Not for Droid X2 but their is one thats pretty old floating around. If you have a custom rom theirs no need to freeze anything, except the occasional programs you don't like.

This post is for 2.3.3 stock rooted GB and as far as I can tell it's the last list that was put together.

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!

Big +1 to that. Also I should have stressed the importance of reading the post I recommended before doing anything and of course nand backup since you have to be rooted in the 1st place.

Wow, I just downloaded these two apps and am finally realizing the true power of my rooted X2. 6 months after ditching Blackberry for Android, I am starting to see some happiness with this device.
So with ROM Manager, I have now changed fonts, backed up apps and compared the freeze process (I prefer Titanium Backup) to what I am using. The big elephant in the room is the NANDROID backup. Any advice before I click this option? I don't want to get stuck in bootloop with no options on how to move forward.
Also, it looks like people are using the Liberty ROM that is available through this app...anyone have any screenshots? Thanks in advance.
You should stop while you are still ahead.
Better yet, you should not be using either of these apps.

DO not load Rom Manager on your phone
Do not load Liberty on your phone
These tools were not design for the X2 (maybe in the future)
Go into the general session of the x2 (start there)

absolutely. If u want to root and flash different roms just read some of the other threads. Just stay away from just about everything for the DX.
ROM manager installs clockworkmods. But known of them support the droid x2. So if you install them you will either brick or bootloop your droid
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Good to know...as I stated at the beginning of the post, all I have done so far is backup the apps and change the fonts and I changed the frequency in which the phone checks for WI-Fi networks. I was this close to having the battery symbol changed, but decided (after the warning) to hold off. I haven't uninstalled the app yet, is the phone volatile with the app installed or should I can I just leave it be in hopes that at some point the developer tweaks the program to work with the DX2?
You can leave it installed if you want to. You should install a app called system recovery for droid x2 it installs clockworkmod that does work on this phone. Then do a back up in case you mess something up you can recover.
Search developer forums for Droid x2 system recovery instructions to find the app and info

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?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
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.
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...

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.

Let me first say :glad to be back (3-4 years back had a nokia with symbian that with the help of this forum i did minor modifications to)on the forum and out of the clutches of apple(3-4 days ago traded iphone 4 32gb for LGOG)
Now first question: I've rooted my phone attempting to remove any and all bloatware, however I can't seem to remove it?
Second question: in regards to cases what's the differences between att and sprint LGOG's?
Third question: how do I sent picture messages? Seems like a dumb question but every time I try to do so the message says something like "picture too big ,compressing" now normally that's fine it compresses the picture I send and its good however when I get said message the text I had started to send to whomever is gone and I'm back at the message as if I never started it?
Fourth question: how do I send a multiple contact message?
Finally : since this was a multiple question post, I did search , did read, tried everything I could think of to avoid asking a repeated-a-million-times-question , sorry if I did and sorry if I put in wrong part of forum
Thank you sincerely

install titanium backup ROOT , delete any apps you do not want, really I just deleted most of the at&t stuff or stuff that requires you to purchase other things. one app that is worth its money is root explorer, sounds like you are new to android, one helpful tip to you is when you do buy these things in the play store you will always have it as long as you remember your google account, get a new device bam, still have the apps you purchased.

I phones seem simple because they don't have any of the customizations that android does. So, I guess iPhone is simple and not in a good way.
Also, "droid" is more commonly used to refer to the phone model by Motorola. We generally use the term android when speaking of the OS in broader terms. But more commonly we use the specific term for the version of Android or ROM that we're speaking of at the moment, Jelly Bean, AOSP, stock, for example. You'll get the hang of it. :thumbup:

Download the free Freegee App from the play store.
Run the app. Backup EFS. Click unlock Bootloader.
Boot into Fast Boot, then CWM or TWRP (depending what recovery you chose when using Freegee)
Make a backup.
Reboot phone and get an app called Titanium Backup (paid version has more options)
Using Titanium Backup you can uninstall bloatware or freeze them if you have the paid version (this is easiest and safest I believe)
OR you can use Root Explorer or a similar root file manager to manually delete each apk
Be careful what you delete. There is a post here listing what apps can safely be removed without messing up your phone.
Read twice, click once. Good luck

I would also have to say to the new guys...dont get all wound up on installing a new rom, trust me I have upgraded lots of roms from backflip,atrix,htc inspire but all those needed it. I have to say the original rom that comes on these LG's is pretty good, unless it doesnt do what you need it to I wouldnt worry about a new rom. root it so you can delete some of the bloat.
100% agreed. Amazing Rom for stock. I did the same thing and I'm loving it

I initially had luck rooting and using root explorer to remove the apk's in the system folder. However, a lot of the custom roms come with the bloatware stripped off by default. That might be a way to go as well.

Yes - well aware of this. I've been a flash-a-holic for way too long on my GNex.
I am enjoying the notion of staying stock on the G2 - at least for a while. After being a "Pure Google Experience" dude for so long, it's refreshing to see so many creative ideas that some of the LG apps offer.
I'll probably just "Disable" some of the more obnoxious apps via the stock App Mgr for now.
The stock ROM even allows us to hide apps in the drawer without disable. The flexibility LG built into the stock ROM is impressive.

Yea I disabled. After a few days I just went in with root Explorer and deleted all of the Amazon and Verizon stuff. No biggie.
The stock Rom is slick though. I've never been on a stock from this long in my life. It feels like AOKP but with a ton of extra features. I miss center clock, but it doesn't warrant losing all the other really cool features.
Actually the AOKP team is taking note and trying to port lots of stuff over to AOKP. So what's that tell you about the awesomeness of this phone?
