I just spent some time trying to figure out what had broken my contacts functionality and this was it. Again, removing "blur_yahoo.apk" and the associated .odex file will break the contacts app. After removal, clicking on a contact in the dialer/contact app will just shut the app down. I've no idea why, since the yahoo app is for yahoo mail.

I was having this problem until I unfroze the yahoo apps.
Updated 12.11.2011
I missed the other unwanted system app (bloatware) thread for the SGT so originally started this one. Hopefully with a bit more help from a few of you I intend to make it as complete as I can.
In my opinion freezing option on the donate version of Titanium is the best way to go but there are a couple other less safer solutions. Even though some items are listed as safe to uninstall I wouldn’t recommend it. Freeze and if you have any issues its easy to fix.
Freezing apps has definitely almost doubled my battery life but I also UV and UC so the credit is split. None the less there is no doubt in my mind that freezing has contributed significantly more to extending my SGT battery life.
In any case below is the list of all the system apps reported to have been frozen by me and a few other users without noticeable issues or loss of functionality. Doesnt mean there isnt an issue, maybe we just dont use the feature or and have not discovered it. Some that are not used may have been replaced with another from the Market.
Please correct any mistakes you find or add to the lists either by adding more things that can be frozen or by advising on which ones not to touch. I will try to update to the original post when I find the time.

With all these apps now frozen I was wondering what you use yout tab for?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
For some i have better and more efficient replacements but normaly use it for emailing, various messengers, as a phone, listening to music, check weather, check currency rates, unit conversions, facebook, linkedin, booking hotels, playing games, a lot of thethering, alarm clock, google maps to find my way around, trapster to avoid speed cameras, recording meetings and conversations, take pictures, notes and of course for watching porn.
Do I need to do more or is this sufficient use of my tab?

I freeze Google Maps and all the DRM processes and have no issues. I wouldn't mess with the google services though.

Does that mean you dont use and are not able to use Google Maps? That I wouldnt be happy with coz i use Google Maps quite a bit.
yes, if you freeze it you would have to defrost it before you can use it. It only takes a moment to defrost and then you're good to go. I don't use maps on my tab (don't have 3g)
You will really read posts here in XDA which are completely opposites:
-here you have someone who freezes most of the apps while in another post there is somebody with over 300 apps on his/her gt.....
-another thread/posts comments about gt having very bad battery life and another one says gt has excellent battery life.....
That is exactly the point. Giving people the information so they can make a choice to have 300 apps or close to none. I am prety sure most would object to being forced to use their device in a specific mandatory way without ability to customize.

I use Titanium backup pro.....
Actually, I created a similar thread for the stock gingerbread like almost 6 months ago:
Apps safe to freeze on Galaxy Tab with Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084938
It also contains a list of the "Android system" type of apps that should be left alone, though some of them could be frozen as well. Look into it and see if it helps in any way.
Peace,
C.
Thanks will do.

I would appreciate if anyone can advise any experience in freezing any of the below system apps.

If you look carefully the frozen list in my first post includes some apps that are not to be touched as per the thread link provided by cheatman. Freezing apps does doesn’t seem to be identical experience for all of us and each should validate the impact of their own freezing. Might be simply I didn’t notice the impact since I do not use some of the features. Or maybe I did notice it but didn’t attribute it to the freezing.
Also I am again asking for your experience if you froze some of the apps that are on the don’t touch list in the thread provided by cheatman. I would like to know what issues if any you noticed. I may be willing to accept them or may not even notice them due to not using the functionality. All this is for the purpose of gaining battery life.
Besides freezing apps in order to gain battery life I also UV and UC. As a result of any of these measures my SGT reboots 1-2 per week. Don’t ask me to pinpoint the reason for the reboot. I would not be able to say but find it acceptable as a trade off to a significant battery life gain.

=== From OP:

AllShare - uninstall it, but I have a backup in case I get the chance of using it.
Android Live Wallpapers - uninstall - battery hog
BluetoothTest
ChocoEUKor - font
com.sec.android.app.lcdtest
Daily Briefing - uninstall
Date time and weather - uninstall only works good in the US
Date time or weather - uninstall
Digital Frame - I keep it to use sometimes.. not intrusive
eBook - uninstall, shame you - always in memory and doing stuff even if you don't have any books... terrible.

Gallery - uninstall, I use QuickPic which does NOT requier Media Scanner.

Social Hub - wannabe great ALL in ALL social app... UNINSTALL
Software update
Sound Player

Voice Search - freeze, dont use it.
WlanTest
Yoube - Youtube I use.
I use another handy App: Autostarts, and disable the autostartup of most apps, except the ones that I want like emails, google+, etc.
If you use the default Video player, you need DRM and Media Storage working.. but you can disable the auto-startup of DRM, cause it wants to always be in memory.
Since I dont use DRM, and hate the Media Storage scanner.... I simply uninstall all that and use MX or Moboplayer - they can scan the files themselves, and dont depend on any DRM.
Just music I dont have a solution for right now.. cause most players depend on the Media Storage scanner. But WinAmp promissed a scan by folder in the next version.
Cheers!
Original post updated 29.10.2011
The lists now hopefully combine all the reported experiences with freezing apps. Please advise if any mistakes or missing.
Congrats on the list MutantWizard! My list was intended to be "n00b friendly" and although you can freeze many system apps indeed, they were reported by Android System as depending on them. I also tried to make a point in explaining what the apps do because sometimes not all of them make sense :-D
Anyway, I run a completely custom variant of freeze/uninstall that also includes systems apps as well, so great job on this thread as it brings everything up to date!
If you keep it updated with all Android versions that can be run on the Tab, that'll also be extremely nice!
Cheers and congrats!
C.
Thanks will try to include in the list system apps from all contributing users regardless of the ROM version. From my side I am a dedicated Overcome user and will contribute further findings on system apps found in this ROM.
Original post updated 30.10.2011
Please advise if you notice any mistakes or missing apps.
BetterBatteryStats reports the following as the biggest power consumers from system side. Please advise if any idea which apps are they so I can try to freeze or uninstall them and see what happens.

