I don't know all app's but after I flashed the last time I made a full backup of all app's using titanium backup.
Then I uninstalled everything I don't need with titanium.
Almost all Google apps and all s-app's.
I believe there are still a lot of background app's left with are now unneeded.
I believe I've seen somewhere in the dev.section a clean Rom.
Sorry for my bad English

Look at my rom.. X-Note zero edition (post n. 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43118095
Removed almost all bloatware and s note is in a separate zip file…
You can look into the rom zip and remove what you do not need in your device… or you can flash my rom

Check out bobdoblo's battery bible on the Galaxy S2 forums. Although not written for the Note 8, you can still follow most of the guide to maximize battery life. Best and most comprehensive guide I have ever seen, and it works well on both my I9100 and my N5110

There is a leak apk going around and it should have Books and Movie included but somehow I cant get the movie section on mine install..
I downloaded it from a link on droid-life and I've got movies in the market. I don't think rooted phones can use the movie feature though.
Installed last night on my rooted stock sense droid and the movie section is there although have not nor will I attempt to purchase one. Movies on these tiny screens just doesn't compare to the LED's in the house.
Google movies do not work on rooted phones. I'd suggest using either netflix or online websites to stream movies / tv episodes. I have a good website that has pretty much all the content that netflix doesn't offer (also a bunch of content that they already do). If you want the link PM me
I'm not a fan of the new market design (too many adverts) and it's kinda messy and jumbled. They still didn't fix the problem of finding what I'm actually searching for so I just reverted back to the old one.
Also I'm getting issue with apps not updating or the option to. I click to update app and just uninstall and open..??? I restored back to 2.3.6, also agree on looks of new market. Too much crap and search apps or missing apps sucks compared to older version.

general questions

Hi guys,
since 3 days I own a wonderfull GN ....
....but I have some issues (not rooted yet):
1. Is there no Standard Notepad on GN?
2. No Office-App like Polaris?
3. No File-Manager on GN?
4. Which program I could use on my notebook for Backups etc. (like iTunes)? Kies doesn't work.
5. The Stock-Music Player does not support 'folders' or am I to stupid to find this function?
wtf all I loved on my SGS2, does not exist on this mobile!
Thanks a lot

I guess that's the advantage of getting a Vanilla Android....doesn't come with pre apps installed
For notes I use color note
For office app use Quick office Pro
File Manager use Astro or root explorer
For backups as long as you have a gmail account everything is backed up to the cloud
The stock music player is Google music, where all the musics are on the music cloud... if you want download Android music player from the market and use it as a regular player, thats what I've done

Thanks
I tried to find 'quickoffice pro' but can´t find it for my GN.
If you can't find it on market, google it
Quick office pro apk
Download and instal

Allshare play, playing hard to get?

Why it is so difficult to get this one.
I have it preinstalled on my S3.
But I want to install it on my galaxy nexus (samsung again).
It isn't on google play, isn't even on samsungapps
That's when I search with both the S3 and the Nexus.
So far seems it only comes pre-installed.
There is one .apk floating around but it's for Allshare playER not Allshare Play, which is what i need.

Afaik, allshare play is an app developed by and cooked in Samsung's ROMs. Vanilla Android doesn't come with it. There are plenty of alternatives in the play store though.

I haven't found an alternative that will let me stream or sync media between devices and allow me on phone 1 to stream something from the pc to phone 2.
But will be glad if there is something like that.
I'm no expert on this, but if an app sets your gnex up as an UPnP media server you're done right? Except maybe for the stream from device 1 via pc to device 2 feature. Tried BubbleUPnP?

No idea, don't even know what are those abbreviatures
will look it up though
but the last feature is critical for me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp
Looks amazing, thank you!
But none of these lets a user without any hassle watch movies/pictures/stream music from f.ex my home pc when I am at work,
Allshare play (http://www.allshareplay.com) lets med do excactely that.
Install Allshare on computer, tell it what folders to share and when I am traveling I click allshare and it just works.
I use bubbleupnp at home, but Allshare is so easy.

If your note is rooted, will the...

Google play store allow the rooted user to watch rented movies on the google video app? If no, then what are some possible workarounds to this issue, ie alternate video apps. I havent gotten a note 2 yet but in the htc thunderbolt forums there is a script that one can use to be able to watch google play movies in the google video app. Is there such a script for his device?

Being rooted shouldn't affect any of Google services. Only services that (potentionally) might be affected by rooting your phone is Samsung services (in my case, OTA updates, Samsung backup don't work). However, others like Samsung apps and Samsung Dive weren't affected. In my opinion, since there are much better alternatives to OTA updates and Samsung backup, I don't see that as a reason not to get the immense benefits from rooting your device.
I ask because on my current device, I'm unable to watch rented movies using the google play video app. I would only be able to watch it via web browser through the online play store. But thanks for your input.

[Q] Uninstalling unwanted applications that come default with tab?

Hy all, I just want to know is there anyway I can uninstall applications in my tab that come default while buying it. Because there are many trash application's which I don't use such as Internet, my files, drop box, play video, etc.. These came by default in my tab when I bought it and I don't need them so that I can free up some memory for other apps and I don't know why there more than one pre installed app in samsung tab such as chrome and internet, music player and play music and also chat on app. If there is any way to uninstall these apps it would be greatly helpful, thank you!!!

The only way to remove them would be to root your tablet. Otherwise you can not remove them.
Once rooted you could use Titanium Backup to remove certain programs or using a root explorer delete apks manually.
