I rooted using the one click and was hoping to freeze some bloatware and unnecessary extras. Casual was nice enough to freeze a few things for me. I also froze the ota apk (sdm01.apk don't recall exactly). Does a list exist what is safe to freeze/remove anywhere? Thanks
Depends on what you are trying to freeze. You can use es file explorer or root explorer to delete them out of the system/app folder. Most custom roms are already debloated. Test out a couple of Roms and find the one you like. As for a list, should be able to just google that.

When i need to freeze an app i usually use titanium backup, it lets you freeze/unfreeze applications.

I have titanium backup and just freezing them using that is good enough for me. I also like the stock rom, no need for custom. I actually found a list in the sticky for the android development how to thread, must have overlooked it before. Thanks though.

Deleting the apk also is a good way to free up system space and make your handset run faster. Also when I say custom ROM, it does not necessarily mean that it does not have the stock features anymore. Just that there are added features that help with functionality and performance.

Does anybody use this on their Evo 3D? I start the app but it doesn't request Superuser permissions. I used this on all of my previous Android phones with no issues. Any ideas? Thanks!

Works for me, without problems...it just takes some time to load all apps/events - longer than on my hd2 (senseless rom)
Thanks.
Hmm I don't know why it won't work on mine. I tried it on WTSB, Xron Tweaked Shooter, Synergy and now CleanROM. It loads the app list but doesn't gain root access. I restarted and the disabled apps are still running.

Not familiar with this specific app but following the logic you've provided, if the application acquired root access properly on all your other custom ROMs except the current one, perhaps there is a root access issues with the specific custom ROM you're on now.
If it is a root access problem on your specific rom, my Root Check app in the market, in advanced mode, should give all the details needed to troubleshoot root access issues.
keep us updated! hope that helps!

jenna, If were talking about the same app for sure (Market Link) I'm using it right now on my 3VO and it seems to work just fine. I currently running SteelRom2.02 if that helps....Though now you have me wondering about the the version of SU you are using having problems maybe...? In steel's 2.02 rom he included SU 3.0 beta3 and works flawlessly so far, Hope that helps.
I am also having the same problem on ViperROM, autostart won't ask for super user permissions

Thanks for the replies everyone!
I'm on SU 2.3.6.3
I cleared the app data and cache then tested by adding Visidon App Lock to the list of disabled apps, restarted and its not running anymore.
It seems to be working, even though it didn't ask for root.

Hello Developers!
I work with Jrummy Apps Inc, the company and developer who brought you Rom Toolbox, Root Browser, Ultimate Backup, Busybox Installer, and many other root apps.
First, some background:
ROM Toolbox combines all the great root apps into one monster app with a beautiful and easy to use interface. ROM Toolbox has every tool you need to make your Android device fast and customized to your liking. ROM Toolbox has been featured on LifeHacker, XDA-Developers, Droid-Life, Android Central, RootzWiki, Android Police, DroidForums and other popular sites. ROM Toolbox has one of the highest ratings in the top 100 paid apps. Over 12,000 people gave it a full 5 star review! ★★★★★
ROM Toolbox combines apps like Titanium Backup, ROM Manager, Root Explorer, SetCPU, Ad Blocker, MetaMorph, Autorun Manager, Terminal Emulator, Script Manager, SD Booster, BuildProp Editor, Font Installer, Boot Animation Installer & many more apps into an all-in-one app!
The Revamped Rom Manager includes support for OTA updates!
Here’s where you come in:
We want your rom in our app. All roms will be *completely* free to download through our Rom Manager.
Why should you want to put your rom in our app?
Because your rom would be available to a much larger audience with more potential downloads and donations for you.
We want this to be as easy as possible for you.
To get the rom on ROM Toolbox, please do the following:
1) Fill out the file below with the roms/zips you want to have.
2) Save it in JSON format. I recommend using the free program called Notepad++ to modify and save json files.
3) Upload this file to your server. That way you can be in control of what ROMs show up at all times. Otherwise we can host it ourselves.
4) Send us the link to this file on your server.
5) Send us a summary of the ROM.
6) Send us the name of the ROM.
7) Send us the devices you support.
Code:
{
"version": "1", /*Keep this here, do not change or modify*/
"homepage": "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=...",/*link to website or original thread*/
"donate": "https://www.paypal.com/...", /*donation link*/
"roms": [
{
"name": "NoWizAOSPmod v.1.4.2 (7/22)",/*Name of Rom*/
"product": "NoWizAOSPmod",/*Name of series*/
"summary": "NoWizAOSP is a rom without wiz, and mimicking aosp...", /*Description of rom, and as updates begin, you will want to put changelogs here.*/
"device": "d2spr", /*device id*/
"url": "http://xeoduxus.com/downloadable/nowizaosp.zip" /*Direct download link, no goo.im please.*/
}
]
}
Note: you can add as many zips/roms as you want.. just add another section right under the "rom" entry. If you need any assistance filling this out feel free to ask and we can help you!
If you'd like to use addons, optional, flashable downloads with your rom, please let me know and I'd be happy to explain how to do it.
Ideally we would love for you to maintain your own download link. If this is not possible, please contact us and we'll do our best to help out.
ROM Toolbox is going through a major overhaul currently and has been completely rewritten. We want you to be a part of this!
Thanks!
~ Master Ramy

