Is it safe to remove these apps? Using @JustArchi custom sammy rom.
Face unlock
Factory mode (2 of them for some reason?!?!)
Test service
Topic wall
Yes, but obviously certain things will stop working -like face unlock, dialer codes and topic widget etc.
There is a thread for services safe to stop, or search xda/Google
If you are not sure you can freeze the app so if you see something wrong you can restore it.
But for that you need to update to titanium backup pro.
But it's worth it

I´ve made titanium backup of all my apps (stock froyo rom) then installed Bi-Winning rom and now I can´t restore my phone to how it was with Titanium, it doesn´t lists any of the apps I had installed neither the "interface" settings (volume, profiles, icon settings), the stupid titanium backup lost all my data and apps, where are them??? I have backup them!!!
do you have a filter on? Did you go menu, batch, restore missing?
you never restore system apps.

Also, Before flashing anything new .... ALWAYS.... just copy everything on to your computer in a folder. Then, if the flashing cause any data loss you also have a secure back up to restore from. BUT 1st follow s15274 advice, it is the obvious do that first

Yes I have all the filters set to ALL. Man this program is so idiot. I hate it. It doesn´t work. You install a new ROM and all your apps are missing, there´s no backup. I´m gonna destroy this thing. Could it be a problem because I did a "restore factory/clear data" on CWR before flashing the new ROM? or this idiot backup program is just a **** plain and simple? WHERE IS MY STUFF??

I don´t know why people post when they don´t know exactly what they are saying. I have just uninstalled Titanium PRO and re-installed Titanium non-pro and all my apps appear again. Very strange. Could it be something related to a "root" version of the non-pro? Well the PRO should also be root.

I was referring to someone saying that cwm factory reset would delete the titanium backup files.
I still don´t understand how it´s possible that the PRO doesn´t show my backup files and the non-pro does.

ok so I´m idiot and you are all smart guys. So tell me, why the PRO doesn´t show my saved apps and the non-pro does? I have made the backup using the exact same PRO installation file.

There aren't separate pro and non-pro apps. All the pro app does is unlock features in the base app. So idk what you screwed up but you did somewhere. Did you legitimately buy the pro app or sideload it?

So I guess trying to avoid a flame war the op sent me a pm that he did indeed sideload the app. Hence this thread was opened because he was mad that his stolen app did not function properly. Therefore I conclude that the op = idiot

This thread is what's wrong with xda.
soon as i read the thread title... i knew something was wrong.
just to make this thread a little worth, I´ve found a way of restoring all the apps without the annoying titanium messages for each app. Here is how:
Make a backup with both MyBackup root and titanium backup free, for both app + data.
After installing a new rom, perform the restore of app+data first in MyBackup. It will not popup any button durring the restore, but it will fail to restore apps settings (data). After that, run the batch restore operation in Titanium but in the last screen select just "data", not app+data. It will restore all apps settings (data) correctly. All free.
Congratulations...you found a way to profit from other people's work without having to give anything in return.
If you're going to be a pirate, no one can stop you. Just keep it to yourself and don't come whining for help when it bites you in the butt.
Yep:

Hello guys! I've been formatting my phone more frequently as of lately as I've been trying roms, and I'd like to know is there a way to backup the icon order or folders or anything like that? It's kind of a pain putting all my icons back in order and such every time! I'm not rooted. Is there a way? Thanks
Some launchers have the ability to save the layout, launcher pro and adw come to mind, doubt the stock one can.

You have to root if you wanna use Titanium Backup
I think other app or other solution you still need to root cause you have to mass with system app(touchwiz) so you need root.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me, I have figured it out all I needed to is remove app installer apk from the ROM using TB
By the way I'm stock using latest ICS released by at&t.
thank you...
could you please put the word "SOLVED" in your thread title ?
It helps users find the answers to their questions, and it keeps the threads clean.
Thanks !!......g
OK how do I do that ( put SOLVED ) ?
You can edit your original post...
simply find the "edit" button, and use it to open your mesaage, then you can change the title.
No big deal if you can't, it's just a suggestion....g
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:

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 !

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.

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

A lot of the bloatware can actually be uninstalled. Just be sure to have a Nandroid backup ready (don't do this if you don't have a custom recovery and a backup), because uninstalling some things can cause a Security Error when you try to boot. I found out the hard way yesterday that uninstalling LGSmartcardService will cause that error, but I was able to remove a lot of other things.

It would be helpful if you can list out the 'Safe to Remove' bloatware if possible,
Right. But the /system partition isn't really readily available for anything useful, so I settled with freezing it at the moment. I've heard of people running into trouble when actually removing the apps before as well, beware!
