Safe apps to remove

Was unable to find this but what apps can I freeze/remove to free up space?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

Any of them you don't use. Might depend on the ROM though, some custom roms might depend on certain apps.

it may even be easier to say which ones you want, and then get a yes/no.
just from what i remember coming with it, though, almost all. id suguest not doing:
downloads,gallery, google, the play store, settings, voice search.
i dont even know if you CAN disable those, but... yeah

Email
Exchange server
I used to delete Gmail, but I've just started using it again
All the live wallpapers
News and weather
Currents
Movie studio

Added more to the list, that is a huge amount of bloat removed and seems to be running fine without it! Definitely seems much more stock Android as well.

Good thread but quick question pls. I see many of you are disabling the hot spot. One of the top things i use is the a hot spot for my daughters homework while in the car and such. Is there a secondary hot spot youre using?
Thx

Not that I know of, but if you need it, just don't disable it
The idea here is to get to stock Android, then perhaps enable the things you needed from Verizon.

I'm a little shocked anyone would disabled the moto features. I guess this thread is about the most stock experience. But if the moto apps were on the market, & I was rocking a nexus. I would still have it downloaded lol

Yeah I may still re-enable some of those.
Also disabled the Camera app and installed the Google Camera. No reason to have two

I have disabled most of these apps. Now I can not answer my phone when it rings. The phone rings, but no animation comes up to let me swipe or any way to choose to answer it. What have I disabled/changed that would cause this? Every thing else seems to work fine.

Post your list and maybe we can figure it out. My guess is maybe you only disabled some of the Motorola specific ones? I have the full list as advertised in the first post and have no prob answering from a screen off.

Sorry, I was unable to post them. I did go into settings and enabled every one that I had disabled with my wife periodically calling me. I also randomly turned the phone off and on a few times. Still nothing. The phone rings, but the answering icon does not appear and I can not answer. Is there another way to answer the phone? Could I have turned something off that would affect this or maybe download an app?

I just went into recovery and wiped the cache partition, reboot. This did not fix the problem. Don't know what else to try? I'm thinking it is something simple. I will take it into Version tomorrow.

That's really strange. Maybe it wasn't related to the disabling?

Possibly. I've been trying to remember what I may have done. I received a call yesterday morning just fine. Yesterday afternoon, I received a call and could not answer it because I do not get the answer phone icon. Most of the time in between those two calls, I was driving and not messing with the phone. ?

Wow. That's a lot. Update on my problem. I took the phone into Verizon this morning. The lady that helped thinks I probably uninstalled something to cause this.
What she did to fix the the problem was to do a complete default wipe.
That seems to have resolved it.
It was working properly when I left the store. In now I'm the process of restoring all my apps. That takes a little while.

Glad you were able to get it working.

That's strange, because you can't really uninstall anything, only disable.
itanas, wow that's a big list. I think some are stock Android apps, so that's cool that you can disable them, but I don't know that it gets us the pure Android.
I'll note for anyone reading that I re-enabled the Moto, Moto Activity, and Moto Display apps so I could have the notifications back (since this phone has no notification LED w/the stock software).
Also updated the first post with Camera.

Has any one tired this yet?

I've been into recovery, but just wiped the cache partitions.

[Q] GPSD?

Hi guys,
I just got my Note 4 few days ago and everything fine, but lately I'm noticing that the device is getting warm and battery life is not as good as I thought when I read battery is 3200 mAh. Looking at the processes I notice something called GPSD consuming even more than OS and screen.
This is the list of apps that I have installed on my phone:
Phone
Contacts
Messages
Internet
Gallery
Camera
Music
Video
Clock
S Planner
S Note
Scrapbook
Email
Calculator
Settings
Voice Recorder
My files
Galaxy Apps

Repost for instagram
Metrobus (related to the public transportation in my country)
Photo Grid
Dropbox
QQPlayer
Shazam
Foursquare
Instagram
Whatsapp+
ES File Explorer
Samsung Gear
And the rest of the garbage apps that came with the rom such as Claro Juegos, Claro Music, 3DTourViewer, Calendar Storage, Facebook, Flipboard, Google Play Books, Google Play Games, Google Play Music, Google Play Newsstand, Hangout, Live weather, Maps, PEN.UP, Portal Claroideas, S Healt, Street View, Talkback, Unified Daemon are already turned off.
Does anyone see an app that might be causing the problem? BTW, I'm from Panamá and my carrier is Claro Panamá, so you see a lot of Claro garbages apps preinstalled.
My phone is not rooted (because of warranty stuffs, etc). Please if someone has had this issue before and know how to solve it I'd appreciate it. I've done pretty mucho all I can (factory reset, flash rom via odin)...

Anyone, please?

Turn off location services or at least switch them from high accuracy to power saving mode. You dont realy need hps to be on until you use navigation program

#u can chose what launcher to keep, and can keep both, but u cant remove both
Note: This is just an idea but what i think is that, u can romove EVERY app that didnt replaced the stock ones, This apply to any Gapps package, The only app that is exception, that i noticed, is THe "Google Play Services"
After removing them from system u just need to factory reset and, if nothing went wrong, ur smartphone should run smothly without any crashes related to the apps.
I hope this helps somebody, what means that im not the only dumb who cant script that custom package.
Cheers,
