Rogers Wireless Stock + Rooted ROM - Debloat & Battery Drain Fix - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

After getting my S3, I noticed two things that I really wanted to accomplish:
1. Improving the battery life without decreasing performance
2. Removing the random Rogers apps + S voice stuff + other bloatware
I improved the battery life by installing CPU Sleeper (running v2.1 atm). Before installing this app, I noticed that my phone would randomly get really hot and the battery would start to drain. This app makes sure that the phone goes into deep sleep when not being used and does not waste your charge.
I removed the following apps using Titanium Backup Pro and have not noticed any change in functionality. I did not need any of the Samsung features so I removed those as well. Frankly, I don’t think S Voice works as well it could be and is not very useful at this point in time:

I am currently running the rooted stock ROM for Rogers and get about 16-20 hours of battery life on a single charge. LTE is enabled, GPS is on, Notifications are enabled, Sync is enabled, Smart Stay is on, and Power Saving mode is disabled. I am sure if I disabled some of these features, the battery life would increase. I do not see the point in doing that since I would be compromising on performance. The only thing I don’t use is the motion control, but that is because I don’t like them.

Some of the services you nuked may be core to getting things like AVRCP working.. If anyone is following your footsteps with this shotgun approach to removing files, they may want to freeze them first and run it for a bit before nuking the files completely..
the first thing I did with the phone is freeze all the rogers-installed bloatware.. didn't remove it.. but froze it which really is the same thing as far as the phone performance and battery life is concerned...
few of the items you listed were truncated as well..
from what I could see as well from the list, quite a few of the things removed aren't actually apps that run in memory randomly.. so they would not have adverse impact on your battery unless you use them..
regardless, good work and try and give an update down the road with progress.. how much improved the battery is, and did it break anything...

Why do you guys use Titanium to freeze them? I disable the bloatware in app settings and that seems to do the trick.

I froze all of these apps for over a week before removing them. All my services are running fine. I just recently deleted these and have not had anything go wrong on the system. I also did a complete backup before deleting them so if I ever need them in the future, I can restore using titanium.
My intention was to provide a list of apps that are safe to remove for people running the rooted Rogers stock ROM. There is a lot of stuff available for the American providers but I have not seen anything explicitly for Rogers. Figured this would be a good way to start.
As for the battery life, I used to get 10-12 hours of usage (at most) before. The main problem was that the phone would be in standby and start heating up by itself (this happened before and after rooting - rooting the phone did not cause it). I used CPU Spy to monitor the processor and I noticed that the phone was constantly clocking over 1300 and was rarely in deep sleep mode while in stand by. After installing CPU Sleep (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745516), the phone has not over heated even once and I have been getting battery life ranging from 16-20 hours (depending on usage). It can probably go for longer but I go to sleep and end up charging it (I don't need it to go longer). The key thing is that I have all the features enabled and do not need to compromise on performance.

I have brightness set to auto as well but GPS is on. Are you using stock ROM?

I find it's easier to freeze them.. The pre-installed rogers apps can't be uninstalled without root too.
Thanks for the info Jauwad. this is definitely a good start while we wait for custom roms to come out.

I like Titanium. Does a thorough backup of app + data and you can sync to dropbox for remote backup just in case something goes really messed up on your phone. I tried disabling some apps from the OS before but it ended up enabling a couple of them. I could have probably froze the apps and not worried about deleting them but I deleted them anyways just because I could

I use titanium for backups, configured it to save backups to my external sd card. You should be careful what apps you delete, as some apps can effect others. I just disabled on the os, and the headache is gone, but I can bring them back if my warranty so dictates. If you use titanium I advise to freeze and not delete.

Yeah, I guess it is always better to freeze. Once again, I did freeze these apps for over a week before I uninstalled them. I did not notice any system issues which is why I then uninstalled them after backing them up. For future though, I guess I can just freeze and leave it alone since its practically the same thing, especially if I am backing up the file.

