Freezing Apps on Pro / Running Rooted GB

I love Gingerbread on the Pro, and love having it rooted (kudos to P3), but have noticed that its a little trickier to freeze unwanted apps (via Titanium Backup) without stumbling upon system conflicts.
Note - I use Launcher Pro Plus for my launcher app. I also use Handcent for SMS and K9 for all my email (4 gmail/google apps accounts); no MS Exchange
Thus far, the things I have successfully frozen:
Bookmarks Widget
CityID
Email
Email Authenticator
Files
Flickr
Help Center
Home screen tips
LastFM
Messaging
My Verizon Mobile
Myspace
New & Weather
News
NFS Shift
Orkut
Photobucket
Quickoffice
Rich Location
Skype mobile
Skyrock Authenticator
Social Messaging
Social Messaging Services
Social Networking
Social Sharing
Social Status
Task Manager
Toggle Widgets
V Cast Apps
Voice Commands
VZ Navigator
Weather
Yahoo Contacts

Thanks for the list. You've rooted GB on the Pro?

Yes - rooted GB via Team Black Hat

in my experience, freezing the authenticators seems to cause my motorola contacts to force close; e.g. I can't open any contacts. Not sure if skyrock messes anything up but probably check just in case

Agree. I have gone through several iterations arriving at the list that results with no force closes. So far, so good.

I've frozen DLNA as well, but it still seems to show up on my watchdog so I had to rename the apk to get rid of it.

As far as I know, there are 2 apps for DLNA. The first has the obvious name of DLNA but there is a second one where it has a different name but has "dlna" in the service name. Found using SystemApkManager

great list!

I followed this list and everything went great (but I did not freeze anything, I just cut & paste all apps on my SD card), except I lost my Messaging application (duh!) So I put the messaging APK back in the system/app folder and restarted, but the Messaging app still doesn't show in the app drawer. Any ideas? Am I supposed to "ADB Push" it?

Help Anyone?
Update: So I was trying to flash the TBH Gingerbread files via recovery & the flashing was aborted! But when I rebooted I found that my Messaging app has been restored Talk about lucky.

Help！How to ROOT the droid pro

Kudos for the list, and GB on Pro
I too am an avid Gingerbread Boy on Droid Pro. I had a Pro for almost 3 years, running v 2.3.4 (OTA updates from Froyo to GB 2.3.3, then OTW to 2.3.4), but never realized I couldn't root on 2.3.4 so I found a blog by Sarat Marudhuri, "Rooting For Dummies," and was all set to begin following his steps, including flashing back to 2.3.3.
This past Saturday, after a week of thinking my battery was becoming toasted as I couldn't maintain a good 3G signal and the battery kept wearing out in no time because when 3G returned and the Bloatwares all got happy and started up again, I was still avidly pursuing root. Sunday Page Plus had a major server shutdown, both web and phones, and my broker, Prepaid Online, told me all about it, and asked that I keep trying. At 20 minutes before 9 (central), I managed to score on the call in, and hit the "hold circle" with muzak for about 39 minutes, then got a recording stating the office hours, and the office was closed, so try tomorrow. A buddy of mine is manager of a corporate store, and had a Pro that someone had traded in, so he gave it to me. To my surprise, it was pristine in condition, and was still on 2.3.3! Now this evening, I've spent the past 5 hours working through Sarat's blog and yes, I am now officially "ROOTED" although I'm going to stick with the current version and avoid 2.3.4. I used his list to freeze at that Verizon Bloatware, and confirmed his list with your's!
Hats off to XDA-developers for giving us such a great resource to streamline our Android phones!

[Q] Ads in notification bar

So a few days ago I noticed ads popping up in my notification bar that lead me to various websites if clicked. I haven't installed any apps in awhile and I have no idea where they came from or how to get rid of them. They even survived the flash I did from Mik G 1.76 to 2.0. Does anyone else have this problem or has had this problem and gotten rid of it? They look like this ;

Sounds like one of your programs got linked somehow to ad spaming. Had this happen a long time ago. I also had access to the program site from my computer. There was a setting online that allowed me to recieve " mail " or offers " from there partners. Unchecked that and it all went away. But I would also suggest something like LOOKOUT. It's free on the Market.

