Was just curious...
I currently have
Android Keyboard 2.3.6 - Don't use it
Badge Provider1.0
Calendar 1.0 - Theres a 1.1 I'm using.
ChocoEUkor 1.0
Clock 1.0 - Theres 2 of these...
Com.Samsung.app.playreadui 2.3.6
com.samsung.inputeventapp 1.0.0
CSC 1.0
Mobile Print 1.4.1 - Don't use it
Pico TTS 1.0 - Don't use it
Samsung Keypad 2.3.6 - Don't use it
Samsung TTS 1.0 - Don't use it
Service Mode 2.3.6
Speech Recorder 2.3.6 - Don't use it
wipeoutreciver 1.0
So what do you all have disabled and have you noticed any gains in performance/battery life?
I don't freeze a single thing....I download every rom and completely tear it apart. Anything that would be froze I just completely delete the APK....pretty much every one in your list and a hundred more. I also delete all the apps that installed to the system such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.....and just reinstall from the market. Makes the rom super light shedding crazy MBs....no running system crap....pretty much if I clear my ram there is five things running in services until I launch something....I have been on Omega for over a month and a half with NO issues whatsoever running Codeworx kernel and getting 16 hours up with 5 1/2 hours of screen on and about 45 minutes of voice calls not to mention texts all day.

Check this spreadsheet.

Impressive.
That list has served me well for a long time now....wish I had one back in the beginning of the Captivate days..would have saved me a bunch of time I wasted rescuing my phone....sure miss the fun though...the suspense of uninstalling the APK that was going to kill it. Kind of like guitar hero....it just wasn't as fun after you're good at it.
Don't forget to hit Pulsers thanx button for putting that together.

Thanks for the link
i only freeze something as a test for battery life. Once I know that there aren't any ill effects of freezing it, I'll remove it. So my rom's dont really have anything frozen, unless I'm testing it.

Is there any way to get the AOSP text messaging app to replace the Sense one? I read that a direct replacement of the APK doesnt send MMS correctly. Anyone got one working? Im sick of the Sense messaging redraws and slowness.
There is one on the market but mms doesn't work on it either. I want it too. Hopefully someone can figure it out!

You guys should try Slide Messaging from the Play Store. It's pretty awesome. Funny thing is I had that exact idea not too long ago. Anyway, if you download it, it doesn't have MMS support yet and it's a tad bit slow even on our phones. >_<

No problem at all. I was just at work and didn't have time to get drop box downloaded and that apk uploaded. Hahah. It was just really quick to gmail them

I find the app works, but unless I freeze the stock messaging app in TiB I receive duplicates for each message. So if you freeze it everything works right, but now I have the problem that lightflow keeps repeating and I cant clear the notification sounds unless its from the stock app. I could just disable lightflow, but I work in a loud environment and I kind of need it to keep repeating or else i usually wont hear or even feel it 1st time. That's all i use lightflow for, is the repeating sound and vibration, the LED's are disabled. If anyone knows another app out there that can do the same thing that would be nice.

Does this have group messaging? This is the only reason why i stick to the sense app.

Or not, since MMS is really shoddy and is completely disabled without paying, not to mention it being really slow if you have many messages.

It isn't GPS, it's for e911. And it can't be turned off if the OP is curious.

if you go to Settings, More, About you will see the menu item called Icon Glossary.. all the icons are explained there.. and don't share this with att friends.. it's not there.. apparently.. How does verizon get this cool little detail right and miss so many other things?

Is there a way to suppress this icon from displaying while leaving the e911 service active? I was able to do so on my samsung droid charge (2 phones ago) and would like to do the same with my new S4.

cf lumen can work without root by using a overlay. but it dose look better when rooted.
Someone will find a way.. hopefully.

There's a fingerprint gesture app in the Android app section of the forum. Just does notifications but seems to work well enough.

I just tried it, extremely buggy. Still not pleased that this phone most likely has a compatible sensor, since it was made by Huawei, and Google claims it doesn't have compatible hardware. I would say they are just trying to keep it "pixel exclusive" as long as possible.
shame on you google, why don't you just stop updating NEXUS

I just tried it as well. Doesn't seem buggy at all tried all the different options and all worked great. However, the major caveat seems to be that you simply hold your finger on the sensor (just like you do when unlocking the phone), rather than using a gesture - which is what people were wanting to get.
Yeah, it's not perfect but a decent start. True swipe gestures would be cool, I bet somebody gets something better working.

Lucky. Sometimes it works work well, others it would hang for over 5 seconds or just not do anything at all. It didn't matter what mode I was on. It especially got flakey if I pressed the power button. Oh well, whatcha gonna do. It's a step in the right direction so that's a positive!

Yea I tried every setting in the app, it was slightly more consistent, but I was still having issues. I will wait to see if a new version comes out or some other solution to these gestures surfaces. I am on the 7.1.1 beta, that could be an issue also.
