Applications Safe To Remove

If you find applications which are safe to remove from the ROM, please post them here, along with what functionality is lost, including which "app" as it shows in the drawer, gets removed.
I will try to compile a big list in uniform format later on. Please only post if you have actually tested it.
Spreadsheet Of Applications Removable

I have removed all the hub apps social hub,music hub,game hub, etc using root explorer method I can confirm that it is safe to remove these with no problems system/apps is where they are.

what sort of functionality loss this you notice? Can you please tell us, i'm planing to get rid of most of stock apps when i get the phone but like to know what will be affected.

So.
Being a new android user, I messed around with my phone without a full understanding of what would happen if i uninstalled a core application. I assumed incorrectly that Titanium Backup would allow me to reinstall applications, and then uninstalled the stock clock application thinking that it was one of the many clock widgets.
Could someone upload their stock Clock application apk here, or advise me as to how I can restore the stock clock without having to flash the original ROM?

Do you mean this apk?
i'm no expert either but if its the one you deleted then pushing it back via adb should do the trick.

Here are some I'm not sure about (some seem obvious) and would like clarification on what they do and if they're ok to remove:
chocoEUKor
com.orange.authentication.simcard.permission (is this specific to the Orange carrier?)
com.samsung.app.playreadyui
com.samsung.InputEventApp
com.sec.android.app.lcdtest
com.sec.android.app.screencapture (is this a built in one like LG?)
com.sec.android.app.smtsetup

Anyway to remove the Agenda widget? Can't find that anywhere in Titanium...

I think its part of one of the calendar listings. One is the set of widgets and one is the calendar app. Whatever one doesn't have "open" available when you click on it is the set of Widgets.

Sorry this might sound stupid, but how do you remove the default apps (eg Yahoo finance)
I have a rooted, Galaxy S2 on generic firmware (initially O2 branded). I have root explorer installed

[Q] Is your "Call" LOGS messed up like mine (shows multiple logs in 1 conversation)

[Q] Is your "Call" LOGS messed up like mine (shows multiple logs in 1 conversation)
MY Phone - LOGS shows multiple logs on same single phone call...
Example, if i talk to 1 person for 1 hr...seams like every 2-3 minutes shows a time 3:57 PM Cancelled, 3:59 PM Cancelled, 4:01 PM Canceled...and up to 23 on 1 conversation
-It shows Green + Red arrows (incoming and outgoing like)
It's as if the a TRACKER or something has lost touch and starts another log, while i never loose actual connection with caller..
IT's annoying, i'd like 1 log saying on certain date talked to person for 45 minutes (not 8 logs for 1 call)
I just checked a stock SGS3 without ROOT and nothing removed..220 system Apps (that cell shows correctly)
Since it's been happening, i've traced it to certain apps I've removed way back in december..

Thanks for this. But for dropbox, its 50gb of space not 10.

Since when is Watch ON considered bloat? From what I've seen I think the general consensus seems to be that it's pretty darn useful...

not all of it is correct and some of it is not bloat.
Also some apps have dependencies.

Isn't ChatOn the only video calling service right now that can make use of the Galaxy s4's dual-shot feature?

Makes it sound like it's a list of files which can be considered bloat by some and can be removed without any deleterious effects provided the .apk's removed don't negatively impact the desired function of a specific feature or app a user may not consider as bloatware.

Be careful uninstalling ChatON. ChatON V 1.0.1.0 is required for S Voice and Optical Reader to work properly. Uninstalling ChatON V cause Optical Reader to warn "Unforunately, Samsung Text-to-speech engine has stopped" and not function properly or not at all. It also causes the S Voice not reply back. I uninstalled the other chaton without issues.

This isnt true. My ROM has Chat on removed and s voice and optical reader work fine. I think you are thinking of SamsungTTS (TTS = Text to speech)

I Flashed the stock MDL ROM many times to figure out why Optical Reader keeps breaking after debloating. I'm running full stock MDL ROM as it is straight from the store, not custom ROM. The only thing I did was install TRWP custom recovery via ODIN and rooted my phone then installed Titanium root backup. Afterwards, I spent almost an hour checking all the apps and functions on the S4 from camera to all the S apps. Everything worked perfectly so I know custom recovery, rooting and installing titanium backup didn't break anything. The first thing and the only thing I did was uninstall ChatON V and only that 1 app. It broke S Voice, Optical Reader and S Translate. If you don't believe me, back up your current ROM and reflash stock MDL ROM and follow my instructions above.
Even these links tell you not to unstall ChatON

If you're running custom ROM then the ROM cooker could easily address this issue while cooking.
The stock ROM has ChatON V and ChatON. ChatON V is an add on for ChatON. By itself, It doesn't work without ChatON. This means it won't hog resources or use up RAM since it never starts up to begin with. Other Samsung Apps depend on ChatON V to work but not ChatON. You can uninstall ChatON and the ChatON app will disappear from the app drawer. I've flashed the MDL ROM at least 5 times to narrow down to ChatON V.

