Is there any difference between moving bloatware out of the apps folder via Root Explorer and freezing apps via Titanium back up? Any benefit, downfall one versus the other?

Thanks in advance to any responses to my question.

No difference as far as end result.... if you wanted to go back to fully stock to take an OTA update, you'd have to either put the apps back where they came from or unfreeze them. If you're nervous about remembering where the apps went before you moved them, then just freeze them.

Thanks! I've done both on different phones and occasions and have achieved the goal of putting aside the bloatware. Just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a benefit, etc. to one over the other.
