Does anyone know ALL the files that need to be renamed (safely of course, don't wanna touch anything that might cause a problem) in order to prevent OTA updates?

I have multiple users running rooted versions with bloat removed. I want to control when any updates are done.

Freezing Yahoo FC Contacts / Freezing Email 2.3.5 FC Calendar Edits

As noted above but separated my a number of posts, so a reiteration--I also found that freezing the Yahoo .apks messed up Contacts, and freezing the Email 2.3.5 .apks (I use Gmail) caused Calendar to FC when editing or entering events.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] techusky:
It looks like you can successfully freeze "Yahoo Calendar Service 2.3.5" and "Yahoo Contacts 2.3.5" and not have your contacts app FC when you click on a contact.

The Yahoo app that causes FC's when frozen is "Yahoo! Mail Authenticator 2.3.5".
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tbcpn:
That also works for me.

Sorta conversely, with regard to Calendar FC, the only stock Email apks that I've been able to freeze are the Email Authenticator 2..3.5, FixedEmail Authenticator 2.3.5 and Email Accounts 0.9--freezing Email 2.3.5 and Email Engine 2.3.5 apks will FC Calendar on my Razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Does anyone know what causes this? It's REALLY annoying.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
maybe cause ur status bar icons list is full? bad thin bout razr is, it uses carrier name on status bar, which hogs up space..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
nope, even with no notifications. it has to do with something being frozen...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] panimat:
So I did something really dumb... I accidentally deleted the IMSCServer 1.0 service and now I'm not getting 3G or 4g. I did back it up before deleting it but when I'm going to restore it, it just hangs on the restore dialog.

Am I the first person to do this??? Is there anyway to reinstall??

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
Put it where you deleted it from and apply permissions - should work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] panimat:
Thanks for the response!

So I think I might be missing a file.. When I use root explorer, I see a file called com.motorola.android.server.ims.apk in my /system.apps folder, but I dont see a com.motorola.android.server.imx.odex file.

When I look at my TB backup for IMSCserver, I only see an .apk file

I was doing some research on the DroidForums site (this system wont let me post a link until I have 6 posts) but someone did something similar for their Bionic, and they said they had to restore both an .apk and .odex file.

Can someone with a RAZR check this for me? It would be really great if someone pulled these two files for me, and see if I replace them that way, it can work.

Many thanks in advance for anyone's help!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giiar:
To Panimat

Repying to Panimat

All you need to do is download the razr system dump. I think there's a thread for it on this site. After that just copy the missing files back in your system/app folder. Dont forget to change the permissions as well.

Btw, if my comment helped anyone please hit thanks. I'm on a race with a friend to see who gets 20 thanks, so far i'm behind.

What is the name of this lock screem apps.

Thank you :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
Not possible.

Use AntiLock or similar instead

erased...sorry my commwnt was wrong so removed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aisaev:
Guys, I have previously described problem with FC on trying to see contacts. I made a full backup with TB prior to uninstalling apps, so I tried to restore Yahoo Contacts 2.3.5 and Yahoo Mail Authenticator 2.3.5 after discovering the problem - with no luck, when I try to restore it it gives me a popup asking whether I want to restore app only or App+Data, and no matter what I select it shows the "Restoring App" box with the name of application and just sits there, so I have to kill it, eventually.

Can anyone share necessary files I can put into /system/app, similar to what describe here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16998796&postcount=5?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Magikx21:
Facebook force close

I am trying to get my Facebook contacts to sync so I added my Facebook account in the My Accounts section but everytime I click on it I get FC for process.com.motorola.setup. Any idea which app would cause this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bullswife98:
Did anyone figure this out yet cuz all I froze was apps that we're Verizon apps and I had this happen as well. So its gotta be an app related to Verizon but which one?

Sent from my Rooted XT912 Razr! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lewi3069:
I did this also. Tried a reset didnt do a damn thing. Found the system dump copied the apk and the odex to the /system/app. Used root explorer to change the permissions to -rw-r-r and changed ownership and group to root(0)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davidws:
I mistakenly froze Systemportal and had an FC loop that prevented me from going back to unfreeze it.

Amazingly a reboot fixed it, how odd
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
Removing yahoo or any blur branded apk's destroys the dialer and contacts apps. You can't make phone calls.

I've settled with removing maps and gotomeeting.

Restoring owner and permissions does NOT fix the app like some here claim. That is for the Droid 3, apparently the razr doesn't like system tinkering.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] omidajunglist:
Does any one know what would cause the phone to reboot after opening the gallery....i frooze all the apps on the list pretty much...any help would be awesome
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
Unfreeze everything and freeze one at a time instead.

