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 !

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

Ant Radio and plugins can be reinstalled in Google Play, they are free apps to download. I agree, definitely remove if not needed, but why say no to an FM radio!

Thanks for the list Joe. I'm going to have to go through this and make sure I've got all of the bloatware turned off.

Root isn't necessary to freeze/disable apps (freeze and disable are the same commands)
This link here http://galaxys5guide.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-how-to-guides/turn-off-my-magazine-on-galaxy-s5/ explains how to disable the Magazine app from the Applications Settings menu in the phone and this can be done for any system app on the phone.
This was a feature put in place around 4.3(?) because system apps could not be uninstalled without root; only updates could be uninstalled. So they added a disable feature to keep it from running in the background and it removed it from your App Drawer.

Being unrooted, you can only disable only certain apps , not all of them.

Taught me something I didn't know. I went through and looked at a few crucial system apps and noticed "Turn Off" was greyed out on a few of them which I hadn't noticed before.

you can also add smart remote, and internet/ chrome depending on what browser you like, to this list that can be completely removed... never understood why people would remove sprint zone when it is the easiest way to do things on your account. To each their own o guess... great list too as there are a few I missed on my debloating adventures.

If you are mostly stock then you need to download sdfix from the market. It is free. Or you can change the build.prop line yourself to write to sd with a file manager of your choice. Idk the build.prop line but you can google it and it will come up. I hope that is your issue and it helps.
Sent from The Beast in my pocket
the ANT app is actually usefull
for those of us that like to bike/run/hoke or other physical activity in which we monitor our performance or heart rate, ANT radio is a big part of that.
http://www.thisisant.com/directory/ant-radio-service
Might want to investigate this site before removing completely as it uses hardware already on your phone, after all whats the point in getting the phone with all this stuff in it, if you just not going to use it.

Honestly im not sure I can say without consequence. Sometime after I removed a bunch of these apps, I have had some issues with my phone. the screen blacks out while the buttons work. took it to a sprint store finally and they think its 'software related' but didnt really help beyond that.i am still investigating though as it could have been something else too potentially (but i havent really installed much on this phone to begin with outside of root).
i have rooted my GS5 and installed SuperSU and ConnectBot.
I would like to remove much of this bloatware and the automatic updating of certain apps.
I have no idea how to proceed with uninstalling, any help would be appreciated.
Now that root has been established and titanium is available to use, what apps are people safely removing/freezing? My last rom was on the Note 2 so a lot has changed since then for me. I assume there's a S5 list around that we can use as a base.
Edit: The list can be found on post 3.

Put this list in the OP, and then just update the OP as people contribute more safe things to install - that way people don't need to scroll through the thread to find everything and it can all be in one place.
Great work on having the initiative to start this - these are always useful especially before there's a lot roms out that already take it all out/for people who like to customize their own stock.

Removable Sprint/Samsung Bloatware or something since you already got started on the list

Out of paranoia, I just freeze instead of uninstalling. My $. 02.
The more I play with this rom, the more I like the multitasking features like expanding windows. Also like one handed mode.
I would love to be able to replace the notification quick settings with AOSP quick settings, and get an AOSP lockscreen, and AOSP phone and contacts. in a custom Rom
---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------
Basically get all AOSP features and keeping TouchWiz innovation.
I feel that if we could get rid of any Samsung market tracking apps, this phone would be even better!

I get that. The programs I uninstalled I have uninstalled for many devices and roms in the past. I just finally purchased the pro version of Titanium so I'm starting to freeze more and add those to the list. Once I see no problems after a few weeks I'll back them up and remove them.

Me too.
For those of you who have rooted your device and Titanium Backup can not access "Backup Folder" (can not uninstall apps), you can simply change the default backup location in the settings. Change it to something that is writable.
Since I wanted to write to the SD card I had to install the SDFix app to allow Titatium Backup to write to the SD Card where I wanted and it allowed me to uninstall apps from then there after.
I didn't have an sd card problem.
ES file explorer, and titanium backup recognized the external card right off the bat.
The only app that is acting weird is Dolphin browser refusing to let me change external sd download directories.

What does the Amazon Preloader actually preload?
Is the connections optimizer bloat? Or is there a bug in it, it keeps shutting off location services randomly. I get it may be trying to save battery live but when you over 30% over 50% and over 80% i don't see why i keep getting notices location info was turned off. I think it still "may" serve a purpose of optimizing lte over wifi if the wifi is a poor connection and i have a strong lte spot but not sure.

I did some research and found you can disable it from within the phone under settings/more networks/moble networks ... I went ahead and added it to the freeze list.
Yea i saw that also i was trying to avoid disabling it but it notifying me every so often it shut things down now i need to turn it back on to do something is annoying

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) :

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.
Putting this here in hopes of helping other J7 perx users pull the most from their battery . Thanks to Ashyx we have root on our device!! Wich makes this possible. Recovery atm is still being worked on so bootloops are no fun, figured id help everyone out, took quite the number of bootloops and several hours to come up with rebooting after every single uninstall to pin point certain apks, hopefully it is useful.
First make a backup with titanium backup!!
(The list does not rob the os of many features, but if theres something here you dont want taken out then simply look over it or restore it)
68-70 apks removed with titanium backup, lets get goin.

Do not remove dictionary.apk or device maintanance.apk, as both result in bootloops. Make sure to run the sd maid app from the playstore afterwards to clean things up!

Note of advice while debloating Stock Oreo ROM for SM-J727P
All the listed apps in here just apply fine except you have to keep in place the native Email and Message apps because if you uninstall any of those the Camera app stop working properly right away https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77722457&postcount=29

I have an Oreo debloat script in my Spacesung thread. Everything without a # sign in front of it in my script is safe to remove. Additionally, it's also safe to remove Samsung experience, the theme store, and Touchwiz launcher, if you have another launcher to replace it. You can remove google videos as well, I just forgot about it. The native Samsung video player will kick in from the gallery if you do. I prefer it myself.
For those who still rock with this warrior phone.
As of this writing and latest ROM version J727PVPU7BTH1 do not uninstall the included Chrome web browser apk as it would prevent you from signing in to the Play Store account.
