Topic says it all. I have magisk root and want to debloat as much as I can of Samsung apps as I don't use them, but some of them seem pretty deeply ingrained in the system/settings (like Bixby, Samsung Pass etc.) . Is there a comprehensive list of apps, which people removed and it worked for them ok?

Hi
some Q abut the same issue : bloatware
1. the more apps installed on my phone = the more memory is consume ? the faster my battery drains ?
2. if i root my S4 and then delete all unwanted apps came with it, both Samsung's and cellular provider's, do i risk stability of the S4 by that ?
3. regarding the former question, if i go to app manager and disable apps i do not like or use, do i risk stability of the S4 by that ?
p.s. i do not like to root my S4 at this time... seems unnecessary to me
Thanks for helping

1. Depends on what app u installed. Some will autostartup and run in the background. Some won't. You can use Greenify (requires root) to hibernate the apps.
2. If you're talking about bloatwares, then no stability wont be affected. If you're talking about some system apps like the default Samsung Music etc, then yes it might affect stability.
3. I use TitaniumBackup to freeze or uninstall apps. Becareful of what you freeze. Freezing certain system apps will disable certain features and might cause stability issue.
There are many ways you can deal with bloatware.
1. First and fastest is to simply flash a clean efficient new ROM like CM.
If u wana keep the Samsung looks and functionality the u need to stick with stock, in this case u need root and
2. u can manualy uninstall the system apps u dont want or need
3. THe last and best way imo is to use a script like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307355 that will clean a lot of bloatware apps without risking your ROM stability
Hey folks!
TrulyClean is a "any rom" script that removes A LOT of crap-apps (98+ apps removed) and other stuff on the phone.
Script will remove about 600mb since version 1.3 (Counted by removing from stock firmware.)
The purpose is to give you a clean start with no extras, much like the Nexus series experience but with the Samsung core intact.
All bloatware apps will be removed running the default script. I even count apps like S Voice and Samsung Hub as unnecessary apps.
Neither do I use Earth or Google+ and don't like these apps to be forced upon me as system apps when they are so easy to install from Play store!
It might be illusion but... I found my phone booting faster and running snappier with after applying this script.
Also, I don't have to cry anymore while checking the apps in the /system folder.

I have a list of apps I plan on using when I root my first device (OnePlus 5, Android 7.1.1). Please give me your suggestions! Are these good, bad, unnecessary, cool, etc.? Are any of these redundant? Are there any other apps that would be a shame to miss out on? Let me know!
-Greenify
-Oxygen Updater
-Sixaxis Controller
-Titanium Backup
-Flashfire
-Keepass2 USB Keyboard Plugin
-AdAway (for Google Chrome)
-Freedom (for stupid in-game microtransactions)
-Magisk
-Magisk Manager
You have Magisk AND SuperSU listed, they're both for superuser privileges. I would recommend just using Magisk, it will let you hide the root from certain apps, like banking apps, Android Pay, etc. It's also updated very regularly.
You also have Titanium Backup and System App remover, Titanium Backup will do you, it will allow you to remove pre-installed apps. You need to be careful which apps you remove too.
Don't be installing or even mentioning Lucky Patcher either, it's very likely to get you abuse. Buy your apps and support developers.
Hello, Since I do a lot with Rom, I wanted to ask you for your knowledge, ...
My questions are:
1. How can I get the stick apps from the S5, such as Touchwiz, System UI, Settings, etc on an X-Any Rom, eg. Use LineageOS or an AOSP Rom? The question comes up, because I know many well-known, who use an S5 and find my Gemoddete Rom class. Eg. Private mode despite root I got, but the apps can not be run.
2. Root removed, all data left, all apps and features work, but the Samsung Browser (6.2 version only) detects the root and locks the Safe Mode, Does anyone know a fix? Possibly a moddet apk that can be used as a system app (no update)
3.How can I convert a twrp backup as a zip?
I thank everyone for their attention and hope for helpful answers
It's been a while since I've rooted. I do install custom recovery and custom firmware but haven't had a real reason to root as well (mostly because banking apps tend not to work with root, sometimes even if using hide root apps).
My questions is...what do "kids" these days do when having root? You just do it for the sake of it or actually do something that benefits you/your phone?
When googling about what to do after rooting, most links/post are for backup (titanium etc) , ad blockers and some xposed frameworks...but...what else?
Same as you, to give myself a hard time with banking apps
I use root for adblocking, substratum and some stuff with tasker
Substratum, XDA Navigation Gestures (ROOT Mode), ES File explorer for debloating, Viper4Audio (Unbeatable EQ - Main reason), Button Mapper for Bixby button remaps and changed my Emoji fonts to iOS11.
Once you have rooted and seen benefits of it all, it's super hard not to!
I went 4 days thinking I cannot root my S8 as didn't wanna break it but that didn't last at all lmao...
Also, my banking app works as normal under Magisk Hide.

