1. Why uninstall? Never uninstall system apps if not sure it will work. There are apps that can freeze apps, then simply unfreeze if needed. Titanium backup can do this and much more like backup.
2. Don't know, never used launcher pro, xperia launcher are the best Imo
3. Choose yes to use wifi, and use an app to set it to use in eg Europe, Japan or wherever....search in xda for like gps faster fix.
As for 1 there's also a list on the web stating which system apps can be deleted or not. You risk fc and apps mot working properly as they depend on another, easy freezy are also an app to use for freezing apps
Easiest for you would be to install a custom rom, you need clockwork mod recovery and root then. Pm me if you need a guide
Thanks for the sugestion now i have reinstalled messaging app and disable it using root app delete
Now want one more thing to ask

Lg home(i am using launcher pro)

I'd advice you to keep from freezing / uninstalling apps if you don't know what they're for. It's not like you will get a huge performance improvement if you delete these, so I'd let them be.
You can freeze the LG launcher (or uninstall it if you want) as long as you have another launcher installed. This is required, otherwise you're in for disaster.
Thanks for a very quick reply
Just wanted to say after freezing some of the apps that i donf use i got a very good ram space and i feel that my device is now working much faster
Now what about freezing browser and lge hidden menu
And yeah what is rsstarter ??
thanks

It's for the Remote Screen service. If you don't use it, you don't need rsstarter. I removed it with no evident side effects.
BTW, thanks to SuperSkill I learned something new -- I didn't understand before what exactly "freezing" meant...
Thanks freezed it successfully..!
and yeah +1 to superskill from mr as well

[Q] How to use 2 home apps

Hi guys!
I'm currently using amazing ADW launcher EX and I just stumbled upon launcher 8 and I would like to use both. Is there any posibility to make- for an example - home button to switch between launching one and another launcher?
Sorry for my English.
If you dont set either as default app then i thibk every time you press home button it will ask which you want to use.

Yes but I was hoping that it could work the way I mentioned. Claystone launcher works this way for example. I was hoping for some third party app that could swtich home apps in a sec

Not sure whether this is what you search for, but "Home Switcher" by ymst (free in the Play store) lets you switch between your installed launchers.

Task killer question

Just wanted to ask if this phone has a task killer built in or do I have to download one from market? I came from the gs2 where when u pressed the home button it gave u an option to kill certain tasks while leaving others open. All info is greatly appreciated thanks.*** Also on a side note is anyone using setcpu to lower the cpu or is it best to run it stock?

If you double tap home it will bring up your recent apps. You can swipe them away, but task managers are not really needed.

I restored the built in task killer from titanium backup from the evo lte

As usual, the best recommendation for task killers is: DO NOT use one.
Task killers almost always cause more battery usage and slower performance, just because they force your phone to reload an app every single time you open it. Some people seem to believe that just because an app is in RAM, it's using battery, and that's outright false. It's suspended in RAM, doing absolutely nothing, waiting for you to use it again.
The only apps that actually run in the background are apps that have services (Facebook, Spotify, etc), apps that do things in the background. Killing these tasks isn't even a good idea, as Android will attempt to restart killed services.

Here is a blog post written by a member of the Android team explaining how multi-tasking works on Android and why task killers actually hurt performance and battery life. Don't use them. They're counter productive.
There is an app in the play store called Grennify. It's kinda like a task killer. The short of it is that you select apps to be Greenfied. The selected apps don't run in the background while your phone is in sleep mode. I've been using this app since I had my S3 and IMO, is a must have app for root users.

How to set an app right between Samsungs apps ...

I hope I got you right...
If I do then, all what you have to do is go to gear manager on your mobile and there go to my apps... From there you can set the apps that you want to see on the watch touchwiz launcher by swiping left and right...
This works only for apps that are installed through your phone (I.e. visible to the gear manager). Side-loaded apps unfortunatelly are only accessible through the app drawer in the touchwiz launcher interface.

That is the biggest drawback to this, if you side-load an app it cannot be moved around in the favorites menu.

My gear manager bugged out and I had root explorer as one of my installed apps.. Im sure there's a way to get them listed.. I think they may have to be system apps tho..

S6 keeps closing apps automatically!

Is there any way thru system/app to edit the s6 to stop closing apps automatically? When i play a game and go to check my notifications even for a few seconds the phone automatically closes the app and it restart. Anyone knows how to stop that from happening??
This is the problem with the S6 memory management system. It's extremely aggressive and tends to close apps when they go into the background. There is a thread dedicated to trying to improve memory management on this thing, but things look pretty bleak.
