So, just thought I'd spread the word to my X2 family, Bloat Freezer is back in the market! Aaaaaand, it's free (with ads). I know, I know, a lot of you guys are die hard Titanium Backup fans, but a lot of us really enjoy the simplicity and efficiency of BF. I'm sure I'm not the only person happy to have the option back, plus I feel that the addition of a free version will (hopefully) lead to more people buying the paid version. So, um, yeah...check it out...
Heard good things about, was too late to try it though so went with TB, I'll give it a try though! Thanks!!

Just make sure u get the one from trey holland. And not the one where dev name is "bloat freezer" trey thinks it might be a dangerous scam.(it has BF as its icon)
The real one is free right now.
I am so happy this is back. I was follow bloat freezer on twitter and was so happy to see its return.
U can also download it free from bloatfreezer.com if u want to be certain u r getting the REAL bloat freeze

I have heard titanium doesn't completely freeze some apps. Bloat Freezer is like sticking the app in liquid nitrogen imho.
Have used it forever and it works freaking awesome.
Plus trey said that batch freezing is coming in a future update. Right now u can only defrost all or one at once or freeze one at time. Can't wait for batch freezing. Make it a lot quicker.
People still freeze things?

^EDIT: I still do. Sure, I've deleted some stuff (like the stock browser), but I actually prefer to freeze stuff. It's just super easy.
Yeah, ash, I went to (re)install it and saw the knockoff version. I also follow them on twitter, which is how I found out they were back up.

I freeze things that I use but dont use often enough to want it running in background constantly. Like google maps. I can just defrost it when needed and then refreeze it
I remove the stuff I never use tho.

After installed this application from my phone was deleted adfree and adaway. And my /etc/hosts was replaced by:

Could be that maybe he didn't know that is what would happen exactly.
Do u have the original apks that u can go thru its contents and see if it was deliberately done or not? I would check but I just deleted the original by accident that I had downloaded from bloatfreezer.com
edit. Bloatfreezer.com download is 2.05 which I believe still had that problem. Im looking through it now and so far don't see anything that looks like deliberately editing hosts files.

Nope...if you start flashing roms and playing with this kinda stuff get used to factory resets...not trying to put you off but when you start getting into roms ect..the benefits outweigh having to redo your phone. Its a pain and it always seems like once you have your phone just the way you want it a new rom or something comes out. Just do a nandroid backup in recovery that way if you don't like it you can revert back to the way your phone was setup the way you had it. That way you always have a backup.
Try titanium backup. It'll let you backup your settings before you wrote your phone.

Well there's very few things that im worried about losing but my calender (pure grid calender) is one that I don't wanna lose.....I emailed the dev and asked if there was a way to back it up so im waiting for an email back on that.....I have my apps backed up via titanium backup free and sticky notes I can just write down or something.....I ran minimal x immediately when it came out so I have some experience with Rom's but no where near calling myself a pro.....so with eclipse will I flash it the same way as I did with MinX?

no, pure grid, if you will remember, asks you on setup which calendar you want to use. By default, its set to the google one. SO, you set your phone up and the calendar syncs.. then you install pure grid again and it grabs the already synched google calendar.. thats all google.

Apps and data across updates to these rom has always been fine. Going across versions (froyo/gb etc) has been known to causes issues, as well as settings. The settings issue is widely accepted as a way to introduce bugs. You'd know this if you'd been flashing roms for longer than a few weeks.

I don't want to start a whole thing here...yes titanium is a great program but i have run into problems with it not restoring properly and causing some problems. I always prefer to just do a fresh install if im backed into a corner, but Titanium works great but i ran into some issues with it not restoring settings/accounts causing FC and ghost email accounts that could not be removed. Maybe its just me i used it a couple of times and it worked but it just didn't seem like a clean restore for some reason. Again just giving opinion here not trying to start anything...**Opinion Only**

Nandroid is seriously best thing u could EVER do before flashing or at any point for that matter. If there is ever a point where u say damn I really like how my phone is righteous now. Wish I could get back here if something ever messes up. Then just go into recovery using system recovery app and make ur nandroid. I keep em on external sd card cuz there's more space for plenty of em. And then I use root explorer and rename or add on something to the name of the backup so I don't forget which one it is when im restoring it. When u male a nandroid it automatically puts the date and time of creation as the file name.
Trust me. Nandroid will save your butt on occasion if u flash ANYTHING. Its awesome to just press restore and presto your right back where u were.
Not a TB fan here... just a personal preferences...
Best way I've found to get back up quickly is... having the rom auto download your apps and when its done, go into recovery and do an advanced restore. Then choose data only. That's assuming you made a backup of course.

Would it be too much to ask for someone to walk me thru flashing this?

Check the stickies.. theres instructions for flashing stuff... also, just so you know, the Eclipse ROM is not one of the ROMs that auto downloads your apps. You will need to do that yourself then do the data resotre.. if you are going that route. If you are using TB, you can restore it all but.. I dont use it so I have no clue how to do that.

Any previous data I'm assuming? No. Fully stock like it came out of the box.
That isn't fully true, you still have to do a system/data wipe. And some of your info backed up on your SD card will reappear. But as far as apps, etc, etc.. you will have to go through the hellatious setup process, unless you have it all backed up.
Well what about being root?
would that still show evidence of the exploit that is being ran?

Nope, SBF kills root. Trying to send it in on insurance/warranty?
You are gonna want to data wipe and "clean up" internal storage just to be safe on clearing root evidence ...haven't heard of any 300dollar charges for previous rooted phones being sent in.
Sbf overwrites some /system partition. Im sure there may be some way to find out if u ever have rooted but it PROLLY isn't worth the time/process it takes to find those traces.

Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
No problem!
Even a data wipe doesn't clear everything I've noticed. If you truly want to remove evidence you need to manually delete all the rom zips and bootstrap apk, and any nandroid backups. I mean, they can't prove you ran them but if your serious about removing evidence. Furthermore, I've heard from a true tech geek friend (I will see if I can find a link to back up) Verizon can send a push to your phone and depending on how your phone reacts, they can tell if it is rooted.

It's called an su command. My work does it when you connect to their network.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I saw something about that before. Heck. Google doesn't let u watch market movies if ur rooted. ((Btw that altered google videos all DOES work...it changes the su check command)
Im sure one day there will be a lawsuit similar to the one against apple about jailbreaking that users that root will WIN based on the precedent set in that case.
Not to mention the phone is supposed to be "open source" anyways. It is just like a car, while it is under warranty only the dealer is supposed to put on OEM upgrade equipment otherwise it is voided, which is part of the reason you carry insurance. And we BUY our phones, not rent/lease them.
About that su command push. I can't for the life of me think of what it is called, but I am pretty sure that is against the law. Not for your work when you join it's network since I assume they are verifying your identity, or the PC, but for them to randomly check if you are rooted.

There are better ways, use Titanium Backup, or Bloat Freezer.
As a tip, you might want to do the common bloat first, then try freezing one by one of others. You didn't list what your daily life needs, so the list Kenjesse provided might take all that you use, or a couple things you use on a daily basis.
I personally would do app one by one, if you are unsure, disabling one might take others and disable them also.
Sooooo go one by one, and see what you gain and what you lose.
Good luck!

Hey all,
There's been quite a few reports of people getting duplicate SMSes in the ViperDNA ROM thread. I think I have, unfortunately, found the cause. The other day, I got a SMS from someone not on my contact list/nor anyone I recognized at all. It was like spam email, but from SMS with a link to some site to boot. I brushed it off and just deleted the message. I was reading Android Police's new article on Android anti-virus apps. I was surprised to see my $15 Kaspersky app doing so poorly, so I uninstalled it and installed the #1 rated TrustGo. I did a scan and it found a "High Risk" threat in HTCMode. I followed the link provided by the app and, sure enough, Google has acknowledged the vulnerablility.
This vulnerability is being kept very close to Google's chest, so you don't find much about it doing a search for it. It certainly isn't getting a whole lot of press, but it's gotten some.
I tried to delete the app via TrustGo, but it failed. So went into Titanium Backup and froze the app and then was able to uninstall it. I've rebooted a couple times since uninstall and there doesn't seem to be any repercussions from getting rid of it. I highly recommend you do the same.
Just a heads-up. Protect your shiny DNA and your personal info/data,

Perhaps HTC has nothing to do with this software and (as if they care) the developers are trademark infringing when they use it in the app. They merely use the HTC name to legitimize their software and make you think it should be on your phone (some Sense software.) I'm sure on the S3 it's called SamsungMode or TouchMode and tries to make it look like it's part of TouchWiz.
If HTC did create this software, then the SMiShers have just found a way to exploit a vulnerability in the software as they did with other brands. As the video and write-up details, this is not HTC-specific; but Android-wide.

Kinda sorta... cant hurt to do that
I have compiled 82 system apps that I have frozen via titanium backup pro, I have risked a lot with my 600$ device and guinea pigged myself as a test subject ,for the greater cause .Of course I do have plenty nandroid backups if anything were to have gone wrong .As of now there are no know issues, force closes, etc....force closes are common when u freeze the wrong app, just for future reference !Also some force closes render the phone helpless unless you do a battery pull..in which the HTC one dorsnt have a battery to pull.
So as far as my compiled list is concerned it Is safe for everyone to use.
Everything works as should. You can choose to safely freeze whichever of the 82 apps/apks you prefer to. Feel free to add any apps you have also tested to be safe to freeze .
This greatly helps reduce lag , free up ram and and may even provide better battery life ,due to android os that sometimes has many system apps... that we don't know what they do exactly but many greatly affect our battery life because they unnecessarily run in the background and drain batter and the majority of them we never use .
This is the list freeze as many or as little as you desire to.
Every one check marked indicates it's safe to freeze .
NOTE: DO NOT DELETE/REMOVE ANY OF THESE APPS IN TITANIUM BACKUP UNLESS YOU POSITIVELY HAVE A NANDROID BACKUP IN cwm or twrp RECOVERY.I AM ONLY PROVIDING INFO ON "FREEZING APPS" "NOT DELETING".
I WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR FEEL OBLIGATED TOO...FOR THE LACK OF FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS POSTED .
Please leave feedback with your observations towards any improvements or issues if any that you may experience.
Mod plz delete
Well, this list is very subjective. Alot of what you froze alot of people actually use. Like street view...document viewer...the remote app...among others. From looking at what you diabled it seems all you want to do is make calls and text lol.
THIS IS ABOUT WHAT CAN BE FROZEN WITHOUT ANY SYSTEM ISSUES OR FORCE CLOSES .
If you want to unappreciated that's fine too.
Obviously I have takin the freezing to an extreme,it's called freezing as many apps as possible that DONT AFFECT SYSTEM FUNCTION IN A NEGATIVE MANOR.There are many I'm sure who don't use these apps and would find It fine to do so ....and only care about speeding up there device ...I have done no wrong ..infact if anything I've answered possible questions in the future on if them apps can be frozen ....maybe there are people who would want the most possible options .So it is up to whomever to pick and choose what they want to freeze from the list.All I have done was made It clear that if they want to take it to the extreme ,all these system apps and apks are safe to freeze with no issues .

A Mod is going to move this to Gen because it is not Development just Gen info. Now if you had a Rom that had these files removed that would be different.

You think you quoted the wrong post
Exactly what I was looking for, one of the first things I do when I got my phone. I can confirm this is a good list
