If you have not rooted and you don't mind, can you please give me a list of stock apps? I'd like to unroot but I need to download the apps I deleted and can't remember all of the apps I deleted (really didn't delete a alot).
I'd be VERY appreciative if anyone has the time to do this. Thanks
apps list please

You rock!!!! Thank you SO, SO much!!
****! That's a boatload of bloat!
F#ck you Verzion!
Of course Titanium will show a LOT more.
If you root and freeze do not freeze any of the other authenticators like picasa, yahoo, etc. even if you don't use the apps.
It will cause your contacts to force close upon opening.

Yahoo Authenticator is the only one that will mess up contacts.
Are there any apps that would potentially mess up your front facing camera?

Yes, sorry I just realized I should have probably given the disclaimer that I don't have titanium on yet and so I can't tell you what other junk may be on here, what I listed were just the apps that are visible in the app tab, hope that didn't mess anyone up
UGH - I had deleted Guided Tours and News. Any ideas for putting these back on my phone in case I should ever have to return my Bionic?
Just a suggestion if you are rooted and are removing some of that bloatware, don't delete it. Use something like Root Explorer to rename the .apk file to something like .apk.old. This way you can easily recover it. Root Explorer also gives you the ability to change the system\app directory from read only to read/write so that you can rename them.
I have also heard of people taking the .apk renamed fike and moving it to the sdcard to free up space.

SNS and SNSAccount are used to sync/backup/restore/fetch your contacts (and calendar) from your SNS accounts (e.g. google).
Do not freeze them if some of your contacts are saved to your google account, or if you use another SNS app (facebook, twitter, google, samsung, viber, whatsapp, etc)). The same goes for Google Contacts Sync and Google Calendar Sync.
Also, I wouldn't freeze DRM. Judging by its name, it's used to authorize applications that use DRM.
Lastly, this doesn't belong here. It's not even Ace related.

Thanks.
I guess you are right you can put this everywhere. :S But yea I do this on my ace phone that is why it is here I mean why not many people only search their phone and don't look at general things.
If it's ok, are there other stock apps related to those two that should be uninstalled as well?
And would the time still appear in the status bar after removing those two?
Also, if it's ok to remove those, can you recommend some third party apps to replace them?
Thanks guys!!
Removing the stock calender is no problem, but the most calender apps are useing the android includet calender api and i don't know if these are working after removing the stock app. I think you must give it a try by saving the stock calender bevor you removing it.
There also some calenders with a own system saving calender notes like "Jorte"
Deleting the stock calendar is fine as long as you DO NOT delete calendar storage. I am not sure about deskclock.apk though. It might contain some important stuff regarding alarms, time in system, etc.
