other readers:

TwDVFSApp.apk (something Touchwiz related? i USE TW launcher, freezed this apk but have no problems)

Popupuireceiver.apk

keychain.apk

googlepartnersetup.apk (seems to be related to first gmail setup. i do not use gmail.apk)

com.sec.android.providers.downloads.apk (seems to be related to downloads trough stock browser)

You could also freeze

applicationsprovider.apk (search applications provider)

with the result that the section "my applications" in the market won't be updated with new applications you install. As i prefer to have the list of every app in have installed and unistalled since now, i keep this .apk untouched

when you are in doubt, simply search "applicationname.apk" in Google and find out the small information other people have left in the web about semi-unknown apks. Or ask Google directly XD

As for the last 3, they are ok to freeze (the last one, it's a video editor no need to keep it). Thanks for sharing, I urge you guys to do that too. Will post mine as well.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] poofish:
You can freeze all the clock widgets except for the Clock 1.0 that has the numbers on the analog clock icon. That one is the system clock application rather than a widget.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tready:
Well i frozen all those apps on the list above with tb. I wouldnt say the phone is faster but my battery life is defo lasting longer
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mi3x:
You need root access, then use something like Titanium Backup. Freeze them, if everything is ok, you can uninstall them after a day or two.

I use Friends in Launcher Pro.

Once frozen, they wont start up again ever, unless you defrost them. You don't need a task killer, use TB.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vitalij:
I suggest not to freeze TTSService, it is text to speach engine, and many apps use it. For example sports tracker.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mi3x:
yup, defrost it, not really using it, but got a profile from tasker who used it and gave me an error, so yes, defrost it back. Thanks.

Since Android is based on Linux and linux installers arent so very clean (i think, not very good at that so might be wrong) i wonder when you remove the appz doesnt many files remain still ? like setting files, maybe dll like files (as in windows) ?

Hello guys,

Will we have an updated list for the new 4.1.2 stock rom? Or if there already is such list, could you please point me to it, since I haven't found it using search.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] egingell:
While Kies may use it, it's primary function is for the USB. And it is safe to remove as long as you switch to Mass Storage first using an app like USB Switcher.

Note: I have tried this myself with Mass Storage enabled, but I did not try this with MTP enabled - Presumably, the latter would fail without the MTP Application, it just makes sense.

Edit: I misread your post, but all of that stuff I said is still true. :)

Also, Kies sucks ass and should be removed at all cost.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gokul1980:
I removed most of the applications, that were mentioned as safe to remove, in the attached excel sheet. However, once i was done doing that my phone started behaving erratically. The phone used to just hang for quite a long time. I, then had to reboot the phone by taking out the battery and then inserting it again. Still it was of no use. The phone just would not work in the normal manner.

Thankfully, i had taken a Nandroid backup. I restored the Nandroid backup and the phone started working as before.

All in all, i would suggest, instead of removing all the application mentioned in the excel sheet try removing a couple of them, check if your phone is working fine and then go ahead with removing other apps. Seems to be time consuming but its better to be safe than sorry.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] egingell:
And always make backups whether they be Nandroid or a simple ZIP/TAR file or even just using ADB to pull the whole system directory.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] egingell:
I just put this together. It will delete ALL apps marked as "YES" on the spreadsheet linked in the first post and the associated ODEX files.

I am also attaching the source in case you want to look at it and make sure I'm not doing anything sinister (you can also look at it in the ZIP file [META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script].

All it does is delete system files. At worst you'd have to reinstall your ROM. Nevertheless: I am not responsible for any damage to your system nor any loss of data, so back it up!
