Uninstalled:
o F-Secure
o Car Home
o LG Email (installed stock android e-mail instead, it actually works with Exchange.)
o PC Suite
o On Screen Phone and related services
o LG Launcher (don't do this unless you're sure you'll not need to factory reset.)
o SNS (Twitter/Facebook, official apps are better.)
o All LG-widgets except for Messages and Calendar.
o Voice Search
If you're unsure if uninstalling an app will mess up your phone, just freeze it instead. (If you're using Titanium Backup, which you should, you can get it to remove it from the Market and app-screen as well, making it appear completely uninstalled. If your phone doesn't do anything strange for a week then it's probably safe to uninstall it for real.)

thanks TrymHansen...
i do have Titanium backup pro. i'm a veteran of the galaxy i7500, so i did alot of freezing and uninstalling.
i opened this thread to compile a list of safe prof uninstalling so everyone will benefit
from it.
your reply is great contribution in that cause.

How you uninstalled all these apps?

Optimus2XPrime -
1. you need to have root (read how to in the Development sector).
2. you need to install any uninstalling tool from the market (Titanium backup for example).
3. you need to be very careful with what you uninstall so the phone will still be usable.
4. advice - uninstall stuff thet you read others have and reported it's fine...

1) done
2) downloaded
3-4) will be done
P.S some minutes after my post I found the answer

what does freeze do ?

removes selected app from app drawer and cannot be started by user and/or system. like they are uninstalled, but still there, occupying few megabytes. can easily be un-freezed from Titanuim

Isnt there any free software ? titanium is paid one

to Freeze LG Facebook, Freeze "SNS".
Music 1.0 vs 2.2.2 - One is the music widget, one is the player.

Wizz or other functioning scrolling FB widget?

Does anyone know of a scrolling Facebook widget that works? I use Colorize on my SGS II and the dev has released the Wizz FB widget which is exactly what I want, but it never updates itself. I'm using the ADW launcher, btw. Oh, and I don't like those "flip board" type widgets (a la CNN).
I have the same problem it doesn't work on stock or launcher pro.

Two things:
1. If the widget is "working", then a manual update forces it to update. The auto-update is basically non-functional. I'm on Honeycomb 3.1.
2. Usually at least once a day, the widget goes "blank" and I need to delete it and re-add it as a widget.

Have the same problem with Wizz 1.7 FB widget on my Xoom (3.1). The widget doesn't update the "like" counts and the comments. Expect that problem, I like Wizz!!!!

now that we have root, what should/shouldn't we kill

would it be wise to compile a list of the bloatware that we should and should not kill, now that we have root? Also, perhaps the best method to deal with it (Freeze, rename, or outright delete)
Here's what I've successfully removed without any problems so far:
Apps 1.02.16
Backup Assistant 2.3.4
Backup Assistant Client 1.0

What type of updates? I made backups of everything first so I can go back and restore everything and freeze it instead... I don't know if I want to though as everything seems good so far.

i see no one has listed DLNA as a safe to freeze. I know it is constantly running on my D3 and am wondering if its safe to freeze or not.
Even after freezing DLNA, like a couple other apps like Task Manager and Voice Commands, it still seemed to stay resident. After doing an actual uninstall and reboot, I was good. (I did get an infinite force close loop, thus requiring the reboot. I seemed to be able to hold the power button and tap the force close then the shutdown item fast enough to avoid needing a battery pull.)
I agree we shouldn't have multiple threads for the same topic. I think we should take further discussion over to the more trafficked one:

Agreed... we should move this over to the other thread.... can one of the mods close this down?
Can anyone upload backups for these files for those of us (ahem) who went a little gung-ho on deleting apps instead of freezing? (meh bad).

Remove lg apps from stock rom

I just flashed the stock o version, and tried uninstalling the lg sns app, as i thought it is the one that contains Facebook and twitter. After the uninstall my home screen would no longer load and i had to reflash again. How can i remove those apps?
Also on the stock home screen bar how can i change the default messaging link?
Thanks a lot
Ps. I tried searching for these, as i thought these should be common questions, but my searching skills are just horrible.

Is it even possible to uninstall the LG sns apps from stock rom? Are you rooted? For what I know, it is a system app and cannot be uninstalled like ordinary user apps.
Anyway, if you phone's rooted, you can just download titanium backup and either freeze it or uninstall it from there, should be no problem, I do that too, I don't like the sns apps and some other LG bloatware. I don't know about deleting it manually using apps like root explorer or es explorer will have any negative side effects, but it usually don't.
Cheers!
Yes i am rooted and I tried to remove sns and also F-Secure using Titanium Backup, but thereafter i could not get to my homescreen anymore. I will try it again. Maybe it was something else i did, and not the removal of sns that caused the problem.
While rooted, uninstalling them with Titanium Backup works fine for me.
About the default messaging app on the home screen, if you mean by the 4 icons that is always there.. I don't think you can change it,atleast not easily anyway, there is no options for that.
Actually it's very easy to change the bottom icons in the LG Launcher. Enter the apps-drawer, click menu/edit, then just drag the apps you want down to the bottom icons.
Thanks. That was exactly what i wanted. I tried just dragging without the edit part but that did not work. I was also able to remove sns without problems.

[Q] The problem(s) with the facebook app running all the time

Why does the Facebook app always seem to be running in the backgound?
Even after a reboot, the app is running - usually 2 diferent services - media upload and notification checker or something.
With an X8, there's not much spare RAM, so to have facebook take up anywhere from 8mb to 16mb of ram is a problem for me.
Is there a way to stop this background activity without having to go to Applications>Running Services>STOP all the time, or, is there an alternative to the facebook app that behaves itself better?
Thanks

Yes it's old bug I try to log off from facebook but it's always back to running services. I fix that with unistall, if I need fb I install it direct from SD:cyclops:
I just uninstalled both facebook and twitter, and will try seesmic for a while.

Ohh yes, I forgot. I use SEESMIC on gcr and after log off there are not backgreound apps from seesmic :good::laugh:
What I do is I "freeze" the app.
That means the app is installed , but it can not run in the memory.
When I need the app again , I simply "defrost" it.
That way I am able to use the app whenever I want and I can simply and quickly switch between Freezing and Defrosting.
I use this application free on Google Play called "Chef's Freezer"

I agree, Titanium backup is the easiest way.
You can also use a root explorer and go to system/app and delete the apps you dont want. Just remember to make sure that the apps you delete are actual bloatware.
