I have searched for about 30 min now and can not find what i am looking for.
Does anyone know if there is a list of apps that are safe to freeze?
I am rooted and on stock rom and do not want to change much stuff, I would just like to freeze some of the stuff that I will never use.
I have Titanium Backup Pro.
Thanks in advance.

I tried Titanium once, and when I try to restore a backup with Titanium, it does not restore my market apps.
So I know this has been discussed before but I cannot find even one answer for this because I do not understand much in android phones therefore I have no idea what clockworkmod is or nandroid is.
I want to get transfer to a new rom with all my apps, themes, info, accounts, widgets, wallpapers, and even my homescreen layout. Is this possible? Please explain because Im a noob. THANKS TO ALL WHO HELP!
Check my signature.
Thanks, but what I need is not to backup the apps so I can restore if I F up. But I need an app that will transfer everything to my new rom. Which Titanium Fail to do in the past because it showed my market apps to be grey (This happened in my Rooted HD2)
Now that I have 'rooted' my Iconia Tab a500, and thank you to the folks on here for making the process very simple, what is the app I should use to delete some of the unwanted blotware? I have looked at several file managers but do not see the option for delete. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thank you

I used Root Uninstaller (Pro). By the way, don't uninstall things, it's better to 'freeze' them (the app is capable of doing that). That way you don't delete anything accidentally, and the frozen apps won't start or show up in the menu.
The free version of Root Uninstaller can freeze, but cannot unfreeze the apps (you need Pro for that). It can uninstall them however, but then they're gone forever unless you can get them from somewhere else.

Titanium Backup can freeze/backup/uninstall, etc - IMHO it's the best you can get
By the way, what exactly is 'freezing'? I know what it does in principle, but I'm curious about HOW it does it Thanks.
"Freezing" to open more ROM space?
Perhaps "freezing" means the program will not be loaded in ROM or RAM, not sure. If this is true, this would be a way to make more space available in ROM. Comments?
Hi,

thx to Sboulema!
So, today I rooted my note using Zerg-rush exploit and got the My Backup app.
So, my question is, can someone provide me with a list of apps/services that I can safely freeze with no adverse effect on functionality?
( Maybe I'll compile a list of all such apps/services that you guys mention, so that other n00bs like me can benefit from it.)
Thanks in advance.
You can use Root App Remover. It can freeze and delete stock applications. The ones with red text (contacts, settings etc.) can't be removed, so it's pretty safe to use it if you know what you're doing. Do not delete random stuff just because you can. If you for example want to remove the stock keyboard remember to have another keyboard installed.
But it's totaly safe to freeze/delete the third party Samsung/carrier apps, but again be careful.
Ok, so just wanted to check with others here who have used TB for a long time. I do have the pro version. I am just used to being rooted before I restore between one phone to another.
So I have my backups from my S6 and I want to move them over to my S8 now. Cept S8 isnt rooted. Anyone know any potential issues with the new version of android and TB or anything for me to make note of before just blind restoring?
Also The freeze and chuck norris mode. Anyone tried TB for blocking OTA and other bloatware yet on their S8?
Thanks.
There's no root on the s8 so no one tried anything yet, you can try using smart switch to see if it'll move apps with data or use helium since it can handle data also.
Moving apps and data is generally just a recipe for trouble. People often find that things crash or use loads of battery power for no reason when moving apps and settings. It MIGHT work ok, but the safest way to guarantee no hard to diagnose issues is to let the play store reinstall the apps and data that it has saved and then manually reinstall the rest.
Well with TB Restore. Did it HAVE to be rooted to work? Thats the part I cant remember.

It happened the same to me with other phones, I can give you a recommendation:
Try only to Backup USER APPS because the system's app & data are incompatible with other Roms & with other phones.... Just Backup and restore user apps and then you'll have to configure system apps again, because of the incompatibility. Also, there are some apps that can only be used in determined Roms and/or determined Android version (some apps for example, are compatible with Jelly Bean but Incompatible with KitKat or the reverse of this, etc. and so...)
Good news is.. Root is now here.
