Question New S22 owner, how to remove bloatware? - Samsung Galaxy S22

Hi everyone!
I broke the screen on my Samsung S20 5G and I started getting the white screen problem. So I upgraded to a S22, (SM-S901W). On my previous phone, I was able to remove a lot of the Samsung bloatware, but I have forgotten how I did it.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of all of the crap that Samsung forces you to take when you buy a new phone? Short of flashing a custom ROM?
Thanks!

Many solutions applied across different models and OS versions.
Many have been long running issues. All Samsung's should be optimized for best performance.

I know it's been working on other devices. I think the limitation is Bluetooth 4.0 LE, which the M8 ships with. Just wondering if anyone has made any more progress than I have.

Cool, thanks for sharing the fix. I had thought about getting one but ended up getting the Sony since I knew everything would work. If the price drops low enough on these since the new ones are out I may still end up snagging one up since you figured it out.

Watch Best Buy daily deals - I picked mine up for $150. Having the camera on my wrist is pretty cool! I still can't get notifications, but I'll update when those are working.

OnCircle

I was just fiddling around with the people edge and saw the oncircle thing.
Has anyone come across it and what are your thoughts? Any good?

Hi,
It's like ChatOn, but appears to be specific to Samsung edge phones.
The reason I posted here was to start a discussion.. I wanted opinions and if anyone knew any special features about it then they might mention.. didn't really think it needed to go in the Q & A section because I had nothing specific to ask. Just thought it was a nice touch (only useful to people who had registered for it!!)
ya i got a s7 edge and always wondered about it. my friend got a note 7 and i finally got to try it out. couldn't see any reason why it is worth using

1. Pretty good
2. No but it charges quite fast still.
3. idk.
4. Great
5. I like it. It is not a flagship camera but pretty good for this price range. I've read that the quality of the camera in the custom rom's is worse than in ZUI. Dunno about that. I never used ZUI and I am happy with custom roms and their picture quality.
Hi All,

Thanks everyone for the help. Beast is coming very soon.:laugh:
Just for 11k INR.
What about the issues reported about its touchscreen, VoLTE, etc., because unlike other devices' forums here on xda, I'm seeing so many threads regarding random issues; I'm unsure if this is because of the user or the quality of this phone. Agreed, this phone is fantastic value for money, but these random apparent issues just keep me doubting the Z2. I'd like to use this phone for about 3-4 years before an upgrade.

Okay so I have been following all the threads about the phone.
Volte is working fine on stock with no issues and also on custom. ROMs now.
Touch screen issue I dont have idea. Other things are fine as per info I have. For 11k INR can't expect SD820 but I'm getting it soon.
As of now I'm using redmi note 3 and Dev support for it is awesome. I see Dev support for Z2 is also fine.

Thank you for the quick reply. While the Z2 may be a good choice, I'm tempted to get the G5 Plus or the Redmi Note 4, because they're both phones that are well put-together. If I could, I'd get the OP3T for the same reason. Or a Droid Turbo off eBay. Just a few phones I'm considering. The Z2 Plus doesn't seem like wise choice considering long-term use (3-4 years) and overall reliability (without giving me random issues), at least not to me (yet). Just a gut feeling. Or maybe I'm being too cautious. But I'm sure if did get it, I'd unleash the flashaholic in me and flash a rom right after I receive it :laugh:
Do post a little review and camera samples (preferably while running a custom rom; I could find only stock rom samples) after you get your hands on it! For 11k it's definetely a steal! :victory:

Wow... benefits of being in Bangalore - Amazon hub !!
If you don't mind sharing, how is AICP working with 4G. Do you have Jio - does video call etc work?
PS: I ordered on 19th night and got it on 22nd. Waiting to flash right ROM!!

Wow, lucky you...!!! [emoji39] I saw the offer a few hours later, and until then 64GB-11k offer was gone. But I still ordered 32GB at 10k from Flipkart and using it since last 24hrs. It's a good phone. The size of the phone is really perfect. I had thought that I won't be liking ZUI, as I'm always on stock through Custom ROMs, but surprisingly, it's good. Gonna use it for some time. Will flash custom ROM once I get bored with ZUI. [emoji106]

ROMs available for Samsung J7 and OnePlus 3

Hello folks,
I know this is a strange request, but it has a simple reason.
I owe an OnePlus 3 for daily use with FreedomOS installed, unfortunately there are no updates anymore for this ROM.
Now I wanted to try different ROMs to find the best for me. Would be great if I could use Moto Play or Samsung J7 for that. The plan is to know exactly what I want and be able to fast flash my OnePlus 3 this way.
Even if I still looking for my next phone, I'm not be able to find it right now. maybe an Huawei or Xiaomi, but that is a different story.
Thanks for your help!

The device has the potential but Samsung security and exynos processor are making it hard to be on full loose. But, as is evident from the history of other Samsung devices with exynos like j7 prime and many others, and also pretty good specs, we can expect a good number of developers to grab this one.

Still, all of this depends on how many people will go with redmi note 7 pro. I hope people realize that this time (and probably for the first time), Samsung is providing a better option than xiaomi at a little higher price.

Yes Brother.. hope they will push new update for A50.
I would like to start development on Galaxy A50. Currently waiting for open source kernel, I recently requested Samsung to release source code lets see. Need some testers maybe who can take risk of unlocking bootloader and installing custom ROMs, recoveries, kernels.
I am happy with camera, gaming particularly pubg(made for pubg) and display.
But fingerprint sensor needs lot of work.
They already gave one update for fp.
Hello Friends,
Just got my hands on the A50. Great display and good specs. Waiting for devs to pour in some goodies. Especially no HAL3 support

Moved from ASUS Max Pro M2 to this beauty yesterday. Amazing device and I'm loving it.
I'm getting mine on Monday, really excited to get this one! just a question, does anyone know if in Europe (I live in Portugal) it comes with a rubber cover for the a50 inside the box?
