For as long as I've been a member here, I don't think I've ever started two threads in one day in a Dev section that I was so unsure belonged in the dev section... so Mods, please forgive if this is in the wrong place.

I thought it would be helpful to get a running list of apps that can be frozen with Titanium that won't cause any FC's or other problems. I'm a bit extreme with this, I think, compared to most... I tend to freeze (or remove) a LOT of stuff.... but so far I haven't caused any problems. Here is my list:

So far, so good. And I've little doubt that much more can be removed... on my Dinc, I always ran a Sense ROM, but I'd run them REALLY lean. I will be experimenting more with what can be removed and will update the list as I do...

EDIT: Froze quite a few more apps, still no FC's or other issues, here are the additional ones...

[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
Good looking out! Looks like i can freeze a couple more! :)
[HTC Rezound] UHF3:
Thanks for testing all of that and posting the list.
[HTC Rezound] bigdwg71:
Do these apps re-install after a reboot like others are reporting with temp root or does "freezing" have better results than deleting?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Freezing them sticks after reboots. It is almost as good as removing them.

But OP, you really went to town on the freezing.
[HTC Rezound] jackie_treehorn:
Thanks for testing these! Appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
hahah I said in the first post, I freeze a LOT of stuff. You can freeze as few or as many of those apps as you need, I just wanted to guinea pig it and see what would crash, so far no issues.

As mentioned above, freezing DOES stick after a reboot. However, unlike freezing on a fully rooted device, freezing here doesn't remove the apps' market links, and doesnt remove them from the apps list in settings. It DOES remove them from the app drawer and keep them from running, which is what matters :)
[HTC Rezound] bigdwg71:
I just tried to freeze apps with "Bloat Freezer Free" and most of the apps came back after a reboot. Is everyone else using Titanium? Does it "freeze" apps differently?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
I've only ever used Titanium to freeze apps but you need the pro version. WELL worth the money, this app has proven very useful.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Added almost 20 more apps...
[HTC Rezound] clos101:
I need to have temp root going to make this happen, right?

I'm on a Mac. Loving the rezound so far even without root .
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
yep must have temp root and using Titanium or something equivalent
[HTC Rezound] Mr. Clown:
I'm moving this to the App section since it is more related to that section.
[HTC Rezound] XOAngio:
Thanks for this list, but have you tried removing any, if possible?
[HTC Rezound] wstcoaster07:
Bluetooth busted?

Trying to troubleshoot it but I froze most of the apps from your first list but noticed this afternoon I could not get my Bluetooth to turn on. Could be a coincidence but any chance freezing one of those apps could cause that?
[HTC Rezound] dski165:
trying to get mine to temp root it self would cause BT to quit working

reboot would fix it most of the time
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
I don't think any of the apps I listed would cause BT to stop working. I did try to remove an app once and it crashed Titanium. I figure without S-OFF that's not going to be happening any time soon, since we can't get the /system/ folder mounted in R/W.
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
Thanks for this. I loaded my own task manager and I couldn't believe all the junk that autostarts on boot. This cut down on that signficantly!

Now I just can't wait for a debloated ROM to come out. :D
[HTC Rezound] bigroof:
Which task manager did you load?
[HTC Rezound] psouza4:
You can use App Quarantine:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ramdroid.appquarantine

Free and does the same thing -- I've used it on my Rezound (I have Titanium Backup as well, but this has a lighter footprint and our temp root is finicky).
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I found the same thing. Full reboot fixed it.

Dumped down the interwebs from my HTC Rezound via XDA Premium
[HTC Rezound] Unreadhyperion:
Got it! Thanks ;)
[HTC Rezound] NoNotReally:
Don't try to freeze the Mail Widget. If I try I lose root.
[HTC Rezound] babydreamer1520:
thanks alot for the effort. Keep up the good work
[HTC Rezound] DrSadistic:
This may sound like a dumb question to some out there, but does freezing these apps have any impact on battery life?
[HTC Rezound] koszor:
im going to try and freeze video surf and see if i get FC, seeing how it is under the verizon section its bloat!

off topic but how can i change the bottom dock bar on the home screen? id rather have other things their then app launcher, phone, and personalize (which really doesnt personalize anything)

im going to say yes, on the fact that some bloat runs in memory however, its prbly minimal
[HTC Rezound] DrSadistic:
I think a home replacement app is the only way until s-off is achieved.
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
has anyone tried to freeze video surf or voice mail?? i use google voice for voice mail thats why i ask. i know the messaging app has a tab for voice mail so i am thinking that it may cause the messaging app to force close?
[HTC Rezound] NoNotReally:
You can freeze videosurf without problems. I'll try freezing voice mail right now sine I actually use google voice myself. Be back in five minutes.

Edit: Can't seem to get root at the moment. adb and HTC sync couldn't find my phone at first and now even though they can the zergrush won't take. Not sure what's up since I got it to work at least a dozen times yesterday.
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
Alright thank you. And I had that same problem myself. For some reason sync wasn't working so I had to reinstall it and then it worked.

Edit: I froze scan as well and haven't had any force closes if the OP wants to add it.

