[Defy Themes and Apps] x53:
list of removeable system apps

Nice script,

but in my opinion it removes to much and at the other hand to little.

E.g. with the delation of ... you will lose ... .

within /system/apps

Apollo.apk - the musicplayer, you may need an alternative app

BasicDreams.apk - no screensaver

Calculator.apk - like the name says, no Calculator anymore, you may need an alternative app

Calendar.apk - like the name says, no Calender anymore, you may need an alternative app

DSPManager.apk - the equalizer for tuning audio, not that bad

Email.apk - like the name says, no Mail-client anymore, you may need an alternative app

Exchange2.apk – OK, when you dont need to communicate with an Exchange-Server

LiveWallpapers.apk - right, who needs live wallpapers

LiveWallpapersPicker.apk - right, who needs live wallpapers

LockClock.apk - indeed this app sucks

PhotoTable.apk - right, who needs live wallpapers

SoundRecorder.apk - like the name says, no soundrecoder oder dictating machine anymore, you may need an alternative app

Term.apk - like the name says, no Terminal anymore, you may need an alternative app

UserDictionaryProvider.apk - no word prediction for the keyboard anymore

VisualizationWallpapers.apk - right, who needs live wallpapers

VoicePlus.apk - outside of the US makes Google Voice no sense, correct me if I'm wrong

WhisperPush - thats right, nothing to say about that

within /system/priv-app

BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk - I'm with you but I don't know what you will lose without it "restores sync'd Google settings" or "adb backup dialog"?

CalendarProvider.apk - you will lose whole calender support, without it no calender app will work (besides apps with buildin calendar provider)

CMS.apk - right, you will only lose a stub APK für GooglePlay ?!?! whatever this means, it seems to be a Google Play thing?

CMUpdater.apk - right, when you dont want to do incremental updates for CM or only full updates using TWRP

PicoTts.apk - right, if you dont need speeches

Shell.apk - right, if you dont need the ADB shell

ThemeChooser.apk, ThemeManager.apk and VoiceDialer.apk are OK to remove

Now to the other apk's your script wont remove, but why not?

within /system/apps

Browser - maybe replace it with something other, e.g. Firefox

CellBroadcastReceiver.apk - who needs Cell Broadcasts? have a look at settings -> wireless -> more

CertInstaller.apk - which home user needs wireless certificates? have a look at settings -> Wi-Fi -> advanced

DocumentsUI.apk - I dont know what it does, but I dont feel something is missing ;)

DownloadProviderUi.apk - who needs that download app within the app menu??

HTMLViewer.apk - who needs that and what for, I dont.

KeyChain.apk - I really dont know what it does, but I dont feel something is missing ;)
