I have been looking for a list of apps that I could safely freeze without having problems using my phone. Since, I couldn't find a list for GSM phones, because most of the lists out there are for US phones. I decided to test them and post my own list of frozen apps/services.
==================================================================
To freeze apps/services I use 'AntTeck App' (FREE, but you might donate and get some extra features).
NOTE:
I am not responsible for anything bad that happens with your phone. With this said, you may use this list as guide since it's my own list of frozen apps/services. I will always update it if I discover that something is wrong or get more apps to freeze.
REMEMBER:
Backup your ROM.
If you don't know already learn how to restore a backup encase you need to do it.
If nothing major happens you can always defrost an app/service
ATTENTION:
Do not freeze apps that you use. This is a guide only.
List of Frozen Apps/Services:
** Background ** - Apps/Services that are running on boot but you may freeze if you don't use.
- Clock - You may freeze it, if you use a third party clock.
- Calendar Storage - Controls the appointments and birthdays.
- Dock Mode
- Facebook for HTC Sense - It controls the widget.
- Gmail
- Google Search
- HTC Sense - I wouldn't mess with this, unless you have some Launcher ON.
- HTC Weather Sync Provider
- Locations
- Locations Launcher
- Mail
- News
- Reader
- Stream Media Player
- Talk - I have see a lot of people wasting battery because of this service.
- User Dictionary - This service stores all your used words while you type a text, so next time it predicts what you are going to write.
- Weather Provider
** Other ** - App/Services that might be running because of bad settings. You may freeze them if you wish. I have a few of them frozen because I will never use them so better freeze than waste battery one day .
- Accounts & Sync
- Android Live Wallpaper
- App Sharing
- Archive Viewer
- Facebook
- Flashlight - You may freeze it when using a 3rd party app.
- Flickr
- Friend Stream
- Google Calendar Sync
- Google Contacts Sync
- HTC Lock Screen - You may freeze it to get the original android lock screen.
- HTC Slide Show Wallpaper
- HTC weather sync provider
- HTC Weather Wallpaper
- Live Wallpaper Picker
- Location Picker
- Peep
- Picassa Web Albums
- Polaris Office
- Quick Lookup
- Ringtone Trimmer
- Setup
- Setup Wizard
- SIM toolkit
- Sound Recorder
- Street View - It’s Google's Street View.
- Stocks
- Talk
- TrimIt
- TTS Service - Text-to-Speech.
- Twitter
- Voice Recorder
- Watch
- Weather
- Weather Agent Service
** TESTING **
- Customization Setup [*C*]
- HTML Viewer [*C*]
- com.htc.provider.settings
- CSPeopleSyncService

- HTC Checking Service
- com.htc.dcs.service.stock

LAST UPDATE TO THE LIST : 05/03/2012
The list will be kept up-to-date.
You can always share your frozen apps/services as well as ask questions. I am here to help the community.
Any suggestions or errors let me know so I can keep the list up-to-date.
Thanks

Thank You Waiting to try out something new especially MIUI, was long since i used it.
Thank you team
Yeah yeah yeah yeah !!!!!! I want this MIUI !!!!
Excellent. You released the GSM port
I will let others know the following since I helped test:
- 3G data works and mine works even after a reboot (no manual switching on of data required.)
- currently only 3G working, not HSDPA
- WIFI working good and no connection dropouts so far
- wallpapers do scroll for me depending on the wallpaper chosen
- IMPORTANT: after installing apps, Permissions Manager will popup asking if you trust the app. Do NOT do anything here or you will run into issues with FC's. I.e. you will get the following errors: "Unfortunately, Permissions Manager has stopped." and "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." Ultimately the phone will be renedered useless because the errors will keep popping up and you wont be able to connect to your cell network.. requiring a reflash
cant add apn on GSM it send me to verizon page.

