Just getting the word out to everyone. This works without root and makes it super easy for you to remove any Bloatware you would like and fully control it.

Your welcome.
Already discussed in a previous thread. It only allows blocking the Apps. Absolute removal of Apps require Root.

That's a big deal to a lot of people though. For a lot of people who do not have root and are on KitKat, they can completely block packages on their phone that they otherwise could not. Sure, they allow you to block / disable certain ones on the phone itself, but not anything. This allows them to block any package, Knox included. And sure they could download a script, modify it for their purposes and create another script to unblock and so on and so on. But this maintains nothing and interacts with their device directly. Nothing to maintain and nothing to edit, etc. etc..
Anybody got a list of app that's safe to block. Don't want to cause an endless boot.
here's my complete script I have handy, after testing things and trying a few things without success, my phone many times would automatically erase all data and do a factory reset in the end of my failed experiments. Either that or I'd have to resort to that Odin package someone posted on here to flash back to stock. I think I've flashed my phone using that Odin package around 12 times now after downgrading from the forced updated NK3 back to original. I immediately run this script after enabling Developer options and enabling USB Debugging.
Just right click on the script and Run As Administrator on Vista,Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10.
**Make sure to have the 3 required Adb files to run Adb to communicate with device. I attached those 3 main files which you can extract to c:\windows\system32. This way you can run adb commands from any location on the computer since System32 is included in the environment variables for the OS

Jump on the forum thread, I have built in export and import of blocked packages support built in, someone will give you a list.
I Thank you Sir ... that is a nice, clean app that's works well, but I do have one suggestion for an improvement if you are open to it.
I like the fact that it has a filter function, but the filter only works on the name in the apk name, not the package name. It would be really sweet if it would search both areas. :good:

Just got S-Off'd and I'm rooted with Titanium Backup installed. I know that I can use this app to uninstall some of the bloatware that came with the phone, but I was just wondering if anyone has compiled a list of apps that are safe to uninstall as I don't want to mess anything up. If not, then let's compile that list now. Would appreciate any feedback from users. Thanks!

Ah, that'd be an interesting thing to address because tethering is rather important to me. Can I simply choose to uninstall these apps individually via Titanium Backup with the same results as the script?
You should save/freeze, or whatever it is that TB does, and then uninstall. If you have issues, then simply revert. Troubleshooting is far easier that way.

you can also just disable then under Settings > Apps
though for unrooted (like myself) there are some you can't.
perhaps these are ones you shouldn't uninstall?
safest way is to do a batch backup of all system and installed apps, then uninstall via titanium what you think you don't need. If you break something, restore the app.
I haven't looked at the debloated script but most uninstall things I use like nfl app. Usually you can edit the script to your needs before running.
Is there a way to remove Carrier IQ from the G3 yet? I've followed a couple ways to do it yet the detectors still show it as not only present but active.

I am rooted. I've frozen the 3 system management apps and denied them the permissions they need to be able to run but the detectors still say its active. Could the detectors be not working since the phone is so new? I've also frozen LTDDM.apk too .
The detectors probably just search to see if it exists in the phone. So they most likely cannot recognize if it is running or not.

I had Carrier IQ on a TMO Galaxy Light and in addition to freezing the apps with Titanium Backup there are three apk's in System>Priv-App that relate to Carrier IQ - they are:
IQ-tmobile-release-unsigned.signed_TMO.apk
IQToggle.signed_TMO.apk
IQ_OOB_TMO.apk
I renamed them with a .bak extension because I read somewhere that CIQ is still sending information to TMO whether it's frozen or not (and even though T-Mobile claims that they don't use it!
Seems to work because I cannot see them in running apps (using GSAM Pro)

You can opt out of it using the t-mobile app that comes on the phone. Go to the device health and opt to turn it off, then go to advanced tab and shut that off too.

