Thanks. Peep is gone now.
I flashed the stock apps because I wanted the gmail apk but it also installs the gtalk apk. How do I remove the talk app?
EDIT : removed post as follow-on posts indicate removing google Talk can result in issues.
You could just remove it, but on most roms (not sure about xtrrom) it will fc on boot if you remove google talk.
I'd keep it. Your phone will work without it, but the Market will not work correctly without it. The downloads will just hang.

There are two parts to Talk, the app and a secondary app that handles or is used to handle the Market downloads. If you have Ti Backup, just put Talk to sleep and it will not affect the Market activity.
Gmail uses Talk for pushing mail. Don't remove it if you use Gmail.

Gotcha, can see it isn't running so I'll just ignore it.
Thanks everyone.
You can just remove Talk.apk which is the front end (and icon in your programs). TalkProvider.apk is what cannot be removed...
Hope this helps

You're supposed to be on a well earned vacation!! Hope it includes your bike.
If you want to remove it through ADB:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
Code:
rm /system/app/Talk.apk
often messes up phone

Agreed, this worked for me. Gmail works fine with Talk.apk removed.
Anyone get the Genie widget to work? I tried to load the one I used on mts3g and it is FC'ing.
I have no idea why Google doesn't publish this widget to the market.

Oh yeah!
I was removing some bloat after rooting, and everything I removed seems fine except one thing. Whenever I get an email, and pull down the notification bar and click on it directly, my email app force closes(using stock google app). If I go to the email app itself and then view the email, it's fine. Does anyone have any idea what the apk I removed that could have caused this,and if so does anyone have a backup they can upload, thanks!!

Do you happen to have the apk, or know where I can get it?
I downloaded the magazineapp, that didn't seem to fix it, I think I'll just re install the original EMAIL client APK, does anyone out there have that or a link to it?
This is driving me crazy, text message notifications don't seem to bother it, and I can set my emails to not notify in the notifaction bar and then they work perfectly when I go to open them. But if I set them to show in notification bar(which i need for my work exchange server) it says sorry, email has closed. Even if I don't pull look at the notification, and go directly to the email, it closes on the first try, the second time is fine

Have you tried booting into the stock recovery and clearing cache?
yes, same problems
I'm having the same issue. Using stock email app, connected to exchange 2007 server and keep getting weird force closes when opening items from the notification window. I've been going through unfreezing apps 1 by 1 but so far no joy.

Use a file explorer and drop the apk in the system/app folder and change permissions to match other files in that folder.

After getting FC with Exchange account after freezing a variety of apps in TiBu (generally the same ones frozen on my VZW S4), I've had to go back to defrosting everything, and only "Turn off" via application manger. I could never quite figure out which one(s) were causing it, but Exchange wanted the magazine app, Ant, and other what would seem entirely unrelated apps to be enabled. As much as I hate crap running that I neither use or want, the Note 3 has so much RAM and horsepower that it really doesn't seem to matter.

There seem to be so many who wants to get the best battery life from their Note 2 so i thought of making this small guide to help them
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For rooted users and non-rooted users, but rooted users have the advantage here as they can use 3rd party apps like bloat freezers and titanium backup.
I don't recommend deleting system apps permanently from the system due to the fact that if you accidentally uninstal an important system app it could create system force closes ect.. But if you freeze the apps you don't want then you can always de-freeze them whenever you want and it's very safe and could be handy at times.
For root users i recommend titanium backup to freeze and De-Freeze applications
For non-root users > Just go to settings>Application Manager>All ( select the app you want and Select "Disable") , this is also like freezing apps using titanium backup but the apps you can freeze are limited due to the fact that you don't have root permission but still you can freeze more than 70% of the apps to free some ram and save some battery

Now install Greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
and add all the applications you installed to the apps Greenifing(hibernating) list so they will only run when you actually won't them to run and after u turn off the screen they will automatically force close But remember not to put your widgets or apps you use very often to like whatsapp , viber ect... as they will not give you notifications or update as they will be forced close by greenify along with all the other apps.

If you want to do more to get the best performance from your device and if you're willing to take an extra step forward , try this app too "Fast Reboot" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot This wil not reboot your phone but will perform a quick system refresh like as in windows, Just try and see

If you want to go extra further saving battery and ram and using a rom with minimum bloat but with Spen features , Try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462614 .. about 95% of the bloat is removed but still very stable and smooth with root and everything (570MB rom). try that and install greenify. you should get around 18h phone usage under moderate use and if you're extra careful with the apps you use and know how to work em out you can get more than 1 day usage

Note-
>when you turn off sync it will not sync your contacts with google so i don't recommend it but if you want, you can do it and then do backups manually
More tips from Nitol
- turn motion off
- display brightness always auto
- use blackish/dark wallpaper
- sync always off, turn on when needed
- don't use vibration
- don't clear memory/ram from task manager
- do battery calibration in proper way after flashing a rom

Real screenshots from my phone. The last picture is the ram usage after the freezing. (this was right after i flashed the stock rom and frozen the apps. so this could change depending on your rom setup
Thanks for a detail thread, but why are you saying the music.apk(music player) is a bloatware? Rest all at the list are fine. But if all the 'allshare' files are removed, then 'screen mirroring' (on n3 moded rom) will not work. Could you please add some more explanation about removing which file may stop other things to work?
Thank you so much again for the effort.

ofc not, my point is, if your app is frozen, you can defrost if you need to use it, unlike removing your app, which is totally removed permanently. i think you can clearly understand now lol

Well for your 1st point
not everyone use the stock Music player on their devices right .. including me .. and that's the reason why i named music.apk as a bloat so u can keep it freezed where it won't run in background as it does
And the all share files and screen mirror, not everyone use those features also right? i mean it's not like we use those features daily. so why give ram to that when we can just keep it frozen and de-freeze it when we actually use it ?
Same goes with wifi direct if u ask me
just de-freeze it when you wnna use it so that way we have more ram and can get a good battery life ultimately
it doesn't take much time to defreeze few apps right so it's a small price to pay in order to get a good battery life with more free ram.
well it might be just the way i see it. but it's working pretty good for me.. hope it does for you all .. that's why i shared this

As i replied to nitrol, we don't use wifi direct like every day and that's why i said it's ok to freeze it to get some more Juice
just de-freeze it when u wanna wifi direct and that's it .. it costs some time but that's worth it i guess when compared with the battery an ram u save . that's just the way i see i guess

don't freeze everything i've mentioned here, just freeze what you don't use. You can guess what app you're freezing when you read the name , if you don't know what the app is when you read the name it's just a system fine that we don't use or don't need so just freeze and see what happens but i assure no force closes or any other errors will come, but if any errors pop .. just de-freeze the frozen apps and see. You will get a good battery life and more free ram after freezing these apps.
