[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grrgrrgrr:
I too have been asking this for a barebone rom.

Most of the replies I have found throughout the forum has been the same in here, get stock and remove the apps.

But beside the apps - we also want to remove all the preloaded gallery images, wallpapers, music samplers, etc.

the only way I can think of removing this is from opening the (said rom zip) and remove it manually than rezip it.

Maybe im wrong here?

I guess I will post a list of stuff and would love inputs on what can be uninstalled safely through titanium backup:

All the items I have listed has been seen from Titanium Backup ONLY.

From a Stock 2.2 Froyo ROM rooted only (netarchy)

If I didnt mentioned one of the lines in this list - than it is NOT SAFE TO REMOVE.
