Aloha! I am writing to you with a very unusual question.
The situation is - in my city launched a new taxi. As a taximeter and wifi router (or even terminal for Visa cards), I bought about 140 DroidX and several X2
All on a stock ROM ... and it is a problem.
Work with each to run even Cyan unreal. And the stability of the, ahem.
Taxi drivers are not very smart guys.
Even attempts to hide native applications, market and close the rest. They still manage what is not pressed, turn off GPS, WiFi for customers ... Of course a huge problem in the fact that all (taximeter etc.) works as a web interface in Opera Mobile, simply there is no money to develop application for driver
The question is - as far as to create a really individual firmware in which will be deleted almost everything. The ability to go only a certain web page. Automatically included GPS without the possibility of switching off. Etc.
You can build custom ROMs easy enough that remove almost everything except what you want installed.
Being able to disable turning off gps/wifi though may be tough. You'd have to disable settings all together after you enabled everything you wanted enabled. The better option IMO is to tell the guy not to touch the settings at all.
To make a ROM that only has certain features basically choose a ROM you want to use. cyanogenmod7.2 might be a good option.
in the cm-7.2.zip delete these files under the /system/app folder
androidterm
bluetooth
browser
calculator
calendar and calendarprovider(if you don't want them having the calendar feature)
camera
deskclock(if you don't need alarms)
dspmanager
email
filemanager
gallery3d
htmlviewer
livewallpapers
livewallpaperpicker
magicsmokewallpapers
music
picotts
protips
provision
quicksearchbox
rommanager
soundrecorder
spartparts
torch(if they dont need a flashlight)
ttsservice
visualizationwallpapers
voicedialer
vpnservices
additionally you could remove:
spareparts
development
downloadproviderui
cyanbread
cmwallpapers
cmupdatenotify
cmstats
cmscreenshot
cmparts
androidian
Then add to the system/app folder your opera apk file.
It'll install a stripped down ROM with no google play store. If any of your guys are technically savvy at all they could easily install things themselves though.
Everyone knows about System Apps which can be removed so i thought id share what you can delete more to save even more Space.
I have modded iHackers 2.1 AROMA Version from 740 MB to 334 MB with deleting all Apps i dont want and the things i listed here.
Be careful what you delete as i warned you so its not my fault if you break something afterwards.

I am going to copy/paste a post I made earlier in another thread about the same thing. This was done on Stock 4.2.2, rooted, locked Bootloader C6906
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
Things i removed, If there any leftover related to these do advice
Thank You
Excellent lists, keep the good work up.

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)?

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.

=== Safe to remove (free up some space) ===
The following list contains app which are safe to remove to free up some space in the rom.
You can gain some hundred megabytes of free space by removing this apps from the system.
Gmail (2 mail apps are unnecessary)
Google+ (how the hell uses G+ anyways)
Google Play Books
Google Play Games
Google Play Kiosk
Google Play Movies
Zinio (some random magazine app)
Amazon Kindle (good reader app, but way to huge for a system app ~100MB)
Omlet Chat
Bbbler Actors for Omlet (comes with latest OTA update)
Flipboard
Facebook (need it? install it as a user app. needs too much space)
Maps (i personally think Google Maps on this device is completely useless)
Street View
Chrome Browser (reinstall as user app if you use it, another app which eats up space in the rom)
EMusic
Contacts (why is this app actually installed?)
Gallery (default image viewer)
MyASUS (classic bloatware app)
RemoteLink
ShareLink
Mirror (uses front camera for a mirror)
WebStorage
What's Next
Google Drive
=== Safe to disable (remove at your own risk) ===
The following list contains background processes and services which are safe to disable.
CMService & DMService* (get rid of OTA update notifications and reduce network usage)
Bubbles (if you don't care about live wallpapers disable it)
PlayTo* (never tried this out, maybe to transfer video?)
EnergySaver*
DLNA Service*
* confirmed save to remove
CAUTION: always make a backup before you remove a app in case you want to restore it later not all apps are available on the play store!
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK ANYTHING OR END UP BOOTLOOPING! REMOVE AND/OR DISABLE APPS AND SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DON'T BLAME ME IF ANYTHING STOPS WORKING! I TESTEST EVERY APP/SERVICE BY MYSELF AND IT WORKED FOR ME!

work good with lollipop?
i don't have lollipop installed by myself, but since the apps are the same you are should good to go
I CAN'T GARANTEE ANYTHING, BE CAREFUL!
deleted:
Asus Launcher
Asus Demo
No issues so far...if they come i'll post it here...
everything works well instead of asus launcher i use go launcher.
as i read the asus demo app installs the flashplayer and removes itself after entering the password no need to do that for me couse i use mxplayer and codecs.
Don't delete Asus launcher If you don't have any launcher installed and currently in use, it'll throw your device in to boot loop.
But Asus Demo is safe to delete.
I have the Lollipop .33 version as far as I tried if any app associated with quick settings is deleted, you can't go to Asus Customize settings and change the apps order anymore.
When you press Quick settings options it'll throw you an "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." error. But apart from that it doesn't effect the system stability.
The .24 doesn't have this problem.
My suggestion is when you have a freshly and fully installed Lollipop .33 and want to delete some apps like Splendid, go to Asus cuatomize settings and change them to your liking first. Then you can safely delete system apps.

But i will post every deletion i make in the future here and report if there
are any issues.Just to be safe:If you decide to remove/freeze System
App's make a Nandroid Backup of your System or at least a backup of the
removed system app's.I use the titanium backup app to make backup's of
system files,so if something went's wrong you can restore your system.)

My WiFi runs pretty well.
So I happened to find these apps, I'm using G6 from Korea (G600L). I posted this thread in G6 Q&A already and seems like not so many people know
I'm not sure if these apps are safe to unsintall (Adb shell pm uninstall)
It would be great if anyone could tell me

waiting for it
Any updates? Even if you share your progress so far would be highly appreciated!
As a general rule, unless you're 100% certain, you shouldn't uninstall system apps you're even remotely unsure about. Your safest bet would be to use an app like Root Uninstaller Pro to "freeze" them and see if any side effects come about on your phone. If so, you can unfreeze them and keep testing what you can and can't disable. LG MLT is something you should definitely get rid of, and apart from the PC/Sync packages you listed there (Which you could remove if you don't intend to use LG PC Suite with your phone) I wouldn't go fully removing any others.
