[Q] Safe to freeze apps?

Anyone have a detailed list of apps that are safe to freeze on the i337? I keep finding myself questioning whether an app is safe to freeze and then ultimately do not freeze it because I don't want to brick my phone without recovery options. TIA

It depends what you freeze. but i think the OTA updates and ect should be fine.

Here is what I have deleted (deleted not frozen) with no issues whatsoever.

^ thanks for the list.

Awesome! Thank you! Can't wait till we have this BL unlocked and get some great ROMs. Haven't used a stockish phone in years

Thanks for the list...very helpful.
Maybe this is obvious to others, but I'd like to point out that Bluetooth share is needed for Bluetooth to work, at least it is for me. I recently upgraded to 4.3 MK2 and rooted using saferoot. I froze most of these apps using Titanium Backup, but noticed my Bluetooth wouldn't turn on. I un-froze Bluetooth share, now it works fine.

Freezing/removing bloat with Titanium.

I've had a quick scan through the S4 forums but was too impatient (if I'm honest) to look too thoroughly.
Does anyone know of a list of apps that can be removed/frozen safely with Titanium on the i9505 please?
There are some items I want to keep but most of the gimmicks I can get rid of.
cheers.

i can give you a list of what is left after deleting everything I don't need.
i'm not responsible if something doesn't work after this.
be sure u install a new launcher and keyboard before deleting the stock ones.

Hi,
Look HERE
It will remove most of what you do not need.

[Q] Which apps to disable?

So far, I've frozen all verizon apps, useless google apps and services (they know who they are...) and several other useless apps and services.
This is my list of disabled Samsung apps & services:

Samsung Cloud Quota
Security Policy Updates (probably Verizon...)
What other Samsung apps/svc can be disabled or uninstalled?
Here is the list (for copy/paste convenience):
Samsung contents agent
Samsung Hub
Samsung Link
Samsung Print Services
Samsung Push Service
Samsung SBrowser Sync Adapter
Samsung SNote3 Sync Adapter
Samsung Sync Adapters
Samsung Text to Speech Engine
Samsung Updates
Samsung Hub Updater
Samsung Sans
Any other recommended disables/uninstalls?
Thanks!

Here is a link to my post with a list showing all of the stock apps that I removed. You can delete the rest of the Samsung apps but sans is a font I believe.

Thanks for the link and info. I've disabled several that you listed. Now to watch for any issues.

I never had any issues with all of them deleted but it depends on your setup also.

For reference, I haven't experienced any issues. I think I'll just leave them Disabled for the moment, though, as one day I may want to try one of the Samsung protocols to link to one of our other phones for file or media transfer and find that I need one or the other.

I Also have disable all this app but I am facing a issue and that is my signal strength is low now after the disabling the apps. And I am facing the issues in call connectivity.
How can I enhance my signal strength ?

I haven't had any low strength issues. It may be coincidental. Does your signal strength get better in other locations?
You could review the uninstalled apps/services to determine if any of them pertain to signal and re-enable. You could also just re-enable all of the apps/services you disabled before your signal strength issues occurred to see if they go away.
It's also recommended that you nandroid (SS backup) your device before making these kind of changes. Having a nandroid, if I were to have issues, I would make another nandroid of my current (changed) setup, then restore my previous setup to see if the issue exists there.

Safe to freeze/uninstall apps

I have searched for a list of apps that are safe to freeze or uninstall. I would hate to uninstall the AT&T bloatware and it have some crazy dependency attached to it.

Of course, if you remove all of this you will lose some of the built-in functionality, but it will not hurt anything in place. If you notice after doing this that a certain setting no longer works, I think it's pretty self-explanatory which ones correlate with which settings (e.g. if you turn off QuickMemo+, QuickMemo won't work anymore). This is why I recommend freezing them with TiBU instead of fully removing them. Also, if you fully remove them you can't get an official OTA Update.

Hello, I found another great use for my S-pen, copying the list of apps I have frozen with Titanium Backup. I'm sure the are others that are safe to freeze and I will update this list if others post additional apps, but these are the ones I have safely frozen.
