Hi guys,
I flashed the Gingerbread stock ROM, courtesy of Chainfire (see thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854) and noticed there are no threads about apps that are safe to freeze/remove from the system to improve performance and (maybe) battery life as well.
Therefore, here is my compiled list, along with some info on what the apps do. Please note that this list of safe to freeze apps apply to the Galaxy Tab running the stock 2.3.3 ROM only. The list of apps is different than the one on the 2.2 ROM, although some are the same.
Note: I use TitaniumBackup to freeze apps. These apps are safe to freeze no matter what app you use to freeze them.
Note2: Safe to freeze (in the following list) means your Galaxy Tab will work fine without it and other apps won't crash / not work if you freeze something. The apps you freeze will no longer work until you defrost them, though. Where dependencies exit, I will note them.
So, here goes the list (alphabetical). First, the "no dependency apps":
AccuWeather Clock => widget
AllShare => DNLA client/server
[BOOKMARKS] Browser 2.3.3 => Chrome Browser. Freeze if you use another
Calculator => simple calculator
Calendar Clock => widget
Daily Briefing => widget
Date, time and weather => widget
Date time or weather => widget
Digital Frame => nightstand app. Freeze dependencies as well if you don't use it
Dual Clock => widget
Google search => widget,app. Freeze of not used
Home screen tips => widget
Live Wallpaper Picker => Freeze if you don't use live wallpapers
Magic Smoke Wallpapers => live wallpaper
Music Hub => Samsung app
Music Visualization Wallpapers => live wallpaper
News & Weather => widget
Pico TTS => Text to Speech (reads text for you). Freeze if not used
Pulse => news reader. Freeze if you use another
Readers Hub => paper, magazine and book reading app. Freeze dependencies as well if not used.
Samsung keypad => Freeze if you use only Swype
Sketch Memo => simple drawing app
Social Hub => Samsung app (frontend for email accounts). Accounts work normally without it.
Talk => Google talk application
ThinkFree Office => office suite. Freeze if you use another or don't use it.
Voice Search => Google voice search
World clock => simple world clock management app
Y! Finance Clock => widget
Youtube => youtube app
Now the list of apps that others depend on. Only freeze these apps if you plan on freezing the parent app as well or don't use it:
eBook => ebook reading app. Readers Hub depends on it.
Kobo => ebook reading app. Readers Hub depends on it.
Music => standard music player. Digital Frame depends on it. Freeze if you use another music player.
My Files => email app depends on it. You can't attach files without it.
PressReader => newspaper reading app. Readers Hub depends on it.
Program Monitor => widget. Samsung Home depends on it
Samsung Apps => samsung market. Supposedly updates samsung apps. Freeze if you don't use samsung home or apps installed via Samsung Apps.
Samsung Home => Freeze ONLY if you have another home replacement app (another launcher / home).
TTS Service => Pico TTS depends on it
TwWallpaperChooser => samsung wallpapers
Video => Video player. Freeze if you use another video player
Zino Reader => magazine reader. Readers Hub depends on it
Blocking all of these WILL NOT give you more space on your device drives. It will, in some cases increase the amount of RAM available. Currently, I have not blocked all of the above as some of them I actually use (like youtube, lol).
I have 242 MB free RAM after a clean boot-up. Also note that a clean boot for me includes ADW, Pure Messaging scroll widget, Beautiful Widgets, 3G Watchdog, SwypePad, WidgetLocker and Multitasking Pro all started at the same time. All of them are memory hogs, so your restuls may be better than mine after you freeze all unneeded apps.
Only a couple of the apps in the lists above actually use up RAM. Best things to freeze (if not used), should be:
Pico TTS & TTS Service
Everything related to Samsung Home (wallpapers, widgets etc.)
Y! Finance Clock (for some reason it runs in the background even if not used)
Readers Hub (for some reason it runs in the background even if not used)
Music Hub (for some reason it runs in the background even if not used)
Pulse (updates news in background as service)
News&Weather (runs a service in background)
AllShare (runs a service in background)
User reported successful freezes without noticeable impact:
[SMS/MMS PREFS]Messaging 2.2 => messaging app. Thanks to Sef_P1000 for reporting this.
Street View => google maps extension. Thanks to pendevous for reporting this.
Maps => maps application. Freeze if you don't use or have a different GPS app. Thanks to pendevous for reporting this.

