[Q] Quick Question about Freezing - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i seen the freezing list post and i was wondering can i delete those freezing apps ? because i delete the whole list and it still worked but when i deleted blur.res it gave me force closes on everything . so i just wanted to know should i just freeze them ? &* may someone tell me are they gonna stay frozen ? or they come back on each reboot ? Thanks

you should freeze them. they stay frozen. normally what happens is the .apk gets renamed to app.apk_fro so that the system can no longer use the app and it is gone untill you rename it (defrost)

How to really pump up performance

I've been using the mini running 2.1 for about 2 weeks now. At the start I noticed considerable lag while sync or while heavy multi tasking. This simple way made my phone give a quadrant score of 570 without JIT.
* Install titanium backup
* Freeze every unused applications
* restart
Your so called lag will definitely vanish.
Removing apps is kinda bad to the file system because some apps will depend on the other for a service. Freezing just makes the app unresponsive and takes it out of memory completely.
Have fun. Post the result. Those who have already removed apps , ignore !

Thanks. Works really well. Only problem is still my lag in my msg app. Do you know which system processes we can freeze?

I read you have +7000 messages... i dont think you can reduce lag with that... you will need to delete
How can you freeze your unused AppS? I can not do that.
Whew almost repaired again, me and my stupid impulses..
Just to clarify, the apps that I would most likely freeze would be the same as those listed as safe to remove on the other threads?
I haven't really removed applications from my ROM, as my TB doesn't show me an option to restore an app once its been removed [though it has a backup]
Hence my 4th, most recent, repair >_<
warning i did this earlier and froze something that stopped the market from working, i unfroze everything and now i still get force close when i open the market
Specifically which apps did you freeze?
Can't remember but i know i did some google ones, i didnt think freezing them could mess up my phone
did you reboot the phone after unfreezing.
Yes many times, I have removed a few apps before I tried this maybe freezing them caused some kind of error?

I also get random system restarts on mine. I don't know what's the cause because it's intermittent.
I can not launch market, neither sync my Google acount. I have unfrozen everyapp, but no solution. Please help!!!!
i had the same problem! google apps stop working after being frozen and still dont work after being defrosted the only way i found to fix it was reinstall the firmware

You may have froze something that wasn't bloatware, check again just to be sure.
Don't freeze more than a couple apps at a time, then use the phone as you normally would & see if everything works. That way if something goes wrong, it's much easier to figure out which is the essential app

ok got things working again, now i cant make or receive calls...this has sumthing to do with the LTE SWITCH
Click to expand...

the lte switch has nothing to do with phone calls since calls arent made over data. my advice? switch to a rom that is already debloated. save yourself the trouble
Can you list the apps you froze here?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
If you are still having connection problems
1. Unfreeze everything
2. Reboot
3. Turn on airplane mode
4. Turn off airplane mode

Unfreeze half the apps you froze, see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, freeze them again and unfreeze the other half.
Keep freezing half at a time, switching to the other half when you cause the problem again and you will very quickly identify which app is causing your issue when frozen.
If you start with 32 apps that you frozen and you freeze the wrong half every time following this process, you will track down the problem in just 10 steps.
Focus on one issue at at time, ie X either works or it doesn't.
If you have more than one issue just repeat the same procedure. You could try and track more than one issue at a time, but that makes a very simple process more complex.
Here is a list of confirmed bloatware that is safe to freeze/remove, just in case: http://forum.androidcentral.com/thu...afe-remove-once-rooted-how-put-them-back.html
Basically do not remove VZW Backup and Friend Stream

Did you do a backup before freezing any apps? If so, load the backup and start again by freezing a few at a time. Or you could just unfreeze all the apps you froze.
When I first rooted my phone I actually moved the apps off my phone onto my sdcard and renamed them. Now I'm running a custom rom and that is working great.

[solved ] Force close wont stop!!! Help

I was in titanium trying to freeze the stock messaging so i could use handcent without getting a double notification that i have a message. I accidentally froze the wrong sms and froze the dialer. The phone wont stop giving me the sorry message and wanting me to either force close or report. It doesnt matter wich one i do cause it keeps doing it over and over again. The droid x is my normal phone but my mic went out yesterday. I am using a 1st gen droid. Is there any way that i can get it to stop? I dont know this phone so i dont know what buttons to push on start up to flash into recovery either. Please someone HELP me!
I had something similar happen to me once, I was using Go Launcher and I froze.it's widget and was stuck in am FC loop, by quick reflexes I was able to open the app drawer and unfreeze. Other than some mariacle try to find out it you can uninstal an app via adb or Droid Explorer.

