plz, the search button is made for a reason.

If you are unsure about what to remove or haven't got root for instance, you can always disable apps. This will prevent them from running in the background and you can always enable them again if something gets broken.

[Q] ?how to debloat, set CPU, increase battery life?

hey all, i apologize in advance because i am fairly new to the rooting world, let alone the smartphone realm (considering the DROID3 is my first smartphone ever) but i heard about roots, hacks and all the crazy stuff you can do with a rooted phone. so i thought id give it a try.. ive backed up all my files, at least i think so, with titanium backup. i am wondering is there a way to get rid of all that crappy bloatware without going in to the system files and reprogramming it? im a reasonably intelligent person. and im tired of painfully reading through the internet, (been up for 18 hours now) and i really just want to put it to rest. ive already rooted i really just need some help from here. thanks all, and i appreciate any comments, sarcastic or not

If you don't want to run the script in the link above to remove the bloatware, you can use Titanium Backup PRO to 'freeze' any bloatware apps that you don't want to use. The freeze feature is only available in the paid version.
thank you friend, i have recently come across gemini app manager it claims to be able to do the same things as titanium backup pro, do you have any experience with this app? i "froze" a couple of my apps and the next thing i know i cant text or view my contacts.. please help
Don't freeze random things which you're not sure what it does, or apps that sounds as if it part of the system framework or phone related.

I have not used gemini app manager so I can't comment on the app.
As far as freezing goes - as mentioned, you have to be careful what you freeze. Freezing system apps can cause some things to not work properly.
Did you follow the link I listed for de-bloating earlier? If you download the .zip file and open it in a text editor it will show you all the apps that are frozen by the script and you can then use that list to freeze apps manually...

[Q] Getting rid of TTS/faceunlock? (ICS)

I've been wondering if it's easy enough (and worth it) to remove the TTS/Faceunlock driver/libs/app, or should I just not bother at all? I'd like to remove as much "junk" as possible without making the system unstable. And if so, give me guidance if possible.

Recent Apps shortcuts?

Hi
I'm new around this part of XDA. I just bought an Xperia Z1 from Kijiji for $350 (Great find actually everything runs great!) The screen is great, camera also, no weird issues AT ALL.
I only have 1 little thing bothering me and was wondering if it's possible to do anything about it without flashing a whole different ROM.
So here's my question :
Is it possible to completely remove the shortcuts at the bottom of the Recent Apps list? I don't mind rooting/unlocking BL but I'd prefer to stay on stock rom if possible for the time being (It's running 4.2.2, I want to update. I do plan on unlocking BL and hopefully root can be achieved through recovery if I'm correct?
So yeah all these wonderful questions I'm asking myself, the real question I'm here to ask is : Is it posible to completely remove the shortcuts at the bottom of the Recent Apps list? (Xposed, Framework edits) Any ideas?
One other, much less important question... What the heck is the Fifa 2014 logo doing on the box?
Any help is appreciated
Anyone?
It's the only thing that bugs me about the Sony UI that I don't know how to fix; the Notification toggles being the other thing I can fix (Xposed).

Bloat & Useless Junk removal.

Hey, so package disabler pro + works on the Note 9, I've tried it and disabled a few obvious apps that I don't want or need. Problem is there is sooo much junk, i just don't know what's safe to disable and what isn't in most cases......now there are XML files for disabling all the crap in bulk, only they're all for other devices, does anyone know of one that's been made for the note 9, or have the ability to make one?
I think it would be a big help to many, not just me, it's also one more reason not to need root, especially when rooting our devices is a *****, also, package disabler works on the Snapdragon versions too.
I'll play around a bit and disabled as much as possible, then post the XML if I can, if a few of us did the same, then someone could amalgamate them all into one quick and easy debloat script.
Obviously there will be apps some people want but others don't, the point will be to have an XML that will disable everything that is safe to disable, then after, you can go through and just re enable any apps you do use
Just an idea, if anyone wants to help then feel free.
Okay I've attached my list, I can in no way guarantee this won't make your phone explode haha, what I can say is that my phone seems fine with all these disabled (N960F/DS) It could potentially stop something working the way it should, but it certainly won't do anything that can't be undone with a few simple taps.
Hopefully someone gets some use from it, and even better if anyone can add to it.
This was a good thread why did you all remove it???
