[Q] do multiple launchers slow phone down? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I have upgraded to the stock jelly bean and I do really like it. However, I love switching out launchers and keyboards. Now my note has slowed down when unlocking and switching apps. Is this because of the several launchers? Or is it jelly bean? Help!
in advance, thanks
Rachael

I don't think launchers hog resources and slow the device down. Only one should be running at a time. You can check in your stats to see if more than one is. Under settings - applications swipe right to see what's running.
However launcher add-ons can. I noticed go launcher has TONS of cool additions and themes but seemed to kill my battery.
Are you rooted? You can always freeze the stuff your not currently using, and unfreeze when you want it. Also the stock update has a LOT of unwanted apps. Freezing and removing that crap can increase performance.

Thanks for the advice. I have rooted my device and tried to freeze several apps. I am not sure which ones I can freeze. Any advice?

You can always "feeze" an app, then use your phone for a day or 2 to see if anything doesn't work properly and unfreeze it to fix. Stay away from freezing system settings. There is very few you can get away with freezing. Some of the apps I froze you may or may not want to depending on what you do with your phone. Like for example I don't use allshare or quickpic but you might. I'll try to write down as many as I can remember and see are removed thru titanium backup. But I might of uninstalled some and cant remember.
I'll add to the list as I remember or freeze more or if someone add's in future posts.
Froze or uninstalled apps:

Do you use SystemPanel and Titanium?

I use SystemPanel to identify apps that are running, and Titanium to freeze apps that I don't want to run. Here is a list of apps that I have safely froze, and a list of apps that I am considering freezing but too scared because I don't know for sure what they do.
Apps that are safe to freeze:
AllShare -- never ran it, so I don't know what I am missing
Buddies Now -- never ran it, so I don't know what I am missing
com.sec.android.samsungapps.una --not sure what it was, but I don't seem to miss it
Daily Briefing --downloads news and stuff to show in its widget.
DRM Protected Content Storage --needed for the Avatar movie.
DRMContentLauncher --needed for the Avatar movie
Fancy Widget --comes with macnut
QuickOffice --lets you view MS Office documents. Not sure why it would need to run all the time though
SNS --social networking sync. I think it's needed for the social hub
SNS Account -- same as SNS above
Social Hub --an app that shows FB and twitter posts
Visual Voicemail --Never used it or needed it. Who uses voicemail anymore??
Voice Dialer --I don't use voice dialing
Wi-Fi Calling --Freezing this one is strange because it still shows as running even after being frozen. Maybe it should be deleted???
wssyncmlnps --another syncing app for one of the apps that I have froze above, I believe
Apps that I am considering freezing, but too scared since I don't know what they do:
BadgeProvider
com.sec.android.providers.downloads
Mobile tracker settings
My Uploads
Task Manager
Wi-Fi Calling --well, I know what this does, but freezing it won't stop it, so it might need to be deleted.
MTP Application
Gallery --why does this continue to run in the BG all the time?
HTC_IME mod
LogsProvider
Processes running under System Processes that I am considering freezing, but too scared since I don't know what they do
mmcqd 0.2
sensorserver_ya 0.1
mediaserver 0.1
rild 0.0
evetns/0 0.0
pvr_workqueue 0.0
zygote 0.0
Anyone want to add to the list, or explain what some of the apps that I am considering freezing actually do?
By the way, I am using the Macnut R13 ROM.
hey nice list...
one question off topic
i can't seem to find Social Hub in my r13 rom..... do you? i know Samsung IM & Email are probably part of samsung social hub.. but i cant seem to find the social hub app itself... weird..
All ROM Devs have removed wifi-calling because you can never shut it down and it eats through your battery.