(Mods, wasn't sure if this should go here or in development. Feel free to move it.)
Now is your chance, developers! Get in on this!
I recently uninstalled the paid version of ROM Toolbox as almost none of the functions worked in the Note 2.
Is the new version going to have all the functions available for the Note 2??
Yeah I cant even get Rom Toolbox to boot on this phone
If only there was a dedicated place here at XDA to find ROMs to download. Complete with support threads, change logs, and donation links to the Dev ....

Strange. I have the paid version also. Rom toolbox works fine on my Note 2. Everything I have used with rom toolbox works. I even installed the updated twrp 2.3.3.1from this app. They do need to get the latest 2.3.3.2 which has been out 5 days. As long as rom toolbox can stay updated I will always use it.
Have you tried changing the status bar icons??
I never used it for things like updating TWRP, once you have that installed its pretty simple to update anyway.

it does let you change some of the just not the 4g icon. ive changed the battery,vibration,wifi,usb with rom toolbox. the boot animations, fonts and some other things work as well. its as great app and i will always use it. everything work but a few icons. its even replaced titanium backup for me.
It must depend on what ROM you're running as none of the icons I tried worked with beans ROM (unless its been updated just recently)
Actually, all I tried to change where 4g and battery and it didn't work for either one so I gave up.
There where quite a few posts about this a few weeks ago, it wasn't working for anybody.
As far as Titanium BU, I never use that myself. i just BU quite a bit with CWM.

for the battery you will have to filter out everything but the 1% icons and that will give you all the icons you can use on beans rom. the 10 and 20% icons will not work cause beans is 1% increments

Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
While XDA is excellent for all these functions, it is not as accessible as an app for people who wanna get things done directly on their mobile device. XDA also does not offer the ability to directly backup and flash the rom, change icons, etc.
So, I'm thinking of switching to official ROM. The thing is, it's full of crapps. I want to remove EVERY SINGLE .apk I don't need(be it in the launcher or not). I want it to be as slim as CyanogenMod 10.1
Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!
First...you need to root your firmware in order to 'debloat'....
Second....you need an app like Titanium Backup to freeze and/or remove the bloat.....
Take a look at this thread. .....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069924
Word of advice.....
1) freeze the (cr)apps before you delete them....to find out whether you lose any functionality that you need......you can unfreeze any needed apps if that does happen.
2) make a nandroid backup before you begin......that way you can restore your (bloat filled) firmware if you accidentally remove a system app that your phone needs to boot.....
Sent from my rooted, de bloated, stock JB powered S2 via PhilZ kernel and XDA developers app
An easier method to debloat is after rooting, install the app system cleanup, in the apps section it will give detailed info on most apps and which all are safe to remove and which all can be removed but with loss of features.

Several ROMs are debloated, for example,
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 4.0 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | Best STOCK ROM
It might be good to peek in the ROM Bible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423022
And go through the developer's thread to see the list of ROM's and read their first page where the features/unfeatures/undocumented features (bugs) are listed.
Good answer!
You really have to be careful when uninstalling apps.
Best thing to do is to freeze them in titanium backup first. Then if they kill something you can un freeze them.

Thanks pbergonzi and Chevy for your valuable replies
and one more question
Debloated ROM means what kind of ROMs ? What exactly does it mean ?
sorry i am noob
thank you
Debloating means to remove the bloat. Bloat means to puff up, or swell. Some people feel that carriers fill the phones with junk, such as T-mobile apps, that is, bloated. Some developers make ROM's without the junk or bloatware, thus debloated.
The simple act of google finds explanations of bloat, etc. That is a reminder to search. One of the things that separate noobs from non-noobs is the ability to use a search engine.
Thank You
so basically you are saying search before you post, right ?
ok got it !
sorry
thank you friend
Use rom toolbox to get rid of bloat, it has an uninstaller through which you can remove any system applications. Make sure you have root and proper know how which application can be removed without ending up in a boot loop

You cannot flash Google app packs on Touchwiz ROM (but I'm not 100% sure ) If you want to remove these apps install ES File Explorer or something similar, give it root privileges, find tab with system apps and uninstall ones you don't want.
