So I got tired of my phone being weighted down. With unnecessary apk's. So I started to delete some. Then did some more google research. And this is what I found. Works wonders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553538
Even made the phone run better and faster without flashing a kernel. Big on battery savings. I haven't even got a fc on anything.

Use ACR 2.6 everything is gone. I run it daily with only blinkfeed and h/k audio flashed. Yesterday when I woke up i was at 52% battery on 27 hrs... Doesnt get much better than that for me. Smooth and quick.
Shortly after I flashed faux123 kernel and am trying to see if I can improve on this even more.
As for the sense cleaner I use that zip on almost every rom I have tried so far. It removes pretty much all of the garbage. And in the post he states that it breaks motion launch gestures, I have found that if you go into setting disable and re-enable them and reboot they work just fine.
All do respect. I have ran every ROM available for this phone. And Scott's Roms still rock them all. I even got more out of it once a did a major over drive clean and a few tweaks. This phone is rock solid. With no problems at all. I just have to take the IMG of files and just turn them into a ROM.

No problem. If you want to maximize battery , I would recommend going into the running apps under settings to see which 3rd party apps are running.
If you see one, you would want to open it and see if it has a notifications setting or refresh timers. Facebook for example is one that I know has one.

So what you're saying is, if he removed apps that had been running 24/7, that would would have no effect on battery or performance... Really...so why does anyone strip out any of the VZW or HTC apps at all? And what exactly do you think the term bloatware means?
99% of what he removed may not have had any effect, but that doesn't mean that removing one or two specific apps didn't have a positive effect on battery and/or performance.

I would have to disagree with you on this. Some apps rape your battery through wake locks.
But in the interest as to what this topic was started on I would agree with you.

Removing apps that do not run in the background do NOT affect battery. Bloatware is subjective as one person's "bloatware" is a crucial app for another person. Removing dormant apps such as VZW ringtones or navigator will not net any gain. Some people like to remove these apps to "free up space".
What apps do you consider bloatware? For me, 3rd party apps such as SMS and launchers are a waste of space, hence I consider them "bloatware".
I do not make assumptions without knowing what I'm talking about as I conduct my own tests and obtain results instead of reading what opinions others may have. This is like back in the days when there was so much hype with build prop edits and how they worked wonders....only to be debunked by numerous testers including myself.
If you read my previous post, it answers your latter paragraph. My statements may be paradigm shifts for some, but I won't be saying all of this without proper reasoning.

True. However, some of the apps listed on the link in the OP do run in the background. Just because something isn't listed as a running app in Settings\Apps\wherever doesn't mean associated service isn't running. When you have Blinkfeed running for instance, it doesn't show all of the million associated Blinkfeed content apps.

Are you referring to the cached apps? Do you use xposed? How many modules do you use? Do you consider those draining battery since they are running?

So true!!!
I wanted to chime in here...
To both people you both have points...
But if an app is running, yes, it decreases battery by taking away precious CPU cycles and wasting RAM. That is fact. This is undeniable fact.
As stated, one "man's bloat" is another mans "must have" but I can tell you this much... Not many people I know, on a custom ROM, use VZW Tones...
I consider anything Verizon puts in the ROM bloat. Any Non Sense (get it?) app is also bloat to me (Lookin' at you Amazon). And yes, most of these apps do consume system resources weather being used or not. Removing them can be beneficial depending on what you are trying to achieve.
The hard part about guides on removing things, and ROMS (like mine) is achieving a very fine balance between user needs and "bloat". Each person will have a difference of opinion. This is also fact.
Just my two cents...
Carry on!

True, but I never said they did. In fact, I questioned your comment about how removing any apps would said no effect on your device, by asking "if he removed apps that had been running 24/7, that would would have no effect on battery or performance". That's the opposite of what you said.

