So I rooted my nexus 6 with nexus root toolkit and installed custom recovery (TWRP) and did a fresh install after (did restore any apps) I installed greenify and hibernated some apps like facebook, instagram etc and now I feel like the phone stutters and lags a little when exiting chrome or page in the app drawer. Before rooting I didn't have any of those issues. What could the problem be? I am on 5.1.1 latest update.
Thanks

It's got nothing to do with root. One of the apps you installed is hogging resources. Try uninstalling them, one at a time, until you find the culprit.
You're right mate. The culprit was greenify
Did you activate it in accessibility in settings and grant su I use greenify with no issues

Facebook is a crappy piece of software itself wich leans on the cpu heavily, its best to access FB with a browser and uninstall the app completely.
For facebook I have revoked all permissions in privacy guard and have it greenifyed and now it dosnt cause issues agreed it can be laggy

I'm having a hard time understanding you. If you don't want the apps running, root and remove/freeze them.
As LeJay said, root your device and remove the apps from /system/app/ or freeze (kind of disabling it) them with an app like Titanium Backup.
Also certain apps are required by the LG framework and can't be removed or frozen. They remain in memory and come back after you kill them. There are threads to be found about which app you can remove /freeze and which not.
Dear friends! I need your kind help in answering the question why in screen lock mode, SGN screen turns for a second and turns off. It is not really a big issue for me, but sometimes when the phone is on the table it annoys already.
I thank you very much for your support!
Yours Fernando
Some app like weather widgets have options to wake phone up for some activities. Check your installed apps for this kind of setting and clear.

Do you install any android apps which allow your note to be remotely controlled?

Thank you for responding! Actually no, I do not have any installed apps that remotely control the note. I thought about it, but guess there is no such apps.
Uninstall any suspicious apps you have installed ,or better yet root and install ad free ,air push ,and other ad checking apps on the market.
Then uninstall anything that gives you ads.
It happened yo me on my S2 before ,it's always an app that I installed keeping the phone from entering deep sleep thus causing battery drain.
Now adays I only install what I absolutely need.

Thanks! Will carefully check and uninstall suspicious apps now.
Ok guys, I hope this helps some if not all of you. This is a list , or pictures, of apps that i usually delete or freeze depending on the app. Applications that may be used in the future like "AT&T Software Update" might be wise to just freeze. Applications like "Beats", unless you use them, I would delete them. If you are unsure of what applications to delete or freeze, it is safer to just freeze the application, as this leaves the application installed on your phone but it is no longer running in the background. When looking at the pictures, the pictures with items with a line accross, this are apps I uninstalled, the other ones are frozen. that are Many applications in the Google Playstore allow you to freeze or delete system apps, but I find Titanium Backup Pro to be more direct and easier to use.
DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility if you brake your phone, or find your balls after debloating the $#it out of your Galaxy S5.
List:
Safe to Freeze:
AT&T Hot Spots
AT&T Software Update
BlurbCheckout

Have you tried freezing S-Voice? That app is single handedly keeping me from buying an S5. I hate S-Voice with a passion and every time I get a Samsung phone, I put so much time and effort into disabling it, but it never goes completely away.
I deleted s voice
I was thinking a list would be better because when you delete certain apps they change the name

You didn't have to wait for root to disable S-Voice, was possible right out of the box to disable it.
this is weird, I just rooted my s5 using towelroot and installed chainfire's SU then installed TiBu pro with no problem but when I tried deleting some at&t bloatware like at&t navigator.. it keeps giving this "cannot delete system app, unable to locate apk file"..anyone encountered this?
Is there another app that can freeze the AT&T OTA? I have app freeze and app quarantine and it doesn't give me the option to freeze it.
I don't have TiBu pro yet, maybe I'll buy it next month. Are there any temporary solutions to stop with the OTA?

