Applications Safe To Remove - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

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.

would love a full list of this, i think this is going to be a commonly asked question. i'm still not 100% what i should be getting rid off

I've frozen or removed all of the above and AP Mobile, Yahoo finance, AccuWeather, Buddies now and Video maker with no issues using AntTek App Manager.

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
com.sec.android.providers.downloads
Crash Notifier

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.

No accounts setup in CM7

Hello, whenever I flash CM7 (either the stables or nightlies) I never get the setup options.
So I can't log into my Google account.
I have tried doing it manually but the Google account does not show neither does Facebook or any of the other options.
Trying to log in through the mail app presents a "could not find server error"
Does anyone have a solution for this.
I've tried searching the forum for a similar post and Googling the problem both with no luck, sorry if It's a repost

when i first rooted last year, it took me ages to realise this. I spent ages, about 4 weeks looking for all the apps to download - and couldnt work out why the market wouldnt accept my gmail account i just added to the mail app, this was before i discovered XDA that has since made my life a lot easier
It's been months actually, I resorted to jokerdroid when I gave up on finding the solution. And like you I've found this lifesaving forum. Is there a way to get Facebook and twitter intergration back or should I just download their apps?

[Q] T-Mob Bloatware Removal

Anyone figure out how to remove the T-Mobile Hotspot app? I used Titanium to remove pretty much every other crApps but can't seem to isolate that stupid app. I'm rooted and waiting for more custom ROMs, but would love to get rid of the needless bloat in the meantime. Also... Is there any other hidden apps (Carrier IQ, etc) that I could remove? How do we do it?
Check the development section. It should solve your problem

Yep. I did. Didn't see it there after searching so figure I'd post the question here since it's not really development related.

On a non-rooted phone, you can only disable from the Application Manager. To remove from your phone completely, you have to root it first.

but when I go to Setting->Application Manager->ChatON (as an example), I only see 2 options, Force stop and Uninstall updates. I did not see any disable option.
You have to uninstall updates before it will give you the option to disable.
Keep in mind not all system apps will have the option. But uninstall updates, and then see what it says.

Does freezing with Titanium do the same as uninstalling? I'm afraid to uninstall, in case I need to go back to stock (I already deleted a couple apps, I want to be able to get my warranty if needed).
So has anyone removed the Hotspot app? I keep seeing run-arounds removing other bloatware (which does help!) but specifically, can the "T Mobile Hotspot" app be removed? What's it named and where's it located? It's the last piece of bloat I have.
Samsung backup provider
Samsung cloud data relay
Samsung cloud syncadapters
What exactly do these three items do? Can I still download movies like the Avengers? I am guessing these are similar to google backups for contacts/ calenders etc. I see them running all the time.
This works great. Used it on Wicked rom and on Domination V2.

Apps Safe to Remove on Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint Version, Stock Rooted)

I like to run stock rooted, so here is a list of the apps that I have stripped from my stock rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint version); my goal is always to run only the services that I use, and get rid of the rest. I don't use social networking apps integration (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), VPN/Enterprise aspects, motion features, voice features, integrated weather clients or news clients, Bluetooth sharing or NFC stuff (bumping), Kies, Google Wallet, most widgets, etc.
What I DO use on my S3 with this stripped-down stock arrangement:
Bluetooth streaming audio (A2DP) and hands free phone (HFP) to the stereo in my car, sharing of pics/messaging through email, text & MMS, all photo & video functions (including editing), my gmail account using the stock email client (I'm not a fan of the stock Gmail app.) and I use the stock Exchange email as well for my work email account. I use WiFi on my home network, at work, and on the go when available. I use the stock clock for alarms, etc. I remove the stock calculator and replace it with RealCalc. I remove the stock Samsung & Swype keyboards after installing and switching to Smart Keyboard Pro. I use WiFi tethering to tether my laptop when I'm away. I remove the stock browser & install a 3rd party browser. I use a paid version of Documents to Go to replace Polaris Viewer for PDFs, Excel, Word, etc. Other than this, there's not much else I need!
Keep in mind that I remove ALL of these apps AT THE SAME TIME using Titanium Backup; I go down the list, wipe data on each, then delete the APK & Odex of each...some of them are dependent on each other, so if you remove only a portion of them, your results may vary...
Anyways, here are the apps that I have safely stripped without incident using Titanium Backup: (Note: Be sure to clear data of app prior to removal, and ALWAYS make a recovery backup of your ROM prior to stripping apps, and I would also suggest making a copy of the System/App folder and placing in on your SD card in case you want to add any apps back to the phone individually after stripping...and use Titanium Backup to make a batch backup of all system app data as well. If you need help with adding system apps back, just give me a shout!)

