[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nut_House:
Currently running freeza's S-fre ROM with most of the apps listed in this post removed and am now getting amazing battery life. Most of the day, I'm connected to good wireless LANs and charge first thing every day. When I wake up, before plugging in the charger I'll have 65-70% remaining. That's with moderate to light usage during the day and a couple of hours of heavy browsing in the evening. YMMV, but it's working great for me.

Big thanks :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MarkEv0:
Yes most is Samsung bloat, only two or three are Sprint apps. just back up before deleting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] procter:
I followed this list but now my battery drain is insane. Is there any battery related software getting removed in this list.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] !crazy:
Do you have BetterBatteryStats? If possible install it and the fourth check partial wakelocks to see what is draining the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] twig49:
Thank you to the OP.

I just added some of these to the cold storage list (frozen) as I like to err on the side of caution before I delete anything.

No issues so far as to how I use the device.

No increase in quadrant score (used only as a control standard) and will monitor battery.

Note: For mine, I had to thaw USB settings in order for the Laptop to see the phone and card storage.

With USB settings frozen, it saw the device, just not the storage.

Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rupintart:
AWESOME! I always try to run my phone as lean as possible since all I really use it for is a phone, calendar, texting, an alarm, and web browsing. I don't use all the other crap. After finding your thread it almost seemed like this thread was tailored EXACTLY to my needs! I even liked your keyboard suggestion and switched to it. There's 2-3 things I didn't freeze cause I use those features, but for the most part I froze everything on your list.

My only thing is that I use talk-to-text. When I was driving and went to use talk-to-text the first time, it came up with some pop-up saying "google collaborates with..." something about how talk to text works. I wasn't paying attention to it since I was driving and figured I could figure it out later. Since I didn't delete anything and just froze what was on your list, what would I need to unfreeze for my talk to text to work again? I tied the two obvious ones "talk" and "talkback" but those didn't restore the feature. Any ideas?

Thanks again for the awesome list!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slomodrop:
I *think* clearing cache and dalvik then rebooting can kill residual widgets but not sure.

As for your additional deletions, I see you removed Gallery - doesn't that kill your ability to send a snapshot or screenshot as an MMS? Also, won't YouTube simply reinstall itself as part of Google services assuming you want the ability to use the Play Store?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adamdelozier:
This original list is from a while back. Has anyone gone back through the list recently? I am on MD4 and might be doing a trial and error run on what else Sprint has added that we can remove without consequence.

Great thread, just what I was looking for after updating to a stock TW ROM. A MD4 update would be great and much appreciated.

Thanks for the list, it proved very helpful. My S3 is actually running at the speed it should again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Why would it be different than this one which already exists?

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimMan:
I know the OP states using TB to remove, could I not use a app to freeze them instead?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Yea, you can freeze them. It's always safer to freeze first just in case.

Can we get an updated list for 4.3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JupiterOne:
Awesome list thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fedtho:
Went through your list after updating my S3 to 4.3 .

The phone seems a lot snappier now, big thanks for this !!!

(I had followed the suggestions of a previous list, but this one has a lot on it I hadn't yet thrown out.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pWEN:
Glad that was helpful for you! My list was for prior to 4.3, so it's likely not 100% accurate. Can't really verify that, I'm afraid, as I used this pre-rooted stock ROM to install 4.3 on my phone, and it already had a great deal of stuff stripped out.

Edit: I'm a derp, thought I was replying to someone who was looking at the Verizon S3 list I had compiled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fedtho:
There were indeed a couple of apps that showed a later version number, just by a couple of steps (like 1.8 vs 1.4, I can't remember an exact instance.) I thought I could throw them out - uh, actually I've only *frozen* the apps so far and already seen much improvement. As I'm still on warranty, I'd rather not root my phone just now, but I'll come back to that in due time ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dherre65:
Don't know your location, but hey: http://matija.suklje.name/rooting-and-flashing-your-device-does-not-void-the-warranty-in-eu
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fedtho:
Wow, thanks! Makes for interesting reading.

Of course, I live in Switzerland, a country that is holding ever ongoing "bilaterlal" negociations with the EU; in this case, Swiss law, if decent, garantees the "consumer" quite a bit less prerogatives than EU consumers enjoy, and it's anything but clear if rooting your phone and/or flashing it with a new mod could be considered as something that was or wasn't an acceptable action to undertake.

if you're curious: search on "englishforum.ch" for the article "2year-warranty-eu-directive-1999-44-ec-switzerland-iphone" (I just discovered I haven't posted here 10 times yet, so I can't give you the actual link...)

the most revealing passage saying:

"(There was a) parliamentary initiative in 1999, which suggested that Switzerland adopts a similar consumer protection law (to the EU's). Well, Switzerland did not."

