[APP] Easily Freeze/Unfreeze Apps

Until we get permaroot/S-OFF... as we all know... the easiest way of getting rid of bloatware is freezing an app through terminal/terminal emulator. This app makes it quite a bit easier by providing an API for freezing and unfreezing apps. Requires temp-root of course, but it works amazing!

I'm guessing this is the same has doing 'pm disable [package]' through adb?

Can't you just do this with titanium backup?

You can if you paid for it. This is a not a feature in the free version.
And to reply to the previous poster, yes it is the same as pm disable but easier with a GUI.

Didn't try those app as I simply use 'System Tuner' to uninstall unwanted system apps, and freeze Google Maps which keeps restarting and consuming CPU while I don't need it most of the time!
You can check the app there:
XDA
Android Market
Dev web site

Thank you. Already wrote 50% of code to do it by myself while googling for technical rpoblem found you did it already . (but i will reuse my code for other things )

Since you mentioned it - you are using System Tuner so I believe you possibly use it's backup feature too? Can it replace Titanium functionality? (and thanks for the tip that System Tuner has freezing too - it's interface has so small fonts that it's completely unusable for me without glasses or magnifying one, but at home it will be usable.

When you use "pm disable/enable packagename", you lost the settings...?
I use it too, but when I unfreeze, for example Dropbox, I need to reenter all data in the start session, like first time to use.
Why this happend?

De-Bloat list for stock rom

I don't know if there is a thread already for this. Can anyone list the apps and bloatware that are safe to freeze using titanium backup on the stock rom...

Download Scott's clean Rom, much easier then doing it yourself. Completely stock, debloated, tweaked, and nice mods if you want them.

Additional debloat!
A helpful tool I use to clear up space and make the system faster is an app called "DiskView", downloadable free from Play Store. It analyzes all partitions and lists directories/files and a percentage bar of how much space they're taking. With this I found a bunch of instructional how-to videos in the system/media/video/GuidedTour folder. Also, taking up some space are the hidden Voice Recognition language packs under /system/VODB. Delete all the language code folders you don't want. Also, this using like 10MB but also a privacy concern, there was a face recognition database under /system/lib. If you don't use the preloaded Swype keyboard, even after you uninstalled it, there's an extra database under /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so. Delete.
If you have a Galaxy Note, it might be worth noting that the S Note templates that you could never seem to delete can now be removed permanently. They actually use up a lot of space. First, delete the templates from your usual S Note folder on your SD card, obviously. Then navigate to /system/preload and /system/preloaddata and delete everything related to S Note in there. For me there was nothing other than S Note stuff. Should be the templates in one and a database in the other. Once you reboot, they'll never come back!
Enjoy!
<<< Please say thanks if I was of help! I am new to XDA! :good:

[APP][2.2+] SDCard Watcher - Find out which apps clutter your SDCard

SDCard Watcher
Market Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.desaster.sdcardwatcher
Description / Reasoning
Anyone who installs a lot of apps will soon find their SDCard cluttered with strange directories that don't seem to relate to any app you know. You could just remove them all, but how do you know which directories are from apps you are still using, and might contain some important data?
Since the sdcard filesystem lacks ownership info, there's really no easy way of knowing which app to blame. This app is my approach to the problem.
Basically the app lets you monitor any chosen directory for changes, and when a new file or directory is created, it checks which app is currently visible to the user, and saves this information in a database. This way, next time some app leaves an obscure directory rotting on your sdcard, you will know exactly which app to blame.
Why should you care?
Actually, you probably shouldn't. The extra bits of data often don't take any significant space on your memory card. However, it irritates me, and this app gives me a bit more of a sense of control. The XDA forum is probably the best place for me to post this app, since I know there are at least a few other like-minded people here who care about tweaking little things like these
Battery usage
The app's background process uses the kernel's inotify feature to catch changes in the filesystem, and thus uses virtually no processing power, and will not drain your battery.
Reliability
There are essentially two ways for an app to run a background service; as a background service, and as a background service with a notification icon. My app supports both ways, but the default is to run without a notification icon.
I am still unsure if android lets the service run reliably enough without the notification icon, so if you think you're missing file changes, I'd love to hear about it. In any case, the notification icon can be enabled in the settings and should help with the issue (should there be an issue).

Remove PreInstalled Apps/Blotware from you Android Device

Are you trying to remove preinstalled apps from your device?? Here are some tips to do the same
So before starting, what is a blotware??
In another words, pre-installed apps that are useless most of the time. There are also other downfall of bloatware. It consumes system resources, taking up storage space and RAM, running in the background without you knowing and draining up your battery.
How to remove bloatware on Android devices?.
Unfortunately, your carriers and manufacturers do not make it any easier. Normally, bloatware is hidden in system folder, which you have no permission to access.
SO how to remove them?? Lets get started
Inorder to remove the blotwares you need to download an app from the playstore. Once downloaded it,install the app.
Download the app from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp
First decide the app you want to remove

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see it cant be uninstalled..
Second open your System app remover
Third, find the app and tick the checkbox corresponding to it
Now Choose the option yes when a message is displayed like this
Wait for a few second . And after a few second a message will be displayed like this.Click OK:good::good:
Follow the same steps if you have to remove multiple items..
After removing the apps restart your device.
You will be able to find the app removed from your device
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE SYSTEM APPS., OR ANY OTHER APP REQUIRED FOR THE PROPER WORKING OF THE DEVICE
You can also try Titanium Backup for this purpose. But in my opinion System app remover is more user friendly
