Removing APKs

[mymilkexpired]

I've noticed a few other threads where you guys have listed a few of the apks you've been able to remove without issue. Might be worthwhile to start a single thread.

Im trying to track down where the following apps are bundled:

- Task Manager (Found it, PerformanceManager.apk)
- Skype Mobile VZW (Still have not located a way to remove without buying market apps)

I've removed the following apks without any issues.

/system/app/MyVerizon.apk
/system/app/CityID.apk
/system/app/YahooContacts.apk
/system/app/SocialMessaging.apk
/system/app/SocialShare.apk
/system/app/Skype_mobile.live.apk

Just a quick update. I've removed a few more apk's, the original post is updated.

Additionally I've added the Google Desk Clock and 3D Gallery to the Pro. I prefer both to the Moto Blur components...

Another bump. I've updated the apk list with additional packages that I've safely removed.

you did all of this with Titanium Pro, correct?

All done though adb. I renamed all APKs, copied them to the sdcard for backup purposes and then deleted them from the apps & framework folders.

new convert from BB.....can you provide a little more detail on how to eliminate unwanted applications.

Also....any suggestions on how to extend battery life other than the obvious items? Thanks in advance

There is a a zip file in the D2 section that has all those .apk files, but I'll tell you right now. You made a big mistake getting rid of CityID. That file cannot be reinstalled and you will probably have to find some other way to restore the file. I know because I'm having the same issue.

It could be different because it's the Pro but I kind of doubt it. Anyway go over tot he hacking section of the D2 area in the stickies and you can find the .apk files.
