As topic.
5.0.6 via kang

services and happy:

live wallpapers
email
calendar
auto memory manager

Does anyone know of any program i can use to directly stop these unwanted apps to stop running every time, or any individual information on the programs?
cheers

Why do you not want them preloaded?

The main reason im being such a memory whore is because my launcher lags like crazy under 70-80mb. I have 250ish apps, and see many people with a similar setup demonstrating on youtube, and theirs is instantly responsive, as is mine >120mb free. If I leave all these apps etc free, i end up on ~40mb which makes my old nokia 6300 looks like flash gordon compared to my launcher :/

Re: Apps seem to open themselve sin the background when they
Android preloads apps into its memory for fast load times.
Just because an app is loaded does not mean it is using any resources. They're usually just sitting there idle. Android also frees up memory as needed.
That said, I've seen apps that can control what apps you never want preloaded. Search around on the market.
Looks like the slowdowns from a lack of ram still exist. I hope froyo will help with this. This problem makes the lower end android phones run slow.

here is my preferred set of apps for the rooted phone
1. Avast Security: Firewall to block certain apps from accessing the internet! And general protection.
2. NoBloat Free: Used in removing the above mentioned apps. Helps to safely backup the apk file and delete it so that we can restore them back later if the need arises.
3. ROM Toolbox Lite: Could be used for many a purpose. But at present I use it to block the ads and prevent autorun services.
4. GSam Battery Monitor: Monitoring battery stats.
5. DS Battery Saver: - My phone never went into deep sleep. With this app it forced the CPU to enter deep sleep whenever screen goes off.
6. LagFix Free: Just like defragmentation in Windows system. Increases read speed of SD card
7. Clean Master: Great task killer, cache cleaner and history wiper. I use it to kill apps on screen off.
8. One Power Guard: Underclock my CPU to certain range. AI mode automatically switches profile. Helps in quicker charging of the battery and also in safe cleaning battery draining background apps.

Uninstall Master remove all for me ... T Y Guys

If you really want to disable all that i think you are gonna miss some things.. !

Don't uninstall com.lge.internal or your widgets break and everything goes retarded.

uninstalling one or more of these has severe negative side effects. freezing does nothing negative to your comp, but uninstalling totaly borked my phone, wouldn't even boot up.

dude read the post it say my list f Freeze app no the list to uninstall

If i may add some other apps to this list.
You can also use "SetCPU" (if you don't use "ROM Toolbox" it underclocks the CPU (to what you set it to) to save battery power

Use "Root Firewall" instead, anti-virus apps prove very little need on android, so why use a very resource hogging anti-virus app to manage your firewall.
2. NoBloat Free: Used in removing the above mentioned apps. Helps to safely backup the apk file and delete it so that we can restore them back later if the need arises.
Use "Root Uninstaller instead. In my opinion better looks and more options in one app
3. ROM Toolbox Lite: Could be used for many a purpose. But at present I use it to block the ads and prevent autorun services.
4. GSam Battery Monitor: Monitoring battery stats.
If you just wan't to monitor wakelocks, you can use "Wakelock Detector" instead too.
5. DS Battery Saver: - My phone never went into deep sleep. With this app it forced the CPU to enter deep sleep whenever screen goes off.
Very good and handy app

Thanks for the list. Here's a tiny glitch I've noticed while deleting these apps (yes, I deleted them). My phone (LG Optimus L4 II E440) worked perfectly, booted with no problems whatsoever, all of the functions were normal except that my home button led was constantly on. I've tried re-flashing it and then removed the apps, but unfortunately with the same consequences. When I restored "LGSystemServer" the glitch somehow disappeared: I have no idea whether it was somehow related to the removal of the abovementioned app, just thought it would be interesting to mention. Thanks.

