I deleted all moto touchless control extra extra, now I have almost a pure aosp ROM, I know you think I'm crazy for deleting all the bells and whistles but I never really used it

Sent on my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] VegasRooted:
Excellent

Great work Scorpion, I love doing the same with my phones, stripping down stock. (I started a few "apps safe to remove" threads myself in the past.)

Thanks again! :good:

[Moto X Q&A] VegasRooted:
System Apps Safe to Remove for Sprint Moto X (4.2.2)

This is a list of what I've completely removed from my (4.2.2) 16GB and 32GB Sprint Moto X's using TiBu: (Wiped Data and Deleted all of them one-by-one, all in one sitting...then rebooted to recovery and wiped Cache & Dalvik) This is based largely on Scorpion's recommendations in the OP with his AT&T version Moto X, combined with my own past experience stripping stock Sprint Motorola's. (Admiral, Xprt, Photon, etc.) NOTE: I still use Active Notifications; this strip-down does not affect the functionality of Active Notifications at all, so no worries there. I've been running this stripped down stock ROM for a few weeks now, with no issues so far...

Wiped Data and Removed with TiBu:

[Moto X Q&A] mistermojorizin:
i used the OP, but i had to reinable these apps to make motoconnect work (not saying it was necessary to renable all these, but i just noticed it started working again after enabling them so i didn't narrow it down exactly):

--8. com.motorola.authentification

--13. Device Management 1.0

--33. Moto Care 1.1

--34. MotoCareInt 1.0

--39. Motorola Checkin 1.0

--43. Motorola Notification 1.0

--49. MotoSignatureApp 1.0

i can say for sure that if all of these are disable, motorola connect doesn't work for me

[MENTION=4131045]VegasRooted[/MENTION]

Followed your list, well most of them i had froozen.

So far no problems. I do not use Motorola Connect.
[Moto X Q&A] cowman4000:
I froze everything in the OP and now tethering does not work... It turns on but my computers struggle to connect and then i'm stuck with limited connectivity and i can't get to the web. Does anyone know what I can unfreeze without doing them one by one to see which one broke it?
[Moto X Q&A] rockingondrums:
On my XT1053 (T-Mobile), I froze all 3 entries related to Moto Care and I still have the battery saver option. The three I froze: Moto Care 1.1.9, MotoCare 1.1 (yes, a difference of a space in name), MotoCareInt 1.0.
[Moto X Q&A] fndpena:
Would be good to know what are some of these apps before freezing them.

[Moto X Q&A] 1dtms:
Maybe a stupid question but,

whats the difference in disabling/freezing with Titanium Back up vs just going to the app Settings and disabling from there?
[Moto X Q&A] ManHands:
Some apps don't allow disabling in Settings. That's where TIBU fills the void.
[Moto X Q&A] prasathvishnu:
Good list.

Couple of questions.

1. When you say freeze, do you mean Disable it from "Apps"?

2. Also, what does the colour green and red indicate? My understanding is Green item can safely be disabled but, red with some catch.

It has been quite some time since you posted. Any issues you faced with any apps? Also, how is your battery life?
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Anyone notice significant improvements in battery life or performance after freezing all these? How much of a difference does it actually make?
[Moto X Q&A] :
Doing this and greenifying other stuff...and turning off sync and location services has my x consistently getting over 24 hours on a charge with 5 to 7 hours screen time.

These cut backs aren't for everyone of course. Its a matter of preference. :)
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Thanks!

Well I definitely use sync and location services, I think both of those make a bigger difference. Not sure if these things would help. I use assist, active notifications, touchless control and all that. Just looking to freeze things i don't need or use.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Yeah, everyone has different needs. That's why its hard to compare battery stats. 5plus hours screen usually is from turning lots off....lots. lol
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:

[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
Hi guys sorry for the absence. I ended up switching back to my iphone 5 for a few months as a few friends were working on Jailbreak tweaks and I was helping them test betas/experimental builds etc. I am now back fulltime on the Moto X.

