if you haven't taken the ota, root with pwnmymoto. if you have taken the ota, root with rockmymoto. then download tibu. then freeze the bloatware.

Ok so I've rooted my z1 and now I'm wondering which apps are save to delete from device to free up more space.
Is there a list anywhere listing which bloatware is safe to delete?

There are lists, you can just google it.
However, the best thing to do is use an app like titanium backup and then "Freeze" aps. This way you can see if it effects performance or stability before actually uninstalling it. If it goes wrong you can just defrost the app again.

I think you can just disable it from settings->apps

I was wondering the same thing today and just found some lists from other phones. Just hadn't gotten around to asking yet, so thanks.
But this is my first locked bootloader device I've rooted, so was wondering if the bootloader checks any system apps on boot? I assume not, but want to be safe. If the bootloader won't boot, then titanium won't help much to recover
Also, anyone know if tweaking things like the dpi in the build.prop will cause the bootloader to freeze?

Its not a problem deleting system apps and the bootloader. However, deleting system apps can some processes to fail, but the device should always boot.

This may be slightly off topic but did anyone get their Z1's with bloatware in another language that could not be uninstalled? When I got mine, it had a few apps in Polish (I think) that played music and some other things. I could not remove it the normal way. Just curious if anyone else got the same crap I did. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising seeing as how I got the C6903 overseas model. I just didn't think it'd have apps that I couldn't remove.

Titanium back up or root explorer I've found to be the best apps to do this

Don't use android? Seriously Google Play and the services are what make the OS work.
Right, keep, music, and plus and having multiple instances of the framework are what makes the phone work.... I suppose android system is just there to drain the power, not for any functional reason

This
If you have root access you should really have Titanium Backup Pro. And if you don't feel comfortable uninstalling certain programs you can freeze them. Does the same thing but instead of uninstalling the program it just hides it from the system as if its not there, and you can always unfreeze it down the road if it causes you problems.
Or flash an AOSP ROM, but you lose Sense. +1 to above for using Titanium Backup. If you're feeling gutsy, you could use a file explorer with root privileges and dive into /system/app, but regardless, you should be careful. Oftentimes, OEM ROMs have Google-specific components actively built into the framework, so take care not to remove anything that kills your phone.
So just rooted using pingpong and am wondering if you guys can tell me which apps and services to uninstall or disable. Thanks.
why would you root your phone if you didnt have some specific reasons to?

He didn't ask why he should root. He asked for specific apps & services that are safe to disable.

Ya, i think some people confuse the English language. I'm sure he has or had plenty of reason to root but he's asking a basic question on what apps to freeze, or what bloat can he uninstall. Don't hate on him cause he did not trip his Knox counter and you did! Lol J/k guys! My Knox counter is tripped too! But I prefer an unlocked bootloader myself...
For adaway and greenify. I'm just asking which apps or services are safe to disable.

I Gennify any app that has "Gcm" next to it that I don't want push notifications for. For example, don't hibernate espn if you want espn to push your teams score or something.
I downloaded Titanium Backup and froze apps
Oh ya, and ad block
Edit: added viper4android, busybox and Greenify. I almost forgot about Greenify! Switched from ADP to AdAway.
Tried Wakelock Detector but it doesn't work Xposed doesn't work either.

I'll nuke every single stupid app that I wasn't already able to remove. Then I'll mess with the framework and config files to do things like remove icons and boost speaker volume.

I tried installing xposed but it said that it wasn't compatible.
Anyone know if we can do a exchange email password/PIN/fingerprint bypass? I'm sick of this damn lockscreen.

Or use your file manager of choice to rename the app sdm.bak ... I do this for all my unwanted apps once I get root.
Nothing against TiBu, I just like digging in there and seeing things first-hand.

Give them some time to look at it. We've only had root for about 24 hours. I'm working on a couple things, like brightness slider removal, volume boost, and hopefully making it so both the WiFi and LTE icons aren't always on at the same time. Should have some of these by this weekend.

It's been an issue with TW lollipop since xposed was released for 5.0. It doesn't look like anyone is working on getting it fixed as far as I can tell. Maybe with root on such a popular device (unlike the S5) we'll see more work on it soon. I hope so.

I'll keep you in my prayers lol but this has been an issue since xposed for lollipop came out, it never played well with touchwiz. Crossing my fingers for a fix soon.

Does someone have a list of Sprint's bloat ware, mainly ones that don't use the words Sprint in the app or process that I might have missed from disabling?

anything labeled sprint you can long press on and uninstall, or within apps. if it doesn't have an uninstall option, ignore it.

Hi, thanks. I'd already on the same day of receiving the Sprint bloatware deleted all the apps that I could via uninstall. However, I'd like to know which other apps can be safely disabled, and more importantly are there any services or packages that don't use the words "Sprint" that may not be immediately visible to disable.

look in apps, do you see anything called sprint app pack or appcloud NOT SAMSUNG CLOUD. do you see appstack in apps. rid app pack or appstack. thats a good point to relax after that. do not DISABLE any other sprint app that only has disable or enable. also lookout can be disabled along with fb instagram and messenger. NOT the message app.
These are all packages and process with the word Sprint in them. Anything that doesn't have the word Sprint in them that I should be looking for.? I did see lookout bloat which I've already disabled.
