I was looking for an auto-debloat script for the S4. I have manually removed a good tonnage of crap and then I came across these two threads:
Auto-Debloat S4 Flashable Zip and TrulyClean, both of which are for the ATT S4 variants.
I modified the the TrulyClean script to suit my preferences and debloated without a hitch. As I look through TitaniumBackup, there is still a lot of bloatware installed and some of them are hard to judge if they are safe to remove or not.
Are there any thorough SGH-M919 scripts/flashable files for debloating or a list of files safe to remove?
Forgive me if this has already been addressed. Thanks.
EDIT: I am already aware of this list as well.
There is an app on the play store called nobloat as well

I've already used No Bloat and Titanium Backup and removed a lot of stuff manually. I guess I should refine my question.
Are there any scripts or programs that can automate the removal of "unnecessary" files (i.e., bloatware, "useless" services, etc) for the T-Mobile M919? Clearly your definition and my definition of useless will be different, but I just want to see something where someone went through processes or services that are not really useful on a daily basis?
For example, a script that removes all the T-Mobile added crapware, removes certain 3rd party services (HP Print Svcs, Epson Print Svcs, etc), etc. I've used the ATT ones but they are still lackluster.
Any script specifically for the Tmobile variant?
Bump.
Double check the truly clean thread. I think if you updated an app the update remains and has to be removed manually. Other than that....not sure. Trulyclean was enough for me.

So I've seen various threads on people who have successfully removed a ton of bloatware from their phone thus increasing performance but not harming anything.
Does anyone have a list of safe items to uninstall/disable from startup that will increase performance while not affecting the phones stability/important functions?
Thanks.
Anyone have a list? Or a link to one.

There was a list in one of the threads. You can just google "safe list of apps to remove galaxy s3". Another way though, it to look at the tmobile debloated uvalem rom thread. It has a screenshot with a fully debloated tmobile S3, which only has like 5 apps left. That will give you a solid starting point.

I believe the safe app list for removal is a Google doc listed under a specific carrier. I think it was sprint but not too sure.

This isn't specific to T-mo but it has most of the stuff you can remove. You can remove everything from t-mo except for the t-mo tether app with Titanium backup.
http://goo.gl/yWDoI
if your on stock and not rooted you can disable apps you don't use. just go to application manager, all and disable the app..
This is for a rooted T-mobile:

Has anyone removed all three allshare apps and the samsung account back up, cloud data, and cloud synca, apps safely?
I know this isn't really a list of apps to uninstall, but here is screen shots of all the apps I have installed right now AFTER I got done removing all the ones I didn't want. none of the apps or hidden or disabled. So I guess you can compare and decide for your self what apps to remove.
I hope this helps at least a little sense the link for this thread pops up a lot when searching for this.
i like the factory Samsung roms after all the bloat has been removed.
but i like the aokp roms because i don't need the Google apps installed. (even more bloat IMHO)
is it possible to remove goggle apps from the Samsung base and still keep stability??
Depends on the app. If you mean removing the entire framework i would not suggest it. But if you just mean google books and stuff like that then you can just freeze it with TiBU
I would like to remove as much as possible. Google play Google services Google sync Google maps Google everything etc.
If I could find a comprehensive list that explained what every Google app was in the rom I would start freezing things and see what happens. But with out that list I'll have force closes everywhere and I'll never be sure what may be causing it.
Can be done....
Look on the CM website and search for "barebones" lists of application removal..
Basically CM did the leg work for us in determining to what level a device can be stripped and still function...
A few years ago I was running CM builds on the Aria at just over 56 meg.. and they were fast...
I used winrar to drop out the APKs as the rom didn't need resigning after the removal...but with our current recoveries and the ability to ignore signature verification at the recovery level anyway...I'm sure several other methods will work...
I briefly browsed through the barebones lists before typing this...and noticed that several areas are under construction...but lists do exist to remove complete packages up to the 10.1 level...
Just keep a good nandroid backup handy...
Happy application dumping....g

It'll work. ..and it's a lot of fun seeing the bloat go away. .
Those stripped roms fly. .
And with so little on the device. ..it's likely you'll only have 1 application screen. ..

I'm currently trying to remove useless junk from my note and improve battery life. I found debloat scripts for AT&T and International Note 3 but could find any for T-mobile Note 3
Since debloater scrpit is not available for T-mobile Note 3 does anyone know safe to remove bloatware list on KitKat?
Thanks in advance!