Apps safe to freeze on Galaxy Tab with Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM

Hi guys,
I flashed the Gingerbread stock ROM, courtesy of Chainfire (see thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854) and noticed there are no threads about apps that are safe to freeze/remove from the system to improve performance and (maybe) battery life as well.
Therefore, here is my compiled list, along with some info on what the apps do. Please note that this list of safe to freeze apps apply to the Galaxy Tab running the stock 2.3.3 ROM only. The list of apps is different than the one on the 2.2 ROM, although some are the same.
Note: I use TitaniumBackup to freeze apps. These apps are safe to freeze no matter what app you use to freeze them.
Note2: Safe to freeze (in the following list) means your Galaxy Tab will work fine without it and other apps won't crash / not work if you freeze something. The apps you freeze will no longer work until you defrost them, though. Where dependencies exit, I will note them.
So, here goes the list (alphabetical). First, the "no dependency apps":
AccuWeather Clock => widget
AllShare => DNLA client/server
[BOOKMARKS] Browser 2.3.3 => Chrome Browser. Freeze if you use another
Calculator => simple calculator
Calendar Clock => widget
Daily Briefing => widget
Date, time and weather => widget
Date time or weather => widget
Digital Frame => nightstand app. Freeze dependencies as well if you don't use it
Dual Clock => widget
Google search => widget,app. Freeze of not used
Home screen tips => widget
Live Wallpaper Picker => Freeze if you don't use live wallpapers
Magic Smoke Wallpapers => live wallpaper
Music Hub => Samsung app
Music Visualization Wallpapers => live wallpaper
News & Weather => widget
Pico TTS => Text to Speech (reads text for you). Freeze if not used
Pulse => news reader. Freeze if you use another
Readers Hub => paper, magazine and book reading app. Freeze dependencies as well if not used.
Samsung keypad => Freeze if you use only Swype
Sketch Memo => simple drawing app
Social Hub => Samsung app (frontend for email accounts). Accounts work normally without it.
Talk => Google talk application
ThinkFree Office => office suite. Freeze if you use another or don't use it.
Voice Search => Google voice search
World clock => simple world clock management app
Y! Finance Clock => widget
Youtube => youtube app
Now the list of apps that others depend on. Only freeze these apps if you plan on freezing the parent app as well or don't use it:
eBook => ebook reading app. Readers Hub depends on it.
Kobo => ebook reading app. Readers Hub depends on it.
Music => standard music player. Digital Frame depends on it. Freeze if you use another music player.
My Files => email app depends on it. You can't attach files without it.
PressReader => newspaper reading app. Readers Hub depends on it.
Program Monitor => widget. Samsung Home depends on it
Samsung Apps => samsung market. Supposedly updates samsung apps. Freeze if you don't use samsung home or apps installed via Samsung Apps.
Samsung Home => Freeze ONLY if you have another home replacement app (another launcher / home).
TTS Service => Pico TTS depends on it
TwWallpaperChooser => samsung wallpapers
Video => Video player. Freeze if you use another video player
Zino Reader => magazine reader. Readers Hub depends on it
Blocking all of these WILL NOT give you more space on your device drives. It will, in some cases increase the amount of RAM available. Currently, I have not blocked all of the above as some of them I actually use (like youtube, lol).
I have 242 MB free RAM after a clean boot-up. Also note that a clean boot for me includes ADW, Pure Messaging scroll widget, Beautiful Widgets, 3G Watchdog, SwypePad, WidgetLocker and Multitasking Pro all started at the same time. All of them are memory hogs, so your restuls may be better than mine after you freeze all unneeded apps.
Only a couple of the apps in the lists above actually use up RAM. Best things to freeze (if not used), should be:
Pico TTS & TTS Service
Everything related to Samsung Home (wallpapers, widgets etc.)
Y! Finance Clock (for some reason it runs in the background even if not used)
Readers Hub (for some reason it runs in the background even if not used)
Music Hub (for some reason it runs in the background even if not used)
Pulse (updates news in background as service)
News&Weather (runs a service in background)
AllShare (runs a service in background)
User reported successful freezes without noticeable impact:
[SMS/MMS PREFS]Messaging 2.2 => messaging app. Thanks to Sef_P1000 for reporting this.
Street View => google maps extension. Thanks to pendevous for reporting this.
Maps => maps application. Freeze if you don't use or have a different GPS app. Thanks to pendevous for reporting this.

You can set the Pulse to not run any updates in the background. I froze almost all. A reboot gives me 276 free ram with widgetsoid, player pro widget, twicca, adw launcher ex and thumb keyboards running.
Gmail can also be frozen if you use a different email app. Same goes for the default email app.

