What to do after root?

I have just rooted my device and installed Titanium Backup. Should I uninstall Carhome and F-secure or upgrade to Titanium Backup Pro and freeze them instead? Freezing means that they will still be taking up space on the device right? Also, for my telecom stock apps, can I simply uninstall them without ramifications?
Any rom to recommend? I am new at this.

Freezing first is always the recommended action (to simply see what happens), however uninstalling these two has been properly tested by "the community", and there are no negative consequences. Just do it.
As for TB Pro, it is the only must-have application for rooted users in my view, just buy it, it's an awesome tool.

Yes, but you won't get any more useful space by removing them. They're in the /system partition, which during normal use will never get written to. (Only you, the rooted user, can do that.) Even updates get installed to the /data-partition. The only real difference between freezing and uninstalling is what happens after a wipe (factory reset.) If you have frozen an app, it'll be active after a reset. Uninstall apps you are sure you'll never need, freeze everything else you don't want.
For example, any sane user will install an alternate launcher, like Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, ADW etc. These are so much better than the stock launcher you'll be convinced you'll never use LG Home again, and it'll be tempting to uninstall it. Mistake. The alternate launcher will get installed to /data/app, so if you ever need to reset your phone, it'll get deleted. When the phone boots next, it won't have ANY launcher installed, and you won't be able to do anything.

Impossible to say without knowing what they do. Freeze them and see what happens during a week or two of normal use.

They're all pretty good. With the latest batches of ROMs you basically have to choose between a Ferrari, Porsche or Lamborghini. There's a broken headlight or a scratch in the paint here and there, but you really can't go wrong. It's all a matter of personal need and taste- try them out and decide which works best for you.

Thanks for the detailed explanation esp on the pros and cons of freezing vs uninstalling. I am gonna try out launcherpro and see how it goes before venturing into the unknown world of roms.

from a greek post I made once translated with google because of boredome
The Root is the android that is the administrator for windows
Reasons for doing root:
Market enabler: see all applications on the market
Titanium Backup: You make backup all applications
startup manager: regulates what runs on the principle on your mobile
adfree: stop the advertisements
droidwall: close the internet on which application you want.
fasterfix: the gps you have set for GREECE consistently fast locking.
pimpmycpu: you over or underclock your mobile for extra performance or economy of battery
systemapp remover: place systems that take away but you are achristes or annoying.
widgetlocker: changing the lockscreen unrestricted
touchkeylights: lowers the Volt led for saving battery power or simply because it bothers light.
gscript: Giving orders linux with a click you want to do things like restart the application see longer eats a lot of space, the possibilities are endless
es file exporer: you can change the system files (dangerous not to try unless you know what you have) to put other icons or other boot animation, or a different shape battery tray bar displays etc.
These are some of the little you can do.

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?

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?

Backing up APKs and Apps: What's the best?

Okay, so we all know that when we launch Samsung's Gear Manager, it instantly wants to restore the Gear and clear out all our apps and setting. What to do?
I have read up on the different backup services and apps and I want to know what everyone is using?
It seems like Titanium Backup is popular but the paid app. for the unrooted phones is expensive, when so many free apps are available. What makes it better? Any apps that batch restore all your apps possible?
I am using Google Drive to backup my APKs that I cant just download from the Google Play Store, but are the services and specifc apps any better? Hell, they seem to be backing up the data on Google Drives (GD) anyways. Seems like me just putting them on GD in the first place just saves me the space and time of downloading yet another app.
Have also read a little about some people hiding the APKs in subfiles and then just opening them up and installing them again. That seems like a useful idea but would love to know exactly where to hide the files.

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.

Extremely High RAM Usage 5.1

Anybody know how to reduce the RAM usage? My phone consistently uses about 750-800MB for System and 750-800MB for Apps. I’m usually left with about 300-400 Free which causes my phone to stutter really bad when opening a new app sometimes or when audio is playing and I get a text. It gets really bad whenever my apps start downloading updates. It was never this bad on kitkat and I have Greenify installed to try and help but it doesn’t really help. Facebook never seems to greenify either for some reason. Some help would be appreciated!

This is why I removed the main Facebook app and installed Facebook Lite instead. Well, suffice to say I don't Facebook that much so Lite is good enough for me. For the problem you are facing, did you factory reset from recovery after the L upgrade? Its highly recommended and it has helped many with similar issues. Also if the issues are too severe its recommended not to let your Google account do a settings restore after a FDR i.e. turn of Backup and Restore from settings before initiating the FDR effectively deleting all stored settings on Google servers which can also be done from Google Dashboard alternatively. If you have too many apps installed like me you could also use a file explorer app like ES to back up their apks, just don't backup any settings.
