Root Removing apps (freezing?) proper way?

[realized]

So just rooted my phone and started getting rid of some apps/services that are useless to me.

i used doomlord's exploit so my phone is still stock.

from there i installed ES File Explorer, mounted /system, went to /system/app/

and renamed some .apk files to .apk.bak

this seems to be working, but is it the proper way?

this is my first android, thanks in advance!

rename is one way. you can also download titanium backup. and it does the work for you.

Both ways work wonderfully. I use titanium ....and always freeze them

I never...ever delete. You just never know

yeah i was trying to buy titanium last night but apparently there was a problem with my google checkout and they wanted me to upload a scanned copy of my DL license and proof of address?!!?!

just now i created another google account just for the marketplace, linked it to google checkout, and added a CC..

my first purchase will prob be titanium =)
