List updated, now with complete descriptions for all APKs.
This is a handy reference guide I had posted on my local forum, the list of apps may not be identical to everyone else, but the core ones are there. Hope it's helpful here too!
Feel free to let me know if this is helpful or if there's any additions or corrections needed to be done.
WARNING: Rooting and removing System apps is at personal choice and risk of lost of warranty and damaging the phone.
WARNING: Always make a complete backup of ALL the system apps before removing any in case of accidental deletion.
DISCLAIMER: This is only a reference guide. I will bear no responsibilities if by referencing this guide through your own discretion damages your phone in any way.
Apps that are unsafe to remove or are linked to phone's capabilities:
(Keep them if you want access to all of your phone's features.)
Note: Many of these only run when needed while a few of them are persistent services that are about 1mb sizes. While removing them may give you a few mb more, keeping them is rather insignificant.
Note: Some of them can also be removed if you have replaced or removed the main app they are tied to, but read the descriptions carefully!

Can be replaced:
(These apps can be safely removed and be replaced by preferred third party apps of the same function.)
Warning: Sony Ericsson's home launcher should not be removed until after another third party home launcher has been installed and properly set up to take over it's function.
Note: Depending on the third party calendar app of choice, it may be advisable to setup your calendars using the default calendar app before removing it.
Note: Most third party messaging apps cannot send and receive MMS if the stock messaging app is removed.
Note: Removing the default clock widget will also remove the alarm feature. Ensure your clock of choice has alarms or have another alarm app installed.

Updating of System apps:
Unlike user apps, when system apps get updated, the original apk in /system/app cannot be replaced automatically. Hence the newer version will be installed as a user app in /data/app.
To save space on your rom, the original ones in /system/app can be deleted. Or, you can manually replace the newer ones from /data/app to /system/app.
Deleting the ones in /system/app is recommended since future updates will replace them and saves space on the rom.
Warning: It is safer to remove System apps from /System/App after you have updated them.
Note: Doing either method for facebook.apk will cause you to lose your facebook contacts. However, they can be restored by launching the facebook app, press back button, then menu button > Settings > Sync Contacts. You will also have to manually resync the ones that have been manually added using 'Join Contacts' as well.
Note: The exception is AdobeFlashPlayer.apk. Manually moving it to /system/app will not work. It only works when it's properly installed. So, simply delete the one in /system/app instead. And if it stops working, simply tap the one in /data/app to reinstall it properly.
Note: Having only one instance of Android Market will also fix the bug where some users' Market will not correctly show all the apps that are installed under 'My apps'.
Note: If you use the copy and paste method, you need to set the permissions for the APK after moving. Permissions: Check all for Read, check Owner for Write, leave the rest unchecked.
The apks currently with updates are:

Making User Apps into System Apps:
System and User apps are stored in partitioned memory, meaning they have separate amounts of memory allocated ie. System Storage Memory and User Storage Memory.
There is ~100mb of unused System app storage going to waste.
By making a User app into a System app, you change it's storage location and free up space to allow you to install more User apps. This is done simply by moving the User app to System app storage.
Note: Recommended apps to move can be home launchers, input methods, apps that you want permanently available on the phone ie. without SD card, apps that you don't need to update.
Warning: Caution when moving a system app back to user app! Example: Moving a home launcher from System/App to Data/App breaks it. Your phone will not work without a working home launcher! Restore the default home launcher to System/App before doing it!
Steps:
1. Browse to /data/app and locate the APK you want to move
2. Move* the APK to /system/app
3. Reboot
*If you use the copy and paste method, you need to set the permissions for the APK after moving. Permissions: Check all for Read, check Owner for Write, leave the rest unchecked.
Telco specific system bloatware:
(These are the ones in /System/App. The ones in /Data/App can be removed through Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.)

Is there a default Gingerbread apk that can replace the textinput-tng.apk?
Also, what does the default chinese keyboard on Gingerbread look like?

Click to collapse
Install any keyboard you like, or multiple keyboards if preferred. Then, go to /data/app and copy the APK to /system/app.
The keyboards then becomes permanently (default) activated keyboards, meaning there's no need to check them in settings to activate them.
Edit: I have added a section to the OP with details on this. Basically about ~100mb of unused storage is wasted in /system/app that can be made used of.

Tracks force closes, and possibly sends a usage report to SE. It's just a debugger, and most probably passive. See wiki for debugger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debugger
Doesn't really help the user directly.
New to 2.3.3:
My bootloader is locked so I'm afraid I can no longer test APKs for everyone. Sorry guys.
I believe them all to be optional, but I'm not rooted to try. So don't take my word for it.

I freeze that two aplication via TB and nothing bad happen. So I assumed you can uninstall it without any problem.
I assumed postcard was "touchnote.apk --- Touch notes postcard" Or am I wrong ??
I've gone through constin's list and matched up the .apk filenames to the application names as they appear in titanium backup.
By the way, does anyone know what the .apk name for Hanashi is? Can't seem to find it.

Hello everyone. I have modedd dansharpy's script to fit in our AOKP and CM9 builds without deleteing SMS or PHONE apks. What teh .zip does is deleting unnececery apps. The goal is to free up more ram and the rom to be smoother. It deletes stuff like Appolo,Music, livewallpapers and other stuff and processes.So you actualy have to download a player or a gallery app from the store.
Download
TUTORIAL FOR CUSTOMIZING THE SCRIPT
1.Get Notepad++, download it from here and install it.
2.Get a zip viewer like 7-Zip or WinRar and install it.
3.Download the Stripper and open it with 7-Zip or WinRar
4.Open META-INF>com>google>android.
5.Drag updater-script to a place like Desktop and right click>Edit with Notepad++
6.So here nearly at the center of the whole text is the deleting process.
7.delete("/system/app/apkname.apk","/system/app/anotherapkname.apk") is the command that deletes a file.(You can do so for any file.Even on sdcard (e.g.)/mnt/sdcard/something.
8.So check out the whole delete process and if you want you can select a whole path and delete it(dont forget to delete the coma afterwards it).
9.You can add a line by replacing appname with the name of the app you want to delete located in system/app
10.When you are done go to File(in Notepad++) and save the file(Not Save as)
11.Drag the updater-script back to the Stripper and accept any prompt.
12.Now just exit the zip viewer and you are ready to flash the Stripper.
List of all apps
WARNING. You may have something missing or something that is not in the lists.Apps are more or less in different builds

HI, I tried finding in stickies and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079295 but can't find a thread.
If rooting my 2 yr old P1000, was thinking what stock app / bloatware that can be removed to speed things up.
Thanks in advance.
although by no means a complete list,
this is what Team Overcome removed from GB stock rom and still appears to be working fine
BluetoothTestMode.apk
ClockAndWeatherWidget.apk
ClockDateWeatherWidget.apk
DailyBriefing.apk
DualClock.apk
FactoryTest.apk
Kobo.apk
lcdtest.apk
mini_sketchmemo.apk
MobilePrint.apk
MusicHub.apk
MusicPlayer.apk
PressReader.apk
Protips.apk
PulseTab.apk
SamsungWidget_CalendarClock.apk
SamsungWidget_FeedAndUpdate.apk
SamsungWidget_StockClock.apk
SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk
SketchMemo_P1_plus.apk
talkback.apk
WlanTest.apk
WorldClock.apk
Zinio.apk
Thanks.
Strangely I dont see these running on their own under the APPS menu... usual suspects i see are only :
Settings
DRM content
Software update
Task manager
Google services
SNS
Maps
ebook
Samsung keypad