If you use the app 'Clean Master' it will give you a list of all of the pre-installed or 'bloatware' apps on your phone, and then a recommendation of whether to keep it installed or if it's okay to delete. I found that app to be the most effective for what you're trying to do.

if you type clean master in the play store it should be the first app to show up, the Icon is a picture of like a broom with a blue handle. It ranks 4.7 with over a million downloads.
Ok cool I will try it out.
"★ App Management - Move apps to an SD card, remove pre-installed apps and backup .apk files."
Here is the link Clean Master by KS Mobile
Found this PDF. It's for SGS-4, but the files are almost identical.
http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...pplication-database-gggu-all-applications.pdf
I would go with uninstall master unistaller it will convert the bloat ware apps to user apps for easy removal and does great job as free app.
Here is the link also read the reviews

Thanks!
Thanks for all of yours replies guys! :good::good::good:
Thought this may be useful for everyone to have as the device does sadly have a tendency to be a bit laggy.
Have followed a few guides and got some great info from XDA so trying to give a little back if I can
From what I have done I have found no ill effects that I have noticed so far, all fairly obvious choices so early on, but will get braver as I get more used to the handset and I'm sure others have been more adventurous than me and can help bulk the list up a bit and we can do away with a whole bunch of bloat to get a smoother ride from out G3. Some of these I froze as I prefer other 3rd party apps.
Frozen/Removed
Cell Broadcast
E-Mail
Documents
File Manager
Internet/Stock Browser
LG Health
LG Search Widget Provider
LG Setup Wizard
McAfee Security
Messaging (stock)
Music
Video
Video Trim
Weather
Weather Theme
Weather Platform
If you have any other suggestions please post and and I'll add updates to Post 1 for easy reference :highfive:
Hope this helps some fellow G3 users

I think you should do a different list for the Google apps, the main attention people will give this thread is to find out what LG apps they can freeze and remove, most people will not be interesting in removing the Google apps from their devices.

Understood, you are most likely correct. Google Apps removed from list
If possible, can you post the real app name (the apk name in /system/app or /system/app-priv) ?
Thanks
Get my G3 later today. Thanks for the list! I'm completely new to Android, so how do I remove bloat ware?

Is freezing them through TB essentially a better version of hibernating them through Greenify?

They do different things. Freezing them is like uninstalling them - they are gone and won't work at all but can be retrieved by unfreezing. Greenifying them just hibernates them but they work as normal.

Could we have a non-root list, and also a description of what gets disabled/broken for each one. E.g. what does Cell Broadcast do? (I've googled, I 'm now aware, not relevant currently in the UK).
ActionManager service? Board Content Provider?

I've noticed that the system doesn't allow you to disable everything if you're not rooted so maybe anything you are allowed to disable is safe to disable.

And how is everything working out after having disabled all those 3 weeks ago? Any anomalies or bad experiences? So far your screenshots give the best list of the removable apps (I'm completely new to LG so I don't know about their stock stuff), and I'd love to remove them but I'm afraid to experiment without a fully working recovery to restore nandroid.

Correct. I have mine frozen to avoid receiving update notifications. Also this is good until you find out if the new update is rootable. If its not then its good to stick with the current software.

My list is almost this one of yours. Had to unfreeze some of those because it made the home screen very lagged.
Everything Google uninstalled or frozen for over 2 weeks. No problems or complaints.
thanks the development has really taken off for this great device
So I froze most of these. Will it free up memory or do I have to delete them? Kinda scared to delete them. I have nandroid backup, just hate to possibly have to restore when the phone is running good.
Let me start by being explicitly clear that I am NOT the developer, all credit should go to @blaz1nr who has created a script to remove bloatware from our devices, Lollipop builds. We are looking to identify the Sprint specific apps for deletion. Unfortunately I have already deleted most if not all the Sprint apps as I don't use them, but I am trying to help out with a comprehensive list. I am sure that I have missed some, can you remind me. Here is what I recall off hand:
Connections Optimizer
Connections Optimizer Updater
Sprint ID
Sprint Zone
Those are all the ones that I can recall. There is a much longer list of general bloatware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pt-galaxy-cleaner-lollipop-debloater-t3156007
Please let me know what I have missed.

Flashfire seems to work as well.
Ok so far every stock rom I'm getting does not have most of the listed apps. I'm going to look around some more to find what I need. While I'm doing that. If someone could look in the system and give me the folder paths,that would be helpful. Folder path would be something like (system/app/ConnectionOptimizer or what ever is needing to be removed.
