Hi i was wondering if i can freeze these builtin apps without any issues?
Earth
Email (non gmail)
Google+
News and weather
Street view
Talk
Voice dialer
Voice search
Not planning to use them ever, so i plan on freezing them or is it better to remove them?
Yes, you should be fine.
Ok thanks, how about MAPS? I dont think ill use it anytime soon, is it safe to freeze?
You can uninstall maps I think. If not, yes you can freeze
You can safely freeze and/or remove all of those. To be safe just freeze them and if you don't have any ill side affects after a couple of days then remove them.

Freeze talk and test all features work for play (market) . Past market piggy backed off talk for account verification. If all works then good to go. All the other apk are good to go for sure

when i flash a rom I'm looking to delete bloatware.
I remember reading somewhere that Google Talk is tied to the apps that you download and built in Gmail, so probably not, though I can't confirm this...
I just uninstalled it via titanium backup... No problems with gmail so far.
Edit: for some reason, I wasn't able to restore talk using titanium backup. The restore option wasn't there
It is always running and am wondering if it's draining the battery.
Get autostarts from android store and disable it. But Ive read up about uninstalling it a week ago and it got mixed reactions.
Just turn it off....go in and choose settings...then uncheck auto start...the choose settings and sign out.

I don't think that keeps it from restarting. Everytime you reboot your phone, I believe it starts up google services and gtalk is one of them. That's why if you check running services, it will show it running when your phone is done booting.
I've never removed it because I do use it but when I set gtalk to not auto start it broke autosync in my google apps (gmail, market updates, etc.)
dont get rid of it, it has adverse affects on your market. just go into google talk and turn off auto sign in and then just sign out and never go back in... you need google talk service for the market to function properly.
I have a feeling that the answer to this question will be hard reset but here goes.
I have 2 accounts on my phone. Google Apps and my other Google account.
All is good and I installed them the right way round (non G Apps account first) so that maps, marketplace etc use the right accounts.
But for some reason I have my non Google apps account setup on Google Talk and of course I want the other one. And there seems to be no way of changing this.
So any clues? Is there a way to change this (I have had a good look) or am I stuck?
Sorry, this has absolutely nothing related to your question, but how did you get Gtalk to work on your device? I got invited but was told it's only for US users? lol
GTalk is global instant messaging, are you not thinking of Google Voice?

What do you have the Apps account set up for?

Do you mean why do I have it?
Email, docs, calendar and so on. The usual thing you have Google Apps for.
I have the 2nd (primary) Gmail account because you need this for maps, Google Checkout (and thus marketplace) and so forth.
For now you can't use your Apps account for all other Google services
Have you tried removing the Apps account, starting GTalk, then re-adding it?
I think it's the app that's at fault really - it doesn't give you an option to select a different account.
I'd suggest though that it possibly needs to be this way, since we know GTalk and Market are somehow linked together.
Why not install another IM client for your other GTalk account?

Dave
Try going to Settings - Applications and delete data from Google Talk Service and Google Talk Storage, see what happens.

I don't think it is faulty. I think is it designed this way.
A most Google services need a Gmail account. Talk, Checkout, Marketplace and so on and so on.
Google (for now) do not let you use your Google Apps account (if you have one) for these other services (although they have announced this will change)
On top of this, Android has the limitation that you cannot delete your PRIMARY Google account.
I believe the issue I am trying to deal with is tied into all of this.
If I have to do a hard reset then I will wait as Google have announced that we will soon be able to have our Google Apps account linked to all the other non apps services and you just know that just like the move from googlemail to gmail a few weeks ago, this will also need a hard reset!!!

Would you care to explain why that would DESTROY Gtalk? AFAIK deleting data for a specific application is like hard-reseting just that one application. I've done it many times for Gmail, browser etc. (I admit, haven't done it with Gtalk and am not willing to test because I don't want to lose my settings and history). Please don't just assume, give facts.
I'm pretty sure it's impossible to DESTROY an app on a non-rooted phone, or using just the options/settings Google/HTC provided.

It doesn't DESTROY talk. I know this because I have already tried it.
It didn't fix the problem either

Just re-read your OP and think there is no solution for your particular situation. AFAIK Gtalk is linked to your primary gmail account (the first one you setup). It uses the same autentication and port as Market and as such they are linked much deeper than I understand (e.g. it's well known that if your Market download stalls you can solve it by loging in Gtalk).
The only solution I can think about would be to use another app for Gtalk, there are quite a few good ones on the Market.

