I just recently rooted my Galaxy Y. As I have always had low storage space problem, I looked for solutions to that. I installed various root apps (Install Manager, Root App Delete, App 2 SD, Titanium Backup, Link 2 SD), and fiddled with them. After uninstalling and moving quite a few, I wanted to deal with the Samsung Apps.
After searching a bit, it seems the samsung app store is not COMPLETELY useless, so I want to keep it. However none of the apps save Titanium Backup actually recognized samsungapps as an app that it can do something about. However, I am very confused.
1) I am on stock. The Noob Guides on the phone show that Link2SD requires Custom ROM, yet some people have said it works on stock ROM. I am a little hesitant, so I would like clarification... Is it ok to use Link2SD with Stock Rooted ROM?
2) I want to integrate updates onto samsung apps (which is a system app). However, I also want to move it to SD card. Is it required to be a User app to move to SD Card? What are the other effects of Converting to user app? Is it advisable, or is it too deeply installed and will it cause problems? Why can't I integrate updates for any user app? Or do user apps always integrate updates?
3) Link 2 SD requires a partitioned SD card. Is that advisable with the Stock ROM? Maybe I can partition it not as a swap, but only as an app partition, for neater organization?
I searched the forum quite extensively, couldn't find definitive info/experience with this. Apologies if this is addressed somewhere.
Btw, I also flashed my GNex to Stock. Thanks to the precise detail in which the process was explained, the whole thing barely took any time This forum gets better every time I read it.
Apart from the actual solution itself, I would like some links to in depth info to read up about the above topics.
Thanks in advance

2) Ok I'll keep the Samsung app store app on internal memory. What about the apps installed using the Samsung app store? I should be able to link them into SD card right?
So the Samsung app store apps is equivalent to the usual play store apps according to the OS? Same way for the store apps themselves?

Try App2SD in place of Link 2 SD on your rooted stock ROM. It works without partitioning your SD card and will even transfer apps that can safely be placed on the SD card automatically, no intervention needed. It seems to work fine for me.
Hi
So the question is in the title
After much flashing(of the phone kind) and re boots and errors and mishaps I finally got to put Lollipop 5.1 on my S4 I9506. I rooted the phone and removed what Bloatware I know about. I have not removed Knox. Just from googling its ok to remove this with Titanium Back up, correct? Any other apps that are not ‘essential’ and I can remove.
Also getting the insufficient storage available message. Downloaded Lucky patcher app and tried with that and it did help. Any other methods?
If u just mean regular apps u can use your TB to freeze them first and see how it goes or u asking about system apps?

Hello guys
I just discovered a small trick on how to delete bloatware which came with the phone. Or I hope I discovered it. I have a G935F from a german carrier called o2. It has no root-rights and is stock. It came with various apps such as "hrs hotels", some o2 apps, an app to install a game called "Empire: Four Kingdoms" and so on...
I believe it was only possible to deactivate and not to deinstall these apps when I tried to deinstall them.
Fortunately I was able to deinstall with "My Files" from Samsung which is already installed on your phone. At the very bottom is written "Storage Usage". There you will find the window "User data". Click on "Detail" and now on "Apps". There you go....
Maybe you guys can check if I am right and you can deinstall this way apps you wasn't able to deinstall before. Unfortunately I already deinstalled all my bloatware and now I don't know if they really are only possible to deinstall this way.
Sometimes carrier bloat is installed in the data partition where they can be uninstalled. I think you'll find that Samsung apps and services cannot be uninstalled this way. That's because they reside in the system partition.

AT&T US version does not have access to details under Storage Usage. Thanks for the tip.
The US T-Mobile version does have it, but unfortunately it only shows the apps that I have installed, not any of the carrier bloatware.
Running out of internal storage for apps on my ZTE Blade MiniQ running android 4 .2 .2 I rooted it using Kingroot and then used Titanium backup to delete bloat ware.
BUT I selected something by accident but thought I'd managed not to delete it - now I think I must have! :crying:
I use google calendar sync'd with business calendar on my phone - it shows no calendars available.
I've installed the google calendar app - but it says my calendars can't be displayed cos calendar storage has been disabled - there is link to enable in setting - app info flashes up and then settings stops working.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling accounts, even a factory reset - nothing is working.
Have seen an old post about this but the link to 4share is no longer working
Has someone got a ink to the right file - and can tell me how to get it back on my phone I'd be extremely grateful
(I did delete lots of stuff like google play newstand - but think that should be ok - and no I didn't back up - cos I am an idiot! -or rather was only planning on getting rid of bloat ware)
The calendar is the one of the main things I use on my phone ....
1.download stock rom for Q mini from official ZTE site
2.extract this from ur stock rom:
-CalendarImporter.apk
-CalendarImporter.odex
-CalendarProvider.apk
-CalendarProvider.odex
3.copy/paste it in system/app and change permissions to rw r r
4.reboot
I installed a custom S5 rom on my S5 active. Everything works good.... but I would like to remove all fingerprint apps because on my settings the fingerprint item is present... and I dont want that
Could someone help me to resolve or fix the problem
Thanks in advance
You shoud just delete the "FingerprintService" app to get rid of it, i dont know which rom are you using but at least by that way you dont have an useless service for you running background. You can use any app that you like to delete system apps(I use SD Maid), or you can delete it manually, this app is here:
"/system/priv-app/FingerprintService" just delete this folder, reboot and its gone. The fingerprint will still shows on settings but will not be running in background anymore