True, however, "Removing apps and freeing ram has zero effect on benchmarks or battery." is false. Blatantly, unarguably false.
As far as bloatware, it's generally considered to be apps that run on a frequent or constant basis, and that have a negative effect on the system. Though some people consider it to be anything at all on their device which they have no personal use for. Whatever, that's their decision. For instance, most (if not all) of the crap Verizon installs on their devices (not ringtones, obviously) is known to have a negative impact on device performance. However, from your statement, removing those apps would do nothing for performance or battery life. When we've seen time and time again that it DOES have a positive performance.

Apps that are open and then "minimized" are left paused and is cached. This is how ram is utilized efficiently. This helps so that your phone doesn't need to start up the app service every time you open it, hence saving battery. Imagine if you used a "Task manager" every time you exited an app. You generally want to use up your ram caching all the apps you normally use so your phone doesn't have to open a new app every other time.
Notice how when you first open an app, it takes a second to open it. Now when you hit the home and open it again, it opens much faster. This is something you can do to visually see what I am talking about.
My first statement was that you don't "speed" up a device or save battery by removing apps, you would need to configure the app's refresh timer or notification center.
If you apply the broad "apps slow down and kill your battery" principle, then are these custom roms with all these features and xposed modules slower than a "debloated" stock rom?

Dude, just because it's not active on the screen doesn't necessarily mean it's not still actively running. That's the point Scrosler and myself were trying to make. Are you paying attention at all? Just because it's not active on the screen, or listed in Running Apps doesn't mean something isn't running. There were dozens of HTC apps, and probably one dozen Verizon apps included in stock. Maybe two dozen of them can, and do, run in the background without being on the screen or showing in Running Apps.
And stop explaining how things are cached, we get it, we got it before you explained it.

Yes, please search a bit even on google to read about the difference.
Basically put the Android OS loads up system apps in two stages. Odex files and APK's. Part of the information for the app is stored in the ODEX file and part in the APK.
This allows the OS to pre-load stuff if you will. Deodexing is putting/compiling the set of apps and framework stuff so that each one is back into a single file instead of two.
You could I guess in theory theme in the parts but that's really complex because you don't know whats in what. Which is why putting everything back into one file makes it easy to theme, customize etc.
Hope that helps you out. This is a freebie, search next time xD you won't be a noob that way.
I believe that one of the devs on here said they found HTC's framework to be killing tasks way before they should be, any chance that this will be documented for use with all 2012 HTC phones? Many phones like the Evo LTE, One X, One S, etc, are running into this issue, and it seems to be a very common problem.

I read about how there's some HTC code that basically forces tasks to hibernate/kill after a certain amount of time, and I thought that might be a big reason why multitasking is broken.
Why are there still threads about multitasking? The 4.0.4 largely fixes multitasking problem.

Since updating this morning, I've found multitasking to be hugely improved. I can go 3 or 4 apps back, that haven't been run in awhile, and they're still sitting in the same spot. In the past they would definitely have had to restart. Really liking the update.

Ditto. Post AT&T update I've yet to have the multitasking issues. I'm not sure if HTC did something to improve multitasking or if things just aren't flagged to be killed as fast because there is more RAM available upon boot up.
The issue has become a non issue post update for me though.
The update certainly fixed mine, and I HATED it before. Browser no longer reloads when I switch back, nor does Tapatalk, both of which were notorious culprits. Sense doesn't crash when coming out of gameplay now, either.
I went from less than 200mb of free RAM on a reboot to between 350-400mb of free RAM.
To me, multitasking is night and day different on 4.0.4.

Every other post is saying how much multitasking improved, so go install CleanRom or other 4.0.4 based rom and judge for yourself. I ran 4 apps last night for an hour between Chrome, Facebook, Phone, Message, etc and multitasked them no problem with a ton of screen on/off. None of them had to reload once. It's not perfect, but to say not even close is a retarded statement.
The main problem with multitasking is that by default, it's limited to 15 apps max, so unless it's running as a service, there can only be 15 apps running at once. And since HTC likes to include all these extra apps, like HTC message uploader, music enhancer, HTC services(runs as an app actually), etc, 15 apps is not a lot, so when a new app is launched, it starts to kill apps no matter how much memory is left.
I've already discovered how to raise the limit, I'm just testing a couple of things before I release it
It does seem to be better on 4.0.4. The one thing that annoys me is that while I don't need to reload pages and all, I do have to get into the recent apps even for apps I don't close out the app. But it's much better than before.

