[Q] Freezing bloat - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Which services/apk's are safe to freeze in the ICS leak/CWMs?
I wanna get the most battery life out of the build but wouldn't really know what to freeze and it would be a good list to have.

*Note: I'm using apex launcher so I felt it was ok to freeze TwLauncher. And I don't tether so I froze TetheringProvision. I don't use accuweather, so I froze accuweather.. I don't share with all so I froze Allshare, etc..
So beware: Freezing what I did may blow up your phone or it might actually be the cure for the common cold. I honestly don't know so please don't blame me if freezing these items destroys your phone. But I would like some credit if it actually cures the common cold.
I just 'went at it' and so far so good.
I froze the following.

So if you froze the TouchWiz launcher, I assume you are using something else. I would say that is bad advice to give without disclaiming that beforehand. Also if you freeze TetheringProvision you won't be able to tether via the built in settings.

Why, exactly? The only thing that happens when you remove it is that you can't access Drive Smart settings.

I think someone in another thread mentioned that it caused problems with another app or got force closes.
I removed DriveSmart and the only issue is that under Android settings, the tile for DriveSmart is still there and if you press it, you get a FC. That's the only problem I've noticed in the past 2 months.

Definitely a good thing to know. Crazy how long these lists can get...
I've always frozen Wifi Sharing 1.0 and Wifi Sharing manager 1.0. Pretty sure these aren't required and never known them to be an issue that I'm aware of.
All the SNS crap from Samsung is save to freeze or remove
just wondering why you want to freeze swype?
Otherwise, great list, thanks

Whats the difference between freezing and uninstalling in TiBu

Its generally safest to freeze. When a system update gets pushed out many times you have to have all the original apps and bloat installed or it will fail. So to be safe you freeze them and when you get notified there is an update you unfreeze all the apps to be safe.
Hope this makes some sense.
I am sorry buddy. I am only 3 weeks old in android ecosystem and still trying to figure how to make things little stable. Do I need to root my phone to freeze all these apps? or if i can freeze some without rooting please lemme know how to freeze. thanks!

Yes, you will need root.
To freeze the apps, you need to get the Titanium Backup app in the market. (It's one of those must have tools.) Besides backing up (obviously) you can click on a specific app to get a menu. This menu will have the freeze option. Note that you don't want the long press menu if you just want to freeze an app. Long press brings up a different menu.
Your list seems to be relative. Some people actually like AT&T Wifi hot spots. Who doesn't like free wifi?
Dumb question: What does freezing these apps do?

Freezing the app basically makes the app become completely dormant. It still resides on the phone but the system doesn't see it. It basically hides it from anything that might try to use it. You do need the paid version of Titanium Backup to use it but it's easily worth the minimal cost.
Bloat Freezer free. Will also freeze and no cost

but its nice to have the back up and other options you get from TiBu. This is pretty nice for rom users as well that want to swich around and not have to reinstall everything.
Tried to freeze Live TV . TiBU says it's frozen but the icon is still there. When I tap on it, phone says it's not installed. How do I get rid of the icon?
To get rid of the icon you'll have to uninstall the app. It says its not installed because its frozen,the system won't run that app. But the app is still on the phone. I think its best just to leave them frozen.

A good HSPA connection is typically faster (ignoring ping) than an AT&T Hotspost unless you are standing on top of it.

