[Reference] List of things that are safe to freeze

I thought it would be nice now that we have root to start on a list of things that are safe and not safe to freeze. For my examples below I used Bloat Freezer Free, but titanium backup should work just as well. Please post below if you have successfully frozen something or found something that caused issues. Also please include what happened if you found one that didn't work. I'll try to keep the list updated.
Disclaimer: Be really careful, you can brick your phone this way. I thought I had when I froze the two I have below as I couldn't do anything but click force close over and over. Luckily I found I had 1/10th of a second after each force close to interact with the screen and so I was able to defrost them.
Disclaimer 2: Obviously freezing CarDock for example will make the car dock not work.
Items marked with a * must have the corresponding service stopped first. (Settings -> Applications -> Running Services)
Update 1: Added some more I found and some from JRW, thanks for the list!

Thank you, that is very helpful to know.
Some that I have frozen with bloat freezer, as states earlier if you use the app don't freeze it and expect it to work. Also some of the ones I have frozen I am using another app to replace it. If it is a system app and is running make sure you shut it down before freezing or you WILL ha e to power the phone down because it will cause a force close!!

do we know which apps/services are related to the social networking app only?
My contacts stop working after I freeze Yahoo! Mail Authenticator. Contacts open, but it FCs when I click on a contact. I think this happened on the original Atrix, too.
Youre correct loderjm, you can not freeze anything with yahoo in it it ties into several other applications and will cause some force closes
Strange. all my yahoo stuff is frozen and I haven't had any problems whatsoever...
Koriflame do you use Google as your primary backup? I know in the OG ATRIX we ran into problems freezing anything with yahoo in it and I've tried as well on my A2 and ran into problems with contacts and text messaging when I froze yahoo. I was thinking since this phone had less blur then the OG ATRIX I'd be fine but I was wrong.
I don't recommend freezing Email Engine. After I froze it I noticed that every time I'd get a text, the texting app would crash and no notification of a text would be made. I wouldn't find out I got a text unless I happened to open my inbox and suddenly the text would show up. I unfroze it and the problem went away.

Corporate sync authenticator does this for me, no other authenticators do though. Make sure you don't have that frozen.
EDIT: I can confirm that freezing Yahoo Authenticator gives me the Contcats FC as well.

Same here, no issues. Although I use Go! Contacts, I just pulled up the stock app, and it works fine as well.

Most of the time freezing the Yahoo stuff will cause some force closes. Just unfreeze them and it should be back to normal. If not cycle the power and it should be then.

Its unfrozen I just want to add my name on the people that has FC upon freezing yahoo stuff hehehe
warning : don't freeze the "Homescreen" even if you use another launcher in new (android 2.3.6) firmware. I'm using ADW Launcher EX but when I try to freeze the "Homescreen" then it keeps FC... luckily I can roll it back.

Freezing My Music 2.3.6 gets rid of the Music Store... and I froze all 7 of my stock "Social" apps.
Is it safe to uninstall ATT Address book and social location?
If i uninstall system apps,will it restore when i install deodex 2.3.6 or custom rom?
Thanks in advance

Yes, the stock system apps are included in the custom roms (except the ones that can't be deodexed).. just make sure you wipe data in cwm before installing a new rom

Apps sharing straight to Hangouts

Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue with apps not giving me the ability to choose what app I want to use when I click share. If I try to share a webpage in chrome it goes directly to Hangouts, it doesn't let me choose gmail or twitter, etc. Same in Feedly and other apps.
Does anyone else have this issue? It is very annoying and I can't figure out a fix.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Same problem here.
I noticed it after installing chrome beta, but it could have been a coincidence.
I tried clearing the defaults and the settings for the Hangouts app, no luck...
Disabling the app from the settings restores the usual list of apps, but I do need hangouts!

Hi guys
I saw that this post was seen more than a hundred times but no one has interacted
I ask all those who are facing the same issue to post it, maybe Sony will react with an update to correct
Thanks
Flash new firmware in flashtool, and select to wipe everything except ssd(internal storage) and you are golden.
Installing Facebook and Messenger automatically adds Facebook App Installer and Facebook App Manager to your installed apps in settings. Interfering these apps might break their updates!
App that works for both Facebook and Messenger for Xperia
Hi Guys,
I've had the same problem recently with my Sony Z5 after it done the Nougat update (took until recently as didn't want to update it and disabled auto update). Its now July and apps still come up with 505 error messages, but I did find another App that works for both Facebook and the messenger within that Facebook. Its called "Lite for Facebook - Security Lock" (Not to be confused with Facebook Lite which wont work either) and is available on the Google App Store. Down side is it comes up with the odd small advert as you go between screens, but the upside is from there you can access the Facebook and messages within it and is more like the more user friendly Facebook and Messenger from a couple of years ago. Personally I prefer it to the normal Facebook app as doesn't keep telling me to "tell everyone about my day" and it is a far better option than doing a system reboot. I don't get new notification signals on my homescreen, only if I go in the app but that may be because I turn most of mine off anyway. Anyway its free to download and if you want access to both in one app it works and doesn't look like sony intend to fix it soon. Try and decide for yourselves, I have access again to people that use messenger and that's all I wanted (Myself I prefer whatsapp).

I found the solution. Just search for Facebook app manager on apkmirror by Samsung electronics and install the latest version. Now it will work.
Had the same problem for a while.
I resolved it by deleting all facebook related folders in :
Data/app
Data/data
system/app
system/priv-app
And then I could re-install Facebook and messenger

Facebook and messenger Apps Problem

Hi team
I just want to ask about if you guys have the same issue or not and how can I figure it out?
Problem is
I have installed the latest version of Facebook and Messenger on Android 6.1 but when I am in the Facebook app and want open messenger from the top right messenger icon which in Facebook app, the messenger App didn't open directly as always but messenger opens on the switch accounts page, not main interface.
The same also if I click messenger icon which under someone name in Facebook profile.
but I install messenger lite app and it works fine just why its not the same for the regular messenger app
I search a lot and I do flash my phone twice with an official from but it's not fixed.

Maybe it doesn't have permissions set properly?
Or, maybe you need verify that the "draw over other apps" setting is set to allow messenger to draw over other apps.

Issues with Google phone app

Hi.
Recently bought my Pixel 4A and did all the necessary installs etc.
I realised it was long time since I had cleared unwanted/ unnecessary contacts from account.
After doing so I noticed something.
The dialer or Phone app still shows old contacts in the app.
I have tried clearing the apps data.
Removed Google account added back too.
Updated to latest phone app and still no joy.
Anyone else facing this issue and found a solution??
Please share..
I'm on Stock A 11.
It might be possible those contacts are stored in your SIM card.

Checked it out. No contacts in SIM card.
Noticed that the contacts I deleted were there in bin folder. Deleted them, cleared cache for the app and restarted phone. Still no joy..
If you log into your gmail/google account from a browser, are those contact in there?

Nope. It is confirmed these are deleted.
Try doing a "Clear Call History" from within the phone app.
And try clearing the data for the "messages" (SMS) app (caution this will probably delete all your sms messages)

Done both still no joy.
Logged off from other phones as well. Still not working.!!
Is there any other app you installed that you gave contacts permission to?
Also, you can have more then one "phone book". So maybe these zombie contacts are in them.
Also, what happens if you go into the contacts app and manually try to delete one of these contacts?

I've deleted my contacts using web browser online. When using the contacts app on phone it is showing same data as online i.e 164 contacts.
But however phone app has a contacts section which ia showing all the deleted contacts too.
Don't know why or where is ut fetching them from.
I was of the opinion that phone app gets its data from contact app.
But clearly something else is happening
