Hi ya'll,
Just bought a Galaxy S II, was inspired by a colleague of mine who has the Galaxy S II.
He told me about rooting, flashing etc. So he told me to go to XDA.
Yesterday I almost read the whole forum over the SII. Rooted my device etc.
Now I have the Lightning ROM and the Launcher Pro and overclocked my device to 1504 Mhz.
So far so good. Really like the Forum already, there are a lot of simple checklists to follow so even noobs like me can have a start with customizing Android phones. =D
No I wanted to delete my Samsung Apps, but I read that some apps are needed for the device to run. So my question is. Is there some kind of list that tells me what apps I can delete and witch I can't without breaking my new SII.. xD
Apriciated the help. Thanks!
Joe, Koning.
EDIT: Sorry, already found it! For the one's who are new here too; It is in the apps forum direction..
So after reading the post what do you think - are you going to remove apps or just freeze them?

Removed over 50 apps.. xD
would you mind telling me if you removed "Social Hub"
I ask because I removed it, and have since been experiencing the following error whenever I try to read/reply to a text message;
"The application messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I am trying to figure out if removing Social Hub was the cause of this problem...
thanks
Check out the stickies under themes and apps, there is already a thread on applications safe to remove. With regards to social hub, I removed mine and it does not affect my messaging.

After hacking the phone to run webtop without the docks, I was just going about my phone and was curious about the "System updates" button and got this:
Social Networking account required
"com.android.setttings.deviceinfo.CheckUpdate" is not available without a social networking account. To create a new account, click "Setup" button
When I click the setup button, nothing happens. Did I mess up one of the files during the process of hacking my phone, because before attempting the webtop hack, when I still had root and adeo on, I did not get this message.
Account syncing: my facebook account will not sync with the contacts on my phone. The social networking app and widget is not running properly for the same reason as from the message given above ^^.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks
Did you use Titanium Backip to freeze apps. This is a symptom of freezing apps. To get this to work unfreeze all your apps and make sure the MotoBlur account is syncing.
I didn't use titanium backup to freeze any of the apps. I'm still kind of new to android and so I might need some guidance in more simpler terms
Did you create a blur account?
yes and it was already linked when I received my unit on the 21st
would it be reasonable to attempt a factory reset, even though I rooted it and installed ADEO?

What exactly does freezing do? I can't seem to find a answer on the net. Can one manually "defrost" a frozen app?

I think so, I'm pretty sure TiBu just adds a ".bak" to the application because when you freeze something it's still in your app drawer until you restart your phone vs when it's uninstalled its gone instantly. The benifit to freezing vs uninstalling is if you freeze the wrong thing or want it back it's still there, but if you uninstall it it's gone and you'd need to ask someone else for it or something.
anyone solved this error? I also got the error today
Is your phone deodexed? That could be the problem maybe.

So now that adeo does this how can i get upfates

Seems this is a common error among android users.

Rooted
For the last 2 days I have read and researched typical problems related to this error message;
"Sorry the application Message (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try agaain. Force Close"
I have tried any solution I've found, but am still unable to resolve the issue.
I can only attribute the problem to deleting a few bloatapps, namely Social Hub... as it seems everything went sideways after uninstalling.
Anyway, I have been thinking if I could reinstall Social Hub maybe that would work?
Other then that, I'm open to just about anything. I don't use apps much at all, I want minimal bloatcrap... but have performed a few hard resets in order to return to stock (minus Social Hub however!) only to create a folder to move all the Dross apps, as opposed to uninstalling anymore.
Well long winded, sorry, I have searched quite a bit, and tried many of the solutions provided... if anyone has any ideas, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks
So after starting fresh I was registering a hotmail account and have received another message;
"Sorry the application Email (process com.android.mail) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close"
This happened when I clicked on the "Email" app... I can't even open it, one click... few seconds later error message appears.
I know there are the "walk-thru's" of the hard reset, and resorting back to default... but can anyone explain how to get EVERYTHING back? The apps I uninstalled, are gone... how do I get them back?
Look through a ROM thread or two, they usually have separate downloads for the Samsung apps that they removed from the ROM for those who wish to retain Social Hub, et al. Get yourself up and running and selectively freeze items rather than delete them until you figure out exactly what you need/want.
thanks for the idea, I have actually gone a route along those lines.
I found this thread (androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2/419294-android-2-3-5-gingerbread-xxki3-update-samsung-galaxy-s2.html) on another board, it updates the phone to Android 2.3.5.
It has resolved all my issues (well so far) and to be honest things seems to look/work a little cleaner.
I'll keep your idea about "freezing" in mind now though as I don't think I will be uninstalling anything for a while. All extra apps are dropped into a Folder to keep them out of sight.
thanks
First of all, I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BILLIONS OF TIMES, SO BEFORE YOU REPLY WITH "Search the forums" READ THIS.
I have been looking for WEEKS trying to find an answer to this,and no answer given on any forums are what I am looking for.
I have an android phone (sidekick 4g) and there are apps that run in the background when not necessary. Now I know some stuff need to be aways running for the phone to function. But I also know that apps like Facebook, Market, Gmail, T-mobile's Media Store, MyYearBook, Maps, Aptoide, etc don't. When I force close them, they just start up a few seconds later. I've tried task killers and got the same result. I've read the "Why you shouldn't use a task killer" articles but everyone keeps saying different things about it so I'm confused.
Like many others, I want my battery to last at least half way through the day. The above mentioned apps (and some others) DRAIN THE BATTERY WHEN RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN I DON'T WANT THEM TO.
Please does anyone know of a way to fix this?
My phone is rooted, if that matters.
Also, "freezing" the apps don't help cause then I can't use them when I actually want to.
Thank you very much in advance anyone who can help me out!

