Is there a quick way to debloat your tablet without doing a custom rom?
Yeah, go into settings>apps and disable the bloat apps you don't use. Don't delete them, if you do you won't be able to update the firmware when new updates come out. You can also use titanium backup to freeze apps. I also recommend getting autostarts to disable apps from opening on their own.

Hi guys,
Went to freeze the stock Camera apk from beans 4.4.2 ROM and instead deleted it. Didn't really think it would have been a big deal since I am using the google's KK camera now in the app store. But, Samsung app has quite a few useful features I'm now wanting back.
I have a NANDROID backup and can open this with titanium, but it does not restore.
Help?
Hey note 3 forum
i just rooted my wifes note 3 (n9005) and was searching for a debloat script that i could run to remove all that samsung bloatware.
unfortunately i wasnt able to find a up to date script for lollipop
the best i could find was that list of apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470862
i wanted to avoid intalling a new rom or going through titanium backup to freeze apps one by one
so is there anything i havent found?
thanks in advance!
You'd be better off using Titanium to manually remove anything you don't want. One person's bloat is another person's essential app. Besides, it only takes a few minutes.
Wise words. However, is there a safe list of apps we can freeze/uninstall with TB?
Can we still use package disabler pro to kill bloatware on the s8? Has anyone worked on a safe debloat list?
I'm currently using it with no issues.
Hi all,
I'm on a Sprint S8 running PartCyborgRom. More and more apps that I use are no longer usable, and I'm guessing because my phone doesn't pass SafetyNet.
I use a lot of root apps and Xposed modules to customize the phone and disable bloat.
Have any of you just bit the bullet and upgraded to an Oreo ROM without Root? What are your workarounds for not having Root? I've used BK Disabler before. Are there other Knox apps to do other Root-like functions?
I'm definitely thinking about jumping to a different phone, but I think my only option for a fully rootable phone on Sprint is getting a Pixel 3 right from Google...
Without root and Titanium Backup, what are you using to backup and restore app data?
ANY thoughts on the dilemma would be great.

Logic would suggest to weigh the options. Which do you need more,The apps that wont work,Or root.
If you need the said app update. If you need root more stay rooted Til a better device comes along

I use Adhell 3 to disable bloat and block ads. Apart from that, I also have GoodLock and various other customization apps from the Galaxy Store. I don't really feel the need for root anymore.
Used to use a Oneplus 2 before this. Used several ROMs, even developed for the phone. Felt the need to root because Oxygen OS at that point didn't offer much.
But with Touchwiz, I already have all the features I need.
I have been rooting all my Android phones since old Samsung s2.
But for s8, i have been using for 1.5 years without rooting. There are a lot of alternative apps around for non root s8.
The upside is able to use apps that pass safety net etc.
The only downside is unable to use twrp backup. But since its not root, its quite safe and stable. Will not get bootloop and unable to boot into phone etc.
I may flash to BQL1 to trial-run without root.
Considered jumping to a Pixel 3, but as far as hardware goes, it looks a bit inferior to the S8.
