[Q] Safe to remove? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I have looked at the ''junk app thread'' but I did not see any google apps on there. Does that mean they are not safe to remove? I do not use any of the google app's and they are clogging up my app tray, can I remove them without them having an affect on the market or youtube? Thanks in advance

Safest answer? DON'T! Most google apps and processes are inter linked, so messing with one app can cause force closes on another. worse still you may no be able to make calls or send texts.

Use Titanium Backup to freeze the apps before removing.

I use antek app manager

[Q] is there an app to stop apps and games loading in background

is there an app to stop apps and games loading in background
No it's the way android works, kill one background app. And android will just let another one start up.

Do not use task killers. They probably do more harm than good.
With the "Autostarts" app, you can actually prevent the app service from loading in the first place. Is that what you mean?
You can try titanium backups freeze mode where you can stop certain apps from loading without uninstalling them. There is a safe list on these forums, have a look for them.
This is all pointless though, As i said before freeze or stop one process, and android will just let another one start up. The only way around it is like only having 5 apps installed . Anyway lots of free ram is a bad thing on android, it means your system is not optimised. Remember android uses ram diffrent to windows. You should have 40-60mb of free memory. That means android is running it's own workload well
If you don't have the paid version of titanium backup you can also try bloatfreezer. You can get it from the android market and it's free

TB breaking apps on Intergration...

Any help here would be appreciated. This happened twice with google maps and once with facebook. Instead of integrating, apps are being removed from phone.
I am on stangs rom the latest official deodexed gingerbread rom...never had this problem before.
Are you restoring data+apps? And if so what Rom did u back them up with?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Nah. When I install a new rom (like this one for instance) I only restore user apps and data. I leave all the internal apps alone.
Soo after getting updates for internal apps (like Gmail/Maps/Facebook) I use the intergrate button and then **poof** the apps are removed. Icon still shows up under system/apps in Root Explorer but the app and icon don't show up anymore on phone.
So what do you guys recommend? Should I just do this manually in Root Explorer? How can I integrate on my own to save some space?
Just wanted to bump. I know I can do this the reverse way while rooted. I guess by removing the app and reinstalling again but anyone else have any ideas?
Still getting this problem.
How much free space is is /system? TB may fail on moving if there is not enough space free.

Hmmm I bet you are on to something. Only about 3-4 mb free. Even though I can free up about another 40 mb by deleting an app.disabled folder I created. Thanks man I bet this is why.

Pre-installed ?

Is there any way to add some apps/games to pre-installed ?
If there is a way to do it please tell me how im a newbie and I might ask alot of questions.
Regards,
JC2
Well basically pre-installed means "installed apps, (if paid or under the copyright such as google apps) still protected by the law but legally and originally dependend to the ROM provided by manufacturer/producer/network operator/developer and free to use for everyone who owns the device" which is mainly the phone.
So I think there is no reasonable way to add pre-installed games/apps, but only download/buy them and just install...
I don't really see the point of this question but I'll be happy if my post helps you.
Cheers!
Put the apk in the system/app folder then install it.
That doesn't sound like what you're asking, but the closest I know you can do. Or you can use Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app.

In Titanium Backup long press the app and choose convert to system app. You need the paid for version though.

Any way?

Is there any way to check recently uninstalled files? I accidentally deleted some apps but may have deleted one I don't know about so I'm wondering. In opened the app drawer and put it in the uninstall "mode" and then accidentally clicked a few things whilst not knowing.

Hmmm, to be honest I dont think there is a way to see what you uninstalled, short of going through Titanium Backup to see what your "non-installed" backups are and comparing them to what you have installed.

Yeah but somehow everything confirmed as well lol. Thanks for the help guys

I'm not sure about doing it that way. I used titanium backup app to get rid of mine.

Titanium is what I would recommend as well (after root). You can try freezing the unwanted apps first, to make sure it doesn't adversely affect anything else. Then when you are convinced the apps are okay to remove, uninstall using Titanium.