Applications running, doesn't mean cpu cycles are being used. Sitting in memory is no different then a song sitting on your sdcard. Your issue with the battery has to do with processes using cpu cycles. If you have applications that update, force updates manually.
Just having apps in memory isn't your issue.
Use the features built into the os, find out what apps are causing the problem. Look at the settings. If you have looked at your settings, then you have one of three choices. Open bugreports with the application developers, don't install the apps causing problems, or upgrade your phone.

Thank you that makes sense.
I would think those apps would use battery because it pushes notifications for the app (like new messages and stuff). Does that not use battery?

It does use battery because to process the notification it needs to use the cpu. If you force applications to update manually. Your batter would be better. Check into battery saving tuts. All that information has already been discussed plenty. Won't change in this scenario either.
The more apps you have updating information the more data and notifications are being processed.

Also, I have another problem, if you know anything about this kinda stuff. The Facebook app icon just (like 10 minutes ago) disappeared from my home screen, and it's not in the app drawer either. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still having the problem. I can only open it by manually searching "facebook" in the google search widget and that's when it gives me the option to open the app. It's really bizzare and I have no idea what's going on.

Sounds like a issue with the rom or launcher. Try installing another launcher from the market and see if the application is installed. If its there with another launcher then its your stock launcher, if its not then its the rom.

I have been using my GT7510 for a couple months now and seem to find a new use for it a couple times a week. The more I learn, the more I recognize that I there is a lot of stuff that I don't yet understand. With that statement in mind, I am hopeful that someone can answer a few questions for me.
1 When I explore the apps that I have installed, some are labeled "system apps", some are not. What is the difference? Can I safely delete system apps? If so, how can I tell which apps can be safely deleted. For example, I have a WIFI-only Tab. Will the world come to an end if I get rid of apps that appear to be phone related?
2 Some apps, when viewed in SuperManager have a label that says they are "movable". What does that mean and is there any benefit to moving these apps. If so, where should they me moved? Why should they be kept where they are?
3 As most new users probably do, I have downloaded a bunch of apps, many of which duplicate the features of other apps. I would like to tidy things up a bit and remove redundant apps, especially those which are seldom used. I tried doing that today with the "Videos" app from Google. I have another video player that I prefer. When I attempted to remove this app, I was given the message saying that the app would be replaced with "the factory version". Does anyone know what this means? I did not remove this app. What would happen if I did?
I have a bunch more of these kinds of questions but maybe it is best to stop at this point and address the others in another post. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out.

System apps are the ones which we can't remove unless we have root access.
Deleting system apps should be done only if you know the exact use of that app.

Movable apps means the ones which can be moved to the SD card, so that the phone memory(internal) can be left free. This is useful when you have less internal memory(like phones). But in case of the Tab, we have more than 13 GB as internal memory. so this is not actually useful for us.

Videos from Google is a system app. You can't delete it unless you are rooted. Only thing you can do (if you are unrooted) is that you can uninstall the updates which got installed after you got the Tab. So only you are getting the message that it revert back to the factory version.

Hello, I am new to the forum so I apologize if this is not the correct place to post this. I am I need of desperate help with my Alcatel C1 (Android 4.2.2 Jellybean). Within the last few weeks A LOT of my apps seem to be crashing. Just some of the apps are: Text free Pinger, Dash clock Mini Notes. Inkpad, POP, and Clean Master. When they crash most of them will open for say about 60 seconds and then either exit the app entirely and take me back to the homescreen or sometimes they will just exit out of whatever I am doing inside the app and take me back to the apps main page.
This is extremely frustrating and have no idea of the cause. A lot of my apps DO NOT crash as well, such as UC Mini Browser, my email apps, file explorer, and showbox as well as others. Why are some of my apps crashing and some not?
I have a theory that it could be my launcher...I use Apex, the paid for version. Apex will crash everynow and then though not very often. But the reason I think its my launcher is because I downloaded the regular Apex launcher through the play store and then added the premium version of it through other means....
So what I'm saying is that the basic Apex launcher is official and downloaded off the play store, however, the paid for upgrade was not.
It still doesn't answer why I had zero problems for many months after downloading both Apex versions up until recently...
So, can anyone answer why some of my most used apps are crashing and could it possibly be problems with the launcher? Thank you in advance.
Oh, and also, my phone is rooted however I never did anything with my root access yet.
Someone please help ha...ANY advice or info at all would be GREATLY appreciated!
It very well could be do to your warez app. But as xda doesn't condone or advise the use of warez you will not find help here with it. My advise is remove all the warez and try again. Many apps are now programmed to look for things that allow warez and set. To cause random issues if detected.
warez?
Thank you so much for your response, however, what do you mean by "warez"...I'm sort of a noon when it comes to smart phones so please explain ha...do you mean the file i downloaded of Apex that wasn't "official"? Is that what the "warez" is?
Thanks again,

What I mean is "warez" is a paid app that one got for free from somewhere. The issue with this that most people don't take into account is that most of these paid apps when given for free are changed and malware, like keyloggers, screen recorders and data collectors are added to these apps.