Bloatware Apps and Lag Tricks

Picking Up my GS4 on the 10th/11th and am immediately planning on Rooting it and then applying extensive boatware and lag controls.
I would very much appreciate if everyone listed the apps they Removed (R) or Disabled (D) as well as other settings that they applied to minimize the workload on the phone. I understand that these issues have been tackled individually but I'd like a consolidated thread where each person lists what they did and how big of a difference it made.
Below is a FAKE example of how I'd think these replies should be organized.
Looking for the following format:
D = Disabled R=Removed
APPS
D - App A
D - App B
R - App C
etc...
Settings Applied
- Changed Transition effect from 2 - 0.5 (location Developer settings)
- Turned off easy mode (location screen settings)
- etc...
Other Apps Used To Reduce/Eliminate Lag
- Installed XXXX App and did the following
a) changed XXX setting to off
b) changed YYYY setting to on
c) etc.
Effects - Phone feels much faster, I previously notice a lag [insert action here] and now I [do/don't/other]
This would really help us all just get all of our settings in sync with one another and move on from this lag and bloatware issue.
Root it and check my kernel mod settings here in General section.
There is a Google Docs spreadsheet that the guys over at the International S4 Forum have been working on. I've also contributed to it, however I noticed that the International S4 actually has less bloatware, and I don't mean Carrier bloat. It actually has less in the System Apps directory. Here is the List Of Removable Bloatware I was talking about.
Now we just need to create one similar that will apply to the SGH-i337 & SGH-i337M.

I'm just starting a Google Doc Spreadsheet right now and we can all contribute to updating it. Now, because there is only one version of the SGH-i337 and many versions of the SGH-i337M (TELUS, Bell, Rogers, Fido, Virgin Mobile, Koodo) I'll create separate pages since they all have their own carrier bloatware.

I'm experiencing no lag so I didn't bother looking for ways to solve that. I disabled most stuff that can be disabled. It's pretty easy to figure out what can be disabled if you've done it before. You can pretty much disable anything Samsung. There are a bunch of camera options that you might want to keep. E.g., BeautyFace. I forgot which app it was but disabling it prevented me from changing the lockscreen wallpaper so I re-enabled that. The only Samsung app I kept was WatchON to control my TV.

This is good info! Are you experiencing any Dependencies, Errors, or FC with any of the ones you deleted? For instance, I know that if you delete "Kies via WiFi", the Settings app will crash if you click on that option in the menu.

I have not had a single issue thus far and iv'e been using it like this for 3 days now..
If I click on Kies via WiFi in the settings, I get a popup saying the application has closed or something like that..

That's awesome. Would it be possible for you to post the file names of the APKs on your S4 so that I may add them to the spread sheet? I don't have the AT&T version and couldn't find them posted anywhere else.
I deleted everything raqball had in his list using titanium backup to uninstall them one by one. Well see how tomorrow goes

Well I've been at this all night. I'll continue with it later this afternoon, but here is the spreadsheet I've been working on. I was inspired to make this list by another user over in the International S4 forum.
This list will cover both the AT&T variant, as well as our Canadian i337M. I have the TELUS S4 which only had 1 carrier bloat app so I'll need everyone to help add to this list. At the moment I don't have the spreadsheet open ended for editing as the guys over in the International S4 forum had their document hijacked with random joke messages like "qwertyyyyyy", etc.
I'd really appreciate it if you could all share which carrier apps come with your version of your phones. I would need to know the .apk filename as well as the name that is displayed for the app.

Deleting all the apps I did might not be for most people as they may want some of that junk.
I bought the phone for it's 5" 1080p screen and the processor. I can honestly care less about the AT&T / Samsung junk / crap. I don't see any of them as 'features'

Sick of lag? Look here! [Tips and Tricks]

If it helps, hit thanks!
Hello, read a lot of threads regarding lag during UI usage and especially keyboard and messaging, which i too experienced stock. My GS4 is now absolutely lag free, and underclocked too. Here is what i did...
Root phone (need this for some of the features on some apps)
Titanium Backup (need to freeze some apps)
disable S-Voice (i never used it; i always feel weird talking to or being talked to by a machine anyways)
disable Google Now (i never use it anyways; its a pain to get to and i dont use any of the social networking or news feeds either)
Disable TouchWiz Home
LagFix app (i have pro, mine is scheduled to run once a night)
If anyone cares, i will post my SetCPU settings as well, but on stock or even powersave it should run VERY quick. My phone is Korean, my GF's is Chinese; NEITHER has a bit of lag. I dont use any AT&T services, mobile print services, allshare/screen sharing, Google+/Facebook (or any social networks actually) so i have all of that disabled, but the main advantages come from disabling S Voice, Google Now, using LagFix app and TouchWiz Home
My Freeze list has other apps frozen you may not have, or i may have some frozen that i dont use but you do; they are all safe to freeze

Well first off thanks for all of your helpful input.
But this post and many others just beg a huge question to me.
"Why do you have a Samsung device if youre completely removing Samsung services?"
Even many Android ones for that matter
I just find it odd.
But regardless your tips are quite useful, though i wont use all of those.
Whats this lagfree app you speak of?