Force stopping the service and renaming the APK in the /system folder should work (e.g. 'softwareupdater.apk.dontrun'). I don't know what the file name of the updater is though, so you will have to do some research.
freeze/delete
i have deleted all apps on the delete list and my phone is booting faster, and i have no issues and i have turned off some of the apps too since i dont have the paid version of titanium backup. all is fine.
Im pretty sure deleting system apps ruins your chance of getting an OTA update in the future, should you choose to want one eventually. I wouldnt delete any system apps. Freezing is fine.

but at&t navigator isnt a system app, I just dont understand why TiBu sees this as a system app and cannot locate the apk. I have turned off this app including other bloatware even before we achieved root but I want to completely remove them

this is my first android smartphone and only my second smartphone (first being iphone 3gs). I was wondering if someone knew what the apk name and location was so that I could at least for the moment rename the updater services so I don't have to worry about getting an update. I know most people talk about titanium backup and some other paid apps but currently I don't have the money to go that route.
I am still learning this and I tried to search to see if someone had any good alternatives to TiBu but I didn't find any results. I saw some things on the Verizon section but none of those files they mentioned were on the AT&T phones (and I was hesitant to assume they would share the same updater service).

This can be disabled using the normal Android app manager. TiBu can't find the apk because the app isn't technically installed on your phone, yet. If you tried launching the app, it takes you to the google play store to download and install.

No, because you can just factory reset and have it back.
be careful please do not tick ultra power saving mode after rooting and removing some apps, it has not been tracked to exactly what is causing it but it is happening to a few of us.
I removed the standard AT&T ****, isis wallet, the google crap i dont use and a few others with titanium, tested it out for a few hours worked great, had apex installed as the default launcher,
CLICKED ultra power saving mode to test it.. POW on reboot phone loads to only a black and white AT&T logo and it is dead there..
Even if you go into recovery mode and factory reset, the phone will now boot, but after unlock its dead no background and just a black screen the pull down up top works and to get into settings and the lock screen works and that is it....
going to download the 900A zip and try a total reset via odin... I'll keep you updated..
Pure edition doesn't really have any bloatware. Exposed doesn't work with lollipop. So what do those of you who have rooted do with root?

Use apps such as Greenify, Adaway, SETCPU, and wakelock detector.
I use root to auto hide the soft keys (wish I could make them semi-transparent instead) and to change the emojis to iOS emojis
As a developper i use root the access apps databases.
Very useful to see if the data are wrong, or the way to fetch it.

Rooting and ROMing are two different things. You don't need root to flash a ROM, just an unlocked bootloader. That said, we probably won't see many ROMs at all for the X, if any.
But agreed on Greenify and adblockers, but also Titanium Backup, Autostarts, Root Explorer, and others that escape me right now.
Edit: Forgot the biggest reason of them all- CF.Lumen! Use it to adjust the color temperature to fix the godawful yellowish whites that plague the X's screen. I'm using it on KitKat but I'd imagine it would be even more beneficial to use on Lollipop because of all the white. Seriously, it's the greatest app ever (for the X) and makes a MASSIVE difference.

Thank you!
I root basically because of Titanium Backup, gives full control of what shows in my app drawer (I like having it as clean as possible). Some of the Google apps I don't use like Newstand, Books and Movies can't be disabled, so they keep showing in the app drawer and with TB I can freeze them. Also root for the file manager app X-Plore, which gives full access to the root directory.
I have a rooted Me176cx running version .198, and have frozen a ton of bloatware, but now I cannot install sideloaded apk files. It's like the "install" button won't respond when I tap it. Is there a specific software that won't allow apps to be installed that I may have frozen---there are too many to list, or to unfreeze one by one. Just curious if you guys knew which one to unfreeze.
thanks
Edit: Nevermind - I did some more digging, and found out that the Blue Light filter app I was using was interfering with the touch response. Very strange. Anyway, I disabled that app, and was successfully able to install the 3rd party software.
Freezing....
PunderCat.... How do you find the performance after freezing the bloatware? and are there any apps that you know that I shouldn't freeze?
Cheers