[Q] My Apk's keep dissappearing

hi guys,
have a strange problem, don't know if somebody face the same thing, each time i m restarting my SXS i find that i m losing at least 2 apks, its simply disappear from home screen and when i go to settings/applications i find its there but with blank icon and not working....
any ideas ?
Yes is happening on my Phone to i reboot again and the apps Comes Back.
Don't use the Phone during the mediascanning
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Yeah, I got the same issue. F***** annoying. Restart my phone and apps is gone, only a black and white paper icon on them and their process name.
Was not during mediascanning.
That's because you use a version anterior at the system apk
EG:gmail for timescape hehe
The system is 2.3.5
If you install 2.3 over it for work with gmail plugin timescape
When restart the phone it automatically delete wrong version
Even with a game that you buy on your old phone and want to run it on the S
EG:need for speed shift,you transfer
.data on the S then install the apk
And nooo license invalid and after boot the .data is auto delete (sound,files,ect..140M
This phone have security like a bank
Don't forget this :-D
Ciao
the same for me - sometimes apps come back after reboot sometimes disappear... not nice Sony
yep same here, i got that problem too... often use titanium backup for restoring
I've lost Browser and Conversations twice for now. Got them back with Root Explorer.
I am having the same issue. Randomly, 2 apps will disappear from the app tray. its annoying as i have to go back to the market to install them back. has anybody found any solution?
Same problem for me. My solution is I moved all apps internal memory. Now I have no problem.
Omfg...I lost opera, NFS shift, implus pro!!!
I'm not rooted yet, so if I reinstall app I'll lose data!!!
Disgusting!
Why does this happen?

For need for speed,if you not backed up data that on sd somewhere,
I think it be erased in external/.data
In my case yes,
i not find solution for.
Only buy the game again for this phone!
And redownload it :-(
For apk disappear at boot
I go in app setting and clear data,
It give an error
But now,
no problem at every boot for me
Always here ;-)
As previously mentioned, it is definitely a bug related to the installation on the "sdcard partition" of the internal memory, one way to fix it is to move all yours apps to the "internal memory" from the application manager.
Also the apps usually come back after a reboot or if you unmount/remount the partition.

Is My Atrix SLOWLY Bricking??

about a month ago this happend to me:
out of the blue everything on my phone started FC repeatedly (whatsapp, camera, Luancher Pro, phone, etc..) so pulled out the battery and it then it didnt want to boot up so i tried a fresh install from recovery but.. recovery was crashing as well and i had to pull out the battery every time. finally afer playing a speed game with the phone i got to re install (i wiped user chache/data /dalvik ) and the problem was gone ...
these recent days some apps started FC on me but i thought i was somewhat common .. mainly Mi file explorer .. so right now my phone started to do the same thing again.. FC everything! The main one crashing is = the process com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly. i have no signal now and cant open anything.. if i pull out battery I know it wont boot up and may not let me use recovery without a hassle!
i dont know if this has to do with but when i install a rom ( i had topsmarts 1.3) i use root uninstaller to uninstall lots things i dont want like: weather and news, terminal emulater, dev tools, es explorer..
what is can be causing this problem and what can i do to fix it??? it looks like i wont be using it today because its as good as a brick right now.
edit before OP: i selected reboot and as expected its looping at the Unlocked screen:crying:

It's not a living thing or a machine with mechanics that suddenly doesn't work because of a misconception. If it was a misconception it would not work at all. If you solved it by reflashing, then it's a software issue and it won't happen again if your CWM image is not broken. But just to make sure I would reflash CWM to make sure it doesn't cause any trouble.
and be careful with removing system apps

I believe it was you removing system apps which caused your problems. You should always freeze system apps instead of uninstalling/removing them. That way if your phone starts to act up you can thaw/unfreeze them until you figure out which one is causing the issue.

Exactly. Removing system apps can result in accidental removal of base code and intrinsic system processes that are required for your ROM to function properly. These apps can probably be disabled and hidden instead of removing them altogether.

A logcat would help tremendously here. Would show exactly why things are FCing.
sorry i dont know how to do a logcat .. but the things i remove are:
es file explorer
news and weather
gtalk
terminal emulator
theme chooser
voice dailer

You really have to freeze apps one by one if you are unsure of what you are doing. On stock Blur build for example, Yahoo Authenticator can cause FC issues with your contacts if you freeze or delete it. You wouldn't think this would affect your contacts, but it does.