Is there any chance that you accidentally installed CDMA version?
EDIT:
currently only 3G working, not HSDPA
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually HSDPA works, it's just that the icon is stuck at 3G.
If you download a file you will see speeds that is far better than what 3G is capable off.
Ahh. Thanks for the clarification. Good to know

hardware acel working in this rom?
Sent from my XT910 using XDA
good news! i m not the only one who cares hd video smoothness etc etc
This is very good news! I'm a big MIUI rom fan (used it on my htc desire).
An update on feedback after testing for a day.. everything is very fluid and working great for an alpha build. However, battery seems to drain VERY fast. Only been an hour from full charge but I'm already down to 60%. Not quite sure what the issue could be because the battery doesn't drain as quick on the AOKP/CM9 builds of ICS. Hopefully it is diagnosed soon.
HELL YEAHHH!!!!
this is great, hope the beta will release soon..
still using MIUI ICS port on my defy, n i hope it gonna be epic on RAZR!

Xposed module: App Settings v1.10
What it is
This is an Xposed module that allows changing generic settings on a per-app basis.
"Generic settings" means settings that are global to all applications, such as: perceived DPI, rotation behavior, fullscreen, etc.; full list is below.
These are settings that can in principle be applied to all packages, even if for some it might not produce any effects.
Not to be confused with app-specific settings. If it's something that only app Y or Z needs changing, chances are it won't belong in this module.
What the mod CAN do
Here's the list of settings that can be defined for each target package:
- DPI: Changes the DPI used by this app both when loading resources (some might be DPI-specific) and also when rendering them.
- Font Scale: Scales the font up or down, similarly to the system-wide "Font Size" setting.
- Screen dimensions: Affects the resources loaded by the app in case it bundles different ones for different screen sizes; use the "List Res." button to get some hints on the kind of alternatives the app might have for different resolutions.
- xlarge qualifier for resources: also affects alternate resources used by the apps (tipically for tablets / devices with big screens); see previous item.
-Apply res to widgets: normally, resources are only manipulated when being loaded by the application itself. If this is activated, they will also be manipulated when loaded by other apps, which is the typical situation when a Launcher presents widgets from other apps.
- Locale: the language used by the app for loading resources, formatting numbers and dates, etc.; you can use this for apps that do include translations but don't give you an option of using a different language than your global one.
- Fullscreen: you can force an app to always use fullscreen (hiding the statusbar only, not the navigation bar for devices that have it) or never use it; on KitKat Immersive mode can also be activated.
- No title: hides the title bar, gaining more space for the actual contents. Note that many apps might crash if they're relying on some elements of the titlebar to be there.
- Keep screen on: If set, the screen won't dim or turn off after the inactivity period whenever this app is on the foreground. Remember not to put the device on your pocket with the app active.
- Show when locked: Display this app's screen on top of the lockscreen, without requiring e.g. the PIN to be entered (dangerous). Note that you'll have to find a way (somewhere else) to open the app from the lockscreen, depending on the kind of app.
- Resident in memory: If set, the system will try much harder to keep the app in memory even when you leave it. It might make the app more responsive when reopening but will also consume more RAM, possibly slowing down the overall system.
- No fullscreen IME: prevents the keyboard from taking up the entire fullscreen when in landscape mode.
- Orientation: Override the orientation settings build into the app. You can force "normal behavior" (rotate according to the device settings, even if the developer hardcoded a specific orientation), "always portrait", "always landscape" or "force auto" (use the sensors even if the auto-rotate system setting is off). Additional options exist for forced reversing the portrait or landscape orientations, use the sensor so they can be inverted by tilting the device, 4-way rotation, and forced rotation but respecting the user setting (locked / auto-rotate).
