galaxy tab bloatware

Which galaxy tab has the least amount of bloatware?

You can remove all the bloatware you want by rooting and using root explorer, just be careful

Well I preferably want to know about the use versions of the tab but if the European versions are than please let me know or is it just better to root the tab thanks

Unknown yeah it figured but I was just curious out of the 4th carriers which one had the least..... I was just curious to know

Yeah sorry my xda app is really annoying takes five minutes to let me post again and SwiftKey is annoying sometimes when it auto corrected but yeah it was just curious out if the four carriers which galaxy tab has the least amount of bloatware and is it worth rooting the tab.... was also curious about the lag you get from these samsung galaxy devices sometimes..... my vibrant was really slow sometimes

didn't get any with mine. The wares it did come with, like the thinkfree app and nova game were welcomed by me!

I have the sprint tab, came with sprint hotspot and some kind of sprint account manager so nothing too bad like I've seen on other devices

I'm pretty sure the Verizon Tab has the most bloatware

None came on mine that arrived today. It was sim free and just had the default samsung stuff I assume.
Does rooting void my warrantee?

Yes rooting will void your warranty.

And can it be put back to a factory default without them knowing?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Yes it can. Use z4root from the market to root and it has an option to unroot.

Never had the Samsung Apps app on my galaxy tab :(

I don't have the "samsung Apps" app. I am rooted I even did a factory refresh. Can I downloaded it? Could not find on Samsung site. Thanks.

Google I/O tab ?
if not check here

Unless there's some hidden features that I don't know about, I would say the Samsung App" app is pretty useless. It shows some pretty lame looking apps that you can easily find on Android market. Don't worry, you're not missing anything.

Agreed Samsung apps is terrible

[Q] convert to galaxy player?

hi i have a new galaxy nexus but i miss this phone for the music playback only, as it beats the galaxy nexus at that and it has voodoo sound, so my question is, is there anyway to make this phone into almost like a galaxy player? i want basically just enough to start the device up and install apps. is there a way to disable the cell radio all together and make it wifi only? and does anyone know what i can delete and still have it start up?

Turn the airplane mode on. It will disable the radio but wifi will be still available.

Thanks Lol and do you know where I can find a list of all the system apps I can safely uninstall?

Via titanium backup you can delete system apps.??
Which apps do you want to install out of curiosity (and to help you confirm if they can be deleted or not)

[Q] Can I Add Blocking Mode from Galaxy S3 or S4 to N4

Is there a way to add the Blocking mode for a Galaxy s3 or s4 to a Nexus 4 , this is the only touchwiz feature I can not do without. Tried apps that promise to do the same thing but aren't as functional or reliable. Is there a APK ripped from a galaxy that would work?

bump

No
Search for similar apps in the play store... They won't offer same functionality as Blocking mode is a system app and being a 3rd party it has to face some limitations

I just got an ad for Knox on my Note 4...

Hey guys..
I just got an ad on my note 4 in the pull-down tray that says if I install knox I can be eligible to win a note 4? Only thing is I'm running firekat v4, so there is no knox to be found...
...is anybody else experiencing Samsung advertisements on their devices? Please don't tell me they're going to start using the notification pull-down tray as a platform to start advertising Samsung products..

Negative man. Has to be a bogus push ad from an app you installed.

I received it as well.

My bet is you got some spam on your phone. No way Samsung would push that out the phone comes with Knox installed.

Lol... You should stop downloading sketchy apps because they will NEVER push messages like that.

a third party dodgy app wouldn't make much sense. the ad was way too targeted to be a third party app. it knew i had a note 4 and i didnt have knox installed. what 3rd party ad app would be that specific? Plus I have adblock on the phone since day 1.
I'm 99% sure the ad (or "promo" or whatever) came from samsung. I'm assuming its from their galaxy store. It looked too professional to be a third party ad. The ad was a big, bright image of the note 4 and note edge, and the link took you directly to samsungs website without a referral number at the end.
@ShrekOpher knox isnt installed by default, the installer apk is baked into touchwiz. Knox creates a virtual partition in your sd card to store secure apps. If you don't want that (like 90% of people) you would be losing space on the sd card for no reason. You have to run knox for it to go through setup.

I'm running fire kat too, I'm pretty sure it's due to Samsung push services still being present in this ROM.

I got the same... Just don't install it..

im on fkv4 as well. No knox adds though and i stillhave samsung push service installed. I did do debloating on side though.

I got the same ad yesterday but I believe it was pushed by T-Mobile.

Well i aint running yalls rom, and i didn't receive it lol.
frankly even if it was samsung, it make no sense. why make such an advertisement on a phone the user already have

I have received this, a coworker on an S4 has as well.

can someone screen capture it it ? im curious

It is probably the Samsung app store, I'll try to take a screen shot if it comes up again, then freeze or remove it and see if is the culprit.

My wife got it too on her s5 she's unrooted

I recieved it yesterday, its from samsung push .. debloat that trasha waway

If you long press on the ad and click on "App Info" it should tell you exactly which app is sending you those notifications. If it's an app you actually use you can just hit disable notifications from there and you won't be bothered any more.

The app is an app that separates your phone from your work phone of you use your phone from work the app is on the play store

The question here is not what Knox is, but where the advertisement for it is coming from.
