[Gen8 General] daaain:
After taking inspiration from Cyanogenmod Barebones wiki and finding out that there's no such compilation for Archos devices I'm starting a thread to get everyone's wisdom together!

At the time of starting this I'm using UrukDroid 1.6.1 on an Archos 70 IT 8GB.

Please submit your findings and I'll edit the list from time to time. It's very light at the moment, spent too much time fiddling with the formatting :)

Please fill in all 6 parameters when submitting to keep things tidy, thanks :)

Best way to do this is to use Titanium Backup, as it gives you the ability to freeze / uninstall the app and restore later if all goes to hell. It also has everything in one big list and gives you all the needed info (name, APK and package). Do note the info down before you remove it though! You can get package and APK by tapping the app name in the middle of the options popup:

Edit: actually, it seems like some of the apps are not removed properly by Titanium, but manually moving them to /system/app.old folder (as suggested by $aur0n) using File Expert seems to do the trick.

Have fun,
