Hello, I'm running Froyo (rooted), and I'm wondering how I would go about removing the applications like Twitter and Amazon MP3 Store and such, does anyone know?
yes, it is possible, I'd suggest using Root explorer, but you can also do it on adb
all applications are in /system/app dir
twitter is called:
com.twitter.android.apk
as for the mp3 store... i have no idea
List of applications that can be removed safely(thou i suggest you make a backup):
VideoPlayerMoto.apk -> Moto's Video Player
VisualizationWallpapers.apk -> ...
VpnService.apk -> Don't remove if you want to use VPN
VSuiteApp.apk -> Language selector
WorldClockWidget.apk -> Moto Clock WIdget
Youtube.apk -> Should i really state the obvious?
TtsService.apk -> Text to Speech
SoundRecorder.apk -> ...
Street.apk -> Streetview
Stk.apk -> SimCard tool
Talk.apk -> googleTalk
QuickOffice.apk -> Quick office, memory hog if you ask me...
PersonalPortal.apk -> Motorola Phone Portal
Music.apk -> You can replace it with the 2.1/2.2 Music apk, since moto uses the 2.0 music app ATM
MotoCal.apk -> Motorola Calendar
MotoCarDock.apk -> Moto Cardock app
MotoGal.apk -> Motorola Firmdir
Motonav.apk -> if you choose to delete it, then you can also remove com.navngo.igo.javaclient in data/data
MotAccuWeatherWidget.apk -> Moto Weather Widget
MediaGallery.apk -> Motorola Gallery App
LatinIME.apk -> Default keyboard app, can be removed if you use another keyboard, e.g. HTC IME
LatinImeTutorial.apk -> Tut for the default keyboard
Launcher.apk -> You can directly replace it with LauncherPro.apk or what ever launcher you use : )
LiveWallpapers.apk -> Live wallpapers
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk -> Ditto
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk -> "MagicSmoke" Wallpaper
Maps.apk -> GoogleMaps
GreekIME.apk -> Greek keyboard
GoogleSearch.apk -> Google Search
Email.apk -> Default email app
EnhancedGoogleSearchProvider.apk-> ...
Facebook.apk -> Default facebook app
FOTA.apk -> for OTA updates...
GenieWidget.apk ->
Gestures.apk ->
GlobalSearch.apk ->
Gmail.apk -> GoogleMail
GmailProvider.apk -> belongs to GoogleMail
Dock.apk -> Docking station app, if you use n1 clock, then you don't need it : )
Browser.apk -> Default browser, if you use another one as default, then you can remove it
Calculator.apk -> Default calculator, i prefer arity, so...
AudioEffect.apk -> Audio effects app
AlarmClock.apk -> Default Motorola Alarm Clock, If you use another one, (eg N1) you can remove it

I now have 110mb free on my Milestone's /data dir
Its quite easy to do on some roms depending on which are using. Some devs include easy to run scripts which remove non market apps

So wait, do I just delete the files? (I'm not gonna use Root explorer since that costs money, which I don't feel like spending)

Do you have the Android SDK setup? You can use ADB Shell;
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
rm TheFileYouWantToRemove.apk
adb reboot
You can also do the same with Terminal Emulator - free in the market - which runs on your device (obviously..) instead of requiring the SDK for ADB Shell.
C:\Users\*******\Documents\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\too
ls>adb shell
# su
su
# cd /system/app
cd /system/app
# rm com.twitter.android.apk
rm com.twitter.android.apk
rm failed for com.twitter.android.apk, Read-only file system

I tried the adb remount and it says remount failed: Operation not permitted
... I'd like to think myself fairly experienced with android and adb now, but this has me stumped...

Try "adb root" first to have any commands passed by adb executed as superuser.

Have you try reflashing the same ROM on top of your current? That usually will put all the system installed apps back.

Did you go into Setting > Applications > and check mark on "Unknown Sources"? If not, it will not let you install the apk file.

Can some make a zip file from email.apk which can be found in the cyanogen 7 rom zipfile?
I have the AT&T Galaxy Tab SGH-I987 rooted but I still can't figure out how to install non market apps. I've looked all over youtube, google and even here. Can anyone help me? I know it's more simple than what I'm making it out to be...
just download the apk (or download from PC and put in the sdcard).
Then use a file explorer like root explorer or ES File Explorer and click on it.
Also remember to check Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources. You probably did, but no harm in making sure.

The AT&T version does not have this setting... Apparently they blocked it. When I try to install from SD card it will not allow... Is there anyway around this without rooting?
Use installer apps like File browsers, Back up and restore apps etc..

hi there,
is it possible to replace some system apps on a samsung s3 lte rom with google stock apps?
apps which i would replace:
- email
- gmail
- calendar
- contacts
- sms/mms
- phone
i can remember some times ago, there was a theard for a normal s3 without lte to replace that apps, but i cant find it again. in the past it was not possible to replace contacts and phone app, maybe now it is, but i would be very happy to replace the e-mail, calendar and sms/mms app again. so if this is possible, could someone from you guys provide the neccessary apk files?
i found this theard - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964726&highlight=aroma - but im missing email, sms/mms, contacts and phone apk files.
many many thanks!

hi there,
for all who maybe have the same needs like me, here is a theard(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308) where you can chose a lot of stock google apps with a guide how to do that..
for me, i try it with messaging and e-mail app:
1. download the apps from the theard
2. rename the apps in secmms.apk, secemail.apd and secexchange.apk and copy it to your phone
3. go to you app manager and look for your email and exchange service app, delete the cache, delete the data and stop the apps
4. save the original apps .apk and .odex files in system/app and delete it after
5. copy the downloaded and renamed apps in system/app
6. be sure that the permissions are right
7. reboot and its done

Probably an app on your sdcard or a system app.
Simplest way is to navigate to the store and grab the id from the URL - i.e. Chrome Beta URL is
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta
app packagename is com.chrome.beta
