Hello,
I just got my sm-j730f (after 3 years of goo services from a s5 mini), and I have rooted it immediatly.
Now, I'm trying to clean it with the useless preinstall apps. I begin by the microsoft apps (word, excel...) and some google (films, music), but in this list, there is at least one app wich cause de the phone to bootloop the next restart...
I started to remove app one by one, and at this moment, I just can't remove ondrive without bootloop (list of remove app: word, excel, duo, google play video and films, google music, upday, talkback, smart switch, skype, samsung notes, samsung health and powerpoint but I don't have really use my phone after)
I will edit the list after more tests
So I'm looking for a list of removables apps (I only find one for the j727p)
Thanks and sorry for my english
Have a nice day guys!

Is there a way to freeze apps (just like you can freeze with XXX) without rooting your phone. I don’t use most of google apps like hangouts, google play music, google movies, google now etc. It looks like google has made them system app taking away the option to uninstall them.
I would like to freeze these apps so they don’t even run in the background. But I want to have the option to unfreezing/enabling them if I need them.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

If you go to the system settings menu, then tap on apps, then swipe over to All, you can Disable most system applications. When you tap on the application, you'll see Disable in place of Uninstall. Just be careful about what you disable. For example, don't disable Google Play Services, since many apps (not just Google apps) rely on it.
thanks ...that worked
Hey Guys,
So i've have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9500) as a secondary device (Primary is iPhone 5 :highfive
I used to love Android but off lately I am starting to hate every device its on like Note 3 (demo for 1 hour) Or HTC One or Note 2 or this S4.
Now I like Google & Android like everyone else, but have started to hate their approach, Google used to stand for "Freedom" of what users want to do but now they are forcing stuff on you and don't give you easier way to get out of it.
e.g. Google Play Movies / TV, Google Play Books < I don't give a crap for these service, I have found no way to remove them yet, even via Rooting I still am unable to remove them. they don't show up in NoBloat Free software.
Then there is Google Location Service, Why does location service / any other service for that matter need to run continuously when the phone is running, this is why I started to like iOS better than android (grant it has its issues) there is no optimization of the usage of resource these background task are taking & there is no way to just stop them from using up system resource unless you disable them. including other services like Dropbox Camera Upload, I don't think its that hard to build a trigger into an app that starts and stops the service when Camera application is launched.
Take a look at the screenshot below, the total amount of RAM used should be only 147MB according to the list of running apps & 123MB in Cached Processes but it is for some reason using 707MB.
Then there is the dependencies of apps, e.g. Google Hangout requiring Google Play services, Google Hangout in itself is a 16 MB app why would they build a dependency to another application and require its presence when the Play Services is only to Update Google Apps & other Apps from Play store?
Then the built-in Google Search, a freaking 30MB application & all that does is use the web search. Really Google?
So comming back to my real question here. I've looked in the sections but there aren't any ROM's that are designed to be used without any of the Google crap.. Is there any way i can run my S4 without these, I don't even want the Play store.
You can flash a deodexed google rom, and then remove the bloatware via a root file explorer of your choice, by deleting the apk files in system/app

Hi!
I have rooted my xt1602 to get rid of the Google and Moto bloatware, as I do not use Google Now, etc.
So, which apps are safe to delete? Via Root Explorer I go to system/app and system/privapp.
This is the list of apps I do not use and am willing to delete for good:
Google: play music, play films, chrome, photo, hangouts, text-to-speech, youtube, talkback, asian languages input, start/now (all functionality of google now search/voice assistant)
Moto: care, display, actions, motorola update, motorola settings, rescue add-on, emergency alerts, device guide.
I also have questions of various system processes, such as: face recognition, google partner settings, demo mode, motorola notifications/alerts, bookmark provider, nfc service, live wallpapers. What do they do? Is it safe to delete them?
Regarding the abovementioned google start/launcher3 apps: is it possible to get rid of google search/voice features? otherwise, i do not mind switching to some basic launcher.
Putting this here in hopes of helping other J7 perx users pull the most from their battery . Thanks to Ashyx we have root on our device!! Wich makes this possible. Recovery atm is still being worked on so bootloops are no fun, figured id help everyone out, took quite the number of bootloops and several hours to come up with rebooting after every single uninstall to pin point certain apks, hopefully it is useful.
First make a backup with titanium backup!!
(The list does not rob the os of many features, but if theres something here you dont want taken out then simply look over it or restore it)
68-70 apks removed with titanium backup, lets get goin.

Do not remove dictionary.apk or device maintanance.apk, as both result in bootloops. Make sure to run the sd maid app from the playstore afterwards to clean things up!
Also feel free to adventure and add to this list!!
any news my friend about more apps that can be uninstalled?
Note of advice while debloating Stock Oreo ROM for SM-J727P
All the listed apps in here just apply fine except you have to keep in place the native Email and Message apps because if you uninstall any of those the Camera app stop working properly right away https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77722457&postcount=29

I have an Oreo debloat script in my Spacesung thread. Everything without a # sign in front of it in my script is safe to remove. Additionally, it's also safe to remove Samsung experience, the theme store, and Touchwiz launcher, if you have another launcher to replace it. You can remove google videos as well, I just forgot about it. The native Samsung video player will kick in from the gallery if you do. I prefer it myself.
For those who still rock with this warrior phone.
As of this writing and latest ROM version J727PVPU7BTH1 do not uninstall the included Chrome web browser apk as it would prevent you from signing in to the Play Store account.
So I happened to find these apps, I'm using G6 from Korea (G600L). I posted this thread in G6 Q&A already and seems like not so many people know
I'm not sure if these apps are safe to unsintall (Adb shell pm uninstall)
It would be great if anyone could tell me

Any updates? Even if you share your progress so far would be highly appreciated!
As a general rule, unless you're 100% certain, you shouldn't uninstall system apps you're even remotely unsure about. Your safest bet would be to use an app like Root Uninstaller Pro to "freeze" them and see if any side effects come about on your phone. If so, you can unfreeze them and keep testing what you can and can't disable. LG MLT is something you should definitely get rid of, and apart from the PC/Sync packages you listed there (Which you could remove if you don't intend to use LG PC Suite with your phone) I wouldn't go fully removing any others.
