I have several apps Greenified, but I was looking to see whether there were any other apps/services we could safely disable/freeze. Let me know if there would be any issues with the following:
SmartcardService
com.motorola.triggertrainingservice
Exchange Services (I have Outlook accounts added to the Gmail app, and I don't use the Email app)
Google Play Music
Titanium backup will freeze any app or process. Its in the play store and it's a must have app if you root your phone.

I disabled "Exchange Services" the first day I got my N6 (about two weeks ago) and I have not had any issues. I also do not use the "Email" app.
I don't know about the other three but I too am interested.
I apologize, when I said freeze, I was referring to Titanium Backup. I wasn't asking for advice on HOW to freeze, but rather WHAT to freeze.
So greenify on 5.0 is useless at least to me. Tried it for 4 days but was losing a lot of notifications on my g watch. I feel lp dies a really good job handling apps.
Note is there any real reason to use this?

If you have not rooted and you don't mind, can you please give me a list of stock apps? I'd like to unroot but I need to download the apps I deleted and can't remember all of the apps I deleted (really didn't delete a alot).

You rock!!!! Thank you SO, SO much!!
****! That's a boatload of bloat!
F#ck you Verzion!
Of course Titanium will show a LOT more.
If you root and freeze do not freeze any of the other authenticators like picasa, yahoo, etc. even if you don't use the apps.
It will cause your contacts to force close upon opening.

Yahoo Authenticator is the only one that will mess up contacts.
Are there any apps that would potentially mess up your front facing camera?

Yes, sorry I just realized I should have probably given the disclaimer that I don't have titanium on yet and so I can't tell you what other junk may be on here, what I listed were just the apps that are visible in the app tab, hope that didn't mess anyone up
UGH - I had deleted Guided Tours and News. Any ideas for putting these back on my phone in case I should ever have to return my Bionic?
Just a suggestion if you are rooted and are removing some of that bloatware, don't delete it. Use something like Root Explorer to rename the .apk file to something like .apk.old. This way you can easily recover it. Root Explorer also gives you the ability to change the system\app directory from read only to read/write so that you can rename them.
I have also heard of people taking the .apk renamed fike and moving it to the sdcard to free up space.

I'm used to using ROMs that don't support backup assistant on my phone so I'm not sure about this.
I would like my Market account to be my Gmail account, not my backup assistant or whatever.
When i first started the phone, I skipped all backup assistant things and added my Gmail. But when i go to Accounts, it still locked with backup assistant.
I need it to be my Gmail account to get all my paid apps.
Do you mean when you go into menu>settings>accounts, you still see the backup assistant account with a lock on it? b/c in the stock ROM, you can't get rid of the account. you can not set it up and it won't do anything, but it's like the stupid VZW bookmarks in the browser or the VZW contacts on your contact list - you can't get rid of them, but you can ignore them.
You should still be able to set up your gmail account; as far as I know, the android market requires a google account. It won't use any other accounts, e.g. facebook, backup assist, etc. Happy to help more if that doesn't answer your question.

Well I know for a fact that the market isnt reading from my google account because it still says I have to pay for the apps i've already paid for.
I would get another ROM but BigDX's theme is only for stock
I'm too lazy to add the PNGs to the new ROM myself...lol
Umm.. You have to use a Google account for the market. Backup assistant is only related to your account info with verizon (ie. your phone #). If your market isn't showing your apps you are logged in with the wrong google account, OR, the apps you had downloaded are not the same apps capable of working on your new device. For example, there are games like Fruit Ninja that have a TegraHD only version that will only show up on Tegra phones, 2 different apps entirely that effectively are the same.
Thanks, i fixed it. I had to delete the account that didnt have my apps on it, clear market then reload it so it only had 1 google account to choose from (i have 2 on my device), the re-add the gogle account that didnt have apps.

In the future, while in the market, you should be able to go to menu>accounts and select the correct account, without deleting/re-adding your accounts.
Glad I could help!
Somehow, over the past year or so, I managed to get a few apps associated with my school gmail account and now to update those apps I must go in and manually switch market accounts. Is there a way to merge these apps into my main account?
You could try uninstalling the apps, unsyncing with the school gmail, downloading the apps with your normal gmail, then resyncing with your school gmail. That may work
If you're rooted and have titanium backup you might be able to run the market doctor and have all links fixed to your active account. I think you're out of luck if it is paid apps though.

SNS and SNSAccount are used to sync/backup/restore/fetch your contacts (and calendar) from your SNS accounts (e.g. google).
Do not freeze them if some of your contacts are saved to your google account, or if you use another SNS app (facebook, twitter, google, samsung, viber, whatsapp, etc)). The same goes for Google Contacts Sync and Google Calendar Sync.
Also, I wouldn't freeze DRM. Judging by its name, it's used to authorize applications that use DRM.
Lastly, this doesn't belong here. It's not even Ace related.

Thanks.
I guess you are right you can put this everywhere. :S But yea I do this on my ace phone that is why it is here I mean why not many people only search their phone and don't look at general things.
I cloned Facebook and Messenger the other day, and right after, my google pay stopped working. I realized that it's trying to use the clones of google pay and google wallet instead of the actual apps. It's very weird. I can't figure out how to make it not do this. I already disabled the app cloner app, no luck.
It's not listed in app cloner, either.
I've never seen anything like this.
