What is com.htc

[CJM867]

I am running an HTC wildfire that is kind of notorious for having very little internal memory (only 150 MB). I recently rooted it (after 18 months) and using titanium backup pro have uninstalled a lot of things not needed and would not jeopardize my system... google books; htc weather I have also moved some programs like facebook to the rom there by saving even more space (about 75 MB total). Thankfully though I now run pinterest, facebook, facebook messenger and even google voice I no longer need to clear cache every other day and/or do factory resets once a month.. hurray for superuser I also get to make calls using groveip.

One program that is still taking up space is com.htc (15.8MB) I can't find any info on it. I want to remove it but I don't know what it does or if it is important.

I think that's probably the main Sense UI. If you're going to uninstall system apps make sure you have a full nandroid back up first.

I removed a lot of the SEnse stuff when I had my Wildfire but boy did it breka certain UI elements. I can't recall if I removed com.htc, sadly.

To me it sounds important. If you wana test it though, i think(?) you could just freeze it and if things go wrong, boot into safe mode and unfreeze it.
Wait until someone can confirm that though because im not sure :thumbup:
As Nicka said though, if you have a nandroid then youre safe

I just spent some time reading and am not sure I see a difference between a recovery backup and a nandroid. Are they the same... I didn't run into that word until yesterday.

Same thing i think mate. you make a nandroid backup in recovery mode. it backs up a complete image of the phone :thumbup:
