System apps safe to disable on ICS XXLPY - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

System apps safe to disable on ICS XXLPY - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

I checked in android system info, and found a lot of built in apps in my tasks list which I never used. First cautiously, but eventually I disabled all of these built in apps in hopes of more responsive experience. I post my list maybe it will help some of you:
Accuweather Weather Daemon (I use beautiful widgets) com.sec.android.daemonapp.accuweather
AccuWeather.com com.sec.android.widgetapp.weatherclock
AP mobile news (I don't use the widget) com.sec.android.widgetapp.apnews
Digital clock (beautiful widgets user) com.sec.android.widgetapp.digitalclock
Dual clock com.sec.android.widgetapp.dualclock
Exchange Services (I only have gmail) com.android.exchange
Music hub (I use Google music) com.samsung.music
Social hub (I use twitter, facebook, instragram, flipboard separatelly) com.sec.adroid.socialhub
Social Hub (there are two...) com.sec.android.widgetapp.socialhub
Software update (I downloaded and installed from xda, it comes faster) com.sec.android.fotaclient
Voice Talk (its obnoxious, now I'm free from it!) com.vlingo.client.samsung
Yahoo! Finance (never used it) com.sec.android.widgetapp.stockclock
These are the ones I saw in my tasks lists, but maybe it's safe to disable more.
Let me know your experiences.
Under ICS no need for root to do this, simple click "manage apps" / "all" and press disable.
They warn us to be careful, but these ones didn't cause any side effects until now.

System apps safe to remove

This question is often asked when people buy a new android device. So, what preinstalled system apps are safe to remove after one has rooted the Galaxy Tab?
You can uninstall these apps (or even better freeze them) using Titanium Backup after rooting using this methodthis method.
Here is what Ive removed so far with no problems:
Kobo
eBook
Digital Frame
Readers Hub
Daily Briefing
Y! Finance Clock
Swype
Live walpapers (all of them)
Live wallpaper picker
News and Weather
AccuWeather Clock
Home screen tips
Music Hub
Samsung Apps
com.sec.android.samsungapps.una
World clock
Calendar clock
My files
Memo

depends on what apps you want to uninstall........
at max i don't see issues with uninstalling apps you don't want

There are a bunch of apps that i have no understanding of:
BadgeProvider
ChocoEUKor
com.sec.android.app.lcdtest
CoolEUKor
CP Message
DRM Content
English Dictionary
Factory Test
Helv Neue
LbsTestMode
OMACP
Pico TTS**
RoseEUKor
TTS Service**
Voice Search**
I never use tts so i dont want an extra service constantly running. But its been a problem to uninstall on my Milestone...

U removed apps only when with root permission right?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Yes, protected apps cant be removed without superuser permissions.
Titanium Backup will do it. There is a new "Chuck Norris Mode" that apparently can remove even more apps.
If only there was some kind of reference list like the win 7 services library that tells you which apps rely on which other apps...

Im wondering if CP Message might be the annoying TouchWiz settings in the taskbar... ControlPanel Message perhaps?

bump... because its on page 14

While this was a necessary evil on my Vibrant, I am at a loss as why this again necessary on the Tab. Especially considering it comes with much less bloat IMO. What benefits come from removing these? Performance and battery life are already very acceptable to me. Am I missing something?

so how exactly do you remove these after root? got lots of bloatware I'd wanna remove ! thanks !

Kobo
eBook
Digital Frame
Readers Hub
Daily Briefing

Live walpapers (all of them)

Allshare

While its sometimes obvious what the apk's are called for each app, can someone list the full apk's for these apps.

these are the exact names when using titanium to freeze apps... if you want to remove the apks you will have to use your head as its pretty self explanatory
by the way, i have since realised that there is no other dnla cliet for android apart from allshare, so ive resurrected drm and allshare to simplify connecting to my home media until we get cifs working on the tab

bump...
does anyone have a list in which is safe? What about the question about the app that weren't known, or these safe to remove?

my list was safe...

thanks! nice advice. i was wondering if there was any alternative to adnroid optimizer app as it cashes alot. so this helped me very much!

This is source from the OMACP.apk
Code:
Incorrect PIN. Try again
Password must be 4 digits lon
Unable to read message
Installation completed
Unsupported type
You will not be able to sync your contacts and calendar events
Installation failed
thats just a snippit so i imagine it something to do with setting pin/simcard settings amund a host of other things

So it's not safe to remove " OMACP.apk" ?

No.

4.3 rooted / what apk's can we delete?

Thought some people will find this useful...So as the name says, what apk's can we delete from "root unistall" but without harming phones stability/performance, or maybe increase battery life/ free more ram?
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

Install custom rom... You will get better performance, battery life and more free ram.

Sony's account manager and the Unlimited app for a start, the only thing I left of the Sony stuff was the Walkman/album/movies trio.

What's about all these Facebook and social services an plugins? Can they all be removed savely? I already removed the Facebook spyware, so I don't need them.

This people don't know how to install properly custom roms. I installed 4.3 custom roms few times and as you can see my phone is working great.

Mine's working with better performance, less battery drain and more free RAM but some are unsure in things like flashing.
@Riemen
I deleted everything that had FB or Facebook in it's file name and some other apps as well. If you are not sure if an app is necessary for the device, just rename the extension to .bak or move it to your SD. When there's an issue you can just rename/copy back again, set correct permissions and nothing will have changed.

Time for my experience to shine here..
I've gone in and removed a ton of services and apps from the system after rooting my 4.2.2 device, using TiBu. If you choose to follow this guide, you do so at your own risk. I will not assist you in repairs if your device stops functioning, however you're welcome to POST (don't PM) questions about whether I have a specific item frozen or removed from my device.
All carrier related apps, in my case, Rogers Canada, such as Rogers Navigator, One Number, etc, can be safely removed.
All "Xperia" plugins can be safely removed. These include the social media for Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, etc.
All Google store applications can be removed EXCEPT the Play store for apps - Removable entries include Google Play Books, Google Play Movies, etc.
All Playstation related items can be removed, if you don't use them.
Most, but not all mini-apps can be removed. You must keep the calculator, clock and timer apps unfrozen and installed, or else the task switcher refuses to open and Xperia Home FC's. If you use a different launcher, I'm not sure what your experiences will be.
You can uninstall any stock apps like Calendar, Calculator and what not, but they must be replaced by the Google versions available on the play store. Do not try to uninstall/freeze them if you plan to use a 3rd party app.
Tasks, Notes and other "Sony" apps can all be removed (Albums, Walkman, etc).
Smart Connect, Throw and Photo Services can be safely frozen, but not removed.
Camera Apps can be safely frozen, but not uninstalled. Camera refuses to operate without those plugins present. 3rd part apps also refuse to operate (tried with Vignette, and CameraZoom FX).
Freezing the camera apps also removes the "slide" functionality of the lock screen, so if you remove them completely then you can't swipe to unlock your device.
Exchange Services can be frozen, but not uninstalled. If you're confident you'll never need to add another sync account to the device you can uninstall it. If you uninstall it and try to add an account such as a Google Address, or similar, then the Settings app FC's.
Messaging app can be safely removed or frozen if you have a replacement app to accept SMS and MMS (such as Hangouts). If you don't have a SMS/MMS app and you freeze or uninstall the messaging app, then your device will reboot whenever you receive a message.
All Mirrorlink related items and services can be frozen, but not uninstalled.
RetailDemo can be frozen or removed.
SensMe Slideshow can be frozen.
Setup Guide, Sketch, Top Contacts, TV Launcher, and all unused stock themes can be frozen or uninstalled safely.
You can safely remove the Xperia Home launcher if you use an alternative launcher, however a factory reset on the device will cause it to stop functioning completely, and in order to recover it you'll need to Flashtool (and subsequently unlock your bootloader) to repair it. I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS
You can safely remove the Xperia Keyboards, however like above, Factory Reset will cause the device to become completely unusuable. I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS

Why do you say unlocking the BL is necessary? It should be no problem to flash to whatever FTF after booting into flash mode.

I've tried previously using Emma (or whatever it was called from SonyMobile). To use FlashTool it tells me the BL needs to be unlocked.

Now as we´ve got 4.4.2 running the debloat list could get an update, doesn´t it?
I debloated too much, I guess.. My camera doesn´t work properly any more, it doesn´t focus and taking pictures freezes the cam app.
Have to watch out better before kicking out too much ^^

For Emma you do, try going to flashtool.net and using that flashtool, it does not require unlocking the boot loader

See Below post (or if you're a mod, delete this post, leave the one below it)

This list will be ongoing. If you're reading this message, there's more edits and what not coming this way.
I am currently using an Xperia Z1 C6906, Locked Bootloader that is rooted with dual recovery and NUT's 14.3A.0.681 (Android 4.4.2, Kit Kat). This is the stock rom, a fresh flash (no data backup/recovery).
If anyone knows how to export a list of currently installed/unfrozen apps from TiBu, I'd be happy to post that. Currently, all I have figured out how to do is export the entire list, but it doesn't specify if it's frozen or not.
Update (Mar 28, 1142hrs): I'm almost finished tweaking, but am having a problem with the stock EMAIL client. It's frozen, but something in the OS is calling it and is causing a "Unfortunately EMail has stopped" window appearing what I estimate to be once every few hours.. usually every 6 hours.. As soon as I figure out what's causing this, I'll post the guide and list of apps I have frozen, so you can safely remove without fear of crashes, stability degradation and boot loops

I don't understand why this thread doesn't get more love.
I'd rather remove system apps and freezing things than to install other roms..

