Debloating the Note 3 - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my Note 3 rooted and am trying to get rid of all the boatware. I was able to download an app called "No Bloat" and removed a lot of the At&t crap (family map, att wifi). My issue is not all of it was removed. I can see quite a few of them in my application manager under "Turned Off".
Is there an app that will allow you to delete these?

I debloat manually and I got everything removed. What're under your turn off? All the turned off I see for me are the ones that I freezed using titanium backup.

Actually I deleted all the useless At&t and Samsung ones with Titanium Backup. Worked great.
I kept all the s pen ones in case I want to use them later. Currently under Turned Off now is only "Browser Bar".
I did see that there is a all in one debloat for the Samsung Note 3 but you have to have CWM installed and I dont think its compatible with our N900A yet.

I updated while running Null_16 all apps and Null working fine no loss of anything (Rooted stock Note 3)
I got the update through Samsung app store this morning. Don't see any difference. However, I did notice that two version previous fixed S-voice on the Note 2. The last update made s-voice worse and now with this most recent one, S-voice is again improved. Maybe its a bug fix? idk.
I've updated but... am i wrong or in "old" versions of Gear Manager we had Gmail notifications as primary and not under other notifications? I'm not sure...

Only an additional app in the utility called Sogou Voice Assistant, which is only usable if you are chinese ... However, that does mean it would be possible to perhaps integrate other voice assistants including Google Now at some point.
Other than that it might be more of a bug fix. I wish we could get a changelog though.
What I observed in the last update is the gmail notification rollup all pending mails when a new one arrive instead of showing last one only.
Took the update and now my gear running null 15 will not connect to my Note 3.

GMail Notifications
After the update I am able to receive notification for only one gmail account. I have multiple gmail accounts setup and was able to receive notifications for all the accounts before the update. Is there any solution to this?
getting a notice/error
I just put nullgear_16 on the gear this morning, i had a hard time getting gear manager installed. I ended up using the earliest version i could find 1.2.131013. the watch paired and everything was good. then i installed 1.5120903 over top of it. I got the message that it needed to update with samsung apps. which i didn't have installed. so i found an old apk, installed it, updated it to the newest version. installed Gear Manager 1.5.121601 and now I get a notice that says:
Unable to connect to the Gear.
Connecting to the Gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated.
Check that your mobile device is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software.
I'm on 4.3 eclipse, I don't know what it could be complaining about.
Updated to an MK2 rom (Eclipse) Works perfectly except for weather settings aren't available on the watch or Gear Manager.
Yeah this gear manager update is also broken. I was missing notifications from gmail again. It was nice for a bit and then stopped. I liked that I separated the subject line but would not notify on the 2nd email if I didn't clear the notification on my phone like atn did.
I really wish they would fix this foreclosed app issue when connecting to wifi on the note 3
The annoying change on this update is that once I get one email through Gmail, it sometimes will renotify me as soon as a new email comes in. So I could have it go off 5+ times from prior email notifications. Hopefully it's a bug.
Update also made me do a restore of my Gear and I'm running stock. It's a mess.

I wish there was a way to undo the update and go back to the previous gear manager version. Does anyone know how I can get back the USA gear manager version right before this new update this evening. I want the one that came out by samsung two weeks ago.
Also, my speakerphone is horrible with this update. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem
Like someone said this is a total mess!!!

[Q] What update broke Usage Manager?

Usage Manager app (built-in/stock) used to work.
It no longer does. When I tap it, the screen briefly flashes dark (like it was opening), and then it instantly closes. No error message is shown.
I'm running Rooted Stock MI9 (rooted with RDLV - MJ5 doesn't seem to have anything I want that justifies risking breaking a working setup), with Wanam, TiBu, Light Manager (paid), Keyboard Manager (to use hacker keyboard with terminal and ssh, and swype everywhere else), and Pen Window manager, plus some really boring, typical apps. No games, nothing other than the listed apps that does anything exotic.
It stopped working some time during the last several weeks. I have changed no settings during this time. The only app I have installed is Light Manager Pro (I previously used the free version, until a paid one came out), and I doubt this is the problem, but I have run normal app updates.
Anyone know what it is that causes this issue? I can still get to the battery and data usage screens from settings. It's just usage manager that doesn't seem to work.
Stock MJ5, lots of other apps, no games or weird stuff. Never had Usage Manager on the screen, but I put it on now and it works. Did you try removing it and reinstalling it? (I know widgets sometimes get screwed up and you have to redo them, I've never seen it with an app, but maybe?)

