After i went from GB to ICS 4.0.3 the option to freeze some apps completely has raised the question to many.

Anyone got a list or know some apps which will defiantly speed up the SGS2, for example the Samsung hubs, which we all know are worthless & like the social hub which constantly runs in the background.

I removed all of the hub apps, AP News, Accuweather and News Reader. I froze the Wi-Fi sharing apps. I also froze Voice Command as I don't use it.

Freezing the Wi-Fi sharing apps? and did this increase performance for games like mc3 etc.

Well, it increased battery life.

This link from the Rooting Guide might help: Bloatware/Stock App Removal Guide. See #10 for a comprehensive list of what can or cannot be safely disabled.

hi

is there an easy way to just disable the app i.e play movies, on mine. it keeps saying there is an update for it but i don't use it.

i'm not too fussed on rooting it. i created a folder and called it bloatware, i have 27 items in it!
