I just want to know what are the useless apps or bloatware in DroidX because I'm planning to root,deodex, and remove bloatware but I dunno which one. I just know some useless apps like Blockbuster
There's a great link to bloatware removal in the DX wiki. It lists a lot of the safe to remove software. There's a sticky in the dx android dev forum that provides a link.

Hi , I own the Galaxy Tab 5110 , and since I'm not really sure about the cleanrom (is it really safe to flash it on this model?) , I'd like to know what are the "bloat" applications made by Samsung wich are safe to uninstall with Titanium backup?
Thanks in advance
Do a backup and try for yourself. I have literally removed almost every single application without a bootloop so I would say you should be okay.
Metallice was kind enough to list the apps he removed from his Custom ROM.
check it out HERE.
This is for the 7", but bloatware should be the same
I have made a List. Just go to the thread: Applications Safe To Remove

Thanks a lot mate
Wasn't sure where to post this, but I was wondering if anyone has posted a complete list of safe to freeze, disable or remove system apps?
I've had minute success at ridding my g900r4 of some unwanted bloat but I want to 100% clean this baby. That's just how I roll. Lol
Asked and answered many times in the forums. Just do a simple search on terms like debloat. Or alternately, read the descriptions in the initial posts of some custom ROM threads which often tabulate what they have debloated.

Hi guys, having just upgraded to MM I went in to check ram usuage and was shocked to see it at 2GB used/2 GB Avaliable. I dont have any apps installed and I assume its bloat doing this. Whats the safest debloating app out there? I dont wish to download a launcher, how much ram am I likely to free up if I keep TouchWhiz?
I'll consider yourself lucky, I only have less than 500 MB free most of the time. You could always install the new custom Marshmallow ROM that a developer has created.

Freeing up RAM isn't going to make TouchWiz any smoother. Android does not manage RAM like Windows.
Also, there is a debloating thread in the General section already, and a sticky that says questions should not be posted in the General section
Edit: It looks like the mods have moved your thread to the q&a section.

Like other people have stated it will not make a difference android uses ram with this motto in mind "free ram is wasted ram" but if you still want to try free up some ram try package disabler it's on the playstore if i remember correctly it costs £1.50. Just make sure you know what you are disabling and make sure you read about package disabler first before you use it. I used it to disable most of the samsung preloaded apps which i then replaced with others applications of the play store.
Do give package disabler a try it's very good if you know what you are doing.
Thanks for the replies guys. Amar, I read that Package disabler pro may trip Knox?? Is this true? Would it happen if I tampered with Knox related apps with it?
It does not trip knox
Oh and btw, touch wiz with 6.0.1 is a lot smoother, but I'd still suggest installing Google Launcher and Keyboard (Samsung keybordbis heavy on mem due to clipboard feature). I can provide the file I use on my phone with package disabler.
Hi!
I just rooted my stock Note 4 6.01 ... and I want to "clean" as much as possible.
What are the most obvious choices?
Thank you!

From my experience some things are connected to other ... and uninstalling things I think are not important might not be a good idea!
Has anyone made a "safe to remove" list? (assuming "normal usage" and not needing obscure features)
Because qkx suggested the removal of the bloatware, I want to share the experiences I made with removing bloatware:
I can say that removing all those "S-Apps" (e. g. S-Health and so on) will work fine - at least it worked completely fine for me. You might get some error messages popping up after you uninstalled bloatware apps, telling you that this and that stopped, but tap on "OK" once and they won't appear again most likely.
But I defenitely won't recommend removing Google apps like Google Books etc. After I did so, my phone started to get laggy and unresponsive.

Welcome to XDA, the search function works wonders. Here is a link to one, it has a list and a flashable script(s) http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/cwm-bloatware-removal-script-t3067501 . In my experience it is better to take the list then open the ROM that you want to flash and manually delete the files (most bloatware is in system/app and priv-app) that you don't want. After removing the files close the ROM and flash. This way you have a lightrom with only what you want. The list is only a guide, you may choose to keep features that the script creator did not want. There are more results in the search function you may want to read on the other results.

The list with the script are provided as a guideline. The creator makes it for his own use and kindly shares it. No one can make a script that suits your exact needs but you. Most of samsung bloatware is the same from 5.xx LP to 6.xx MM. Most ROMs are custom and some have been lighten pretty good even when they include S7/S8/N5/N8 features or apps. It will be up to you to get knowledgeable on what you don't need and remove it manually. Again if they are on the list of the scripts it is almost 100% it will not break anything. But as always make sure you have a backup of your ROM/files before you do anything with system files as a caution.GL
Can some one provide point me, the system apps that can be removed from stock Rom. Removing system apps that doesn't give any FCs. Thanks in advance.

While I don't think there is a definitive guide list as to what you can uninstall/freeze apps as everyone will have a different use for there phone.
There are a few threads out there that may help you out with what other people have done.
