Love the phone, but - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Do you agree that there is too much stuff pre-installed? And yes I am aware that this is fairly common ..

Isn't the bloatware uninstallable?

Some, but not all of the bloatware can be uninstalled. But you can set up folders in the app screen now and move all the uninstallable bloatware shortcuts there and tucked out of the way. Of course, if the mere idea that there's bloatware on the phone bothers you that much, you're going to have to root.

thanks for the folders tip, must be new to TW3.0

folders in the app screen???????

Open your app tray. Hit menu>edit. Then just drag and drop apps into the new folder box. It will then just create one icon called folder with all the apps you put in it.

cool thanks. Now I gotta figure out how to reorder the apps alphabetically in each folder

Folder options for apps?

Would there be a way to organize apps in different folders for example: spare parts, titanium backup, etc.... in a folder called ROOT. So you could be able to open the app drawer and see folders instead of a bunch of clutter and in each folder would open like another app drawer. Thanks in advance

another free option is app organizer. I think it is a little better then the free version of folder organizer but the paid folder organizer is by far the best.

[Q] Anyway to get MUIU like folders on other ROMS?

Like my title states...the one reason I love the MIUI rom is because of the folders. Is there any APK or any way we can get that on another rom? The MIUI rom has certain issues that I do not like to deal with. Thanks.
I believe astro file viewer allows you to classify your apps and make folders on your homescreens. It even allows you to pick the icons for each folder. It's free in the market.

[Q] Method or Apps on Galaxy Nexus to clean up folders

Hi, anyone knows an app or method how to clean up unused folders on Galaxy Nexus (folders from previous app installs, cache etc)? tia
Plug your phone into your PC and delete them or use Root Explorer. I'm sure you could have figured that out.

How could there be an app that could do this? It wouldn't know what you consider to not be worthy file.

There's an app to tell the other app what's not worthy. It's called "whatchu talkin bout willis?". It's free in the market.

Like the apps SDmaid or DiskUsage?
I believe the OP is referring to an app which removes the MANY orphaned files and folders that are left behind by apps which have been uninstalled.
I find this to also be a issue as Android seems really sloppy with cleanup of these orphaned files/folders. When I check my storage space, there are lots of folders from apps I removed weeks ago... And these are in areas I have access to. I'd hate to know what's been leftover in root areas of storage.

bell bloat

I have seen some different lists of the gs3 bloat list, but im wondering who actually has a bell model and has gotten rid of all the bloatware??

Lol as much as I apperciate the hint... a lil more direction/instruction works best lol
also after installing linda... the stuff in that folder is only about 5 apps... im looking to clean all the bs off the phone.. using the typica freeze/uninstall apps with titanium
You will require root access. Then, navigate to system/csc/BMC and system/app directories from internal SD. Bell bloatware as well as any other unnecessary apps can be deleted from there.

thxx for the tip, but i can t shift it, buttun is unactive :/
this is weird, it must surely be somewhere
You can back up it
You can use Android assistant to back up it and have it on your memory card as it appears doesn't support moving to sd
this is what i would liek to understand:
when you buy an app, before it get installed, it has to be downloaded,and then stored. I though it was done in /data/app but it seems that not all app are stored there by default obviously.
where else can it be?
uninstallable system apps located at system/app
