Another reservation for the future
These are the apps that I consider a MUST have for my usage:
1.)Mvideo player - infinitely better than the stock video player and can display subtitles also comes with great folder management
2.) SMS backup and restore - to back up and restore my SMS inbox when I flash to a new ROM
3.)Opera Mobile - Something thats pretty much close to the functionality of a Safari browser, puts the stock andriod browser to shame!
Other apps already mentioned like G+, flashlight app, youtube app and ect!
Titanium Backup is a must... especially for the n00bz who are always begging for non-wipe versions of roms.
Other than that:
Astro File Manager
PowerAmp
RealVNC
Screen Off and Lock (I don't like to use the physical power button)
Tasker
WiFi File Manager
Screen Filter
QuickPic
MoboPlayer
The rest is not that important, but these are mandatory for me.
This belongs in the Themes & Apps section.
So, coming from a long tradition of rooting and fiddling around when I first booted the Z3c yesterday I was "impressed" by all the apps that are on the phone that I really, really don't need. Now, since we don't have a way to safely root the device I have deactivated as much as possible.

What about you others?
So, how did you "deactivate" the apps?

Click to expand...

You go into apps, then swipe to the right to the "All" tab. Click on the app you want to deactivate and there's a button that says "disable"
3 things:
- I personally always stop the app and clear the data
- Some apps you can not disable, that button is then greyed out.
- Some services might not work if you disable the wrong app, disable only if you are sure that you don't need that app. (might sound logic but I've heard many things in my xda-life..)

Out of curiosity which ones of the ones I deactivated do you use on a regular basis?
Of course, I need a browser, emails and a music player so I have nb pro, cloudmagic and spotify instead of chrome, gmail and walkman.

That was really more of a joke, like how can there be that much to disable and still have stuff left on the phone.. :silly:
But, I use Hangouts, the Xperia FB/Twitter are likely for integrating FB/Twitter into contact list (which I like because it pulls in pictures), gmail, chrome, Walkman (I still buy my music on CDs and rip to FLAC), GP Books (I have a couple magazine subscriptions)... the rest I'm not sure on.
What's the benefit to disabling an app if it's not running in the background? It's still taking up space on /system (not that you could use the space otherwise, unless rooted of course).
Be aware, Disabling Device Administrators triggers (some) Apps to get activated again!
So, just in case you wonder why say Chrome, Google+ etc. came back without you having activated them, please check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/deactivated-apps-getting-activated-t2889082
but if Idon't use those apps they will be running in background taking ram or just take memory from my internal storage?

I get a button that says "Force Stop" but no "Disable"
Edit: looks like some apps have disable and others dont.
Why do some applications automatically load up (IE Google Maps) even when I don't run it?

Because sometimes other apps trigger them to run in the background.

Cool, I added a description in my 1st post.
I'll share my steps on how I surpassed the said error and installed almost all s8 apps on my non rooted note 5 excluding the following:
camera, installed that FC
aod, installed but NW
wallpapers, keyboard are apps encountered such error!
edge related apps, installed not NW
other system related apk like settings, systemui etc that arent advisable to be installed
Prepare the following: USB disk where all apps you wanted to install saved, installer apk pro, USB OTG Adapter
1. Factory Set your phone
2. set-up phone like u did, but skip in signing both google and samsung account
3. Close wifi, location, nfc mobile data faster upon reaching "Home"
4. Directly go to settings and set security "OFF
4. Insert USB OTG with USB disk, Install the installer apk pro first and use it by and batch installation by selecting ALL apk saved in USB and click INSTALL, although u need to press DONE all the time.
5. VIOLA, you'll be amazed..
And I noticed you call still upgrade once there's available updated version for that apk by not turning off/ restarting ur phone...once its restarted..you'll encounter the aformentioned error again..
The conflicting package error has been pretty much solved on my S8 launcher installation thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=71850074
It's a crazy trick, but it works. [emoji14]
