Hello community,
Last week I brought a Samsung Galaxy S5 and within a few days I rooted it because of all the benefits. I gained some information about bloatware applications during my research and I managed to uninstall almost everything I wanted to and it was safe to remove them. Now I have one last application I want to remove/uninstall. It's the S Voice application. I cannot find the SVoice.apk or the icon of S Voice in System (Root)>System>App and in priv-app.
Could someone please tell me where this filth is located so I can permanently delete it?
Thanks,
Mazda

Hello guys,
I´ve bought new Samsung i8730 with a stock firmware.
The device is really nice and have all the functions EXCEPT the messaging.
There is no standart SMS application on the phone.
I don´t know how I could fix it. (I did not found any custom firmwares)
Thanks this thread I´ve allready rooted my device, but I not sure weather I could just copy the .apk from other firmware or not.
Sorry for my english.
Hi there!
I just bought my new phone recently. Went from iphone 4 to S4. Big improvement. I really love my new S4. One minor annoyance, though.
it is the bloatwares that are on my S4.
I want to root it and ONLY want to remove the bloatwares. I don't want to do anything else. I just want to be able to remove the bloatware as i don't find them useful and i could use extra space and make my phone snappy.
I am still learning my way around the website. I am sorry if this has been asked before.
Mind you, my baseband is i9505XXUBMG4 and android version is 4.2.2. I bought it unlocked.
I am bought it here in New Zealand. Most of the guides refer to phones being used in USA.
I would love a proper simple layman explanation. I would love to do a simple root just to REMOVE the bloatwares.
I am on a MAC btw. So i'd appreciate any root explanation using a MAC.
Hope this made sense. I appreciate any help! Thanks for bearing with me. cheers!
I too have a NZ S4, keep reading my friend. Probably the easiest way to debloat is to cf-root (search for it) and either uninstall apps with titanium backup (from the app store) or use the debloat aroma in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827817 if you need anymore help pm me
Hi All,
I didn't think to do a full backup of my phone through Titanium backup pro before deleting the bloat where by G900F came with (thanks amazon!) and deleted Galaxy Essentials by mistake, the S View cover I bought today not does do **** all without it being on there.
Please could someone either upload or PM me for an email to send me this!
Many thanks.
Sorry to be a noob to this all.. and I know this is most likely the wrong place to post this thread (this forum is huge btw)
Can someone help me.. Complete noob here, I just got myself the new GS5 and have made the switch from Apple to Android now, I only have a macbook pro and have no idea how I can root my galaxy s5 with the macbook? Can anyone help?
I am an Australian user.. who has the latest SGS 5, SM-G900I that is locked to Optus (network).
I have the latest macbook pro late 2013 edition with os x mavericks on it.
I've worked out some basics.. like I have Samsung Kies now working on the mac to do file transfer etc..
I have the developers option menu open on my GS device with USB debugging ticked..
But that's as much as I can do.. I don't know how or what program to use on my mac to perform the rooting and or what kind of rooting I need to do??
I'm not to good with terminal? or inputting commands into terminal.. complete noob with that
Can someone here.. please, please help me out and point me in the right direction.. I've looked all over google.. most info I have found though is for the GS4 or older version of android etc.
And like I said earlier.. I am overwhelmed by this forum site as it is huge and I don't know where to begin to look?
I would also like to know.. I've seen screenshots of in videos of where people have 4 + apps in their "app draw" including an internet browser..
Mine has come pre loaded with only 3 main apps in the "app draw".. these are, phone, contacts & messages + the apps button.
How can I edit/ add or remove apps in and out of that bottom app draw area, I am yet to find that option anywhere on this phone??
Hey mate, have a look here:

Hi All
Kinda new here,did ask a few questions when i had an xperia miro. So i am not sure if i am asking the question in the right place. Moderator please feel free to relocate this question elsehwere, if i am posting in the wrong section of the forum
Ok so got a new (old stock) Galaxy s4 i9500, which updated itself to the latest lollipop firmware. But i see a ton of bloatware on it, which i believe is eating the ram or causing terrible Ram mismanagement.
I kinda like the touchwiz ui with lolipop.....so i dont want to loose the stock feel.......but is there anyway to remove all the bloatware...unwanted apps from the GS4 ...is there a list.....I saw a thread for the i9505 to remove bloatware but none for the i9500.
so the question - is there a way, without rooting or unlocking..to remove all bloatware / unwanted apps from the os to have a seamless experience?
Love the phone / hardware...just wish it performs as per the hardware specs......
cheers
The bloatware list for both devices is the same. However, I don't believe you can use automated tools in your case to trim the fat from the ROM. Unless mistaken, and I well could be, the I9500 partition structure is different from the I9505, thanks to the Exynos processor.
i9500 Galaxy S4 Bloatware issues
hmmm...i saw a video on youtube for an automated tool to remove even the uninstallable apps.....but i forget which version of the galaxy s4 it was...
Ok so worst case scenario...manual method.....but this means.....unlock and root right?
Cheers
All you have to do is root as the bootloader on the I9500 isn't locked. Then install a file manager with root support, hunt for the files and blow them away. Do check out the automated tools however. If one works, it will save you a ton of headache.
