[Motorola Droid 3] w1ckeds1ck:
Do you recall which apps specifically you removed?

PLEASE Be sure to make backups while removing, or changing the stock apps with your phone in order to save yourself a lot of time, Ibuprofen and caffeine.

Yes, there are various ones, but I found this one to be most helpful; (please note this entire list was copied from Cory Streater over on androidcentral forums, and is actually a list & guide for removing bloat apps, though these same ones

SHOULD

be safe to freeze, should you choose to)

Please read carefully and proceed with caution

If you are only looking for the lists, feel free to scroll down to them. That said, there is some very important info before the lists I would strongly encourage you read.

This list has been created based on my prior experiences with a variety of devices. I am very confident that the Verizon Bloatware, Live Wallpapers, and Widgets listed below can be safely renamed/moved. That said, this is a new device with an updated version of Motoblur. If you do not want to be a test case, you should wait for others to confirm these apps are safe to remove. Do not throw stones at me if something goes wrong.

Before you begin:

Before you start making changes, I would strongly recommend backing up your device with a program like Titanium Backup (also in the market).

All of the files below are in /system/app.

The most popular file explorer for accessing and moving these files is called Root Explorer.

Do not delete files. Either:

Rename them from <filename.apk> to <filename.apk.old>

Read post #2 to learn how to move them. Historically, on other phones, OTA updates have failed if apps don't exist. The system folder had to be exactly the way it was when the phone shipped.

Before you rename or move an app in the /system/app folder, check the list below. If it is not listed, or you are unsure if it is safe to modify, please ask first. To be safe, I would only remove the apps listed below, until it is updated.

If an APK file also has an associated ODEX file, the ODEX can be renamed/moved also.

The following is a must read if you need to put an app back!

When you move an app (and ODEX if applicable) file, from /system/app to the SD card, the permissions change from rw-r--r-- (to) --rwxr-x. The owner/group changes from root/root to system/sdcard_rw. The app disappears from the app drawer and all is good.

Now, lets say you move them back for some reason:

When you move them back, the permissions remain what they were on the SD card.

The apps (e.g., VZ Nav) will not show up in the app drawer - even after a reboot.

You need to put the permissions back to rw-r--r-- and then reboot before they will show up in the app drawer again.

The owner/group of these files will remain system/sdcard_rw, but that doesn't seem to have any negative impact.

The best way to change the permissions - is to use Root Explorer.

Move your apps from the SD card to your /system/app folder.

If it isn't already, mount the folder as R/W

Press down on the file you want to change the permissions on then select permissions from the popup. If you get an error that it isn't read/write, then you didn't mount the folder.

Next, you should get a popup that allows you to change permissions. Change them as follows:

Required file permissions if you need to move something back:

Group	Read	Write	Execute

User	Checked	Checked	Not Checked

Group	Checked	Not Checked	Not Checked

Others Checked	Not Checked	Not Checked

Notes:

If you install another web browser (e.g., Dolphin) you can also move Browser.apk.

There will be others, I'm sure, but I won't be the first to try.

If there are additional apps that you have successfully renamed or moved, please post them in this thread.

Suggested alternatives for removed apps:

Instead of the built in browser use Dolphin HD.

Use Google Maps with Navigation instead of VZ Navigator.

Buy apps through the Amazon MP3 store instead of the VCast music app.

Convert movies using DVD Catalyst 3, then transfer to your SD card instead of using the VCast video app.

For file browsing try using Root Explorer.

Search the market for a free caller ID - instead of the subscription based CityID app.

Instead of the Verizon IM client search the Market for an IM client app and/or stick to the built in Gtalk application.

And, sorry for the lack of formatting on the previous post. As I said, it was copied from another forum, and I would have posted a direct link, but I'm not actually allowed to yet. Hope it helps! :)
