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!)

Bloatware Indeed...
Yes my friend, too much bloatware, for sure! Best to be rid of it. Battery life is outstanding on this phone after the strip too...(and maybe prior to it as well, I never checked because I just rooted and stripped the rom straight away.)

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Cool, thanks alot for your info' again
Would those of you who have already deleted all the Samsung sh** mind sharing what all you've deleted with no ill affects? I would love to be able to eliminate everything I didn't choose to install. And are you guys are just freezing or deleting?
Thanks y'all!
I would also like to know this. If we could get a professional who knows what they're doing to direct us? There must be a million threads on freezing apps, but they're all for different devices it seems. I've frozen some stuff but it hasn't appeared to do much and there's so many apps.
System App Remover (root) is excellent for this.
This is excellent free app for debloating. It tells you what can be safely removed and what should be left alone and allows for batch uninstall.

Thanks for replying and the app recommendation, but looking at it, I can see that it's not exactly what I'm looking for. It says Knox is a key system resource so it's basically listening to how samsung flagged its apps "You gotta keep this! You just gotta!". A user made list would be awesome, even if it was just from a very similar tablet. I can't seem to find anything recent and therefore relevant.

Agreed. Yeah, I was hoping one of the people who said they had debloated their tab s would chime in with exactly what they deleted.
List of Disabled Apps
Screw it. I'm gonna post everything I've frozen with no ill effects (so far). I will update when and if the "ah hah!" or "Oh ****, please god no!" moments occur.

That out of the way, feel free to follow along, or tell me how grave an error I've made. At this point I am only freezing apps, not uninstalling them.

*UPDATE 00:03 7/6/2014
Froze the following with no repercussions (yet):
Active applications 1.0.0 (It's important you freeze the one with 2 zeros, as the other will cause the Task Manager to fail. The one you freeze had a green circle with a 3 for an icon)
Bubbles 1.0 (Bubbles? We don't need bubbles...yet...)

Print Spooler 1
ringtonebackup 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7

That's it for now, let me know if a catastrophic failure occurs on your end.*
*UPDATE 11:25 7/7/2014
Froze the following:
Adapt sound 1.0 (From what I understand, this adapts the sound profile to your environment. but I havent found an actual app to use for it, so I disabled it.)
Basic Daydreams 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (Do you let your tablet daydream? Yes? Then don't turn this off I guess. I work my tablet to the bone and don't tolerate daydreaming)
Camera Test 1.0
com.android.sharedstoragebackup 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (No idea what this does)
com.samsung.adround.app.watchmanagerstub 14.04.14 (Has to do with Galaxy Gear?)
com.samsung.android.sdk.spenv10 3.0.101 (Looks like an app for the S pen, which none of us have...)
com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService 1.0 (READ THIS!!! Disabling this app will net you HUGE performance benefits. However, you will lose split screen functionality. I think these tablets are too small for split screen, but you might use it. Do as you will.)
com.sec.android.app.minimode.res 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (???)
ELM Agent 14132
Enterprise Sim Pin Service 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
Enterprise VPN Services 1.3 (Don't disable if you use VPN?)
Exchange services 4.4.2.0100
Filter Installer 1.0 (From what I understand, The Filter applications are extraneous as Google Play now performs the same functions.)
Filter Manager 1.0
FilterProvider 1.0
PickupTutorial 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
VpnDialogs 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (Might be important for VPN.)
Weather 140603.02 (Self explanatory.)
You stand to gain the most by disabling the FlashBarService and therefore losing split screen. Update me with any issues.*
*UPDATE 7/24/2014
This latest update brings with it an issue (maybe it was like that before this update? Just noticed it.) The stock regular internet browser has stopped working. I could give less than a flying f**k, but you might enjoy using in.
Froze the following:
Backup 3.6.2
com.android.backupconfirm 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
Context Service 2.0.3 (Will cause the stock browser to FC)
DeviceTest 1.0
Gallery 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (This will cause controversy, but it was set to run all the time. I tried figuring out how to disable it from automatically running to no avail. I actually re-enabled Google+ to get the Photos app back, because it doesn't run constantly. Will look for a better alternative later.)
SmartcardManager 1.7
SmartcardService 3.1.0
Unified Daemon 140423.01 (Disables the location functionality of the stock Weather app)
Re-enabled:
Google+ 4.4.3.69327528 (See above for explanation.)
That's it for now. My tablet is really flying. Even the notification bar does not cause a stutter anymore, and chrome seems faster yet. Really starting to love this tablet *
EDIT 09/16/2015: Thanks to @stwum for confirming Context Service 2.0.3 is the cause of FC for the stock browser, and @stwum and @samisama both for the weather info on Unified Daemon 140423.01.
I can only personally confirm the settings for the KitKat version of the software (I no longer own this tablet), Anyone who has LP on theirs is welcome to take this list and give it an overhaul if they feel up to it. Thanks all.
Anything in this list that might not make sense to you, or if you use that app, then obviously don't freeze it. Let me know if you have anything to add or inform me of what I really should turn back on.

