Droid Charge Bloatware Safe to Freeze

---

The first thing I did with my DC when I got home was root it. The next thing I did was install Titanium Backup. Here is a list of bloatware that I have safely frozen using Titanium Backup. I’m sure this is not a complete list, so feel free to contribute.

Howfore didst thou rooteth thy phone?! Didst thou install lated OTA updateth??

I cry out of great sadness that my phone is currently unrooted. Great, horrible soul crushing sadness since root won't work on ED2. Oh woe! WOE!

I haven't installed the ota. I used adb to root.

What's the advantage to freezing over uninstalling?

You can unfreeze it later if you prefer. Just uninstall it. Good riddance

Completely removing the files/apks can prevent you from getting future OTA updates, where freezing them with Titanium Backup is like removing them, but if you thaw them out, they return and you can still get OTA updates.

Okay, gotcha. If I've installed Firefox, is it safe to freeze Browser?

Things I have frozen, works perfectly!

Freezing backup assistant causes force closes for me since it keeps restarting itself. Everything else worked great tho, thanks.

Frozen but still showing up

---

So I froze a bunch of apps in tit back but it seems like a lot of the links to them are still visible... for instance i froze daily briefing but when i long press on a home screen to add a widget i can still see all four of the daily briefing apps. Same goes for icons when i long press to add applications to my home screen. Is this just a failure by tit back to clean up these items from everywhere?
