Im new to blackberry but i was a rooter and always tinkering with my android, so i read about shrinking the os which i plan on doing to my 9930. i was wondering if anyone has a list of things that are or arent safe to uninstall.
Thanks!

some people have had bad experiences shrinking OS7, i know myself i have been boot looped a few times

you really dont need to shrink right away

run it and then see what you dont use, and shrink after

ive never had an issue shrinking. im sure there a a few guides on here if you poke around in the hybrid section. i used to shrink all carrier bloatware, all languages and all fonts. thats pretty much it. if you use one of the popular shrinking apps, it does all that for you by just checking boxes. do some research before you tinker, as fubaz said, you could brick yourself.

First of all, it's not necessary to shrink os7 like some previous os's. I did shrink push-to-talk, amazon store, fonts, languages, games and some social media that I never use.

are languages still safe to shrink out as in previous builds?

should be. when you shrink all languages, it leaves english as a default.

Yes you can shrink languages.

I removed a bunch of stuff using Desktop Manager - languages, facebook, and more. I just UNticked the various "apps" using DM and then let DM do the removals.

This is what I do as well. Have done this to many of my blackberrys. Why have unused applications and such take up valuable space

I took them all off mine
