[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadBullBunny:
I found the best and easiest way to do this for actually removing apps is to root the phone first then download the Terminal Emulator from the app store and start it up. In the command prompt first type "su" which logs you in and then mount the phone to rw by typing in "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system". I read its best to mount it back to ro, but I don't know the exact command. I'd assume with ro instead of rw in the command. To bring up the applist type in "ls system/apps" which I did on the computer with adb.exe so I can copy the list. To remove an app just type "rm system/app/(nameofapp).apk". Some threads say to move the app to internal storage and also to do a back up of the app, but I haven't figured out how to do any of that yet.

I got this list from a factory restored ATT Ion -

Anyone want to help join out and make a remove list? I know there were a few listed in the deodex thread with the flash remove app script that I will try.