[Q] Safe bloat ware/apks to uninstall?

Greetings member, hope your all well...
Just downloaded the stock firemware again on the phone. Running good, and good to see my internal sd and RAM not full yet. Spent a while trying to find accurate info'/links on apks/system app/bloats etc that can be safety removed.... No such luck yet.
If any one has link/info' on safe apks/system app/bloats to remove it would be nice to know, and delete them soon..
Found this page, it's not very detailed and I reckon I would need some of the apks listed http://www.droidviews.com/list-of-b...ng-galaxy-devices-that-can-be-safely-removed/
I downloaded nobloat free yesterday, says it can move the aps to ex ds them re install later. I tried, can not re install on the apks I deleted already

Just mean't the info' is about the weather demon apk, saw a few bits on google about the battery consumption on it, that's all. Was a 'lazy' cut n paste..
Hey DMJoh, I have deleted the windy weather apk amonst others apks, though can see the apk for deleting the stockwall live and the news wall live paper. Know where these 2 apk are 'hidden' by any chance? There not on any root uninstaller list.
Thanks for any info',
Alex

You can use any Root File Explorer apps, i personally prefer Xplore, but it depends on your mindset.. Okay, whatever, see you can find these apks in /Root/system/app. If it is there, just simply delete it. If you want a backup copy move it to some other location, say External SD.
But understand removing live wallpaper picker may sometime creates FC. But am not sure about that, see to it.

I think the apk is livewallpaper picker something like that, am not sure, search a bit in dat folder.. Also see /Root/system/priv-app. But you should be careful deleting files in that folder. Sorry i cant exactly remember the name of those apks, am not on stock now!
There is an apk called SecWallpaperChooser.apk, its the app which chooses wallpaper, not live walls, so dont delete it,
You need superuser access that you can enable in Configuration menu of Xplore.

Disabling system apps and bloatware list anyone?

Im looking for a list of standard system apps I can disable along with any bloatware (other than the obvious Sprint apps) that I can disable. A list of recommendations or the like wound be great if anyone can point me in the right direction please.
Thanks for your time...

I would love this also - for MM 6.0.1

I extracted the 6.0.1 update & deleted all the apps that i didnt wanted basically all sprint & some google & Samsung apps. Went from 1.78gb to 1.2gb... everything works like it supposed to...just dont know if it will have the same effect by doing it with titanium. .honestly i dont wanna find out lol...

Unzip the rom.. Go through system /apps & system/priv-apps you can pretty much tell what is what. Remove the folders you don't want (deodexed roms}
Then re zip the rom and voila!
Place the removed folders in corresponding folders on your pc so you know what you took out.
Of course you can use titanium backup to freeze apps (recommended ) and if all is well uninstall them and in the future you'll know what is safe to remove.

Great info ,thanxs

Doing the process now, once I've flashed the modified ROM and it works I'll post details. FYI, this is my first time but it seems straightforward enough.

I just took the sourced link and edited his script file to match ours it worked flawless
note: it does get rid of SFinder and QConnect bar
So edit that out if you don't want That removed.
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B37pWIqfNmDxemZrSE9LNWZwRms&export=download
Edit to your liking and make a zip with it if anyone wants i can make one for you. just send me back the edited code
Found this here: so credit to this guyfor the script he has zips but its for the international phone.

Cool. Looking forward to your zip.
Thank You very much for taking your time to share your work.

awesome can't wait!
let us know how the phones battery is.

ive seen the phone battery perform worse than Lollipop, but to early to say, as ive just reflashed and wiped everything, plus had pulled the battery a few times, so it needs calibration, overall seems more responsive, the new animations are really nice, GoodLock is the cherry on the cake, makes i tfeel like a brand new phone.
My list is a cocktail of the note 4 lollipop list above and some s7 and s7e , s6 bloatware list , since the core remains the same , figured it should work and it seems like it has .

This is the list that i have used, all seems well so far , just trying to have the email app configured, it isnt picking up settings, rest all seems fine, pls note when rebuilding the zip, leave compression to support old devices, if you use tooo high a compression , the phone would not be able to unpack, i had this issue the first time around.

My good sir, you are the real MVP. Many thanks for your hard work! Just unzipped tx's PC1 stock deodexed rom and deleting the bloatware to try it out. So after deleting, I just compress and flash with TWRP?
