Removing apps from system folder can cause bootloop's

Thanks to:

Crsdr37 - for beta testing

m-deejay - for pointing out my ramdisk issue.

You do all this and you take the risk. But remember if you got the CWM working, you should be safe and you can run itsmagic from CWM if you are in doubt. I take no responsibilites if you damage or brick your device. But if you do think its bricked, and you get checksum errors both at boot and recovery, sc2k might be able to help if you saved your UID number.
