[Q] What is "AdService 1.0"? - Droid 2 General

On Titanium Backup, I was getting rid of some system apps that I didn't want, and I came upon "AdService 1.0", if I delete this will it get rid of all the advertisements on my phone?

I don't know if removing this app will get rid of the ads, but downloading Ad Free from the market will.

Nothing will disable all ads.
But, to answer your question, i've tried freezing it, and i've had no adverse effects, but I don't really see any ads disappearing either.

I got rid of the stuff on mine by rooting the phone using the one click root, then i uninstalled them using titanium backup.
After that I ran a lag fix and the phone flies!
yup titanium backup is the best App to remove those junk included by the cell phone providers
you can easily backup first, then uninstall
so in case of crap happens, then you can easily restore the backup

Don't have one so I can't confirm but a few people have said there is not much bloat on there. Most apps can be disabled in the Application Info, which is what I did on my Moto X 2013.
Sort of. 98% if the bloatware from Motorola, Verizon, etc. can be disabled under app settings.
you can freeze em and lock em, and they will not appear in the launcher but you can't delete em.
I disabled about 7 apps

same here, started with the amazon apps
Once Lollipop is out, the bloatware will no longer be installed as a system application, you will be able to remove it just like any other application.

Which system app is required for USB to work?

Froze a bunch of apps with titanium backup.
Anyone know what app I need to unfreeze for USB to work?
Thanks!

Select one by one. That or see if you froze a system app. Why would you freeze a bunch of apps unknowingly what they do?
Thanks for response.
I just went through and froze a ton of apps that didn't sound important.
Not greatest plan but worked out besides this. I did manage to freeze about 150 apps and now I run at about 800mbs of ram used.

Good God! You may want to read up on the TB app to know what and what not to freeze....i can see why some of your device isn't working correctly....lol
haha!
I figured it out. It was the greenify experimental xposed app.
Thanks for the responses

Apps still updated after disabling automatic updates

I disabled automatic updates in playstore settings but for some reason apps are still auto-updating. Its getting to be pretty annoying too because every time I remove a bloatware app it just downloads and reinstalls it.
How do I stop this??

Try clearing Play Store data/cache (settings->apps) followed by a reboot. You will need to update/reapply personal settings, including the master toggle for automatic updates.

Most of them are in the oem partition anyways. So remove them from there. But do it in twrp file manager, because trying to edit oem while booted will lock up the device.

Did Davey126's suggestion of clearing the Play Store app settings fix this for you?

Clearing the play store cache did worked for a few of the apps but the ones in the OEM I effectively deleted in twrp. Turns out the OEM partition on this phone is largely useless bloat and not much else.

Also before deleting from oem, first just try renaming them (with a ~ at the end for example) to make sure it's safe to remove. Then boot up and check, if all is good then you delete if you want. Many people delete things, then come back here asking if anyone has a copy because they deleted something they needed.
Just to be safe.

Yea this ain't my first rodeo. I've bricked far too many devices to make that mistake again. I only did away with the crap I was 100% certain was just that, crap, ie boost zone, amazon, facebook, etc. Though I'm still trying to figure out what it was I removed that rendered system webview permanently frozen, but I made a separate thread regarding that.

I was talking to the person I quoted. To make sure they did it correctly.
Sounds like you did a bunch of stuff that could have caused your issue.

System ads !!

How to Stop System ads? it's Keep showing every time & i want to stop it without rooting system ?
This isn't normal behaviour. You've installed a dodgy app.
This phone does not come with any system adds, you've accidentally installed some spyware. If you can think of a game or an app you downloaded recently uninstall it, otherwise start uninstalling everything or just downright wipe the entire phone

This looks like a typical interstitial ad I get with within some (free) apps, are you saying you get this outside of any apps?
