Bloatware Removal - Galaxy Tab General

I want to buy a Galaxy Tab and root (I've rooted many other tabs) - how hard is it to remove carrier bloatware using Root Explorer or Titanium Backup.
Any advice that more experienced members can give will be helpful.

[Q] To everyone with a rooted note

So, today I rooted my note using Zerg-rush exploit and got the My Backup app.
So, my question is, can someone provide me with a list of apps/services that I can safely freeze with no adverse effect on functionality?
( Maybe I'll compile a list of all such apps/services that you guys mention, so that other n00bs like me can benefit from it.)
Thanks in advance.
You can use Root App Remover. It can freeze and delete stock applications. The ones with red text (contacts, settings etc.) can't be removed, so it's pretty safe to use it if you know what you're doing. Do not delete random stuff just because you can. If you for example want to remove the stock keyboard remember to have another keyboard installed.
But it's totaly safe to freeze/delete the third party Samsung/carrier apps, but again be careful.

New to TPT: Remove bloatware from rooted TPT

Hi.
I just got my TPT. Its a 32gb device with 3G, for my dad.
As its for my dad it should be rock stable so I think I don't need a custom Rom.
But Root. I already rooted the ICS device.
I would like to remove some of the preinstalled apps (bloatware).
Could you tell me which one to remove?
Lenovo App store (its closed) for example.
If I remove something from /system/app how can I get it back?
Is it reinstalled when the TPT is being resetted?
Thanks in Advance
you can just disable the apps, or you can make a CWM backup and then you can try to remove them using titanium backup, or some other app from the playstore.
Also there si a thread arround here about how to stop the TPT form installing all that bloat.

Now that I'm rooted what can I delete?

Or maybe it is easier to ask what can't I delete.
Obviously, a lot of the AT&T and Samsung bloatware is easily identifiable, but there are still a lot of programs listed in Titanium Backup that are hard to discern their specific function.
Who amoung us can identify those that can be frozen or deleted or in the alternative those that can't be frozen or deleted without causing a problem?

Best bloatware remover for a rooted SM-G935T?

Hello mates, I am new to XDA and first and foremost I want thank to thank all contributors and developers for providing amazing tricks, tutorials, and features for all device users.
I own an S7 Edge under T-Mobile carrier (SM-G935T) and last time I tried to remove bloatware/system apps using Titanium Backup I believe I deleted necessary system apps that I shouldn't have deleted.
So my question for you guys is:
What app should I use or which app is the BEST out there that will help me disable ALL UNNECESSARY BLOATWARE without messing up the phone? I've heard of System App Remover Pro, Titanium Backup... but I don't know if Titanium itself would do the work. (I believe I could if I could get a list of Bloatware that can be removed with no problem)
Thank you guys, any help will be appreciated.
Just Google what each package does and then use titanium to freeze/uninstall them
If it sounds important then it most likely is

Honestly, I'd stay away from something as invasive as Titanium backup these days. If you do use it use the freeze feature (Only paid version).
They way I did it, I simply went into App Manager and disable natively anything that I could. For system Apps that won't allow me to disable that I know I can safely disable without screwing things up (not very many anymore) I use Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store. You can safely enable and disable system Apps.
Best way to get rid of bloat is install the u firmware.

Thread cleaned.

Don't bother uninstalling system app bloats, just freeze with titanium backup. if you screwed up and froze the wrong file you can always unfreeze. Uninstalling won't get you any extra storage since you can't install user apps in the system partition anyways.

Titanium backup is a nice way to go, but you need root.
I have seen Remove ALL Bloatware from any Android Smartphone without Root
ADB for Windows is a nice way to start.
You can google that as well.
I want to remove the bloat myself, but I am wait for 7 to drop then start cleaning house.
Good luck to ya! :good:

Well yes of course, the OP requested best remover for rooted S7E. If not rooted, the recommendation would have been for EZ Package Disabler or equivalent.

Restore ALL programs and data - Galaxy S5 to Galaxy S7

My daily driver is a rooted Galaxy S5. I use Titanium Backup to backup progs and data to SDCard. Also have "moved" many programs to SDCard to run. I'm looking to purchase a new Galaxy S7 (eBay) for Verizon (locked?) and want the abililty to restore ALL progs and data. Many of my progs are NOT the current APKs from the play store, and wish to keep it that way. Want to run either Android 7 or Android 8 on the S7. I only need root at this point to restore TB backup. Other backup/restore methods are limited. Have read many of the threads and posts re: root of Galaxy S7.
Looking for the easiest method to root and restore. Would like to be able to update Android at a later time without having to perform a clean flash. Advice and recommendations are appreciated.
