[Q] ?how to debloat, set CPU, increase battery life?

hey all, i apologize in advance because i am fairly new to the rooting world, let alone the smartphone realm (considering the DROID3 is my first smartphone ever) but i heard about roots, hacks and all the crazy stuff you can do with a rooted phone. so i thought id give it a try.. ive backed up all my files, at least i think so, with titanium backup. i am wondering is there a way to get rid of all that crappy bloatware without going in to the system files and reprogramming it? im a reasonably intelligent person. and im tired of painfully reading through the internet, (been up for 18 hours now) and i really just want to put it to rest. ive already rooted i really just need some help from here. thanks all, and i appreciate any comments, sarcastic or not

If you don't want to run the script in the link above to remove the bloatware, you can use Titanium Backup PRO to 'freeze' any bloatware apps that you don't want to use. The freeze feature is only available in the paid version.

thank you friend, i have recently come across gemini app manager it claims to be able to do the same things as titanium backup pro, do you have any experience with this app? i "froze" a couple of my apps and the next thing i know i cant text or view my contacts.. please help

Don't freeze random things which you're not sure what it does, or apps that sounds as if it part of the system framework or phone related.

I have not used gemini app manager so I can't comment on the app.
As far as freezing goes - as mentioned, you have to be careful what you freeze. Freezing system apps can cause some things to not work properly.
Did you follow the link I listed for de-bloating earlier? If you download the .zip file and open it in a text editor it will show you all the apps that are frozen by the script and you can then use that list to freeze apps manually...

Safe to remove sys-software list.

Can anybody advice, which system apps and services absolunely safe to remove after rooting?
Or, at least, describe the functions jf system apk's?

Im going to add a few i know are fine:
Universal search
Launcher
Polaris office
Amazon Offers

I'm a very happy user of Titanium Backup Pro (with other phones) so I immediately installed it to my KFHD after rooting.
I'm now keen to know if anybody did the same and tried "Freezing" apps.
Freeze is a nice way of temporarily removing apps (to first see if everything keeps on working fine), but it is still dangerous because if anything really bad happens preventing a full boot, it would be impossible to run Titanium Backup again and Unfreeze the app.
Any of you had the same idea and tried experimenting a bit?
I would love getting rid of some of the Amazon system apps running in the background...

Of course yes! Me too a very happy and maybe happier a bit user of Ultimate backup (Titanium played some dirty with market links).
And i've tried to freeze safe way.
But some apps like:
- Amazon device client platform,
- Amazon Web runtime
- DRM protected content storage... (I don't use any of amazon services)
I really afraid to experiment untill nandroid will be released for KFHD. That's why was the question.

Thanks. I followed you straight away.
I'm wondering now about:
- Amazon MP3
- Amazon Platform
- Amazon Video
- Audible
- Content Management Service
- IVONA TTS
These are all processes appearing as active (I use System Panel Lite) after a boot.
Anybody knows what these processes are about and if there is anything that can be safely frozen?

I would not mess with many of the Amazon applications at this moment in time.. But there are still some things that can be removed without hiccups.

what is the night android version?

Reduce amount of options on sharing files/photos?

This might even be fixable via OTA software as far as I know, but is there a method available to reduce the amount of apps you must choose in order to share something on your device? Its just annoying when you don't even use 2/3 of the apps for sharing, most of which aren't used at all. I know I can delete the bloatware and it will reduce some.....
Attached a screenshot in case clarification is needed. Even if you are sharing a widely know method and want to toss in a smart comment, I deserve it if a fix exists and I am missing it. TIA

very simple, apps that you dont use, get rid of them. or go into the main settings, choose apps, now disable the system apps that you dont use. or, if you have root, delete those apps that you dont use.

There are some obvious apps I know I can delete without system harm. I guess I can pretty easily search for what is 'safe' to delete, such as below.....
Apps I don't use:
Messenger (I use Messaging for SMS/MMS)
Bluetooth
Hangouts
Google+ (I'm sure I can delete)
Photos (Picasa/Google)
Kindle (I'm sure I can delete)
AT&T Locker
But here is the real twist........
Apps I use but would never send via:
Audio Manager
Tapatalk
Convert to PDF
Android Beam
AirDroid
ES File Explorer 'Send by LAN'
ES File Explorer 'Save to'

In a word, no.

[Q] Deleting bloatware and non system essential apps.

I generally try to run a minimalist setup, with all the bloatware and unwanted apps removed on my rooted devices. I don't plan o root this s6 edge but would like to know if there is a way to remove bloatware permanently and other unwanted apps. Just ordered the phone and it is on its way so I don't have it yet but I have read some articles on bloatware being disabled but not really removed.
Yes i realize this is a verizon sub forum.
cheers

The best you could to is disable the unwanted apps. It's (I believe) equivalent to freezing apps on Titanium Backup, so it's fairly effective. To remove them, however, you are going to have to root your phone because you would need access to the system partition.

Thanks makes sense.

Go check out this thread. Post number 8 has a link to a tool that can safely disable apps without the need for root. My phone is flying now after i disabled over 100 apps.

Greenify, App Manager Disable, Titanium Backup Freeze

Hi All,
Being on Note 4 and Note Edge had made me forgot things I can do being rooted. To my understanding, the default application manager can disable apps, and titanium backup can go beyond that list from the default application manager. I have also got Greenify. Would anyone care to share what they have disabled/froze in TB and also what they have added on the Greenify list? Thanks in advance!

I basically greenify everything except apps that I want running in the background (desired notifications, watch apps etc). If something doesn't work right, just ungreenify it. The more the better I always say.
I don't have a list for freezing apps, but right off the bat you want to freeze sdm.apk so you don't get updates. I freeze knox and ITIgnite as well. Then of course i remove any games/verizon/Amazon/google play software i dont want.
