Nice tip Thanks :thumbup:
Does it get deleted though? I.e. does it free up memory?

Yes it does
Same action performed by titanium backup

Yeah, but just one thing, not everything is bloat, and blocking it is sometimes, or most times becomes an obsession rather than necessity.

Nope it doesn't free up memory. It's still there but unusable. Btw this option has been available in android since ICS, nothing new.

I dint faced any issues. am not using any kind of app-killing apps except `Hibernate`

Does it hibernate system apps too? Because otherwise, greenify also does the trick for non-rooted users

I'll try and report, since I'm not rooted (for the time being)...
O.k. it works, you'll face battery drain only if you select the auto re-hibarnate.

thanx:good:

are you sure that hibernate really works ?

Works for me moss.

Also i want to uninstall whatsapp from note 4

There should be a list somewhere of all this pre-loaded bull**** so you can remove it without missing any.

Without root you can't install WA+.
Disabling WA ist maybe possible, but anyhow, you can't install WA+!
It's so unbelievable from Samsung.
I've written Samsung and complained about this. Also on Facebook. Public is always more effective. Maybe if more complaints come, possibly something happens
Facebook App ist also a System App and can't removed, or no old version can't be used.

Not sure what would actually be effective. People have complained about pre-installed apps on Android for, what, five years now? It's never done any good, and the hundreds of millions of additional Android users since back then clearly haven't made the complaints any more effective, either. The option of rooting is there, for people who want to completely have them removed from storage. Otherwise, disabling the apps gets rid of the icons and takes care of any performance hit. The actual size they take up is less than one half of 1% of device storage, so they're really not a big deal. It's just the psychological effect of knowing they're there. I've just learned to ignore it.
After coming from the Nexus 5 with its lack of expandable storage, I learned pretty quick that a couple megs for a stock app make a poor target for blame when I'm angry because I've got nowhere to put a 500+mb game I bought.
-Edit: On the other hand, when a preinstalled app makes it impossible to install another version of the same app from the store, it might go further to train yourself to treat that sort of thing like a bug. Report it to their technical support and act incredulous that they'd let such broken behavior into a production release. ;P

Cannot uninstall Instagram Note 4

Hi All,
Im a noob.But my dilemma is since I opted to install the ota update that popped up when I got my Note 4. I am now unable to uninstall Instagram. All i can do is disable it. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

Yes.
Instagramm is pre-installed (system app) and can't removed without root.
Just disabling works

Disabling it is really almost just as good as uninstalling it. My problem is with Evernote, I can't even disable that one. I really hate that program, and if anything will make me root it would be to get rid of evercrap.

Thank you guys for the help. The Note 4 is taking me some time to adjust to. I'm coming from the Note 3, I thought the transition would be a lot smoother. I like to use themes for my facebook, twitter and instagram- making it a bit more feminine but I don't know if it's possible since instagram is now a stock application. Sheesh!!

The app being installed on system shouldn't affect themes or anything? The app can still be modified and updated, just not uninstalled.

How disabling the app helps?
If you disable notifications and syncing in the app, why disable the app?

I have every possible app disabled at this point, however you can't download and install a new or custom version of IG I've tried at least 5 diff times ... :\ I'm going to end up rooting to unog my bloatware I suppose. If you figure it out let me know.

AT&T and Samsung bloatware

Anyone got a list of system apps we can safely disable?

Just disable all of the AT&T stuff. I haven't had any issues.

No problem.
For what it's worth: After I disabled these I booted to Recovery and wiped the cache partition.
It was stuttering and laggy for the day, but after updating everything and a couple of reboots things have seemed to settle in nicely. Good luck!

Here is my Updated disabled. I had an issues with enhanced audio set up because of a package I had disabled. Also, I dot use Android Pay, Gear Stuff or VR stuff. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ajwyu5YpXo8VnyywF6caYaVEc3nL

Which package specifically was the problem with enhanced audio. Want to check and see if I have that one disabled.

It was either AudioConnectionService or SapaMonitor.
You can tell if you go:
Settings>Sounds>Sound Quality and Effects>Adapt Sound.
If adapt sound opens up then you are good. If adapt sound doesn't open after you tap on it, then you would need to re-enable one of the above. Sorry I don't remember exactly which one it was. But, its one of those. I actually have them both enabled with no change in performace or battery life btw.
Let me know if you need more help.

This is mine. I'm not being very aggressive with disabling things, I use a gear watch, file sharing, etc, so...