I'm running Obsidian V5 and I uninstalled wifi calling all together.. I dont plan on using it. Here's others I froze/uninstalled without seeing any issues or anything:
- android live wallpapers 2.2 (dont use any)
- buddies now
- calendar 1.1 (dont use)
- calendar storage 1.1
- calendar sync
- car home 1.2
- car home 2.2
- desk home 1.0
- email 2.2
- feeds & updates (not sure what it is, but hasnt affected anything ive noticed)
- files 1.0
- google voice 0.4.2.8
- live wallpaper picker 2.2
- manage online album 1.0
- samsung apps 1.2.183
- talk 1.3 (dont use it - dont know what it is but always running)
- task manager 1.11
- voice dialer 2.2
- voice search 2.0.1
Wifi calling can be uninstalled through Titanium, but you need to reboot immediately because it will cause constant FCs.
As for the others, I wouldn't touch sns or the providers.downloads. The latter is necessary for market downloads I believe. Also leave the system processes alone unless you want to Odin back.

hello, uhm i just installed titanium backup pro (TBP) and i have one question:
does TBP need to stay running on the background for frozen apps to stay frozen?

No, it doesn't need to run in the background (i.e., just freeze or un-freeze with TB and you're set to go).

how do i uninstall applications?

like widgets? such as "apmobiles", seems to be a newspaper sort of thing i will never read. i also can't uninstall social/music/gaming/book hubs? i'm in the setting/applications/manage applications bit.
i want to basically delete a LOT of apps then only install what I need? i'm new to smartphones, moved from a nokia keypad phone. so the galaxy s2 was a massive jump for me.
Have a search for titanium backup and root. You'll need to root your phone 1st before you can 'freeze' but not remove apps.
The phone is brand new and it will take a while before custom roms that let you remove apps are available.
If I were you I'd wait before rooting as it is still a bit complicated and simpler methods will come along soon, I'm sure. I'd use the time to read the guides and get familiar with the phone.
Bear in mind that rooting/custom roms will lose you your warranty. Also, I'm not too worried about app removal as the phone has plenty of memory for my needs. Just remove the apps you don't want from the home screen and put on the ones that you do.
Edit: just wanted to clarify that I was referring to removing pre - installed apps.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Thanks for that, it's that I also noticed that there are services running in the background from applications that I'm not using, like I have the apmobile service running and also a social hub service running even neither is open. And I at least want to remove app shortcuts from the menu.
You'll need to root and freeze to remove the shortcut from the app drawer. I really wouldn't do that until you've read up and are confident though.
There are other threads about the social hub, have a search. I think you'll need to reset the phone and then not add any accounts if you want to stop it from being active.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
To add-up about removing the widgets (probably you've found it already though), you only need to hold down the widget and slide it down to an area says remove
this phone comes with a built in task manager and a widget that shows you active tasks, i use the widget on my phone's desktop to close apps as needed ( i know the phone can handle it but its just my own thing lol ) and from there, there's a tab that lets you uninstall apps as well.
ofcourse you wont be able to uninstall those that came with the phone just yet.
I rooted mine which was dead easy and was my first time so you'll be fine. Download AntTek app manager from the market its free and lets you freeze, delete and backup any apps and widgets you want. You will no longer have any of those crap apps working in the background draining your battery. Hope this helps.
Edit: Oh yeah the built in task manager doesn't show system apps working in the background or at least not all so well worth freezing or removing them.

List of freezable apps (updated 11/18 7:00 pm EST, many apps added)

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...

Do these apps re-install after a reboot like others are reporting with temp root or does "freezing" have better results than deleting?
Freezing them sticks after reboots. It is almost as good as removing them.
But OP, you really went to town on the freezing.
Thanks for testing these! Appreciated.

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
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!
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.
Added almost 20 more apps...
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 .
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
yep must have temp root and using Titanium or something equivalent
I'm moving this to the App section since it is more related to that section.
Thanks for this list, but have you tried removing any, if possible?
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?
trying to get mine to temp root it self would cause BT to quit working
reboot would fix it most of the time
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.
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.

You can use App Quarantine:

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).

