[Q] How to uninstall factory app ? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I want to remove some app provided with VRZ notes 3 by default.
i'm talking about amazon, backup and other.
any possible way to do it ?
Thanks in advance.
PS: i did root it already but still impossible to remove.

I typically disable or freeze them, but I believe (not fully positive as I haven't tried it on the note 3) that you can use ROM Toolbox Pro or Titanium Backup to uninstall the system apps.

@Diocat, thanks will give it a try and get back for the results.
Beside I've learn that the bootloader has not been released yet by VRZ, so i guess we won't be able to get a custom rom installed until then!?

Can you all give me advice on custom rom decisions please?

Ok I have the Note 2 GT-N7100 on O2 UK.
I previously had the S2 and rooted the phone fine.
I have never installed a custom rom on any phones before.
What I need is advice on what I need to do for me to get rid of bloat ware, free up loads of space and customize my phone with a different look.
I'm aware a custom rom is personal preference but I just need anyone to guide me or give me advice on what needs to be done to get my phone working faster and better with more space.
Thanks,
Aaron.
If your happy with your rom you could just use titanium back up to uninstall any unwanted bloatware. For customisation there are lots of xposed mods that can really customise your phone

You don't have to do anything, really. Just always do a full wipe that's all.
To get rid of bloatware, I suggest ROM Cleaner head over to the Original Android Development section.

Will I be able to remove all the apps that come with the phone?
I need root also don't I?

Well of course you need to root. If you need any help with that you could hit that root info tab on the note 2 main forum page. Also, if you are considering on flashing a ROM, I highly recommend Hawkish extreme ROM mainly due to the great battery life it gives and in your case, you can get rid of all the bloatware through the AROMA installer. But you could always get rid of bloat without flashing any ROMs by using those apps 'sawdoctor' & 'Simone' suggested.

I'd suggest to root it and then use Titanium, not to REMOVE the apps you don't need but to FREEZE them. Then use the phone for a couple of days and if you don't experience any problems, you can remove the frozen apps. Much safer that way.
Thank you for the suggestions and advice.
If u like the stock rom, then go for AliianceRom. Its similar to the stock Samsung ROM with some extra features
Or else there are many other custom ROMs if u wanna try new stuffs and experiment.

Please please please, once rooted, before flashing anything, backup the EFS.
Then as stated, use titanium to freeze apps before deleting them just in case.

I recommend Wanamlite.
I recommend rooted stock. More reliable than any custom rom or kernel.

Need help with routing I9500

Hello everyone,
Iam not new to rooting but after using custom roms on my note 2 I really don't find any reason to root my s4.
I only want 2 things from rooting.One is that can use software like titanium backup so I can use freeze options etc and make a backup of my rom.
Basically for root apps and nothing else.I heard about chain auto root and my version xwubmg5.I want to ask is it safe to use this rooting process to root my phone if Iam using only apps?
Thanks alot for help.

Apps to stop

Hello
Got my S5 yesterday and I am not rooted (yet) and Ive been wondering if is it safe to "disable" samsung apps and other applications that I will never use without disabling OTA UPDATES
like in the attachment.
If someone can provide a list which contains wich ones are safe to disable without removing OTA updates option that would be great.
Thanks
Just disable it and it will ask u install latest version after pressing OK results disabled. Its better way to, just like removing bloatware. I always do like that.

[Q] Can I delwte bloat myself when rooted?

I have done a lot of reading trying to learn the rooting world.
One thing is unclear to me, once rooted can I delete bloat ware apps as I please? I know many roms delete the bloat but if I stayed on the stock rom can I delete apps that I am not able to delete unrooted? If so, is there a guide for how to do so? Thanks.

Not without a helper app like Titanium Backup ROOT. And I would strongly suggest you backup everything first, just in case you delete a program that you really need.

I use root explorer and just delete the apk's manually. Works the same I would guess.

Or you can manually rename them.

I use Root Explorer and copy the apps that I'm deleting (over 100) to my computer then delete them from the system.

Debloat script for Lollipop stock rom?

Hey note 3 forum
i just rooted my wifes note 3 (n9005) and was searching for a debloat script that i could run to remove all that samsung bloatware.
unfortunately i wasnt able to find a up to date script for lollipop
the best i could find was that list of apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470862
i wanted to avoid intalling a new rom or going through titanium backup to freeze apps one by one
so is there anything i havent found?
thanks in advance!
You'd be better off using Titanium to manually remove anything you don't want. One person's bloat is another person's essential app. Besides, it only takes a few minutes.
Wise words. However, is there a safe list of apps we can freeze/uninstall with TB?
