EASIEST WAY TO REMOVE READ-ONLY SYSTEM APPS:
-Purchase, download and install "Root Explorer" from Android Market
-Tap the button "Mount R/W" which remounts the system in read/write mode
-Long press the .apk you wish the delete and delete it
-Tap Mount R/O to remount the system as read-only
-Done

BTW, be careful of what you remove. The ones you listed should be fine

What method did you use to root 3.7?

Also, Titanium Pro will let you delete them (back them up first) and if you screw up, you can retore something.

This does not work for the bloatware blockbuster crap.

Just remember to be rooted to be able to uninstall bloatware type programs. I deleted mine with root explorer and it worked perfectly.

I am rooted and it still did not work. Ended up having to use Titanium backup and freeze the app. Still is not deleted from my phone.

You have to be full rooted to delete app.

What method did you use to root? If you are rooted it should work no problem.

Agreed. I removed google talk since I never use it and it's always running. Broke the Market, could no longer install apps from it.