Yes, you can do that, but I'm not sure if that just disables it from sending phone data or stops it from running as well in the background processes.
Some of the CIQ modules are used by TMo for their My Account and other apps on the phone as well, including the device diagnostics reminder, when you call up support, it sends your device info to them on call, etc, unless you uncheck all of those options, not just the CIQ disclaimer and diagnostics.
Those other options are in the TMo My Account app and then you need uncheck all the boxes in its settings for those abilities.
The removal of CIQ takes it away from the phone completely, thus removing the capability of your phone data (including SMS and calls) being sent and the battery and CPU tasking it used.
I actually just found the settings in the My TMobile app. It told me my device was healthy so I was turning off that thing and noticed the more hidden diagnostics option and the other settings.
Back in my OmniRom/Note 2 days, I used delete scripts/zips to automatically clean up after nightly flashes. I created a CIQ_Delete zip using the template from the following thread. Thanks to @RaphaDroid for the template and thanks to @vicvega for the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575966
This zip deletes the following:
"/system/app/LTDDM.apk",
"/system/priv-app/IQ-tmobile-release-unsigned.signed.apk",
"/system/priv-app/IQToggle_v1.1.3.signed.apk",
"/system/priv-app/IQ_OOB_v1.6_forLG.signed.apk",

"/data/data/com.carrieriq.tmobile",
"/data/data/com.carrieriq.tmobile.IQOOB",
"/data/data/com.carrieriq.tmobile.IQToggle"
I ran Voodoo CIQ Detector before and after. After a flash in recovery, the detector comes up clean. Nothing detected or running. A perfect score.
Understand, this should only be used after the phone has been setup!! It's my understanding that if the apks are deleted before hand, the setup wizard gets messed up. Probably because of the diagnostic option during setup. Again, this zip should only be used after a dirty flash or after the initial setup on a fresh install. You may want to back up the apks before deleting just in case you want to do a factory reset instead of a clean flash. That way you can get through the initial setup of the phone.
I take no responsibility if you futz up your phone. I just wanted makes things a bit easier by automating the process. You can also follow vivega's guide (linked above) to manually rid yourselves of this nuisance.
Also note: I used the xposed toggle and one time viper4android zips from that same thread. They both work after dirty flashes. Another time saver.
You can honestly just delete the .apk.

Are you referring to the launcher settings or SuperSU settings there should be an option in SuperSU settings to set the SuperSU icon to invisible.
I just happened to check my system today and had the OTA update from LRX21M to LRX21V waiting. I tried installing it but Recovery stopped halfway through the install with an Error. I got back into Android with a power-cycle, so things are fine, but it's still on 21M.
I'm guessing this was due to having rooted the device. Is there a proper way to remove SuperSU to allow for a system update? I see there are 3 different options for cleaning up; does it particularly matter which one I choose? I could just pick one and try it but I'm kind of curious what the differences are between the options. Anybody know?
Update: I tried the second and third cleanup options (new superuser app and full unroot) and neither got me into a state where the OTA was successful. So I just downloaded the factory image and flashed the system.img from it, then reapplied the original root process.

probably a full unroot and flashing the stock boot.img would fully unroot, I wonder when LRX22C (5.0.1) will hit the nexus player
The root is fundamental in all devices for many things, and thanks to Chainfire and others independent developers we can consider Android a semi-open platform. (semi-open because not all is open source)
We don't want Android like the Apple walled garden, but we are not even against the sale of the software, we just want a common garden in which the user can choose and is not obliged.
For example with the root, it was easier to start this project:
Nexus Player with a Full Version of Android Lollipop https://plus.google.com/103019026671039069038/posts/V5XaLxK3vN8
This is just the base rom with all hardware components working, on this base that is very usable, i want add many other options. like external usb webcam and mic, improving the audio part that have fixed volume and many other things useful for the use in TV.
Nexus Player is not just Android TV, but is the first Nexus device with an intel cpu. Is a milestone in the evolution of Android.
This is just the start and I am very open to sharing and collaboration on this project.
Thanks Chainfire for the root and for your "How-To SU" guidelines.
Out of interest will rooting prevent OTA updates from installing in the future?

I did this, despite the warning it gave me. Now although I still get permission dialogs etc, I can not run the main program to delete apps etc from SU access. Is there anyway to go back to the main screen? I went to the apps sections of the NP and unlike other apps it didnt have an open command.
To get it back do I need to uninstall and then re-CFroot?
Thanks. I should pay better attention to dialog boxes but its not a huge deal.
Hi all,
I hope this is the right to post.
I am at the point of throwing my SM-T800 in the bin. This Samsung bloatware is getting beyond a joke.
I have been toying with the idea of putting a custom ROM on it just so that I can get rid of all this Samsung crap.
Do I need to go that far or can I just put a rootkit on the tablet or maybe there is some other way to achieve my goal.
At the moment I’m just looking for ideas. Anything that could help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Graeme.
I haven't had much of problem with this. One way to get rid of Samsung bloatware, is to go into settings > applications. Go through the list of every app. If you have no use for it, then delete it. If there is no delete option, like with flipboard or "internet", then disable it. This will stop all of its apps services and also will uninstall all of this apps' updates from the storage. Of course, the tablet will not become exactly "fast" after this because Exynos 5 Octa 5420 was a modest SoC, specially when coupled with the QHD screen. However, freeing up some space will be appreciated on the 16GB storage models.
PS: if there is no delete or disable option, click on the storage and at least delete cache and data. At least this will free some storage.