Cool, that was what I was wondering about.
Looks like there are still things yet to be discovered about the multitasking shenanigans inside our ROMs...
While more ram has indeed solved hangs and reboot issues, I find chrome still reloads, facebook still reloads, among others... For me, multitasking is no different than before and I've so far tried most of the 4.0.4 roms.
So yeah, I'd say multitasking has a ways to go yet, but that's just me... The above user's response is NOT retarded; that's just disrespectful... More like it's just his experience, and as far as user experiences goes, I'm finding the One XL to be really inconsistent.
Still, definitely an improvement. Baby steps.

Noone? Really? Come on guys don't be lazy.
ICS is one of the smoothest for P920. LG did a really good job with this even though this was a beta and not even for our phone. Everything improves with additional features from ICS except battery life which decreased significantly in my case of ICS.
The look and feel is new and with the new animations everything became fun for a phone i once referred to as a "mistake in my part." Dragging out the notifications really helps because you had to heed them for it to go away. Added power widget feature Wi-fi hotspot. You can share your mobile internet with this baby but consumes a lot of your battery...
All in all a great upgrade but you need a spare battery at all times to fully use the phone without having to worry about the battery.
Hope I Helped...

I'm using Ferakernel-Feravlot ICS 4.0.9. What i noticed ia follows:
1. Fantastic Battery Life in 2G and good life in 3g
2. RAM Management is good.
3. Phone is quite smooth
4. Features are good.
But the following are the disadvantages:
1. Automatic Brightness is not working
2. Video recording is not working.
3. Data Usage is not useful.
4. Battery Usage is not fully useful.
5. When call comes, the ringtone is not clear. The ringtone is breaking.
6. USB-Tethering is not working.
7. Every time contacts are synchronized with the server resulting in redundancy of contacts.
8. Unable to select Multiple contact for deletion.
(Sorry for poor English, typed in hurry).
How to improve this, following are the solutions: (Consider Sony Xperia x10i)
1.Android 1.6 UI is the best UI since today. (Phone book, timescape, backgrounds are excellent). So keep this UI and update the back end performance.
2. Automatic brightness,Battery Usage are available there, so no need to worry about it.
3. Add USB-tethering and data usage to the settings.
4. Launcher is good and so no need to worry about.
5. Just change the android framework 10 4.1 and keep all UI interface and above points same as Android 1.6.
If you release with above said points, your OS is best of all.
Man, this is the Optimus 3D section, not the x10i.
noway your the only one. i have 35% drain overnight 2g, data off.

If you do some reading (reading .. not joking) rooting it is a piece of cake.
And if you do a little more reading about how to use fastboot flash you won't even need to root the original ICS ROM.
Its all about reading (and understanding).
Right now there are some very good ROMS from various developers (lag free) and KERNELS that give us over 10.000 points in Antutu.
About CWM or TWRP if you don't know how to flash it you can always use Milaqs Recovery installer which uses 2nd init procedure (or if you like you can use both recovery methods like I do, 2nd unit and partition).
If you don't understand anything that I say you should stay in Gingerbread.
Apart from that you can always try CM10 which is easier.

Yes guides can't cover everything and this is XDA-Developers not LG Support.
Apart from that there is no "true" risk anymore with P920/SU760 devices because they can get unbricked unless their hardware is physically damaged and this can't happen by ROM's.
Once again patience and reading will make your phone return back to normal but if somebody is new in XDA or doesn't know or can't understad the basics he better stay with official Gingerbread.

