I went from GE to sense 4.3 and I deleted a bunch of system apps I do not use. eg Sprint zone, calc, widgets, etc
However, once I reboot the old apps appear to have been re-installed. Would anyone happen to know what system app controls this so I can stop it?
Settings>back up & reset>>automatic back up....

I own a nexus one, and after upgrading to gingerbread, some applications which are installed such as dolphin browser and soundhound are installed but are not listed as installed on the market and thus I don't get update notifications for them.
I tried to clear data on the market app to re sync the installed apps but it had been disabled on gingerbread
Can anyone shed some light please?
Thanks in advance,
Mark Cachia

Do they at least appear on the market?
Yes, I even re-installed the apps, still not showing in my apps though.

You might be able to use Titanium Backup's "Market Doctor" function to re-establish the application links to the Market, though I believe that requires root.
Give it some times, they'll probably come back on it's own.
If not use Market Doctor like suggested, that might or might not solve it.
It has happened to me here and there and usually fix itself.
Another thing you can try is download an app, any app (something free that can be delete afterward) and see if that bring the missing apps back.
Hi everyone I want to remove the default phone and internet app from my phone. I know how to remove others by just deleting the apk in system/app like the gallery and FM radio, but the phone app is different you get force closes.
I'm using dialler one and opera instead but the default ones still pop up sometimes and because I've changed my dpi to 192 the phone app looks crap and annoying.
Can someone help with this please I did a search and couldn't find anything but to be honest the search in the xda app is below par.

Hi, i use Titanium Backup for this. It can backup, freeze and uninstall any app.
First i freeze system apps i do not like, so they are still there are can not be used by user or system. If there is no side effect after using mobile and reboot i uninstall app.
Hope this helps - Cheers
You need to be rooted to remove system apps.
Yeah thanks I am rooted used titanium never even thought of trying that have done the phone app but still unsure on the android browser.

Hi
then first freeze it with Titanium, it doesn't hurt
Hey guys, I've come across a problem I've never had before. Recently I've had errors popping up of low memory and a lot of FC's of Facebook, messaging, browser, pretty much everything. I'll look for apps in the play store or browse games and can only scroll down about 2 inches before I hit the bottom. I've used various cleanup apps and still low on ram. Been running aokp jellybean build 5 for months without problems. Any suggestions?

what is actually running after you boot phone? settings, apps, running tab will show.
have you tried booting into recovery and wiping both dalvik and cache?
other suggestion would be to deny startup or else freeze various apps to see if that helps.

Perhaps a little update wouldn't hurt, there's AOKP JB milestone now. Little backup, clear/wipe and flash it.
But like laughingT mentioned, chances are that you have a app draining your RAM.
Well I updates to milestone 1 originally but when I did the lock screen theme never changed when I changed themes as well as other things (keyboards etc) so I went back to build 5.
After rebooting my phone and seeing what apps are running after starting up and its 3 Google maps, Google, voxer, gmail, OMC widget, Facebook, play music and stuff like that before I've even opened anything

Click to expand...

Maps can be stopped (make sure GPS isn't on). I heard OMC Widget caused a lot of battery drain but might've been updated since then. And Voxer, you can stop it and only start it when you need it.
you could try System Tuner, available on google play.
the startups button, gives a list of all apps, system and user, has ability to selectively disable apps at startup.
I use it to prevent Google maps and many others from loading at boot. don't go overboard, say by disabling keyboard or settings, obviously.
I think OMC widget has been updated, but batt use may vary with which widget you select and how frequently you set it to update.
I'm using OMC with the clock weather batt bubble thingy widget, and from what I can see, it suspends updating when screen is off.

So I removed a lot of system apps that I do not have use for like for example the mobile hot spot app and circles widget. But there's a bunch of apps/services that I don't know what are used for so I was hoping someone here could make a list of what I can uninstall and or what I shouldn't. Which ever is most easier.

You usually dont want to remove services apks...always do nand backup before you start deleting system apks...that way you can go back to the working version...
You can use titanium back up, so you won't have to remove them. With Titanium, you can just freeze'em so they won't bother you... And it's more safe than completely removing them. If you freeze an app, and had a problem, you can always unfreeze them and you're back to a stable state.

Using titanium, I keep freezing the stick messaging app because I prefer, and use textra. But somehow it keeps getting defrosted. Anyone know where this would be happening? I have a bunch of other things frozen, but none of them defrost on their own. It's happened numerous times, I can't figure it out.

I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I recently learned it doesn't hide whatever you're freezing from the OS completely... if you go into the play store for the app it will have an "enable" button. So I'm assuming it just does whatever the system does when you go to about apps and disable them from there.
I would just hide it from your launcher. It is needed for any messaging app to function properly, so tibu won't freeze it
