This is THE APP!
Many of you may know that one of the upcoming features of iPhone 3.0 software is the integrated Spotlight search, that can search through your contacts, calendars, music, etc.
Well, the official release of the software would be in the summer, while we already have this feature in the form of Spotter Search.
The app is 14 days trial in the countries that can access paid apps in the market, and unlimited for Dev phones and rest of the world.
The app is a simple search bar that is accessible from every application. It works with Cupcake and it's virtual keyboard. Currently it searches in SMS, MMS, Contacts, Applications, Settings, Pictures and Music. No Calendar ATM.
very solid app...if only it could be integrated into the widgets...but we know how that goes.

SNS and SNSAccount are used to sync/backup/restore/fetch your contacts (and calendar) from your SNS accounts (e.g. google).
Do not freeze them if some of your contacts are saved to your google account, or if you use another SNS app (facebook, twitter, google, samsung, viber, whatsapp, etc)). The same goes for Google Contacts Sync and Google Calendar Sync.
Also, I wouldn't freeze DRM. Judging by its name, it's used to authorize applications that use DRM.
Lastly, this doesn't belong here. It's not even Ace related.

What are the apps that are safe to remove in the Chinese ROM?
Has anyone removed Mi contacts and Calendar apps for Google ones? Any side effects?
Removing Calendar is fine. I dont know about contacts. Few other apps like Mi Ai, wallet, Unionpay can also be removed if you dont need them.
You can remove, contacts calculator clock calendar and replace those with google equivalents. However tapping on the clock in the notification shade or the date won't open up those apps. Anything that can be changed as the default app like the browser, gallery, music player and video players, assistant, can also be debloated. Things you should never ever disable is the app store and the launcher as it will make the rom unusable.
Other things you can remove are. Feedback, Mi Wallet, Unionpay, all the translation apk's. yellowpages and a few more. Get the Xiaomi ADB Fastboot tools from https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647 and look at what you can disable. Those are all safe.
Is there any bloatware in ZenUI9 (e.g Facebook, Instagram, Netflix)?
If that's the case, can they be removed completely without using ADB?
Also, what are the proprietary apps provided by Asus?

Most of the obvious bloatware can be uninstalled the same way as you would with regular apps. There are about 4-5 apps. From memory these apps were installed by default: Facebook, FB Messenger, Instagram, Netflix. Also note that it comes pre-installed with 3 facebook services, that need to be disabled either via ADB or the system settings, so harder to disable.
The preinstalled oem apps are the file manager, camera, gallery, calculator, phone dialer, clock, contacts (Maybe I forgot one or two). It also comes with less usual apps like the system optimiser that lets you tweak some settings to improve performance/battery life. The rest of the default apps are from Google.