Freezing removes them from active RAM the same way deleting does(so you get all performance and battery benefits) . Deleting will free up storage space as freezing does not. Only benefit is more storage space it would seem. A good reason though. However, don't delete anything til you're sure you don't need it.

It seems faster, but I don't think TouchWiz will ever be completely "smooth".
More RAM available, although not as much as I expected. Will have to keep at it.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the replies! Gonna start freezing away.
Just be careful removing system apps if you plan to ever updates via ota. I know most won't care to but it is worth stating.

Good point. I am not going to remove anything so I can still get OTA updates if a rom doesn't come in the foreseeable future. I did just buy a 32 Gb card so I have more storage. I also removed the restrictions on it with SDfix, so I should be set for storage.

You can still update using Odin, no need for ota.
I updated the list a couple times. My tablet is feeling a lot smoother. Anyone else have anything to report?

What was your feeling about the performance of your S on a scale up to 10 before doing anything?
I ask because I have only made some changes in developer options which I enabled. Have not changed the browser or TZ interface and even before aforementioned adjustments I would give it 8.5 so not planning on doing anything else. I do my share on a tablet, I do not consider a power user by any stretch.

I bought the Tab S for the screen. Plain and simple. Before it, I used the LG G Pad Google Play Edition, so my perspective largely comes from that. I loved the performance of the G pad, it was really really smooth, without hiccups. The screen was a nightmare though. It was very bland looking and would randomly dim itself because it overheated incredibly fast. On top of that there were bands on the left and right side that were distracting (light bleed). I loved it at first but The Tab S was just so much better looking I went for it. Everything the G pad had going for it was in the performance. I would rate that tab a 9.5 in performance, with the ever so rare stutter in chrome and the like.
The Tab S, stock, I would rate about a 7 on performance. Sure things move along, but it doesn't ever feel smooth. Chrome was a nightmare before I followed the suggestion in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ing-choppy-t2800918/post53887711#post53887711
Even so, Chrome is still not as smooth as it was on my other tablet, and lag is still present. Once you've experienced a pure android environment, it's hard to go back. After disabling a bunch of stuff, particularly the FlashBarService, I would rate it about 8 - 8.5. It's still not silky smooth like my other tablet, but it's significantly better. Suffice to say the second a minimalistic ROM is released for this thing, I'm gonna be all over it. Samsung thinks it need all these special features to stand out, but most of the time they just slow their tablets down. Their hardware is good, but their software seems to forever be bloated and badly optimized.
Hi !
Thanks for sharing that list !!!

