Titanium Back Up - What To Freeze? What to uninstall?

[Auxilium]

So I recently rooted my phone and downloaded Titanium Back Up and noticed the freeze option and uninstall option. I'm wondering as I don't want to mess up my new lovely, amazing, fantastic, sexy, sleek, technologically superior Atrix 4G what I'm able to freeze which I'm guessing deactivates or puts the program/app into a type of hibernation. Also I know the phone has bloatware and also wondering what I'm able to uninstall without destroying my phone.



Any info or help on this would be greatly appreciated or if someone can redirect me to a thread that I overlooked would be great.

Thanks in advance.

You're definitely on the right track of mind. Free and not uninstall. It it can't be uninstalled from simply going to Settings > Applications > Manage applications, then if it's uninstalled it will break the next update.

There's a list on XDA, which I don't know if it's been updated since the 2.3.4 update (which added some new bloat/Blur stuff), of safe-to-freeze stuff. Let me see if I can grab a link.

Edit: So, it hasn't been updated lately, but here's the old list of apps that be frozen without herting the function of the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459

Edit 2: Thanks to scarth for posting this in another thread; newer list (link to his post): New Blur junk in Task Manager (what is this?)

Thanks for the two threads das. I get awesome battery life as it is, but things that have no use to me and are running in the background have no reason to suck up my battery.

Edit: The list in the xda forums I'm also going to give a try since I don't use anything from the list.

Thanks again

Ya.... I only freeze apps.... much safer.
You are not going to get much storage back by deleting anyway so why bother....

I froze quite a bit from the xda forums list and all from scraths list. So hopefully I will get more out of my battery, even though it was doing great battery wise anyway but like I said why have useless things sucking up your battery life.
