facebook showed up on the market

Not tab optimized

Er, I hate Facebook. But, can't you just use the browser for it?

Friendcaster works great on the tab!

I have it, I paid for it because it work great but then it was updated and tab optimized and the issues began. Some stuff will not show up on status updates, I can no longer sync to my contacts, which was great because my texting app (heywire) would show a picture of the person I'm texting with. Also if I click a photo someone posted it shows a completely different photo.
All that also happens on my cell phone along with the tab. I check it in the web browser now but sometimes the app was just faster and more easy to used.

Even though it's not optimized, I'm glad they finally updated it to include support for tablets. I was using the Samsung Social Hub before and just installed Overcome's ROM so I can get rid of the Hub now.

I tried FriendMe, Friend Caster, and just found Facebook (official?) apps. I still prefer to use the browser...
Facebook app keeps force closing. Can't check friend list. And it seems slow to load anything. For me the web-based UI is what I am familiar with and the one I seem to keep going back to.

and if u want u can remove MAPS if u dnt need it, coz it occupies hell lots of space.
HIT THAKZ IF I AM ANY HELP

Actually, they all increase the space of internal memory and thats it, it wont make a difference in performance or RAM (except MAPS).
You need to freeze these apps for max performance:
1) Wsynclmps
2) DRM content(DrmUA)
3) Pico TTS
4) TTS Service
5) Software Update(syncmldm)
6) syncmlds
7) Email
8) Email widget (remove these two if you use gmail app)
9) FmRadio (freeze it and unfreeze when needed, they sometimes makes some wakelocks)
10) Social hub,SNS integration and SnsAccount(SnsProvider.apk and SnsAccount.apk) (Freeze them if you dont use fb integration into phone, you can use fb app still)
11) Samsung Account(signin) ( Its crap, play store is way better)
I have the above all apks deleted and have no problem in my phone, just freeze them and unfreeze them if you face any problem or need to use any feature

Curious about cm/aokp gapps and TW

I have never been a touchwhiz fan but since I just moved to the S4 thought I would give it a shot. The one thing I really miss is the blacked out apps that are available on open source roms. Can I use titanium backup to install a few of those apps? I would really like a gmail, google now and facebook for example. I know that the gapps packages aren't compatible and I'm sure the question is answered somewhere, I just haven't had any luck finding it.

[GUIDE] Nexus 5 apps safe to remove

Hi there!
I've put together a spreadsheet of apps that are (or so far seem) safe to remove from the Nexus 5. Note that I am running 4.4 KitKat, which has been unlocked with TWRP and rooted. The spreadsheet comes from the combined efforts of hallstevenson's spreadsheet on the Galaxy S3 for Spring (which I adapted and updated for the Verizon version), and referencing MoJo's script for removing Nexus 5 bloatware. I used Titanium Backup to go through and type in the packages and APK names.
CLICK HERE FOR ACCESS TO THE SPREADSHEET [GOOGLE DOCS]
Click the "5.1" tab.
If you have questions, comments, suggestions, concerns, or want to tell me exactly where I'm wrong about something, please leave a comment here! If such a list already exists, I couldn't find it through searching. And if I'm in the wrong category, I apologize; seeing MoJo's script here led me to think this would be the appropriate place.
**UPDATE FOR LOLLIPOP 5.1**
Here are the apps I've personally removed, if anyone is interested (this list changes with each update):
Basic Daydreams
Cloud Print
Downloads
Earth
Email
Exchange Services
Fit
Hindi Input
Korean Input
Google Now Launcher
Pinyin Input
Books
Movies & TV
Newsstand
Text-to-Speech
iWnn IME Japanese input
MusicFX
News & Weather
Nfc Service
Slides
Sun Beam
Tags
Talkback
Trusted Face (Facelock)
Wallet

Thanks dude!
Nexus 5 Droidkang Rom and Chaos Kernel, ART/OC/UV.. super smooth, and blazing fast.

Anyone have any insight?