You can set the Pulse to not run any updates in the background. I froze almost all. A reboot gives me 276 free ram with widgetsoid, player pro widget, twicca, adw launcher ex and thumb keyboards running.
Gmail can also be frozen if you use a different email app. Same goes for the default email app.

I use GOsms for messaging. is it safe to freeze the stock sms app?
- [SMS/MMS PREFS]Messaging 2.2
Thanks on the way!
My Pulse still runs some service in the background after disabling automatic news updates. I don't have a problem with data usage; RAM is golden for me on the other hand.
Regarding the messaging app "[SMS/MMS PREFS]Messaging 2.2", don't disable it!!!
On top of managing your messages and showing you a list of them, it also manages the SMS center information and distribution of messages. So, even if you don't need the front-end you will still need the back-end.
Hope this helps!

I just did. goSMS still works. It's so much better now. Before, when I receive an SMS, I get TWO notifications, one for each SMS app. Even if I open the msg from goSMS, the notification for stock SMS is still there. Now it's fixed.
I will do more observation, including MMS. Thanks anyway!
I have updated the first post to include your report. Thanks a bunch!
However, in theory you COULD still encounter issues at least when changing SMS/MMS setup such as message expiration time, sms center number etc. On the other hand, how often would you actually do that?
Probably never, but you should write an update in case you notice anything funny :-D

That's pretty weird. Have you updated to the latest version of pulse? I updated it at once. After closing it, it doesn't show in my "running" apps, nor can I force close it (since it has already been closed).
You can also freeze Maps and Street View, btw.
wow, ive been looking for something like this for ages! thanks!
@pendevous: after a reboot, the service was not started anymore (defrosted it, disabled updates). Guess something wasn't stopped correctly or got hung up.
PS: updated main post.
Thx for the tips.

Why install pulse and then freeze it? Why dont you just not install it in first place if you dont want to use it.
Am I missing something here?

Updating to gingerbread will you give you the old version of Pulse included. I think that the op thinks it's part of the system.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
Even if it was you can use a program like SystemApp Remover to uninstall it. Much better then freezing.
Kinda... The 2.3.3 ROM comes with Pulse by default. Although I kinda like Pulse, I've moved to Taptu for the time being. Similar interface, but smaller footprint.
Update: I know it's not system app, lolz. Point is, if you remove it outright, will you be able to update later? It is part of the ROM and by all standards considered bloatware. Should be frozen unless used. I highly NOT recommend removal.
PS: why not remove Samsung Home as well if not used?
Anyway, there you have it )

Titanium can also uninstall system apps . Freezing is a way to "hide" an app and reduce mem usage without really uninstalling it. It's like putting the app in cold storage!
Yes Titanium can also unfreeze just in case an issue comes up that you will need the freezed app....
Good to know thx for this thread
I removed all the bloatwear from system/apps using root explorer all working great no force closes now i have it the way it should be.
Hi folks. I'm sorry to trouble everyone again.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEV and I AM NOT A COOK.
I want to know, is there a way, where I can say take a custom ROM, and then modify the existing parts so that i can reduce the RAM footprint.
I have no experience using any ROMS except Ilyaa's CM10.1 custom ROM which he cooked up. Even on stock gingerbread i only toyed for it for a day after i bought it and immediately followed the instructions and did a custom firmware (I even had a thread about it because the first time i did it i accidently deleted /boot)
What I had in mind is to somehow replace bloated apps with apps that uses FAR lesser RAM footprint.
For example, the Trebuchet launcher is fine, but I wanted something more minimalistic so i went for Lightning Launcher and also Zeam Launcher (TagHome launcher is not available for 4.2, sadly)
What i discovered was Smart Launcher uses about 16MB of RAM. Lightning initially only used 3.1MB, (then somehow bloated up to 20MB even when i did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING) and ZEAM launcher is hovering around 15MB.
I am not sure if this is ROM related issue, but I want to ask users of other ROMS (especially the custom ICS ROMs like MIUI and DZO AURORA since its considered the best of all U8800 custom ROMs) if you can reduce the footprint?
Truthfully, I have tried GREENIFY and also another memory app that another forumer has recommnded for setting minimum values, but i still keep getting ONLY 20-40MB free RAM. I have replaced the super bloatware Facebook for Android by Facebook and Twitter and replaced them with SCOPE (far lesser RAM used than both app combined)
Does anybody have any idea of what we can do?
As far as i know when u are connected to the internet most of the apps run in the background and thus u have less available ram. Widgets also drain a lot, try to avoid them. U can tweak some kernel values so that the system will make more available free ram , like minfree values.

