list of stock apps / bloatware

[nacho220]

Does anyone have a complete list of the stock apps that came on the Droid X, or bloatware as some call it. So far I have this

CarDock
CityID
My Verizon
Skype
Visual Voice Mail
Amazon mp3
Blockbuster
3G Mobile Hotspot
Corporate Directory
Text Messages
News

this can include things like the Text Message "app" which I guess would be more of a phone function than an app. But basically everything that comes stock/factory in your app drawer before you install anything else.

Thanks in advance.

Which of these can be removed without messing up anything?

I think its best to just freeze them. You will need them later on when you do an update. Unless of course you create a back up of the entire stock rom.

I removed "Blockbuster" from my DX when I rooted.

I unrooted, and now I'm trying to install the OTA Gingerbread update, and it's failing every time.

Is there a way to get Blockbuster back?

If you are running Gingerbread you can uninstall City ID (without rooting).

instructions (from another forum)

I deleted a few system apps (all the social stuff, corp directory, email, etc). In a thread on DroidXForums (this one on the unrooting procedure) someone mentioned that they could not get the .604 update without some of the bloatware. Of course, this freaked me out a bit as I would certainly like to get Froyo when it comes out. So, I went about trying to reinstall the stuff I'd uninstalled. The system dump with all the default apps is here, and below is the procedure to get what you're missing reinstalled and visible as system apps. I used Root Manager but the same procedure should work for Root Explorer. If you prefer ADB I'm sure one of the more competent terminalists here can help you.

-Place the apk(s) of the apps on your sdcard.

-Use your chosen means to copy the apk(s) to /system/app (this will require making /system/app writable. In Root Manager just press the R/W key when you're exploring /system/app).

-You now need to change the app's permissions. In Root Manager, long press on the app (in /system/app) and click on "permissions". Then make sure that only the following boxes are clicked: User Read, User Write, Group Read, Others Read.

-Make sure you make /system/app read only again by clicking that box in the top right while you're exploring the folder.

-Reboot phone.

Now the apps should be loaded and the system should recognize them as system apps (you can verify by opening Titanium and noticing they're in red). This should make you good to go for whatever OTA comes. If you're unsure which apks in the system dump correspond to the apps you've deleted, just explore your /system/app and compare it to the system dump app list. Any apks in the dump but not in yours are what you're looking for.

I removed some of the stock apps like Madden NFL and City ID....is this why my phone is downloading the update and not installing? How do I fix this?

Having the same problem...only it's Need For Speed that I am missing, and it's not on the list of Droid X apps that is linked in this thread. I have a stock since purchase X...just uninstalled NFS after a few months because I never used it...until now I guess.

Is there any other way to get the trial Need For Speed apk that came with the X? Can anyone send it to me or provide a link for it...I hope that's ok to ask...if not, I apologize. I just really would like to try and get GB up and running without having to start from scratch.

 

[jbhuskers]

His link to where I am doesn't have any thing....I think I might just backup everything to my SD card and do a factory reset.

 

[llong314]

Will doing a factory reset reinstall those apps that were previously deleted...like the NFS app, etc...?

That's the question I'm trying to get answered.