In an effort to learn how to correctly use Aroma, I decided to write a tool that will assist you in removing the suffocating amount of bloatware my beloved Note 3 is cursed with. It is nothing more than an Aroma script which will let you select what apps to remove, and then it removes them.
FEATURES
Removes 200+ apps considered to be bloatware.
Works with all variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900T, SM-N9005, etc.)
Can apply the screen rotation fix, if you uninstall Samsung Hub.
Clear Dalvik cache.
...And more!
REQUIREMENTS
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (duh?!?!)
Root
TWRP, CWM, or PhilZ Custom CWM installed.
A burning desire to strike down bloatware with the force of a thousand suns! Optional, but highly recommended!
NOTES
I strongly recommend you do a full backup before using this script.
After removing bloatware, clearing Dalvik cache would be a good idea, so they can be rebuilt at boot.
My device is a SM-N900T (T-Mobile SGN3), so obviously I can't determine what other apps another carrier has added. If you would like to list their names and filenames (including path), along with the carrier and I'd be happy to add them to the list. I have downloaded stock images from all of the different variants of the SGN3 and will determine what other apps are installed.
If I missed any apps that you would consider bloatware please let me know, and I'll add them as well!

Nice work, thanks. That said, I use Titanium to freeze things first, to see if any problems crop up or if I unexpectedly miss something.
Apps on the bloat list that I like:
- RakeIn: used by one of the pop-up pen functions. Maybe the screen capture/edit.
- Voice Recorder: a nice app
- S Health: nicely done and useful
- Samsung keyboard: one of the best
- Samsung video: solid, use it a lot (have to keep "Video Player" as well)
- T-Mobile My Account: useful for me anyway, with 5 lines
- S Note: I use this a lot. What is the pen really otherwise good for?

The list I've compiled are the apps that I personally remove as being bloat. You can select which apps to remove before beginning the removal process. That way you only remove the apps you want.
Good to have tool. It definitely save time, comparing to manually doing it with TB.
Thx.
I was thinking of going back to TW (I'm using SlimKat right now) but I was dreading having to deal with all the bloat. You just made up my mind.
Now do I want to go with stock TW or a ROM... hmm...

That was the very reason I wrote this script. While I love Samsung's phones, they load them up with far too much bloat, so I figured I'd try to help out!
downloading now. lovely. will be trying on my s5 port also. does it have assert script?
"Can apply the screen rotation fix, if you uninstall Samsung Hub." I always wondered what's Samsung Hub has to do with screen rotation? Good job.

it removes a lib when uninstalled via Titanium Backup required for rotation to occur.

If you're curious it removes /system/lib/libgnustl_shared.so, which evidently breaks screen rotation.

Samsung Hub shares a lib file with the system. When you uninstall Samsung Hub, it uninstalls this shared lib file. That lib file is also responsible for screen rotation

Well said!
I've found a couple of additional apps that I neglected to add, so I'll do that and drop version 1.1 sometime later today. Also I'm going to post threads on the different variants of the SGN3 to get the carrier-specific apps added to this besides just T-Mo. If you know of any, let me know. I think I'll start by downloading ROMs from those various variants.
EDIT
I'm going to dig a little deeper and see if I can find all of the files associated with an app, so there aren't any orphaned files after removal. Also going to add Google Apps for those that prefer their Android Google-less.
Okay, as promised (though a day late, oops!) here is version 1.1. I have added 3 more apps, and fixed a numbering error in updater-script. You can grab it HERE!
Enjoy!
For the next version I am rewriting this to have pages of apps instead of one long list, to keep things more organized. I have downloaded ROMs from all of the different variants to find carrier apps that can be removed.
I hope to release version 2.0 sometime this week.
Thank you just what Ive been looking for going to give it a try

I tried both V1.0 and V1.1. There is some scrolling problem, once you're close to bottom half. It can be difficult to select from the list, when it auto scroll all the way to bottom or top.
Great addition to my note 3. It has definitely helped me by saving a lot of manual time on titanium backup!

I think it has to do with one or two things (possibly both). The first being Aroma's screen calibration, and the other being the sheer number of apps in the list. That is part of the reason I am splitting them up. So far I have 3 pages for "stock" apps, one for each carrier variant (5, I believe), and then one for google apps.