Updated for Lollipop!
I'm back with an update! You can use the same link above. Note that this time I've added a tab for Android 5.0 Lollipop. (There's also a tab for what I believe is 4.4.4, which I started and didn't finish... Sorry!) Again, I'm on a stock ROM from Google's firmware page, and I used Titanium Backup (v 6.2.0) to go through this list. I had a couple of app updates after flashing the new ROM, so the version numbers might not quite match up. As usual, let me know if there are any issues, or if you've figured out if an app can be removed that I've left blank. If you're going to be adventurous, it's best to freeze an app and test rather than delete it, and make a backup before you delete.
Enjoy!

Can we get rid of Google+ and still be able to have a photo gallery?
I tried freezing it and I couldn't access my photos because I had to enable Google+.

Not sure. I'd think the Photos app would still work, but maybe not. I actually use Google+ on a constant basis so I haven't removed the app.

You deactivated the exchange services, so do you get any emails with auto synchronisation ? Or are the exchange services only for the E-Mail app, which isnt working on L anymore?

I removed the email exchange services because I do not use them. I strictly use the GMail app. I imagine they still work fine!

Bump for 5.0.1 update (see original post)

Hey, I am a tad bit confused here..
I currently have two Exchange Services.
1) com.google.android.gm.exchange
(ver. 6.5-1520254)
2) com.android.exchange
(ver. 4.4.4-6936)
I'm sure the second one is the one I can delete but was just unsure about the first one.

The first one is the one I have marked as safe to delete. I don't know what the second is, maybe something left over from KitKat? Try freezing them with TitaniumBackup and reboot, see if they give you any issues. If they don't, make backups and remove them.

Okay, I didn't think this would have much to do with it but I am using Slimkat 4.4.4, so I didn't think to look in the 5.0 tab. I shall see what happens when I freeze the other EServices.
Thanks for the reply.
Edit: Well, I have backed-up both Exchange Services and removed them both and nothing seems to have changed *Shrugs* Ahh well.

Well, generally speaking, you should be looking in the tab for your current Android version. (Or as close as your custom ROM gets.) The list is based on a fresh install of the ROM, so if your apps have updated since, they'll show different version numbers and possibly different locations, too. Something I didn't think to include in my post, sorry!

Well I flashed the ROM last week, so anything could have updated. Anyway, thanks for the help. I just wanted to have an opinion on the random system app first before I went ahead and removed it.
Cheers.

The first works with gmail exchange second is for email app exchange. Should be no issue deleting both. I use 1 and delete 2.

Do not remove g+ on lolipop if you want photos to work. They are linked

[No Root] Useful Apps (Stock Messaging, Lightbulb, Facebook Messenger)

Decided to make a post of useful Apps (with Nexus 5 in mind) that don't require root. I personally use these on a daily basis and haven't ran into any issues. Please report back if you do encounter any problems. Also please keep in mind, these are intended for those running stock 4.4.4 and are not rooted. As always, use at your own risk.
Messaging com.android.mms.apk
Android Stock Text Messaging (The "Attachment" menu has Sound Recorder "com.android.soundrecorder.apk" actions, highly recommend to install this as well)
Lightbulb com.paranoid.lightbulb.apk
Standard Torch
Facebook Messenger com.facebook.orca.apk
Installing this dummy apk tricks Facebook into letting you use Facebook's internal messenger without the need of the separate Messenger app. Please uninstall Messenger before installing.
CyanogenMod File Manager com.cyanogenmod.filemanager.apk
Basic File Manager

Just FYI, the stock messaging app is nice but try this one out. It's based of the stock messaging app but has a lot of additional features. It's really the best SMS app I have used.

I don't understand what the Facebook apk does. How is it different to the normal one?

Facebook is disabling the chat in it's main app and asks you to download it's separate Messaging app. This lets you restore the messaging functionally inside the main app. You can Google "facebook forcing users to download messenger" if you need to know more.

Is anything truly secure? This simply is a dummy apk that I compiled. It requires no permissions and you should never see it running. Facebook does a check to see if you have the Messenger package "com.facebook.orca" installed. This dummy apk contains the same package name and tricks Facebook. That is all!

That facebook apk is a godsend, THANK YOU!!

Thanks! I was looking for the Lightbulb and the Cyanogenmod file manager

Facebook messenger don't work anymore.
Can you fix it? Thanks
