Hi guys.
Sorry if this post is going to annoy some devs.
Lately I've frozen some annoying Samsung apps and services from my phone with the aid of titanium backup.
However, after freezing and a restart, I always want to confirm by going into SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS.
In there when I scroll down, I see the disabled apps but then when I open them, they still have an option for "FORCE CLOSE"
The question now is does this mean that they are still running in the background in some sort of way or something else.
I seem to be confused thinking freezing them will not only make their icons dissapear but stop them from ever running.
Thanks.

freezing will have disabled them, it's just Samsung not recognizing that, might be worth letting the titanium team know about this

Does anybody know what is Ieamingclient that always run at forground on x10 I have process manager task killer no matter how many times I kill it . It comes back .is it something important? If not so I could uninstall it with titanium backup. And what takes more memory foreground or background?
Try freezing it with titanium I usually do that before deleting, just to make sure it doesn't get wonky after deleting it. But I get that to with learning client as well never froze it I assumed it was important in some easy since it kept coming back assurer killing it.

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.

This is my first post. I have been contemplating freezing some apps through titanium backup. Ive notice that apps like pulse news and bloomberg run in the background when i never opened them in the first place. I would think that that's unnecessary strain on my battery and I want to freeze them. But if i freeze an app does that mean that I will need to unfreeze it in order to ever use it? If so how can i prevent an app from running in the background without completely disabling its use? My second question pertains to app permissions. A lot of the apps I download have permissions that seem a little too intrusive on my privacy. Is there a way I can store files so that no application has access to it? Again this is my first post. I did some research to see if these questions had been answered and I didnt see much. So thank you and pardon my ignorance.
The only way to effectively stop an app from running is to freeze it. And a frozen app cannot be run.
And yes the app constantly running does affect the battery. That's the main frustration with bloat. It'd be one thing if they just sat there, but they regularly run on their own. Most alternatives on the market to them don't run by themselves nearly as much.
By far the majority of permissions are not as bad as they sound. Contact the developer to see why the permissions are required. The reasons may surprise you.
What apps are you concerned about?

After searching for weeks, the only 'blacklisting apps' I can find are designed to blacklist certain numbers.
Is there currently an app where you can search your currently running processes, and add a selected process to a list that will not automatically start running unless manually overridden?
There are WAY too many apps that I rarely use but want to keep, or cannot remove, that keep popping up and slowing down my performance, and i want a way to manually clean up, and keep things tidy.
Thanks in advance for any input!
Anybody? I find it hard to believe that there is no way to do this with all of the experienced people on this platform... Im aware that you can FREEZE procceses and apps with Titanium Backup, but I'd rather not pay for that if i dont have to...

I've never used it, but I think that's what you want.
I use Bloat Freezer Free and find it excellent.
Should be easy enough to find on android market.

Above is the best answer - recently because I froze some system apps rather than uninstall them, it saved me from a reinstall - I froze S Voice, and 2 "Google Search" apps. After a restart my keyboard went mental - could'nt select the correct characters, example - pressing backspace just put loads of Z's on the screen. A quick defrost and restart cured the problem.
Only uninstall after a Freeze test is my recommendation.
Freeze them, so you will have fewer problems, if you need them later! (Reinstalling)
