GT-S5282 - Apks safe to delete/freeze

All,

I have a rooted GT-S5282 with Android 4.1.2. I keep the phone for backup in case primary phone has a problem. It is also occasionally used for media playback.

I wanted to trim the phone down so that the performance can be improved (both battery and speed). After a detailed research on the "Internets", I came up with the following list of apks that need to be retained on the phone. Few of the apks are frozen just in case they are required in future. If an apk from stock is not in this list, it means it is deleted.
