Hello, I have a Galaxy S 4g and I rooted the phone and deleted some apps. There are a few more I want to delete but don't know if it'll cause any problems. I would like to know if you guys have had problems if you've deleted any of these apps.

I would like to delete:
- Add to Home
- Google Search
- Latitude
- My Account
- My device
- Navigation
- Voice Dialer
- Voice Search
- Youtube

thx
 
Safest thing to do (if no one gives you a definitive answer) would be to make a nandroid now, while your phone is fully functioning, then delete the apps. If anything goes wrong you can always restore the nandroid.

But YouTube, latitude, and navigation should definitely be fine to remove.

You may want to rename the .apk to .apk.bak or something like that instead of deleting it. It will act just like you uninstalled it, but is easily fixed if uninstalling hoses your phone.
