Some of the apps that come with your phone can be safely removed without causing stability issues. They take up space and use resources that could be used for other things. Removing unwanted apps will theoretically make your phone run faster and smoother, plus, you can configure your phone just the way you want it.
Below is a chart that shows what apps might come pre-installed in CyanogenMod. You can delete any app that shows ‘yes’ under ‘Remove’; However, if you delete an app, you will no longer be able to use its functionality until you reinstall it. So, for example, if you never listen to music on the device, it is perfectly safe to remove Music.apk. However, you will need to reinstall Music.apk if you ever do want to listen to music on your phone.

Backup apks
You should back up any apks that you plan to remove. That way, you can easily re-install them if you change your mind. You have two main options:
- Nandroid backup from the recovery console, or
- Manual backup with
$ adb pull /system/app/ ~/Desktop/app/
How to find applications
To find what apps are installed on the device, you will need to run the following, either in adb shell, or the device’s term:
$ ls /system/app
or
$ ls /data/app
You can also list installed packages using the package manager, either in Terminal Emulator or via adb shell:
$ pm list packages
To see a list of installed packages along with their associated files:
$ pm list packages -f
At a lower level, you can pull the packages.xml and the packages.list files using adb and examine them directly to determine what is installed and what the related .apk file is called and where it is stored. packages.xml will show you the package name and the .apk file installation path and name. In packages.list you can look up the package name and locate the data path. Both of these files will tell you a great deal more, these are the things that pertain to the present article.
$ adb pull /data/system/packages.xml
$ adb pull /data/system/packages.list
Generally, any apps you install from the market or otherwise manually install will be in /data/app, while any apps that come pre-installed will be in /system/app.
How to remove applications
Remember to watch the case of all files, directories, apk names, and package names!
- Case matters. Example.apk and example.apk are two different things.
To remove applications you can use aps on the market Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox Pro, ES File Explorer or do it through ADB
First of all you restart adbd as root
$ adb root
ADB

How to reinstall applications
Change your mind? No problem! You have two options, depending on how you backed up your files:
- Restore your Nandroid backup from the recovery console, or
- Manually restore your app with
$ adb install ~/Desktop/app/<apk name>.apk