You don't need to be a developer to know this stuff and there are always people to help you in this forum for "Free".
Guides are prepared for the exact same situation that the creator was in. So in turn guide prepares you to be in the same situation to make the guide work.
The creator of the guide may have left something trivial out like "power on the phone" or "you can let go of the button now" you know , things that a Monkey could crack.
If you don't wanna experiment on it , then don't.
But stop whining.

Will you help me with the unrecognised Cosmo usb drivers? Will you tell me to a post that shows how? No? Anyone? Then shut up! I'm trying to help here, by warning people from your deluding guides that "magically" brick phones, because someone forgot to let go of the +vol button.
And all I said was that the thing was a hassle in compared to gb, isn't it?

How i can debloat my ROM?? Can't find any script to do such..anyone have any ideas??
Are you rooted? If so, I recommend titanium backup to freeze apps you don't use. Safer than actually removing them.

... and actually unnecessary, in any case. Unused apps eventually get unloaded and are a non-issue.
That's true. The ones that bug me the most are the ones that get updates like every week...

Yeah, that actually is annoying (plus, updates for these system apps bite into the 12GB or so of internal storage)- so to the OP, I agree- uninstall all updates to the system apps you don't use, then freeze away!
SGS3 I9300 forum has a safe to remove thread in Themes and Apps .
Thats what i use to remove/ kill/ freeze or find out what an apk does .
Basics apply to most Samsung stuff and certainly a lot of the apps in system/ apps on the note 10.1 are listed .

Turn off autoupdate and just do the ones you want.
I was wondering if people have proof that Clean Master is making your device cleaner and faster?
Is it not an app that just steal personal data or is it really working.
I have rooted and rommed devices so I install scripts to make my devices faster.
Are there other people that are using this?

Some people swear by Clean Master....other people swear at it . It certainly removes things but whether or not this improves your device performance probably depends a lot on your device and how you use it.
The introduction of CM Security certainly changed the way a lot of people view Clean Master, because now Clean Master asks you to install CM Security and vice versa...which is kind of spammy. I know that they collect data off the devices but they claim that it is kept private and never sold to 3rd parties...
I don't feel that I need the Clean Master regularly and therefore I install it from time to time. It's a convenient tool for applications backup, checking the system on viruses and removing remains of uninstalled apps. It could release some ram too, but that effect is temporally and not really needed considering the way the Android functions.

I agree, but the virus stuff is totally fake .
They are just scanning their blacklist of apps that don't suite with their company.
Some apps that are high known banned apps that we can recognize self without scanners.
Apps that offering a function to free up ram memory are also not essential because since 4.0+ is that possible in Android built in system.
( some devices with earlier android versions also )
The only two functions that let me consider installing the app are:
Backup apps without manual actions ( root required )
And clean up junk files

How true. Even viruses are not much a concern since they are rare on Android and other vulnerabilities such exploits and security flaws are not covered by antivirus tools. Fortunately they are remedied by Google from time to time. Removing junk files and apps backup is what the Clean Master is good at.

Exactly maybe they should make an app that is called "Working Master"
With the following functions:
- Clean junk files
- Disk analyzer
- Wipe call and sms data
- Wipe cache
- Battery Stats
- Proxy enabler for better and secure browsing
- Backup apps and restore them
- Benchmark tool
And the most important thing ! ; the beautiful user interface of Clean Master

Totally agree. It would be nice to have it. Perhaps proxy could be replaced with enough capable and fast VPN though.:good:

I like Clean Master and keep it on my Device all the time. It's a very good android tool and very essential (did I go a little overboard on that? xD)

I've tried Clean Master, and have seen no noticeable difference.
Everything this is the same, I honestly think the only good ram cleaning application is the old school "CacheMate"

I have been using cleanmaster for a while. Perfect at cleaning hidden junk but it affects my ram negatively. It is such a memory hog. As for the game booster it cleans up the ram but doesn't maintain it... Background apps autostart and ram is full again. Just useless
