Kind of a repost, but your post includes a couple more apps that were not in the previous post's script:

Hey guys. Need a little troubleshoot here with moving my brower and app caches to my SD card. I used Terminal Emulator and entered the following code.....
Terminal Emulator
-----------------
$ su
# cd /data/data/com.android.browser/cache
cd: can't cd to /data/data/com.android.browser/cache
Any idea what could be causing this? I'm new to Android but I'm loving it! I'd love to cache them to my SD card, which is only a 4GB for now I'm also gonna send my apps to the SD card. How long do you think 2GB of that will last? 2GB is consumed by music and some pictures and videos.
Thanks....

How can I remove some of the pre-installed apps? I don't use Peep or some others, but I can't figure out how to get rid of them.
I have an uninstaller app, I've gone to Manage Apps, I even used a file manager to find the apk file in /system/app. If I tell it to delete it says it does, but the file is still there.
How do I remove them?
If you are rooted:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
ls (This displays all apps on the phone.)
Do this to delete them.
rm NameOfApp.apk
rm NameOfApp.odex
names are case sensitive so look for any caps in the name of the app you want to remove.
I removed:
rm teeter.odex
rm Sprint_Nscar.apk
rm Sprint_Navigation.apk
rm HtcFootprintsWidget.odex
rm HtcFacebook.odex
rm IM.odex
rm HtcTwitter.apk
rm com.htc.StockWidget.odex
rm Flickr.odex
rm HtcRingtoneTrimmer.odex
rm Sprint_TV.apk
rm HtcFootprintsWidget.apk
rm Flickr.apk
rm com.htc.StockWidget.apk
rm Stock.odex
rm Facebook.apk
rm Sprint_TVWidget.apk
rm Sprint_NFL.apk
rm IM.apk
rm HtcFootprints.apk
rm teeter.apk
rm HtcFacebook.apk
rm Stock.apk
rm amazonmp3.apk
rm HtcFootprints.odex
rm com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
rm HtcTwitter.odex
rm com.htc.TwitterWidget.odex
Thanks raz! That's exactly what I needed. I knew there had to be a way to get that stuff off of the phone. I will keep a couple of things, I do like the Sprint Football app. But ALL of the Twitter stuff is useless, and Nascar, and the stock stuff......etc.
I'd much rather have that space for something useful, like games.
This is a useful resource as well:

hey. i just am new to the sammy and so far i'm loving it. However, I'd like a clean install of the OS so I want to get rid of the sammy default apps. I've tried using some tools to uninstall it but thats a no go.
Any ideas how I can delete these default apps (ans also which ones are mission critical and so I should keep).
thanks
i have made list of files which you can delete safely. you have to be root for this. i did this with the JM2 firmware but it should work with other's too ...
"adb shell" to the device and then:
Code:
su
cd /system/app/
rm SamsungWidget_StockClock.odex

rm MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk

enjoy a clean system without most of the sammy-ui crap
cannot thank you enough. someone should make this a sticky with people contributing to this list based on other versions as well.
thanks much again
There is already a topic like this. Use search for gods sake.

what apps can you safely remove i have removed the stocks apk and odex with terminal emulator and a couple others. i have searched the threads and looked and found some help. i would like to find out all apps and widgets that can be removed. like face book, peep,flicker and others.
Here is a script I use to remove a bunch of Sprint apps and such when I install a Sense ROM.
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm Sprint_Nscar.*
rm teeter.*
rm LearnMore.*
rm HtcFootprints.*
rm HtcFootprintsWidget.*
rm Sprint_NFL.*
rm Sprint_TVWidget.*
rm Stock.*
rm com.htc.StockWidget.*
rm Sprint_TV.*
rm Sprint_Navigation.*
rm IM.*
rm Mail.*
rm htcmailwidgets.*
rm SDSA.*
rm GSD.*
rm HtcNaviPanel.*
rm SprintZone.*
All of these apps are definitely safe to remove. If you just want to test an app to see if it's safe, download Titanium Backup and "freeze" the app. If you have no problems, then it's safe to remove that app. If you have problems, you can simply unfreeze the app, which returns it to normal and you don't have to reinstall the rom.
Thanks for the list. I thought I have seen a post that Facebook and peep cam be hope other can help with a list that can help us all. I have been picking through threads a couple ones here a couple there.

Is anyone here familiar with Kali Nethunter? They released version 3.0 that now supports Marshmallow, however, Kali is installed on top of stock Marshmallow from what I understand. Can anyone elaborate on how this is possible seeing as Marshmallow on the shamu is packed tightly to the brim on the system partition? I freed up about 200 to 300 MB of space deleting system apps I don't need, but this Kali build is over 600MB! Probably uncompresses to be even bigger. Thanks for any insight ant of you can provide! Cheers!

When flashing it most likely removes enough to fit what it needs. It Could also over write stock files. I use Kali so am DL it now to have a look.

You were right, I went ahead and flashed it, and the aroma installer had a line that said "clearing up space in /system" and it did. Thanks!

Yea it makes me wonder what it's really removing. I had about 200 - 300 MB free on my system because I removed some Google bloatware, and after the Kali install, I had like, 500 ish MB free. It deletes something big from the system. Wonder what is actually removed.

If you are ever wondering what it is doing, just unzip the file on the pc and use notepad++ to check out the scripts. Even if you dont understand everything somethings will start to make sense the more you look at it.

I've done this more or less, where should I look? The update script? I've done this a couple of time to see which Android version a ROM was when the post I found it on was not specific enough.

Thanks man! Appreciate it! Also, an unrelated side question. If you remove the SuperSU zip from a rom, will it still flash right and just skip SuperSU? Or does the script have to be also changed? Thanks! You may be able to answer this one, if not, that's cool!
Yeah it should. I would imagine to pull off alot of what its pc counter part does it will need root

Mostly for multirom use, some roms include systemless root and as of right now, that doesn't flash correctly with multirom. So in theory, removing the super su folder from the rom and then installing normal system root should work?

To be honest I have never messed with multirom. It has never really worked properly and most roms I run will not support it. So that I can't answer.

Alright. Well cool thanks for all your help man! Appreciate it!
can i flash kali nethunter 3 on top of aosip slim gapps hcb13 ?
i installed their 3.0 the day they announced it but the terminal doesnt work with the error "1.) no title".
other people have the same issue and they cannot seem to reproduce the issue and fix it. had to dirty flash my system image.
even though they say its stable there are many issues hovering over this mod BUT its hell of a mod if it works, makes you proud to own an android; specially a Nexus!
