Has anybody tried uninstalling some of the stock apps with either TB or root explorer? Wondering how much of the junk apps is okay to remove.
I removed everything that started with Samsung minus the keyboard. And everyrhing that started with at&t. Along with apps I knew I wouldnt use ever

Can the all share app and service be removed? Also did you removed the att locker, navigator and the att ready 2 go apps?

There's an option in setting / applications / running to effectively freeze apps without rooting. I did it to nearly all the bloatware. I don't see them in the nebu now.

You need some of the samsung stuff because of the heavy customizations to the phone and s-pen support. I froze, using titanium backup pro, most of the at&t stuff, I think I only left the smart wifi thing, automatically connecting to at&t and well known popular hot spots sounded ok to me. I think i froze the kies stuff. But left most of the Samsung stuff.
I would love to see a list of what's safe to freeze and why.

Noob here and I too froze all the ATT stuff like ekerbuddyeker said using the aplication mngr., Now my question is does this help with them running in the backround i.e. battery life?? This is my first Android device came from ios.
When you disable them and delete their cache, it makes them not a running process whatsoever. Unfortunately, none of the stock apps run in the background, so you will see no noticable difference by disabling them (minus the fact everything looks cleaner)
I removed all the AT&T apps. Don't notice any difference in performance, but I do like not having those apps around. Didn't mess with the Samsung apps yet as this is my first Samsung phone and wasn't sure what all the S pen uses.

Rooting an android is almost second nature to me? I've only had HTC phones which i always rooted, but the SGN2 is such a great phone right out of the box, that i have yet to find a reason to root it yet. What was everyone's motivation to root? In our current development stage, what will be my benefit in rooting? All opinions welcome, and thanks
5 words: every app on multi window
with root you can get the multi window feature to have every app... just look at this image I took

THIS.
Plus JellyBomb fixed one of my biggest problems with the Note II, and that was that none of the Quick Settings in the Notifications dropdown were useful for me. With Jellybomb, I can put more useful settings in the Notifications dropdown, and remove the ones I don't find useful.
I also have a custom boot animation. I didn't like the stock Sprint one.
There's also Titanium, which allows me to backup all my applications to my SD card in case I need to reformat my phone, make sure I have a backup of an app that might get pulled from the Play Store, or just back up the app for whatever reason.

Root phone, then uninstall using Titanium Backup.
Or you can use sdx system file remover

Also System Tuner. Titanium is great but back on the evo lte I had a few things that were part of Sense that Titanium couldn't remove but System Tuner Pro did. Then again Titanium is still improving all the time so who knows it might handle those things now.
It wasn't a permission thing it was like a compatibility thing I think. In the list of apps there was a couple that had a different color and you couldn't click on them or do anything to them. They were related to htc sense social integration, some kind of background service or db for friend flow (widget)/ facebook / twitter. System tuner pro plucked 'em right out just like any other app.

Does System Tuner Pro let you remove the nanny software that is integrated into the stock-ish TWiz ROMs? There's some "parental" spyware that really should be bizzaned, that you cannot remove through TiBackup.

That's "smart device manager" yes you can remove it, but I'm pretty sure titanium can handle that one ok too. I know system tuner does since I always delete that too.

Sorry if this is posted somewhere, but I have read and searched and wasn't able to find anything.
I have an SGH-I317 running stock 4.1.2 rooted and would like to know if there is a list of which stock apps can be safely disabled without causing problems with other apps.
This is my first android device as I have been an iPhone user since the very first one launched up until 2 months ago I made the switch. I'm very happy with the phone, I just would like to know which factory installed apps can be disabled without causing problems with other apps.
Any info is greatly appreciated!

No list to my knowledge. ..
Use titanium backup pro and freeze the apps you wish to remove one by one and test.
Most ATT apps can be dumped without issues, and freezing them is safe in case you need them.
You need root of course. ..g
Is there a difference between freezing them and disabling them?
I know disabling them 'hides' them from the app drawer. Does freezing them do the same?

Freezing makes it so that the android system cant see it i believe disabling just makes it stop running and removes the icon
I found this after some more searching, it is for the s2 / s3 but is a pretty good to go on list for other samsung devices as well.

I trust you are now using titanium backup ??
It really is a great application. ..g
I haven't went with titanium pro yet.
It's on my wish list of apps to buy.
I just went with disabling the at&t apps for now. I've tried a few custom ROMs which had the bloatware removed but there was always something missing that I liked from the stock ROM. (I don't mind some of the Samsung apps)
Plus being new to android I'm still learning what it does and how it does it so I'm nervous to use custom ROMs until I'm more comfortable with what's going on with my device. It's a bit of a shock to the system going from iOS for 6 yrs to android.
Overall I'm happy with the switch so far.

I am still stock... unrooted. Hide the bloats and you won'y really feel the 'pain' too much until you are more confident of what you are doing. I experience no lag with all my bloats hidden. I didn't even bother to disable them. Phone is still smooth as butter.

Same. Stock and not rooted. The bloat isn't insane on the Note2 so I think I'll stay stock as long as possible.

But hiding the bloats doesn't keep them from running in the background right?

Disabling apps does in fact keep them from running.

I know disabling them does. Someone had mentioned hiding them so I was asking if hiding them prevents them from running in the background. I'm pretty sure it doesn't but wasn't positive.
I took the disabling route because it hides the apps as well as completely turning them off.

Hi everyone!

I've stopped this with the Task Manager

You can delete some of them directly from your app drawer. Just open your app drawer hit the plus/minus sign in the top right corner and delete. I froze the rest of mine with titanium.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??

Thanks for the reply.
I did that, but the real reason is the upcoming roms that people will custom and I think they gonna need this info for cleaning/debloating them and stuff.

You won't ruin your phone, you will just have to find the stock ROM (on one of the threads here) and flash it back with LGFlash tool. The obvious ones to remove would be anything AT&T Related using Root Uninstaller if rooted. Also any obvious apps that are preinstalled such as Polaris and Kindle can be removed if chosen too. I also removed all Tests (Bluetooth Test, Wifi Test, etc) Its pretty simple to know what to remove and not to.

I've had issues with those apps and I dint know why. Whenever I removed the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi test apps, my phone freezes for 5-10 minutes on boot. Whenever I put them back, its fine again.
Happened on the original firmware and the new one. I've went all the way back to stock too.

Freezing apps with Titanium has worked great for me... for what its worth
So I have my Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014. I have rooted it got rid of bloat ware , even downloaded nova launcher and froze touchwiz home, but I a, still getting annoying lag, I love the tab but it's not running as smooth as I like. When I clear all apps with task manager my ram goes down to just over 1 gb which is great compared to the sometimes over 2gb of ram touchwiz was using sometimes. Should I reboot the system then re root, I heard factory reset has helped a lot of people. Any thoughts?

Personally, I'm not seeing any lag. Out of box I immediately updated to MK1, wiped, rooted, and then immediately downloaded Titanium Backup. I removed the 6+2 knox related apps, disabled a majority of the Samsung bloat, and have been running smooth ever since. I left Touchwiz personally, as I haven't seen the need to use Nova.
Where are you seeing the lag? A wipe usually takes care of the problem however I know its an inconvenient solution,,,, Are you running MK1?
I'm in the UK so it's on j6. Maybe the mk1 takes care of the lag . It's not horrendous, just on play Store and sometimes it really slows down on moving screen etc
