If you like me, you have a rooted Galaxy Mega, and just want less bloatware, better battery, and extra 100-200MB of free RAM, want to keep your stock ROM and not deal with instaling a custom one, those are 120 elements you can safely freeze with Titanium Backup if you dont use any of them offcourse, and be sure your phone will work just fine but snappier... when i restart my Mega, and clear the RAM after everything loads, my used RAM is 320MB/1.32GB
Here is a screenshot list:

ya, just freeze, dont delete, is diferend, you can freeze all that and then delete titanium backup, itll stay frozen unless you install TB back and unfreeze it. try it, guarantee it wont brick your phone. been doin it with all my phones, check my profile see how many of those guides i made thru the years with all my diferend phones lol
Thanks!!! It seems much faster.

is the same thing, but half of those things arent allowed to be turned off from the apo manager..
If you are rooted, buy Titanium Backup if you havent already, the best purchase you can make if u own android phones, as before you freese/delete anything, you can simply back the ROM up, and if something isnt working just restore.
also as i found out, when i was on T-Mobile bloated ROM, some of T-Mo branded bloatware was turning back on by itself on phone restart after turning it off from the app manager...
a lot of those elwments are safe to DELETE with TB... ATT or T-Mo software and Samsung bloatware are some of those...
rest i recomend just leave frozen..
lmk if u guys need any other info.. i have been into the extreme with some of my ROMs i had one debloated was running perfectly normal with what i need only on 32 elements haha, i think is one of the Threats i made named "Extreme Bloatware Remowal" if u look at my profile..

I deleted a handful, rhapsody, tmo junk and things like trip visor (or whatever it's called). The rest I froze... One day I will back up how it is and try deleting things bit by bit.
I did not freeze a few things you posted because I actually need them. For ex : text to speech, resource manager and tags, to name handful.
I am sure the email client uses a ton but I have not seen anything that is as good, shame. k9 is ok but needs constant sync.
I also froze a few things you did not.
Thanks for the guide.

Aye.. first and foremost, you gota make sure you only freese what you WONT use offcourse... i dont use any fints lets say, i freese em all, dont want em to load on device startup and take RAM.. same with Wallpapers or Widgets.. i dont use any, i freeze em all...
And about the bricking.. i gue the phone needs some of the elements to be present on restart to boot... even it the are frozen/turned off is diferend that just been deleted...
Not every Android phone is like that tho, i had phone i delete everything just leave 35 elements and is working fine... not the Mega i guess..
Amazing.. Really good looking. But i want to know how it's possible to safely freeze with 120 elements Titanium Backup..

My wife and I both have X10's.
I'm running a custom rom and she is running the stock 2.2 (I believe it's 2.2, could be 2.1).
I tried to install an app on her phone and it said that she was out of space! She doesn't have a lot of apps on the phone, nor does she have a lot of junk on it....she has about 4 games, and not a lot else.
I rooted it and took off a few of the dumb things like Moxier mail and such but I couldn't see any way to see how much space she had and I can't figure out why she'd be out of space and I've downloaded a LOT more stuff than she has and I haven't gotten any warning....
Your wife is using stock 2.1 not 2.2 since its not out officially. There are lot of apps that can be removed from stock which i remember listed on a sticky thread (in app section u think) if you don't know what you are doing then id strongly suggest your wife to use erics Rom for 2.1

I tried installing plants vs zombies and peggle but both said my phone didn't have enough space. I easily had enough space for the install... It's possible it might be referring to amount of available ram.

Yes I also had that on 2.1. When I got enough space some apps still won't install because it thinks there is not enough space. After you've removed a lot of apps (that will free up memory) it gets installed. You could try installing with Flashtool the .apk, I think that that will work.

First thing:
Install Titanium backup *** root version from market.
Once you load it, it says how much space is left in every place of the phone.
4 games on a stock Froyo is quite a lot actually, rsrsrs, the stock rom is very BIG.
normal games may have 20MB or much more sometimes(like angry birds).
Yet the best would be to put a stable Froyo custom rom or eclair.
Womans(mine at least) doesn't want to much of the phone, just want it working, rsrsrs, so that would be enough for her.
She may have some app that is bloating the system space, google earth, some gps maybe?
Well,
I tried to take an Xrecovery back up of my phone and restore her phone....all went perfectly....except that her phone had my information on it such as the google account.
I put her google account info in and it wouldn't let me delete mine out of her phone.... so I was stuck.
So then I tried to do a factory restore and things went bad...no signal apn info....no keyboard....it was horrible.
I messed around and messed around and restored her phone to a MIUI rom that she previously had, but then I couldn't make calls...no apn information!
I tried to import apn information to her phone via an APN back up/restore but it didn't work....
So then I finally, I just put the stock rom on her phone this morning so she could get to work and I could start again tonight.....
arggggg....
Mine only says "Unavailable" because I skipped out of box experience and didnt register to test this. :| yours will still have your email and everything linked so dont worry!
Alright, I'm going to start off with saying that what this does is turn off FOTA for you by modifying data for devicemanager. How do you do it?
Well, let's begin.
12/22/11: New tweaks, FOTA checkin timer = 0 (no checks anymore), Build key difference, FOTA mode = disabled and a few other FOTA tweaks.
First: Download the files unzip them, and put all 3 into the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard (you need to download Titanium backup from market for this just FYI).
Then start titanium backup, grant root if you havent already and restore "DeviceManagerService 2.3.4" and then poof! You have now blocked OTA's. I'll actually try and make this happen in my script so new people can do it but you can tell if it worked by going into settings>about my nook>Version Number:9.9.9

