@tehpreist
Its fun to see what list ppl use and think is a must for rooted phones. And to look at all app posts one by one will take for ever.
@Azzledazzle
Thnx. Think i miss one or two on that list.

You only need to read one thread for most of them hence the reason it is pinned.

Need a file browser like root explorer to gain access to these directories!!
/data/flex/app
coconut_cricket_prod
major league bowling Bloatware game
MBO2_kyocera_m6000
uno_demo_kyocera Bloatware Game
zio top apps Bloatware App
I am not sure what the other two apps are but I copied pasted this from the middle of a thread... and since its always being asked figured I would make it easy to find!!!
Anyother Bloatware thats removable without messing up the system can be posted here and I will edit this beginning post to include it
oh and if you know what those two are please let me know and I will add it in
You can remove the Cricket apps using Uninstaller for Root.
Mobile Web
MyAccount
MyBackup
Home Screen Tips
Cricket Store
Both demos
ZioTopApps
You can also remove the NuAnce voice control but I recommend backing the bloat on the SD card.

I meant whats the file names for the bloat apps...
I dont like uninstaler for root...way to easy to hose a phone as there's no confirmation... you click something on accident its gone.. which is going to lead to a ton of uninstaler/bricked phone threads
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
If you dont like Uninstaller for Root have fun deleting the bloat with something else. I only recommend it because it is alot easier to find MyBackup than it is to find something like coconut_cricket_prod_a2.0_v1.31_aligned.apk not only that but it lets you backup apks to sd card if you hold the app with a long tap
If you want to be brave you can find the apps in /data/FLEX/app/

It's a matter of preference. Both do the job. One is not better than the other. Anyone using either should know the risks.

the post says it all. i am a noob when it comes to bionic and want to free up my memory (internal) what would be the EASIEST way to accomplish this?directions please with sugar on top.
Root Explorer... navigate to /system/app.
I always make a folder on my SD like "SystemApps" then I move what I don't want out to that folder as opposed to just deleting them, just in case I find out something is acting weird or needed.
"Some" of the bloat can be uninstalled via the built in App Manager also.

This really should not be in the development section. Until we have a way to back everything up via recovery the only way you can do anything like that is through rooting and using Titanium backup. You can either freeze or uninstall any app. I would not uninstall anything without backing it up first. All I have done is freeze some bloatware so I do not have to see it in the app list. You can really f up your phone if you remove the wrongs stuff. A there is a list somewhere of which apps you can freeze without issues.

THIS!!!
I am no where near an expert as some of the Devs in these forums, but I went through a lot of ROMs on my old Eris. Every time, though, I had a Nand backup to go to if/when I screwed up.
Now that I have a nice, new, shiny Bionic I will not root until there is an SBF to allow a return to stock. Yep, people like P3Droid, and others, have successfully rooted and debloated. All it takes, though, is some little glitch, power spike or otherwise, to screw things up. Actually, reading a few forums there are more than a few that have already bricked or really hamstrung their $600 phone by just rooting and borking around trying to debloat.
Patience people. Within 2, 3, 4 weeks I'm sure one of our Dev wizards will have a failsafe method ... WITH BACKUP RESTORE CAPABILITIES.
I just group up my apps to eliminate viewing the bloat. My phone is fine. Fools rush in, for sure.
On a side note: I've seen a couple people mention on other forums that they have bricked their phones and committed fraud by returning their smoldering remnants back to Verizon. Slackers.

What did you use to back up your bionic?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I'm guessing Titanium Backup. But here's my question.... Is it safer to 'freeze' bloatware instead of moving it into a new folder on your SD card?
As long as you don't delete it when you move it then either option is good from my experience worth moto phones

Ok I have done both renamed bloat files .bak and moved them into their own folder in my sdcard , my question is how do I free up internal memory? When I do either of those sure it removes then from my application drawer but it doesn't free up any memory?

You may have uninstalled the Yahoo contacts. You can find a System App dump from here: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/tbh-discussion-forum/9081-droid-bionic-system-dumps-partial.html
Hope this helps

It's always safer to freeze the bloatware. This way if your phone starts to act up, all you have to do is defrost whatever you froze.
That did the trick thanks Idk why Yahoo is tired to that process.

I deleted a bunch of bloat ware but it doesn't say that I cleared up any internal memory anybody know why?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I know this is opinionated, but what apps are bloatware? Let's say I have all the apps I want to use already on a backup and I am starting the Bionic clean. What can I uninstall or move that won't mess up the phone?
There is a list of files ok and not ok to delete at androicentral.com check it out great source.

Why are you trying to use Rom manager on this phone? Are you running mtd or BML?

Premium licenses are there so that you can give the dev a small donation for all of his hard work, and in return get a couple of cool features. NOT for you to steal and then see if they work, because they won't.

While on topic, I got the premium app way back when he was taking paypal payments off the market. How do i get premium access if i don't have the ability to get the premium version from the market? I tried to email that guy but he doesn't respond.

I'm not gonna badger on about stealing because you've already been told, but I think when you buy the premium licence, its device specific meaning....the information in build.prop will have to match the information embedded in the app, but a word of advice....don't steal mate, your paying for developers time and effort and now you've mentioned you download from different websites....chances are no-one will help you anymore mate

When you purchase the premium license for the ROM manager or any other app from the android market, it can be downloaded and used on any of your registered devices.
ok i think i got it,seriously, you can stop with that now...i'll not use or try to use in that premium thing... thank again everybody and respect,really!
I was thinking about using ROM Manager. A video online I saw seemed to show it was an easy way to try out different ROMs on my new (used) Droid Incredible I just bought. Is there any down side to using ROM Manager? I have no problem paying for it!
Even if I have not associated my new phone to my Verizon account yet, can I just download/install ROM Manager from the App Store if I connect my phone to my WIFI network at home?
Thanks for any feedback you can provide. I am totally new to Android, just migrated from WebOS.

Is it possible, I don't necessarily want to flash or have to root.

You cant do that, removing system applications require root.
Depends what bloat you're talking about? There really isn't much on there to be honest.
Figured as much, I just remember when I got my One there was something like 4-5 gbs already taken up.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
You can't remove em without root, but you can disable many of them. I have about 15 apps that came pre installed that I won't use (mostly carrier crap, and stuff like Google Magazine, books, etc..)
Go to settings - > apps - > all, then select disable if it isn't grayed out...
A lot of the HTC apps can't be disabled, but whatever can is worth it
Pretty much like freezing.. You still have the apps taking space, but they won't run and will disappear from your app drawer!

i assume your talking about the 6.9ish gb that comes used up from when you first turned on the phone? that section is mostly a system partition used up by the android OS system. I'm not too versed in this but its pretty much neccessary. how large does that section have to be now that i'm not too sure. but every sense version i've ran on here custom 1.29 has pretty much the same size for that partition.
the best way without root is to disable the apps, as WolfDale7 mentioned.
Awesome, thanks for all the responses and help everybody!

And if I have root, how can I uninstall them since titanium itself doesnt?
