After deleting flipboard, the S chat app and freezing the obviously not needed things in touch wiz launcher, it runs a billion times faster
What else can I freeze or completely remove without affecting android functionality, pop up play, multi window or the WiFi hotspot TW function?
Cheers.

Oops forgot how un informative his title is (kind of like missing function). For future reference though you can check the preview.
Anyways though is it either of the apps?

Hello,
Is there a way to disable, rather than remove, the built-in Samsung phonebook and calender?
Problem is, I installed the app called Contacts+ and Google Calender, and it's really annoying when you get notifications from the built-in apps plus the other two. I tried unsyncing my calender off Samsung's but it also go unsynced off Google Calender.. So yea, is it do-able in any way that doesn't require rooting?
Also, is there an app that can list processes and services in a tree view? or simply track processes/services to their original apps? I've noticed some processes and services on Task Killer that I wasn't familiar with.
Thanks
Questions? We have a questions section just for that! Isn't that convenient?
Oh, and it's "calendar" .
If I am not mistaken, you can disable it from the app manager.

I'd suggest Titanium Backup. You just want to freeze up those apps and unfreeze them when it's needed.

Yes, but there's not really much on xda that does not require rooting.

Re the tasks part - just ask the developer of that app.
Re the notifications- Can't you just go to the settings of the apps and turn off notifications?

Rule #1 is Search. You can find almost anything via Google with the tag of XDA at the end.

Now that we have some root access, I figured we could use this thread to report what apps we've successfully frozen/uninstalled, and using which app.
So far from using Rom Toolbox (Pro) I was able to freeze the following:
-Amazon
-Amazon Kindle
-Backup Assistant Plus
-My Verizon Mobile
-SEAndroid
-Setup Wizard
-Sync Service (backup assistant)
-Verizon Login
-Verizon Mobile Security
-Verizon Remote Diagnostics
-Verizon Tones
-Verizon Navigator
-Verizon Voicemail
-Voice Recorder
Uninstalled:
-NFL Mobile
-Audible
Cant find/figure out:
-Viewdini apk (no idea what this even is)
-VZW Mobile Hotspot apk
-Audible Re-installs itself.
Some of the apps were stubborn and needed to be frozen a couple of times for it to stick.
I have frozen via TitanBU:

He's serious.
You do know that the built in disable feature cannot disable every app, right? Hence one reason some of us root out phones.
Disabling app is the same thing as freezing if YOU watched the Google videos from there YouTube channel they explained it but Google is not gona use the stupid word (freeze) so they went for (disable) its exactly the same effect and does exactly the same thing nothing different at all !

DUH!!!! Freezing is the same as disabling. I'm sure we all know that here on XDA.
I'm not going to continue this discussion because you obviously are too ignorant to know better as to why we want to root our phones and freeze/disable apps.

I could be mistaken but i think when you don't root, there isn't ALWAYS an option to disable an app. I know on my wife's phone there are some apps she has to leave in the app drawer because when you go to disable it, the "disable" button is greyed out. You can't click it.
If you root, you can disable EVERY app, even the ones with the greyed out buttons.
But i'm sure if i'm wrong you will correct me with all caps and annoying exclamation points

If only you could disable every app... On the S3 and Note 2 there are several pre-installed Google, Samsung, and Verizon apps that can't be disabled or removed without the use of root.

he better not correct you since you're correct. lol. i just didnt want to argue with dumb.
Just to clarify, by freezing applications it doesn't remove them, it just stops them from taking up system resources?

Correct.
All i have to say is one thing and hope this guy can comprehend .... If root is pointless to "freeze/disable" apps and only for flashing roms... then explain to us how you can disable Verizon apps without root (like VZ Backup Assistant) cause without root, the disable button is gone or grayed out.
wow...came here to see what apps people had uninstalled (instead of just freezing them) and all i got was dumber!
so...to try to salvage this thread....
what apps have you uninstalled without issue?
thanks
I'm coming from the Galaxy Nexus where I enjoyed the native SIP application and the ability to make calls over WiFi, but now it seems that the carrier death grip on Samsung has forced them to remove the native feature from the phone. I found this thread on how to restore SIP functionality on the SGS2, but it's for 2.3.3+:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962
I'm guessing it doesn't work on 4.x Android, so I'm curious if anyone is familiar with a method to restore this stock android feature? I did find a "sip switch" app which lets you access the hidden SIP options, but unfortunately, upon making a call it says "Internet calls not supported".
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.siebeck.sipswitch&hl=en
To clarify, I'm not looking for applications which provide this, I do want to use the native android implementation.
Thanks!
I noticed this as well. I don't have an answer to your question, but I'd be interested in a solution too.

We might be out of luck until a ROM comes along with stock Android, if someone is kind enough to port it over.
Before I root my GS4....I'm a bit confused on how you actually backup your stuff in case you want to revert back to stock. I've read about using Titanium, but dont you use that after you've already rooted your device?
I just got my S4, never used android before and really want to give rooting a try....but not without knowing how to safely restore my device. Sorry for the noob question....I see plenty of info on rooting, but not restoring.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
You don't really have to worry about losing any data when you root. Just follow the instructions to root and then back up with Titanium Backup. It's probably my favorite app.

If you want to return to unrooted stock, go here. It will return you to factory software. Choose the One-Click version to make your life easier

Not slower. Imagine on a Windows computer administrator permissions. Rooting allows you administration access on your phone. Everything still works. No slow downs or any changes other than you can modify system apps
