Great list. I just rooted a backflip and installed CM7 on it. It is better than stock but I still needed to trim more fat so that the phone is actually usable.
I think I'm in love with Moto rooting/modding. Never got into it with LG or HTC. Now I want to go and get my Defy back...!!

I hate the jammed together look of the Samsung calendar app but could not get it to go away even with Google Calendar installed. I've noticed oddly that with 4.4.2 if I freeze the Samsung calendar and all its related services with Rom Toolbox and then install Google Calendar I am able once again to see my beautifully organized Google Calendar in all its clean, usable glory.
One thing I also did was freeze the TouchWiz launcher and related services. I wonder if that helped as well, because I could not get that calendar to go away in 4.3 and I didn't try also freezing TouchWiz then.
I absolutely hate the Samsung calendar too! I'm on 4.3 and can disable it, so I don't know what your phone's issue was. Glad you got it froze now and Google installed.
Freezing all the Samsung crap does help. The touchwiz launcher though is just a launcher. It doesn't bog anything down. You didn't remove the "touchwiz framework". Only another rom will do that. You just removed a launcher.
Name says it all. Need inputs from owners of this device if Asus apps meant for other ZenFones work on this ROM without any porting? May need to download using Yalp store, since the play store may not permit such download with the disclaimer "this app is incompatible with your device" (sheesh!).
Basically hate Google integration and want to develop a noGapps Stock ROM, without Google apps and, possibly with Asus app alternatives (dialer, calendar, camera, clock, weather, etc)
I think ZenApps can't be porting here.
But maybe yes.
I'm own this device, running pure Android 8.1 without ZenApps. So, if you want Zen UI + ZenApps get other Zenfone device's, if you want pure Android Apps (Google) get it. Greetings

Most of the Asus Zenfone ZenUI apps are available on Google Play Store and you can download it from there. And in case you desperately need any app that is not listed on GPS then you can extract that apk from any Asus Zenfone stock ROM.
Can anybody post the links of playstore apps of ZenUi?
I need the launcher, dialer, contacts and messaging?
Could not find them in playstore

Some ZenUI apps actually depend on proprietary blobs that might or might not be compatible with this phone, and probably don't ship with the stock ROM.

Seems true. I have downloaded the following apk form apk mirror and installed them.
Zen launcher .. this is mainly for custom sorting of apps and creating folders which are not available in stock launcher.
Dialer and contacts
Quick memo
Clock
Weather
Sound Recorder
Calendar
Calculator and FM radio are already preloaded in the phone.
Everything installed without any errors. The following are the results.
Calendar always crashed and never worked.
Dialer and contacts did not crash but just not working. Nothing happens if i dial a number from the dial pad or call a number from the contacts list. Except these two the other zenui apps installed are perfectly working fine including the launcher.
Can anybody help me get t work the dialer and contacts please? I do not like the stock dialer and contacts apps.

Asus Mobile manager app doesn't work, everything is blocked on the manager app, no function loads. Doesn't support this mobile series/model, it's not compatible.
How I know? Bcoz I tried
Is there any way to install these apps into stock android by extracting the required zenui apps from zenfone 5 rom ,
I am installing ZenUI Launcher, Gallery and PixelMaster camera and it's working fine.

I tested it and the camera did not work. I'm using the "open camera" app right now.
Would it be that if I take the stock room zenfone 5 it works?
I just wanted to zenUI on my max pro m1
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.
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.