Same happened to me here when I was deleting system apps, but I didn't delete that much, Only 8 files, 4 apks and 4 odexs.
Anyway, I used flashtool to flash the ftf I made from my SUS updating my mobile (I uploaded it and posted it in the mega collection, it's Global LTE) and then unlocked bootloader, hotbooted doomkernel to go to TWRP Recovery, and flashed NUT's DualRecovery for LB and flashed the latest SuperSU zip and rebooted to system.
Then connected it to my PC to restore my TA backup and lock the bootloader.
Now I have full root stock firmware on locked bootloader.
I don't know why but I feel that I went waay off-topic.
Regards,
~J2C

Is the de-bloating extreme if all the system related apps only are between 90-92 installed total, in /system, after reboot (after wiping cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery)?

If you are a normal conservative user, who uses his I9300 for daily use, emails, webbrowsing, games, calling, etc ... then you already noticed that all those buggy 'custom' 'leet' ROMs are not a choise for you .
Therefore I created this thread for you - for normal conservative users who cannot afford bug and freezes which are introduced by those '3l337' custom roms and kernels, but still want to get the most performance and responsiveness out of their GS3 i9300 .
So after experimenting with various possibilities, ROMs, kernels, debloating, my choise is as follow :
- staying on the latest STOCK ROM
- rooted
- heavy debloat samsung stuff with NOBLOAT app (later in this post is the list of apps that can be debloated)
- use DISABLE SERVICE app to disable specific services which consume battery/memory
Here is my list of apps that can be debloated without breaking anything crucial, and there is good chance you dont need any of those apps (if yes, you can enable them again later) :
Adapt Sound

Please read before posting in this thread : this is thread for conservative users who already decided they dont want custom ROMS, this is no a discussion about custom roms, only about stock rom debloating . We are not interested here about your opinion how "cool that or this custom rom is" and advices about "try this leet kernel i have no freezes". You should post that usefull information in the custom rom respective thread .

Not a single reply or a thank you? Looks like nobody shares your thoughts or opinions about this....Or they're too afraid to give one lol
Sure you wouldn't be better off with a pager instead of a smart phone?

Austerity in a phone. Get the deficit down.

[UPDATED]: Reference List and Functions for All Touchwiz Software

Guide Updated for Lollipop in post 2 below! This first post is for Kit-Kat releases
Removing these apps WILL remove functionality, break some of your menus, lead to force closes, and reduce the capability of your device. I am not responsible for what you remove and you have been warned
*Freezing these Apps will have the same effect as uninstalling them and is a much safer option for the user. Please consider freezing first and then uninstalling after you have tested the device.*
I originally set out to make this a list of "safe" to remove software for users bold enough to remove them if they didn't want that feature. The "Apps removed" list is still that original work, but what it has turned into instead is a reference library of all the Samsung apps and what they do. This is a work in progress and I will need the help of the community to keep it accurate, updated, and relevant. The way I have the software listed is the exact name as it shows in Android Tuner. I may edit this post later to include APK names, but for now this is the list as I can report it. The annotations I've added are intended to be as accurate as possible and some provide references for why I think they do what they do. If you know what one of these does and want to add to it or correct me (cause I am wrong a lot) please post and tell me so I can change the descriptions. If we do this right many people can benefit from this, including devs, who want to remove unneeded features from Touchwiz and maximize their ROM's efficiency.
Tools I Used:
Android Tuner (I use Pro but you can use normal for this as well)
BetterBatteryStats
*Please backup your apps when you remove them. Also after removing several system files please reboot and wipe cache/dalvik before noting phone performance.

