HOW TO Strip your Epic NAKED!

[youngblack]

I need to know what apps are safe to remove on the epic, name all the sprint and samsung bloatware and I'm using Sdx Stock App Removal...

So far I've backed up and got rid of:

Amazonmp3.apk
Asphalt5_demo
BuddiesNow.apk
DM.apk
DrmUA.apk
MyFiles.apk
nascar09
samsungwidget_calendar
samsungwidget_cfeedandUpdate
SamsungWIdget_ProgramMonitor
Samsungwidget_stockclock
SamsungWidget_weatherclock
screenCaptureservice.apk
SisoDRMProvider.apk
Sprint_app_Updater.apk
SprintAndroidExtension.apk
SprintTV.apk
SprintTVWidget.apk
SprintZone.apk
Talk.apk
TaTLiveWallpapersbeach.apk

So far 3G is working and Market app is working and everything just about right...Can I remove anymore...? Maybe I haven't tested EVERYTHING but the phone seems to operate a little faster now that some stock apps removed.
I want to get rid of sprint's visual voicemail because I don't use it but I checking service the app name: com.coremobility.app.vnotes (CM_Service) doesnt show in Sdx Stock App Removal by it's specific name..which one is it..?

And there are 3 DRM service related apps but I think I deleted just 2.. so far is there more... which one is it?

Also.. why is DownloadManger2 (Media Hub) running in services even when I didn't run it. I don't want to remove it.. just need to disable automatic start up.. If I missed or someone has posted how to on this.. point me to the right thread. Thanks.

The wiki is your friend:

Is the list of apps that can be safely removed the same for Froyo, or are there any more that can go? I see new apks now that I didn't see before and I don't know what they are.

Also, the wiki needs to be updated. There is nothing in the list about the DRM services. (I would do it, but like the OP says, I'm not sure which 3 files are the ones that need to go).

I hear ya... We really need this wiki updated. Now I'm in need for some stock apps which unintentionally got deleted or corrupted while I was trying to troubleshoot the leaked beta gps issue. My calendar storage fc on me every minute or so... Where do I get it? I know there's a thread for stock apps somewhere in this forum.

Also when I flashed from froyo version 3 back to d18 to get gps working again then flashed back to 4.2...after confirming gps is working again but also notice some of my apps that got moved to sd card no longer show up in the app list. How do I restore it? Am I missing something...?

I already using froyo right now. When I go to menu...settings... the application manager... sd card no apps are on that list. I even went from
4.2 to the earlier froyo beta still no signs of apps on the sd... if i use a file explorer right now where on the sd should apps be located?

Thanks
