Believe or not, I have managed to root my phone. It is a big success for a dummy!
I have downloaded Root Uninstaler form Market and would like to get rid of some junk apps. Junk for me because I don't need them.
I SWEAR I have SEARHED, but some poeple had problems after uninstalling and some not and I am CONFUSED. So please help me, this is way out of my league and I can't screw it up.
I also don't have access to a pc where pc companion, super one click etc work, I had to BEG a friend and I don't want to do that again so I can't simply reinstal software everytime I mess something up.
So please, let me know if I can remove
-Timescape stuff without loss of funcionality to sms, contacts, calls ( I just hate Twitter and Facebook)
-Talk (it is Gmail talk right?) without losing Market
-Backup and restore- the default one-I hate it because it keeps running on its own, even though I did not set it too.
-Default input? This keeps running too
-Device monitor
-Uwlop service
-default music player
I obviously can't delete Messagin if I want sms to work? But it kees running too even if I dont get any sms etc.
And come to think of it, I don't really need gmail either.
Please, someone with knowledge, reply. I have searched but I can't find my way arounf here well and i am really confused.
Yes, i use systemapp uninstaller from the market. there are some more of the sys apps which can be removed, such as play now too.
-Timescape stuff without loss of funcionality to sms, contacts, calls ( I just hate Twitter and Facebook) YES

Check X10 mini wiki page. It has a list of applications you can safely remove. Of course it is always better to have backups before removing system apps.
To uninstall timecape for example there are several things you need to uninstall: timescape provider, timescape plugin, timescape, sns provider and sns cache provider.
I your place i wouldn't mess with default input as changing keyboards might b above your level at this moment. Perhaps later when you feel more comfortable.
Thanks sofar you guy, your info helped a bit.
At the wiki page some things are not metioned.
Including backup and restore and everything to do with sync.
semchekin servce?
I think backup and restore can be deleted, but i'd leave semccheckin and anything to do with syncing.
Ok thanks.
So far I haven't wrecked anything.
Now this just leaves default SMS application. What if I uninstall this?
If you use handcent, i think you can delete stock messaging.
If you use go sms, then you have to keep stock messaging app, because go sms uses some stock messaging functions.
You can delete default music player if you have a replacement, but most music players will start running on their own.
I use Handcent. Thank you, you have been of great help.
Be carefull!
I'm pretty sure deleteing default sms app made me lose delivery reports in Hnadcent sms and removing Talk made me lose ability to download in Market
I'm using AntTek App Manager to freeze some unneccesary bloatware apps that use cpu/batt in the background and I've noticed that the native Email app works even with com.seven.z7 frozen (real filename is SevenEngine.apk, app is labelled as Social Hub, but the actual Social Hub app is com.sec.android.socialhub).
Why is this? I thought the email app uses the z7 service for push emails, is the app manager not freezing apps correctly or is this service used for something else? I basically want to know if I can leave this frozen without adversely affecting my emails
bump, can anyone help?
Hi
i have a rooted android 4.0.4,LG Nitro HD
i installed too many apps in my phone
my problem is the programs and tasks which run in my RAM
for example i dont want yahoo gmail facebook apps run in my memory and check my notifications automatically when internet is available
it seems good but i dont want it happen
i just want to have these apps and run them whenever i need them
i tried to force close applications , but when i reset the phone all apps will run again
some application like google+ or youtube dont close at all
How can i manage my memory and apps in my favor ?
maybe go to settings, accounts and sync, and make sure that these apps aren't on auto-sync?
If as you say you have too many apps your best option is to uninstall those apps that you don't absolutely need.
It sounds like you're asking for two things: you don't want those apps to automatically sync and you don't want those apps to automatically start up. For syncing turn off the auto sync settings for those apps so that they will only update manually. Then use an app like Autostarts, SystemCleanup, or Gemini App Manager to stop those apps from automatically starting (on boot, after a change in your connectivity, etc.). If that doesn't work you could try freezing the app then unfreezing them as needed. You can use an app like App Quarantine to create widgets to freeze/unfreeze a particular app with one click.
Doing this will only get you so far. Like I said before you'll get the best results by getting rid of all unnecessary apps.
I decided to turn on the experimental features in Greenify in my nexus 5 with 4.4.4 and xposed. It shows one of my apps (sol Calendar) is guilty of hidden sync.
My question is, now that I know, what can I do about it other than uninstall the app? I do have a firewall which prevents this app from reaching the Internet and I have xprivacy installed. Are these enough to stop a hidden sync?
Thanks.
I have an HTC 10 and some apps came pre-installed as system apps, like Facebook, Instagram and others... I have Greenify donation package and I also use the Xposed module.
I have enabled the option to greenify system apps and I'd tried to hibernate Facebook. It somewhat works, the app is hibernated successfully. But when I open it, it doesn't seem to wake up completely. I mean, sometimes the feed is not updated, I swipe to the notifications pane and pull-to-refresh but I get an error "Can't connect at the moment", I try to open an external link that someone posted but I also get the "Can't connect at the moment" error message.
At first I wasn't aware of what was causing this but I then remembered checking Greenify and I stopped auto-hibernating Facebook. Now, every time I open the app, everything is working. Which makes me think that the problem is within Greenify.
I don't know if the real cause is because Facebook is a system app on my phone or for some reason Greenify can0t properly handle hibernation on the Facebook app.
Can anyone advise?
