is this bad???
Might make it more difficult to do an update. I just renamed the .apk's to .bak which has the same effect as deleting them.
I'm sure you can find the files you deleted somewhere when and if you need them.
When a new OTA comes out, you could just ask for a backup of the apks you deleted - then you'll be fine.
As snowblind64 said, it'll just make it more of a pain. I'd recommend using Titanium Backup in the future.
Noob question, but how are you removing the bloatware, or what application are you using to do so.
I just rooted my Droid 3!
Thanks guys.

Download titanium backup from the market. Dont uninstall FREEZE them. same thing. save you the trouble i got into.
Another good idea (if you're someone who might ever take an OTA - I wouldnt, just as soon as it's out the devs get it and make it better), but root explorer. Absolute must-have if rooted. Instead of deleting apks from system/app, just move them to a folder on sd card, so you have em if you need em later.
But OTA updates are bad. Let the devs fix em first.

Not sure how but this topic keeps getting missed in the failed update mayhem. One thing seems obvious bloatware are needed for update to succeed. TB cannot restore these. Is it possible for someone to share them so we can install. Wothout flashong ising oden

Just use Odin.
Odin will delete everything though. Was hoping not to do that.

Also it seems ppl who used odin are the ones having problems updating. Does anyone have the att apk files and how can they be installed.

Look at the survey in general you have been pointed to in other posts. You don't need bloat to have a successful update. Designgears has made an update. You can get the apk's off a system dump in dev.
Please look around and read. I'm not trying to come down on you, but all the questions and concerns you have, all legitimate, have been addressed.

does anybody know if there is a way to somehow delete wanted apps from the thrill such as 3d apps and facebook or twitter crap. if so i would love to remove this stuff just a hassell to go through all that stuff to get to the good apps. thanks in advance
first u mist have root, second download rootexplorer from market, then once all that is done, use root exp to get into system/app amd delete unwanted apk's. run a search on xda to find which apk's are ok to delete.

You can first use the Titanium Backup app (need the root), and freeze applications and see how it works, before deleting it.
Has anyone successfully deleted an app from it that has been backed up and in the uninstall section, I hit delete and hope for the best but it seems like the app that I thought should be deleted is back after reboot so am I missing something or do I have to go into ES File Manager as root and try to look for each app individually and delete them?

I think some apps leave behind some 'residue' of theirs instals even after uninstall.
you can try some of these cleaners which specifically do this job.
am assuming that's what you meant

Haven't used them in the recent past, but SD Maid is one that comes to mind.
another one (not very certain of the name) you can try is Root uninstaller or something like that..

I had trouble restoring some MI9 system backups to MJ5. When I tried to restore them via TB, the process would just hang or say "The app is from a different ROM version..." or something like that. Maybe the problem you are having is because the apk is from a different build then the one you are running.
a good point was made i need the ones from the MJ5

I would if I could, but I'm back on MI9 (warrantied my first N3 and they shipped me one with MI9).
If your rooted, maybe you can flash an MJ5 Rom (that hasn't been debloated) w/SS and backup the apk from it. Flash back to your stock nandroid and install the backup apk.
im thinking i need the Odex file for both

Hey everyone.
Sorry if this is an elementary question, but I'm not very experienced yet.
How the bell do I permanently delete a device's stock apps? I have an AT&T HTC One, rooted, and have used ROM Toolbox Pro to delete AT&T's ridiculous apps. And they just appear again.
Any advice? Thanks.

I think this is a 4.4.2 issue. Over here on my Nexus (that I can't wait to get rid of), even with TB uninstalling the apps doesn't do anything. Best option I found was to disable them in the settings.

idk if this will help you but i've noticed that if you update those apps and try to delete it , it'll "delete" but comes back after reboot so don't update any apps you're looking to delete.keep it factory fresh
also since you're rooted try another file explorer that has root..go to the system/app folder and delete and also check data/app folder