- Insistent notifications: If active, the sounds used by any of the app's raised notifications will loop endlessly. Danger of depleting the battery (and annoying crowds) if you're not around when it starts playing the sound.
- No big notifications: Prevent notifications to have an alternate layout for the "expanded" mode; it will always be collapsed and can't even be expanded manually
- Ongoing notifications: Force or prevent notifications from the app to be marked as Ongoing (non dismissable)
- Notifications priority: This is the relative importance of the notifications and, depending on the ROM, influence the visibility of their icons on the statusbar, their order on the list, etc.
- Show in recents: You can prevent the app from showing on the Recents list, or force it to appear.
- Mute audio: Prevents all sound from being played from the app. If videos are played, they will be muted. (this doesn't work for all apps, due to technical limitations on the system)
- Force legacy menu button: For devices that don't have a physical menu button, menu entries will usually appear on the far right of the Action Bar. With this option, the 3-dot button will be displayed on the navbar and the menu options will appear there.
- Revoke permissions: selectively block permissions requested by the app. Needless to say, depending on the permission and the app, it's very likely that it will start failing; don't expect revoking INTERNET or READ_CONTACTS and having the apps continuing to work every time - most of them will fail unless the developer anticipated this kind of permission denials
Some of the features that help you manage the settings for each app:
Search / filter apps
- by name or package
- by type (user/system)
- by state (enabled/disabled)
- by applied settings: global state, overridden or unchanged state for each setting
Shortcuts for app actions on the main list or on the individual settings screen
- launch app (main launcher activity)
- go to system settings screen (uninstall, clear data, ...)
- Play Store link (if applicable)
Display list of recent apps and jump directly to their configuration
The app can be killed when saving settings, so they can take effect immediately after relaunch instead of requiring a reboot.
What the mod CAN'T / WON'T do
The settings you can define for each app won't add functionality that simply isn't there, such as:
- adding tablet / large screen layouts
- using languages for which no resources are included in the app
- display "properly" in portrait or landscape mode
- operate flawlessly on top of the lockscreen
- keep working as expected (whatever that means to you) even after you revoke permissions
Not only these would be not possible to implement in an app-independent way, it's also beyond the scope of this particular module.
If you're familiar with the Xposed Framework, you're probably aware that lots of things can be tweaked or added to specific apps.
However, unless it's:
- generic behavior that can be applied to most apps
- relatively easy to implement
then don't bother requesting App Settings to provide it.
If it does obey these 2 conditions, then by all means suggest it (preferably with code contributions / pull requests).
Installation
Requirements:
- Xposed Framework 2.2 or newer; 2.6 or newer starting with AppSettings 1.9
- ICS (4.0.3) or newer (up to 4.4); this is not only a requirement for the framework, but also for this module due to the hooked APIs
Download:
The installation can be performed from within Xposed Framework by browsing the repository and finding the "App Settings" entry. Any updates will also appear there.
Alternatively, the repository entry can be browsed directly at http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.mods.appsettings
Usage of this thread
This thread serves primarily to publish updates to the module, report bugs and suggest or discuss new features (user or developer-wise).
You can also use it to share and discuss your experiences with tweaking specific apps (e.g. resources settings, revoked permissions, etc.) - but I must warn that you should not expect feedback from me on that matter.
Quite frankly, I'm not that much of a smartphone heavy user, and I'm not willing to install loads of apps on my device in order to experiment and achieve ideal configurations for *you* to use. That's what the community is here for, though so feel free to discuss this on the thread.

