Hey guys. I know this has been posted and answered and repeated 100 times already but im having absolutely no fun or success finding a full list of APK packages and processes i can disable and uninstall on my galaxy S7 Edge to make it as close to stock as possible without hurting any important process. I am rooted (The TWRP method, if that matters) and have the debloater program by Gates Junior (Props to him, this program is awesome), but because this is my first android phone (Just moved over from an iphone 6, i was so bored with it) im too scared to really debloat anything.
Can any of you experienced and wonderful people help me with a list of debloatable programs and processes that i can do to my device to get rid of touchwiz and increase my battery life on this already amazing beast of a phone??
Thanks in advance,

Hey i'm a new guy to the whole rooting scene, and i have a bunch of questions. I have a Vibrant, and the only real reason i see for me rooting is so that i can get froyo ASAP, because being with T-mobile i've realized that we always get all the updates late. Other than that what other reason would there be to root? I read the whole Q+A and watched the videos and blogs and read all these posts on how to root the phone, and what rooting is, but my question is what happens after that? Everyone is talking roms and black market apps, and froyo how would i put any of that stuff on my phone once i've rooted, and what, if anything, is there to put on the vibrant since it's such a relative new phone. As you can tell i'm lost in the sauce and having spent a little over $2000 in the last 14 months on cellphones (Long story, just know i left android with my g1 and went windows mobile a few times, worst damn mistake ever windows phone's blow!!!!), and finally found one that i can stomach without wanting to smash it against the wall, i would hate to do something stupid and be out another phone. Is rooting even for me? I really just want less crapware, no adds, and a little faster performance thru froyo HELP!!! and i don't really speak too much computer talk, i'm an accountant not a progammer. and answers would be very helpful. i'm so confused right now!!!
P.S if i root, can i get rid of all this crapware that t-mobile has on this phone, and if so, how? And
I would try to learn a whole lot more on my own before even thinking about rooting. You can really mess things up if you don't know what you're doing.

Read the first post of the tips and tricks thread at the to. It should clear this up for you. If not, ask a question AFTER reading that post.
To clarify things: "Rooting" does not give you access to loading custom ROMs. Rooting only gives you administrative permissions to do more things with your phone and access to apps on the market that require root access.
Froyo is not out on custom ROMs for Vibrant yet (don't ask for ETAs either). Some other reasons to root as I mentioned above is to gain access to apps that require root access.
Yes rooting can help you get rid of the bloatware. To gain access to flash custom ROMs, you need to do it thru Clockwork's Recovery, but there aren't any custom ROMs available YET.
Would you dismantle the engine under the hood of your car if you don't know what the parts are?
If you have to ask such basic questions after reading the FAQs, etc., rooting is not for you.
Just joined the forum a day or so ago. I bought my first Android last week so I claim to know next to nothing about mobi mods. I did read a lot and tried even more (mostly without success) to root and uninstall some bloatware. After many failures, and thankfully no brickage, I am a new VM Intercept (2.1) owner , rooted and almost bloatware free. That is thanks to a one click wonder (not super).
Awesome forum. I am much more of a hardware geek and not much of a software guru. So I plan on learning a lot more by hanging out here.
I have just got my Play, and i totally love it, but now i am starting to feel i should, how do i say this, trim the fat, so to speak.
I just wondered what u guys thought were the LEAST useful things pre-installed on the Play, and what to get rid of/replace.
I know this is probably a total noob question, and to be honest, when it comes to Android i am a total noob, hacked/customized every other console and phone i ever owned, but this is a totally new front for me, so any help, hints or tips would be great.
I have not root'ed it yet, and i am still thinking weather i should or not, but that will be a question to ask another time.
Thanx in advance to everyone!
Adam.
Well, for starters, search the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046699
I have a fair bit of installing custom Roms on Android phones and i can honestly say this -
Unless you are rooting the phone in order to help develop custom roms and tweaks there really is no point in rooting it at the current moment.
Gingerbread is excellent at managing apps and the Xperia Play is designed so that games run independently from your homescreen.
"Trimming the fat" will offer almost zero benefit at the moment.
My advice is to wait a while, let the experts put together some custom Roms and gain access to the Kernel, allowing us to overclock.
Until then, i do not see a reason to root at all.
Sorry, i had a load of tabs open and was meant to post in a different thread. Mods feel free to delete. Sorry.

Me sorry, i did read that after i posted, just wanted some advice on the subject too.
I have a Note 3 on Verizon, running the 4.3....I've grown tired of this and want to explore other possibilities with the phone. I'm not savvy enough to understand all the dev tech language. Was wondering in anyone wouldn't mind linking me to a step-by-step for dummies on how to root the phone...also, once its rooted, Do I lose all apps from playstore and have to re-install special apk's? Prior to trying this, I would like to do all the necessary stuff to ensure I can restore if this becomes too complicated...worse case scenario I guess would be just going to get a HTC One M8...Need a change from Touchwiz and I have had it wit the various launchers....Themer is keeping me hanging on by a thread, but the itch for something new and customizable is too great. Please no flames, just looking for help...Thanks
Well congrats.. you made it to the Q&A. There's 100 views and no replies and I'm sure they're just rolling their eyes in terms of why you couldn't just search or bother to look at the General section where there's actually a sticky (Just saying).. If you're not tech savvy enough to learn how to root your phone then you're going to have a hell a lot of a tough time knowing all the terms when it comes to rooting.
-You can root your phone and use titanium back up to back up all your data/app or log into your google account and go to my apps and look at your dl history and dl them again
I'm confused of why you're shying away from keeping the note 3 and going to the m8 just because you're tired of touch wiz (am i reading that right?)

And in my experience, you should use kingo root to root your 4.3 device. There's pros and cons, misconceptions, and skepticism about the app. In the end it's your decision.
And here's a wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_rooting if you want to learn more about what rooting is.
Last tip of advice is looking through all the rom threads and looking at each developers work and features if you want to explore what you can do with your phone when rooted.
It's now possible to install MHA-AL00C00B203, an EMUI 5.1 early beta. For more information, see here:
Mod edit: links removed
I would like to have this thread for people who have installed it to discuss new findings in EMUI 5.1
For me so far, I've found that the battery seems to drain less, but that might be subjective.
I've noticed a definite improvement in touch response time, and time to open/switch between apps.
I haven't noticed any new features, otherwise, but they might be there somewhere.
The installation requires a lot of work which can be quite a pain, but it does seem to be stable, as I haven't had any crashing or anything so far.
Anyway, if you're running it, what do you think? How's performance for you? How's battery life? Did you find any new features? Let us know.
you there man are good in helping this community,but u use other ppls work (twrp n superuser zips )without give credit to them by upload to your own server or another cloud.well at least paid some respect for those who work on the zips.i know your service r the only way for m9 to get revive Thier device (besides c636 n al00) but at least respect other ppl works.no offence i am not saying u r service is not good its still the only way for those who doesnt wanna rebrand their phone to other region nor root their device to recover their phone from semi brick/brick.
sorry for derailing from topic.
Peace Out!!
I paid 30.77 USD to by 5 credits and have just update my mate 9 to B173 and now been downloading B203.
