I recently rooted my EVO. 1st time. I am using the sprint lovers ROM, and wanting to delete all the bloatware. Just nervous that i will delete something important. Does anybody have a current list of programs/apps that is safe to delete? ANy help would be appreciated.

if you read the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/395962-guide-rooting-gingerbread-revolutionary.html sticky. there is section on bloatware and a link to a list. now that list was for froyo so a few things are missing. i would use titanium backup and just freeze the app you want gone first before deleting anything.
 
I have these frozen now and no problem so far. after a few days i will delete these and freeze a few more.

Amazon mp3
Blockbuster
Nascar
Nova game.
foot ball
 
Been 24 hours and still no problems. I have used most apps on phone and all are working as they should. Tomorrow I will delete them and post the next group I freeze and give another update.

I looked over the Sprint Lovers ROM and looks pretty nice. Have subscribed to this thread and watching your posts on the Bloatware issues/non-issues.

The only question I have is about the 4G Radio with the 8/3/11 release of this ROM. I noticed that the 4G is working with previous versions, but is it working with this version, if you have it installed? I looked over the linked page but didn't see anything about the 4g Radio.

Thanks for keeping us up to date...
 
I have deleted these apps and still seems to be ok. I will give it another 24 hours and then Ill freeze a few more and report back.

Im a noob to this so all i can say is im rooted but did not flash any roms or anything just using the gingerbread that was on the phone.
 
I now have teeter and telenav frozen . So far so good . I was a little worried that telenav was going to interfear with Google maps and navigation but seems to work fine. I again will keep updating.
 
Just want to let everyone know that I deleted all of the sprint apps from sprint lovers with no problems/freeze for 2 weeks now. I did a full backup just in case.

List of what i deleted

Amazon mp3
Blockbuster
Sprint Nascar
Nova game
