Rooting and removing apps - LG Optimus 2x

Hey!
I'm new at this, and I just got my LGO2X today. The question I have is this:
Can I, without problems, remove following apps:
- Facebook, Twitter and MySpace for LG?
- Preinstalled apps?
- Car Home?
- RemoteCall?
- SIM Toolkit?

Yeah... but i would recommend just freezing them.

And freezing them means what? And how do I do that?

you may want to check the other threads ... its all there. The app you search is the SNS.apk

Is it possible to freeze or disable so that the icon for alarm/clock and call log disappears but can be used?
I think it's stupid to have those icons that can be launch via the app "Clock" and "Phone" instead.

If you use LauncherPro then you can go to Preferences > General Settings > Hidden Apps
By that you still have the app's installed but they won't take up space in the drawer.

sns.apk = facebook,twitter and the social widget thingy.

What SMS apps do you use? If you are using Handcent, for example, and you have not disabled the stock messaging app's notification, that might be it.
if you post a screenshot i might be able to tell you
I using Handcent but I do have my stock messaging disables... the icon looks like a postcard :s

[Q] Trying to identify an app

I am trying to identify which app I have installed that pops up this dialog? I can't find the exact app's settings to disable it.
Thanks.

+1 Super Manager. While you're in the settings ... scroll to the bottom and disable the background service too. I've never seen a use for it myself.

handcent on the Xperia Z

Has anyone who has had handcent installed on their Z experienced that more often than not it keeps force closing? Is this more likely to be down to the app itself and not the device?
I have used handcent with all my other android phones and have never encountered this issue on such a regular basis.
Many thanks..
I use Handcent every day, and no FC at all, sorry

do you have stamina mode on and did you white list handcent?

I don't have stamina mode on. More often than not it force closes when I go into handcent settings to make some adjustments and kicks me out.
Very frustrating, as I use no other messaging app but handcent.
I know it's a silly question but have you uninstalled & re-installed it? Any difference?
I use it without problem. Only app I have issues with is CoPilot - it does not like the screen resolution.
Go to application manager and clear cache. It may help

Excuse my ignorance, but where do I find application manager?
Maddoguk,
Yes, have uninstalled handcent twice but still the issue remains.

Is it application settings that I'm looking for as opposed to application manager, as I can't find that? If so, cache is greyed out so won't let me clear it

I think that pushing it in system/app and giving permissions its the best option.

They are already in system/app
Use pimp my Rom. It can do it. But you have to do it at every restart
I found Auto memory manager and I put apps i want as "always keep alive"
also i used the local.prop method I think this is better but when starting a game like smash cop or blood and glory and after closing it those apps start again"means they have killed"
but I assumed that has happened because of the large ram which is used by the game itself

So it is the same plan with IZS. Did you find it? When you open "applications", you see the apps you downloaded, right? That top bar, scroll horizontally.

If you run apps that need many ram, at some point, some apps closes. Or the app you are running closes

"WeChat" pre-installed on my HTC One. Not able to delete it? How?

Hey guys. Wechat is pre-installed on my phone and im not able to delete it? How is this possible? I have attached two screen shots, please check them out.
Thanks!
hi, seems to be a system application, so it can't be simply deleted.
you need to get root, then you can download the app "titanium backup". with this app and root access you can delete every app you want to..

Hey, thanks for the reply. But is wechat supposed to be a system application?
honestly i've never seen it before, but the preinstalled apps depend also from your region and your provider.. maybe you have a branding too..

I purchased it unlocked, we don't have any branding here in India. And even I have never seen such apps, pre-installed. It seems to be something fishy. Also it has permission's to almost everything.
WeChat is the most used chat application in China. All my chinese friends are using it, so it shoudn't be that harmful.

likely nothing fishy going on other than htc getting paid to have it loaded at factory for your region. it's like some of the appls i can't uninstall for t-mobile usa without root so i do is disable them under the apps list whenever possible.
I held down the WeChat icon in App Drawer and dragged to Uninstall which comes at top. Voila!! It was gone. Try this way. Worked for me.
