International HOX Bloatware

[icebike]

This is a list of apps I Disabled in my HTC One X (HOX). I've seen no ill effects of doing this, and of course I can always re-enable them If something comes up.

This list specific to International Tegra 3 version. Maybe someone will post a list for the AT&T version.

Why I selected these particular apps to Disable:

• Some I disabled because they are lame services only available in Singapore or some place like that, or are pay services for which I have no intention of paying.
• Some I disabled because they are paid apps that duplicate of Google apps.
• Some are entry level apps for which I already have the paid or pro version
• Some are social media apps which I refuse to join
• Some are battery or memory hogs
• Some are ones I have a better App for from the market
• Some are just ones don't want YMMV

Disabling these means:

1. I don't have to find them running in memory after each reboot,
2. I don't have to see update notices for them,
3. They don't clutter up my app drawer,
4. They don't clutter up my Share target list

Unless or until I root, I can't get rid of them, but disabling is the next best thing.
Rooting and physically deleting these just makes it harder to get OTA updates if past
experience is any guide. So for now I disable them.

(I refuse to join facebook or google+ so don't waste your time. Obviously if those are important to you, you won't be disabling them).

What say ye?

Lava flow is an active wallpaper (battery hog)

Laputa is somehow related to the navigation package that came with the phone, a paid package, or an ebook reader. Not totally sure which

Note:
The Music App that comes on the phone is also needed ti play audio clips attached to mms messages. So if you disable this, as I initially did because I only use Google Music, then you have to download the audio clip before you can play it.

So you might want to leave that enabled.


Also: if you use a third party Calendar App, like Biz Calendar, Touch Calendar, etc, you can disable Calendar, and Calendar Widget, but but you must leave Calendar Storage running, because it handles sync with Google Calendars. Disabling the other two prevents both running and giving you duplicate notifications.
