What apps can be safely frozen or disabled?

How do you disable an app?

Pat, I assume it is very similar to the razr ICS. Go to settings > Apps > All apps. Open the stock-bloatware apps and you will see either uninstall, disable or a grayed out icon. Disable will disable the app and move it to the end of the list. If it says uninstall, then either it will uninstall the app or it will uninstall the updates then give you the option to disable.

Thanks for the confirmation mountainbikermark! I'm still waiting for my son to get ICS on his Rezound... then time to teach him about backup, factory data reset, disabling and everything ICS!

I think a list of what can and cannot or shouldn't be frozen would help out a lot of people.

The obvious junk, preinstalled games, vzw navigator, etc.

But what about htc's crap? Like "peep",, watch, etc.

I have disabled all bloat and ALL Verizon apps. I have disabled the Sense lock screen. No side effects on any as far as I can tell so far. System is stable.

I "think" you can disable any app that it will let you disable....otherwise you'd run into big trouble. I disabled about 25 so far and no problems. Just added Footprints and Friendstream. Unless you use those they can go to the bottom.

here ya go:

you can disable them:

all apps=>menu=>remove app=>all tab=>select the app=>uninstall updates until button changes to disable=>force stop=>disable

then you disabled apps will show up at the end of the list

Sorry, just did not go to page 2 for the answer. Disregard my post.

Disabled apps are banished to the very bottom of the apps list. Scroll all the way down.