Is there also a widget form of Usage Manager? I'm just using the app.
I can't remove/reinstall it, I don't think - it's a stock app, and doesn't show in application manager...
In any event, I suspect it's one of the root apps that's breaking it. But I don't know which one or what needs to be done to make them play well together.

Long-press the icon on the screen and you can remove the icon on the screen. Then reinstall the screen icon.
What I meant about widgets is that I've had widgets do weird things and by removing and reinstalling them, they worked again.

No bueno, How about unrooting, asking for a warranty swap and living with MJ5? Or isn't having the link on the desktop worth the drive? I think for a little thing like that I'd just live with it. I save my fights for nuclear war (like an OTA bootlooping the phone).

Well that escalated quickly....
This is clearly a software problem. I think it unconscionable and selfish to return known-good hardware for a software problem, because then the cost of this bogus warranty return gets passed on to everyone else (in other words, you and I). I choose not to make the world worse for every other AT&T customer (we suffer enough) to get one app that I am almost certainly responsible for breaking working again.
I'm sure I could fix it by reflashing stock, but I don't really want to do that, because it's so much work to get everything set back up. I was asking in the hopes that someone has seen this before.
Anyone know if there's a way to "reset app data" like you can for most apps, on the usage manager app?
I have pretty much the same setup except I'm on MI9 and don't have that keyboard setup you have. Mine does the same thing. Never could find out what broke it. Sure would like it back though.

I must stand corrected. I had the same fc issues last week with usage manager. Tried putting the shortcut back on home screen and messed with it for about a hour trying to find what broke it. Finally gave up. Just tried it now and it functions just fine. Oh well. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I believe mine started after installing the ATT Allaccess app
Mine broke when I used SD Maid. It deleted a temp file that much I know. Just not sure where. I'm going to refresh the rom and attempt to recreate the break by using sd maid. When I see what file is deleted I'll see if simply putting it back does the trick. I'm using a note 3 att 900a with the Walter White lollipop rooted rom.

Apps safe to Freeze/Delete on AT&T GS5

Ok guys, I hope this helps some if not all of you. This is a list , or pictures, of apps that i usually delete or freeze depending on the app. Applications that may be used in the future like "AT&T Software Update" might be wise to just freeze. Applications like "Beats", unless you use them, I would delete them. If you are unsure of what applications to delete or freeze, it is safer to just freeze the application, as this leaves the application installed on your phone but it is no longer running in the background. When looking at the pictures, the pictures with items with a line accross, this are apps I uninstalled, the other ones are frozen. that are Many applications in the Google Playstore allow you to freeze or delete system apps, but I find Titanium Backup Pro to be more direct and easier to use.
DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility if you brake your phone, or find your balls after debloating the $#it out of your Galaxy S5.
List:
Safe to Freeze:
AT&T Hot Spots
AT&T Software Update
BlurbCheckout
Chrome
com.sec.android.app.sbrowserty
Device Help
ELM Agent
Email
Exchange Services
Gmail
Google+
Hangouts
Internet
Keeper
KLMS Agent
KNOX
KNOX Notification Manager
Mobile TV
My Files (ONLY if you have a third party file manager)
My Magazine
S Helath
Samsung Push Service
Smart Remote
Swype
Talkback
YP
Apps to delete
Use with caution, if you don't know it is safer to freeze.
waplauncher
AT&T Digital Locker
AT&T Messages
AT&T Mobile Recovery

Flipboard
Google Books
Google Games
Google music
Google Magazines
Lookout Antivirus
Polaris Office
imsqmisocket (Can't remember the actual name)

this is weird, I just rooted my s5 using towelroot and installed chainfire's SU then installed TiBu pro with no problem but when I tried deleting some at&t bloatware like at&t navigator.. it keeps giving this "cannot delete system app, unable to locate apk file"..anyone encountered this?
Is there another app that can freeze the AT&T OTA? I have app freeze and app quarantine and it doesn't give me the option to freeze it.
I don't have TiBu pro yet, maybe I'll buy it next month. Are there any temporary solutions to stop with the OTA?

