[Verizon Droid Charge] KicknGuitar:
Extremely Lite WiFi Only - Freezing/Uninstalling Apps

Uninstalling & Freezing Apps from Tweaked Lite 1.0

What is This

Don't Remove/Freeze any app with a seemingly unrelated title! (I am guilty of this myself) I am not an Android Whiz-Wizard. I came to make this list out of the archaic trial & error. Most of what I've uninstalled probably broke something, I just haven't found where or how, let alone if I can even see the damage! Thus, don't get carried away. Start slow and test out one or two at a time. Make sure you've played around with the phone before concluding all is well. If you find I have incorrect information here, Let us know so it can be corrected.

You're here looking to slim down that phone and willing to take a risk. Use your head. Ask yourself, "What is this?" if you can answer it, then ask "Do I use this?"

ie. What is AllShare? An app to remotely share files on a network Do I use this OR any of my apps? No. Uninstall.

Others will not be obvious, i.e. Factory Test.

If you don't know it, you probably don't need to touch it.

Where to Begin

• Follow the first section as a shortcut to debloat Tweaked Lite for the WiFi Only Tweaked Mod. It has a list for removing general apps related to the phone and a second which further removes those hyper, wakelock apps.

• The second section is a full list with what I've found can be frozen, uninstall, only uninstalled etc… Take this list with a grain of salt, especially if you don't know Android well.

Tip for Titanium Backup users:

Use Labels For Mass Uninstalls by Copying & Pasting

Easy to do, saves you time and you can keep track of what you intended to install, Uninstall Freeze etc.

• Make a list, one app per line and send it to your Droid Charge (i.e. Email, Dropbox etc).

• On the phone, copy the list, open TB and go to Filters and Create Label.

• Open Add/Remove elements and Import (from Clipboard)

• Don't forget to save it

My Setup - LITE LEE Lite ROM Wifi-Only Tweak

Battery Life? You tell me: 0.2 - 1.0%h when idle

Keep Bluetooth & Wifi - Remove Phone & Data Functionality

Something is not right, current setup has phone running full speed with a kernel wakelock all the time. See BBS Log.

Edit: After further play it's almost gone no idea what I did... odd.

Make a backup with CWM before messing around!​

What?

Make the phone into a tablet using WiFi only Mod. Phone-related Apps removed if they were running. Left the extras like EMmail & Voice Recording untouched. Plan to test as GPS… eventually.

How?

Track apps that appear in BetterBatteryStats and Running Services if they run outside reasonable syncing times. Freeze or uninstall them using Titanium Backup.

Why?

You may call it obsessive, boredom, idiocy. I call it... obsessive. Apps I won't use on a tablet//remote: Phone, Texting... etc. Much of this you'll probably adjust for your own taste. If you (Devs) see something you know is safe to remove, speak up and I'll edit this accordingly. If there's something Wrong, shout it out.

What?

Remove MORE!!! There are still apps running around, unrelated to being a phone but could be removed. This is for you to pick and choose what to keep (i.e. EMail, Hangouts, Calendar etc.)

How?

Track apps that appear in BetterBatteryStats and Running Services if they run outside reasonable syncing times. Freeze or uninstall them using Titanium Backup. This may also include a Startups list to tweak.

Why?

Extras​

Kill Cell Signals - Save More Battery?

Well, more like Flip on Airplane Mode and you might help you save some juice. No really. Turn on Airplane mode and now turn on WiFi. The cellular signal will stay off after each boot but the WiFi will auto switch off too. But have no fear, that's fixable too…

WiFi On Startup - Bypassing Airplane Mode

Perfect for when you are using the Airplane Mode Trick. You will need a script App which will let you run it upon startup. ROM Toolbox offers this (Plus a ton of other useful tools to tweak your device). The code requires SU permission.