I didn't see it anywhere in the thread
[HTC Rezound] Mooselips:
I froze Video Surf, no problems there. I did froze voice mail on my thunderbolt, and it was ok, the tab for it disappeared in the messaging app, that's all.
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
Yea I went ahead and just tried it since I know if worst comes to worst I can just reset the phone from hboot
[HTC Rezound] Tenchi4U:
Using zerg rush temp-root and titanium BU, I was able to freeze HTC Sense with seemingly no ill effects (that I've noticed so far...YMMV + caveat emptor). Looked for Sense service using SystemPanel Lite and Watchdog, did not find Sense after reboot.

Keep in mind, I do have LPP as my default launcher. I forget the exact name of the item in the BU list, It was the one that read [DESKTOP] (or maybe it was [BACKGROUND]) HTC Sense (with the white clock and clouds as the icon) -

NOT

the 'com.htc 2.3.4' item.

I did it last night, so my memory is a little hazy on the details (and I don't feel like re-temprooting just to figure out the exact item entry). I'll prob work on slowly freezing the other ambiguously named HTC items and see how it goes..and try to record the exact names. Wanted to test it for a day of "normal" use, so far, so good (yes, it is faster in my mind at least).
[HTC Rezound] Itismetravis:
sounds awesome.......anyone else try this?
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
I will tomorrow just because I run adw ex as my launcher now
[HTC Rezound] Tenchi4U:
I am NOT recommending you do this, merely reporting on what I've frozen on my phone without any side-effects relative to MY usage - proceed at your own risk and please read ENTIRE post first (there are some negligible gotchas at the bottom).

Here is what I've frozen so far without issues (

!!!!IMPORTANT!!!! I either do NOT use these items or use other apps/methods in lieu of these items, thus allowing me to freeze them and not get any issues in MY NORMAL USAGE. If you use any of these items or an app or service that does have a dependency on any of these items, you MAY get an error/FC/explosion/etc.

If your phone bricks, melts, has an erection that lasts for more than 5 hours, explodes, joins Al-Qaeda (and then explodes) - do not blame me (but please re-read the disclaimer at the top of this post). Just b/c you CAN do something doesn't always mean you SHOULD. ;)

IF YOU ARE UNSURE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU NEED THE ITEM OR WHAT THE ITEM DOES, SAFEST TO JUST LEAVE IT UNFROZEN.

My observations :

- I have approx ~400mb free at boot

- it seems as smooth as LPP allows it to be.

- if you are using LPP, I recommend doing the LPP backup prior to reboot and restoring afterwards
[HTC Rezound] Tenchi4U:
UPDATE:

Switched to ADW Launcher EX to solve post-reboot login issue. Something to do with LPP.

Freezing of apps will continue later today.

[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
can we delete these with rootexplorer or do you recommend just freezing with TB? is it the same thing?
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
If you're planning on being able to update to ICS with OTA whenever it's available, this will allow you to by simply unfreezing them. It just makes it easier than having to install them all again or flashing the stock image again, just so you can update it when the time comes.

[HTC Rezound] Djay1809:
What exactly is the difference in freezing and removing.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Freezing them keeps them, but disables them, as well as removing them from the App drawer. Read my post a few posts up on reasons for keeping them. If you remove bloatware or system apps, you can't updates straight from an OTA update unless you restore all of those missing applications. That's why some people just freeze them. If you're going to flash other ROMs, this doesn't apply, since you're wiping your phone anyway.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrw1215:
So I finally took the plunge and rooted; I installed CM7, as well as an updated kernel (I think it was from "imoysen", or something like that?), though I'm still kinda shaky on these concepts. So I have a few questions.

First of all, on CM7, it appears that I don't have a voicemail app anymore. Previously, after installing CM7, I was missing the Android Market app (as well as other Google apps), and someone instructed me to flash GAPPS, which got these back for me. Am I going to have to do the same for voicemail?

Secondly, back when I was on stock, I like using Fancy Widgets and/ or Beautiful Widgets to get Sense-lock clocks (but with more themes). I'm noticing now, on CM7, though, that none of them are able to pick up my location for weather. Why is that, and how do I fix it?

Lastly, and this is one that I'm VERY curious about, now that I'm rooted, is there any way to make headphones with controls originally made for iPhones (the ones with volume +/-, and a middle button) work with the Thunderbolt? I know they don't work on stock because it's an Apple proprietary thing, or whatever, but is there a way to get them working on a rooted device?

Thanks much to anyone that can answer any of my questions.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattG987:
No idea on Voicemail; I've only used Sense-based ROMs. I would assume that there are multiple voicemail apps available (but you could just use Google Voice, and avoid ever having to listen to voicemails! text message transcriptions of voicemails are much better)

Weather Location: In Settings -> Location, make sure you have location services enabled. Also make sure you have syncing enabled in Accounts&Sync.

As for the headphones, check out https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headsetbutton&hl=en

You'll notice, however, in the description:

So you'll only get 1 button worth of control.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrw1215:
Hm. Well, in CM7, I don't see any kind of setting for "Location", nor is there anything for it in Accounts & Sync. I know when I was first trying to get it to work, I stumbled upon some settings for location, but even when I had everything enabled, it still wasn't picking up my location.

Bummer about the headphones... I have a really nice set that I like a lot, I just wish the three buttons worked with Android.
