From other post:
Another way to disable apps is to use Titanium backups "freeze" or the "disable" with adb. Both prevents the app from running BUT leaves it intact and give you a possibility to restore all apps with a hard reset.
Here is a guide from Paul at Modaco:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231
Basically its use adb to run a PM command:
pm disable com.Apps.apps (change the file name to the apk you want to disable.
Note: titanium "freeze" do same thing

Fixed (hopefully)
I noticed that freezing using titanium takes a while... It just reports 'freezing...' and seems to hang there (after terminating and restarting the apk appears as frozen though).
Anyone with similar issues?
I can recommend SystemApp Remover, cheap nice UI installer/remover/disabler/backup app for your system apps, works very fine.
Can you disable the icon for alarm and call log and still get access to these in the call-app and the clock-app?
Anyone know this?
Hi, i just got my 2x and i‘m very new to this process, but does anyone know if you can do this with a temporary root then have your phone reboot with the apps still frozen? I‘m reluctant to void my warranty without a good reason e.e custom gingerbread ROM‘s, thanks in advance for any replies

Not really sure, but with root you dont really have to be carefull for waranty issues. You can very easily unroot your phone with SuperOneClick root and there won't be any trace left
Thank you for such a quick reply, i think i‘ll attempt it with a temp root and if it doesn't work i‘ll root it permanently since i will be flashing ROM‘s to it in the future.

The app disabling is not "linked" to the rooting process.
If you disable apps using a temproot they will stay disabled until you factory reset the phone or re-enable them.

I tried, and it didn't work. Anyone know if it is possible to get rid of those two icons from the app drawer?
Just a word of warning: if you freeze some important apps and do a factory reset (using default recovery) you will probably get stuck on boot animation or beyond.
That is what I did. I froze LG Home using AntTek App Manager, then did a factory reset without unfreezing it and I was stuck after the first Setup Wizard. I had to reflash the phone using NVflash.
Bloat Freezer is free on the market and works much the same way as titanium for freezing apps

I got the LG Optimus 2X with the F-secure app. preinstalled.
Is it possible to remove the app without rooting the phone?
How about just remove the annoying notification sound, when the F-secure app scans installations or sd-card.
Has someone found a solution ?
Also interested in getting rid of the sound on f-secure.
As far as I know, there is no way to uninstall F-Secure as it is in system partition.
Don't be afraid to root tho, getting back is easy and with Paul's (paulobrien) ROM the phone is AMAZINGly fast!

Direct link for more info please?
Just take a look around development forum here You'll find everything what you need there.
Thinks to look for and to read about:
1) Rooting (matter of 2 minutes)
2) Installing custom recovery (Clockwork mod, CWM), matter of a minute
3) Choosing ROM without LG's crapware and installing (try Gilgamesh), requires some basic knowledge of installing custom rom to your phone, it's the same for most of the phones, check some videos on youtube (for whatever phone, nexus one will work, desire too and so on). You get into recovery AFTER installing clockwork mod by turning the phone of and turning it on again while holding volume down button. Keep them down until you see "ANDROID" on you phone and then release both buttons
I'm sorry to resurrect this thread, but does anyone know how to remove the annoying notification sound from F-Secure or if there is a notification modifier available in the market?
I never found a way to remove the sounds, so I stopped using it and is now looking for an alternative.
I see. Well there are alternatives I guess. Have you tried emailing their support and seeing?
I just want to post an update to this thread. If you download the latest app from their website it does have an option to remove the sound I believe. I don't use this application anymore.

I downloaded the latest version (7.1) from f-secure.mobi today and still can't find any option to disable the sound.
Hi
Im just trying to find out what rooting the device will buy me...since I sideload apk files anyway...I know with rooting I can eventually get the Google play on the device...I'd like to hear from those that rooted it, what else it brought to the table. Because of all the bricked units and the bootloader being locked...Im a little nervous to do it..especially when I see one user successfully rooted it..only to have the screen come up blank a few days later..any input or feedback would be greatly appreciated....
If you follow all the directions right in rooting your device. Then you should not need to worry. If you have experience then you should be fine. Root gives you access to all system files. The reason people are getting brick is cause they mess with the system files. We do not fully know what all the files are for yet. So you just need to be careful. Root gives access to a completely different launcher keyboards. There are many topics on what you can do.