Force stopping the service and renaming the APK in the /system folder should work (e.g. 'softwareupdater.apk.dontrun'). I don't know what the file name of the updater is though, so you will have to do some research.
freeze/delete
i have deleted all apps on the delete list and my phone is booting faster, and i have no issues and i have turned off some of the apps too since i dont have the paid version of titanium backup. all is fine.
Im pretty sure deleting system apps ruins your chance of getting an OTA update in the future, should you choose to want one eventually. I wouldnt delete any system apps. Freezing is fine.

this is my first android smartphone and only my second smartphone (first being iphone 3gs). I was wondering if someone knew what the apk name and location was so that I could at least for the moment rename the updater services so I don't have to worry about getting an update. I know most people talk about titanium backup and some other paid apps but currently I don't have the money to go that route.
I am still learning this and I tried to search to see if someone had any good alternatives to TiBu but I didn't find any results. I saw some things on the Verizon section but none of those files they mentioned were on the AT&T phones (and I was hesitant to assume they would share the same updater service).

This can be disabled using the normal Android app manager. TiBu can't find the apk because the app isn't technically installed on your phone, yet. If you tried launching the app, it takes you to the google play store to download and install.

No, because you can just factory reset and have it back.
be careful please do not tick ultra power saving mode after rooting and removing some apps, it has not been tracked to exactly what is causing it but it is happening to a few of us.
I removed the standard AT&T ****, isis wallet, the google crap i dont use and a few others with titanium, tested it out for a few hours worked great, had apex installed as the default launcher,
CLICKED ultra power saving mode to test it.. POW on reboot phone loads to only a black and white AT&T logo and it is dead there..
Even if you go into recovery mode and factory reset, the phone will now boot, but after unlock its dead no background and just a black screen the pull down up top works and to get into settings and the lock screen works and that is it....
going to download the 900A zip and try a total reset via odin... I'll keep you updated..

Move this to /system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r (0644), reboot, and that should fix it. If not, it may be Odin time.
A thing on debloating. Don't delete the items, pay the few bucks for Titanium Backup Pro. You can freeze the app. The joy of that is when you want to OTA a new update, you can un-freeze all of the AT&T bloat, un root, and bingo, back to stock

There are probably more apks "missing"...if you can remember what you deleted I can upload them for you but it might just be easier to start over with a fresh flash. I'd definitely recommend freezing apps as opposed to deleting them as well but @Walter.White has a flashable debloater script if you don't want to pay for the Pro version. Just flash it in safestrap after you've reflash stock and you'll be good to go! It's pretty serious debloating though you'd probably have to install apps you do use from the play store afterwards...the list of apks/apps removed is in the OP

After trying to use my Gear VR this morning it told me to take it out again and install aps. So I did and the "Gear VR setup wizard" came up and downloaded the VR Installer and App Manager. Headset was working fine last night
After d/l it tries to install but errors out, it only says "install error".
No idea why or how to fix it, tried to reinstall it 5 times so far. It d/l each time and tells me install error every time. getting ready to reinstall all of it.

OK, something is wrong. I uninstalled everything, deleted all related folders. When i put the phone into the headset it tells me to take out the phone just like it should. I take out the phone and start the install process. It gives me a list of apps its going to d/l and then starts the download. Here is when it does the same thing as before, finished d/l and tried to install for a second and comes back with an "install error". So now I'm stuck with no way to install any VR apps on my phone.
Could this be a fault on Samsung's side? Everything was working great last night.
I must ask. Are you using factory rom and snapdragon device. Maybe latest updated apps have compability problem. All my apps are up to date and no problem on my side. Using stock rom.

No, Stock phone. But I found out what happened. I froze some ATT apps on my phone. Once I unfroze all apps everything worked again. Not sure what one was the cause, I had only picked the obvious ATT bloatware apps and things like Facebook and some Google apps.
I'll have to go back and freeze one by one to see what one was the cause of preventing Oculus apps from running.
I'm using downloading games from the store option on the left of the home screen on the gear vr and I have the AT&T version of the note 4 model SM-N910A.

I'll have to go back and freeze one by one to see what one was the cause of preventing Oculus apps from running.

I had this exact same error when I was initializing gear vr on my S6. I also debloated the rom a little bit before this. It seems it's these two facebook apps that should not be debloated, thus reinstalled under the name of vr installer and appp manager. Now I'm reminded that fb required Oculus.
vr installer: com.facebook.system 1.0, /data/app/com.facebook.system~1/base.apk
app manager: com.facebook.appmanager 8.0, /data/app/com.facebook.appmanager-2/base.apk
