Below are the apps that are safe to freeze on the Motorola Droid 4. Freezing apps hides them from your app drawer, prevents them from using system resources, and can help with battery life. You can freeze them using an app like Titanium Backup Pro (root required). Do not uninstall them as you will need all the system apps when you receive updates in the future. If you freeze others and have no problems, post them here and I'll add them to the list. Likewise if you've frozen any below and you have problems, also let me know and I will remove them from the list (although that shouldn't be the case.)
Blockbuster, GoToMeeting, Let's Golf, and Madden NFL can be uninstalled normally from the Applications menu in Settings.
***There are more apps that can be frozen safely (Calculator, Google Search, My Files, Device Setup, etc.) but I am leaving them off this list because either a.) they are basic apps that aren't really bloatware or b.) links to them are built into basic menus/widgets and clicking on them would cause force closes (i.e. Device Setup, News.) Also there may be items below which you may very well want to use...this list is simply what's safe to freeze, and not necessarily what you should freeze.***
READ THE LIST CAREFULLY as some apps have very similar names but should not be frozen (e.g. Yahoo Calendar Service and Yahoo Contacts can be frozen safely, but Yahoo Mail Authenticator cannot...and most of the "Social" apps can be frozen, but Social Location cannot.)

The "Social" apps are not required for Facebook. "Social Location" is required for location-based Smart Actions though so that one should be left alone.
redacted......as i was inaccurate....
Just a note - picked this up on another forum - if you freeze the Yahoo bloatware, you must rename the BlurContactsSync.apk to .bak. This fixes the contacts crashing issue.
Can you freeze the pre-installed "Smart Actions" ??

Well, I had a somewhat different experience.
I froze Smart Actions and wound up in an FC loop. Smart Actions FC'd, which locked down the UI... I responded to the FC, and before I could do anything else with the UI it FC'd again... grabbing the UI again...
Had to pseudo-battery-pull the phone (power-button plus down-volume) and the machine was never right again. I wound up having to fastboot reflash to get things back to normal.
YMMV. I hope my case was an exception.
Anyone now having trouble with Facebook contacts sync? My contact pictures are not updating. I unlinked the blur fb account, re added it. It synced all my fb contacts to the contact list but never dled any pictures. I left Facebook authenticator. In addition to most of the list, I also have swype, the blur launcher, and smart actions renamed to .bak
I had to download a app called photo unlocker (have to have root) to fix that problem. Just Google it and download it as its not in the market

to be more specific - if you freeze or rename yahoo authenticator (blur_yahoo.apk) you must also rename blurcontactssync.apk. i don't have the pay version of titanium so the way i debloat is to rename the .apks to .apk.old to prevent them from loading. works just as well, though maybe not quite as easy as freezing. ES file explorer is great for this.
now that i renamed the blurcontactssync.apk, i no longer get FC when i click a contact name like i did before - good find, forkedt!
also, it's ok to remove swype if you want. what's the point in having a touch keyboard when you have a real one? about the only time i use the on-screen keyboard is when i just want to simply reply "K" to a text. that's about it. everything else, the real keyboard comes out.
I'm adding my 5 cents.
I'm GSM user, so, I was care about deleting mostly all stuff from Vzw and other.
Here is the list of my /system/app/ folder with all applications what I saved. All others were deleted. (leak 215 based).

P.S. it's unix sort in the document - big letters sorting first, small - other.
You can delete all stuff that is out of list. :good:
Hi!
I'm successfully frozing the apps unuseful...
I come from old Backflip with cyangen, I would like to ask you if I can freeze also my Gallery, my Music and My Files, with also Motocast...
I would like to replace with something more classic, especially with gallery, something like 3d Gallery, direct to the folder with pics, and Camera pics...suggestion?
About music as well...do you have suggestion?
Thanks!

you can disable gallery (i did), but even if you have something else installed (i recommend QuickPic) if you click the picture you just took while in camera, it will tell you there's no gallery installed. no worries - just hit back and then go into quickpic.
i also disabled music and files because i use ES File Explorer, and Music Folder Player Free.
you can disable most motocast things, but not all of it.
FYI - what i'm mentioning here is for ICS, not GB.