THis is what i did. However the it does not affect my memory, and i suspect it was the ROM because of the previous versions was better. I have not tried ICS though.

Well, that did not helped much, actually. I'm not sure what is the real issue behind it, but I'm still tinkering with some of the ROMs and installing what I perceive as low-RAM-usage apps.
Currently i'm running GREENIFY and MEMORY MANAGER (that sets the minfree values) and hopefully by later i'll come out with something useful.
I'm not that of a poweruser, so using another custom kernel then doing some adjustments not specified by the dev is a little too much to me, unless I know i can follow through with the steps.
update:
Some of the apps that I have perceived as low RAM usage and downright functional (not beautiful, but gets things done)
Launcher:
- Smart Launcher
- Zeam Launcher
- Lightning Launcher
Facebook:
- Atrium
- Scope (Twitter and Facebook)
Twitter:
- Twicca
- Scope
- Echofon
Google +
(no alternative)
Media:
- Quickpix (gallery alternative)
- Hiki Player (music player alternative)
- Nano player (music player alternative, bare bones)
- MX Player (video player)
- Tubemate (at least you can greenify this over the stupid Youtube App)
E-Mail:
- default email client
- K9 email client
Contacts and messaging:
- Contacts + (this one does a lot)
- pansi sms (sms alternative)
File Managers:
- Root Browser Lite
- ES File Explorer.
That's about it for the time being.
At this time 3rd June 2013, Google is updating the core apps. I am unable to uninstall the email apk and gmail apk.
What I did to get rid of the random jitters that is sadly on the Note 4. For those of us who hate three second lags
Caution: Not responsible for ANYTHING that happens to your phone
Root Requirements:
Tip One: Freeze / completely remove any unwanted bloats you have no use for. I prefer to freeze, never know what the future holds
Tip Two: I disabled both eMMC Entropy contribution as well as SDCard entropy contribution. Using any kernel modifier app (I'm a fauxclock kind of a girl)
Next Two is Thanks to @megalomanic14 Per @eduardmc recommendationTip Three: Uncheck Force Gpu Rendering in developer options
Tip Four: Use Wanam xpose to deactivate Dvsf under Advanced
It did not do any major hit on my battery, Been running average 6 hour battery since receiving my note, and I have done the same screen time Yesterday and by the way things are going today, Will be achieving the same.

Thanks for the tips! We should start a thread (or I can hijack this one) where we talk about the stuff that we are able to freeze without any side effects. Would you mind going through some of the stuff you froze?

However some folks may need email and Lookout. I prefer Cerberus over lookout and only use GMAIL on my device.
as far as the google apps and greenify, if you use Xposed and use the Greenify module, no need to change to user.
Also if you use Xposed, and S-Health, make sure you make the changes from the other dozen threads or you'll self induce lots of lag.
I wonder if to add any battery tip lol

That's pretty high for stock. I'm at 1.5 stock rooted not debloated.. and with that list she has debloated, most definitely should lower ram usage.
Guys, I think this may be a big part of what you're describing...
http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/f...es-when-using-xposed-your-galaxy-s5-0157344/#
I just followed the steps listed there, and all of my apps started responding like new, and the 2-3 second freezing I was experiencing is gone as well.
Turns out it was Xposed Framework, and a build.prop line that needs to be changed from true to false.
Give it a try, and see if that doesn't fix your issues as well. I was just about to wipe and start over, when I thought, "Let me google that..." and found the link above.