Hi Akopps
I think I may have not made my goal clear.
My aim is to get rid of any unnecessary Samsung software for no other reason than not having them tell me what I can and cannot do with my device. I have owned it for more than 3 years now and it is well out of warranty. I am happy with the performance. It meet my needs. Disabling their software and removing latest updates just seems a bit futile. Samsungs' "Kids Mode" app just updates itself and then wants to take control of what you see. I'm in my early sixties, no young children or grandchildren and with no need for "Nanny" Samsung to tell me what to do.
I just want to get rid of there "preloaded" software. After all, I own the device, why shouldn't I be able to remove the software?
Cheers,
Graeme
I have tried the same but was unable to use any of the how to.

I'd prefer something like system app remover or BK package disabler in case something is inadvertently removed that causes an issue. It can easily be restored.
Hi guys,
do you have a personal safe-to-remove apps list?
I've tryed following the ones already discussed in this forum section aswell as others but I've encountered some freezes/reboots. (For example by removing BBCAgent , BeaconManager and Context Service).
Thanks for your time and happy new year! (tab s still going strong after 3.5 years yay)

Tonyspo is mostly correct. Flash TWRP using odin, boot into TWRP, flash superSU. However, if you're only goal is to remove preloaded apps, I'd suggest taking ashyx's advice and just install BL package disabler from the app store. I use that on my Galaxy S7 and it works great.
I've tried odin, but in download Mode all of my PC's won't recognize the tablet. When booted everything is fine (but than I can't flash)
I've read its because Samsung removed the Option in the Rom to get root rights.
I've also tried Heimdall and I only get error msgs.

Beta 6? Titanium Backup v8.3.3? Pro or base version?
Did yours install the add-on application it requests on Pie? Mine did not.
Edit: Got it working - I needed to download the add-on manually. Thanks.
I'm on Stable 10 and notice I'm not able to remove a system app with Ti Backup. I tried to remove Play movies with no luck.

Even with Root Explorer I'm unable to delete system apps.

Hmmm, on 9 I was able to remove system apps I didn't use.
TitBu works but root explorer isn't mounting the system to read write.

I found the add-on (v 1.0.0) on apk mirror. Installed it separately and the main app works.

You are selling your soul.
With TiBu, you can make it never allow the internet access. So, all this info collection gets shut right there. You can't run Swift Backup in local phone only mode, you have to connect to your Google account within the app and they get access to pretty much everything about you.
Running Custom Kernel? If you dont have a customer Kernel to allow R/W access to the System folders etc then it wont allow you to uninstall apps.

That statement is usually at the end of a logical argument presented to prove someone wrong, not as a first statement. I did not see any arguments provided. But to each their own! Good luck!

Don't want to get into it but I've even spoken to the dev.
After reading a little more, I don't think the issue is with Ti Backup. Rather no one has been able to get r/w access to system folder with root on Q.

Thanks for the link to the privacy policy. It doesn't seem good for those who care about privacy.
First of all, why should you have to allow an app to sign into your Google account to do backups? It makes no sense and serves no functional purpose. First warning sign.
But then, the privacy policy clearly says they collect personal information about you and share it:
We collect Personal Data such as your name, email address & if available, a link to your profile image.

Note the "such as," which means they are not even clearly spelling out everything they collect.
We may share some or all of your Personal Data with our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control... If another company acquires our company, business, or our assets, that company will possess the Personal Data collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy.
Additionally, we may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process.

And so on. This is all unnecessary for the apps functionality, so clearly part of their business model is data collection and marketing. Too bad, because it looks like a nice app.
Mine is working...
I had the mentioned blank screen when first booting up and trying to use it...after rebooting a couple times and making sure I had the pro key downloaded, I rebooted and it worked fine and has been working fine (freezing/unfreezing/backing up)...
