My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Fit [S-5670] running on 2.2 Froyo
I removed a few of my system apps like the stock music player using Titanium Backup a few days ago,but I am unable to remove any system apps using TB anymore.
Whenever I try to remove a system app using TB,my phone turns OFF.
And,when I switch it ON ,a picture of android robot along with an exclamation sign is seen!!! and the phone switches OFF again.
If I turn it ON again,it starts up smoothly without any problem and the app I tried to remove will still be there...
I tried many versions of TB
I tried removing many different system apps,but ended up with the same problem
any suggestions?
Do NOT remove apps the system depend on. Install "Root App Remover", it works great.

what are you trying to remove?
I was trying to remove a live wallpaper that came with the phone called forest.
and ya I will try the ROOT APP REMOVER soon.
btw,I just heard that samsung just released gingerbread for my phone officially,so I will try that after the update
Thanks for the reply anyway

I have some apps that I don't want to remove from my Streak but I don't want them to start up on their own. Examples are Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Mail. There are others, too. I keep them on the Streak as backups (since I sometimes have problems connecting via IM+ or the regular e-mail app). Therefore I only want them to start up when I open them and stay closed after I have killed them. Is that possible?
I currently use Droid Wall to deny them data access when I don't want to use them but they still run in the background eating up memory and sucking the life out of my battery.
Dont know of anything other than a task killer. Can set the security to your desired level, and also to kill everything when the screen turns off, and also generate an ignore list which is essential for some apps like alarm clock....if you want to get up for work on time. They're a little controversial but I find a notable difference in battery life without it.

I have a task killer which I use manually. However, when I kill those apps they come right back up only seconds after that. Can't keep those buggers down. And with Auto Kill they are just constantly being killed again and again.
i used to use an app called "autostart(s)" which did the job really well plus it offers loads of options for apps starting at boot and permissions. titanium lets you freeze apps but you need to defrost them before using again.

Thanks for the suggestion -- I am currently trying out Autostart Kill which seems to work reasonably well, except that some apps are not found by the program (an example is Amazon MP3) and Dell Sync comes up after connecting via USB even though I set it to disabled.
By Titanium I suppose you mean Titanium Backup, but I cannot find a "freeze" (or similar) option, at least not in the free version I am using
Click the app in the list - you will have there freeze option.
It is available in the paid version only
Thanks for all the help, guys.
Finally located that Autostarts app in the market --- had to set market enabler to Verizon to find it. Trying it right now, and it seems to work pretty well.
I hope they're working for you?

Yes, but yesterday I had 3 mysterious auto reboots. Since I had just installed several apps I am not sure which one is the culprit. I have removed some of the others. Now I will have to see what happens today.
i tried autostarts but when the streak goes standby (black screen) it wont come alive anymore and i have to pull the battery out to reboot.... uninstalled

That is strange, works fine for me now. I am on the official 2.2 315 at the moment.
ok, i am on the DJ-Steve 1.4.6
startup manager works for me on "official" 2.2

Thank you! Autostarts is what I want~
Try system tuner
System tuner has free version in market. Will perform many functions including "freeze" and then you can "boil" app when it is needed. Also can set which apps run (or don't) at startup.
hey bro, u can use any autostart killer like autostarts (red car), or u can use autostart disabler inside romtoolbox
it work 100%
Got a question.
When you freeze apps, all you do is add '_fro' at the end of a file.
e.g. 'Gallery.apk' will become 'Gallery.apk_fro' when frozen.
My question is that when you freeze an app, does the system still load it? Or will my phone be faster if I totally remove the .apk?
Thanks!
Freezing will help your system because the frozen app will not launch, however it will still be present in your system which means it will still take the memory in the rom. So freezing apps is the first thing you need to do before deciding to completely remove or uninstall such app.
Cheers

ok, im on stock t-mobile galaxy s2. my stock music app keeps accessing my phone. ive never used it. there is no music on my phone. i notoced because my battery life started draining faster than usual. saw it was running, killed it. it keeps coming back. any ideas how to stop it from accessing the phone at all? thanks!
I froze it using titanium backup because of the same thing. (Must be rooted and only paid version can freeze) otherwise app called quarantine or something can do it for free.
I haven't bothered to look into why it runs because I use poweramp so I don't need it.
Actually there are plenty of apps that run without you wanting them to so freezing bloatware is worth it.

Another option is to download gemini app from market and configure the music apps auto run. If u disable it from auto running it wont open itself. Saves u from freezing and unfreezing if u want to use it some time.

After upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to Jelly Bean, now Play {Books, Magazines, Movies} , and Google Ears are system apps that are frozen in unsupported countries.
I defroze them using Titanium Backup, but noticed that upon rebooting the phone, they get re-frozen within a couple of minutes of the phone being up. Looks like there's a script that gets run as part of the boot process that does this.
Anyone has any idea how I can stop this from happening? I like having those Play apps in launcher folders, which I can't do if they disappear after each boot.
Thanks!

Looks like no one have a solution for this
Can someone confirm if Yakju 4.1 also has this phenomenon? If not maybe the next best solution is to flash from Takju to Yakju. If not all those books that I bought while I was in US will be gone to waste!
bump, i would like to know if there's a better solution for this too. currently i also use titaniumbackup to defrost apps...

It's actually a bit worse -- my applications would reset during the phone's uptime as well. I suspect it's some activities involving the Play Store that triggers the region check.
My workaround is to define a filter in Titanium Backup that only lists frozen apps; that way at least I can quickly get to the ones I need to unfreeze.
Hi All,
I have 2x Galaxy S3's, a work one and my own one, my personal one is rooted (to allow titanium backup to do it's thing), it also has ClockworkMod running on it. It's got the stock rom still.
I'm an android developer day to do, and now when developing my app, if I'm using my work phone and it crashes on the phone it says Your App has crashed, click okay to force close.
However, on my rooted phone it doesn't do that, it just crashes and I have to restart the phone just stays with the notification top bar still there and working (clock changes and can see wifi sending/receiving) . But i can't close the app, can't use the home button etc
Does anyone know the solution to this? It's quite infuriating at times.
youtube link + ?v=3mawem-refw here's a video of it happening
