Hi guys,
I have D802b version, anyone knows what kind of apk is this?
It is always runs on startup with a lots of permissions, I have disabled it, seems has no effect yet.
This runs on the Sprint version also and I was wondering myself what it was for and whether or not it could be removed completely.

I froze it and it seems to affect the stock Messaging app. I have owned alot of phones and never have seen this running in the background.
I may try loading a different sms app and then freeze again...
I hate these stupid services running in the background

Hey everyone,
So I have had a look through other topics about removing unwanted apps and started to remove or disable ones I would never use.
However What I noticed was these apps then continued to update themselves and enable themselves again.
Take Svoice for example, I uninstalled the updates fir it first, Then disabled it. two days later I got a notification stating it had been updated and when I checked it was enabled again.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

I had this problem, I had to uninstall "Samsung Apps" app to stop it downloading.
How do I disable it? Every time I turn off location it comes up with a warning saying My Places need location on to work. Is there a way to totally disable My Places as I suspect it's draining my battery?
Install Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store and disable it.

Thanks for that. I keep seeing people using it. Does it actually noticeably improve battery life?
Yes... assuming you don't go mad and start disabling everything. Also, don't use its inbuilt "disable bloat" option. It is too severe.
There are threads here where people post their .xml files and you can see what they have disabled, or even import their settings. Everyone's choices will be different however.
It is easy to re-enable apps if you find that you have lost functionality, or your battery life gets worse rather than better.

Oops. I've just installed it and used the one touch option to disable all the bloatware. But I've gone and enabled what I need afterwards again. It's the system apps I don't have a clue about so I guess I will have to wait and see. Do you know if there is a list of commonly disabled apps that people have used anywhere?
Yes, there is at least one. I saw a thread two or so days ago, I have just have a quick search but cannot see it currently.
Everyone has a slightly different outlook however. I just disable Samsung stuff I have no use for watch manager stub etc and Facebook stuff. I disable Google Play Games and Movies.
I don't disable any Google framework or system stuff.
I use Nova and therefore disable Touchwiz Home and Easy Home. It's logical when you think about it. If you don't use S Health, disable it.
You can undo the disable bloatware option if you want to.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
Dear XDA,
So I bought the s7 edge to replace my note 7. So before i start loading apps, copying data, making customization I want to set up for the most stable and fastest operation. I got the package disabler pro and i have been playing with it on my N7 before i do anything to the s7 edge. I may use what's app and Instagram but not Skype. I do use the Microsoft office suites though. I wanna be able to use gear vr in the future but I do have the gear s3 frontier coming in too. So I clicked disable all bloatware. So if I do this would i lose any functionality? Any stability? I dont want that so called battery drain. Also i use thr system wide encryption, is that tied to knox ?
I also use the package disabler pro for s7 edge international. I disabled all bloatware, and some other apps. Everything works fine, nothing crashes or freeZe.
Don't click disable all bloatware! Users have reported issues with this as it disables some necessary apps that other apps ping to for updates.
What i recommend is to just go through the list and disable what you don't use. Then recheck the list after a few days under "show me running processes" if using EZ disabler, and disable the apps that are running which you don't use. That's what I've done and have had good battery life

I used the package disabler pro from the play store. I dont which package is worth disabling to save performance, there are a lot of packages disabled by itself.

Generally speaking if you don't know what packages to disable, then I would avoid a package disabler. You might risk freezing something important.
If your really focused on disabling packages, just download "EZ package disabler." Because of 2 reasons:
1) EZ provides a description of each package and what it does. So you know yourself what to disable if it sounds like bloat.
2) PDP is influenced by Samsung, Samsung tell the app Dev to hide certain packages cause it doesn't want users to disable Samsung bloatware, which is why I use EZ package disabler instead

Well before buying the package disabler, It checked to make sure both it and ez package have the same features. They do. Also I use most of the samsung software. Does ez package actually tell you what package is what or does it direct you to a google search? Thats what package disabler pro does. Btw I am using PDP by PoliceDeveloper, I heard there are other copies of this on the net!
Hey everybody.
Does anybody have a list of all the apps and bloatware you can disable on the sprint version of the S8.
Would like to have it with as less as possible.
Thanks.
