Disable apps

What are the recommended apps to disable and/or get rid of? I did a factory reset because of nasty wake locks and trying to figure everything that can be disabled without losing features or anything. I know some of this is subjective, but still like some ideas. Thanks.

Until I can completely remove some bloat, I have the following turned off so far. It's by no means a thorough list.
Accessories
Audible
BlurbCheckout
Calculator (installed 3rd party Calculator)
Caller Name ID
Cloud
FamilyBase Companion
Google Play Books
HP Print Service Plugin
Message+ (Didn't even bother to figer out what this is before I killed it)
Messages (installed Hangouts and/or 3rd party messagin app)
My InfoZone
NFL Mobile
Smart Remote (downloaded the latest WatchOn app from Samsung)
Swype
Verizon Location Agent
Verizon Support and Protection
Verizon Tones
VZ Navigator
As far as the text-to-speech deletion goes, just uninstall whichever ones you don't anticipate needing.
Settings>Language and Input>text-to-speech options>Listen to an example. Really it's personal preference, and uninstalling unused tts voice data only serves to free up internal storage. For example, the "high quality" female English US voice for Google TTS is 244MB, The Samsung high quality voice data is around 90MB per language/gender.

Samsung has launched s5 devices with less permissions do to whatever you want! So maybe you have to root your device (which is not possible right now bcoz it will cut your warranty out) So another solution for it is try to search for an app on play store which disables system applications! Without root

I've turned off the following:
Accessories
Audible
Blurb Checkout
Caller Name ID
Family Base Companion
Flipboard
Google Play Books
Google Play Newsstand
IMDb
Isis Mobile Wallet
My InfoZone
My Magazine
NFL Mobile
Samsung Link Platform
Slacker
Smart Remote
VZ Navigator

This is my complete list... everything still works (except the Samsung bloat crap like S-voice and the verizon garbage pre-loaded). I did turn off some Google apps that were needless, and the Samsung fitness stuff (e.g. ANT+ connection, fitness, etc.), in addition to other things (S-pen, fonts, etc.)

I believe samsung billing is for app purchases through their proprietary app store
Samsung Link is a protocol for connecting only with samsung TV's/laptops - has functionality for screen-mirroring, DLNA only with samsung branded devices.
Samsung Galaxy... I'm not entirely sure what it does to be honest. I've tested fairly extensively if any functionality / apps / services are broken as a result, and everything still seems to work fine. I have a suspicion that this is related to a tutorial/demo function.

Ah ok, thanks! I see that you have the "Downloads" app turned off. What does that app do? I know it's part of media, which is giving me a lot of wakelocks. The three things that are part of "Media", can you uninstall all three, and what does each one do?

Downloads app is just an app that shows a history/list of everything you've recently downloaded (e.g. in the downloads folder). I prefer to use ESFileExplorer as it's more versatile as a file manager, and I don't care for an app that tracks file downloads/history.
In previous android versions, I believe the Media app was part of what cached/listed files such as images (thumbnails), music files, docs, etc. I vaguely recall disabling it in the past to find that all my MP3's and photos no longer appeared in the gallery/google music app. I would not disable it if my memory serves me correctly.
Yeah, your battery usage looks about in-par with mine. I came from a GNex and was used to seeing display always overtaking androidOS/systemUI (man, that phone had atrocious battery life and screen-on time)... the GS5 has such a great power-sipping display that I came to the same surprise as you to find it ranks on-par/sometimes below OS usage in a normal day. The battery life on this phone rocks.
EDIT: Media usage will sometimes spike if you've recently added a bunch of new files (photos, mp3's, etc.) to your device, as it's scanning/caching/indexing lists to the files. I'd give it a day or two if that's the case, and you'll see it won't consume much of anything once things are static on your phone.

Oh OK. I see. So perfectly safe to disable downloads. What about the media app itself? Do you have it disabled? That screen shot with the high media usage, I'm not sure we have it was so high. It's first time it has been like that and I haven't added any more music. Another question.
Do You Know What The Chrome sandbox is? And does your keyboard ever do that thing with the capital letters?

I don't have the media app disabled and wouldn't recommend it. I also wouldn't disable chrome sandbox ( though I'm not sure of its function, its installed alongside the app so it may be a plugin for other apps).
Not sure what keyboard caps problem you're referring to. I use only the android keyboard (not Samsung nor Swype).

Doze Now Available for Devices on Lollipop

Found this article on Phone Arena Doze. Someone has mimic'd the code of Doze from Marshmallow and made it available in a stand alone app in the Play Store. It creates a VPN when your screen is off, and limits background processes' access to data and whatnot, thus limiting wakelocks(at least that is what's advertised) It seems to be working well for me thus far, but I will update with results after I get a full day's use of Doze to see if it has saved me idle battery drain. It may help you too!

My T-Mobile Note 5 received an OTA update that added a feature called "app optimization" which mimics doze.

App optimization came with the Note 5 from day one as far as I know. I got the update on my S6 well before I bought the note 5.
Does anyone know if App Optimization interferes with notifications from apps like whatsapp, telegram, wickr, and signal?

Well it says does before you optimization starts so I'm guess yes.. If you don't use the app for a variety of days

I had to drop Marshmallow from my Nexus 6 because my alarms stopped going off and I kept missing my meds... Doze has issues.

Not for the N920T, I got it when it first came out. App optimization was only added on the latest update (COJ5), AOGE, BOH4, BOH6, & COI5 did not have it.
Not sure about those apps but it only works on user installed apps. Would be nice if some can make a mod to add system or preinstalled apps.

Hi,
I have owned a nexus 6p which has doze in it and I must say it is the best feature but what app optimization does is shuts down the application or hibernate the application if it's service(s) is not being used for a certain number of days.
But had some screen issues and having a replacement which had the same issue made me switch to note 5.

Greenafly V built in optimizer V package disabler

Am I overdoing it by using all three. My screen time has increased to 5 hours (I'm a heavy user) not rooted. Not sure which one if any is the most effective. I disabled Facebook and replaced it with the chrome shortcut, but I do use messenger I find it very good for chrystal clear phone calls shame I can't shortcut this on chrome. Package disabler seems very good but not sure. Your thoughts

A while ago I was using everything I could to improve battery life. Greenify, Amplify, Package Disabler, freezing/deleting system apps, 2g only, no auto brightness and so on.
Now I do not even install xposed. I just let the phone run as it is. Remember to keep your signal strength strong and greenify apps that you're not using. That's all.

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

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:

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

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.

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????

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.
