So I would like to get rid of all the Samsung apps from the phone and stop the background services that aren't needed through titanium backup.
Is it possible to make a list? I removed the ones I recongnise, but I'm sure there are others as android system is consistently on top of my battery usage.

is there an app list for the xperia. I have stopped all the apps I dare without knowing what they do.

you can pretty much safely kill all apps that are listed in the app killer, if your disabling startup apps then thats a bit of a different story. My personal advice is to forget app killers all together. They slow down the performance of your android device and android already manages your memory and apps for you. Just let it be.
Just looking for anything I might be able to do to squeeze a but more juice out of my new toy.

Started a thread on Apps safe to freeze/remove for Verizon, hope someone make a list soon. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444882
Yeah that would be nice. Would they be the same for att and Verizon?
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
Pretty much anything that says Verizon or AT&T on it can be frozen. NFC if you dont use it, blue tooth if you don't use it, as long as its not system related you should be good to go. Remember back up first what you freeze
After rooting your device, what steps did u take to make the phone faster?
I removed some bloatware of course, just the usual ones like TripAdvisor, Gmail and so on...
I was wondering what other apps I can do without on the phone?
And not just removing apps, is there any other way to de-clutter my phone and make using it a faster experience...?

I was wondering if there is a way other than either disabling or freezing system apps. If I remove them, it causes settings to fc. This has held true since the 4.4 update. I usually always get ride of apps to free up more space, RAM, ect...

As I know you can only disable system apps(as I do) but they are still there and without root you can not completely delete or modify system apps, which is basicly leaves you with a custom rom.
If it's force closing when you disable them then the best thing you can do is just install a custom Rom and kernel. If you like stock then I suggest Nexus 5 Experience with Franco kernel.
I use an app called systemapp remover. In 4.3, maybe theres an update.

You can use any file explorer(Solid File Explorer) to uninstall system apps. Titanium Backup to freeze them.
Hey guys sorry for not responding sooner. The problem is that I am rooted and running a custom ROM. There are still certain thing I get ride of (NFC, or calendar storage for example) that I just never use. I've tried on stock, PSX, and Purity with the same results. Remember I'm uninstalling them not freezing or disabling.

Try uninstaling foreign keyboards , wallpapers e.t.c. Also I have 100mb+ of system space free so I guess your phone is similar so why do you need more. I can understand deleting system apps to get more free ram and space on cheap budget phone's with little of both. The likelihood of you needing to free up either on this phone is slim at best my guess never. Just my thoughts as I am interested in why your doing this.

Honestly, I just always have. I have about the same free space as you. I just like having the option of taking the things off of my phone that I don't want on there. What if I did want bone stock, I would be stuck with all that bloat wear. I just always considered it as one of the reasons for rooting your phone.

I know where you're coming from as its something I have always done until getting this phone. Don't no what the problem is as all apps I uninstall have been o.k. I always freeze first to make sure there's no surprises then uninstall. You could try greenify from play and put them to sleep if having problems. That said I have no answer to you're specific problem.
Just keep them if its causing problems and enjoy you're phone knowing it can handle the extra unwanted apps.
You could always flash a vanilla android rom ( there's a few about ) with banks minimum gapps and that should do the trick. Just install the apps you need
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, I'm running Purity with the very minimal banks gapps and the system apps I don't use disabled. It doesn't really bother me. I had asked the same question when 4.4 was first released and I guess figured there was a work around by now. No biggy. Thanks for your incite:thumbup:

Hey guys. Is this normal for me to have multiple apps?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I haven't seen that before. But they are different versions so it's possible. I'd freeze the older version and see if you run into problems
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
that is *kind-of* normal.
All pre-installed apps are installed in "system/apps" folder and cannot be removed unless rooted. Then all updates are stored in the "data/apps" folder along with all user installed apps. This is done so normal users "not-rooted" can delete all their installed apps and updates to get back "stock".
Most apps that list your installed apps, like titanium backup, or the "system settings > applications" normally take this into account and only show you one version. What-ever crap program you took a screenshot of, obviously does not take that into account and is confusing you. I see "safe2remove" beside many of the items in that screenshot, I do not recogize that application you are using. Just some garbage app as far as I am concerned now.
do not freeze either version
I'm looking at system cleanup
Sent from my SGH-I337M using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can delete the older version, but you have to remove the app manually or you'll need to reinstall. Look at the YouTube app in the attached pics. Also, system cleanup is a great app.
I have two play stores, also two Google play services

Remember to backup before you do any modding
