Hi guys
I'm using an S6 Edge, rooted stock rom. And I've successfully used Titanium to freeze a ton of unwanted apps / processes in order to reserve battery life and keep things running smooth.
My battery is excellent now.
Just wondering though if i can trim down a bit more.
The below apps literally always run, the last few I'm having difficultly identifying
Can anyone help / advise there purpose so i know if they are safe to freeze?
Fingerprint -
Assuming this is the fingerprint scanner to unlock?
Passpoint Settings -
tuiService -
com.sec.bcservice -
Context Service -
DCMProvider -

I use SystemPanel to identify apps that are running, and Titanium to freeze apps that I don't want to run. Here is a list of apps that I have safely froze, and a list of apps that I am considering freezing but too scared because I don't know for sure what they do.
Apps that are safe to freeze:
AllShare -- never ran it, so I don't know what I am missing
Buddies Now -- never ran it, so I don't know what I am missing
com.sec.android.samsungapps.una --not sure what it was, but I don't seem to miss it
Daily Briefing --downloads news and stuff to show in its widget.
DRM Protected Content Storage --needed for the Avatar movie.
DRMContentLauncher --needed for the Avatar movie
Fancy Widget --comes with macnut
QuickOffice --lets you view MS Office documents. Not sure why it would need to run all the time though
SNS --social networking sync. I think it's needed for the social hub
SNS Account -- same as SNS above
Social Hub --an app that shows FB and twitter posts
Visual Voicemail --Never used it or needed it. Who uses voicemail anymore??
Voice Dialer --I don't use voice dialing
Wi-Fi Calling --Freezing this one is strange because it still shows as running even after being frozen. Maybe it should be deleted???
wssyncmlnps --another syncing app for one of the apps that I have froze above, I believe
Apps that I am considering freezing, but too scared since I don't know what they do:
BadgeProvider
com.sec.android.providers.downloads
Mobile tracker settings
My Uploads
Task Manager
Wi-Fi Calling --well, I know what this does, but freezing it won't stop it, so it might need to be deleted.
MTP Application
Gallery --why does this continue to run in the BG all the time?
HTC_IME mod
LogsProvider
Processes running under System Processes that I am considering freezing, but too scared since I don't know what they do
mmcqd 0.2
sensorserver_ya 0.1
mediaserver 0.1
rild 0.0
evetns/0 0.0
pvr_workqueue 0.0
zygote 0.0
Anyone want to add to the list, or explain what some of the apps that I am considering freezing actually do?
By the way, I am using the Macnut R13 ROM.
hey nice list...
one question off topic
i can't seem to find Social Hub in my r13 rom..... do you? i know Samsung IM & Email are probably part of samsung social hub.. but i cant seem to find the social hub app itself... weird..
All ROM Devs have removed wifi-calling because you can never shut it down and it eats through your battery.

I'm running Obsidian V5 and I uninstalled wifi calling all together.. I dont plan on using it. Here's others I froze/uninstalled without seeing any issues or anything:
- android live wallpapers 2.2 (dont use any)
- buddies now
- calendar 1.1 (dont use)
- calendar storage 1.1
- calendar sync
- car home 1.2
- car home 2.2
- desk home 1.0
- email 2.2
- feeds & updates (not sure what it is, but hasnt affected anything ive noticed)
- files 1.0
- google voice 0.4.2.8
- live wallpaper picker 2.2
- manage online album 1.0
- samsung apps 1.2.183
- talk 1.3 (dont use it - dont know what it is but always running)
- task manager 1.11
- voice dialer 2.2
- voice search 2.0.1
Wifi calling can be uninstalled through Titanium, but you need to reboot immediately because it will cause constant FCs.
As for the others, I wouldn't touch sns or the providers.downloads. The latter is necessary for market downloads I believe. Also leave the system processes alone unless you want to Odin back.

hello, uhm i just installed titanium backup pro (TBP) and i have one question:
does TBP need to stay running on the background for frozen apps to stay frozen?

No, it doesn't need to run in the background (i.e., just freeze or un-freeze with TB and you're set to go).
So, I recently got my first android and I've been fairly obsessed with getting it to run as smooth as possible, with as little battery drain as possible. Removing all bloat, and all unnecessary apps/services etc. Now I find myself with half my apps being related to optimization, and I am wondering if this might have some reversed effects. I do appologize for the long read, I hope this thread will clarify some things for more than just me!
My setup so far on my LG G2 D802:
Stock KitKat 4.4.2 - DorimanX newest beta kernel (STweaks, Synapse)
Viper4android - Sound quality is ALOT better, buzz/hissing sound gone.
Greenify - I use it mainly on social apps, to prevent wakelocks. Also used on stuff I don't use and cpu/ram consuming apps I don't use that often
DisableService - Used mainly on social apps and I have disabled about 20 system services (Mainly wearable, game, log, and ad stuff)
Xposed Installer: Xprivacy, BootManager, Cool Tool, Greenify, Secure Settings(Mainly for Llama), Wakelock Terminator.
Trickstermod - Using to modify IO and kernel (Running deadline/interactive(Highly modified))
Wakelock Detector
Titanium Backup
SuperSu
CPU Monitor Advanced Pro
All in all 17 apps just for optimizing, it feels a bit much? Does these app drain battery? Any tips?
I have this phone and planning to freeze bloatware to begin with. Problem I'm getting is I don't really know which ones to freeze and which ones I shouldn't
I have TitaniumBackup. It doesn't highlight any of the 'critical' system apps which could rekh the phone. Only one I know I shouldn't disable is the "TouchWiz". There are bunch of 'applications' names in the 'system apps'. some are listed without an icon and just like "com.xxxxxx.xxxx". I don't know if these are safe to disable or not.
Anyone know an app which highlights the critical ones? I don't want to disable like the GSM or Display of the phone via Titanium Backup
Will be following this thread to remove data from.

