SNS and SNSAccount are used to sync/backup/restore/fetch your contacts (and calendar) from your SNS accounts (e.g. google).
Do not freeze them if some of your contacts are saved to your google account, or if you use another SNS app (facebook, twitter, google, samsung, viber, whatsapp, etc)). The same goes for Google Contacts Sync and Google Calendar Sync.
Also, I wouldn't freeze DRM. Judging by its name, it's used to authorize applications that use DRM.
Lastly, this doesn't belong here. It's not even Ace related.

Thanks.
I guess you are right you can put this everywhere. :S But yea I do this on my ace phone that is why it is here I mean why not many people only search their phone and don't look at general things.
Since getting my Moto X I've been wondering why the calendar app icon is different from what I'm used to with my Nexus devices, and another thread indicates that the stock calendar app is the AOSP calendar, which is different from the Google Calendar in the Play Store. I also noticed that the Google Calendar in the Play Store was updated yesterday with the typical "bug fixes". What are the pros and cons of staying with the stock app or switching to Google Calendar?
The main difference I saw was the newer Google Calendar has a better time selector. I use Business Calendar but recommend the newer Google Calendar over the older AOSP if you're choosing between those two.

You can disable Android calendar in app settings and install Google calendar from Google play store. Don't disable android calendar storage. Just clear data in android calendar storage.

If you go to the Play Store, there is an updated Google Calendar app. It is Version 5.01579230.
When I install it , it gets installed in addition to the Google Calendar app that comes on the phone, even though it seems like it is intended to be a replacement. Does anyone know why the new app doesn't replace the old one? When I get notifications, I get them from both apps. I can easily uninstall the newer one. But, I prefer it. I'd rather just have the new one. But, the new one can't be just uninstalled. I'm afraid to go disabling things on the old version because I do not want to interfere with the new one functioning.
Any ideas? Thanks!!
The Note 4 does not come with the Google Calendar app installed, it comes with the Samsung Calendar app. Unfortunately the Samsung Calendar cannot be fully disabled. You can remove all the calendars to display though if you want to use the Google calendar app.
Haa. I had no idea that was Samsung's Calendar. They seem so similar. Thanks.
I would like to remove as much unrequired google apps as possible before I start to use the phone.
I have installed TWRP and now Termux.
I was wondering if anyone could help with which are the best/safest apps to remove and any suggestions for a preferred (possibly FOSS) replacement.
So far I have removed
Android System Webview
Chrome
Gboard
Facebook App Manager
Google Play Music
YouTube
Google Play Movies
And replaced some of them with Bromite System Webview, Bromite, AnySoftKeyboard, Newpipe.
I am thinking of removing, but not sure if all safe, or what to replace them with:
Gmail
Google Contacts
Google Sync Contacts
Calculator
Calendar
Clock
Google Text To Speech
Lens
Maps
Are there any I shouldn't remove, are there more that I should, are any of the moto apps okay to remove?
And any suggestions for what to replace them with?
I hadn't heard of fossdroid.com or fsfe.org when I posted here, and reading over some other post on other forums I debloated quite a lot and replaced them with many of the alternatives on f-droid and fossdroid.
How is the debloating going?
Is there any risk taken by unistalling the Google apps in the image, will other Google services stop working? Or it's cool to go do unistall them, as I never use them and find them extremely useless

No risk, you can uninstall them
Google Services looks for the Google app if you want to change some settings on your phone specifically linked to your Google account. The Google app is also necessary if you use Google Assistant or use Google for voice unlock or use hands free features in Google apps like Maps. I disable Gmail, Google Music, Google Video, Google Hangouts and other Google stuff I don't use or need but I wouldn't recommend touching the actual Google App unless you were planning on getting rid of all your Google apps and services.