Yikes!!.. Use Airpush detector from the Market it'll tell you which app is doing it. so you can remove that nasty stuff!

Going to have to check that out .

Thanks for the replies! Got both apps and easily fixed the problem, you each have my gratitude

I had this issue for a long time. It's a new feature that developers have a option of adding to their apps. For example if you update some new versions of apps those updates could have the new add-on in them. I thought I had fixed the issue at first also and then randomly they started appearing again. The only app so far I've found that can track down these new add-ons is addons detector from the market. Go ahead and install that just to make sure. After it searches through all of your apps filter it to "push notifications" and un-install any apps listed in there. I only found 3 apps out of almost 200 that I have installed that were causing the issue. But it is very annoying when you have things like, "you won a free ipad" ect poping up in your notification bar.

I second that. Nothing more annoying than freaking Pop ups, and unwanted adds.

[Q] How to fix Unfortunately, the process phone (or various other apps) has stopped

Guys, Ive seen the other posts, about this issue, and want to know a few things.
First off I am new here, and new to phone programming and general security issues on them as well. So if I jack this up, my bad.
I have a Galaxy Note 2 AT&T SGH-I317 stock (not rooted)
Its running
android 4.1.2 kernel vers 3.0.31
build JZO54K.I317UCAMC3
(before you start with check the other posts, I have tried the reset "power, home and volume button" and chose number 4 to clear all partition cache, also ran in safe mode to see if it was a downloaded app, still didn't work) I also want to know what is causing it, before I do the "applications manager reset all apps" Got a lot of custom settings and items blocked. Don't want to redo all of it.
So as of last night I was disabling some running process in the application manager. I did it by checking on them before. But, its not like I had the OFFICIAL Droid guide to disabling stuff on your Note2. That being said I take care to do it the best I can. Before I disabled each one, I cleared the cache of each one (if it was a option) and unchecked Show notifications. Force stopped them, and disabled each one.
Starting around 2pm CST the next day, my phone started to lock up, messenger will not work, phone app crashes after every call. But I was using it all morning on twitter, and instagram with no issues. And various other will not load etc. What could cause this? and is there a official list of applications for note2 with what they do and what they control.
Short list of disabled applications from last night are
Market Feedback Agent
LogsProvider
Google Play services, and Play store.
Google Partner Setup
DRM Protected Content Storage
DioDict3services (not sure about this one)
com.google.andriod.voicesearch
com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
Search Applications Provider, (found on android.forms to be ok to disabled)

Thank y'all in advanced.

Recommended apps popup?

Hey everyone.
This evening my girlfriend updated her apps on her S5 running 5.0 and she kept getting a little popup at the bottom of the screen every time an application finished downloading. This has never happened before, so we're trying to see if it's some sort of malware, or a setting that somehow turned itself on that can be disabled.
Attached is a screenshot of a popup.
Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks!

Did she updated via playstore? This "Installation Dialog" i've never seen before.

Yeah, everything was done with the play store.

After doing a little research, it seems to be linked to GO SMS PRO. I'll have her uninstall it and see if it still happens.

You should download malware detector, I've never seen that before either.

Does it still happen?

That's why I stopped using go sms a couple years ago. They added push notifications to the app.

Had her remove GO SMS and it's no longer happening. I'm glad I switched away from GO SMS a while ago. That's awful.

Trying to find a different Samsung Messaging APK, issues with stock version

Hiya. So I recently got a J3 Luna Pro on Straight Talk, and it's all been great except for a slight issue with two apps.
Those apps would be Email and Messaging, the navbar on the email has this weird spacing issue and the same issue persists on the text bar in the messages app.
asunaclient,com/i/20180307_163349.png
see the odd gap between the bottom of the screen and the text? yeah, that's what's screwing with my brain right now.
asunaclient,com/i/20180307_163706.png
This issue happened in the Samsung Browser too but I was able to fix it by updating it to the latest version.
I don't know what I need to fix this though. Anyone?

Try to update it by downloading this Marshmallow version.

Might be impossible without root though. If this does not work switch over to Asus Messaging. Can get it from play store. From their Zenui phone series. It's pretty good. If you can't find it on play store here's a link :
