[Q] Rooted Droid X questions. 5 issues. Please Help!

---

Okay, so my Droid X has been rooted for about a month now and I've been going happy-go-lucky with deleting bloatware off of my device. Thusfar I believe I've uninstalled the following: Amazon MP3 player, City ID, Kindle, News, News and Weather, Weather, Terminal Emulator, My Verizon Mobile, Skype, VZ Navigator, and Visual Voicemail. My first two issues relate to this.

#1- I went to Titanium Backup the other day I noticed as I was scrolling up and down the list that contactsunconnected.apk was frozen. I only have the free version of Titanium Backup so I don't even have the capability to freeze apps, so this baffled me. Anyway, when I noticed it I unfroze it and went along my merry way. When I restarted my phone afterward I noticed it was frozen again. I found out that it re-freezes it every time that I restart the phone. So...what the heck does that file even do? And is it okay to leave it frozen? Or should I unfreeze it ever time?

#2- AFTER I'd uninstalled all these apps I happened to be browsing some forums and I was reading that it wasn't a good idea to uninstall these apps, but rather..."freeze" or "rename" the apps so they wouldn't run, but they would still be accessible later on. I read the reason for them needing to be accessible is that if you wanna receive an update (like Gingerbread) in the future you still have to have ALL the bloatware that came stock with the phone. How difficult is it to get this bloatware back? Does anyone have a link to these files?

#3- This is slightly unrelated to the other two issues, but how do you guys feel about the stock Droid X file manager vs Astro File manager? I refuse to be redundant and have two apps that are so similar, but I've noticed that each one has some different strengths that the other doesn't. I really wanna get rid of one, but I'm not sure which one yet. Any suggestions?

#4- The only custom ROM I've tried on my phone was Fission and I was very unhappy. I mean, the ROM looked cool and ran smoothly, but not all my apps carried over. I want a ROM that carries over 100% of my apps. Any suggestions?

#5- How do I go about overclocking my device? And what is the max that I can SAFELY overclock my device at?

Anyway, if you guys can help me with any of these 5 issues that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

3. I used to use astro, but once I got my droid 2 and titanium backup, there didn't seem much of a point to having astro any more.

4. What are 'your apps'? What do you mean by 'carries over'? If they came with the x, then they might rely on blur. If you downloaded them from the market, then they should work fine in fission. Either way, no custom rom will have everything you want, and moto roms will have more than you want.

5. There's a thread all about this in the droid x forums.

#1 and #2- Do you have any info about these issues?

#3- I see your point. With the built in file manager and Titanium I suppose Astro is useless.

#4- I understand that some of the motorola stuff won't carry over, but some things that I installed from the market didn't carry over. Clockwork Mod was one of those and I had to redownload it just to be able to flash back to stock. Also, some of the other stock apps like Gmail, Email, and Messaging that I DO like didn't carry over. It was frustrating.

#5- Can you give me a link to this?

Not sure about number one at all, I never use that function in titanium.

Likewise, for number two, I'm always running a custom rom, so I never have to worry about that.