Development
Authors: @rovo89 and @Tungstwenty
Sources: https://github.com/rovo89/XposedAppSettings
History: The foundations of this module were created by @rovo89 as a hidden feature within his Tweakbox module, which was the first daily-use mod taking advantage of the (then new) Xposed framework and somewhat of a showcase for it. By directly editing the xml settings file, it was possible to change the dpi, screen dimensions and language for an app's loaded resources.
Eventually it got promoted to its own standalone mod once a minimal UI was built to edit the configuration and more and more settings were added. It was promoted and discussed on @pulser_g2's Making Stock Custom ROMs Defunct thread and the repository he was kind enough to setup and administer some time ago.
Since it's been pretty stable for a while - both in robustness and in expected update frequency - and Xposed Framework now has repository functionality, it has come the time to create a dedicated thread for this and also bump the version to 1.x with the latest added features.

Ooo... Prevent full screen. :good:
I also noticed a significant improvement in load time as it's not scanning the entire list of apps every time. Also :good:
Edit: And my smaller screen size apps (Screen (dp)) don't look funny anymore. :good:
Edit: Also I thought this already had its own thread.
Individual brightness
Thanks for this fantastic module!
This Must Have and great module has now finally its own thread, it's perfect! :good:
Not much to say ... Smart, easy, effective, nice update ...
I have only one wish:
Is it possible to add individual brightness?
3 choices:
- System default setting (checked by default)
- Auto brightness
- Individual level
I think that would be great!!!

I guess it is a good thing I didn't ask you about tabletui...
Thanks for the update!
Good Module and yes nice update.
Keep work alive.
sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped..
Im on a 4.3 rom if that has anything to do with it, but the setting dot take effect at all ?
It requires restart application to take effect. Close application from task manager and restart again.

Tried that no luck cuz I even restart the phone which would close the app all together. I will try again

Check the "About" panel. Do you see red text with "Note: ..."? If yes, then the module isn't running; activate it on XposedInstaller and reboot.
Otherwise, when saving the settings for an app (you're pressing the save button, right?) answer YES to the prompt on whether to kill the app or not, so that the settings take effect the next time it's started.
There's only a couple of exceptions for special packages which do require a reboot, such as "android" (obviously) and perhaps SystemUI (which might cause system hangs or not close at all)

Yeah I'm doing everything right I've used this many a time before and had this issue with older versions. I know there was something I had to do with permissions which solved problem but I forgot.

Great Module.
I use it to change the locale of google now to my native language without having to change the system language too. Without this app google now would never talk with me in my native language.
A feature request:
Some apps (at least "Unicon" or "Lux") have the ability to show Notifications without showing a icon in the statusbar. Would it be possible to force this for other apps too with app settings? The notification should be in the list but without a icon in the statusbar.

Same here
I like all my systems (PC, phone, etc.) in English language, but there are some apps like Maps or Local News that need to be changed in order to provide local contents or audio

Apparently this seems to be possible on JB 4.1 and above: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2855110/android-no-icon-for-notification
I'll add this to the wishlist.
Hi Everyone,
I'm working on a project on android tablet, and I need to limit some android and device feature.
We wrote apps and specific launcher which can intercept a lot of intent to limit access, but with newer version of android (since kitkat)
our solution doesn't work anymore, and the user is able to quit the specific launcher or the launched app.
I need some advice, before developping a limited ROM.
Specs :
1 - Disable device action (LongPress on switchOff)
2 - Disable message notification (Low Bat, SignalLost, ...)
3 - Hide the navigation bar
4 - Preload apps / Remove some apps
The limitation, is justified by the fact that human mistake shouldn't fail the device and the running apps
For the points 1 and 4. I read some tutorial that mention how to reaffect actions for a keycode, and which apps can be deleted in system/apps.
I need your help for point 2 and 3.
Thanks
XDArnaud
For #3, one easy way is to disable SystemUI. This will get rid of the status bar and navigation bar, and disable recents. It may also solve #2, though I'm not 100% sure.
Just make sure to DISABLE SystemUI (i.e. from Settings->Applications), don't delete it. Disabling will stop the app itself from starting but allow it to be available for other apps which need it to exist. Deleting may cause your device to fail to boot.
Thank you so much kived, thats a good hint you gave me
I will test this in the few days, and try to disable this automatically after boot.
After that I'll just have to limit access to settings app to avoid user to enable it.
Will I have to deodex the ROM and replace the default settings.apk by mine ? or just adding settings.apk in app and android will launch mine.
Thx
XDArnaud
They're hidden so...
How do I get in there to turn off the Online Chat settings, aka RCS.
I remembered reading in an article that if you're receiving a bunch of fake phishery spam messages it's more than likely coming from online through RCS, which makes sense to me.
So how can we turn that setting off and make to only send SMS by default.
Ever since a few updates ago I don't see any additional settings or options for online or chat settings.
Ooops nevermind now I suddenly found it. I swear awhile ago I didn't have that option.

- Gboard flags import/export/edit
- Gboard preferences import/export/edit
- 3rd party theme repos support
- System Click sounds customization
