OK thanks, will give it a go!!!

you will need to root it first (z4root works great) then use something like root explorer to remove crap. there may be more to remove but that is where I stopped for now.

OK I have rooted my Mini, run Root Explorer but if I try to delete say Facebook I get the message "Facebook 1.1.2.apk cannot be deleted because the file system is read only". Can't rename it either. What am I doing wrong?

btw Also tried Super Manager.

On my Scroll I managed to rename the phone apps but can't remember which file manager I used

Root Explorer will work and do what you require as you have root access.

Actually just found my problem! Had to change 'Mount' to R/O in Root Explorer

i backed up all my apk's in case you phuq up. Also I have the stock music and new you tube if you want them.

Oops Sorry- I forgot to mention that part, that you need to do with root explorer too - but you got it sorted anyway - Nice one

In case I what? Managed to avoid it so far but point taken

Thanks for the offer but shan't bother with music or You Tube on this particular gadget!

fair enough. If you really want to strip it down i'm sure there is more you could take out I just haven't had time to look any more this evening

I am attempting to backup using Titanium Backup but it just keeps on 'searching application data' and gets nowhere. Is there a better way?

you can put clockwork on it: http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mob ... ur-device/
I just copied all the apk's onto my SD card
