How to remove system apps phone, internet etc

Hi everyone I want to remove the default phone and internet app from my phone. I know how to remove others by just deleting the apk in system/app like the gallery and FM radio, but the phone app is different you get force closes.
I'm using dialler one and opera instead but the default ones still pop up sometimes and because I've changed my dpi to 192 the phone app looks crap and annoying.
Can someone help with this please I did a search and couldn't find anything but to be honest the search in the xda app is below par.

Hi, i use Titanium Backup for this. It can backup, freeze and uninstall any app.
First i freeze system apps i do not like, so they are still there are can not be used by user or system. If there is no side effect after using mobile and reboot i uninstall app.
Hope this helps - Cheers

You need to be rooted to remove system apps.

Yeah thanks I am rooted used titanium never even thought of trying that have done the phone app but still unsure on the android browser.

Best apps for the samsung fascinate List

I really like nitsuj17 lists that he has made for roms, kernels, and themes and thought I would start my own.
To begin with I have gone through several of the first pages of this forum to look for good apps to start the list off with. Some of these are apps that I personally have found to work very well and better than the stock apps.
Please post any apps that have to do with rooting, replacing stock apps i.e. (chomp sms, launcher pro, or live home), or flashing. Please do not post games and entertainment apps. I will probably start a new thread for those kinds of apps later.

Definitely Tasker.
Also: BLN (Pro), Desktop Visualizer, QuickPic, TiBackup.

Titanium Backup
ROM Manager

I personally do not think that desktop visualizer is that useful but that might just be me. Tell me wether or not y'all think I should include it in the list.

ADW Ex should be listed under launchers.

I think it's indispensable for custom themes. Personal preference I guess.
You could also add xda premium app

ha rom manager is such a fail

I would agree except for the fact that it makes it easy to flash themes, roms, and kernels without having to go into clockwork mod. If it did not have that I would regard it as useless.

My name is Sneakysolidbake and I approve of this thread. I use damn near every app listed.
One I would add though is Tapatalk.

I'm having a hard time understanding you. If you don't want the apps running, root and remove/freeze them.

As LeJay said, root your device and remove the apps from /system/app/ or freeze (kind of disabling it) them with an app like Titanium Backup.
Also certain apps are required by the LG framework and can't be removed or frozen. They remain in memory and come back after you kill them. There are threads to be found about which app you can remove /freeze and which not.

What's the best custom ROM for saving ram?

What's the best Rom to save Ram
I'm on miui usually I have 70-110 ram free

Its not so much as you need a different rom as you should try stopping startup apps. I use autorun manger app and optimize toolbox. Download off the market and if you got root you can stop system apps like gmail and google maps from starting up when y0u arnt useing them. Optimize tool box has a task killer and a startup manager i disable everything in there except autorun manager. Autorun manager on the other hand i disable everythin except like android os and other important stuff like that. With the pro version if you have root you can stop the recivers which helps alot. Another app if you have root is fast reboot pro, which is another very good one to have. Try not to use widgets they take up ram as well. Using those meathods i manage to get my ram down to about 117 mb used, which is just over 200mb free. I hope this helps.

ok ill try that too Tnx

btw which one is better Dark Knight or Gamerzrom?
ive downladed The Dark Knight But in its data theres Nova Launcher(nova launcher is an launcher like Adw , go launcher , but nova is ics launcher , does this mean that the Dark knight is Launcher instead of ROM?)

Dark night is a rom but that is what they are using as a stock launcher for the rom

Automatically downloading apps after I delete them?

I was uninstalling apps I don't use and I came across this.
Why is it trying to download after I delete apps? I also noticed a sudden drop in speed whenever I uninstall/install... is there something trying to make a backup or what?
BTW: the main root app I use is Rom Toolbox pro

Here's the settings
