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.

Thanks in advance

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...
Okay so whenever I'm done texting or have to close an app to go back to my home screen all of the apps and widgets don't show up and I have wait for them to reload again.. it gets annoying cause this happens about 90% of the time I close an app. Is there a way to fix this thing or preventing from happening? >.<
Which launcher are you using?

TwLauncher. The default one..

For some reason, you have an app that is running that is taking enough cache memory that it is causing TW to close, anytime you are leaving it, instead of staying in memory. This is causing a 'respawn' (everything has to reload.). You have 2 choices here.
1. Figure out what app, or apps are running that you don't need, and shut them down.
2. switch to a lighter launcher. On the surface, zeam and adw are two of the lightest out there, but I've had the best luck in low memory situations with go launcher, myself.
In order to find which apps are doing this, my recommendation is to get rom toolbox (free is fine), and look in the 'auto start manager'. I'm sure there are several apps that do the same thing, but RTb is my preference. Once you get into that section, look at the list of what is starting on boot, and disable the ones you don't need. This won't make the app useless, but it will keep it from running in the background until you open it yourself.

Well that worked. Thank you sir.
A little off the main topic but speaking of rom toolbox or Tibu for that matter, anytime I use them to either, say, freeze or uninstall anything , both apps just sit there with box showing me there uninstalling or freezing. Only way to stop is to go into manage apps and stop them but they end up doing what wanted to do. Anyone else have this happen, any fix,annoying if anything.

I recommend using Titanium backup.. it's easier to use and easy to understand. Won't have to deal with this whole freezing crap.

I know exactly what you mean. I've been occasionally having the same problem with Titanium Backup. It doesn't happen every time, but enough lately that I've noticed it. Not sure of any fix, but I'll post if I find one. I guess it's not that big of a problem considering it ultimately uninstalls/freezes whatever it's supposed to, but it sure is annoying.

I had successfully rooted my phone last night. I was using my titanium back up pro in freezing a lot of the AT&T bloatware. But I cannot seem to find where is the CIQ located. Do anyone knows the name, extension, or what exact field under that I will need to freeze?
I search numerous times on the forums and everywhere and I cannot locate that information of exact name. The CIQ will say something about com.ciq blah blah but on the list of titanium it is not there for me to freeze. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
I use system tuner free. Go into system details and uncheck the 7 carrier iq files.

Settings -> General tab -> Apps -> Running tab -> Android System, there is IQ Agent Service running
Thank you for the response.
Does system tuner permanently kill it like TiBackup? I want something I will permanently freeze it or uninstall it. When I went to google play, it stated that program is already outdated. I still try to download it. They have so many options. Can you walk me thru on which option I will pick under it and steps locating it?
As for others do you have any TiBackup instructions to share on where to locate and freeze? I have an older version TiBackup. Would that be the reason not seeing the CiQ? Any screenshots would be more than welcome.
Thanks!

For rooted users and non-rooted users, but rooted users have the advantage here as they can use 3rd party apps like bloat freezers and titanium backup.
I don't recommend deleting system apps permanently from the system due to the fact that if you accidentally uninstal an important system app it could create system force closes ect.. But if you freeze the apps you don't want then you can always de-freeze them whenever you want and it's very safe and could be handy at times.
For root users i recommend titanium backup to freeze and De-Freeze applications
For non-root users > Just go to settings>Application Manager>All ( select the app you want and Select "Disable") , this is also like freezing apps using titanium backup but the apps you can freeze are limited due to the fact that you don't have root permission but still you can freeze more than 70% of the apps to free some ram and save some battery

Now install Greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
and add all the applications you installed to the apps Greenifing(hibernating) list so they will only run when you actually won't them to run and after u turn off the screen they will automatically force close But remember not to put your widgets or apps you use very often to like whatsapp , viber ect... as they will not give you notifications or update as they will be forced close by greenify along with all the other apps.

If you want to do more to get the best performance from your device and if you're willing to take an extra step forward , try this app too "Fast Reboot" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot This wil not reboot your phone but will perform a quick system refresh like as in windows, Just try and see

If you want to go extra further saving battery and ram and using a rom with minimum bloat but with Spen features , Try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462614 .. about 95% of the bloat is removed but still very stable and smooth with root and everything (570MB rom). try that and install greenify. you should get around 18h phone usage under moderate use and if you're extra careful with the apps you use and know how to work em out you can get more than 1 day usage

Note-
>when you turn off sync it will not sync your contacts with google so i don't recommend it but if you want, you can do it and then do backups manually
More tips from Nitol
- turn motion off
- display brightness always auto
- use blackish/dark wallpaper
- sync always off, turn on when needed
- don't use vibration
- don't clear memory/ram from task manager
- do battery calibration in proper way after flashing a rom

A FULL LIST OF ALL THE APPS YOU CAN FREEZE ON STOCK 4.3 IS NOW ADDED IN THE ATTACHMENTS (BELOW THIS POST)
Real screenshots from my phone. The last picture is the ram usage after the freezing. (this was right after i flashed the stock rom and frozen the apps. so this could change depending on your rom setup
Thanks for a detail thread, but why are you saying the music.apk(music player) is a bloatware? Rest all at the list are fine. But if all the 'allshare' files are removed, then 'screen mirroring' (on n3 moded rom) will not work. Could you please add some more explanation about removing which file may stop other things to work?
Thank you so much again for the effort.

music.apk/music2.apk is for google play music. you can remove it or move (install) to data/app, or install form play store to save more ram.

I wasn't talking about comparison. I meant by being "safer". There's gonna be many who would just freeze/disable all these and flood various threads that "this app/feature is not working" or "that stopped working" like WiFi Direct, DLNA, Email, Weather, etc. I meant by that.

ofc not, my point is, if your app is frozen, you can defrost if you need to use it, unlike removing your app, which is totally removed permanently. i think you can clearly understand now lol

Well for your 1st point
not everyone use the stock Music player on their devices right .. including me .. and that's the reason why i named music.apk as a bloat so u can keep it freezed where it won't run in background as it does
And the all share files and screen mirror, not everyone use those features also right? i mean it's not like we use those features daily. so why give ram to that when we can just keep it frozen and de-freeze it when we actually use it ?
Same goes with wifi direct if u ask me
just de-freeze it when you wnna use it so that way we have more ram and can get a good battery life ultimately
it doesn't take much time to defreeze few apps right so it's a small price to pay in order to get a good battery life with more free ram.
well it might be just the way i see it. but it's working pretty good for me.. hope it does for you all .. that's why i shared this

As i replied to nitrol, we don't use wifi direct like every day and that's why i said it's ok to freeze it to get some more Juice
just de-freeze it when u wanna wifi direct and that's it .. it costs some time but that's worth it i guess when compared with the battery an ram u save . that's just the way i see i guess

don't freeze everything i've mentioned here, just freeze what you don't use. You can guess what app you're freezing when you read the name , if you don't know what the app is when you read the name it's just a system fine that we don't use or don't need so just freeze and see what happens but i assure no force closes or any other errors will come, but if any errors pop .. just de-freeze the frozen apps and see. You will get a good battery life and more free ram after freezing these apps.
