Gingerbread: apps that are safe to freeze/rename?

[audioman42]

Until a blurless ROM comes along, what is everyone freezing/renaming?

I've had these all off since yesterday, and after a full day I've not had a single issue. If there are any others that I haven't renamed but I can without crashing the system, I'd like to.

Tested even after a battery pull once those apps were frozone/renamed/removed?

OK I am having some Contacts problems.
I havent been able to determine what combination of files need restored.
right now I have unfrozen most of them and it is working again. Just havent had time to go through them 1 by 1 and figure out where it breaks

If your contacts force close when you press them? Then this is the app that I froze that caused that problem for me. Hope it helps

I'm trying to build a spreadsheet database of known apps/apk's installed as part different phones/ROM's so you can make a better decision on what apps are, and if they're safe to delete. Check it out here:

If you find your answer, and can add it to the list please do to help others in the future.
