Has any roms added a option to disable the "frequently called" list. This is the most annoying and useless feature of android.

You can clear the list whenever you wish, but doing so will force email apps to relearn your preferences.

Just take this app : "frequently call disabler" on the market, it's works, you must have a rooted phone.

Hey all. I just got the phone yesterday and am loving it btw. I liked using the LG keyboard and having the extra row on top with the numbers. However, after messing with it for a while, that disappeared and it started to say each letter out loud and most of the options are greyed out as seen in the screen shot. The only thing I have found in searching that might have caused it is trying out light flow lite. Has anyone else experienced this or know a way to fix it?

Yes light flow and other apps seems to trigger the talkback feature even though its says its off. The solution I found is to go into setting then apps find the talk back app and uninstall it. Then all that will stop. If you ever need it again you can just install it again. I notice this only happen with LG keyboard. Other 3rd party keyboards are fine

That did it. Thank you so much! However, it worked to simply disable the Talkback app instead of actually uninstalling (it didn't have that as an option since it's a system app). Everything is good now!

There is no option there. Only a force stop option, but I believe that once you reboot your device the app is again active.

Aye, and all the 'stock' apps can be uninstalled the ol' fashioned way.
I found out that you can disable an app by going into Settings, Apps, select the app, and then press Disable. I don't use GMail and got tired of seeing the icon. Seems to work the same as freezing an app.
Oh yeah I guess y'all are right. Sorry, just got back into android with the new nexus 7. Honestly I just don't like having anything on my devices I don't use.

Free up space, delete an unused process. Keep crap apps from annoying us. That said this is Nexus. There is not much you could call bloat
Currents.

If its a system app that can't be removed by just uninstalling it. Than they other option is to root and just delete it using a file manager like root explorer.
Pretty sure gmail and currents are play store apps so they should just be able to be uninstalled.

The above links work and you can also find it by going to the Play Store in a web browser and then clicking on the gear icon on the right side and then you will see the Android Device Manager there too.
This seems useless after I change my Google password (which would the first thing to do since thief has my phone as a authenticator).

This is all I could do also.. you can disable most of the bloat.. but it's still there taking up space.
I wonder though.. does disabling really disable everything ? Without extensive testing and monitoring.. one can only wonder..

Ok. I thought you disabled the apps using the Settings>Application Manager route. In the application manager you can see many other apps also which are not listed as your apps but are running in the background and can be disabled. Also, using this method, for each app you can first clear the data and cache before disabling / turning off the app thereby freeing up some more space taken by these apps.
I would love to know this as well, specifically the ones not found in the app drawer
Is disabling the app like freezing the app?

Without root you probably can't freeze apps. You can probably only turn them off

You are doing this from within an app. The home screen doesn't have settings.
Edit: OK you're apparently doing this from the phone app. Those quick replies have nothing to do with wear, they are the options you have when dismissing a call on the device.

sadly it DID work the first time I edited the nesus messages.. the moto sent the edited message out.. the next day back to default messages. i talked to a motorola rep, she dug a bit and found an internal memo stating these messages were defaultand CAN NOT BE EDITED
This is a basic function here, this should be easily edited at any time. the fact that my unit did use the ones from the nexus 6 kinda tells me it read the nexus messages, then some update or internal setting over-road them......
this must be fixed there is NO reason why I shouldnt be able to use my custome responses....
Just tried to do precisely the same thing. Disappointed to find that changes to the stock quick responses on the N6 don't filter through to the Moto 360.
