Google Movies and or Google Books will both soft brick your phone if uninstalled

All apps that previously bricked this phone when removing can now be removed if you flash this Kernel first. (Flash with 2nd-init recovery or custom recovery)

I was wondering about these-is there any that do brick(read about Google Books or Music causing a problem when deleted?)
Maybe should add what not to delete as well-just a thought :)
 
K I already had post a list of Wat to freeze, there's a couple of people already soft bricked by deleting metro browser so like I sayed before they need to freer my metro and metro browser, we already have about two thread started about Wat to freeze and Wat not to remove.
 
I removed the lgsmartworld apk file but its still on my phone. Whats the other apk to get rid of to do away with it? I am almost down to the bare minimum on the phone. Also we should make a complete list of apks with notations on them ie can remove/cant/program/etc. Will make things much easier. If I hadnt aready wiped all I can find I would start a apk list thats fresh. Maybe I can start a list based off what I have left and someone who hasnt removed anything can fill in the rest and we can compile a flawless list.

removed lgsmartworld with titanium backup and it is completely gone
 
I would recommend not using titanium back up as I got lazy and tried to remove the emergency app with it and it factory reset my phone. Deleting the apk was fine.