I use GOsms for messaging. is it safe to freeze the stock sms app?
- [SMS/MMS PREFS]Messaging 2.2
Thanks on the way!
My Pulse still runs some service in the background after disabling automatic news updates. I don't have a problem with data usage; RAM is golden for me on the other hand.
Regarding the messaging app "[SMS/MMS PREFS]Messaging 2.2", don't disable it!!!
On top of managing your messages and showing you a list of them, it also manages the SMS center information and distribution of messages. So, even if you don't need the front-end you will still need the back-end.
Hope this helps!

I just did. goSMS still works. It's so much better now. Before, when I receive an SMS, I get TWO notifications, one for each SMS app. Even if I open the msg from goSMS, the notification for stock SMS is still there. Now it's fixed.
I will do more observation, including MMS. Thanks anyway!
I have updated the first post to include your report. Thanks a bunch!
However, in theory you COULD still encounter issues at least when changing SMS/MMS setup such as message expiration time, sms center number etc. On the other hand, how often would you actually do that?
Probably never, but you should write an update in case you notice anything funny :-D

That's pretty weird. Have you updated to the latest version of pulse? I updated it at once. After closing it, it doesn't show in my "running" apps, nor can I force close it (since it has already been closed).
You can also freeze Maps and Street View, btw.
wow, ive been looking for something like this for ages! thanks!
@pendevous: after a reboot, the service was not started anymore (defrosted it, disabled updates). Guess something wasn't stopped correctly or got hung up.
PS: updated main post.
Thx for the tips.
CM.
Why install pulse and then freeze it? Why dont you just not install it in first place if you dont want to use it.
Am I missing something here?

Updating to gingerbread will you give you the old version of Pulse included. I think that the op thinks it's part of the system.

Even if it was you can use a program like SystemApp Remover to uninstall it. Much better then freezing.
Kinda... The 2.3.3 ROM comes with Pulse by default. Although I kinda like Pulse, I've moved to Taptu for the time being. Similar interface, but smaller footprint.
Update: I know it's not system app, lolz. Point is, if you remove it outright, will you be able to update later? It is part of the ROM and by all standards considered bloatware. Should be frozen unless used. I highly NOT recommend removal.
PS: why not remove Samsung Home as well if not used?
Anyway, there you have it )

Titanium can also uninstall system apps . Freezing is a way to "hide" an app and reduce mem usage without really uninstalling it. It's like putting the app in cold storage!
Yes Titanium can also unfreeze just in case an issue comes up that you will need the freezed app....
Good to know thx for this thread
I removed all the bloatwear from system/apps using root explorer all working great no force closes now i have it the way it should be.

Scrolling tweaks - Better, faster and stronger scrolling
Flash-Led Tweaks - Better flash-led intensity and camera-flash quality
Video-Streaming tweaks - Smoother and faster internet video streaming
I'm not sure which tweaks I should use and which I shouldn't combine (because of battery-life and performence/stability).
I know this question is a "little bit" stupid (sorry^^).
Another question: Is it possible to bind Google Now voice to the long homekey-press so voice control launches immediatley without having to tap the microphone/saying "OK Google" (like Siri)?
Thanks in advance!

Wow, that's aggressive debloating. What's your experience with disabling the phone manager app? This app includes a lot of battery saving feature. Are you observing any detrimental effect on battery life?

No, I use greenify app for background management and clean master app for junk clean up and Ram space control.
I find clean master widget is more convenient and I can see the real time Ram usage.
There are no other functions I need from the phone manager app.
With the greenify, the battery usage is almost as low as a Nougat based system. Very little usage when it's sleep. It's better than what I've seen on other Marshmallow based phones.
Again, YMMV.

