Root List of apps safe to remove

Can somebody send me the deskhome apk.

Here ya go didnt know which one you need odex'd or deodexed: Desk Home deodexed and Desk Home and odex

 

[ShinySide]

How do I install one cause I tried and the first one install when I move it to system/app but nothing show up

If you're stock you'll need the apk and odex. just throw them in the system>app folder and reboot and you should be good. If not long press and install the apk and then reboot

Thats not working but thanks deoxed is showing up when I move it to system app folder but not responding and odex is not showing up at all

after moving the .apk and the odex file to /system/app, reboot the phone.

Just move adw ex to the system>app folder with ROM toolbox or root explorer then long press and delete adw out of the system app folder.

I have Root Exp. where can i get my ADW Ex, so i can move it to System> app?

couldn't i just make ADW Ex. my default launcher, then go to RE & delete adw launcher?

Its in the data>app folder.

I just always move it there. Then it can't be moved by the stock a2sd. If your home launcher ends up on the SD you'll get bombed with fc's

Plus that's where the stock one and adw was so I replace the app and its spot

Can we get more info on these "bloatware" apps?
A description of the app or it's use would be nice, so we can decide if we want to remove or keep it. Thanks for all the info.

<<<----- This newb would also appreciate that information ^^^^

 

[Memo35]

Can someone explain to me the difference between "freezing" and "deleting" an app? Pros and cons?
Thanks.

 

[ShinySide]

Freezing is basically uninstalling them but leaving them on the phone. Deleting completely removes them.