Thank you, glad to help!
Great info.
I was doing the same thing. None at a time in fear of breaking something.
Noon question :
Is freezing the same thing without removing? (but with the option to unfreeze)

Technically no because the files still exist in the system they're just locked away
I guess I should have asked that different. If youfreeze a apk, technically if the system runs while it is frozen you wouldn't need it? I froze some stuff and had things force close. Unfroze and it worked again. I guess I was wrong.... Or lucky... ..?
Either way, your list covers mostly what Ive already seleted to delete by freeze check... Lol

Keep in mind also that sometimes you have to remove or freeze more than one component of a system app in order to prevent force closes; for example, some system apps have multiple apk's that are dependant on each other; one apk might be the main program while a separate apk might be a watchdog process for that same program....so when one is frozen or removed, the orphaned process apk (or yet another system process) may try to look for or use the missing one, triggering a F/C.
Question...since of the .apk removable files listed above also have a .odex for, are these odex files safe to remove?
Samsung Galaxy S3 - StrongSteve Odexed Blue Rom using xda app-developers
Yes, you should remove both...Easiest way would be to use titanium backup, click on each app, clear data, then delete. That will remove the apk and it's .odex as well.

Which ones would be to remove that are "known "to cause battery drain because start up in the background for no reason. I'm not wanting to remove everything, just what's necessary for battery. Thanks for the help if possible.
Can you count and post how many apk's you have in your /system/app folder,i have 74 apk files and everything works.
There is way more things that you can delete,i went from about 140 to 74 apk's,my battery life imroved too,i get 6hrs of screen time.
Thank you for posting this, my wife just got an SIII and I root it for her. Now I can strip it down to what she needs.
something clever goes here...
Renaming /system/bin/gsiff_daemon helped me a lot. I believe this file has something to do with facebook. It is known to cause high battery drain.

[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
Any info' on safe bloat ware removal would be great. Thanks guys n ' gals

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',

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.

COMPLETE! debloat list for Droid Razr m

Hi All.
After a few days of hard work and a few times of (i don't remember how many) reflashing stock rom, i have made a complete list of safely disabled (remove or freeze its up to you) bloatware on my Droid Razr m KK lates OTA update. (Obviously this was made possible with the help of HYDROGEN PER OXIDE thanks to HYDROGEN & SERG_GANGUBAS). I have seen some other topics here on XDA about debloating M but i think those lists are incomplete. Also this is the first time i am creating a new thread on any forum so my apologies if something i did wrong. So here goes...

I have not disabled Playstore related apps and services because they are needed obviously. But you can delete them just in case. Plus, by deleting all these apps, i cannot use PIN or PASSWORD lock. Pattern is working fine and i haven't found the culprit yet. Everything else is working fine. I had almost 500mb free RAM after doing this(no apps installed through playstore yet).
Did i miss something? Please mention. Needless to say you can keep the apps that you want to use. Hopefully i helped...
**EDIT**
Don't disable VPN Dialogs if you use a VPN app. The app will not work i.e. it won't connect to the servers.
More Apps added in first post.
One more thing i would like to share with you guys from my experience, just in case someone finds it useful.
If you guys are deleting bloat for more storage space, then its fine. But if storage is not an issue and you're doing it for battery saving only, then i think keeping all the bloat and installing donate version of Greenify and Greenifying everything is far better option than deleting the apps because deleting the bloat causes the phone to lag and sometimes FC's. When i deleted all the bloatware, for sure i was having more free ram but i didn't notice a substantial gain in battery life. Now my phone is back in original state and i have greenified everything and now my battery gives me 1 hour more of SCREEN ON time. I am not sure if it will be the same for everyone. Just my 2 cents...
My personal list for Debloater. Aggressive )
Don't quite remember if it is suitable for 4.1.2, but 4.4.2 RAZR M / Luge for sure.