FAQ
Will this stop me from buying anything from B&N?
NO! You will keep everything and the ability to buy. This does nothing to the services aside from makes a few minor SQL tweaks that affect the devices ability to OTA.
Can this break my device?
No! This process actually holds no risk. It should always work no matter what and since we caught it early on, we can prevent further updates that can fix this.
Are you awesome Indirect?
Yes, yes I am. Now enjoy all the crap I released for you guys

Thank you for your work Now, does this block any and all interaction with B&N servers (in case I(or anyone else) want to actually purchase a book or app from B&N) or just prevents receiving/installing the update? Also, will it prevent future updates or is it just coded for 1.4.1?
Completed. Thank you again . My best friend is a Nook "lead" at B&N and she is getting a kick out of our shenanigans. She actually gave it to me as an X-mas present. So thank you again for your work on the Tablet. I (we) look forward to more of your adventures in Nookdom. hehehe

So does the sqllite method not work? I used that method 2 days ago, and so far haven't received an update (knock on wood).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946969
This is the sqlite method just provides you with files to download and install...this really isn't that complicated. -.- versus having to actually modify the SQL on the device, its already done for you. Just trust it works, install, and ignore everyone *****ing about updates. Now I'm going back to bed before someone crosses me by asking a stupid question.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate this. My girlfriend is getting a NT for Christmas and I want her to handle the tinkering and guides like these will be of great help to her.
Just a couple questions. Does this work because the OTA updates check to see if you are on a lower version than what is put out (thus the 9.9.9)?
Also, just to clarify, when you said you want to put this into your script, you mean the rooting method you have posted?
Thanks again for all your work. I know B&N hasn't made this stuff easy but I personally think part of the fun is having to outsmart them

1) As I havent received notification of update yet, I don't know if they check version but it should if their recovery isnt crap however this has the FOTA check disabled so it should not even attempt to update it.
2)I meant my rooting script, yes.
Two thumbs up!!
Thanks for the hack. Once my NT was rooted, I put it to work. Now it is an excellent tool to use at work and the larger display makes life easier.
I just wanna clarify here: if we've already used the SQLite method and changed the fota value from auto to manual, there's no reason for us to use this new method, right? This is just an easier version of manually editing the file?
If so and if this actually works, isn't this confirmation that changing the fota value from auto to manual actually works? So far everyone's just keeping their fingers crossed, but if indirect is saying that that method actually does the trick- I'm inclined to believe it.
Indirect,
Although multiple people have already said it, thanks for all your work on the Nook! I now no longer have to worry about leaving WiFi on and having all of the work I've done since I got this thing undone!
Of course, B&N will come up with a way around this for their next update, but at least we're safe for now.

It's not just the FOTA edit, it changes a few things that OTA's typically check before no matter what. I just suggest you do this incase.
Okay in that case, glad I asked. I won't be able to try this for a few days but believe me the second I'm able- I will be doing this (and keeping my fingers crossed). Thanks again indirect and everyone else who's contributed info on this subject.

There was incidence of a person doing only the FOTAkill.apk yesterday that ended up receiving the update and lost root. He went through a long process of hard factory reset, rerooting, etc.
Not sure what happend. Titanium backup says devicemanagerservice 2.3.4 has been updated, a bunch of aps in the restore section of titanium backup have 2.3.4 next to them, but my software version still says 1.4.0?

Hi All
I will be flashing my first rom for my Note 2. I've used titanium for restore on my Droid X and Bionic and found it to be mostly reliable with a few hiccups during some restores. Does anyone prefer Carbon for backing up and restoring after rom flashing and if so then why?
Thanks in advance

I use carbon for the app and titanium for the data. Because when you use titanium to install the app you have to do it manually which annoys me, in carbon you dont. But for some reason Carbon doesn't restores all my data so i use titanium there.

Like others have stated, it is kind of personal preference. Although titanium does have a seemingly more comprehensive/complete backup system that includes all of the apps and data, I have started to use carbon lately just to give it a go and see how capable it truly is because in the past I have had some issues with titanium at times. Definitely not saying titanium is bad at all, just would like to find another alternative to ti backup and so far carbon has performed well. I like the simplicity and straight forward interface that carbon uses along with the backup to g-drive n dropbox. Of course titanium does have basically the same options as well and more to choose from, so I guess the safe choice is titanium. It's been used by many for a while and is recommended by many. I say give them both a try and see which you prefer. Just my opinion....**BTW, I would give GoBackups a try as well, like the other member stated, I tried it out a couple times and it was actually pretty good overall. Also I just came across G Cloud app that has a possibly promising interface/functions as well, so check em all out and choose for yourself is my advice.**

Do Carbon or GoBackup have the option to disable (freeze) apps like Titanium Backup?
I used Titanium Pro for a bit back when I had my Droid (the original) and wasn't a huge fan.
I switched to Ultimate Backup Pro (made by JRummy) and it's exactly what I was looking for. A recent update changed the whole UI, but after getting used to it I really like it. I know it isn't quite as mainstream as Ti, but it has proven every bit as reliable and capable. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a backup program who isn't satisfied with their current backup app.

