Unable to use Titanium Backup to freeze bloatware - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I read somewhere (cant seem to find the post) that you can freeze apps using TB to stop them from loading. I have TB pro and it cant see any of the apps I have installed.
In the Backup/Restore tab only shows 5 items:
-Application Widgets
-Accounts
-Bluetooth Pairings
-Country, Language, Time zone
-Wi-Fi Access Points
From looking at my N1, this is where you should see the apps.
However if I go through terminal and do pm list packages I see all the apps, wondering why TB cant see them. TB lists it has su rights in the main screen, though.
FWIW Im rooted (s=off) not sure if i need to do anything else.
Anyone got any ideas or if experiencing the same? Or a list of what stock apps to disable? Have heard conflicting reports, some say disabling tmo apps is fine, htc apps leave alone and vice versa.
thanks

Sounds like you need to adjust the filter settings?
Sent from my HTC Glacier

filters are set to show all.
if i try changing filter settings the 5 items listed disappear. its only under filter setting System that I see the 5 items. but otherwise if i set to show all on all the filters only see the 5 items.

Did you hit "Problems?" and update to the known good working BusyBox yet?
Also you can't be on Disk Drive mode (USB charging) or TB won't recognize apps

that's what i forgot to do. got used it prompting automatically on the N1.
thanks for that.
now if only we had a running list of what we could disable, that would be great.

Hidden apps and connection status

After searching both here and on google I have not found anything so I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me out with two minor annoyances.
I have noticed that several applications can run without showing up in the task manger (both dutty and the regular one).
Is there a way to see and/or close these applications?
I have WorldMate installed and even though I have disabled auto updates it still connects. So my second question is this:
Is there a way to see what applications are using a data connection (preferably the exact executable)?
Thanks in advance!
I think the standard HTC one (included with the phone) is able to shut down more, but l'm not sure about your problems.
If you have a search through the apps section then i think I've seen something in there that tells you what is using your data (data monitor of some sort?)
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Owen.
in standard task manager click menu view processes to see lots more of what is running.

[Q] force close on Acer apps ?

I have a problem with the Acer "apps" on my a500.
when I launch the eReading, Games, Social and Multimedia shortcuts I get a force close on the process "ApinAp (process android com.acer.app)" I have tried to clear data in "ApinAp" but it did not help... it worked when I bought my A500 a week ago.
but I don't know when it stopped working.
if anyone have a solution or a good idea to try please don't hesitate to answer ;-)
Reset it. There's probably a bad app having it's way with your tablet and causing the instability. If it continues to happen on stock, send it back.
Start installing your apps back one by one with time in between to test. Eventually you'll be able to track down the one app you shouldn't be using.
I have the same problem. After rooting, I restored *a lot* of the backups from my 2.2 phone. I uninstalled some because they didn't play nice with honeycomb, but I still haven't been able to find the culprit. Also, restoring the backup from their original, pristine condition did not help. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows which app(s) is/are responsible for this.

Ideally, you should post all the apps you've installed so anyone coming across this thread can scan what you have and have the chance to see an app that is knowingly bad.
You should always restore to a factory state to make sure it *is* a bad app though. That's the only way to verify if it's Honeycomb or a tablet hardware issue as being the cause rather than a rogue application.
Also, don't install *questionable* apps from *shady* sources. Eventually, this kind of thing will happen.
Well, I have installed lots of free apps, so it would take a while to post them all here. I have removed a few but it didn't help. It could be anything, of course, but I suspect it must be one that has root access. When I tried freezing a few likely culprits, it didn't change anything though.
Do you by any chance use morelocale 2?
I had some force closes and it was because my tablet was using a language that it didn't like (together with my Contacts) so I had to change some settings (use different locale or delete any custom characters from my contact list) and it worked.
I have the same problem. I restored apps from the android market because I couldn't figure out how to make market enabler work in the beginning. Ever since all the native apps are force-closing.

