[How To]: Apps that are safe to remove from a rooted Exhibit 2

Cory Streater · Jun 3, 2012

Please read carefully and proceed with caution

If you're looking for a list of Live Wallpapers, Widgets, or other Bloatware apps that are safe to remove from the Exhibit 2 (II), you've come to the right place.

Help us keep it up to date! If there's something missing from the list, and you've tested that it can safely be removed (without ill affects), please shae.

Be very careful removing apps that are not on this list. Just because you see something listed as safe on the internetz doesn't make it so. Too many people brick their phones because they think they've removed something that was okay, only to find themselves in trouble.

I personally don't have this phone, but my sister just got today and I will try rooting it tomorrow. I'll see if I could help you out here after rooting.

Update: My sister isn't allowing me to root or even mess with her phone, so no luck in getting you the apk you're needing.

Thanks

These tables got blown away after the vB4 upgrade. I need to redo them :/

I'll probably just take some screenshots from the old forums and post them here. On my todo list for this week.
