If you freeze something, and it's actually critical does it unfreeze itself to keep things smooth?
Just can't figure out other then that what the difference is or could be...
Just by freezing apps did not start and show....but exists in memory...
And if deleted it frees some space ... [emoji9] [emoji10] [emoji6]

So, for debloating, are you any worse off removing things then you are freezing them?
I was thinking freezing was the safer, save your butt in a bad situation route.. But if it's essentially the same, does it matter?

freezing is actually safer in case you want to freeze a system app
I tried with play services and play store... When unfrozen all the data had still been deleted as if I disabled it the regular way... So freezing didn't even save it's current state...

I'm removing bloatware from my vibrant and having a great deal of success...until I get to "daily briefing". Is there a means of removing this unwanted app without my phone going to ****? I'm using titanium backup. Or maybe another method I should try?

Is it safe to remove the demo games and other rubbish using titanium backup? I get a warning about might having to reinstall the ROM, what's the chances of this happening?

Its perfectly fine, but back up allthe apps you delete and maybe even do a backup from CWM just incase. Be warned though removing something that requires another can cause sh*t to go wrong, for instance Samsung bloatware is safe, Google maps, places, yellow pages, all that jazz is safe... others that seem to be system oriented, other than the blatantly obvious PHONE AND MESSAGING OR FILE EXPLORE shouldn't be removed, the rest should be safe, nothing that'll destroy your phone, and if it does, that's why you made a backup

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.

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.

I'm wondering if rebooting the phone once in a while is good because it clears some memory etc.?
Though I must say I don't do much on my phone besides calling, texting and listening to music...
I have Froyo on my phone.
There's no point rebooting once a while!!..If you're worried about memory just clear the RAM once a while if u get slow!!.

It really doesn't make a difference unless there is something wrong on your phones apps normally a reboot should fix that.

rebooting
funny this is asked because certain devices behave differently when rebooting. with idevices I found that rebooting does fix glitches more than say an android device, because mainly there arent many free mem apps for a jailbroken iDevice, whereas android natively lets you free mem within it's OS. Ive always felt its like flushing a toilet and cant hurt! lol!
You don't have to unless there's a Problem.

I have to restart it everyday or the lag becomes unbearable. I took some screen shots of when it starts lagging bad and I barely have any ram not being used. I'm stock, uprooted. I've disabled all bloated ware.

On the edge forum they discussed was of improving battery unfortunately it's lots in the see of battery reports http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60959710
I think they turned off Google now ran greenify and disabled any bits of the phone they deemed not to be used .
It's better but until Google and Samsung both sort out their bugs some apps will still differ lag.
I my self now only notice lag in flipboard and Google chrome
Only when scrolling on some pages not all

Get rid of clean master and 360 security. Any apps that say they speed up your phone or provide anti virus etc Slooooow them down.,
There is zero lag on mine, barring on some web pages and bad apps.
Okay so... Since deleting clean master and the 360 virus thing, it seems like my phone is running way faster but I'm not sure yet..

these two apps runs in the background all the time...that's why they are causing some issues....and yes don't trust the "make your phone faster".....the fastest it can be is when it's new and fresh without apps

Download greenify app from oasis feng in play store and greenify/hibernate most apps installed except maybe WhatsApp, FB and Viber if u use them as if they're greenified, they won't get synced unless u open them! U should get more than 30mins+ improvement!
I suggest using a custom launcher like Apex or Nova as well. TW launcher is just abysmal!

Try installing the newest android system webview.
It's newer than the play store, once I installed, all my lag problems disappeared.
