hi guys..
just found today that if we go in Apps - All Apps - App Info, for some of the Samsung app, we see two buttons at the top, Force Close and Disable.
As I said, the Disable button shows up only on certain Samsung apps, for ex All Share Play has this, but not All Share Cast, etc.
My question now is..what does this disable function do? is it the same as freezing apps from TiBu? why is this only on selective apps?
Also, I disabled the following apps: Allshare Play, ChatOn, Exchange Services, Game Hub, Learning Hub, Readers Hub, Readers Hub Store! I know i dont use any of these ever, but can this in any way affect the normal functioning of the fone? I dont think any of the above are android critical apps..but jst want an opinion.
Thanks

I fyou are are rooted you can delete them permanently with ROMCleaner from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1937955.
Make a nandroid backup first in case you might want them back. This is the best way to get rid of bloatware
I've done more or less the same stuff. No problems so far. If something goes wrong, remember what you have disabled. A mail function not working? Enable a disabled mail-related app and try again... Nothing worse than that happened when I disabled lots of stuff on my last phone (SGS2). No issues so far on Note 2.
Disabled apps is similar to saying "not loaded apps" or "inaccessible apps". I never dealt with freezing apps, but after a short look it seems like it can be like this: I think freezing apps is to basically turn of their normal behavior (they can not give notifications or anything like that during frozen status). It can still run but not perform it's normal functions.
The ones that can not be disabled can often be more critical to various other apps on the phone. If the phone is rooted there are usually more possibilities though.
Some built-in apps that has been upgraded may need to have the upgrade uninstalled before being able to disable it.
I have currently these disabled: Allshare Play, Bubbles, ChatOn, Deep sea, Dual clock, Exchange Services, Face Unlock, Favorite Contacts, Gallery (using QuickPic), Game Hub, Learning Hub, Luminus dots, Messaging (using Go SMS), Phase Beam, Photo Wall, Readers Hub, Readers Hub Store, Ripple Wall, S Suggest, S Voice, TalkBack, Windy Weather, Yahoo! (both).
Not all of those actually does any good to disable really... I just get them away from my sight So far no issues.

great..thx for the details..didnt know this disable thing existed in older devices too.
Also, I noticed while disabling most of them, the "Force Close" button was also enabled, but again only for some. Does that somehow suggest that these apps stayed in the memory all/most of the time. Maybe some affect on battery by disabling them..! :highfive:
Sorry to bring up an older thread, but I couldn't find any other relevant thread about bloatware on the Note 2 [maybe my search keywords weren't correct ] But I was curious to what other apps or services are safe for us to disable/remove (without rooting the device)? My note 2 is from AT&T and from what I read and see, it appears to have a lot of bloatware. If anyone could direct me to a list of apps thats safe to remove, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks in advance!
There's a disable "Crap" button in settings.

There's a dedicated thread for apps safe to remove:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910885
When testing what is / isn't safe to remove - rather than deleting something just rename it in Root Explorer... eg if I wanted to delete Flipboard.apk I would change it to Flipboard.apk.bak first. Then if it screws the phone up you just change the name back, reboot and it will be back to normal. If there are no issues, then go back and fully delete it.
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 for all of yours replies guys! :good::good::good:
So now that I've rooted my Tab 8.4... Which apps (particularly Samsung Apps) are safe to delete/freeze using Titanium? It's been a long time since I've had a samsung device, so idk what's what. So far the only Sammy apps that i've found to be useful are Watch On and the Multi Window feature...
Any ideas?

I searched some similar device forums for apps to delete. I froze them for a few days first though. I know the knox ones are ok to delete. Any samsung app is good as well. I cleared about 400 mb this way. Look in 12.2 Note Pro forums as well as the 10.1 2014 forums.

I rooted my 10.1 a couple of days ago and used this guide to remove apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514703&page=14
I did pretty much all on that list and had no issues so far.
probably still some more that could be deleted...
forgive my ignorance here. I'm new to all of this.
My 2014 10.1 was giving me all kinds of issues, but mostly, battery problems.
I decided to root the device, and did so successfully, checking to make sure. It is.
But now, I'd like to remove bloatware and Samsung apps that I feel might be causing the issue. How do I go about doing this?
Cannot find, searching the web, what needs to be done now. Thanks for the help.,

Your safest and best bet is to install Titanium Backup and FREEZE the bloatware. I'm not recommend to uninstall or delete system apps. After you freeze, you won't see them in your app draw, and they don't take up space at all. If by accident to freeze one of the critical app which may cause problem but you could easily un freeze and back to business.
Flash a custom recovery, twerp 2.6.x.x, and flash a new rom.

Don't uninstall anything, freeze with Titanium Backup but ultimately install xposed and greenify all unnecessary apps, aside from a handful, all my apps are greenified. I don't greenify system apps but you may some select few. Battery performance is far superior this way.

Ok, i'm a total noob and i admit it ...rooted my Note 2014 successfully, but like the OP i really don't know what to freeze...
1. If i freeze Samsung Apps (and widget), Samsung Hub (+updater) will the other samsung individual apps still update themselves? I'm interested mainly in updating Sketchbook for Galaxy (the one the tablet came with) - i asked in another thread and no answer
2. what is "greenify" ? (same as "freeze"?)
Thank you
Mike

Freeze is the same as uninstalled, frozen apps do not run. It's safer than removing because it's still on your device and you can unfreeze anytime.
Greenify is a module for xposed. It stops apps from running in background. Greenified apps are available in your app list, run them as usual. But when they are not used for some time, greenify closes them. In your example you'd like to greenify Samsung Apps, not freeze, so you can run it regularly to check for updates.

Put a sticker on it "Warranty void after 10 minutes", put it in a picture frame and hang it on the wall.
Is there a list of all the Samsung apps/services, preferably with descriptions of what they're for, that can be disabled (via ADB , Package Disabler, etc) on the Note 10+? This is my first Samsung device since the S4, and I feel like there's so much bloat.
Thanks!

This might be a dumb question, but since we have 12gb of RAM does this really matter anymore?

Of course it does for battery ussage, since any active program in RAM can wake up at any time for any reason. I get offers, msgs etc from programs I haven't used for days, so they run in background. As far as the list goes, that is not as easy as it sounds: I don't use Facebook, Bixby, Tweeter etc. so I disable them first, people who use those programs on the daily basis would call me heretic and then there is bloatware specific to specific carriers or regions. BTW I have not used my phone today at all, except short phone call and quick look at map and my phone is using 6GB of RAM, if I load couple big games, few websites and my RAM would be full and swapping into storage. Like money, Gigabyte is not what it used be
XDA-Developers pages provide a plethora of useful information about that too:
e.g.

Yeah, I second this request. It would be nice to have a list of specific bloat to remove from note 10 plus, specifically for using the ccswe app.
anyone who has used that app specifically if you have a list of the apps you disabled I'd love a list or suggestions
