Root updated safe to remove/freeze list available

OK quick update. So I followed your guys advice and got rid of some bloat ware. Don't know if people have had this happen yet. I uninstalled polaris office a few days ago. My battery died on me, so I charged it. It booted up and did an "android upgrade " 6 apps. When I went back to titanium backup Polaris office magically reappeared. Is this a normal thing ICS does or is this just an isolated incident?incident? Thanks for reading guys.

Ok, I just finished spending 4 hours updating my (not) safe to remove list for the LG Spectrum. hoping someone will find it useful after the time I've spent on it. I do intend on adding non-apk removal information to the page sooner or later... considering how long it took me to update the page, I doubt it will happen any time soon though.. :)

Thanks for the hard work. I was wondering if anyone had done this
 
@bestnugz I don't bother removing Polaris, because it's a great pdf viewer. It's not a persistent ram user, so it's basically like having a program on your phone that you rarely use. I'd keep it and use it in lieu of Adobe app.
 
They have me the RAZR HD as a hardware warranty replacement add my spectrum fried a few Sim cards in less than 14 days each. Interesting, since I never heard of it happening to anyone else, the manager at the store (or maybe the sales person helping me, I think I put it on the thread linked above) had the same issue when they had the spectrum.

I really like the RAZR HD and may pass on my contract upgrade in November, to keep it another year.

Anyway... I wanted to say, watch the date on that quoted past of me saying what was good to remove from the spectrum. I think it was before the last OS upgrade from Verizon (V7) and some things might have different issues if removed now.

Just makes sure you make backups before changing anything.
 
I fried a sim card too. I'm on my 4th spectrum. They just keep giving me another refurbished phone until it becomes unusable because of whatever hardware problem that caused the last user to send it back resurfaces.

I've had one spectrum. My cousin has the same and has only had one as well. We both bought them in late march of 2012
 
Notably, if you are on V9 software, and you Security Error brick the phone, you can use the LGMobile Support Tool and do an Upgrade Recovery to get the phone back WITHOUT having to format your phone and lose all the data. You will have to remove all the apps you removed before again, except for the one that caused the error.

Thanks for mentioning that. If I do something DUMB, I won't have waste too much time correcting the error.