Once more, thanks for pointing to that link!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pWEN:
That is interesting. It's quite the opposite here in the US, from my understanding. Cell phone service providers dictate what gets to be on a phone, and the consumer just has to suck it up and deal with it, or void their warranty to do what THEY want with THEIR phone. I'm dropping Verizon to go with T-Mobile and a Nexus 5, but that means I have to give up my Galaxy S3, so I won't be of much use in this thread any longer. (Assuming I ever was! :p )

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mwrobe1:
Just wanted to show my appreciation for a "ye-olde" thread. I have referred to this list once I've obtained root on my ATT GS3 on JB1, NE4 and now NJ1.

I'm one that believes that REMOVAL is a step above freezing re: Samsung and ATT system apps...this list has served as a pretty good guideline throughout the years. I mostly run rooted stock. I always take a nandroid backup immediately post root, post root with root enabled apps and customizations installed and then one more with ALL the above plus post sys app removal. Saves ALOT of heartache.

Thx again! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Yong_Uno:
why i using System App Remove (root) remove something like you , after that i go to recovery and wipe cache , reboot and its stuck at samsung logo ?? gt-i9305 4.4.4
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hotsammysliz:
Hey everyone I tried doing some searching but these words are pretty common so I couldn't find much.

The problem is that I know that by pressing and holding the menu button I get to the search function but the problem is that it doesn't give me the launch menu like it did on my S2 t989 for example when I held the search key on my S2 t989 a "which app would you like to do this in" menu would come up that would give me direct access to apps like shazam, soundhound, and screencast. Is that feature completely gone or do I have to enable a setting or something for this? I really loved having that menu there.

Also another question about the search function that does come up. It does not seem to be the same full search function from before but only for the web. I used to be able to search the apps that are actually on my phone and launch them through that menu as well. Is that possible anymore or has that been disabled too?

Don't get me wrong I LOVE this phone so much I just miss those couple little things. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thank crapple for the change in search function. If you are rooted go to /system/app and find GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk. renameto remove the __USA part.

Dont know bout the other. Sorry.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hotsammysliz:
Thanks for the quick reply and help. I am rooted and I am actually running FreeGS3 and in my /system/app folder there is only "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" there isn't one with "_USA" on it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thats odd. I know that used to work. Maybe im forgetting a step, though I dont think I am.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lord_Kaizer:
You know i didn't even know you can launch the search that way,yeah this is my 1st Samsung phone
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
Are you on stock?

CM10 has settings under system where you can change the menu button long press action to in-app search.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
At some point whatever action you're trying to do you probably checked the "use as default" box and now you don't get the choice. I still get to choose which app I use for most things, not sure how to go back and remove the default though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] qben88:
you can do it throught Google Gow. just go into Google Now>settings>phone search> and select what you want it to search.

[Sony Tablet S] tonylee2000:
Since I updated to r5 last week, I have a problem with App shortcuts disappearing from the home screen every time I power down my tablet. There are 2 games (both from Glu, though other Glu games are fine, strangely enough), and the other one that keeps disappearing is the XDA app!

I add the shortcuts back every time I turn the Tablet back on but whenever I turn it off, the shortcuts for those 3 apps vanish.

Anyone else having similar issues or know how to fix this? Not a critical issue but bloody annoying!

Thx,

L
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Thought it was just me. My beloved XDA app keeps going awol. :(
[Sony Tablet S] CJHolderUK:
lol, this is too funny. Try clearing the launcher data, you will need to readd all your icons and widgets but should solve the problem. It worked for me. :)
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
For me, the problem exists with user apps that have been moved to sdcard (Move to USB storage in settings). Moving the apps back to internal storage (Move to tablet in settings) stops the user app icons from disappearing. The problem does not seem to effect system apps. Despite CJHolderUK saying it works for him, clearing the Home app's data does not fix the problem. The problem is definitely a 4.0.3r5 bug that needs to be reported to Sony.
[Sony Tablet S] Hernan1978:
Same here
[Sony Tablet S] tonylee2000:
Didn't work for me:confused:
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Guys, most of the issues are caused by the new update, try a factory reset, most of the issues like the launcher bug and wifi sleep mode shutdown bug should be gone after that, remember, always expect a problem after a update ;)
[Sony Tablet S] SudaDreamS:
I agree with andyabc

factory reset corrected this error
[Sony Tablet S] J_B204:
Thought I was going mad...was sure I'd put a shortcut in a folder but it wasn't there! App is on local storage too...

