Hello All,
I purchased a Tab 3 7.0 and after applying root and installing titanium back and am wondering which APKs are safe to remove. I've gotten rid of the music player, music hub, the samsung app store, and there video player.
I was hoping we could get a list together to see what other systems apps are safe to remove.
Thanks!
good idea

Good first removals.
One of the greatest advantages of Rooting is getting rid of all of the useless BS.
I use root explorer, go into system/apps and start marking the apk and odx of files I know I don't/won't use. I move them to my sd card in the "bloat" folder a few at a time and have not seen any issues. 340 MB and rising in there now.

bloatware that can be removed YMMV
I've now removed 520MB of junk
hey guys can i use this app called "system app remover" to uninstall those? and or maybe can i delete it directly on /data/app and data/data??
Thanks it works
@vlucchetti
First thanks for that link it was helpful:highfive:
I can confirm that almost everything on the list from the link can be safely removed, mind you not everything on the list was installed
I went from an average of over 25+ things being open in memory to 13+ after that cleansing. :victory:

To see whays running in vackgroung go to app manager in settings and swipe to go to running apps window
The ones running can be seen there
Also the cached apps the app processes tht h been stored in ram for faster multitasking can be found by clicking on cached apps on the top cornee
See the helium script in dev section it is a cwm flashable package to remove bloat
If u wanna find out yourself
Id suggest freezing apps then see if there r any problems then make a backup (if u r still unsure) and safely delete the app. So if u find the need u can just restore it

you can just disable all the apps you want through settings-apps as well mate if you do not use TB. Plus disable all bloatware if you are on a branded phone and i would also say disable google maps, facebook if you do not use and even the email client from HTC. I use gmail app from market hence why i would disable that.
I was thinking of making a thread and giving battery tips on how to save more juice and what apps to remove...maybe i should do that and see if it helps people out.
Any apps that you do not use i would either disable through settings or freeze with TB or unistall them..I could make a list on a thread if you want in the next couple of days

yes please do! would be great.
disabling google maps. i feel it is a big part of the phone to gave google maps available. what other services would be affected by this. i can see the advantage by battery life.

only disable it really if you do not use it. i have disabled it as i barely use it my friend. from what i can see i would even freeze or uninstall friend stream as i do not use that either...there are so many i have not even had a look at...by having TB and if you was to uninstall all the system apps you do not use you are making your own Lite rom by doing so
We could all share what we have disabled and compare results too.

Does your phone need to be rooted? If not then am still lost as I can only see Uninstall on the individual apps? Thanks.

you have to uninstall updates for system apps first then you can disable, note not all system apps can be disabled.
what i did was restart the phone open task man then disabled the ones running at start, just click the name not the X.

if you go into settings-apps-all apps you can disable all the apps you want. of course some system apps you can not, not sure which but you can pretty most of them.
Thanks, done
I love the fact I can make a folder on my apps page and stuff all the bloat into one folder, leaving me with a nearly empty apps page.
I like Polaris office, but as I understand Kingsoft is also really good for office.
Besides that are their any good bloatware apps?

Over haft million android App, depend on what you want & what you need . Android app have both free & pay version , try out if you don't like it's just remove.
For me, I want performance and battery life so I had ram manager to control CPU , titanium backup for backup,restore or freeze app I don't want,root explore for cut/paste into system app,room toolbox for set Dpi,ram....etc ( but those app needs root)
Take your time to play with your toy soon you go to love it's .
Is Wifi calling considered bloatware? That thing is damn amazing.
i cant get mine to work for some reason. I already had T-Mo set up my 911 but still no help, I keep getting REG99 "Unable to Connect"
Instead of putting bloatware in a folder, why not just hide the blotware apps? there's an option in settings to hide apps.

This might be a newb question, but I just wanted to make sure. I see that Titanium Backup has the ability to uninstall system apps, and there are a few in the ROM I'm using that I just don't care to use. The apps are Twitter, Google+, Play Books, Play Music, and Play Movies & TV. These don't seem integral to the system itself so would it be okay if I just uninstall them? Is there a better way besides Titanium Backup to uninstall, and does it leave traces behind? Thanks for the help!
yea it would be okay to uninstall them , it doesn't effect
Remove and fear nothing
Back them up and then delete them, if the deletion of them causes problems then restore them and delete them one by one until you find the one causing the problem and just keep it (sadly), but the applications you listed should not effect the device in any way after uninstalling.

I've always used Titanium Backup to remove bloatware from stock roms on my phones and its been great. Just try and be sure that the apps you uninstall are not sense related, google services, sms, phone, stock browser, etc. etc.
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. ..
Sweet. ...g

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.

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
