(Q)list of apps that can be frozen

What are the apps that can be safely frozen on ICS
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

With ICS you can now "disable" apps from the app manager. If the "disable" icon is available to select, then it should be safe to do so. All disabled apps will be transfered to the bottom of the list.

I am curious, how do we disable apps in manage apps screen. I can see all listed apps but I didn't see any disable button there. Can some one explain as how to do this? Or as m I missing some thing here..
Edit: found it. Seems disable shows up for only system apps. Not the AT&T apps bloatware.

You can use Titanium backup to freeze apps.

Disabling is the same as freezing in ICS.

See the link below for guidance. But you'll have to experiment on your own.

[Q] Sound Search Issue

Hi everybody, I was wondering if anybody could explain me why Sound search for google play installed already as a system app in the Liquid smooth rom every time that i reboot my infuse I have to use titanium backup in order to defrost it! there is any way to defrost it for ever? Many thanks to all of you XDA the best!

I'm not sure what it is. It's for Google Play? If you mean Google Now, you need to freeze browser (the Netscape-looking globe), Google search... I'm not a fan of GN either!

Looking for app to keep other apps from being killed

Hi All,
Most people are looking for apps to kill other apps when they are running - I'm actually looking for the opposite. Phone keeps killing apps to free up some RAM here and there, and some of the apps to not restart themselves. Are there any good apps out there that can be used to monitor specific apps and restart them if they are killed by the system?
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Or Xposed plus the app settings module. You can force apps to stay in memory so they won't be killed.

That's perfect, I already have Xposed and the App Settings module. Thanks a ton! Would this be the "insistent notification" option?

Nope. The resident checkbox is what you want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-7-1-2013-12-15-t2437377

Hmm, that actually makes a lot more sense. Thanks again for the help!

No problem.

I'm not sure about Rom Toolbox Lite but the Pro version lets you add apps to the exclude list for task manager so those apps don't get killed.

Thanks, I think I have the pro of that app purchased from a while ago. Will give that one a try as well.