I am able to delete google account from my desire without problems in settings...accounts&sync...

I have the same issue.
Phone registered with personal gmail account.
Company uses google to host their email and I can not chat with anyone else in google talk.
To make it worse I have logins for some consultancies I work with and can not use those.
All I want to be able to do is select the google account to be used for a talk session.
Too much to ask?
Having more than 1 gmail account for email is not an issues , why so for talk?
Before you flame, I have searched the forums but haven't found a post within the last 6 months that definitively answers the question, so maybe something may have changed.
I'm looking for a way to transfer purchases from one google account to another. I got my phone while in college and used my Google Apps account from school (<EMAIL1>@mst.edu). It wouldn't let me use that account for google checkout so I had to add <EMAIL2>@gmail.com to purchase apps. This seems to work fine and when I go into google checkout and log in with EMAIL2, I see my purchases.
Now come the issues. If I try to switch to EMAIL2 only on my Evo 4G (software reset), I can pull mail but not app purchases.
The reason I want to stop using my google apps account is that a lot of google services seem to be sketchy with integration, IE Google Reader, Music, and Plus all work great on a PC but from the android phone, no dice.
I'd like to figure out a way to migrate my app purchases to [email protected] And use it for all of my email and other services to get away from my 'professional email account' EMAIL2 and my google apps account EMAIL1.
so just a review:
[email protected] - Google Apps account from college, application integration poor
[email protected] - "professional email", don't want social media services integrated with this. used only for resumes, etc
[email protected] - personal email that I want to use for everything.
My only solution so far seems to be spending $50 to purchase all of the apps again that I use REGULARLY or ~$120 for all of my app purchases total.
Anyone ideas?
Its worth a shot, but have you tried downloading / having all the apps you want, then use titanium to move to the sdcard, the sign on on email3, then restore? It may not fix the 'licensing' issue, but you should be able to use them still. Also, you can try [maybe from a pc] log onto google, and see if you can go into account management, then change your android email account, or call/email their tech support and have them manually change it.
Titanium backup is moot until a new root is released. my Evo was overheating and bootlooping so I just got a refurb preloaded with 2.3.3 .
As of a couple months ago, Google tech support says no. It could've changed since then, you'll need to check with Google though.
There are non-root backup apps, but if the apps are protected then I don't believe they'll be able to back them up. And if the apps have a license check in place that renders the app useless, then you're SOL. I get licensing errors with restoring with Titanium Backup, so you're bound to come across the same problem. I'm glad that apps use license checks though, it cuts back on pirating.
Quick question...
I have a friend with a GN and a google apps account. Google Talk is constantly throwing a error since chat is disabled on the account.
What is the danger of disabling GTalk? Cons?
I know with Google Earth if you disable it after a reboot it is re-enabled. I assume it is tied into MAPS or something that needs it so it just enables.
SO I guess is talk tied into gmail and disabling it would not work? Or would he lose functionality by disabling it?
P.S. he is not rooted or unlocked nor will he.
I remember deleting gtalk on my Sony Ericsson x8 caused a **** load of problems, I couldn't use the market or any google services. Tell him to be careful.
I don't think android let's you disable gtalk anyway.
I'm rooted and have gtalk frozen by titanium with no ill effect.

Thank you. I think ics disable and ti freezing do the same thing.
We will give it a shot.

I'd like to remove these apk's (just because I'm a slim/neat freak).
Google Partner Setup (GooglePartnerSetup.apk).
Google Play Services (GmsCore.apk)
Google Key Chain (KeyChain.apk)
Market Feedback Agent (GoogleFeedback.apk)
Can I get of all (or some) of them? Or will it cause ROM/Google account problems?
Freeze them with titanium backup.
If market or anything acts up, just unfreeze

I've done that. But it's hard to know what to blame on them, when something does happen.
I've seen the phone go a couple days without any issues when all were frozen. And I've also seen random "odd" issues that I can't blame on anything specifically.
But who knows what/how/when freeze issues may crop up, when you don't know specifically how these items interact with the phone and when/how they are used.

I've personally froze keychain and had no bad effects for a long time.
Keep them frozen. Might be battery savers on the long run

I usually remove all of them and I haven't encountered any issues thus far.

Don't touch GmsCore if you don't want to lose functionality. It interacts with the Play Store, Youtube and other apps. Others are perfect to freeze though.
