Syncmldm.apk -> Software Update (thanx to mkruseonline)
Wssyncmlnps.apk -> Samsung Sync Application (thanx to mkruseonline)
SysScope.apk - it's the package that checks whether the ROM is modified (thanx to metalboy94)
DataCreate.apk - seems to be some form of factory test app, not actually used (thanx to metalboy94)
remember always make a nandroid back up before experimenting with ur device.
i dont know functions of all the apps. just know that these are the files that may be claimed as JUNK.
some apps ( resembling almost same names ) are components of each other. one may not work without other.
app quarantine is a very good free app to freeze these things if ur just an average user ( dont delete from system/ app folder)..
if ur a new developer then this list is meant for u.. u can delete this apps from system/app folder before building roms.
and last but not the least :
i tested it myself. leaves ur device with only the core or necessary apps... but im not responsible for any damaget to ur device. if something goes wrong then restore from nandroid back up.
P.S : can some one recommend this to be pinned as it may help newbie developers in future and save the chunk of time.

[Q][N910F] Is there a list of applications that are safe to be removed/deleted?

It seems that there is no thread yet about a list of applications that can be safely deleted/removed from Galaxy Note 4 [910F] . Would there be someone out there kind enough to make the list?

This is what i disabled.

I know it's a different version to our phone, but the list should apply to our phone too.

Remember GOOGLE is your best friend,
cheers:fingers-crossed:

Thank you for all the replies. For those of you who were so kind enough to post links...yes I've been there and aware that Google is everyone's friend. However there are some apps in that list that my device does not have and there are some apps in my device that is not in that list. Best explanation is that list as the title states is for Sprint. I am also wondering about the completeness of that list as FB, Instagram are not included in that list which obviously can be removed without any ill effects to device. There are still more apps that I'm quite sure that can be removed but I'm just hoping someone would provide a list just to confirm, hence the thread.

Bloatware removal without root?

Hi. I have a new AT&T S7 Edge and I'd really like to remove the various bloatware on there. In the past, I've always done this via root and then Titanium Backup or similar, but it sounds like root has really become a mixed blessing on AT&T phones since the time I bought my Note 2 several years back. If I'm willing to forgo root, is there any way for me to remove the AT&T/Samsung bloatware?
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. Much appreciated.

Thanks man. I was afraid that would be the answer, but I'm glad at least to have learned about Package Disabler Pro. Right now, I have the apps hidden with Nova Launcher, but I'd definitely prefer to disable them altogether if possible. Sounds like that's going to be as good as it gets for the S7. So be it.
Will disabling the bloatware affect the Android OS updates? Thanks again for the feedback. Much appreciated.

Anyone have a list of what every app does and which can be disabled on the att rom and which can't?

you don't need the package disabler, just use the built in app disabler, does the same thing.

Package Disabler lets you disable just about any app. Stock App Manager seemed to not be able to disable some apps, including the DirectTV Remote app, which kept popping up on me. Otherwise, it does do the same thing, just with fewer restrictions. For me, it was worth the extra couple bucks.

I've noticed the stock app manager is missing a lot of apps compared to my Note 4, yet these apps will come up in Greenify... So yeah, seems like Package Disabler is the way to go here.

Don't mean to thread jack, how do I disable the quick connect bar in the drop down menu? I'm trying to find it in package disabled pro, thanks again

Also lets not forget the free option:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

Since the subject of both the DirecTV and Quick connect notifications popped up here, I'll try to help. I did disable both.
To disable Quick connect, lower the notification shade. Expand it by either dragging down again or hitting the arrow in the upper-right corner.
Click EDIT.
At the bottom, turn off Quick connect.
I'm pretty sure this is how I got rid of the DirecTV notifications:
Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the notification.
Click the disable button.
I don't know how to get the Ad back, though
- LoopinFool

I have Package Disabler Pro. There's an option when you click the 3 dots in the corner to "Disable all Bloatware". I did that and unchecked these:
Amazon - com.amazon.kindle (I use Amazon)
com.facebook.appmanager (Broke Oculus app installs when it was disabled)
com.facebook.system (Broke Oculus app installs when it was disabled)
Color adjustment - com.samsung.android.app.colorblind (Might be able to disable this but wasn't sure so kept it enabled)

myAT&T - com.att.myWireless (I use the app)
Nfc Service - com.android.nfc (Samsung Pay didn't work with this disabled

Photo Editor - com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching (Built in photo editing in Gallery)

Samsung billing - com.sec.android.app.billing (For themes)