OnePlus 3T Optimization

I'm posting this based on a number of requests from other users; regarding optimization of the OnePlus 3T. In general I feel like this phone is already very good. Has great performance and a solid battery. The one issue I suffered was the "Mobile Radio Active" bug. I will explain more about it in this guide.
NOTE - This guide isn't finished yet. I'll try my best to get to it when I get a chance, but for the time being I will share with you all what I have documented so far. Some of my content was referenced from other online sources, so I want to be sure that I state that.
If you have any questions, suggestion, or are interested in adding to this, please let me know.
Before we begin, I’ll start out by listing my configured device. My configuration may be different than yours due to the rom. If you use a custom rom, you need to be careful with some of the options.
That being said…
I am using the 64Gb OnePlus 3T. My bootloader is unlocked, my device is rooted using SuperSU v 2.79 and I use the custom recovery “TWRP 3.0.4-1”
The applications I use:
Amplify - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce
ForceDoze - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze
Greenify - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
L-Speed - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paget96.lspeed
LeanDroid - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.leandata
Naptime - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze
Power Nap - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jzhang.powernap
Xposed - https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3921508&d=1477916609
Xposed Framework - http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip
Some of these are personal preference so you don’t need them if you don’t want to.
NOTE – Also, I am on Stock OOS 3.5.4. The reason for this is because I was experiencing battery drain due to a bug known as “Mobile Radio Active”. This is a bug that affects users even with the new OS, and unfortunately I don’t think it has been fixed even with Nougats new doze feature. Basically even though doze is enable, your radio still draws battery in the background even though it’s not in use. Xposed has a plugin to fix this issue; however since Xposed isn’t available for Nougat this is why I am still on Marshmallow.
You can read more about the bug here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-mobileradioactivefix-t3189393
And the fix is here:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.mobileradioactivefix
This is a fairly in-depth tut, so I’ll try to go through this as quickly and painlessly as I can. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Power Nap for Xposed is the SONY's stamina mod for non-Sony devices. When your screen is off, Power Nap maximizes your device's deep sleep time by stopping services, alarms and wakelocks from waking the device when the screen is off. You can get notification from the apps you've whitelisted.
Set the Endurance Mode to Always ON.
You can use Power Nap along with Greenify and Amplify for a better sleep time. You have to whitelist both Greenify and Amplifyfor proper working of both the modules.
If you use IMs and need Push Notifications,you have to whitelist those apps along with Greenify and Amplify.
See My list Of whitelisted apps.(Varies according to users):
• AndroidSystem
• Greenify
• Amplify
• Xposed
• Clock
• ForceDoze
• LeanDroid
• L-Speed
• Powernap
• Naptime
Greenify and L-Speed in 2K17. haHAA
Ignore the idiot above i have proven greenify makes a difference because doze on the go is a thing. Why are you using 3 doze apps that essentially do the same thing, just use one.
Also get rid of L-speed its a pile of crap flash franco kernal and use the battery profile or flash elemental x and use AKT.
Regarding that bug can't you just disable synch on everything that's what i did on everything except gmail and calander and i have no issue
@EuEra
Yeah regarding the doze, I was trying to figure out which one worked best for me. I'm still trying to figure out which one does the best job.
Which doze app do you recommend? Also thanks for your suggestion of the kernel. I can give them a try and see which one suits me. Do you have a preference between the 2 you mentioned?
One of the doze apps that I use actually does a good job of stopping all sync's like you mentioned, but I have to look back at it and try to figure out which option would work best for me. I appreciate the input though. As I mentioned if I get some more time I'll try to investigate this a little further and update it.
Also, are you running Marshmallow or Nougat? If nougat, which firmware are you on?
@xpissio - Lspeed might be unneeded, but you don't have to come off negative. You laugh about it, and maybe it's unnecessary for the OP3T, but I will tell you when I had the S7 it was a VERY much needed app due to the lag of Touchwiz and Samsungs overbloated crap on the device. In that regard, I do find the application useful, and maybe some other will too.
As for Greenify, I do believe that's a solid app and it DOES indeed help all phones regardless of how good your battery and performance is.