I previously deleted NFL Mobile and Netflix from my system apps. Will this prevent me from installing future OTA updates? Can I copy the apk's from the play store back to system/app folder or will i have to fastboot and reflash firmware?
removing any stock apps, will cause installing updates to fail, best to flash xml recovery file, with rsd lite

Feel free to contact me to reopen this thread once you have an apk to share here or a link to a free version of this application in the play store. No threads that simply say "contact me" allowed. Thanks.
Hi,
is there some kind of test app, that request all the app permissions (contacts, phone number, accounts, position etc.)
and then displays it for the user?
So some kind of "test app" (maybe even in play store?)
To see and test what data gets / can get grabbed
Thanks in advance

I think LBE is for restricting specific apps. But i am searching for an app that just "displays the data that is found/fetched"

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to re-activate offline content on Fire tablets (in my case music + movies). Like described by Amazon the content needs re-activation after being offline for 30 days (I'm using the tablet only for travelling):
I'm not allowed to post the URL here, so you can search "Where's My Prime Music?" on amazon.com.
I could open the apps and hope that they will do the activation, but I wouldn't even get a notification. Is there a way to manually trigger this re-activation and to get a message once it is done?
Thanks for your help!
A couple of days ago my S21 Ultra running G998BXXS5CVIF automatically opened an "Access denied" screen. It was impossible to show which app cause it as it disappeared once you got to the app switcher menu.
Access denied

I could force the screen by rebooting or by changing the device's language. Using:
Code:
dumpsys activity activities | grep "mFocused"
via adb showed it was com.android.samsung.dkey which opened an activity of com.samsung.android.carkey (com.samsung.android.dkey/com.samsung.android.carkey.ccc.ui.IntegrityCheckFailDialogActivity)
Apparently there was a Samsung Wallet Digital Key update (probably v1.0.08.11) which causes it after a reboot as well as randomly every couple of hours. Disabling "Appear on top" for Samsung Wallet Digital Key fixed it for me.
Uninstalling the update isn't a good permanent solution and you can't disable the app without root (meaning you probably don't want to disable it as it maybe could cause other issues). It can affect any device that has a tripped Know. Even formerly rooted devices running stock with a locked bootloader.

thanks i was looking for a solution for this! so many thanks
Had this error on my rooted S21 Ultra as well, i went back to stock but this error appeared. Thanks to this thread i solved it. But you can delet it without root.
Thers an Windows App called ADB AppControl. there you can simply uninstall Samsung Wallet Key app.
You are unable to use it, so delete it. Nitification never appeared again

You actually can fix it without root: "appear on top" can be toggled which fixes the problem. No need to disable or uninstall it. I tend to not deactivate or remove apps that are non-user removeable as I had bad experiences with spammed logs and high CPU usage due to Java errors
Good point with the Error logs
You can fix it by removing Digital Key app from system/priv-app folder. If you're rooted of course.

Yes, but just disabling "Show on top" is easier and safer. From my past experience speaking: removing system apps that often talk to each other and require certain frameworks inside apps, it may lead to permanent log spam and high CPU usage due to dozens of system calls that go unanswered.
The stock system often isn't designed for core apps being missing. That's why disabling apps is imho better as it hides apps from the system but still allows other apps to use their existing frameworks.
The benefits of "removing" apps e. g. via debloating with Magisk is not worth the issues that could arise. It's especially not worth it if the solution is to not let the app show that message at all
Thank you so much! Had this issue since a few days on my S22 Ultra after updating all Samsung apps via the Galaxy Store and these random popups were driving me crazy.
Freeze samsung wallet digital key from titanium backup is work for me
i have the same problem, i don't know which application is causing this error, how can i remove this error screen. my phone is s21 ultra and i have knox triggered but no root device
Cihazım rootlu değil.

You are a lifesaver!
I'm on stock, but I have rooted my phone before so my Knox is tripped. I got this message every time I tried to do anything Samsung-software related. It was worst when trying to use my camera, popping up all the time.

You can follow the instructions without being rooted. Disabling "Appear on top" for Samsung Wallet Digital Key fixes it.
@Macusercom i love people like you when sharing even a little bit of knowledge that makes so difference! thanks man!
I just rooted my newly bought Note 20 Ultra 5G today, this message kept popping up. Actually, it started happening as soon as I unlocked the bootloader, even before rooting. It seems that just doing that is enough to trigger it. And no matter what you're doing, it will hijack it to show this message. It was driving me crazy for a few hours until I found this thread. Disabling "appear on top" works 100%. But in a few days it won't matter anymore, I'll be moving to an open source GSI ROM. Then I won't have to deal with messages like this spamming the crap out of the phone.
Samsung just needs to f off, at least we're still buying their devices. They're ours, we should be able to use them how we want. The bastards already have our money, yet they still want to do things like this to us.
Hey guys, please i am having this error since I upgraded my S20 Ultra to Android 13. Plus the Phone des not recognize my sim card anymore. I don't have this Samsung Wallet app neither. Can someone help please ?
Yup same for me, cant find this app.
