Root What apps safe to remove after root?

Hi, I got my dinc rooted yesterday and installed titanium backup to uninstall some bloatware.

I uninstalled - weather, stock, city ID, calculator, verizon apps, FB, peep, FM Radio, adobe flash player, amazon mp3, 3G hotspot, downloads, footprint, friend stream, teeter, voice recorder, youtube. (I never use these apps)

I want to ask:

What other apps can be safely uninstalled (not system apps), like stock internet webkit browser, google talk, voice dialer, voice mail, voice search, maps, gmail, places, navigation?

[In case you wondering, I use my phone mainly for on-the-go browsing (dolphin browser), phone calls/txt off-course and ebook readers. I do like customizing and utility apps that I have installed to make use of phone more flexible and easier]

Yes to all of the ones there if you don't use them. Maps and GPS are way too useful for me to delete though. Never know when you'll need those.


You can always freeze an app before removing using titanium backup. That way if it creates issues all you have to do is unfreeze it
