EG22 Save to Remove Apps - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody have a list of apps that I can remove safely? Aside from the usual bloatware that is, I swear I see more things than usual and I'm testing but I'm hoping someone has a list from one of the roms or something along those lines.

Removable bloat ware ICS

Now that we have achieved root in ICS , shall we start a safelist of stock apps we can remove without ill effect?
feel free to submit your list. crossix you might already have a safe list and would love it here if you see this thread
I just rooted today but am at work so I will edit my post later with my list once I can take a closer look.

Why not just use ICS built in disable app functionality? I have disabled a number of apps and it seems great!

well i always have been more of a fan of using titanium backup to completely get rid of bloat. also i dont believe you can disable a system installed app even with root. titanium can delete anything :-D

I didn't think there was too much bloat on the A100, even with the ICS upgrade, apart from Aupeo, Acer Media and a couple other apps I barely notice them. Nigh on a stock build, thankfully
What apps did you uninstall and how did you get them uninstalled? I just uninstalled several of them with Titanium Backup, but when I rebooted they were still there. Some of them I was not able to uninstall, error message Cannot remove system app. Failed to locate the apk file.
Use Root Explorer and delete the applications contained in the location: /Flexroom.

What can be uninstalled??

Ok, so I had to get a "replacementt device" and now that I am rooted again, I decided to keep the stock ROM, but want to get rid of the crap sys apps that came pre-installed. Is there a list of sys apps that can be safely removed??

I've seen one here before, but that was about a year ago, I don't think I've seen an updated one at all. FYI, don't delete system apps, just use TB to freeze them, that way if you run into problems, you can just unfreeze the app.
what i did on mine before was flashed a stock rom without all the extra crap in it... it worked great...
Google "Evo4g safe apps to remove list", there are lots of them you can remove safely including all sense Widgets and Rosie if you use a 3rd party launcher, many system apps can be entirely removed as well usually if you back em up then freeze them, reboot and everything is OK then you can go ahead and delete them. When I was using sense on my evo I had deleted a ton of things from stock b4 adding my own stuff, basically would strip the entire rom and the build it back to my preference

You could download SOS S and poke around to see which apps are removed. I removed damn near all of them.
Or you could just flash SOS S

Removing Bloatware

What tools are there to remove bloatware?
Calks bare rom converter its in the themes and apps section
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
There is always JRummy's Rom Toolbox Lite !
Or if you are trying to modify a ZIP file, you could always just open it and delete anything you consider "unneeded" yourself, I found I actually learned a fair bit doing it that way.
Another option is that you can use titanium backup to "freeze" the apps.
They are effectively removed, but you can "thaw" them back to normal in the event that it messes something up.
I think you need the paid version of TB to do that though, but I like doing that before removing the apps.
I have used noth the ROM Toolbox and Titanium backup. I prefer titanium because you dont fullyt remove it, but by freezing it you take it out of the picture without having to worry about seriously deleting something you shouldnt have.
Use titanium backup free to uninstall system apks.

Bloatware List?
Anyone know of a list anywhere that shows what software/processes are installed which could be frozen safely?

There are a couple of lists floating around but I haven't seen them in some time and some of them are either very outdated or for a different model phone (a lot of apps are still the same however).
Use the search at the very top of every XDA screen to search all the XDA forums. Learning to search is half the battle, keep search queries simple at first. Most questions can be answered by using the search tools here.

+1 to using Titanium or something similar to freeze apps.
First of all, always backup your phone prior to going on a binge removing or freezing apps. Freezing is a much better alternative than deleting/removing apps because once they're gone, some of them may be very difficult to get back.

What I did was made a list from different developers rom. Like naoekrom beta 2.1 he list all the bloatware he took out his rom in his second post. Whenever I go to a different rom I grab my list... Go to root explorer app and under system/app delete those on my list...

[WIP]Apps Safe to Remove From Latest OTA GB27, GB28, GC01

Since Samsung released the latest OTA builds, there have been many questions regarding what apps are safe to remove. There has not been an update to the "Safe to Remove" list that I have seen for JB builds. Moderators, if I have missed something, my apologies, and please feel free to kill this thread. This is a work in progress, since what I have started with is a list of those that I removed for the GC01 debloat/deodex ROM I built. Please feel free to let me know of others that can be added, and I will update the OP, hence the WIP Thanks to g_ding84 for the suggestion.
Again, this is a work in progress...list ones that have been removed that are not on this list either by PM or on here, and I will gladly list them. Please ensure that it has been tested with NO issues. Thanks!

Can you add another list in OP about apps that can be replaced in lieu of smaller/faster/better apps?

I have not replaced the apps listed with smaller, faster, better, apps, so it would be reckless of me to post something I do not know works or can verify. If you have a question about a specific app, please let me know, and I can try to help. Thanks.

There's definitely more that can be removed, I'll have to look at the stock ROM. Is this a list of things SAFE to remove (as in if you want to remove it for say, like mentioned above, a different music player app)? I know I removed at least 40 things the last time I flashed stock... and there are plenty more that CAN be removed. Do you get what I'm asking?

I certainly do, and yes, this is the list of things that I(or any contributor) has removed for any reason(debloat, replace, etc), and experienced no issues as a result. As the OP mentioned the latest jb build Sammy put out came with a lot of stuff, and I've seen many questions regarding what is safe to remove. The goal ultimately, is to compile a list do that should someone want, they could strip a stock completely bare and still have a functioning ROM, should they choose. Make sense? Any input from you or anyone else would be welcomed, as always, and much appreciated. :thumbup::beer:
Sent from my SPH-D710BST using xda premium
Yep, just making sure that was the goal.
I'm going to put Connections Optimizer and Voice Talk on here again... because I hate them. MusicPlayer.apk isn't on there but it's the best music player ever in my opinion.
Edit: Music2 is on there... why is mine MusicPlayer?

Music2 is the love that comes with all that Google crap, movies, books, magazines, etc...music player is the actual player , and yes, optimizer is so bad! Voice talk as in the driving mode and such? Svoice I think some call it?

some of these are obviously easy to remove using titanium backup or gemini. But if it is not listed there, how can the listed apps be removed?
I apologize for what may seem like a dumb question.

By clicking the post button and adding what you removed. Just make sure to be careful on what you remove.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
What. I meant was.... Will every installed app appear in titanium backup or gemini? Prob so. If they dont appear in either of those, how do you remove an app? Go to system/app and delete the apk? Prob not that simple.
I am running blu kubean and i don't see some of the apps listed in OP when looking in titanium backup pro. I assume ruj cleaned them out.

You would probably be assuming correctly. Did you check the Kuban Updater for any removed apps you want but don't have? He usually has them there. Also, the apps downloaded to your phone will appear on TB, and you can delete them there. If not there, get a root explorer(I use es file explorer personally), go to system/app, long press the app you want to delete, and done. Be careful you know what you're deleting before you do so however. But of course, that's the reason for this thread, and if it's not on the list yet, just ask! Good luck, have fun
