Why not delete them?

If you know which you can delete that are not needed by the system or other apps that you use then go ahead and delete. Otherwise, freeze them until you know you do not need them.

What I did which was recommended on this site was purchase absolute system. With that program I back up my apps before deleting them. Il give ya a list but I plan to delete more, just want to run with what ive deleted so far for a few days to make sure theres no issues. So far I have zero issues and love my phone even more now. So far what ive deleted is....

I will post a rooted stock rom tomorrow that has most if not all crap removed. You can flash it right over your current setup without wiping.

What should we freeze with bloat freezer on gingerbread?

Running ef02 stock and was wondering what we should freeze in bloat freezer after the jump update.

Both of the DRM services (just look for DRM) and system updates (after you've done any manual updates you're wanting). These tend to kill battery a bit quicker.

Anything you don't use, and then some.... I delete dozens of apps I don't use
ie live wallpapers, live wallpaper picker, gmail (I use yahoo), gtalk, email (I use touchdown), media hub, samsung apps, .....
Anything SNS if you don't use it, along with the aforementioned DRM and updates.

Most common example:
Facebook contacts merge from the app into your phone contacts as an SNS account.
Social Networking Service

Fb and gmail not working in LPP widgets

Help
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Gmail stopped working a while ago due to change made in Gmail v2.3.5. I always kept a backup of an older version but now they've blocked that from sending/receiving mail so you have to update and lose the functionality.
Facebook still works for me though. Try clearing the cache and re-authenticating through the launcher pro settings. There's a special forum for LauncherPro, you;re better off asking there rather than the SGS apps forum.
I've been using Android Pro Widgets instead lately, give that a try!
Thanks danny. I followed your advice.

there's a workaround for gmail, it is not very easy to do though.
http://koxx3.wordpress.com/create-y...-allowing-content-sharing-with-external-apps/
uninstall lpp, unistall gmail, install modded apk, reinstall lpp and you're done.
Cool - there must be a pre-modded Gmail apk somewhere out there, no way I'm gonna go through all those steps...
EDIT: Found one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199518
EDIT AGAIN: Turns out the modded apk will allow other apps to read your emails, safer way is to sign both the Gmail app and LauncherPro APKs with APK Manager and reinstall them both - works fine for me!

S Memo Sync

I've tried syncing to both when I wipe/flash a new rom and I've had trouble with both. Neither one can seem to restore my notes correctly as well as including duplicates. Which one do you guys sync to? Is there any tricks I'm missing?
And I've seen that they changed the calendar and notes on jelly bean tw to the same names as the apps found on the note 10.1. Do you guys think these will finally be able to sync notes between phone and tablet?

Try evernote, works perfectly for my needs. It syncs to a free 60mb storage.

If you go into the root of your phone you could find the smemo folder and just copy it onto your external card.. after a flash, put it back.

I would suggest Gtasks as the closest and simplest note/task to the memos app but with sync.
You can try the others like Springpad, Wunderlist and Evernote too but I think they're overly complex for what you want.

Tip : Deleting Locked Bookmarks on Galaxy Note 2

The Rogers version of the Galaxy Note II , SGH-I317M , comes preloaded with a number of bookmarks in the Internet browser.
Those bookmarks are locked, they can not be deleted , put in a folder or even moved in the bookmark list.
Anyhow, found a tip that deleted them...
(It also deletes your bookmarks, and resets all browser settings at a minimum)
Settings / Storage / Applications / All
Find Internet then Force Stop , Clear Cache, Clear data
Not sure of everything it does, but it reset all the browser's settings back to default and wiped all bookmarks, mine and Rogers.
They were replaced with a few standard ones like Google, Facebook, etc, but those can be deleted or moved.
Note the original data file was 27MB , after the process and restarting the browser the data file was only 1.1MB,
so not sure what was in it originally but the browser seems back to normal once I reset my options.
Worked on att note

OMG, thank you, thank you, thank you, att note 2 was driving me nuts, finally no yp mobile on the contacts but the stupid book marks were locked.
Bookmarks
Thanks, this works on T Mobile GN2
Does anyone know how to remove the "other bookmarks" envelope under your email?
I was playing around with Kies Air the other day and was able to delete the "permanent bookmarks" one-by-one by browsing the phone from my laptop, without needing to erase settings, cache, etc.
Thanks worked with a verizon note 2

Probably not, but just asking

I wanna add my email account to the Android market app to my little brothers phone, he has a galaxy note 2 aswell, so he can use the apps i use, is there a way possible of doing this without him getting all my emails and contacts?
Is there a way i can transfer all my google purchases to another email account?

It can be done, I shared some of my apps with my mom. I don't think it's right or fair to share paid apps because it's stealing and dishonest. Only you paid to use the app. XDA is not the place to ask how to cheat developers or steal from them and to do so will likely result in getting yourself banned.
It's actually easier to use S Beam to share apps between devices that have this feature. A lot of my co workers have SGIII and one has Note2 and we use S Beam to share photos, videos, and apps all the time.

Not looking to cheat out devs, if that was the case, id just side load the apps, can easily find em online and skip the license checking aswell. My little brother is in 8th grade, not really working or anything. And i buy apps that he uses alone aswell.
And the reason to switch the purchases to another account was so i can keep my personal emails contacts and calendars separate from google app side of things.
Thanks for the input thou

Just add your account to play store on his phone, just don't sync anything else. I did it on my mom's note2.