Optimizing Battery Life

My wife has just bought this phone and was just wondering what can be done to it to maximise the battery life without sacrificing too much?
Currently I'm thinking of installing an app called Power Toggles that allows toggling of things like Bluetooth, NFC, Wifi, etc.
I understand it's got a battery saver built in but unsure if it disables sync or not. Sync is required for emails, syncing Chrome stuff, etc.

I get 2 days with 4-6 hours screen on and do not use any kind of this crappy "battery safe" tools! Only NFC is off. And I sync with 4 email accounts every 5 minutes between 8am and 10pm.
What other apps do you have installed?

Its currently at complete factory settings with no apps installed. I'll just tweak around on it and see how it goes.

I have disabled the most crapware, like unused Google Apps, Linked In, Twitter, Dropbox, Face**** and so on ...

Yeah the HTC Sense Twitter, FB, etc I've managed to disable. For some reason, I'm unable to disable Blinkfeed!
Turned battery saving mode on (not the extreme saver) as it still allows sync whilst turning things off when the phones not in use as well as underclocking the CPU.
How do I disable Google Play Games?
I couldn't find it listed.

Also what other HTC Sense related stuff can be disabled?

For me Blinkfeed replaced the GenieWidget, but I use Nova as Launcher (see Screenshot). And here is my list of disabled apps.

I just can't disable Blink Feed.

Why you would like disable Blinkfeed? Use any other launcher and all is fine.

Because it's horrible and if the feeds can easily be accessed by opening the relevant apps. Just won't let me completely disable it. I don't want to replace it with another one, I don't want any at all.

Could I install a Google launcher without rooting it?

Yeah the built in 'Power Saver [1]' and 'Extreme Power Saver [2]' apps kill background sync/WiFi/data when the screen is off [1] and when the app is activated [2].
I use [1] as standard and it's really good for battery life, usually lasting me 2-3 days with minimal use or 1 day with heavy use. The sync is only killed when the screen is off so you receive notifications all at once when you check your phone so you're in control. As part of this, you can set [2] to activate at a particular % of remaining battery to further conserve power.
I'm also using Nova Launcher Prime as its much smoother and cleaner than BlinkFeed and probably uses less resources.

Which /system apps can be safely uninstalled?

I have recently upgraded my Xperia ZR to Lollipop 5.1.1 stock Sony ROM. I have rooted it. One big irritant I am facing is lack of internal storage space. Among the main culprits here are apps in /system (both /system/app as well as /system/priv-app) that are taking up precious space in internal memory (only 4.6 GB is user available out of total 8 GB) in the form of .DEX files.
My goal here is safety first. I know that I may not need them now, but I should be able to install them in future if necessary. Hence I am mainly looking at applications that are not required for normal functioning of the phone and could be installed from the Play Store if necessary later (considering that so many are already on the Play Store including many Sony applications)
Do all these applications necessarily need to run as system applications for their proper functioning? If I can install them as a regular user app, I can use Link2SD and send both the APK and DEX files to SD card with a link on internal memory thus greatly saving space.
Here are some I have shortlisted:
Google applications
1. Maps
2. YouTube
3. Google Search (the APK is called Velvet) - I do not use Google Search app, I do not want OK Google.
4. Drive - I do not use it now. May be in future.
5. Chrome - it is just a browser. Will it not work equally well as a user app?
Sony applications
1. File Commander (not exactly a Sony application but available on the Play Store and is already pushing ads, is there any unique functionality that only File Commander can provide and not other file browser? WiFi Direct?)
2. Album - is it not available on Play Store too? Can I install it from there?
3. Movies - same as Album.
4. Walkman or Music
5. What's New - not needed for me.
6. Movie Creator - I doubt I will be routinely stitching up videos on the phone. Still it would be nice to have in case needed in future.
7. Podcast - I do not listen to podcasts now but in future if the situation changes.
8. Movie Creator - there are 2!!!!!
9. Xperia with Facebook
10. Xperia Lounge Pass
11. Sony Music
12. Xperia with Twitter
13. Xperia Calender Sync - seems to deal with Facebook
14. Xperia Social Engine****
Please go through the list and suggest.