I'm on stock ROM because I value high battery life and camera performance over gaming performance etc.

Be careful what you disable as most apps on tw devices are reliant on each other.
I disabled a load of them and nearly borked my phone. After a while it got slower and slower.
Hangouts and chaton plug into the system messager, they can be disabled. Apps that plug in to system apps can be disabled safely without fear of killing it just dont disable actual system stuff. Eg Disabling google play services will save you battery but will cause issues with apps and games. You will be disabling very little on tw devices!.
As for camera. The stock app is sh** so use a 3rd party app. Dont disable the stock camera app as system needs it for diagnostics should you ever need to test your device using the factory test app (mmi code).
Basically, go slowly starting with apps that you never use. Disable instead of delete as if you have issues you can restore easily.

Hello,
I have a Mi note 10 Lite (unrooted) that I have tried to set in order to avoid any battery drainage. The phone is pretty new, so I don't have many Apps installed (WhatsApp, Spotify and few others. No FB, instagram etc yet).
- Naptime with aggressive doze is installed;
- No auto-sync whatsover
- No automatic backyp
- Block ads via nextdns.it
- Position history, wifi scan etc is all disabled
- all apps ore optimized in the battery settings
- Already tried to wipe Google play serivces' cache, than to unistall updates and wipe again. I have also disabled the ability to change system settings (even if it keeps coming back on after a while);
- Set LTE/WCDMA in the hidden 4636 menu (I do it every time I reboot my phone);
- Removed MSA authorisation,
- Disabled MIUI optimisation
- did a lot of similar things and in-app optimisation (no tracking/history in Google maps, no Play safe, no personalised adv in MIUI apps) etc etc
Everything I could do without rooting my phone is done. I am not using it intensively (still as a 2nd phone till I can get this drainage sorted), so I use it only for some WhatsApp and online articles (with mint browser).
With Naptime I was able to reduce the screen off drainage (now it's -2% overnight), but Google Play services is always at the top of my battery chart. I installed BBS and I don't have worrysome Partial wakelocks, but I do have a lot of alarms from Google and Android:
BBS
Google-BBS
Android-BBS
Can you please take a look at these screenshot and tell me what should I do?
Hi there,
I've been upgrading to a S21 9910 from a S9. Tried with SmartSwitch - but battery life was pretty poor (3-4h SOT).
Now I've done the factory reset and I'm still in the process of restoring - which is kind of a pain the ***** somehow. I've also disabled a few things with ADB, just basic (Bixby, etc).
Is there any "allowed" way to restore maybe things like settings / configuration / with Samsung Cloud / Google Backup AND not to impact the battery life or so?
Any help/hints would be useful.
THANK YOU!
SmartSwitch creates more problems in my opinion (but I had a Huawei so that could have also been a problem) and google backup is still an obscure thing for me (compare to ios backup).
Usually the battery improves after few days but don't expect 10hrs screen time.
This is what I did with mine to improve battery life:
- disabled AOD
- changed to dark theme
- set a routine with bixby to disable mobile data when on a specific wi-fi (like home one) and switch to 3G (if you disconnect from it the phone goes back to 4G/5G+ mobile data)
- put screen to 60 fps (i don't use social network and I mainly read on watch videos on phone so I don't need 120 fps)
- with "package disabler pro" I disabled few services/apps (OneDrive, all game related plugins, samsung kids, led cover service, google Duo, facebook services)
- switched from youtube app to youtube vanced
- blokada
- I use brave as a browser (not tested if it is better on battery side compared to samsung's one)
With these setting and without disabling bixby I can get at least 4hrs if I game a lot (tested with Genshin that takes aroung 20-25 % / hrs; obviously not 4hrs of Genshin or the phone would melt down on 60 fps setting). On general usage whatsapp, youtube, music, phonecalls, 30 min gaming, bluetooth always on and connected to samsung watch (Gear fit 2) and location on (but limited to some apps) you should get more than 6 hrs.
If you are setting up phone I also suggest you Good Lock from samsung store (a lot of customization for the phone).
Thanks for sharing your approach!
I've also AOD disabled, and a few others.
120Hz I would like to have still.
Let's see - if I get anything more than 5h I would be happy already. Will share my experience after few days and finished set-up.
What exactly is this "Good Lock" - you mean the screen lock app?

Good Lock is an app that you can download from the Galaxy Store. It lets you customize lockscreen, AOD, Quick Panel, launcher, task changer, notifications, navigation bar and much more.
