What app is best to freeze apps with ? Thanks
I use Antek app root manager but I guess everyone will tell you to go with Titanium backup.
I like bloat freezer it works nice
Can you just delete them? Instead of freezeing them?

It is possible to delete them from what i understand... but from what else i understand, if you delete them, you'll need to put them back if you intend on doing any of the OTA updates in the future. So... yea.... po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
titanium backup....
the best bang for your buck on any android device
I use titanium backup and just delete them if for some reason you need them back just reflash a rom.

Titanium backup all the way!

I used to use titanium backup pro up until about a week ago. Then I found Antek which does what I need it to do, all I ever really used titanium backup for,which is freeze bloatware. Never really used it to back up much stuff cause unlike most people I choose to reinstall everything fresh when I flash a ROM. It just feels newer. If all u wanna do is freeze bloatware, I would go with Antek.

TitaniumBackup pro is best for me

Don't delete.
It's a real PITA if you need to restore an app for any reason.
With the processing power, ram, and storage why would you need to delete?...

As for OP's question, Titanium Backup Pro by a landslide.
IMHO everyone should own this app since its like the "Swiss Army Knife" of Android apps...

System Tuner can freeze app and much more!
System Tuner now allows freezing/unfreezing apps very easily and much more features.
You can check its details here:

You should add after they have root as well seeing as i tried to install and it doesnt work on my phone(no root/unlock yet)
I normally just rename the apk in my system folder using root explorer. App.apk_fro

One of the many reason I prefer System Tuner Pro, much more features than just app management, and it's still being updated with new features very frequently.
And not the least, it's still cheaper than Titanium Backup Pro! It can actually replace both TBP and System Panel Pro for much much less bucks! And still offer more features than both apps united!
STP should be the 3rd app on any Android phone if not the first considering it offers many features without root requried!
The first 2 could well be ClockWorkMod and root for those wishing to have extended control over their phone.
I use bloat freezer and love it. It seems to be much more descriptive on the thing I'm freezing than TiB which usually reports com.something

Bloat freezer doesn't come up when I search the Market..Where is it?
VZW always sticks us with all this bloatware and everyone hates it. I don't even want to see it there. Especially the VZW Navigation, Backup Assistant, and Media Manager.
But, I got started thinking. Besides just looking annoying, how much does their simple presence really matter? What is gained by removing them besides I just don't have to look at them?
These "unused" apps sometimes run in the background and take up precious ram which may in turn slow the phone down. For people who are neat freaks (like me), I like to clean out any useless apps because they are unnecessary and take up room on my phones screens and memory.
I currently have my OG Incredible and will be moving onto the RZ so ram may not be as much of an issue to you guys, however, why have something on your phone which you don't use and could potentially slow your phone down? Not me
Does anyone have a list of what apps are safe to remove?

We are still eMMC write locked so unless that app only freezes stuff, it won't help. Removing the APK doesn't do anything because it doesn't actually get removed.
Hey everyone, I have been creating a list of apks for a personal aroma app installer for myself. I'm sure most of you know about this but I haven't seen it around here. Since I have a decent list of apps already, I'm offering to share it if enough people want it. I will take app requests as well to add to it. I just wanted to get an idea if people want it before I ask permission from the creators to use it. I would like to give a little something back to the community even though it's nothing difficult or spectacular.
Let me know if it's good or a waste before someone starts flaming me lol.

I've been thinking about this question, but I think I know the answer. If people submit apps, they will need to be free apps, because most paid apps don't have advanced enough license checks to prevent users from side loading them without them having purchased the license in the play store.
So am I correct to assume that the aroma installer you publish will be with free apps only?
Right off the top of my head, titanium backup and kernel tuner come to mind and nice freebies, android tuner free is another good one if you like it better.
Absolutely, only free apps. I know some obtain paid versions without paying but I will not be doing that since I do not want to cause problems for xda, myself, or others. I would be including apps such as internet browser, sms, root tools, social apps, tools, etc. Several of the more popular options for each

If I had to recommend one, its titanium backup. I hate having to go install it on every ROM I flash.

You can create an update.zip of TB from the settings and it places a flashable zip on your sd to flash in recovery. But it will definitely be in the package anyway. Was the first one I added.

It would be useful to be able to load a file manager from recovery... I use Solid Explorer (paid) but I don't know if it would work to sideload the trial and then restore the key with Titanium. Maybe you could include Solid Explorer, and ES Explorer as a nice free alternative?

Like I mentioned in the previous post, I won't include paid apps for obvious reasons but es file explorer and astro will be in there. I will add solid as well.

Just to be clear, I did mean that you could include the trial, and then users could restore or re-download the key (although I'm not entirely sure that that will work - I know that for Fancy Widgets, I have to download both the app and the key from the store unless I restore my previous Android ID, but it works fine to restore Apex and its key, and Titanium stores its license on the SD card, so I never have to install the key at all).
Although many paid apps are readily available for free, I don't see why anyone should avoid paying an extremely modest sum to help the developers maintain their devices and services and hence their apps.
Ya I know. I will add the trial version like you mentioned. And I agree. I used to get all the paid apps for free but I guess I grew up and realized I should help support them. They are so cheap to buy anyway.

Those are all on the list but root explorer will not be since it is not free.

You could create an empty folder for people to put their own paid apps in. Aroma does not care if the folder is empty. Just call it paid with /data/app in it.
You could also create another folder for people to drop their apps in it that you did not include.
Just don't pre select them in the menu

System Tuner and Battery Monitor Widget are old news now. Android Tuner is their new app that does both functions in one app. I have the pro version and it's pretty nice.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Correction, that should be Android Tuner Free not System Tuner. Also Quickboot, CPU Spy, the XDA app as add-ins.

Removing all the bloat would probably be the number one thing people Will be doing.
But rooting allows so much more.

1. Titanium Backup to remove bloat
2. Get Google Wallet back.
3. Get all my Tasker scripts that required root working again.
No more ads...

I installed Wallet right from the Play Store... haven't rooted my phone yet.
1. Titanium backup
2. no more ads!
3. AutomateIt (it's like Tasker) now can control app specific GPS on/off toggle.
4. I'm going to debloat the crap out of the phone
5. GMD GestureControl (get my swipe to Alt-Tab between apps back)
I almost never get a phone before it's been rooted, and in the few days that I've used the note 3 without Root, I've come to realize that rooting is pretty important in my day-to-day usage.

Are you able to pay with Wallet? I thought we could install it but the Verizon Note 3 would not allow us to pay with it.
What do you mean no ads. I have no ads now. What about DPI. Note 2 was all about 240 DPI. what's the hot DPI now.

As the title states, I have been away from the android rooting and development scene and things have changed. I have read about apps and a script that will backup bloatware apps and then remove them, how has the experiences been with these methods as opposed to using titanium back up and doing it individually? I don't care about custom rooms or the sorts just don't want the crap on the device. Thanks in advance.

NoBloat Free by TVK Development works well. Just be careful and don't delete any system apps (Android guy icon).