Original post list updated 04.11.2011, Added 3-4 to the can freeze and 1 to can't freeze.
Also added a couple items to the previous post, They appear to be relatively large battery users from the system side. If any of you have any idea what they are please help me identify them.
If you are a normal conservative user, who uses his I9300 for daily use, emails, webbrowsing, games, calling, etc ... then you already noticed that all those buggy 'custom' 'leet' ROMs are not a choise for you .
Therefore I created this thread for you - for normal conservative users who cannot afford bug and freezes which are introduced by those '3l337' custom roms and kernels, but still want to get the most performance and responsiveness out of their GS3 i9300 .
So after experimenting with various possibilities, ROMs, kernels, debloating, my choise is as follow :
- staying on the latest STOCK ROM
- rooted
- heavy debloat samsung stuff with NOBLOAT app (later in this post is the list of apps that can be debloated)
- use DISABLE SERVICE app to disable specific services which consume battery/memory
Here is my list of apps that can be debloated without breaking anything crucial, and there is good chance you dont need any of those apps (if yes, you can enable them again later) :
Adapt Sound
AllShare ControlShare Service
AllShare FileShare Service

Please read before posting in this thread : this is thread for conservative users who already decided they dont want custom ROMS, this is no a discussion about custom roms, only about stock rom debloating . We are not interested here about your opinion how "cool that or this custom rom is" and advices about "try this leet kernel i have no freezes". You should post that usefull information in the custom rom respective thread .
Not a single reply or a thank you? Looks like nobody shares your thoughts or opinions about this....Or they're too afraid to give one lol

Asus Launcher
Asus Demo
No issues so far...if they come i'll post it here...
everything works well instead of asus launcher i use go launcher.
as i read the asus demo app installs the flashplayer and removes itself after entering the password no need to do that for me couse i use mxplayer and codecs.
Don't delete Asus launcher If you don't have any launcher installed and currently in use, it'll throw your device in to boot loop.
But Asus Demo is safe to delete.
I have the Lollipop .33 version as far as I tried if any app associated with quick settings is deleted, you can't go to Asus Customize settings and change the apps order anymore.
When you press Quick settings options it'll throw you an "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." error. But apart from that it doesn't effect the system stability.
The .24 doesn't have this problem.
My suggestion is when you have a freshly and fully installed Lollipop .33 and want to delete some apps like Splendid, go to Asus cuatomize settings and change them to your liking first. Then you can safely delete system apps.

(I don't know if this thread is still aktualized and confirmed by the OP.
But i will post every deletion i make in the future here and report if there
are any issues.Just to be safe:If you decide to remove/freeze System
App's make a Nandroid Backup of your System or at least a backup of the
removed system app's.I use the titanium backup app to make backup's of
system files,so if something went's wrong you can restore your system.)

HOW I DISABLED Google Playservices for INSTANT Apps
DISCLAIMER: Tweaking these apps and services can leave you with a broken, non-functional, steaming, smoking, screaming device; proceed at your own
risk. Just because I got it to work, doesn't mean it will work for you. I am not responsible for your PEBKAC errors. All Google stuff on my devices is extensively neutered, if it's not on your this may not work. I prevent updates to Play Store and Play services and the brunt of services run by those apps are disabled there's too much there to be covered in a simple guide but this instruction is what FINALLY clipped INSTANT APP'S wings.
I thought I'd found a way to prevent it from re-installing itself, but after two days it did, but at least this turns it off and keeps it from hogging battery and as much memory. As many have pointed out, freezing doesn't, but but turning off the SERVICES as outlined here, it slows it down a lot.
ROOT IS REQUIRED, the only way to block it without root I know of is disable the Play Store, go someplace else for that and don't hijack this information, it's not about using 3C, facebook, Play store, relationship problems or political unrest, it's about STOPPING Google's Apps: Play Store & Play Services from installing "Playservices for INSTANT Apps"
I think the PLAY STORE downloads and installs “Playservices for INSTANT Apps” under control of services run by PLAY Services
RECOMMENDATION: Every release of Play Store and Play services potentinally includes NEW services that might affect this solution. I recommend each time they are updated you check for NEW items that might trigger installation of Instant apps.
THE SOLUTION:
=============================================================
Using 3C All-in-One Toolbox" from 3c71 dot com

============================================================
This is working for me on Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900V Lollipop), Core Prime (G360T), Core Prime G360V, J1 (J100M), LG VS810P and MemuPlay Emulator.
Call it what you want, Malware, Spyware, Shovelware, Vaporware, Bloatware to me Google Playservices for INSTANT Apps is all those things. I saw Google Playservices for INSTANT Apps on my phone December 2018 and cringed. It's taken me almost 4 months to come up with this working solution. When I say WORKING, I mean it prevents Google Playservices for INSTANT Apps from reinstalling and still leaves Google Play Store functional.
THANK YOU! to the dev of 3C All-in-One Toolbox for providing their awesome tools.