But for gallery, probably flickr and other authenticators, since gallery grabs pictures from the web.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
+1

I didn't freeze those and I don't have any issues.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TehWhale:
Is it safe to freeze My Files and My Gallery? I don't use either as I have quickpic and root explorer. They run in the background and I don't use them.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
Yes, you can free My Files and My Gallery. The only slight issue with Quickpic is possibly applying pics as wallpaper.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] omidajunglist:
I got it working, one of the videos/pics i ported over from my old phone was corrupt, figured this out after i factory rest the phone. But I am up and running now, thank you for your help

No Issues so far, I just unfroze all the yahoo since I didn't look to see which one caused the contacts FC. Generally I just really like freezing the apps that continuously start up for no reason.

We really need to get an updated OP with the list so folks dont need to scroll through the tread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milkshed27:
The only problem with freezing My Gallery is that if you use the stock camera app, you won't be able to view pictures you just took from within the camera app by clicking on the top left hand preview.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ralphie0108:
I've lost MotoCast but I haven't frozen it?? Which app ties to it??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bullswife98:
I still would like to know if anyone has solved this issue as I can't figure out why I'm not reviving any notifications on my texts. Anyone???

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
Double check your "freezes" with my post above. I have no issues whats so ever. I get all notifications.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TehWhale:
I know why, if you froze any of the Email* apps, it'll cause that. Tried it for myself.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

Actually it's Email Engine 2.3.5 is the culprit, every other Email*.apk is safe to freeze

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

In other news, here's my list:

I can confirm text message notifications work, calendar app does not force close when adding a new event, contacts does not force close when clicking a number/name either. As far as I can tell everything works normally.

When uninstalling/freezing these (I have uninstalled them all) Webtop 1.0 will cause a constant force close until you reboot (I'd do this one last) via Power+VolDown+VolUp. After that everything is fine. MOTOACTV will also cause a single force close when uninstalling, but this doesn't seem to affect anything afterwards and everything is running stable.

I kept some things like Twitter Auth because I use Twitter (and wasn't sure if it would fail if I froze/uninstalled it). It's safe to freeze/uninstall though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tumbleweed65:
I also froze inpocket 2.3.5

It's a bad battery killer and have had no issues in 2 days with it frozen
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heavyhms:
Which apk should be frozen to disable smart actions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
From tb, smart actions and probably smart profiles 1.0 , I would guess. Or just delete all your profiles.

Is everyone using TiBackup? Or are there other good apps to use to freeze and/or remove these processes?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:
I'm using MYBackup Pro. I bought it way back when I had an Eris phone. I have also owned Titanium Backup but once I realized MYBackup Pro froze apps I haven't tried to locate my license file for Ti Backup.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jtsativa420:
I have used others but only tbu restores all data perfectly for me like colors for background and text in my txt app.

Other apps restore most like user names etc. That's just my take on it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:
I've frozen Email Engine and I have no issue receiving texts or notifications for them, FYI
[Motorola Droid RAZR] thegsxr1000kid:
i use Rom Tool Box to freeze or remove:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kalric:
I downloaded TTB lastnight and froze everything BUT Email Engine 2.3.5, and the speed difference is amazing!!

Thanks for the list!! I'm experimenting with some of the others that I don't use...but backing up first. I actually deleted the NFL, VZNavigator and other crap that I'll never use.

Phone is running smooooooth now.

Thanks again!!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] larrygeary:
You shouldn't delete the bloat applications until we're sure we won't be getting any more OTA updates. They require every little evil app be in place or they'll refuse to continue. Also, there is no point in freezing apps that don't start up by themselves, except to get them out of sight. If you use GO Launcher (I don't know about others) you can consolidate all the bloat apps in the app drawer into one folder you'll barely notice.

For applications you DO use but which keep running when you don't want them, try Autostarts in the market. This app shows you every event that an app has hooked itself to and lets you selectively disable those hooks so the app doesn't start up unless you start it. There are only one or two apps that seem immune - the native Task Manager being one.

I froze the EXACT same stuff as I did above (on 2.3.5) and now my phone will not boot past the boot animation :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dccoh:
I have removed a ton of bloat, but not exactly as the list above. I've had no issues yet, and hit over 53 hours on a charge as a matter of fact.

Hope you get yours working

On a side note: Just saw you avatar, over 100 gig? Wow. But anyway, is that your avatar to brag about data usage, or to show you know how to watch/listen/or download alot ? :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
I ended up doing a factory reset.

Figured I could do that, reroot, reinstall bootstrap and load a backup file..