I have removed morelocale2 and the problem persists. However, Even after removing it, the added localisations seem to persist (for example, market is still translated to greek). Does anybody know of a method to completely remove its effects?
Removing locale won't disable it's effects. You can set it and them remove it and the settings will remain as you've set it.
You should reinstall it and then set it back to default settings and see if that helps you problem. My problem was an unsupported language that I've set in it and that caused crashes.
I redownloaded it and reset the settings to English (US). When I did that, the apinap force close message reappeared, so there must be some connection. Then, to make sure, I rebooted and tried the apps. Even though the new/old localisation was working as expected, the acer apps still force close, giving the same error as before.
Odd. Did you enter the info (in morelocale) manually or did you use the two selection buttons and pick the language from there?
I just picked it from the selection list.
Then it's not the same as my problem. But I still suspect that it has something to do with locale.
Do you have any custom characters under your contacts. Because that can cause problems (I've stumbled upon it when I was looking if anyone is experiencing the same crashes as I was).
If you do have them (any greek lethers and such) then try disabling google sync and wiping contacts and see if that helps. If it does than it's your contacts (some people reported that some unsupported characters and multiple notes could cause crashes on tablets).
If it still crashes then just enable sync again and restore the contacts.
I don't know what else you could do if you still experience crashes after that except a hard reset to check if that helps.
Thanks mate, I tried this too. In fact, I also removed everything with any Greek character at all. No luck at all, so I will give it a rest. I will just keep the apps in case they are needed for the 3.1 update.
I never used titanium backup, but if anyone is restoring a full backup set from this application and any honeycomb only settings gets deleted or written over by 2.2 information, you will probably have a crash..
just like flash 10.3 has 2 different libraries loaded, one for 2.2 and one for 3.0 , but only installed one of them, your device with flash will FC, when flash suddenly uses 2.2 libraries.. so not all backups and apps can be easily restored..
you will need to test the apps backed up, and avoid restoring any system settings.

The OCD's Guide to Removing Bloatware!

So..
I hate having bloat on my electronics.
So much so that I go far above and beyond what most people would do. (uninstalling a few of your carriers apps)
Basically I will list APK's that can and can not be removed over the next couple of days.
Will probably start on this tonight and add to the list from there..
Keep in mind this is using a custom rom (insert coin), but I will try to keep this broad for everyone using stock or custom roms as both will have a lot of the same system apps. Which is what we are looking to remove.​
This is the method I am using to remove these!​​

Also any help would be much appreciated, or if someone sees a sys app that isnt on the list that is not apart of a specific rom.
I am still on stock... And it probably doesn't need asking, but Amazon and Amazon MP3 can be removed as obvious bloat.
Also, I do not use "the Facebook" so I am planning on getting rid of "Facebook" and "HTC Facebook" which I can't imagine would be a problem... The only pause I had was that the OP has HTC Instagram listed as "unsure" to remove but that may be because he is an active user.
Edit: I removed:
Amazon
Amazon MP3 (system app)
Facebook (system app)
Facebook for HTC Sense (system app)
...so they can be added to the "Safe" list (for stock anyway).
Note: Just an FYI...when I disabled Kid Mode (I was S-On though), I lost T-Mobile's WiFi calling ability.

stumbled across this today, very useful!!!!
may be worth adding that if users remove apps on rooted stock rom, they will need to restore these to apply any OTA file

I would suggest freezing them, rather than deleting them. You can't use that space anyway, because of the partitioning, and it is a lot easier to freeze/defrost than hunt down a backup.

You can't do anything to them until you disable them first. Titanium uninstalled them, but then they reappeared after reboot.
With regard to OTAs, I am rooted with TWRP, but was getting pestered to do an update. It now has downloaded on its own.
I read elsewhere this forum that it won't update though because of the custom recovery... and may even bootloop trying to update. Anyone know what I should do with this update?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hmm, it may make a difference that I am S-off as well as BL unlocked, and have been since day one. So far, TiBu works like it normally should on my phone, and I've used it to freeze a lot of stuff Sense wouldn't let me disable (system apps). It's possible that S-on phones ignore TiBu's attempt to freeze.
Since I have never spent an appreciable amount of time S-on, or run into these issues, I'll defer to a more experienced person on that.
Freezing bloat is always better than uninstalling it. The apps take up very little space. You can unfreeze if you have an issue. And you can still take an ota. Uninstalled them and you can not, until you find them and install them again, or return to stock.
Just my 2 cents. ?
I have just been disabling system apps under settings. It seems like more stuff is integrated in this version of Sense--which makes it harder to even do this though.
As of now, I have disabled Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, FMRadio widget, Lookout Security, and Set-up Wizard. I am going to experiment with disabling some more items tonight.
Anyone know what HTC Recommend (ver 2.0.772578) is? It has the option to be disabled from the app settings menu, dont think I use it so might just disable it. The same for FlexNet?

