Hi guys,
It may or may not have been covered in this particular forum - I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I have an Acer Iconia which includes software from my telco (Optus; Australia), and I'm wondering what the best process would be to have the bloatware removed?
I've rooted, and reinstalled the firmware on my SGS - would the process be similar to the Iconia?
Thanks in advance..
Freeze Apps
Best way to (Like Uninstall Bloatware) is to "freeze" them. If you find out that you frooze a certain one needed, you can "De-Frost" it back into ROM.
Frozen Apps will not show up on Apps List. They will show up in Settings - Applications
It will save Resources, make faster, less running aps in background, etc.
Apps that freeze :
"Titanium Backup Root" (Full version)
"MyBackup Pro 3.0.6.apk" (full version)
I like Titanium app, It shows them in Blueish background, easy to see what is frozen.
Best to freeze a few at a time to know what didn't work, to know which one to unfreeze (if you get a FC or error)
thanks for that.. will look into titanium!
Cheers!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To add to this, once you've frozen and tested how the tab runs for a few days and are sure theres no errors that occur, you can completely uninstall them with titanium backup.
I was wondering if anyone knows what things in titanium backup i can freeze and stop that wont affect the usage of the phone. I would like to stop and freeze as many as I can without limiting it.

I'm going to use TB to freeze some unnecessary bloatware on my stock G Pad. I'd like to know what apps other people have cleaned off. Did freezing anything produce any noticeable performance gains?
My understanding is you can uninstall most software direct from the lg software manager app. There's a video on youtube about it.
I didn't remove no bloatware, just installed CyanogenMod which has no bloatware
Has anybody tried installing the Xposed module? There's a few modules I would like to use, like Greenify, but was wondering if it is safe to install.
What is the advantage to greenify on a non-battery operated device? If you're worried about power consumption, just limit the # of background processes via the developer menu.
There's apps running in the background that I rarely use, so I don't want them running all the time. I also use youtube adaway to get rid of the ads, App Settings to set the DPI of certain apps.
I'm swapping most of the apps with google ones, but I need stock rom for the stability so I don't want to flash cm. Also can I change the dialer/call app, or the lock screen without losing any stability? I mean, for them to behave like stock one without any minimal bug or problem.