Greetings, you are on the same boat as I am, and yes I have uninstalled all the apps you have mentioned in the list. I have deleted even some other apps too. Also you may wanna keep "whats new" >> This app is like the update center so any new OS updates will be shown from here only and Xperia ZR will have a bug fixing update soon.

I will keep What’s New then.

Don't uninstall google Webviev.. Its same Bugs..
I have mail, exchange uninstalled..

Webview is needed by many applications to display webcontent right? What did you mean by 'its same bugs'?
Exchange probably is related to Microsoft Exchange which is a corporate email thingy(?) and hence I too may not need it.
What about Chrome? I actually am a Firefox person but some sites may need Chrome. Hence I want to keep it but does it really need to be a system app?

For example ; Application details in Google play store can't not show.. Iys says play store stopped.. And My sms Application Truemessenger is too.. Stopped..
I don't use Chrome.. Deleted.. I use lovely Dolphin browser with Flash.player

I don't remember them now, because using CM. Also why not try TB feature ? If space is your concern, sort apps by size and you will get which useless app is eating your internel memory. Also use "backup > verify > uninstall app" when un installing imp system apps. If they cause FC , you can restore them later.
Yeah its a pretty old device, soon you may be the only one (Hunting for the next Mobile )

Also some apps may seem like redundant (2 movie creator apps ) but in reality they are very useful. One used for merging and editing Video clips and the other used for PlayMemories Slideshow for album. These apps are very small in size and doesn't clog your internals. Look for the big one.

You shouldn't uninstall system apps, as they won't free up any space; if you want to free space, uninstall the apps on the /data partition, i.e. the apps that you can uninstall normally. If you want to improve performance, just disable the app in question. Deleting it does absolutely nothing that disabling wouldn't do at much less risk. I'm a little surprised nobody else has pointed this out.

Device getting Slow(Moto G 2nd gen) non-rooted

I have had my Moto G2 for more than a year now. But with recent Android 6 update some things improved but phone started getting slower and lagging. I have tried factory reset but still has issues. Maybe it uses too much RAM.
Please give some suggestions.
Thank you

Did you find any solutions

Use Greenify App ........its help u..