I'm back to square one in 4.4.2. Seems things have changed a bit. Have about 26 services frozen atm gonna use it for a few days and report back.

If anyone has an updated list they tested I'd be glad to add it to the OP for the time being.

[edit]

Preliminary findings

The following services should not be disabled if you use active notifications (my fav feature of Moto X):

Motorola Slpc Service: 1.00.02

Motorola Slpc System: 1.00.00

[edit2]

The latest 6 or so motorola related services I disabled recently have made increased the responsiveness of active notifications. Ex. take the phone out of your pocket and the unlock ring shows, the time it takes fromwhen you drag the ring down to unlock to seeing the homescreen seems faster now. Pretty sure it's not placebo effect.

I will post a list tomorrow night as I want to make sure the freeze list does not break any core functionality. So far Active Notifications and Touchless controls seems to work flawlessly.

[edit3] edited OP to reflect that the list is old (pre 4.4.2)

[edit4]

Here is my updated list (used this config over the weekend on 4.4.2 official, no issues with Active Notifications/Touchless controls):

Audio Effects [Built in equalizer will not show up in settings if you disable this]

[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
bump

[edit] I'm reaching the max number of apps/services I can disable without affecting my daily usage. Close to 73. I will update sometime today or tomorrow.
[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
Last shameless bump. The list is now finalized for 4.4.2 =)
[Moto X Q&A] SymbioticGenius:
Just to update I used this list to freeze many things in 4.4.3. While there are definitely some apps that are missing in the phone and maybe a few to add to the list so far there are no adverse effects.
[Moto X Q&A] Henrique Belaz:
Actually, if you remove "55. MotoSignatureApp 1.0", Active Display won't work, as this app seems to check its signature.
[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
I'm not trying to dismiss what you're saying however my active notification works perfectly without it.

I will add a precautionary note under this service to reflect that it caused the adverse side effect for you, just in case it happens to other users.
[Moto X Q&A] Henrique Belaz:
Well, I'm on a brazilian retail XT1058 4.4.3 ROM, so things might be a bit different. Anyway, thanks for your effort in doing this list, I've been dying to find out what I could freeze or not.

PS: I'm now getting a much more efficient battery. Something around 18h with 5h30 of screen time, almost twice the time I was used to.
[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
Ah okay if you're on 4.4.3 that could possibly explain why that service breaks Active Notifications for you.

I'm happy to hear that it has helped you with battery life =)

Once Rogers releases official 4.4.3 for my phone I will revise the list.

I don't have the patience anymore to fix/find workarounds for the small little bugs in custom ROM's so I just try to optimize the stock one as much as I can. Just, I have different hobbies and stuff now but Android is still cool =)
[Moto X Q&A] dibrov_s:
Motorola Notification 1.0 is needed to sign in and to use the Motorola Connect, at least on my XT1056.
[Moto X Q&A] zefyx:
Thanks for the list, my device is much snappier since removing the bloat. Unfortunately, I'm getting Active Display crashes now. I only removed what you recommended. Any ideas?

EDIT: Can someone throw MotoSignatureApp 1.0 apk up on a filehost so I can see if that is the issue? Thank you!
[Moto X Q&A] zefyx:
Found the apk on an Aptotide repository and installed it. I no longer receive force closes for Active Display, but it simply doesn't work. Even tried reinstalling AD from GP to no avail, I'm stumped. I'll keep an eye on this thread in hopes that a solution comes up before I'm forced into a factory firmware reinstallation.
[Moto X Q&A] TheBig399:
Integrate updates into rom

This may not be the best place for this, and if not please direct me to the right place.

On two other android phones and a tablet I've been able to integrate system apps back into the rom without a problem. But now with this Moto X 2013 4.4.4 DEV Ed., the system flips out. I can get most to work by first making it a user app, then reconverting it to a system app. The major problems that cause the phone to be anywhere from annoying to inoperable are Google Play Services, Play Store, and Motorola Modality Services.

