[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Ah! Thank you Sherri. I like the app better than the browser version on the phone as it makes better use of the available screen space. I just have these fears from my previous install of "apps gone wild" and Facebook was a big hog of system resources. Now I did Greenify both Facebook app and Messenger. However, the donation version of Greenify allows for "Telephony Wakeup" meaning that things like calls, SMS, or "SMS-aware" apps can come out of hibernation if a message is received. I am going to try this out and see how it works. Actually, Facebook messages are not that important to me, most of them are really stupid like "Doris Greenfield invited you to play Farmville!". ...kidding me, right I "need" messages like this? :p

I actually tried putting my Go SMS Pro app to sleep but that really has to work. Those kind of messages I do not want to miss. I really need someone to send me a text message to test this. Will work on that later today.

So even if FB stays Greenified, I could care less. I will use it when I want to use it, other than that, GO TO BED AND STAY THERE! LOL! :laugh:

Ahhh, I see. Thank you Allen. Actually, sometimes when doing things like restoring with TiBu, I get messages that "Exchanges Services has stopped" So I looked it up to see what this was all about. I found a very interesting and very informative page here. I did log into my exchange page on the web and currently, I am not using any exchange services for anything. I use standard email accounts and Live Mail client on PC. I think I can safely turn this service off as I do not need it and, from what I have read in the above mentioned article, it can potentially be a big battery drain.

Exchange Services now frozen in Titanium Backup.

Alright, I am on this "quest for new knowledge" and then I will knock it off and get back to some seriously overlooked housekeeping.

I hate system bloat, the issue is really bad in stock rom because it contains all this Verizon nonsense like when you want to navigate, you get offered Maps, of course, Waze because I use and like it, and "VZ Navigator". This is an inferior version of Google Maps that you get the honor of paying Verizon $3 per use. Ahhhhhm NO! Stupid nonsense like this really has to go and of course, I can remove it, I think, from within Titanium Backup. Even cm11 has some things I can live without. I just froze Exchange Services because I do not use it, never will, and it can/will use system resources and affect battery life. Maybe this is bloat I can do without, for example.

But in Titanium Backup Menu, Preferences, is something called "Bloatware Melter". I tried to turn it on but I get a message that to use this, I must make a profile for it and then, I don't know, add stuff, I guess? What does this do? Is it useful? Does anyone use it? How do you use it?

I am really trying hard to learn to keep this phone lean and mean. I learned a very hard lesson by "installing everything" and ending up with a totally useless phone. Sad thing, in the process of extreme wiping, I lost my LTE chip and now have to put in an insurance claim, gather up the deductible, and get a new phone. But, that should not stop me from learning how to use this phone properly and making good, usable backups that I can restore when I get my replacement phone in a couple of weeks.

So this Titanium Bloatware Melter, can anyone tell me a little about it, preferably from someone who actually uses it and appreciates it? Or at least, someone that really understands it. Thanks guys! :cowboy:
