[TUT] Remove Junk Apps + List (4.1.A.0.562)[Updated for ICS!

] Hello guys, as you might remember I posted a tutorial on how to remove Junk Apps for 2.3.4 f irmwares. A lot of people requested the same for 4.0.3 - so here it is guys I decided to open a new topic to keep it clearly arranged for Android 2.3 and An droid 4.0. So let's get started: How to delete the Junk Apps: Go into "system/app" with Root Explorer, in that folder are all the Junk Apps. N ow press "Mount R/W". Now you can delete the Junk Apps one by one or multi-selec t them. To have a backup of the apps, I'd suggest you to move them to the sd car d. It's good to make a folder called "Junk Apps - name of the firmware" on your sd card. Now select the apps, press move and go to the sd card and to the folder "Junk Ap ps - name of the firmware" and press paste. Done.