Both my backup files failed and are not working :(

Looks like I get to start from scratch on my phone

haha I was just trying to see how much data i could use without tethering. On a normal month i use 6-10GB :)\

Can you post a list of the processes you froze for 2.3.6?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] guyhoang:
Is it ok if I backup the apps, then uninstall them? I can then reinstall the apps when I update software.

For some reason I still see updates in the market when I freeze apps. So I'd rather uninstall.

Edit: To answer my own question, it doesn't seem that TiBu can restore system apps on the Razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nednarb:
does anyone have the universal inbox apk's. i need both if anyone can provide them that would be great. thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
Anyone have a list for 6.12.173 (2.3.6)?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] foxkat:
Regarding the WIFI and Smart Actions debacle, I found a simple solution for those faced with that dilemma. Instead of using Smart Actions to turn on WIFI, download and install Verizon WIFI Auto On. Then set locations on the Verizon app that have known WIFI available to you, such as "Home", "Work", "Starbucks", "Library", etc. Then when you are nearing or within range of those hotspots, Verizon WIFI Auto On will trigger WIFI for you.

This will allow any Smart Actions that are location based to function normally, and since you can then be specific to create only location based actions that will operate in those hotspot zones, you will have effectively worked around that problem. When you leave those locations, a short time later the Auto On tool will turn WIFI off, conserving battery for you.

For me it's cut the use of the battery considerably during the day when I am no where near a known hotspot.

Obviously it won't "give you WIFI" for areas that don't have WIFI, but you can also set locations which don't have WIFI that you still want the location agent in Smart Actions to work in. It will simply turn WIFI on, the Smart Action will function, and when you leave the area the Smart Action will reverse, followed by the Verizon WIFI Auto On turning off the WIFI. :)

Hi everyone, quick question. I've frozen and removed a number of apps, but I can't get rid of backup assistant completely. Most of the settings menu entries are removed, but "Backup Assistant + Media" is still there. Are there any additional apps that need to be removed or frozen to get rid of that completely?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
As far as I know your can not rid it completely; its also kinda a part of blur... you will need a custom ROM to remove it all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
just a quick note: even if u dont use Motocast, don't freeze them. if u do, music and library and files apps will force close.

if u got alternative to all of those, then by all means.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TrippleT:
Motocast is frozen...everything works fine...!?!?!?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CheesySeb:
I don't freeze the apps, as I haven't bought TiBu, I just use ES File Explorer, navigate to system/app and rename from .APK to .APKx and leave the odex in place... et voila. Apps disappear instantly from my app drawer and resources.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rubenswing:
care to share the list of apps u removed :)

Last night the dead area of my screen appeared to have grown as I could not unlock it.

[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
I just came back with my atrix 2 and rooted once again. I reinstalled my backed up apps on the device with titanium backup pro. Everything installed fine and I restart the device. The device loads up fine and now my home button and search button are broke. I can click them and the phone will vibrate but no action follows. Anything I can do before I go and install everyone all over one at a time?
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Damn bro you having some bad luck! Are you backing up everything with TiBa or just the apps. Can't understand it breaking them buttons though. Maybe a factory reset? I quit using TiBa on my OG ATRIX due to having a lot of problems to, made me a app list and found it a lot easier to just go download them again versus the headache with TiBa. Good luck!
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
I went ahead and installed all of the apps from scratch. Fixed the problems it seems
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pirateghost:
how did you RESTORE your apps??

NEVER do a batch restore ALL apps, only do restore MISSING apps
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
I tried that as well, still messed up both buttons. I never had any issues using the Captivate with Titanium Backup. I'm guessing TB will eventually do some testing and release an update with it being compatible? Ended up factory restoring the device 4 times and just gave up... oh well.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
*Face Palm* Dead LCD pixel?

Holy crap I can't win with this device at all. Just spent over 2 hours getting the device set back up after Best Buy replaced. Now I have a friggin dead pixel... going to look for a program that maybe can unfreeze the dead pixel.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Hope you get the kinks worked out, but with a dead pixel I'd probably make that trip to BB again LoL. Good luck :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
I have never had an issue batch restoring apps with MyBackup, just make sure to restore apk's first then their data.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pirateghost:
i have not had a problem restoring my apps+data on Titanium. it never did as you described with my buttons. i dont think its titanium thats the problem. likely an app that you had or something wrong with the hardware
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
I was thinking that as well... If I need to restore again I'm going to install small groups with TB instead of all at once. Nothing too serious but I know my wife gave me some crazy eyes after I spit out a ton a swear words.
