Is it safe to freeze AppManager on stock 6.1?
I don't have TWRP and have already frozen most of stock Amazon apps, however, wondering if AppManager can be frozen without bricking the tablet.
Do we have a list of systems apps that are safe to freeze in tibu. I am mainly looking to freeze bloat and prevent unwanted ota updates without softbricking. once we get the bootloader and custom recovery it wont matter. But untill then i would just like to be on the safe side and not delete anything. Any help would be appreciated.
I just rooted my VZW Galaxy Note 3, and wanted to see if anyone had a list of the bloatware you can safely freeze with Titanium Backup. I did this myself and ended up wiping to start over because I was getting force closes, probably meaning I froze something that broke functionality.
This is my first Android device and I'm coming from an iPhone 5. I, too, would like a list or guide to removing bloat ware. What did you guys uninstall?
I saw a couple of lists yesterday. Now I can't find them

Hi, first of all: i'm kind of a flashaholic.
Depending on certain ROMs, custom, on first boot, google is proposing me to restore my apps from my previous devices. But NOT for all custom ROMs.
Does anyone know what it depends off? Is it related to the ROM? To the gapps? To the the device ID? To first time init? to the Backup transport?
Restoring apps is very important to my coz I bought many apps and I can't re-install them one by one.
I've searched in the treads about restoring/backing-up, I google it, but didn't find anything.
The backing-up is active in the Settings menu. I'm not interested in using TiBck, since I'm using it ONLY for restoring data (migrating apps from ROM to ROM, with TiBckup is dangerous/buggy).
Do you have some information about that? what are the solutions? Can I force, on the first boot, or even after, the ROM to reinstall/restore apps previously installed?
Hope I was clear enough.
Thanks and
Best regards.
Hi,
1. It depends on what firmware and device model you have. Apps that designed for TW won't be listed on list of apps to be imported/restored if you installed CyanogenMod. Same thing will happen on apps that designed for CyanogenMod if you installed TW.
2. Unfortunately, AFAIK, you can't. You need some third party apps like Titanium Backup (are you mention it as TiBckup?), or backup feature of Clean Master and ES File Explorer (requires root and only main apk will be copied). If you want to restore apps will all data from previous ROM, the only way is to use Titanium Backup. You can also just format /system, but it's far way not recommended as it would cause more problems.
PS Edit: If you've installed some paid apps, the best way is to re-download them as they will detect your device ID and found it was mismatch, then will immediately block access unless the apps are reinstalled with the same Google Account as you bought these apps.

I was not talking about third part apps (yes TiBckup stands for Titanium Backup), but of Google's function when you first boot after a flash or after a factory reset.
Well, it depends on the android version only, the model does not matter (it is not HW related). It already happened to my to have the option reinstall apps from AOSP (Resurrection ROM) on a new, fresh and clean TW FW (Imperium); and vice versa.
I know there is always the option to manually install apps from Gplay, but it is not what I want, neither the option I'm looking for.
If I flash Resurrection ROM v5.6.2, on Lollipop 5.1.1, then there is the option to restore the apps from previous phones
If I flash Resurrection ROM v6.0.1, on MM, there is not such option/pop-up/choice...
Still thanks for your replay.
Hello
(device Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016)
Today i have downloaded Titanium Backup Pro and wanted to freeze knox to get rid of the annoying security notification. I had freeze some associated apps which contained "knox" in the name but did not help.
After then i uninstalled a few apps even system apps which i was sure i dont need (there was not many i have uninstalled, really i was sure i can without problem. one of them was youtube). after filtering out frozen apps i noticed that there is also system webview frozen and smart things which i am sure i did not freeze. i believe that titanium backup was bugged. I tried to defrost but it kept remaining frozen. so unfreeze does not work
I dont know if this caused issues with youtube vanced but before i could watch youtube vanced but now it was loading forever right after opening.
I decided to perform factory reset but not through system settings but booting into twrp recovery and ticking dalvik, data, cache and internal storage. After factory reset i realized that the previously uninstalled (debloated) apps through titanium backup arent restored back. I have read on the forum that by performing factory reset the uninstaled aps should be back. but they are not. why? even installing through adb back it gives "package installed" in the adb terminal but the app is nowhere.
And after clean reset and installing youtube from google play it keeps loading. I see only the bottom menu (Home, exlore, subscriptions,library), at upper part search bar and i can enter settings but the screen is white and is circling/loading forever.
I am afraid that i had accidentally uninstalled some important app through the bugged titanium backup and after factory reset i did not get it back so i cannot browse youtube and even youtube vanced (any of them)
What do they have in common?
(i have tried to reinstall back google packages all at once through newest adb and fastboot toolkit, it gave message "package installed to user 0" but nothing seems to happen on my tablet)
Please recommend me some solutions to solve my issue.
Thank you
