Can I remove the browser, email and messaging apps? I currently have them frozen in TB with no negative outcome. I simply don't use them, ever.

Short answer, yes.

Long answer, yes but it's probably not a good idea to do so.

Why wouldn't it be good? Serious question not cocky.

A lot of things rely on then to function. Freezing isn't the same; I freeze Wifi Calling with no issues but when I try to uninstall it I get constant force closes every second until I do a battery pull, and that's on a bit of propriety software! I sincerely doubt letting Messaging or the like exist is hurting you enough to warrant risking potently annoying problems

I just hate having things installed I don't use, like rom manager and dev tools. Never use either.

Those apps are tied to android system dunno why it wont give fc on freeze since its almost the same as uninstalling them. But ya if you did delete those you would get tons of fc on startup and be forced to do a battery pull and reflash rom or backup.

Because you also need to delete the corresponding .so file in the lib folder.

If you are on a stock rom and delete system apps you can never install any future OTA updates. The updates check all system files first and make sure they are unchanged. If you freeze apps you just defrost them before installing an OTA. If you deleted them then no chance of OTA update, period. If you are not on a stock rom then it doesn't matter. You might wind up with a continuous force close issue that requires reflashing the rom.

I just froze them instead. Maybe before I flash my next rom I'll give it a go.

I got rid of stock browser and tmobile stuff off of my phone and didn't receive FC's.
The downside ro this is if you remove the browser or anything when you do a hard reset it won't be there so you have to rely on a back up and be careful what you unistall.
I learned that the hard way when i first started with android. I unistalled swype since i use SwiftKey but did a hard reset to clear everything out and well i couldn't log in to my google account at the beginning because there was no virtual keyboard to use.

Xda app keeps disappearing

My xda premium app keeps disappearing for some reason maybe its AT&T uninstalling it. Is anyone else having the same issue? I'm currently on non rooted stock rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

Lol no att is not uninstalling it. By ut keeps disapearing what exactly do u mean you know there is more then 1 home screen right? Is it possible it on one of your other home screens? Did u open the app drawer and scroll through your apps and not see it as well?

I've had this happen myself the past few days ever since I started messing around with some roms. For me, I'd go to click on the app shortcut and it would say it doesn't exist. I'd have to go back into Market and reinstall. Very odd issue and its happened around 3 times.
The last time it happened was when I went back to stock like I am now. I am still rooted though.

It is odd I thought it could be ciq related I know its a stretch haha. But no its not moved to the sd card I'm not sure its only the xda app.

Nope. Just had this issue pop up again after I did a nand restore from stock. I couldn't access the app, it no longer showed anywhere on the phone (/system/app, Applications, etc.) and yet the Market showed it was installed. I ended up having to install the free app and then uninstall that to then reinstall the premium one.
Not had an issue like this with any other app.

I can't check this right now, since at work I get no data anyway, but I already installed Fast for FB as an alternate, and ready to test this out. If it works that would be great, the data dropping in killing me.

I did the same thing. I noticed my data crashed repeatedly while in the Facebook app. Uninstalled, created a homescreen shortcut to the website. Works beautifully.

Just did it, and it seems to be much better, thanks. Installed Fast for FB as my FB app.

I don't even have FB installed and had data drops.

Facebook's problems seem to be seperate. That app often will not connect when everything else is still working.

I have been having issues w/ google data staying connected, I think its the ROM, but I can't find out, cause I need 10 posts, each one has to be 5 minutes aparts. Is this site built by nuclear engineers? Are we solving the worlds problems here, or just android development? Can't tell the difference...

Does anyone get that prob when Facebook is just a plain white page ?

The Facebook App, or the Facebook website through the browser? In my case, I've had an issue with both. I have since given up on the Facebook app all together and just use a bookmark to the Facebook page. Anytime I would get the browser blank-white page, I would force-close the browser app and log back in. Typically would do the trick.

I flashed the new ICS radio and I don't seem to be getting data drops anymore

I was having terrible drops, everytime i opened an app that needed data lately on skyraider. Since going to ICS it's been solid.

[Q] Stock camera not focusing in 4.4.4

recently I notice that my camera wouldn't focus and I think it started happening after the latest update.
everything was working great before and never had an issue. any ideas?

The latest camera update our android update? Try clearing data and cache for the camera app. If that doesn't work try another camera app.
Edit: Typo
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

I meant I am using all the latest software.... All updates were installed.
I tried clearing the cache... Downgrading the camera app, installed various camera apps and same result.
I also did a factory reset.

Glass is clean, very clean actually, never used the device without a case and the glass usually wouldn't touched any surfaces directly.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

You could try downgrading to another version of android by flashing the stock image. If that doesn't work I think there may be a hardware issue.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

I tried going back to 4.4.2 when I know it worked but it didn't work with the downgrade.
I called Google and they will send another device... Factory refurbished... I'm skeptical about that thou, should I be?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

Download another camera app and see if you have the same issue. If you don't, then it's just the software and not a problem with the camera itself.

Hel already mentioned that he tried many camera apps all with the same result.
@op No, I think the new device will be just fine. Don't worry about it.

ART is supported everywhere, it just has a cautionary note before enabling it that it may not play nice with some apps.
Be sure to unlock your bootloader before you do anything.

If there is one thing i have never noticed on the OPO is lag. In none of the updates... but ok.
The only thing that tends to lag sometimes is the gallery for some reason.