Apps That Are Safe to Remove From 4.4.2 [NC2]

Here is a list of apps that I have removed from the 4.4.2 (NC2) build using Titanium Backup and Root Explorer. There are more apps that can be removed but these are the ones I've deleted so far. Please keep in mind that you use your phone differently than I do so some of these may interfere with your daily use if frozen/removed. I have completely removed them but the best thing to do is to freeze them for a while in Titanium Backup or rename them with a .bak extension in Root Explorer to be sure that they aren't going to cause any issues.
Feel free to post any additional apps that you have removed and I'll add them to the list.

I usually remove/freeze all that I can with Titanium Backup first then I use Root Explorer for the ones that I can't find in TiBu.
Did you freeze them or did you actually remove the apk? Only reason I ask is some of those might fall under the category of do not remove but you can freeze so we should probably clarify

Thanks for putting this together. I usually freeze/delete all the bloat I can. I hardly ever use the Samsung apps anyways.
Wanted to drop a thanks as well. I LOVE ASOP and I hate bloat that I never use. I'm seeing some of my best battery life on 4.4.2 with all of the above removed.
I plan on removing some of these items from the system/apps folder of the de odex version before flashing to 4.4.2. I assume there shouldn't be any issues as I have done this with several other roms in the past?

You shouldn't have any issues, but I can't guarantee anything.
Just wanted to say thank you for this helped delete every thing from two N3's.
Just chiming in I did remove a lot of the mention apps from the system/apps directory of nc2 rom floating around before flashing from 4.3 and it works perfectly fine. thanks again for the list!
I removed a lot (but not all) of apps from this list using Titanium Backup. I noticed a few things that broke after doing so and was wondering if anyone knew which missing apps might be the culprit?
1: Automatic screen rotation seems be broken for all apps.
2: I have Battery Widget Reborn installed and the quick settings in the notification shade don't work anymore.
Here is a link to my list.

Hey thanks! I'll compare the 2 lists and try restoring the ones that aren't on your list.
EDIT: Restoring "Easy Settings" in the Titanium gave me back the ability to use use my Battery Widget Reborn quick controls again. Strangely, after rebooting, this program name doesn't appear in Titanium anymore.
Also, I have no idea what is causing my rotation to not work, and no one else is reporting this, so I don't know. I found 2 apps that I removed in Titanium by mistake because I don't any backup for them: media and imsqmisocket.
I may just hard reset at this point.
So I've been trying to track down the app that is causing rotation to break but I can't figure it out. I started fresh and each day I've been deleting around 15 apps twice a day until they have all been removed. Today I removed the last 12 apps from the list and rotation is still working so far.

Hi,
Here is my debloat solution.
DEBLOAT_Script_Samsung_A520F_7.0_Nougat_v1
I use it with TWRP recovery.
More speed or performance doesn't matter for me. But I have more space and better battery.
Anyoine maybe got a "save-list" which Bloatware could be deactivated via package disabler pro? I have no root access (KNOX warranty....) so i could only deactivate.

