Odd i cant get above 200Mbits.

As long as you have some your fine. I've not had a problem yet.

Directly after start-up I have 270 MB, probably 280 without some apps that start up automatically like whatsapp.
Edit: I did delete most widgets, just left the one for music.

well i dont have any of those ****ty widgets running and only really use one homescreen. dont have many apps running as services either apart from whatsapp. i do tend to kill stuff like EventManager and SetupWizard that like to pop back up in running services from time to time. saves about 15-25mb.

Has anyone found a way to just disable stuff like Setting Guide and Media Server? There must be a way to disable those program from starting up. Sorry if im being totally ignorant, but i just moved here from a WM6.5 device

I know titanium backup can freeze apps from starting up, but you have to be rooted. Hopefully the play gets root soon

[INFO] Rooted - what can we remove?

I am starting the list of what I am sure we can remove without messing up our phones - if you know more, feel free to pitch in!

Yes, using titanium backup also ensures removing the associated data of those system applications.
and FYI Cim_XII what he was discussing is completely in-topic.

and for the others posting - it's about WHAT can be removed, not HOW it can be removed...

please mention also which build are you using: country (UK, Global, HK, etc). Each build of different countries has different components bundled in the rom.

Well I don't know if it matters - as long as you've got any of the mentioned apps/widgets etc. installed you can remove them without turning your phone into a slimmed down brick
But my particular phone is an International/Global LT15i

Updating the first post wil be handy, so you don't have to search in this thread
also maybe handy to know what you can't remove.
You can also remove: HDMI
and don't remove "infinite view" this will break the contact view.

The topic says what's safe to remove withouth messing the rom. I think it will mess up the HDMI experience. Can't try it because I don't own HDMI cable

since I use widgets to Bt, wifi etc.etc. of Third Party
so I removed "WidgetOnOff"by default (550Kb)

Titanium backup - Freeze-able apps

Hello all.
I have just bought titanium backuo to be able to freeze the launcher that i do not use in the hopes of extending my battery life.
However furthur reading seems to tell me that many more things can be frozen. I dont know if there is an improvement, i dont even knoe if it actually is running.
But my point is i would like to create a list of apps that are freeze-able.
I have tw launcher frozen
Live wallpaper
Most of the bluetooth things
And my phone is still functioning well.
So please add on to my list of freeze-able apps.

I frozen the following.. I am monitoring any side effects
-Adservice
-AP Mobile
-Buddies Now
- Email (coz I don't use it and it is always running in the background)
- Gallery (I don't use it and it is always running in the background)
- Maps (I don't use it and it is always running in the background)
- Market Updater (i hate the new market)
- Readers hub
- Social hub
- Yahoo finance
- Zinio

Here is a list provided by pulser_g2 from the Samsung Galaxy S2 forum:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...SENVeXlqUm5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html
I think that the Note should be pretty similar, take care though and don't blame anyone else if anything goes wrong!!

Root App Remover. It will mark apps that can't be removed/freezed with red text, so you can't accidentaly remove important apps like phone.apk, settings.apk etc.

Supposing you rooted, just reflash the system partition. Your fone will look as bloated again as on the first day

If you freeze using Titanium Pro, then backup the "frozen" apps, you will have them available to "unfreeze" and restore. I suggest you freeze and then check all is OK before you uninstall them...

This. Your phone is not like your PC, so stop treating it like one. The way Android treats memory, having high RAM usage is actually a good thing. Not to mention that aside from being useless and counterproductive, task killers are a huge battery drain.

Okay okay!! Just chill. No need to get that aggressive on this topic. On my phone apps like facebook, friendcaster
etc keep draining battery.Now don't say these r useless too and I should stop using them. I know how android works with Ram and all that. Have been using this fone for over 18 months. I just want to know about dat kind of taskiller
Hit thanks If my posts have helped u

Well, if battery drain is your problem, then don't use a task killer -- that'll just be compounding the issue. As for how to deal with your battery drain, I've heard some reports about how turning off Facebook sync worked for some people.
Another option would be getting Watchdog Task Manager by Zomut from the Play Store (I've used it myself). It's not the typical task killer since rather than monitoring RAM, it instead keeps an eye on CPU usage (which is what causes battery drain) and notifies you when an app consumes too many CPU cycles and let's you decide whether to kill that app. It should also allow you to set a CPU threshold for certain apps, and autokill when the app exceeds that threshold.

Use autostart to stop aap to run automatically in different situation.

Task Killer
Use Automatic Task Killer.free on gapps. U just have to select the apps u want to be killed and it kills them when ur screen is off.
Plz press the thanks button if u found my post useful to you in any way.Thanks

Autorun Manager is a bit difficult to use for new users. u ll have to search for boot receivers and network change receivers among the receiver list for a particular app. if u disable an imp receiver then it ll forbid the app from running. so be careful. or else u can use other managers like Lidroid toolbox or Rom toolbox which are easy to use. Cheers

The whole debate surrounding task killers are stupid. Our phones have low memory and we are running custom built roms on our devices which tend to require more from our hardware in the case of ICS.
I like the ES TaskManager/File Explorer combo, has a nice task manager, autostart feature and apk backups.

TitaniumBackup shuts the app down turning it off i don't know, let's see what some one says first before you do it. Me I turn it off, but what I really wanna do is disable them by permissions so when I want to jump I'll just restore them.