I disabled other packages that "Disable all Bloatware" didn't catch:
AT&T Address Book - com.samsung.aab (I use Google so don't need this)
AT&T Software Update - com.ws.dm (My girlfriend has an S7 and I'll let hers update before I break mine lol)

Package Disabler Pro Link
I have been reading about Package Disabler Pro and found it impossible to find the download link. I contacted the developer. He provided the link and an explanation. Here are the excerpts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message Body: Is the Package Disabler Pro still available and if so, where?
Since I am new here, I am unable to post the link BUT if you search for "google play packagedisabler" in google, you can find the product and install the app. I did and it does work as promised.
Thank you for the link. What is the difference between the free and pro version? I saw that most people liked the PRO version. That was what I was looking for.
>>pro version is now free. pro will upgrade now
I am still confused by the line " pro version is now free.
the free version is the old pro version with full features. It will receive updates.
pro version will be a paid version with better support. features will be same

You can use EZ Package Disabler. It's faster, more professional and has detailed description for each package. Here is the app link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.packagedisabler

With a 32GB S7(or edge?) from AT&T, how much space is left after all the bloat, out of the box? THX!

The system uses around 9GB and some other lingering stuff another 1GB so out of the box you already lose 9.125gb ish. Available to you will be around 23-24GB. You can also just put in a 64gb microsd but it won't be adoptive storage but having the microsd card slot helps out a bit.

List of packages that can be safely disabled?

I am looking to debloat my device and improve battery life, does anyone have a list of packages that can be safely disabled/removed on the S7 Edge (G935F)?

That's the list I uninstalled with an app - these are pretty secure to delete. Doubt know your county, provider or firmware so there could me more bloatware also not all apps listed have to be preinstalled on yours.

Here is my disabled list. I'm using EZ Package Disabler to disable them. This app also has a lot of package descriptions. You can read the descriptions and disable more packages as you want.

There's a good app for this.
Samsung package disabler pro.
Search for it on google play

You may as well buy a Nokia 3310 if you're going to disable half the functionality.
Disabling all those services really won;t make any significant difference to battery use.

Anyway, original Package Disabler Pro has been republished under a new developer name, but it's 100% the same:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpremium
If a owner of the previous app sends an email to the new developer (policedeveloper) he should receive a license for the new PDP.

How do you compare between PDP and EZ Package Disabler? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.packagedisabler

what is the difference between using those paid apps and to use the disable options on the phone it self?
I also found out that, not that I will delete it, even apps like Whatsapp cannot be fully deleted from the phone. Only the updates.

You answered by yourself....
All apps, included facebook, whatsapp, instagram, word, excel, etc. (which are system apps) can be "frozen" using PDP (or others), differently from the stock app manager that can't disable them.

Bloat!

I really hope this phone gets rooted and perhaps a ROM. I came from the OnePlus 7 Pro and yikes! The stock s20 says it has 520 apps installed, which includes my usual apps. My OnePlus 7 Pro has my identical apps installed, and it is under 150 for system and user apps.
The phone is crazy fast, but it would be ridiculous with a semi-stock Android.

You can uninstall the apps with ADB.

https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Here is how to do it without root access, maybe Samsung and OnePlus count differently?

Disabled apps
You can use adb or if you are lazy like me, you can buy a package disabler for 3€.
The apps I disabled are in the attach. You can disable more for better battery, but I still want the Samsung experience.
Maybe someone can suggest more apps that can be disabled without touching the Samsung experience.

I recommend using CCSWE App Manager rather than deleting via adb. You get the same effect, but if you need to restore an app/service, all you have to do is toggle a button, which is much more convenient than using adb.

Hi,
Do you happen to have a list of what you disabled using CCSWE that's safe
and/or not needed for a smooth setup. CCSWE has color coded system files
in red, are these safe to disable????

Hi,
Do you happen to have a list of what you disabled using CCSWE that's safeand/or not needed for a smooth setup. CCSWE has color coded system files in red, are these safe to disable????

All system files are potentially dangerous to disable/uninstall.
I disabled the following with no issues whatsoever:
Bixby routines
Bixby voice
Bixby voice stub
Briefing
(Samsung) Calendar
(Samsung) Contacts
Facebook
Facebook app installer
Facebook app manager
Facebook services
Game launcher
(Samsung) Launcher
Messages
Netflix
Samsung Daily
Samsung Galaxy friends
Samsung Internet
Smasung Internet panel
SmartThings
Voice wake-up
Obviously, if you use any of those apps/services, then don't disable them. I use Google Calendar & Google Contacts, so the Samsung versions are unnecessary. And I use Pulse SMS, so no need for Messages app.