Your script includes MM AND N
first thing u need is ROOTED DEVICE.
as far as i know, deleting some of system app will not harm your device. i have tested it with my a3.
i deleted all knox app, all samsung stock app which i dont need, unused google things like hangout, google app itself, google search. u can also delete Galaxy Apps, but when you want to update the app which gave you a notification for an update, u cant.
i deleted it, because i dont need it. many, there are so many useless things from samsung, and im done with it.
for a safe step, u can 'of course' delete :
1. daydream
2.screensaver
3.weather
4.video
5.knox
6.secure folder
7.all samsung healthy apps
8.live wallpaper
9.themes
10.my samsung
11.file explorer
and many.
after i rooted my a3, i deleted almost 200mb bloatware. and it (dont know for sure) doesn't give any differences on speed, performance, or battery life. just faster when u open apps section on phone setting
sm-a520w oreo rooted and cautious debloat
Here's my list. Obviously you will have to make up your own mind as to what you want. I am waiting for hades to be fully functional on my lame "w" variant.
I did twrp, magisk and INSTALLED IN RECOVERY the debloater downloaded from magisk. Still running pretty much everything I used to such as email, playstore and phone/messaging and a game.
Installed a terminal emulator to run the module... called... terminal emulator but was told to try termux. Get Termux if you prefer larger text. Not a power user by any means so both work great for me.
I don't think you will want to uninstall much more than 3 or 4 apps at once. I just knocked off families like the knox clan, facebook clowns but for google i knocked them off in pairs so they could watch themselves get eaten. My first successful root involved titanium and I just went nuts and was not rebooting and by about the 20th app my screen did some neat swirly effect and I think I saw the screen throw files at me. Then I got a message that root was removed. Oh well.
Don't be signed into anything that you're uninstalling might be important. If you're on the W variant you'll notice 2 programs not listed with FIDO in the name. Be careful because I got locked out deleting one or two of those and it probably was also a bad idea having a pin on the lockscreen because that was most likely what I damaged. Luckily I easily fixed it in twrp. Just do the obvious ones first if you are new.
You will see two Sim Services if you go to remove it but I only did one. I picked the first one and left the one underneath it. They will be numbered different on your screen unless you do it in the same order as me, which you won't. So, when I did it they were 66 and 67. I chose 66 and did a reboot. Yeah the other one is on the list in the terminal still, but I don't get the icon anymore anywhere so I was rather pleased and just left it like that for now. It is now seen as sim toolkit in your apps in system view. I don't want to even talk about it in case it hears me and puts an icon in the app drawer.
What did I notice? Phone is definitely a little bit quicker. By a little I mean you may not notice if you use animations. RAM is definitely happy with the weight loss and needs a new wardrobe. It sometimes boots up around 2 but will rest around 1.5 if idle. It never did that before and obviously this device is not being sold and used properly with all this crap on it and when you don't take these measures, well there ain't much room for more crap so might as well get an S9 and abuse that sucker until it runs worse than a device years younger. I will add more as I find out what exactly my plans are and more importantly after fully understanding what I am removing. If you want to follow someone's list that somehow has so much removed it doesn't make sense... it's because they have apps to use in place for what they want. If that is appealing just tell me what app you crashed and burned on and when you're sick of 7 or so fixings grab a custom ROM
Keep lock screen security off and sign out/detach yourself from apps as much as possible. You can delete the keyboard with a current working one but I put it back as the message app lost smiley faces
I use Virgin and deleted their useless crap. Some weird rogers stuff I knew was there but a little old for a recent update...?
Encrypted Sim? I hope not. Do Enterprise SIm/Vpn together and power off. Take out your SIM and power on. I just waited until it was done the 30-60 second warm up and put the SIM back in and carried on. If you don't do this you'll want to do it when the phone reboots and chokes and.... just take it out.
Some apps will downgrade and need to be uninstalled (like they should be) in your apps after reboot and others may linger in the debloater. Just do'em again.
Not the order I did but as it was exported and from 1 and 2 menu options
You can uninstall Dictionary NOT User Dictionary. Settings will not function at all. Instant fc. User Dictionary can be disabled though. I am sure it can be done but other apps not listed here like contacts most likely need to go with it.

Is there a way to debloat it without a script.. maybe an app like package disabler. I upgrade package disabler but it doesnt work anymore. I use oreo stock no root...

I just helped my mother disabling an awful lot of bloat. Seems like I lost the battery section in Settings along the way. I still think it's worth it to be rid of the whole CM thing. I made a shortcut to the battery optimization via Tasker and I'm now looking to do the same for background processes.
Edit: It appears I disabled com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity by mistake. Now I have everything but the ****ty CM app optimizer and can forget about the shortcuts. Perfect!
Now I only have to figure out why I'm getting "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked or not installed"-popup when booting. If it is home screen related it might have something to do with me removing a default app which used to show up in the farthest left slide of the screen. Never paid any attention to it so I'm pretty clueless as to what it may be.