GPS working intermittently

I have a rooted Galaxy S4 with 4.4.2 Android installed. I installed the app "Uninstaller" and have uninstalled LOADS of crapware off my phone. Everything was working great until I started using the GPS. It was working and then while I was driving it just said that the GPS signal was lost and no matter how long I waited it wouldn't get a signal again. After rebooting the phone the GPS worked again but only for a little bit.
I have the following apps left on my phone according to the Uninstaller app:

As you can see I am a minimalist kind of person and have obviously deleted something I shouldn't have! Therefore, does anyone know what apps I need to restore to get the GPS to work 100% again? I have kept a backup of all the apps I deleted in Uninstaller so I can restore them...once I know which ones need restoring.
Can anyone assist please?
Provide a list of all the apps you removed, as it may be easier to pinpoint which app needs to be replaced.

Theres 230 of them, is there an easy way to get a list of them?
If on Windows, open a command prompt. Navigate using the CD command to the directory where the apps are stored. Type "dir /b > filelist.txt" and post as an attachment here.
For example, if the apps were stored on external drive G, in the directory Android/Apps, you would type the following commands:
Code:
G:
cd android
cd apps
dir /b > filelist.txt
If the apps are stored on your MicroSD card, you'll need to transfer them to the computer, as the command prompt doesn't understand the media transfer protocol used for the connection between the computer and the S4.

Very helpful, thank you! I have attached the file list.
Odd that you removed the Play Store (Phonesky.apk), Google Services Framework (GMS_Core.apk), and Google Search (Velvet.apk) from the device. I personally would recommend restoring all three to /system, even if you have updated versions in /data/app. Many device functions are routed through the Google Services Framework or the Google Search app, or both. And having a version of the Play Store to fall back upon in case an update becomes corrupt is never a bad thing.

I don't use any Google services and all my apps are installed manually by installing the APK file. I don't even use Google Maps for GPS. Currently I use CoPilot for my GPS stuff. Surely these Google apps wouldn't affect CoPilot from functioning correctly? I'd really like to keep this a Google app free phone (oh the irony considering Android is Google!)
My guess is that I have uninstalled a core system app that the GPS software needs. Its just weird how CoPilot will be happily working away giving me directions and then BAM...it doesn't have a GPS fix to the satellite anymore and the directions stop!
Well, unless you try them you won't know. You can always take them back out.
I'd have to take a look at my list of apps and see what I kept that you didn't, as I don't have problems with the GPS suddenly up and quitting.
EDIT: I've posted mine below, which is based on FailoFAX's debloat list. There's way too many files you removed that I didn't to make a judgment call here. So I'm going to recommend two ROMs for you to solve your problem.
1. Install a Google Play Edition ROM and take the time to remove the Google Apps. This is good if you want dead stock Android without any added customization whatsoever.
2. Install CyanogenMod or another AOSP ROM, and don't download or install the Google Apps package. You get some custom features not found in the GPE ROM, but also don't have to pick through the system and remove the Google Apps.
I'm recommending either of these above because the ROMs are essentially barebones as is, and need little or no customization to be useful.
Thanks for the helpful reply. I'll try restoring the Google apps this evening when I get home from work.
Appreciate the ROM recommendations but I (shock horror) like TouchWiz (I like the interface) so thats why I use the official Samsung ROM and the remove all the crapware.
I've had a look at quite a few of those debloat lists and some are quite useful but theres always apps that no-one knows what they do.
I think if I reset my phone again I shouldn't remove so many system apps!
There are plenty of things to like about Touchwiz. The launcher isn't one of them, which is why I use Google Now or Apex.
The debloat lists here in the forums tend to provide the right balance between functionality and size. For example, my list above netted me a 700MB savings. Especially as much of it is bloatware.