And what happens when you hit continue? It believe it's just asking you to add additional verification options to your google account.

Why? You should have verification setup even if you have it toggled off in your Google account settings. I believe this is also information needed to do a password reset if needed, so it's actually kind of important.

loki,
Am getting the screen once in a while. Like you, I do not intend to provide google/gmail with my phone number voluntarily as well. In my case, when I got the screen, I went to the settings and killed play store(Force Stop). That screen disappeared when I installed a new app using play store App again.
loki993 said:
Ok For a couple months now Ive been getting a very annoying nag everytime I download a new app from the play store. Basically I click download and I get a pup up nag that says "enjoy your app, if you ever forget your password we can restore your access...blah blah.tell us how we can contact you" or something to that effect. I don't want them to contact me and I'm not going to forget my password..I just want to turn the nag off......Ive checked the settings and I haven't found a way to do it. Ive also searched here and all over the web and cant seem to find anything.
Any help?

Hello.
I also have this all the time i update or install a new application using the play store. I dont think you can turn this off unless you give google what it wants.
I personally say "F**k you google you piece of sh*t, i aint givin you nothing" and hit the back button every time.

I finally gave in and did it and it went away. Pretty sure google already has my phone number anyways. Still kind of messed up though considering all of the hacking and data spills happening lately...I don't totally feel comfortable giving ANYONE my info lately.
In my case, I log into the gmail account associated with the phone on a Desktop using browser. My guess is that google wants to make sure that the primary account associated with the phone is active. Still it sucks that everything considered personal are now targeted information for Corporates like Google.

of course they have all this information, the point here is with your approval they legitimize it; they come clean. in practice but unfortunately none of it matters.
google is a disgrace and it blemished "open source".
I have to agree, yet another data-mining ploy by Google.
Anyway, I seem to have (at least temporarily) stopped this notification by hitting continue, then deleting the pre-filled phone number and then backing out of the recovery options screen.
We'll see if it comes back. I too have no interest in giving out more personal information than is absolutely necessary to make my phone work.
Been searching the threads and wanted to know what is safe to freeze/remove? I imagine the list for the TMO G4 would be the same for this this device?

Experimentation is key.
So far for me I've frozen anything listed as t-mobile with the filter option. I've frozen (deleting caused problem) all the Instagram Facebook (messenger too) handlers. Froze App Source I deleted the LG voicecare (only cause when I ran LG update I stupidly checked all of them) since I know I could without drama. My best suggestion is freeze first. Run phone for a bit and see if you get any errors on the screen.
This is everything that I have frozen. No issues so far. I have Nova installed as a system app, that way I can freeze the LG launcher.

Which app are you using to freeze the T-mobile bloatware?

With all the items you froze, do you still see the app showing usage in the battery stats? I have had devices that this occurred.

To be honest I haven't really looked at it. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get Better Battery Stats to work right. I've been having good battery life so it hasn't really been on my mind (average of 4-5 hours SOT).

phone needs to be rooted for titanium to freeze these apps right?

Yes, but you also need the pro version of the app to freeze apps.
okay, but...
If i were to delete these apps, instead of freezing, would it blow my phone into oblivion?

You can delete all the Google and all the T-Mobile apps. Also delete AdaptClient and LTDDM, as those are behavior-tracking spyware apps.
You can delete LGPartnerBookmarksProvider which is a carrier customization package for Chrome.
Don't delete any LG apps as they're all tied into the system one way or another.
When I was making my ROM, I found that deleting LG apps would often result in FCs in random settings screens or other LG apps.

Some apps will, some won't, just make a backup before you start, that way if you break something, you can restore...
Zdeuce2 now with golden rays of sunshine
I was hoping for a script like I used on my galaxy note 4... just hook to pc and run .bat file that someone had created.. lol Oh well.. Any updates??

Where did you find good instructions to root the V10? I'm finding all kinds of conflicted posts.
freezing/deleting bloat
Hey, I'm curious how you managed to delete Google apps without ill effect. I shut off the Google suite and my phone went nuts. Particularly bothersome was the loss of voice to text and spell checker when writing text messages (with Textra). The Google keyboard and ( I don't know why there are so many voice related apps)the voice recorder and the other audible vocal apps I had to turn back on. Do you have a trick that made it possible to disable chrome without headaches?

I imagine (and I mean this as much as a question as I do a comment) that after removing apps that serve a purpose such as Google keyboard, you could restore functionality by installing a replacement app of your choosing...? At least it seems to make sense in theory.. Plz correct me if I'm mistaken ... This is the 1st device I'm debloating myself manually so no experience to back my assumption... But I would like a more seasoned opinion on the matter... Thx
