As i know you could not deinstall apps like youtube or fm radio or some of this list cause its system integratet apps. you just could deaktivate them and in the process of deaktivation it will just deinstall the updates of them. for really deinstall those apps you need to root your device and then use a app like system app remover (root).

Any reason why this continually decides to run even after I end the process in task manager? I do not use the widget and frankly would like to remove it all together. Pleas le help. Thanks.

Some services are restarted automatically and you can't stop it from happening. You shouldn't be killing tasks anyway.
OK. Is this service/app required for the phone. If not, Where can I find this particular apk to remove

if you are rooted you can use an app "root explorer" to go into the system apps and move the daily briefing apk. move it to a folder on your sd card as a backup in case you ever need it again. then reboot your phone, go to manage applications and you should be able to uninstall it.
ive done this with other system apps without a problem (dualclock, buddiesnow, telenav,my files and some others) but i kept daily briefing so i dont know how it affects the phone. be sure to have a backup of it.

People say this but I have never seen any hard data to back it up. What I can tell you is since I started running ATK on my phone my battery life has improved immensely and I have experience none of the lag or app startup delay that others have complained about.

yep that did the trick. Thanks!
Thanks for the info! Daily Briefing has been on my uninstall list ever since I noticed it popping up in the task list constantly, and accessing the web. Never could find it listed in uninstall apps lists. Finally, unable to uninstall it in the GoLauncher app drawer, I added it to a homescreen and long pressed it, and selected Uninstall from the popup. The uninstall process started and continued normally, but at the end I got "Unsuccessful". I ran the app for the first time ever and went to Settings and unchecked all the boxes. The app went from 3 screens to one, that just says no information. I'm hoping this keeps it inactive... Will let you know how it went.
What about making a list of apps (mainly sony ones) that can be disabled without compromising functionality?
For example I do not use sonh calendar end facebook/twitter integration, so would like to disable thiese ones and many more.
yes u can, but you need root.

I wrote disable not uninstall
I'd like to make a list with the help of everyone
I have deinstalled with RootAppDelete or you can disable them. ATM i using monxdified 257, have installed my prefered supersu and deinstalled the other two. Also deinstalled calculator and adaway.
I have DISABLED all the apps in the attached screenshots, and so far no problems.
Maybe others wanna add more?
In addition if you have root, install titanium backup, you can freeze any apps which is the same as disabling, you can do pretty much any app.
how to disable an app ??
Settings > applications > scroll across to all
Click on the required app and press disable. Simple really
Is it better to just disable system apps or fully delete them ?

There is ABSOLUTELY zero reason to touch any apps in /system, period. Ever. If you do, it will break OTAs, if you delete the wrong thing you'll have to reflash the ROM to recover, etc.
Settings-Apps->All, look for the ones you want to disable, do it there. If you can't disable them there, use pm disable com.app.name. If somehow you disable something critical, you can always factory reset to go back to normal.
If you touch /system, factory reset won't un-break what you did.
I use System app remover (ROOT) to delete system apps.
I always delete apps I dont use and want by deleting them from /system/app and /system/priv-app and I never had any problem or issue with it.
Also, currently, I use CloudyStock so I dont worry about OTA incompatibility.
More better is to disable or freeze unused apps. Why to delete? If you delete any essentially app from system your phone can be damaged.

Yes i think same maybe is better just disable apps. They will not work and that is it. Maybe phone when we delete some app trying to find that app and just cause problems. With disable is more secure..
I always delete what I don't want from my phone rather than simply disabling the apps. Of course, I've been tinkering with my phones for years, so I know what I'm doing. I also don't take OTA updates, so ruining the ability to do so is not a concern for me.

Why yes, deleting stuff like Chrome, Google+, Maps or any other app that can be downloaded from the Play Store will certainly damage the phone.

Why do we need all the Facebook apps?
I have never had a mobile phone before thats had all these additional apps installed. I have always just installed the Facebook app.
So what exactly are these needed for?
They can only be disabled and not uninstalled.

I call that trash just like the rest of the bloatware since i got the snapdragon version no root for me i used package disabler pro to disable that i think you can use adb as well to uninstall it
Yep its all trash, according to some Google searching it appears that Samsung and Facebook struck a deal. Which is why they are system apps. I think we should still have the option for removal though , for those who don't use Facebook.
Maybe it should have a prompt when first setting up or a clean reset asking if you would like to install Facebook.
It seems like I get longer Battery life after completely wiping everything related to Google (Including Google Play/Mobile Services) with root (I was already. It isn't worth it to root just to degoogle your phone as you can remove most google packages with tha adb shell uninstall command. But with root you can wipe every single one of them). Is this possible (I think yes as there is no Google Services running in the background all the time. No location services, no Google Play, no Mobile Services or Google Synchronization......)? Should I post a tutorial?
Your thoughts?

Hi...i don't think it makes sense to root it for that..you can disable all off with CCSWE or Package Disabler apk and enable it on again if necessary .... and as for the battery, it will certainly last a bit longer without Google service... if you already have a turorial ready, why not ...

I was already rooted. It would be really stupid to just to remove some apps as you can remove most of them with adb.

Exactly , and that's another example that doesn't need root for something like that...and that stupidity has nothing to do with this case ... anyone can do whatever they want with their device ... it was my opinion that you suggested in the OP.. [emoji6]

Play services tends to use more than it should for battery on ANY device and disabling it will definately help with battery life. The hit in battery is just the sacrifice you make to run ANY app that utilizes play services (not just google apps, and more than one would think).
I debloat and remove a lot of useless sh*t using adb appcontrol.

I think app control only disables the package. Correct me if I'm wrong.
For a full removal I recommend the adb uninstall command it goes:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 [PackageNameHere]
You can use an app like package names viewer 2.0 to get the package names

I removed only the stuff that I am absolutely certain I will never need, like Facebook and kids crap. The rest is disabled via CCSWE App Manager.
You can do whatever you like. Just make a list of everything you remove, in case you need to reinstall something later.
if it is rooted, make backups of the apps with Titanium. Disabling it doesn't do much good because they will still be on the device. Crap is Crap, delete it...

As far as I understand it only removes it from user 0, the primary user, but still persists, although it´s not actiated. If an app is locked, you can´t uninstall it entirely. On the other hand, I understand that you can still make the official updates when doing it this way.

If you haven´t tried it already, try to install PCAPdroid and see how many apps are trying to connect to some server somewhere all the time without any benefit for you. Although I knew I was beeing monitored at a very detailed level, I was still shocked. Now I got it under control with NetGuard, an other app I can recommend. The paid version of NetGuard also comes with a simple network log (not straight forward to configure, but works fine). It´s some very handy tools.
The point is, of course you can save battery if you uninstall all those abusive apps that constantly uses your CPU and Internet connection. I don´t know how much, but some you can save.
