I dont have any social networking apps/widgets that I rely on to do automatic updates, can I remove the snsservice.apk and still get my facebook and twitter working with manual updates?

If I remember correctly, the snsservice.apk is required for the phone to work properly (the way Samsung programmed it) and by removing it, it'll f-up your phone.
Do a backup with Titanium and if it does screw up you got backup. Aslo I think SNS is needed for emails/exchage if you use samsungs client. I myself have disabled the Process with autostart manager but have as yet to delete the app. Disabling the process doesn't seem to do any damage as it was first thing I disabled when I found Autostart manager months ago

Sorry if these Qs have been answered before - I tried finding them using the search function for the better part of the afternoon/evening, but...
Are there any decent ROMs that either include the stock Samsung apps (Samsung IM, Email, etc.), or is there an easy(ish) way to load them on after the fact (ADB push/install)? I made a Titanium BU of the stock Samsung apps that shipped with the phone, but when I tried either restore App or Restore App+Data, I ended up with FCs on the apps. Does this have to do with a bad B/U, or is it because I backed them up on 2.1 and am trying to restore them on 2.2?
Also, I've noticed that I can't create SNS accounts on my phone anymore, and the "Integrated contact accounts" section of Accounts & Sync has no option to add accounts. All I have is the option to create "other" accounts. I liked the tighter feeling integration of having my accounts added as part of the ROM itself without needing to install the Facebook or Twitter apps, but I suppose I have to take what I can get.
Thanks!
Well, for whatever firmware your rom was made for, you can take a stock, deodexed version of that and start readding applications from that. That is what I've been using from a JPX stock on my phone for the last 2 weeks or so.....
I would like to stop using the integrated Gmail application!
Is that possible.
I'm using, and its very nice, the Samsung application.
If I try to uninstall it tells me that it can uninstall only the updates.
The issue is that both Samsung and Gmail application have push notification and I get notified from both.
Thank you in advance
nobody?
I dont want to use any more the build in client Gmail.....
Have you tried going into Gmail ->Menu-> accounts and deleting yours? I guess that would stop it from notifying new mail.

Like dandon said DISABLE THE GMAIL SYNC in Accounts and Sync.
OR
Use System App Remover to remove Gmail. Do this at your own risk.
You should be rooted to use this app.

I have layer preinstalled, would the app remover get rid of it without affecting the phone normal operation.
Thanks

I don't think removing Layar should affect the system. No idea.
I've tried removing Adobe flash and everything's fine.
Layar can be removed safely. In fact, all apps that you can find on the Samsung Market can be removed. There's a slight issue with task manager though. If you press and hold the home button, a window appear with a task manager bar. Pressing that will result in an error. Nothing major that will affect normal phone usage though.
But NEVER remove Gtalk.
Guys...
the idea is to have the synchronization with the account of gmail(for contacts) but not to use the Gmail build in application.
After using the Samsung Email application for Gmail and Yahoo, I have now in the menu "Accounts and Sync" two accounts that I can sync.
My question is: how to remove the account only from the Gmail application and not from the Sync menu.
Thank you,
Contacts can be synced between phone and google via exchange active sync
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I have a stock HTC one
all I have done is freeze some of the apps as per the list on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681729
Sadly I left the email setup to last ( having set up all the contacts, apps etc) and the mail prog seems to be crashing.
I could just manage to set one account at and received a test email, which I could reply to but that's it.
when I open it it is incredibly slow and I cant get the menu button to work , the back button also doesn't work.
eventually I get a message saying that mail has stopped working.
I will try enabling everything and see if that makes it work but I thought I would ask here if anyone had experienced such problems or knew of a cure
thanks

