Do we have a list of systems apps that are safe to freeze in tibu. I am mainly looking to freeze bloat and prevent unwanted ota updates without softbricking. once we get the bootloader and custom recovery it wont matter. But untill then i would just like to be on the safe side and not delete anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Is it safe to freeze AppManager on stock 6.1?
I don't have TWRP and have already frozen most of stock Amazon apps, however, wondering if AppManager can be frozen without bricking the tablet.
I have a European LG G2 and i want someone to tell me which system apps are safe to remove with titanium backup.
Anyone?
It isn't wise to remove system apps first place right out of the box. Instead freeze them with TB, that way, if glitch occurs later, you can enable the app again. If missing nothing and phone still performs what it supposes to be, then it's safe to completely remove.
I have a rooted G2 on VZW and would really prefer they leave it alone. No custom recovery so I don't have /system access to add/remove/del apps. Is there another way to block this update?
Sorry, apparently this is a minor update, not Lollipop yet. Still interested in blocking all updates because the phone is just fine as is. Is it best to just install twrp or cwm and remove the update apps?
Use Titanium Backup to freeze 'system updates MUC'.
Do you have to leave Titanium Backup installed or can you freeze and then remove the app?

Good question. I don't know the inner workings of the freeze option and couldn't say for sure. You could straight up force remove the updater app also. I just recommended freeze in case you ever changed your mind and wanted to attempt an update for some reason.
Hi guys,
I have always been contempt with my factory Note 3 image, but there were always a few things that I didn't like, like a bunch of bloatware apps that I could not uninstall. I have simply disabled them. I tried one of these uninstall apps and it said I need root access to remove some apps, would root access actually allow me to remove these apps?
If I root the device and get rid of these apps, and then remove the root, would they re-appear after a lollipop update if it ever comes?
I am planning on using Towelroot to do the rooting on the phone as I believe my software version is old enough.

1. Yes, root access give you perms to delete the bloatware that bother you. (Ex: HERE).
2. The bloatware will re-appear when you flash a new firmware ofc.
3. Towelroot works perfectly for what you need :highfive:.
So I rooted and installed Titanium Backup. Now I can remove the bloatware from the stock rom, aka "system apps".
I had experience in the past with a Moto X when some things stopped working after removing some system apps, and had to factory reset it.
Any of you have experience on this? Which ones I should avoid removing?
Thanks.
