Yes, using titanium backup also ensures removing the associated data of those system applications.
and FYI Cim_XII what he was discussing is completely in-topic.

and for the others posting - it's about WHAT can be removed, not HOW it can be removed...

please mention also which build are you using: country (UK, Global, HK, etc). Each build of different countries has different components bundled in the rom.

Well I don't know if it matters - as long as you've got any of the mentioned apps/widgets etc. installed you can remove them without turning your phone into a slimmed down brick
But my particular phone is an International/Global LT15i

Updating the first post wil be handy, so you don't have to search in this thread
also maybe handy to know what you can't remove.
You can also remove: HDMI
and don't remove "infinite view" this will break the contact view.

since I use widgets to Bt, wifi etc.etc. of Third Party

I'm also waiting for the beta to get stable before I try. After all we all know that 2.1 is the end of story for X10 while X10 is capable of running 2.3 or even higher.

That would be most helpful, i have already removed some - using the 'clean' option in flashtool, but i de-selected quite a few from the automatic list as i was a bit unsure!
So... Can somebody explain to us which apps are doing what so we can choose what to remove and what to not remove? Not wisepilot quadrapop etc but the other ones with the confusing names.. Some services for example.
Here are some confusing-but-safe-to-remove apk's:
- CrashSMS (DebugHelper (Service))
- FaceRecognition (the main thing that eats your speed - does not affect Face Detection in Mediascape or Gallery3D)
- LearningClient (Word-Learning for the default keyboards)
- neoreader (New Barcode app)
- OMAClientProvisioning, OmaDatasyncService (Part of the Sony Ericsson Synchronisation)
- PcCompanion (Disables the popup when you connect the USB)
- PicoTts, TtsService (Speech)
- qcsemcservice, SemcCheckin (send crash info)
- ReadyToRun (removes the SMS record)
- SnsContactImageCacheProvider, uWlopProvider (Part of Timescape)
- touchnote (New crappy Note app)
- UserDictionaryProvider (self explanatory)
I hope this helps.
deleted some now i get

It certainly does - thank-you. I would like to ask the following before i remove them (I have backed-up with TB)
1) can i remove all other "sonysync" elements/are there any apps that use the same icon (as you view them in Titanium Back-up) that i should not remove!!??
2) will removing this mean i cannot use any voice activated features?
3) SMS record?
4) Will this prevent any other keyboards learning words?
Thanks again.

did you do a full back-up? if so restore it as a simple fix.
have you re-booted since removing them - reboot helps
I find that once you have un-installed system apps you find an entry in menu/applications/manage applications. some remnants of the un-installed files (data and caches) click on them and select uninstall - reboot once finished. I don't know if this is causing your problem - or if it help, it's just my (limited) experience!!
Your other option is... if you can get this far - long press on any text entry field and select the "input method" option.. then select a different keyboard..
or you can reinstall the keyboard from here..

im on cm7 and they install fine
May be a 2.1 thing. I'll be rooting to 2.2 eventually but right now I'm on 2.1.

Did all that. (Oh btw, now on 2.2). If I try to put the widget on the home I get FC. If I open it up I can see all the sections, but no content shows up. If I try to add social networks it FC.
EDIT: Timescape seems to work now, but not the widget.

You need two more things for timescape widget-Arc home launcher and timescape libs(dont know which ones though)

Excuse my ignorance if this has already been discussed but I have downloaded and tried to run the flashversion that is availible for eclair but webpages that contain flash crash my browser and kick me back out to the menu screen. Why I want flash is to be able to access the RTÉ Player here in Ireland but it requires flashplayer to work...

Flashplayer won't work, it requires CPU with ARM v7 architecture.

Titanium backup - Freeze-able apps

Hello all.
I have just bought titanium backuo to be able to freeze the launcher that i do not use in the hopes of extending my battery life.
However furthur reading seems to tell me that many more things can be frozen. I dont know if there is an improvement, i dont even knoe if it actually is running.
But my point is i would like to create a list of apps that are freeze-able.
I have tw launcher frozen
Live wallpaper
Most of the bluetooth things
And my phone is still functioning well.
So please add on to my list of freeze-able apps.

-Buddies Now
- Email (coz I don't use it and it is always running in the background)
- Gallery (I don't use it and it is always running in the background)
- Maps (I don't use it and it is always running in the background)
- Market Updater (i hate the new market)
- Readers hub
- Social hub
- Yahoo finance
- Zinio
Here is a list provided by pulser_g2 from the Samsung Galaxy S2 forum:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...SENVeXlqUm5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html
I think that the Note should be pretty similar, take care though and don't blame anyone else if anything goes wrong!!
Root App Remover. It will mark apps that can't be removed/freezed with red text, so you can't accidentaly remove important apps like phone.apk, settings.apk etc.

If you freeze using Titanium Pro, then backup the "frozen" apps, you will have them available to "unfreeze" and restore. I suggest you freeze and then check all is OK before you uninstall them...

Get Best Battery From Galaxy Note 2 (most samsung devices )

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

A FULL LIST OF ALL THE APPS YOU CAN FREEZE ON STOCK 4.3 IS NOW ADDED IN THE ATTACHMENTS (BELOW THIS POST)
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.
Regards.

Thanks,...and not only removing bloatwares/greenifying some apps, some more guidelines should be added, like-
- 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
- avoid widgets, cause every widget has service(s) always running in background
...some more, can't remember right now.
And it should be universal, recommendation for specific rom is contradictory with the purpose of the thread.

music.apk/music2.apk is for google play music. you can remove it or move (install) to data/app, or install form play store to save more ram.

and for the OP, its better to explain the use of each apk's. so we know that we really need or not needed so we can safely remove all/partially of them.

On KitKAT google play music is 'music2.apk' not music.apk. these things should be described. And I know these remove/freeze/move/install things mate ☺.

sorry mate, just try to help, i think there is no music.apk in 4.3 + (if Im not mistaken) music2.apk upgraded music.apk version.
yes, the op should describe, not only link it to another thread. i totally agree with you @nitol
Hi,
Thanks for guide and help but I wonder what usability of device will be left if all these apps are frozen. I guess my approach is little better (you may check my signature)
He said freeze/disable not remove. anyway nice guide but need some specification.

So you are able to use specific apps/features with their apps disabled/frozen ?? Well, I guess nobody can.

I wasn't talking about comparison. I meant by being "safer". There's gonna be many who would just freeze/disable all these and flood various threads that "this app/feature is not working" or "that stopped working" like WiFi Direct, DLNA, Email, Weather, etc. I meant by that.

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.