LagFix from Google Play Store.
I am NOT completely removing Samsung services, i only have the ones i dont use totally disabled. I use SmartStay all the time and Multiwindow sometimes, but i never use S Voice (or any voice recognition software; if i cant pay full attention to my phone without detriment i dont use it), and i dont use/like google now. I also dont use any social networks, S Health (which hasnt worked since i rooted), etc. Thats just me.
This is a 'safe to freeze' list, but freezing S Voice, TouchWiz Home, Easy Mode (home) and Google Now have a HUGE impact on reducing lag on stock ROM/Kernel. If you look, i disabled a LOT of Google apps too; i have physical books, and dont use google play to buy movies/tv shows/music; id rather buy and load them (automatically) myself so i can use them on more than one device.
i disabled everything i dont use, but S Voice and Google Now made the greatest impact on lag; Its totally gone. I dont like to have any processes ill never use running or visible; i prefer a very simple clean interface and list of apps; again thats me.
Basically, the best of stock android with the samsung add-ons i like and use is all that i want, and not a kilobyte more.

ah ok. That makes a little more sense. Wel when i get my 32 gig (hopefully by friday) i think ill try freezing Svoice. I do enjoy Google Now though. its pretty neat. But i agree with you on Svoice. I wouldnt have thought it would make an impact. But ill take your word on it haha

Interesting info but I never notice an increase in lag when I turn Google Now on. I disable(haven't rooted0 most of the apps you freeze including S Voice, run Nova Launcher over Touchwiz and have never had a problem with lag on this phone.

Google Now is the least lag-adding; its negligible. S Voice, TouchWiz Home, and EasyMode/Home are the worst for it. Why they create so much lag i dont know, i dont use them, so therefor i dont care. I have a Korean S4, my GF has a Chinese S4; neither of us have lag after we disabled those three.
I run WAY underclocked; with SetCPU, 384 minimum, 1242 max Mhz. Slight lag coming out of deep sleep/idle for a long time, but ZERO lag in messaging with stock or GoSMSpro, and no problems with high end games (dont play them, just wanted to see if underclocking would create issues/crashes. they dont).
Like i said, if you disable all the things you dont/wont use, it will help. There is a LOT i dont use, but S Voice/TouchWiz/EasyMode made the biggest difference; more than everything else combined.

Also, freezing Samsung apps may prevent you from getting updates to WatchON, s health etc.
I mean, you could freeze the living piss out of this phone. But there comes a point, where if you're going to freeze all the bloat, why not just flash a deodexed debloated rom like ib4st1ds. The only stuff I have frozen is what I've seen running..

Also, freezing Samsung apps may prevent you from getting updates to WatchON, s health etc.
I mean, you could freeze the living piss out of this phone. But there comes a point, where if you're going to freeze all the bloat, why not just flash a deodexed debloated rom like ib4st1ds. The only stuff I have frozen is what I've seen running..

Mine doesn't lag as well. Damn got the faulty batch. Also, I froze all the ATT crap but I still have some Samsung apps like S-health, watch on and stuff. I also froze google apps like Google books, music etc as I noticed Google music was always running. Don't know about lag but it also helps with battery....

First thing I did was run stock deodexed. Turned S Voice off from home button and turned the animator scales to 0.5x. Its very fast lol.

Thanks OP. That home button thing really sped things up.
On a side note just a heads up to anyone going on a freezing spree. I noticed when I froze Samsung syncadapters 2.5.6 I was not able to send mms pics anymore.

I received my AT&T SGH-I337 yesterday, I can’t believe how lag it is, I’m comparing it with an S3, and it’s totally worst, I spec that disabling this thing helps. thx.