Not an answer to your question but try Aqua mail.
Much better than k9 or stock.
Hi
Am I ended up doing a hard reset
Added mail accounts and all was fine
Disabled bloat, checked mail, all good.
Added games, checked all good.
Added apps. Checked all good.
That was 4 hours ago and it's happening again
Any ideas
Thanks
disabling apps may result to other apps crashing because it may be dependent on that app.
I was quite careful about what apps ive disabled and am pretty sure that is not whats causing it ,I checked it after I disabled the apps and it worked fine (for a few hours)
The only thing I can think of is one of the apps I downloaded. But I am hesitant to think its that as all the apps were installed on my sensation and the mail was fine
The only apps that required the "non authorised apps" warning were mm tracker and quick office pro so I have disabled them and restarted the phone. I then e mail tried the mail prog
still no joy
the thing is even if I enable all the disabled apps it still doesn't work
I know that I can get another app but that doesn't help my ocd about setting the phone up
after rebooting and loading apps I found that DW contacts was causing the crash
hard reset and re load of all apps except dw and all is good
I'm on a Nook HD+ 32GB and CM 10.1.3. Sync is simply not working. I don't mean calendar or contacts, I mean everything that uses sync. Or, to put it another way, every app/service that registers themselves under the "Accounts" section of the settings. So for example, Firefox sync, Evernote, Vine and, of course, all Google services (including Gmail).
The only things that are syncing correctly are the apps that use their own sync like Aquamail, Plume and Wunderlist. Those are all working fine.
The symptoms: When I, for example, press "sync now" in any of the Google accounts, the little sync circle appears next to the first sync item. It doesn't spin (not sure if this rom the circle is supposed to spin) and it just stays there, forever, till I reboot the tablet. I am getting no error messages.
What I have done: Ok, the initial sync works. When I first set up the account, it syncs. I have since factory reset and re-flashed 4 times trying to fix this. The initial sync works but then it never syncs again. If I remove and re-add accounts, it syncs fine the first time but then it doesn't sync again.
I have tried deleting all data from every sync enabled app. When I do that, it doesn't sync at all, not even once. Only time it syncs, that I have seen, is on the initial account setup.
Help: I need troubleshooting ideas and, better, all the things that might stop syncing from working. The mechanism itself seems to be working as it does an initial sync. Something seems to be stopping it from doing any more syncs though and I have no clue what or how the sync system works. What apps are involved in syncing? Is it Google Framework? Other things?
Thanks!!
Be sure that you don't prevent google apps to see your personal data. Go to Settings -> Security -> Privacy guard to check that

Appreciate the help! I don't use Privacy guard and no apps are enabled, but I do use Open PDroid. I tried deleting all rules for every system app in in Pdroid and then syncing but it still does not work.
Any other ideas? Thanks!
After not getting any traction on fixing this, I started trying the 10.2 nightlies. However, I am running into issues with that and would really rather be back on my 10.1.3 build. So a quick "bump" to this thread.
I am wondering if AFwall is somehow to blame here? Before I flashed 10.2 I uninstalled afwall and Pdroid to see if that would fix anything and it didn't. I have also removed the following items from the rom:
email, news and weather, notepad, exchange services, Google+ and picasa uploader. I should note I have removed email, exchange services, google+ and picasa uploader on my 2 Samsung phones (G4 and Note 2) and my Asus tablet (TF300) as well and not had any issues, but I though I would mention it.
I think those are the only things that make my build different from everyone else.
All right, hope this info helps someone. Instead of reading the new Dan Brown, which has been on my want to to list, I sat in a nipa cabana on Saturday, restored my 10.1 nandroid, and tracked this one down.
The culprit is the Xposed module Gravity Box. Once that was disabled and uninstalled sync worked again.
A couple of weeks ago I gave up on CM 10.1 and put on 10.2 to get past this problem. I didn't have time to do a full rebuild of my environment and only things that Titanium could Hypershell restore was put back. Xposed was one of the many things that was not installed. So I am not sure if this problem persists on 10.2 but at this point I am not going back to 10.2 now that I got this worked out.
Someone can tag this one closed/resolved and I hope this helps someone.
Just wondering if you anyone can confirm how "Huawei Contacts" can be disabled or removed without any issues. I have disabled it and tried alternative contacts apps like Exdialer, DW Contacts & Phone ....however, editing contacts or creating a new one does not work.
The reason I want to disable it as it may be one of cause of power drain on this phone. It has improved now after trying several issues like formatting sdcard, updating Google Play services, disabling other apps, etc.
Thanks,
B
Have you tried Gapps ? nandroid before ...and please report after
Thanks Vladi, I tend to disable all unnecessary Google apps even Google Play Having installed Google Contacts manually it works but forces you to save your contacts to the cloud (i.e. no local acount options). However, found a solution although not ideal - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.mylocalaccount&hl=en (I use fjsoft Phone Manager in any way to install apps, etc). It also cannot import or export vcf file.
Thanks
Tried with Titanium?
How can I replace the huawei dialer with google app? and I want to use google contacts app as default as well.
