Not familiar with the following apps, are those ok to remove/freeze?
Already froze My Verizon without any problem.
Android 8.1 rooted, using Titanium Backup.
Any info will be appreciated. Thanks!

As far as I know you can just uninstall the preinstalled apps. I think it's three of them

Thanks for the reply. Although, there's only one problem, I actually do not have any apps, they only popup in rooted apps.
I think the reason behind is when I upgraded to 8.1, I had the sim in during the download, but then I took the sim out and restarted the phone then installed the update. So, I think maybe that's why they are hidden?
The MY Verizon app too was not visible in the app drawer, but showed up in the TB list. I was familiar with that so just froze it.
Are you on Verizon or not? I would leave any Verizon app alone if you are on Verizon minus those you can install/uninstall the the Play Store or Settings.

Switch the app processing mode (under preferences) to classic. It's not ideal but it works.

It works absolutely fine for me. It might be worth running root checker from the market.

I had this problem yesterday upon flashing 4.0.2. The way I fixed it was by updating its bootloader to the latest OTA one.
No need to change modes. TN has been updated for ICS and works 100% now with the Galaxy Nexus
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.

Depends, how clean are you trying to make it?
I remove a ton of stuff, but I do actually use a few of the Asus apps.
I'd also like to see if we could create a list of everything you can uninstall, personally until CM12 comes to the ZF2 I'd like to uninstall every single non-essential ASUS application to the point where my device is as close to stock android as possible. Anyone know of such a list?

Fairly clean tried a few asus apps some seem like they'd be useful but a lot aren't

I'll get some things put together for app/location. There's a lot that can be removed but causes the Asus experience to suffer. There's a lot that just shouldn't be there.
I'll try to get a list with things organized by impact. There's a bunch of stuff that's installed but doesn't even show up. Straight up junk.

If you're unrooted, you can't uninstall system apps with the regular uninstall process. It will only uninstall updates back to the stock build version. Then it will update again from the Play Store, which is probably what you're seeing.

Allo does you should have it figured out assuming you just unboxed and turned on the phone the first time if it's there then yes. Android doesn't auto download stuff unless you have a virus.

We may have to agree to disagree
Until they merge some of the apps I don't agree. Google Voice, Hangouts, Messages, Allo, Duo. Once they merge together/retire then it will be better.
Anyone get an unlocked version directly from Google? If so, was it preinstalled? If it was, could it be uninstalled or just disabled?
Pixel 3XL, stock rooted, no weird apps, just normal updates. My phone app keeps stopping and have to force close. Just tried to add number to create contact and app freezes up. Tried to end a call but no end button etc. Anyone else experiencing this? Any idea how to fix? Thanks a lot
Are you using any themes? If so you should check for updates. A few weeks back the My Verizon app was causing some problems with the dialer as well. If you have it, you can try uninstalling it.

Join the beta program and update, or go to apk mirror and install the 64bit no dpi
the ultimate solution will most likely be flashing factory image with wipe.
