[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] UnitedOceanic:
Hi there,

the official cyanogenmod barebone list isn't up to date and there are some other apps that are included with our milestone cm7 mod. I always wanted to keep my system a slim as possible. unfortunately never found a list that was good enough. thats why i'm trying it right now.

please help, comment and suggest. so i can complete this list. :)

hope you like it

Do a Nandroid backup, just in case you broke something.

I take no responsibility if you bricked your stone :D

Methods:

I would suggest Titanium Backup, you can uninstall and backup the apps while using you phone.

Or you can use the Androidiani OpenRecovery downside is that you can receive calls, texts and whatnot.

I would not recommend root-explorer, file expert and other root file explores.

Ok let's start:

red: do not remove

orange: possible to remove, but...

green: remove if you want to

blue: need help / confirmation

These are the the apps included in cm7 rc13:
