that is the theme you have installed when not in use its disabled
I realized it was a theme after posting this. I didn't install it though. It came pre-installed and showed frozen in titanium backup. But it is safe to remove!!! Just like this post lol

There is always JRummy's Rom Toolbox Lite !
Or if you are trying to modify a ZIP file, you could always just open it and delete anything you consider "unneeded" yourself, I found I actually learned a fair bit doing it that way.
Another option is that you can use titanium backup to "freeze" the apps.
They are effectively removed, but you can "thaw" them back to normal in the event that it messes something up.
I think you need the paid version of TB to do that though, but I like doing that before removing the apps.
I have used noth the ROM Toolbox and Titanium backup. I prefer titanium because you dont fullyt remove it, but by freezing it you take it out of the picture without having to worry about seriously deleting something you shouldnt have.
Use titanium backup free to uninstall system apks.

Bloatware List?
Anyone know of a list anywhere that shows what software/processes are installed which could be frozen safely?

There are a couple of lists floating around but I haven't seen them in some time and some of them are either very outdated or for a different model phone (a lot of apps are still the same however).
Use the search at the very top of every XDA screen to search all the XDA forums. Learning to search is half the battle, keep search queries simple at first. Most questions can be answered by using the search tools here.

+1 to using Titanium or something similar to freeze apps.
First of all, always backup your phone prior to going on a binge removing or freezing apps. Freezing is a much better alternative than deleting/removing apps because once they're gone, some of them may be very difficult to get back.

What I did was made a list from different developers rom. Like naoekrom beta 2.1 he list all the bloatware he took out his rom in his second post. Whenever I go to a different rom I grab my list... Go to root explorer app and under system/app delete those on my list...

As mentioned - it's part of the base android features and can't be disabled by the user. It CAN however be turned ON if your carrier has blocked it - see

I was just hoping to be able to get rid of that "Mobile Hotspot" app since it's annoying to still see a T-Mobile icon on my app list.
Anything for the tmobile version?

Is there any way to generate a list of apps installed from the market and sideloaded apps?
Preferably a list that can be copied to a text file.
Thanks....

Thank you. But that only lists all the apps, not which are side loaded. Do you know of any way to do that?
I don't believe there is a way to tell if an app is side loaded unless you specifically remember or check the market for ones that don't receive updates.

How does Play Market know that the app has been side loaded? Can we use the same technique to determine an apps "sideloadedness" ourselves?
Thanks in advance...
It may not help, but Titanium Backup has a Market Link feature where I think you can create/restore or disable a market link for apps. I've never used this feature so im not real sure its what youre looking for, but maybe you can find a way to filter based on this?

Unfortunately Titanium Backup does not differentiate between the two or give you a way to filter on side loaded app.

A "sideloaded" app is an app that has been installed on the phone without it being downloaded with Android Play/Market. Most file explorers will do this.
The latest versions of Android Play/Market will not update an app that has been sideloaded. It only allows you to open or uninstall the them. While this makes sense for paid apps (they might be pirated) it does not make sense for free apps (such as apps purchased on Amazon or download from XDA).
I sideload many apps (some apps from XDA) and I am trying to make a text list of all of my installed apps and then denote which of the apps were loaded through Google Play/Market and which were sideloaded. Any free Android Play/Market available apps that I find that I have sideloaded I will uninstall and re-install using Android Play/Market so they will update appropriately.
That is why I am trying to do this.

I believe they are signed differently. A sideloaded app will NOT receive updates from the Play Store.

TB will show you which apps have market links, don't see a way to export it but if you email the whole list you could print it and cross them off or just load them into a spreadsheet... Not as quick but should be <10 mins.

With this in mind does anybody make an app that will list all of the install apps and whether they are side loaded or not?

Unfortunately I have used Titanium Backup Market Doctor to link everything to the Market so I dont' think that will work. If there is a way to get that information from Titanium Backup, please let me know how.
Thanks...
Market tools, market auto updates only shows me market apps and I've done the link repair thing too...
JKKKK no I didn't. I thought I had but I never ran it, whoops.
I fixed the links and ran autoupdater after selecting all, only market loaded apps showed up man so.....
Hello Everyone,
Since it looks like I will be stuck on OTA 4.3 version for awhile,I might as well play with it for awhile... I was just wondering what would be the best way to de-bloat this sucker? I am rooted already and have CWM 6.0.4.3 installed. Has there been a script developed already like Ashman's for this new version?
Thank you in advance!

I haven't seen one yet but you can definetly delete carrier apps like my account etc and google apps like google maps safely.

Also, make sure you make a nandroid backup before you delete any system files with titanium. There is no other way to go back if you delete the wrong app and/or softbrick.

Please understand that I am not vouching for anything on that list, even the things I have frozen with TiBu
Thank you all for your help with this. I got rid of a bunch of apps I didn't want and things are running smoothly

I have found as others have if you turn off Paper Artist that Gallery force closes when you attempt to share a picture. Not sure if using Tibu will cause the same issue, I haven't re-rooted yet. You may want to test if you got rid of Paper Artist. Just a thought.

What is everyone using to back up and restore apps and app data? Ive used Titanium in the past but always had some type of issue when restoring data so I stopped restoring altogether and I have been reinstalling all my apps through the Playstore. I also have Rom Tool Box installed but have not tried it to restore yet.
Is there an app out there that works great restoring apps and data and if so which one. Thanks

Ever since I bought N3, TiB never worked for me, at least scheduled backup didn't. It takes less then 10 seconds for it finish backing up apps with new data, and when I sort by new backups, I see most apps where not backed up at all.
I've sent several emails to developers, but it's like sending it to a black hole, no responses.
It's a shame really, as TiB used to be the best.
Hellium is a good alternative too, especially if you are planning not doing root for a while, but it fails to backup/restore a lot too.

Thanks guys gonna try MBUP tonight and see how it does. I never had any luck restoring data.
Has anyone restored their app and data from 4.3 to KK yet? If so was it ok or did you have to do anything different?
Reason I ask is because going from 4.1.2 to 4.3 I and many or all others I should say had an issue woth TIBU and the TIBU restore app was created.

The playstore doesn't list "My Apps" anymore, how do you restore the apps now if you don't remember them?

Did you back them up with anything? Also why isnt the playstore showing your apps thats strange unless yoir not signed in to your Google account. It has to be that. Check in playstore if your signed in. When your there slide your finger from left of screen to right and you'll see the menu. On top it should have your email sign in.
