2.2 and bloatware

Don't remove MediaSync.apk, or else your gallery and stuff wont show any pictures.
 
So I started removing some bloatware from 2.2, and I noticed that a lot of files are doubles... for example..

Vvm.apk
Vvm.odex


Is this suppose t be like this? I changed the .apk to .bak on the files I do not want, but in 2.1 I never saw .odex files in there before. Anyone know what this is about?

Do yiu mind sharing why exactly it is that u r doing this?

Anyone know why renaming certain apps from xxxxx.apk to xxxxx.bak doesnt actualy remove them from my apps list such as the blockbuster one and amazon?
 
If u rename them to. Bak they shouldnt show up in ur apps try a reboot. If ur doing it using root explorer they will stay in the list but when u go to see ur apps in the menu they shouldn't show up

Ya I did a reboot and I used root explorer to rename the apps but they still remain in the apps list im not sure if there's something im missing because the other apps that i renamed to .bak arnt there anymore. also i noticed your .bak was with a capital b is that needed?
 
No the capital isn't needed but u could try that also is its just the bloat apps like amazon. And blockbuster just delete them I can give u a link to put them back if need b

Ive found the link but ive heard you shouldn't delete but really havnt heard why, but im not really sure how i would install them again as system aps if i needed to. but if its possible then ill just delete them
 
The only reason u don't delete is if u need to go back to stock and if u do delete all u do is download xxx.apk to ur sd then go into root explorer go to ur sd move xxx.apk to system/app no I don't suggest delete much but I did for amazon and stuff like that

i don't know what i'm doing wrong. first i renamed everything to .bak using root explorer. rebooted, everything still there. then i moved to sd card... still there. then i copy and pasted all from my phone to my pc and erased the bloat .bak files from my sd card.. rebooted.. still there. wtf?!?!
 
So when u rename the. Apk files to. Bak nothing changes? Is it all or just some of them?
