Hi everyone,
I've just gotten my note today and it comes pre-installed with LOTS of bloatware by telco.
Is there anyway to remove them? I tried to uninstall via applications in settings but it doesn't allow me to remove them.
Googled but can't find the answer too, so very much appreciate if someone knows of a solution.
Thanks.
Using Titanium Backup, I pretty much removed the same stuff from my Note as my S2. I got info from this thread. Also, there's a reference for S2 apps with comments on how safe they are to remove here.
If I flash to a custom rom, it will remove all bloatwares as well right?
Im new to Android, just gotten my phone and have not root yet. Was thinking of playing around with my phone for awhile before i attempt to root and flash, im worried of screwing up and bricking

A custom rom will only come without bloatware if the developer chose to remove it from the rom. Just use titanium backup. It only takes a second to remove the app.
thx for the help.
Ive rooted and installed titanium backup, used it to remove quite a few bloatwares.
However there are some bloatwares that cant be removed (ive removed it, but when i restarts my phone it comes back again).
But at least there's alot of them thats gone now

Yeah check whats safe and not safe first dont wanna end up untieing a knot you need..
I got the s5 Active and recently rooted and flashed safestrap. I was wondering what the best way to remove the bloat from the stock rom was? Thanks in advance.

Depends on what you want to do. You can install a ROM that is bloatware free, freeze apps with Titanium Backup, or you can manually uninstall them.
For the first option you would just have to search for a bloat free ROM such as the one I'm running: Extreme Debloat.
For the second option, you would root your phone, install Titanium Backup, and just go down the list freezing one application at a time until you're satisfied. (I only specifically froze the AT&T apps in my app drawer, nothing outside of that).
For the last option, there are a few applications that you just run and they uninstall a "list" of bloatware. I don't remember where I saw it, but the application was made by someone on XDA.
I'd just use TiBu and remove what you want instead of a ROM that someone else decided what stays and goes as a lot of stuff is dependent on other stuff
Thanks for the help guys.
I had to repair phone and do not want to root again.
I managed to deactivate plenty of Sony apps (video, movie creator, etc.) but there are three apps that I cannot deactivate because the button is greyed out: Album, Sony Select and What's New.
They are annoying... Is there a way to disable them somehow?
I am on stock. 157
Thanks
How to Remove Bloatware from Your Android Device: http://youtu.be/Hg1lVSUiJKA
With this guide you can remove (delete) bloatware from your phone. I know you have kitkat, so you don't have to have root permission for this.
Not only freeze them, DELETE THEM
Note: Check on threads that shows you which app can be deleted from system (might be in Z1 general forum). If you remove something wrong, you might get soft-bricked.
If I helped you, please leave your message here.

Yes it is.
Beware of what you delete from your rom, after the removal of some apps others can stop working, your rom may crash too.
Alright I just rooted my HTC Desire 510 32-bit yesterday and ever since I did the phone randomly reboots and installs system apps I don't want back onto my phone. I followed the guide closely I found on here step by step I'd like to know what could be causing this issue? Also how can I get it too where the TWRP Theme Manager can do it's thing on my SDCard and where can I find good theme roms and kernels for my phone?

I don't know anything about TWRP Theme Manager.
You can find ROMs and Kernels here, to the right of the Forums tab.
You need to use one of the write protect removed kernels so system apps will not come back. I suggest you leave the system apps alone. I have had force closes when I tried to delete most of them. There are some you can delete with no issues, such as the lockscreen, if you prefer the AOSP one. I also had problems when I tried to integrate updates into /system, especially with the Play Store, Google Play Services, and the Gallery.
You should use Link2SD to free up tons of space. This thread should be very helpful.
I highly suggest for you to read through all of the threads on our phone. You will find some very useful information.

Thank you. I know what system apps that are safe to remove and which aren't I'm a jailbreak freak when it comes to iOS.
I put raptor rom v2 on my virgin phone and I was able to set and save the gsm bands using *#*#info#*#*, but I can't find a proper sized SIM card to test! Phone seems to think it is a gsm phone and keeps wanting to download an international update, that I can't figure out how to install.

they are all fastboot commands, indeed, you reminded me that it would be better to directly add a mini guide for anyone who might need it :fingers-crossed:
Hi, actually I tried your previous post on extreme bloatware removal and ended up with not able to install apks. Even tried side loading via adb. But some required service has been included in your list which caused the apks not installed. I checked with two other devices and same happened. Could you please confirm if it's rectified in this updated one.

Thanks for reporting,
I personally can still install the apks without problems. I didn't need to try adb sideload. otherwise I would not have loaded the list. Anyway I will in these days identify the package involved and make it visible. It was a feature that I personally don't use much based on my configuration. In any case, I repeat, you did well to report it. I will provide to insert it on the thread.

Thanks. btw it's a great debloat list of apps you have. The exact thing I wanted for now since I'm in waiting period to unlock bootloader

Thanks mate, and I give you a little advice about unlocking the bootloader: it gave me an unlock error even though I never unplugged the Mi account from the device and it was all hours past. With the latest version of the MiUnlock it gave me an unlock error despite everything being in order. I solved by installing version 2.2.624.14. I'll tell you just in case :fingers-crossed:
com.xiaomi.providers.appindex* entries should not be removed from Xiaomi phones. These apps are actually the custom skinned "Settings" for Android - removing them will lose access to all settings and will require your device be factory reset. Leave them alone!

If you face any force close just reinstall the full ROM without wipe anything

After doing this, the calendar is no longer working. I didn't noticed you included the calendar in those commands, why would you do that?

Because as i said, this is a Debloat, i use third party apps for my personal configuration. especially in packages like in this case "calendar"; it is not difficult to guess that doing a debloat eliminates a related service. That's why I always say to make a backup.
Except that removing the calendar provider doesn't allow the google calendar app to work (the play store version, not the one installed by default). It is completely unnecessary to remove it (again, the provider, not the app) and I wouldn't consider it bloatware at all.
I recommend you to use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-adb-fastboot-tools-t3887359
Or visit the saki github https://saki-eu.github.io/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/
It's better and make you easily to debloat or do any adb/fastboot needed. :fingers-crossed:
