Removing bloatware from a 6852 ROM



Can I just delete APKs from an .img and then flash it?

I've got an Onda V96 3G tablet - a MediaTek 6582 based device. By default it comes with a lot of "interesting" APKs preinstalled - Chinese app stores etc.

I've downloaded (and flashed) the original firmware - which also contains the bloatware.

I've mounted the filesytem and can see an "app" folder with a bunch of APK and ODEX files.

Is it safe for me to delete the bloatware from the .img file, repack it, and then flash it onto my tablet? I'm using the SP Flash tool for Linux if that makes a difference. Thanks :)