I guess what I'm asking is, is there work around or at least an explanation on why and how this is that way?
[Moto X Q&A] mortadelax:
Hi guys.

I'm on stock 4.4.2. Should I upgrade to 4.4.4 with official notification? How's stability and battery life?

Thanks
[Moto X Q&A] ConstantHero:
If your bootloader isn't unlocked and you can't through Motorola, unlock using Sunshine first before going to 4.4.4. If not go for it. If you upgrade to 4.4.4 you won't be able to use Sunshine and unlock.
[Moto X Q&A] mortadelax:
Sorry I don't get it.

My bootloader is not unlocked. I can upgrade to 4.4.4 via normal motorola install through wifi. If I do this, will I be able to unlock in the future? If I can, do you recommend normal motorola upgrade?

Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] ConstantHero:
It depends on your phone if you can unlock. But anything past 4.4.2 as of now will not be able to be unlocked using Sunshine. Try motos website and see if you can unlock. Just a warning if you upgrade to 4.4.4 with an unlockable phone you can't unlock the bootloader with Sunshine. If none of that matters(custom roms/kernels/root access) take the update.
[Moto X Q&A] mortadelax:
Ok. It's hard to understand for me (maybe due to my bad english). My bootloader is like stock. So it is locked. But is it unlockable? How to know that. I have the xt1058 at&t.

I'm interested in ROMs not for now, but for the future. I understand you don't recommend me to take the official motorola 4.4.4 upgrade.

Do you accept private messages?

Thanks a lot

EDIT. Oh Sunshine is paid. Is there anything free? Nevermind, it's cheap

EDIT. Woow Big miskate if update to 4.4.4. I've been reading about what you said...

Forgive me for so many questions. I got no good news about xt1058 at&t about unlocking BL. But what about rooting? I'm really interested in getting root to freez the damm at&t address book and other stuff
[Moto X Q&A] nugroho2:
My two cents: before playing this delete-apps, make a TiBu zip file of the apps that you wanna delete. If things go wrong, just install that zip through recovery.

I broke my screen. Digitizer I believe is cool, as the screen still works fine.

I am not paying $106 to get it fixed when I can buy a $6 screen.

Has anyone had any experience doing this on a first try on this or any past phone?

Would like to know how hard it is.

I saw one video where the guy didn't use double sided tape on edges and had a huge bubble in the middle.

+ I would like the learning experience.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] richii0207:
I did my fathers galaxy s3. Its pretty easy, use a heat gun (blow dryer would take too long) to heat up the glue under the screen and use an exacto knife or similar to pry the screen glass off.

Take your time because you can scratch the screen beneath it.You can use the same glue to mount the new glass screen on, just heat it up again and place on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
my only issue was I watched a video on youtube for the s4, and the kid who did not use new double sided tape for the edges had a big bubble in his screen, and that's my big fear, so if I do go ahead with this I will set myself up with all the needed tools.

I just wish I could send it out haha.

Hi guys, just jumped to android from ios and im having some issues (camera has black screen and freezes with camera failed), front facing camera works). Basically ive seen a lot of fixes for the rear facing camera on the S4, clearing the cache etc. None of them work, i was planning on rooting the phone as well, ive seen a few posts saying this sometimes fixes the issue with a new rom and kernel.

Does anyone have experience of this working and can recommend a custom rom for me? Just before i start ordering parts for it.

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Sounds like the flex cable for the camera is not seated correctly. Depending on your firmware, you will not be able to flash any new roms for awhile. I suggest warranty replacement if you are on MF3. If you are on MDL, read up on rooting and ROMs. There is vital info you need to know. A new ROM might fix it if it isn't a flex cable issue.

Hi to all,

I just installed Revolution HD rom for S4 (i9505). After rebooting, there is a notification with a shield icon who says (translated from italian):

prevention information

an attempt of unauthorized actions have been detected from an application, then the loading have been blocked. To protect the device it is recommended to reboot.

If I click on it a question says: reboot now or reboot later.

If I reboot the notification appears again and again. I dont know which application generates the message (is not stated anywhere).