Yeah, after deleting all the bloat on my phone it came to about 950MB!
So I restored Google Play Store, Services Framework and Search and I have done two trips today with the GPS working 100% (ie: it didn't stop working while giving me directions).
Now I am going to start removing the Google apps one at a time and then test the GPS again after uninstalling it to see what is causing the GPS to fail.
One issue though. After reinstalling the 3 Google apps I get this error message after I have entered the SIM PIN and the home screen appears:
Unfortunately, Google Services Framework has stopped.
All I can do it tap ok a few times and it then goes away.
After uninstalling Googe Play the GPS stopped working again halfway to my destination today. I think I am going to have to reset the phone again as there are other strange things that are happening on the phone (phone calls sometimes don't connect).
What is the best way to reset the phone back to the factory ROM? Do I just do a reset from settings? Or should I rather use TWRP?
You can do a factory reset through TWRP, but starting from scratch with a ROM flashed via Odin might be best. Of course you'd have to debloat again.

Ok, so last night I did a complete factory reset and reflashed the original ROM. I've used the GPS twice today and so far it has been fine. I'll test it some more this weekend. I have uninstalled about 174 apps.
One thing I noticed today. Usually when I would receive a call I didn't want to take I would turn the phone upside down and the phone would stop vibrating. Now when I turn the phone upside down it continues to vibrate. Is there a setting I need to change to enable this feature? Or have I uninstalled an APK I shouldn't have? I have attached the most recent list of apps I have uninstalled using Uninstaller.
Thanks for any help!
In this case it seems you don't have the mute or pause turned on in settings. Go to Settings > My Device > Motions and gestures > Motion > Turn Over > Mute/Pause to enable it. If that's not working, try replacing SensorService2_5.apk.

That did the trick (ie: going in to settings and enabling...I didn't restore the APK)! Strange, I have never set that before when I was using Jellybean!
I went for a long drive today with the GPS turned on all the time and it worked all the way.
When first running Uninstaller on KitKat/Galaxy S4 there are 283 apps. I currently have 110 apps installed (so I have uninstalled 173) so its looking good so far. Time will tell though! I would like to delete another 20 or so apps but I want to do it in a more controlled manner! The next batch I would like to uninstall are:

"Features" missing from MM, after update.

I've updated from KK to MM (Note 4 f version).
I seem to have lost certain features from the "upgrade"
1. Can anyone recommend a multi window app, that wound allow me to add custom apps to the supported app list. So I can use them in multi windows?
I've used this in the past https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bjbinc.mwmphone but it says I need to be rooted. Which I am.
I don't think it's compatible with MM.
2. Is there a do not disturb mode within MM, that allows you to block mobile data between certain times?
I used to use it in KK, to block data through the night, but, MM's version just seems to block sounds etc.
3. When using KK, apps like Clean Master, used to allow me to block apps from secretly starting up and allow me to clear cache/junk.
Since updating to MM, Clean Master and other apps I've tried all fail to do either.
They appear to clear the cache/junk, but if I reboot it's still there.
(At the moment I'm using "App Settings" via Xposed to block app start ups).
4. Is there a way of unlocking the phone from off, using the fingerprint scanner?
At the moment, I have to use a password (not pattern) and then use the scanner from sleep.
The Samsung Tab S2, allows a pattern or password from off and then the scanner from sleep.
5. The handwriting to text converter in S-Note as been removed in MM.
Thanks for any help.
Reply to your 2nd question :
Download a app called 'profile scheduler +' from google playstore and install it. Edit the normal profile according to your needs. Then edit any other profile and give it DND as the name. Configure the various settings for DND profile and save it. Then create a new rule. Set the activation and deactivation time. Set the rule type as scheduler. Save it. Make sure that the new rule is prefixed with the green symbol in tasks list of the profile scheduler + app. If you like, purchase the pro version which will come without ads. It is cheaper too. Enjoy.
Reply to your 3rd question :
Download and purchase (to disable the in app ads) app cache cleaner pro app from the google playstore. Configure it so that the app which uses maximum cache space is shown first (size descending order). Just make the app to manually scan for temp / cache files.
"Go to the individual app properties in the settings --> application manager (in android 6.0.1) and tap on storage. Then choose clear cache"
Do as said (in double quotes) for each and every app.
What to do man?. Google is removing all essential features :
Android 4.3 - Access to flight mode by all third party apps is disabled
Android 4.4 and its sub versions - Write access to the memory card by all third party apps (lile x-plore, es file manager, bookmarksb pro, app backup and restore pro etc) was also blocked
Android 5.0.1 - battery draining quickly
Android 6.0.1 - Disabled all third party apps to access the bookmarks of the stock browser. Because of this, the facility to import the bookmarks (from the stock browser) to the android firefox is also missing in the firefox settings under android 6.0.