Stock 6.0 is very buggy, flash los13

This is what I strongly recommend doing. I tried everything that could be tried without rooting, as I think unlocking the bootloader and using customized software doesn't give you the reliability of the Moto apps, and it doesn't provide an acceptable level of security. If you have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery your passcode is useless as it can be bypassed in minutes. You don't want that.
* The #1 culprit is accessibility services. Even if one single thing is enabled in accessibility, Android is going to slow down hard. Android's accessibility settings allow apps to gain special permission, and stuff like that makes it possible for Braille back or any medical device to be able to get deeply tied into the OS. When an App starts an accessibility service, it gains special services and it becomes tangled to the OS so deeply that Android will start logging every little thing you do. That's great if you have special needs and you need something like that to use your phone, but if it's just some cool App, it's really not worth it.
Head over to settings, accessibility and make sure everything is toggled off. On top, you'll see a list of Apps. Get inside all of these sections and turn the toggles off.
* Cut down on Apps. The more you install, the worse it gets. Very simple. Strive to install Apps that are small in size and that don't use much RAM. You can see what's running in the background in developer settings (Google how to enable those) > running services. If you see any App running that shouldn't be and it's not essential, it must go. Anything you haven't used in the past 60 days must go. Whenever you find you have an App you never open, even if it's super small, just get it out of the system. Not only is it good for your phone, but it's also good for your own sanity and balance! Do some research. You'll find that the excellent suite of Google's preloaded Apps is already enough for pretty much everything. Many of the features are pretty much hidden or not advertised, but they're there. Your phone was designed to be usable from the ground - up, only install apps for things that you can't do natively i.e. chatting using WhatsApp, social media, Spotify, an RSS reader, Google Keep, nutrition tracking apps, Uber/Lyft and so on and so forth.
* See which of your Apps have web versions. Uninstall the App, and create a shortcut for the web version in Google Chrome.
* Free up storage. Strive to keep as much free storage as possible. Get a file explorer that's not ES and delete folders from apps you no longer use. Dig through WhatsApp > Databases and delete all the outdated ones. Get rid of all the unwanted, old photos, videos and voice notes left behind by messaging clients. Go through that mess your Downloads folder it and simply get rid of things you no longer need. Get rid of your screenshots too. Save the important ones in another album.
* Reboot on a regular basis. I'd say, turn your phone off and back on every 2 - 3 days.
* Use Google Photos's "Free up storage" to get rid of local copies of pics and videos that already safe and sound on your Google Photos account.
* Don't use Greenify in this day and age, especially if you're not rooted. It uses accessibility and, as you might expect by now, right, it's counter - productive. Your phone already does a good job at freezing Apps you don't use after a long period of time starting Android 6.0
* If an App keeps running in the background, consuming too much RAM and misbehaving, force close it. Get it from the App drawer, drag it to "App Info" and go "Force Close" on it. Android will get the hint and it won't let it start back again unless you so choose.
* Wipe the cache partition. It does not require root and there is a very nice guide on the instruction manual online. It doesn't delete any personal data and it works wonders.
* To wipe cache, head on over to settings > storage > internal storage > Cached data. Tap it and tap OK.
* Chrome caches a lot. Get into its app info, then storage, then clean data. Tap the first button: Chrome will delete cache from websites it deems unimportant, so you'll still have all the cache, cookies, history and login info from your favourite websites.
* If you have any App that promises to make your phone faster or free up storage or prolong the endurance of your battery such as Clean Master, DU Battery Booster, HTC Boost + etc etc get rid of that too. They're counter - productive and overall bad. I could sit there for hours giving you reasons why they are useless. The same goes to antivirus software.
* If you use Facebook, either uninstall it and use it on Google Chrome (it pushes notifications too!) or switch to Facebook Lite or Swipe. Also delete Messenger, as the web version and the external clients deal with that too. Again, if you prefer, use Messenger Lite instead. Or just don't use it on your phone at all and gain a lot of free time.
* Consider giving up on Snapchat as long as you have this phone. It's just too much. I got rid of it and I'll hop back on on my next device!
* If you use any cloud service other than Drive, buy Solid Explorer, add the cloud service and delete its proprietary App. Solid will be more than enough to run it.
* You don't have to keep Motorola and Google apps you don't need, such as Google Plus, the almost dead Hangouts or the discontinued Assist. Simply drag and drop them to "App Info", and then "Disable" them. Actually, do it. These apps are super demanding in terms of storage and stuff. As soon as you turn your phone on they don't make an impact on your storage, but as soon as they get updated the original App gets frozen and a duplicate gets installed in the user memory. That is, YOUR storage. Disabling Apps will get rid of the double copy and freeze the one that's in the system partition, storage you can't use anyway. Say: Google Play Books keeps running and it uses 200+MB, but you're a Kindle user like me and you couldn't care less about Google's own objectively inferior e-reading competing service. Simply disable Play Books and boom, your phone's a little faster and you've claimed yourself well over 200MB!
* The best security is common sense. Only install apps from the Play Store and disable unknown sources in security. Really, it has everything you need and more.
* Nova Launcher. The preinstalled launcher is great and lightweight enough, but now that it's on the way out I notice it slowing down and randomly being unreliable and not showing anything on it. Nova is graphically the exact same, except it's a lot faster and more optimized. Caveat: you'll need to open the Google App to access the Now feed.
* Delete all the data out of Play Music and set it to "Downloaded only" to prevent it from getting so huge again. It apparently doesn't always save to the SD card, and we can't do that on an 8GB phone.
* Disable the HP Printing service if you don't have an HP Printer.
