Just wanted to start a discussion thread to share screenshots, lists, etc. Of safely frozen system apps on stock Pixel 2xl ROMs.
Feel Free to share frozen apps for other ROMs as well.
Here is what I have so far with no issues on stock with Google Fi.

Trying to clean all the sony bloat out of this phone while still having core functionality (camera working 100% etc)... is there a list of all the apps that are safe to remove (via titanium backup) from the stock rom?
I was going to just flash an AOSP or CM11 rom to go vanilla but I have read that the camera suffers and you still have the stability issues
Any advice from someone who is running a "clean" z1 compact?

Well, there's not much Sony bloat on the phone, it's not a Samsung or HTC. I prefer the Sony calendar to the stock Google one, for example.
Also if you don't want to use the Sony picture app you can get rid of Album and just keep Photos. Similar is true for Walkman vs Play Music (I kept both).
Then you can get rid of Playstation apps and TrackID (you can use Shazam if you want). I'd leave it at that.

Hi guys,
I tried looking around but couldn't find a solution but i have a custom ROM and i wanted to install a few stock apps like the remote app and the power saving app because i was used to them, where can i find them and install them?
You can see if they are ported to aosp by browsing the themes and apps section.... But as a rule, apps made for Sense require the Sense framework to function. So sense based roms should have the apps, or at least you could manually install them.
As far as finding them, some may be on the play store, or you can wait for someone to upload them for you. ?

Hi, thank you for the reply, yes i can now agree with you that i need a sense based ROM to have the stock apps working because they are available on the play store and you can install the app but when you run it, it refuses and says unsupported device.
Thanks for this
I want to make a ROM with Best Of Breed apps in it (Android BOB ).
I will start with a KitKat ROM (probably PA) then replace all the stock system apps with best of breed apps.
Apps must be free and ideally without ads, or with ads that can be blocked with adaway .
If they do have ads they can't be be too intrusive and the app has to be significantly better than alternatives to justify it.
Features are important but if an app causes excessive battery drain it will get bumped from the list.
There might be licensing issues in releasing a ROM with apps from the Play Store but I will address those later.
First I want a working ROM for myself.
I need help making a list of stock applications and the best alternatives.
I'll start with a list of what I have on my phone right now then update the original posts as people make suggestions.
When you make a suggestion please provide a link (you don't have to restrict yourself to the Play Store) and explain why it is better than the current app in that category.
Feel free to add another category if something is missing.

* I have multiple backup solutions here as none does everything. Titanium backup is reliable but the free version doesn't do batch restore. Parcel does batch restore but I don't feel 100% confident with it. Nandroid manager can extract from Nandroid backups. Call Logs/SMS backup seems to have to be done by separate apps.
I recently installed a custom 6.0.1 ROM (CM13-based Mokee, which is rooted) on my old Galaxy Note 2. I find that I'm really missing some of the Samsung apps (like their email, camera & locker) for which I can't find acceptable alternatives in the Google Play store. Is there a way to get access to the Samsung Galaxy Apps store from my custom ROM so that I can install some of the apps that I used to have before my (ahem) "upgrade?"
AFAIK no, there is no way to get the proprietary apps from stock Touchwiz over to a CM/AOSP based ROM, especially considering you would be using apps from Kitkat Touchwiz on CM/AOSP Marshmallow. They just have too many dependencies baked into the stock ROM other than just having the APK. The only thing you could try: go back to rooted OH3, Titanium Backup (or similar) the apps you desire, then when you go back to Mokee try to restore them. With 95% certainty I would say they won't work. If you heavily rely on the touchwiz apps then go back to OH3, root it, put on xposed framework and Wanam xposed and you will have a decent amount of customization while retaining the stock apps.
Hey guys,
I have problem with new Derpfest July updates. It's killing apps in the background.
I only switch the apps to another apps but the apps immediately closed and when I switch to first apps again, the apps restarting or relogin.
Please anyone tell me what Rom and version I should install.
Thank you