Just two things for example:
without root you can't use any other launcher except the amazon one
and can't use international keyboards.
Other things like backups, optimizing your device.. are not so critical

Not entirely true. Without root, you are limited to the number of launchers that will work. And with those that DO work, tapping the home soft button brings up the default Amazon UI. But you CAN use a launcher different than Amazon's.
I'm using ADW Launcher EX on a full stock unrooted KFHD. I like the flexibility of having access to both interfaces. I have decided that I won't root it until there is a foolproof way to prevent Amazon from forcing a subsequent update that would undo root.

is there a way to disable or freeze the component responsible for update downloading?
or to disable communication with update server?

I´m done with rooting
I root my KFHD as i get it out of the box; then get an ota update, lost root, root again, another ota, and another root and son on and on...
Since the google play market remains usable after lost the root privileges, i don't intend to root again; i live in mexico so i cant afford to brick my kindle fire.
The only apps screwed after lost the root where google maps and youtube; i got them in system/apps and disappear after the update, side loaded they dont log in, they need the google login service apk found in this forum, and after a reboot the login fine.
I dont care for backgrounds, widgets or alternate launchers; i just need to launch my games and apps on the superb screen of my KFHD and the amazon launcher does just that.
until someone breaks the bootloader...
Hi all,
Im new to Android but I have done a fair bit of developing with Windows phones. I have recently bought a LG Optimus 4X HD and the first thing I want to do is install PhoneLocator Pro for security.
In Windows I used to install security software to the extended ROM so if it was factory reset the software would stay. PhoneLocator Pro says it can do this if the phone is rooted. I have read the guide to rooting and im ready to give it a go.
My question is after I have rooted it, installed the software and removed the bloatware is it then possible to unroot the phone to protect it from accidental deletion and also to increase the security by not allowing deletion of PhoneLocator Pro when it is installed to the ROM.
I have done a lot of reading up on rooting but cant find anything on unrooting. I have also searched but when you search for "ROOT" a lot comes up.
Thanks

"5th. Automatically turns on the GPS giving you greater accuracy. Available only on phones with ROOT"
Soo, if you unroot the phone, the app won't work...
Stock apps can be uninstalled from the phone, and if you unroot there is no problem.
We can't have everything...
Thanks for your help.
If I leave the GPS activate all the time it should still work though shouldnt it?
How do I unroot and then i can try it?

In "SuperSU" you have the option "Remove root completly".
About the app... I don't know if only needs root for that option or to work normally. I never tried that app.
Thanks RuedasLocas.
In your opinion what freeze app software do you consider the best. Im thinking of trying App Quarantine and AntTek App Manager. From what I can see a few havent been updated for a while and therefore dont run so well on ICS.

Sorry if I steal the answer to this question but you can use the free app SDmaid. It also has an App management menu where you can freeze apps.
Or use Titanium Backup Pro Root.

Well... I use Root Uninstall Pro and AntTek Explorer, now, if they are the best or not...
They're very easy to work with and very effective.
RU allow to uninstall or freeze, give the app file location and directory thru AntTek Explorer.
AntTek Explorer allow to see and manage hidden files on the device.
If you plan to do some more Android stuff (especially flash roms what might be possible soon), I'd recommend you to buy Ti Backup.It's great for backups and can freeze, root uninstall, fix market links and more. I have never regretted buying it because you can do so much with it.

Sounds like you need to root it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35267728
I strongly suggest using titanium backup and freezing apps rather than uninstalling them. You can save yourself some serious headaches.

I have followed the procedure yesterday , its all "Ok" , yet i don't have root privileges :/
It's impossible to give you any advice when you're being so cryptic, please explain in detail exactly what you've done, trying to do and anything else that relates. Telling us that you've rooted the device but don't have root access tells us exactly nothing unfortunately.

Hey does anyone know how to remove Carrier IQ on Stock using a root explorer ?? I am rooted.
Carrier IQ is detected on my lovely Note 4 ,but I don't feel like flashing a custom rom to get rid of it until the 5.0 release.
Thanks in advance :good:
EDIT: I just tried using system tuner to stop carrier iq and my phone after reboot went haywire...I kept getting system application manager crashes every few seconds so I tried restarting those services, but still continued to get fc's and finally had no choice, but to restore my backup smh.

I froze the System Manager App in TItanium (Pink Steering Wheel Looking Thing)...and com.carrieriq.blah.blah.blah was still showing up in Amplify with a **** ton of wakelocks. I searched for the same com.carrieriq.blah.blah.blah within Titanium and could find no refernce to it. No reference to anything "IQ" related in Titanium. It seems that even when it's frozen in Titanium...some reference to it somewhere is still kicking it into gear.
Anyone else have a proper method of completely removing CarrierIQ without flashing ROM? Seems like they bake that **** into the system real good.