Thank you very much. I'll try that out.
I couldn't find "profile scheduler +", but I guess you mean this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wetpalm.ProfileScheduler
The other 2 apps called "profile scheduler" seem to be for audio only.
Yes. The same app. Enjoy. I think buying option is within the app.

OK, thanks.
I've just tried the app, but I can't make it switch off mobile data at a scheduled time.
If I do other things within the same rule, like switch on WiFi, switch off BT and increase brightness, they all work.
So I know I've created and activated the rule.
For #1, you can use Firefds Kit xposed module.
For #4, you can use No Lock Home xposed module (but only works when connected to wifi).

Awesome, thank you.
Firefds Kit, is a million times better than the current version of Wanam i.e. most things work on MM.
I've not tried the other one, I don't leave WiFi on.
Have you also lost notification previews by any chance? I'm unclear as to whether this is just me or the same for everyone.

Have you also lost notification previews by any chance? I'm unclear as to whether this is just me or the same for everyone.

I see the settings, but can't trigger to stop Mobile Data. The others, like WiFi can be triggered.
I've also installed Tasker and Secure Settings, to try and alter Mobile Data.
But, Secure Settings (which I think is needed to alter things like Mobile Data & GPS), says I need to root the device.
I think the problem with apps like Clean Master, Cache Cleaner Pro, Profile Scheduler, Tasker and Secure Settings, they all need root access to alter system permissions.
I've got root, but they aren't triggering Super SU to allow root and so those apps think I'm not rooted. And don't work properly.
Clean Master and Cache Cleaner Pro, appear to clear the cache, but they don't delete anything.
Maybe the problem of not seeing root, is something in MM or maybe it's because I'm using the latest beta version of Super SU?
See this
See the attached file of the profile scheduler + app.

Yes, I see the menu on my phone too. Except I've altered the Mobile Data to off and there's an empty circle to the right of the screen.
Hey. Just tap on the circle. The value will change to no change, yes or no.

I have done that.
Off = empty circle
No change = yellow circle
On = green circle
As a test, I've set Mobile Data to off and WiFi to On, within the same rule, to trigger at a set time.
When I run the test, the WiFi switches on, but there's no change with the Mobile Data.
I've a different question, if you wouldn't mind answering:
Is it possible to configure a long press of the recent apps to show the multi/split window screen, instead of the wallpaper/widgets/home screen settings screen (like when you long on the home screen)?
When I do the above on the tablet, I see the multi/split window screen.
I think mobile data is indirectly controlled by android restriction. I didn't use that restriction. If you want to cascade view a app, just rub the display with a single finger from top right to the bottom left.

No it's not the cascade view.
I see this type of multi window screen on my Tab S2, when I long press the recent apps button.

You may have to root via system-mode rooting not system-less rooting. Some apps like Tasker's Secure Settings doesn't work with system-less rooting.
There are SuperSu versions that uses system-mode rooting. But you also need a permissive kernel like Xceed and H-Vitamin in order to properly install the system-mode rooting.
But I think even after successfully rooting your device, third party apps cannot still turn off the mobile data. You can only put it to airplane mode at specified times to disable mobile data.