Every phone I had ended up rooted, some from day one and used the root mostly for what you've listed, especially for ad-blocking to edit the host file or using adhell on samsung phone . But, for some reason...didn't see the point to root my S8, and had it for almost 2 years now.
Substratum works on unrooted S8 (al least on Oreo did, haven't check on Pie...dark mode is OK--ish).
Blokada for ad-blocking does the job great without much fuss,.
Bixby remap--I think there is and app for that.
Viper4Audio and any other custom EQ - if you don't have high quality earphones/headphones you don't really see the benefits.
Youtube ads---since youtube vanced appeared ... no more ads.
Debloating-there are some heavy debloated roms around, I think.

I use Adaway too forgot to mention. I have also changed my DNS to 1.1.1.1 with HEBF.
Also, yes there are debloated roms but this method makes it possible for you to debloat the official software without flashing a custom rom (even if it is stock based it's heavily modified)
Bixby Remap is pants compared to button mapper also, it has a lot more features / options for button mapping. (Including vol buttons)
To be fair I forgot to mention I'm using RiCE 13.4 and I even had to debloat that after unticking pretty much everything in the AROMA installer. (SoundAlive, stock launcher had to be replaced / removed)
@xlucian ,
you're absolutely right, there are not many reasons to root our S8. To be honest, it's the first time for me not rooting for such a long time. I've the phone since November 17. Usually I rooted immediately or a few weeks after buying.
But adblocker and theming are working without root and there is no need to change to custom ROM since the original has plenty of nice features, that I would miss with a custom ROM and we getting regularly updates as well, so I don't see a reason too (so far )m.
I have plenty of reason for root my phone
I don't know where to start and where to finish
Adblock
Most of app with comes with add
What about lucky patcher
Viper for android
Dolby atoms
Xpose frame work and magisk manager
Substratum
Font manager custom boot animation
Es file manager with root and wifi password
Kernel auditor
Android tweaking
Best bettery life with greenify and speed
Free space on internal move apps to external
Easily remove preinstalled apps
And u can run incompatible apps
And there are plenty of reason to stay with root
I can't live without root and twrp
Adaway
Viper4A
Magisk Modules
SystemPanel app
generally to install new ROMs, actually I'm on Renovate ICE
Hello new here and while I have done some searches I am not quite finding what I am looking for which is maybe because I am not asking the right questions or searching for the right terms so hopefully someone can direct me to the right place!
I have an old Galaxy Grand Prime Sm-G530W running Android 5.1.1. It has 8gb storage and I would like to maybe remove some of the apps that I wont use, are not useful or are just bloatware.
However I am not sure what apps are what and which one I should avoid removing?
The phone will be used primary to make calls, will not be on a data and only use free wifi hotspot and the wife from my home.
I would like to maybe keep some kind of google maps ability, I do not want chrome but rather would use firefox along with ad blockers etc I know work well for me on FF.
I have have done some research but not a phone expert by far so I am not sure I want to root my phone, install custom roms. I read something about remove bloatware via "remove the pre installed apps using ADB commands" however figured I get some tips advice from people that know what they are talking about.
Ideally it would be great if there was some kind of program I can just plug into from my PC or some such that allows me to then simply remove the samsung and google bloat or unwanted programs so I could gain more room for apps I do want.
Right now after factory reset it uses like 3.50GB out of 8gb.
is there any Debloat program I can use on it out there?

Hello member of this small community, well the best way to remove bloatware is by root, the process is relatively simple.
1) Download the twrp recovery (.tar) belonging to the model you have.
2) Install it through Odin
3) Install Magisk Manager
With this done you can use applications such as root uninstaller, another alternative is to look if there is a custom rom for your model, but do not expect much as many roms have been abandoned and only a new project is kept alive, if the current rom does not present problems in performance, I recommend you leave it alone and start removing junk apps, another recommendation is to install SD maid, a great app for cleaning junk content of the phone.
