Freezing Apps on Pro / Running Rooted GB

[jhalsey205]

I love Gingerbread on the Pro, and love having it rooted (kudos to P3), but have noticed that its a little trickier to freeze unwanted apps (via Titanium Backup) without stumbling upon system conflicts.

Note - I use Launcher Pro Plus for my launcher app. I also use Handcent for SMS and K9 for all my email (4 gmail/google apps accounts); no MS Exchange

Thus far, the things I have successfully frozen:

• Bookmarks Widget
• CityID
• Email
• Email Authenticator
• Files
• Flickr
• Help Center
• Home screen tips
• LastFM
• Messaging
• My Verizon Mobile
• Myspace
• New & Weather
• News
• NFS Shift
• Orkut
• Photobucket
• Quickoffice
• Rich Location
• Skype mobile
• Skyrock Authenticator
• Social Messaging
• Social Messaging Services
• Social Networking
• Social Sharing
• Social Status
• Task Manager
• Toggle Widgets
• V Cast Apps
• Voice Commands
• VZ Navigator
• Weather
• Yahoo Contacts

Thanks for the list.

I'm surprised they didn't take some of these out themselves.

What does Yahoo Contacts do exactly?

Great, i froze some other stuff with no issues except the Yahoo Mail Authenticator 2.3.3: with this frozen Contacts Storage was crashing everytime that i was trying to access Contacts or Text Messages. It's weird because none of my contacts has any yahoo email and i thought that might be the problem..

Another thing is.. Is anybody seeing 3G Mobile Hotspot in titanium backup? With Froyo i froze 3G Mobile Hotspot but with GB looks like i can't because it doesn't figure in the app list of Titanium Backup

I believe that 3g hotspot is built into the system rather than just an app in the system. Across the board on motorolas gingerbread builds, people are having a tough time figuring out how to freeze it.

Sorry for bumping this threat, however, I am very curious about the following: Why freeze apps instead of just uninstalling them?

1. It's safer because it's a reversible action
2. If certain apps are missing, it can refuse to apply a system update. Thus, you can freeze annoying apps, defrost them when a system update is available, apply the update, then refreeze your apps.
