Root **Apps you should NEVER delete from your spirit.**

Can we delete the Facebook app?

I did, and my phone is still fine. I've rebooted it a few times since then, too.

Here is my set up with disabled, uninstalled and frozen apps.

Can we delete Yahoo sportstacular or Yahoo movies without bricking our device?

 

[OrKo]

Yahoo sports - yes. Be sure you mean Yahoo movies and not Google movies. They have similar icons and I deleted Google movies on accident and soft bricked for about 3.5 hrs

Can we trash the MetroPCS Easy Wi-Fi app? I don't even know why they put that garbage on here. I hate it.

Yes... That's the first thing many of us nuked after root.

Pardon my ignorance, new Spirit owner here. I'm rooted and installed the 2nd init recovery. Some of the apps that folks here mention as having uninstalled do not have the option to uninstall in the App settings menu. I can only force stop the Metro PCS Easy WiFi for instance. Uninstall is greyed out. Are you guys using ROM Toolbox, or Titanium Backup or something similar to uninstall these things? I have the licensed version of each but I hadn't used them here yet, did not think it would be necessary.

Coming from the Esteem, loving the hell out of this phone. I especially love the way it doesn't lag and freeze on me randomly just touching a button or attempting to do something simple like, oh, send an sms.

I use root explorer to delete system apps like that.

 

[jasonzech]

So can we a get list of all the system apps that most of us don't want with there according names of apks? I just don't want to start deleting apkz with strange Names LoL.

I know that you can get the Google Calendar app off the play store and delete calendar.apk from system/app without any problems. But don't delete CalendarProvider.apk

Also, gallery2.apk is your camera and gallery app. You can replace it with the new 4.2.2 camera apk that's floating around the forums by renaming the original to gallery2.apkbk, moving the downloaded camera apk (without installing it first) into the system/app folder, renaming it to gallery.apk and changing the permissions. Works fine!

I just do this so I don't have double app icons. I hate double app icons.

 

[wobbie]

Can u then delete the original gallery.apk? Or just leave it as is with the new name? Also my lg spirit says galleryLG3.apk same thing right?

 

[OrKo]

I believe the og gallery apk on stock is tied into the camera

 

[wobbie]

ya i tryd the google edition camera app and the new panerama thing doesnt work with it. lots of bugs. so i deleted it and whent back to stock. everything else worked. new gallery and video and everything but idk if i even like the new version without the new feature.
