Ouch, I wasn't aware that the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 had CarrierIQ, the battery-draining performance-sapping privacy-invader.
I came from the Sprint Galaxy S2, and there was a fairly involved mod to remove it.

Hopefully one of our ROM devs here can work the same magic.
Did you flash a Rom? Because I believe its only in the stock Rom. juggernaunt Rom doesn't have this process.

You can try using Titanium Backup to freeze it if you don't want to uninstall it.

If your root i suggest making a nandroid backup. Then use titanium back up to remove the process.
I know its just don't know if its going to boot loop. Because this **** steals everything from us.

Anyone knows?
I told you make a nandroid back up and remove the process with titanium backup. If its boot loops. Remove the battery and restore your back up from clockwork recovery.

I froze it with titanium with no negative effects so far. When I had an evo3D I had a kernel that blocked it completely from communicating with the network and even if installed again it would be unable to connect to anything. Any developers know of a way to get this done with our phones?
For all of those unaware of carrierIQ its a logging program for usage stats run by a company hired to get user stats for carriers. Its methods are extremely intrusive it can read KEYPRESS logs as well as has access to just about every scrap of data on your phone. Do a Google search. Big brother stuff.

it isn't in the juggernaunt rom i believe the developers already removed the process. the evo 3d has a locked boot loader. Samsung does not like i said try removing it with Titanium back up if it fails well nandroid. I'm actually looking in titanium back up myself. You can actually download the roms and open with 7zip or winrar go to system and see if its there.

Now that we have achieved root in ICS , shall we start a safelist of stock apps we can remove without ill effect?
feel free to submit your list. crossix you might already have a safe list and would love it here if you see this thread
I just rooted today but am at work so I will edit my post later with my list once I can take a closer look.

Why not just use ICS built in disable app functionality? I have disabled a number of apps and it seems great!

well i always have been more of a fan of using titanium backup to completely get rid of bloat. also i dont believe you can disable a system installed app even with root. titanium can delete anything :-D

I didn't think there was too much bloat on the A100, even with the ICS upgrade, apart from Aupeo, Acer Media and a couple other apps I barely notice them. Nigh on a stock build, thankfully
What apps did you uninstall and how did you get them uninstalled? I just uninstalled several of them with Titanium Backup, but when I rebooted they were still there. Some of them I was not able to uninstall, error message Cannot remove system app. Failed to locate the apk file.
Use Root Explorer and delete the applications contained in the location: /Flexroom.
LG Optimus One + CM7 +Tapatalk 2
Has anybody tried uninstalling some of the stock apps with either TB or root explorer? Wondering how much of the junk apps is okay to remove.
I removed everything that started with Samsung minus the keyboard. And everyrhing that started with at&t. Along with apps I knew I wouldnt use ever

There's an option in setting / applications / running to effectively freeze apps without rooting. I did it to nearly all the bloatware. I don't see them in the nebu now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
You need some of the samsung stuff because of the heavy customizations to the phone and s-pen support. I froze, using titanium backup pro, most of the at&t stuff, I think I only left the smart wifi thing, automatically connecting to at&t and well known popular hot spots sounded ok to me. I think i froze the kies stuff. But left most of the Samsung stuff.
I would love to see a list of what's safe to freeze and why.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Noob here and I too froze all the ATT stuff like ekerbuddyeker said using the aplication mngr., Now my question is does this help with them running in the backround i.e. battery life?? This is my first Android device came from ios.
When you disable them and delete their cache, it makes them not a running process whatsoever. Unfortunately, none of the stock apps run in the background, so you will see no noticable difference by disabling them (minus the fact everything looks cleaner)
I removed all the AT&T apps. Don't notice any difference in performance, but I do like not having those apps around. Didn't mess with the Samsung apps yet as this is my first Samsung phone and wasn't sure what all the S pen uses.
Sorry if this is posted somewhere, but I have read and searched and wasn't able to find anything.
I have an SGH-I317 running stock 4.1.2 rooted and would like to know if there is a list of which stock apps can be safely disabled without causing problems with other apps.
This is my first android device as I have been an iPhone user since the very first one launched up until 2 months ago I made the switch. I'm very happy with the phone, I just would like to know which factory installed apps can be disabled without causing problems with other apps.
Any info is greatly appreciated!

No list to my knowledge. ..
Use titanium backup pro and freeze the apps you wish to remove one by one and test.
Most ATT apps can be dumped without issues, and freezing them is safe in case you need them.
You need root of course. ..g
Is there a difference between freezing them and disabling them?
I know disabling them 'hides' them from the app drawer. Does freezing them do the same?

Freezing makes it so that the android system cant see it i believe disabling just makes it stop running and removes the icon
I found this after some more searching, it is for the s2 / s3 but is a pretty good to go on list for other samsung devices as well.

I trust you are now using titanium backup ??

I haven't went with titanium pro yet.
It's on my wish list of apps to buy.
I just went with disabling the at&t apps for now. I've tried a few custom ROMs which had the bloatware removed but there was always something missing that I liked from the stock ROM. (I don't mind some of the Samsung apps)
Plus being new to android I'm still learning what it does and how it does it so I'm nervous to use custom ROMs until I'm more comfortable with what's going on with my device. It's a bit of a shock to the system going from iOS for 6 yrs to android.
Overall I'm happy with the switch so far.

I am still stock... unrooted. Hide the bloats and you won'y really feel the 'pain' too much until you are more confident of what you are doing. I experience no lag with all my bloats hidden. I didn't even bother to disable them. Phone is still smooth as butter.

Same. Stock and not rooted. The bloat isn't insane on the Note2 so I think I'll stay stock as long as possible.

Disabling apps does in fact keep them from running.

I know disabling them does. Someone had mentioned hiding them so I was asking if hiding them prevents them from running in the background. I'm pretty sure it doesn't but wasn't positive.
I took the disabling route because it hides the apps as well as completely turning them off.

The usual stuff is on it...I got mine 2 days ago...but all of it can be disabled but not uninstalled.
Is the stage fright update there or will they push it out later.

Can't u use Package Disable Pro to freeze all unwanted bloat along with AT&T OTA software. Shouldn't have to be root as I done wife S6 Active & it worked fine.

It looks like ATT's S6 Edge+ has one stagefright vulnerability still. I checked with the app below.
