Root List of safe-to-remove bloat?

[p_025]

Given the staggering amount of bullcrap Verizon has put on this phone, we need to determine what exactly is safe to remove (if we get a custom ROM though, the point is moot). I'd love to start a list in this forum for reference, but I don't wanna brick my new best friend. Does anyone have experience removing bloat with minimal side effects on this phone?

I will start the list...I have removed bloat from 3 phones.

All VZW apps including Backup Assistant.

Pre-installed games.

I wouldn't touch anything else...only because I don't know which Samsung apps are tied to Android's framework; haven't dug that deep yet.

For now on my wifes phone, I just put all the crapware in a separate folder.

Thing is, I like having the My Verizon app. The data tracking widget is awesome.

Can you grab the APK names for those? If so then I'll edit the first post with the list.

apk names? those are the names? (i removed the myverizon app because i would like to have a stock android GB as close i can get it) those are the names it listed in TB when i uninstalled them so far phone has had no Force closes or random reboots and it starts up faster and im gonna say better battery life but im gonna go pick up that extended battery later today
