    Default What bloatware apps/processes are OK to disable?

    I don't really care to root my device just yet, but I do want to disable some of the junk on it. Here's what I've disabled + cleared data for so far:
    -Amex Serve
    -Amazon MP3
    -Flickr for HTC Sense (I never use Flickr)
    -IMDb
    -NFL Mobile
    -Reign of Amira
    -Slacker Radio
    -Tunein Radio (I already have the Pro)
    -Stocks
    -Verizon Tones
    -VZ Navigator

    Any more optional stuff I can disable? I noticed that Amazon has 4 services and 2 processes running at all times; likewise, Maps always has 2 processes/2 services. Does VZWAPNService need to run at all times? I know removing these things wouldn't make a significant difference, but I might as well get rid of whatever I don't need. Thanks!
