Yes, this is exactly what you do, afterwards you will be able to go to settings --> applications and remove the remainder of the apps, ie /data/data/<app>

Does anyone know any good tutorials for editing xml files. I want to learn how to change colors, transparency, etc. Ex. changing the status bar color.