Only solution is a factory reset? Oh man....not again! lol
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Several people, including myself, have performed a factory reset attempting to solve the disappearing icons problem. It does NOT solve the problem. Sony's Tablet Sustaining Engineering (SE) Team has been notified about the problem. No solution has been posted yet.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Yeah true, a factory reset on the Sony Xperia Tablet S does not do anything to the problems since its not some large update to the framework, kernel and modules.

For the Sony Tablet S, most of the issues are caused by data from the previous version of the OS and also /data/local/tmp/ (I found out some root scripts when i was trying to root my tablet ended up there XD) but you can simply factory reset to restore the factory version but be aware that if you disabled any apps, in the factory reset process the "disabled" apps/files will be renamed to there original file name in /system/app/
[Sony Tablet S] tonylee2000:
Factory reset on Tablet S does not resolve issue either. I tried but the same apps still go missing after you turn the Tablet off. :banghead:
[Sony Tablet S] emgluon:
I find that only apps that have been moved to sdcard will go missing from the homescreen. I simply move everything to the internal storage, there is no more missing apps on the homescreen.

However it is still a annoying bug.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
You don't say.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Another problem

WARNING: (Can multiple people please confirm)

Confirmed: stifilz, biablo

When you update to R5 the recovery is also 'upgraded'.

See

Your prob thinking BIG WOOP.... Well with this recovery you CAN NOT run shell in recovery.....

Therfore you CAN NOT decrypt updates nor disable signature check. So we (for now) CAN NOT flash custom ROMS.

If/when Sony/Google patch this root method (adb restore) we will no longer be future proof i.e. pre-rooting :(

Stifilz

P.S Sorry wasn't worth making a new thread && it is a PROBLEM :(
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Why sony why?! :(
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Yes, I can confirmed Recovery was upgrade on my tablet with 4.0.3r5 update. My recovery screen looks the same as the one you posted.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Thank you, can you confirm that adb shell no longer works and becuase of that AIO does no work for decrypting / disabling full signature check?

Stifilz

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALSO

Can anyone with Xperia Tab with update R5 confirm if their recovery has changed???? An try to use "adb shell" in recovery.

Stifilz
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Yes, I can confirm ADB shell does not work with tablet in Recovery Mode after update to Android 4.0.3r5. I notice that when tablet is in Normal Mode, ADB correctly returns the tablet's serial number, but when tablet is in Recovery Mode, ADB incorrectly returns the tablet's serial number as 0123456789ABCDEF. Did ADB always do this or is this something new?

[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
ADB Shell has been blocked O.e
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
I also noted this, posted in Dev under AIO thread. It is NEW. Really weird tho......

So it has been blocked.....

Can we change this or are we screwed??

Stifilz
[Sony Tablet S] lerijiso:
Is it really that bad?..sorry..noob here. Will any future official update by Sony be able to change it (assuming that they want to)?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Fat chance, you seen what Sony did, they attempted to block root exploits with kernel 10, they will not help unlock the bootloader with any tool and now the ADB Shell is rejecting in recovery mode, of course its bad :(

With the ADB Shell blocked, you cannot flash encrypted zip's with the AIO Tool (Sign check enabled permanently unless the tool manages to find an other way in (Security hole))
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migroch:
So I have been following this thread (Nabi 2 Root and Gapps Install) on how to root my Nabi 2 that I got on a raffle. I would have liked to post there but xda-developers doesn't let me do it since is my first post here and apparently they dont want newbies to post on development forums.

Following the instructions on that thread I downloaded these files http://androidfiles.org/uploads/?dir=Nabi2 and followed the procedure. I had to uncheck and check again the USB Debugging mode option under Settings->Developer Options in order for adb to see my device.

After that everything worked fine except that I ended up with a ROM that is unable to turn on Wifi :(. Unfortunately even though by following this procedure my old ROM should have been backed up, because I repeated the steps a few times what I got in the back up files for restoring is just a copy of the new ROM that is not able to turn on WIfi.

HELP!!

Thank You!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t499user:
My guess is that you didn't do step number 1, install all of the OTA updates, which causes the WiFi problem. You will have to flash back to an earlier version, do all of the OTA updates, and then reflash the recovery/root/gapps/etc. The files and directions are in the thread you linked to.