Personally i prefer elemental x with the AKT tweaks you get a lot of control over what specifically you want for example i use the extreme battery saving profile (there are about 6 different profiles each for performance, balanced and battery) just search oneplus 3 akt in google. A lot of people love franco kernal as well it has 1 profile for each he has an app to go with it a free one and a paid one with more features.
I only use naptime, i am on the latest nougat 7.1.1 OOS 4.1.1 obviously i don't have exposed or i would use power nap as well. I think it's worth backing up and trying the latest OOS unless you really need xposed or something.
What battery time are you getting? On average i get 2.5-3 days with 6-8 hours screen time.
I get what you're getting now in terms of battery life, but when I went to nougat, I was lucky to get a day out of my battery. I don't even use it that often. I mean I use facebook once or twice a day for maybe 15 mins, I don't play games, I use hangouts as my messenger, but most of the time I message from my computer as it is. Honestly I was shocked when I barely had a day out of the phone because when I went to the battery stats it only had about6 apps listed there and they were all system apps. Then when I went to "Cell Standby" option I could see the Mobile Radio active was consuming the 2nd most amount of battery despite screen being off and device being idle.
Anyway, thanks for your input. I went ahead and tried the franco kernel atm on my current MM rom, but I will consider giving Nougat another shot. Thanks for your feedback!
OnePlus 3T with Resurrection Remix Nougat (Official)
Normal use: 1,5-2 days (Selected sync on, dual-sim, Data always on, Auto-brightness) - Phone calls, Messaging, Messanger, bit of Facebook and Insta or YouTube.
SOT ~ 7-9hrs (best results were about <11hrs, but in my opinion it's not something that you can get while normally using your phone).
My suggestions:
- turn off selected syncs, that you don't necessary need (in my case Google Docs, Photos etc.)
- Ambient Display
- Low on gestures
- Dark themes in custom roms or Dark Mode in OOS
- Animations in 0.5x or nothing
- Don't kill apps in recents, let it work by itself
- Turn off auto update apps or notify about updates
- Low on widgets
- Turn off background data in Facebook/Instagram and all unnecessary apps
- Turn off vibrations, if it's not that important to you
- Get rid of Google App and Google Now if you're not using it
- Block location authorizations as often as you can
- Use dark wallpapers

Dzieki Potr!
Jesus, 9 Apps, Xposed, And a page long list of blocking stuff? And in the end you randomly stop getting notifications (my experience with greenify)?
On my Note 4 i did similar things to get through the day (2 hours SoT) but the 3T is really great in that regarde.
I'm on stock OB4, Franco Kernel without battery tweaks. No aggressive doze, or any battery saving options and i get over 3 days of standby with 6 hours SoT. This includes BT Streaming which drains without the screen being on.
I really see no need for any restrictions on this phone. Except when you install Facebook. Which you should never do. It's a well known fact that facebook drains your battery like crazy. Even if you never actively open it throughout the day.
about L Speed: It depends on the phone and on the usage. On my Galaxy S5 and My Oneplus X I can get like 30% more SOT with a little bit more performance. My 3T I can user three days and I have a 6h SOT. With L-Speed 6.5 - 7h. But it doesn't make the screen on time better for me, rather the screen off. I have with L-Speed 0.2% battery drain in a hour with the screen off, compared to 0.7-0.9% without.
My advice: Try it out and give the amazing dev a feedback. He's very friendly and he helps if you have a bad result.
If you have lower performance or more battery drain with L-Speed and you don't wanna give feedback, just uninstall it and reboot -> all changes are back to stock
Thanks all! The feedback is all good. The problem with phones is everyones experience is going to be a little different. I agree facebook/messenger drains battery, but there are other apps as well that do the same... playstore, google now, etc... I like googlenow because of the updates I get for weather, sports things like that. However it does use up battery and resources in the background even when it's not in use. Facebook; same thing. I like staying in touch with friends and family. If there was a less resource hog version of these apps I'd definitely consider without it limiting my options. The utilities I posted are just some of my preferences, but I'm always open to hear suggestions and others' recommendations.
I agree with the battery life, in general I'd say it's very good, but from my experiences in the past I just had bad luck I suppose with the "mobile radio active" bug; as I have explained above. It's really a hit or miss sort of thing. I've done clean installs, full wipes, etc and it seems to still be hit or miss for me. At first I had several days and then after about a week or 2, I noticed the battery life dropped significantly. That's when I used these utilities to help out with the life of the battery and for me it made a difference.
I actually REALLY like nougat, but I also use a few plugins I really like that require Xposed framework, which obviously isn't supported in nougat yet. I've been busier than normal last several weeks, but if I get a chance to backup everything I might consider doing another clean install of nougat and see how things go.
these features can also be found in the custom roms anyway

1st of all thank you for the post and for other people who replied , I think ( hope ! ) That I learned something , and I'll try to implement it.
2nd as you said for Facebook alternative I can recommend "Friendly" or the other option is "Simple" it's a framework app for the Facebook web , try I think you will get it useful and battery friendly
Never liked the Facebook app for Android and never understood the need to make two separate apps. The need for the app then the messenger is totally useless. There are tons of Facebook alternatives, but why download those alternatives when you can view Facebook through mobile browser. You would think that with the billions Facebook makes they'd have a better R&D team working on a better Facebook app without 50 permissions and battery hog.

Why even bother for any apps when you can get notifications of Facebook on chrome
