I'd like to discuss which System Apps can be safely frozen with the new RAZR/RAZR MAXX Jelly Bean 98.72.8 release that many of us have manually switched to. I've taken a full inventory of System Apps and listed them below including which ones I've safely frozen (not removed) as of 12/28/12. This list is generated from a RAZR MAXX that was updated to 98.72.8 and factory data wiped.

Your comments and opinions are welcomed so that we can create a reliable list that I'll gladly maintain here.

Here is my addition, ones in red should only be frozen, the ones in bold can be removed only if you have a replacement app in place, and the rest can be uninstalled. With the exception of AcousticWarning (a new one) I have done this safely for previous ICS and this JB OTA.

RescueSecurity and Help Center should ALWAYS be frozen or removed unless you want Verizon to have easy access to your phone. Besides the 2 BugtoGo files in BIN I am sure they have more ways to spy on us but we really make it too easy with the afore-mentioned apps