Some Tips from Me for What It's Worth:
-If you're not sure you'll use it then freeze it first -- there is nothing worse than removing an app and discovering not only that you needed it, but that it is a pain to re-install
-Making a system app a user app is good for battery saving because it can be easily greenified
-Get 3C Toolbox Pro: not only does it remove and backup software it also optimizes libraries, cleans deleted data to speed up read/write times, controls kernel settings, and can be set to automate tasks. It is amazing software
-RAM Usage is handled differently in Lollipop because of ART so this list is not used to free RAM. This is to freeze applications that would take up resources that we don't use or want running
-If you follow this guide and remove all of these apps I highly recommend clearing cache and dalvik--a few removed apps is fine for ART but if you remove a lot of them it is important to give it a clean database to start with. Then run TRIM with 3C or something similar
-Support the devs! Don't thank this post, thank the dev of the ROM you are using and consider donating to them! Note 4 users are incredibly lucky to have so many talented developers. Show them that they are appreciated!

Will be doing this when I get home from work. Thanks!

I'm excited to hear about your results. Please post them good/bad/or indifferent and if you encounter any problems try to let me know what the circumstances were. My hope is that we can get to a point where this information could be used to strip down a ROM and let the user put back the particular software they needed and nothing more.
Also if you have any suggestions to submit for removal and you know what feature it is a part of just let me know. :good:

I have found removing one of these files has made the recent app button almost instant. I don't know which one is the one that made it faster.

Unused ram is wasted ram

Very cool. I hadn't tested the multi-task button since doing my slimming down, but now I am going to try it out.

Unused/unwanted programs waste my RAM.
Compare two setups. The first is stock software exactly the way it comes with Facebook, ChatOn, Hancom, Twitter, Air Wake Up, Direct Answer, etc. Many of these programs you don't use are set to launch at boot. You can verify this by checking the Startup Manager tab of Android Tuner. On boot stock RAM usage is full of programs I don't necessarily need running in memory and the Android OS has to use its memory management routines in order to close those apps and fill the RAM with apps I launch.
The second setup is my setup which boots with on 908MB of RAM used and the RAM is filled by programs I launch and want to stay in memory without having to close other programs in the background that Samsung gave priority.
(less programs closed = less CPU routines = lower battery usage)
Which setup is more efficient for the end user? This post isn't about stripping it down so I don't ever use the RAM, it is about creating a library of information about what these programs do so users can remove what they want and run a system tailored to their needs; not the needs of the many.
Edit: is anyone running pure stock and can tell me what RAM usage is on a clean boot? I genuinely cannot remember its been so long.

UPDATE v1
-Added some new descriptions/explanations
-Discovered error in original list "com.sec.android.app.SmartClipService" is part of S-Pen feature. I put mine back.
-Added some references for where I found my information
-Added a few people to the 'Thanks' section. Take the time to thank them when you can!

Thanks for this! Now, just to be sure, if i remove/freeze all of those under "Reference list/apps removed", I won't lose the "functional features with my list" features??

I'm glad I could help!

I did add a few back that if removed would break certain features, but the descriptions are bolded. Otherwise, yes if you remove things from the reference list it should still function similarly to mine.
However, if you run into anything weird using that list (force close/crash/unusable feature) let me know so we can track it down and know what it does.
Edit: @gretschpr you MUST install Viper4Android before removing AdaptSound and SoundAlive so that you have a mixer control installed. Otherwise, potential force closes.

Much thanks! I'll give it a try!

X-Note Restart Method 3.0 (com.xnote.reboot)
This is pretty much a debloated X-Note Rom. The reason why i use X-Note is so that I can have a black theme (settings menu, dialer, etc).
After a fresh reboot RAM usage sits at 1.17GB after 5 minutes of idle time. After some use (phone calls, facebook, messenger, etc) it sits around 1.4-1.6gb. After a day or so, it sits around 1.7gb. At which point I will just reboot the phone (I usually do this in the morning after a fresh charge). That being said, you don't need to reboot the phone and it will perform smoothly for days (never gone more than a few days without having to reboot for one reason or another - usually flashing stuff lol)
After I have sucessfully used the phone with frozen apps, after about a week or two, i will remove the apps permanently from the rom. Currently the system Rom partition has 2.16GB free of 3.7GB.
Let me know if you have any questions and i apologise if this post is not suitable for T_mobile devices.
Thanks,
Ed

This is a great list! Had about 20 that I didn't know I could remove. Total of 184 apps when I boot up very nice!

That sounds about right!
It gets addictive trying to figure out what can and can not be removed. haha

Thanks for this list, my phone seems a bit snappier now and no fc's.

I'm glad to hear it! Keep testing and if you see anything strange please report it so we can pin down what app it is. I'm going to revise it when Lollipop comes out, but it will require EXTENSIVE testing. Enjoy!

Awesome. have been looking for something like this. I am stock rooted Tmobile Note 4 and since I am in India I do not need ant tmobile stuff. An list where I can find tmobile apps which are safe to remove.