Will add the fix up as soon as I can, thanks
thanx, follow this guide and the phone is really responsive now. Very Smooth (but i think i could be smoother coming from the htc m8). installed xposed and wanam, did not have a problem with Shealth since i previously disabled it. Don't use it - dont need it. Everyone who wants the smoother faster experience right now should follow this guide.
I removed a bunch of these as described in OP. I've also gona a lot further and removed a lot of other apps and processes. I was able to get every app installed on the phone, down to just one page and freed up 1Gb of data. From a fresh reboot, I'm only using 1.16Gb of RAM. After some useage and being idle, it's about 1.65Gb. Before I was normally sitting around 1.80Gb used and over 2Gb after light useage. So this list definitely helps and I haven't lost any functionality or get any errors.
OP Should add this to the list.
it actually increase the performance BY ALOT .
THANX TO
"MEGALOMANIC14" FIREKATN4
"1. Uncheck Force Gpu Rendering in developer options...about phone, click MegaKat V10 (whatever build your on) 10 times to unlock dev options
2. Use Wanam and Xposed to deactivate Dvsf under Advanced in Wanam...dramatic boost in responsiveness, lower running temp, no screen dimming or cpu throttling
3. Change Animation and Transition settings in developer options...set all 3 from 1.0x to 0.5x. ..another huge boost to responsiveness and speed of any launcher
4. Greenify all downloaded user apps...Dont touch system app/don't activate greenify xposed mod
5. Disable the follow apps
Samsung Push Service
Google Chrome
Google Books
Google Magazines
Google Music
Google Hangouts
Google Plus
*obviously unless you use any of the above
6. Install latest Google Play Services apk...def seems to have lower battery drain that previous few apks ...thanks pierriotis for the new apk
https://mega.co.nz/#!6JpBAaYZ!xyyIch...hb-U1960ZaLhaQ
7. Disable google location history and location reporting...doesn't affect maps or g now at all only stops a ton of data mining and wake locks
8. Do not use power saving mode...it defeats the optimizations and tweaks I've done to make the battery life so awesome
Enjoy the new build...latterly for those who want v1 on crack and steroids...use multicore controller or setcpu to max throttle the cpu to 2.7 ghz full time on performance governor lol then you're head will be spinning"
Soo I found a video in Youtube that showcases the performance (in terms of app launching) of the Oneplus X (running Oxygen OS 2.1.2) and Oneplus one (CM). Disregarding the appearance of the Oneplus One, the Oneplus X seem to launch apps relatively fast despite having that Oxygen OS. My Oneplus 2 is currently running OXygen OS 2.1.2, and the app launching is not as fast as the one depicted in the video.
Can anyone attribute to me their own experience with the app launching in their Oxygen OS 2.1.2 in OP2?
Here's the Link of the Video btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfi6A3u5psY

Come on, SD810, 4gb of ram, near stock experience. I do not have that much app in my device, i'd say only FB, twitter, and some benchmarks. How's the app launching in your device? you running OS 2.1.2?
Anyone?
mine works just faster than the ones in the video, and i have about 81 apps that are displayed in the app picker
the kernel on the 2.1.2 is terrible, AK 21 + root + xposed + greenify (without xposed module part, no need) turn off location service, that just drains battery. yep, i greenify everything except for whatever i receive important notifications from (whatsapp, snapchat, drobsync, disa, boot manager, kernel auditor, auto install, adblocker, etc) everything else i make sure i hibernate, even force hibernate regardless of app state.

