With JB, there are still some you can't disable that don't appear to be vital system apps; but the vast majority you can simply deactivate from Settings > Apps. | |

The other half I can disable. The services I tried to bold alarm me, but I simply don't have the time to figure out which ones are expressly needed. | |

| Aug 19, 2012 at 15:58 | comment | added | Sam Dunlap | @Al-Everett Not all of them, though. And the ones you cannot disable are..._concerning_(?). Disconcerting might be the word I'm looking for. Some of the ones you cannot disable are seemingly too innocuous to not be cause for concern, if that makes sense... | |
