Which apps can you simply not live without? Every time you do a data wipe, you go straight to the Market, or your .apk collection and put these straight back on... what are they?
Titanium Backup, beyond all doubt.

Titanium backup, k9, setcpu.
Zipsigner, klipsch control, headphone SMS, Samsung remote...of course forum apps.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA App
Google voice

Smart Keyboard, Convertpad, RealCalc, ColorDict are utils I use most often, so that's what I install AFTER Titanium Backup PRO and SetCPU (once my phone's rooted, of course).
1. XDA (obviously)
2. Splashtop Remote
3. ADW Ex Launcher.
I need a backup and restore app but Titanium Backup seems to seriously mess with my phone. It interfered with my Nandroid backup(?) I've had to wipe my phone and reinstall every app I can remember. :/
Same with MyBackup Pro, just says error half way through backup even with sufficient space.

Many people want to add some apps to their Nexus Player before that app has officially been released for Android TV. To accomplish this, you can either install the app via the Play Store in your web browser or you can sideload the app. The problem is that on the Nexus Player, you can't see these apps that aren't optimized for Android TV! But don't worry, there are a couple of work arounds:
BEST OPTION: Use chainfire's Sideload Launcher app (See this article for details: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...ndroid-tv-users-easily-start-sideloaded-apps/)
You can install a custom launcher like Go Launcher, Nova Launcher, etc.
You can find/open all apps here: Settings --> Apps (you'll probably be able to find your app in "Downladed Apps")

Adguard for Samsung Internet and Adhell for everything.
Adguard
Sent from my G8+ using XDA Labs
Adhell!
Adguard is vpn proxy base. battery performance not good, and the garbage in notification tray.
Adhell use knox firewall. this app main program only use IntenseService(Boot and 1hour scheduling).
program so simple, and battery performance so good.
Just to be clear, there are two versions of Adguard, there's Adguard for Samsung internet browser, and there's also an Adguard stand-alone app that creates a VPN. I use the VPN version and it works great, I'm curious about Adhell though so going to try and see what the result it.
I also don't think Adguard impacts battery life that much, I still get a full days use easily
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????

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.