Enjoying new features but Facing battery drain issues?
Android 10 has been the most versatile Android hence, it came with all kinds of goodies such as new features, performance improvement, better permissions and security settings.
Please, don't complain that battery life is not as good as Android 9 because, Android 9 was NOT as good as Android 10.
Overnight battery drain issue has been fixed. If you are still facing it then you can try following methods to improve battery life (I will update it if there is a better strategy):
# Install blazemax kernel 3.4 and Magisk for root. Install a kernel manager app. Select "elementalx" governor for CPU and "balanced" governor for GPU. Enable "IntelliPlug" from CPU Hotplug and that's it.
Following are optional:
# Use Pure Black theme rather than light or grey
# Disable "Device personalisation services" from settings
# Disable "Find my device" from security settings
# Disable printing services from system settings
# Disable "Battery Manager" from system battery settings (optional)
# Freezing "Digital Wellbeing" may also help (optional)
More Tips for Improved Performance and Enhanced Battery
We install plenty of apps in our mobile phones to use for various reasons which may require us to use those apps regularly or when it's needed on random days a month. Some of apps are needed to work in background such as social networking apps. Whereas, gaming apps are needed to work only when needed. Other breed is known as bloatware which are not used by us but are part of system app partition. Gaming, infotainment and bloatware apps shouldn't be working in the background as they not only use battery but also use our data for ads and such. So, these apps should be disabled when not in use.
We need to have knowledge of all such apps and their relevant categories because this information will result in snappier performance of our phones along with good battery life by following the below mentioned trick.
You will need:
1. Titanium backup app
2. AirFrozen
Detail is given below:
1. Titanium backup app is one of the veteran apps which is good for backing up your app data so you can resume from where you left in previous ROM or phone. It's made for rooted phone users. It can be used for disabling the unwanted apps by using freeze command. I recommend that you should freeze bloatware which you don't use at all. But be very careful while disabling system apps. You can download this app from Google Play Store. But if you don't want to backup your apps then no need to install it. Just go for next app.
2. AirFrozen app is for people who have such apps which are not needed to work in background but are needed to be installed. Such apps include gaming and infotainment apps etc. By using AirFrozen; you can easily freeze/disable an app and can still open frozen app for use with couple of touches. This way the app gives you few major advantages; disabling the app which prevents background processing, data and battery usage and unwanted notifications. Secondly, frozen app is hidden from sight yet ready to open upon couple of taps. I don't want my son to know that I have battle royale game installed in my phone. Hence, I've frozen COD in AirFrozen. Few other infotainment apps and Titanium backup are also frozen in AirFrozen. Give this app a try and you will love it. You can download AirFrozen from Play store.
Did the developers of Mokee OS wait for the developers of LineageOS 17.1 to fix all the errors?!:laugh::good:
May be
Nice job Ali! Though you didn't develop this rom, but the conveying part is still noble.
Finally an official rom other than lineage. Is there face unlock present in this rom

Ok my fingerprint is not working.so I needed atleast face unlock to work.atleast this is official rom .I'll try it out later .thanks for getting us this rom dev
Is this rom fast and smooth as LOS 17.1 ?
Please tell more about battery backup, bugs, sot, native video calling, And audio/video bug
Performance is good as I played COD on it for a few moments and I found no stutters. Battery seems fine as I saw only one percent battery drop overnight. I've used mostly mobile data since installing it and it hasn't really struggled with battery whereas data drains battery faster than WiFi. I cannot say anything about SOT at the moment as I couldn't fully recharge my phone since installing this ROM. I've been testing this ROM for last 19 hours with conservative governor. Added features as I mentioned are pretty useful. Unlocking with FP is snappy, signals are strong and LTE is connected all the time. I can't say about native video calling as my network don't have it. I use WhatsApp video calling which is fine.
No bugs encountered so far

Google had dropped face unlock with Android 10. Hence, official ROMs have dropped it as well. You should try LOS 16 or Mokee 90 or other Pie custom ROM for this ability.

Actually msm xtended v8.0 and havoc os 3.5 both have face unlock and both of those roms are android 10 .so I'm stuck with them untill another android 10 rom gets face unlock.by the way the next update of both msm and havoc os removed face unlock so I don't think they'll add face unlock any sooner.however the developers of this rom can definitely add face unlock as an added bonus

Yes, Degrus and VladSor added that functionality on their own fulfilling community requests. But in order to make a ROM official; it needs to follow AOSP code which doesn't allow face unlock.

I am using the same build. Have you checked settings because dark theme is grayish by default which has to be switched to black.
