Here are screenshots of the bloatware that I chose to freeze in TB and I have no issues with my phone.
The video player isn't highlighted in the screenshot but I froze it. I froze touchwiz, the stock SMS and the Samsung keyboard. If you freeze the touchwiz laucher, stock SMS app, and Samsung keyboard just make sure you have an alternative. I use live wallpaper but if you don't freeze it.

I'm currently on Juwes 5.0 ROM and use Launcher PRO as my home screen launcher.
I have noticed that TW Launcher is still running in the background and using quite alot of ram. Can I safely remove TW Launcher or will it mess up other parts of my phone that rely in it?

On stock rom I deleted it, no problem. I use ADW Launcher EX.
Same as the previous poster - I always remove TW Launcher and it's never caused a problem.
Cool thanks guys guess I will be removing it soon then.
What about the stock email and messaging apps? I don't use them either but I'm sure I remembered reading that if you remove one or both of them it will cause problems?

I use Go SMS and they recommend you don't remove the stock messaging app. Not sure about the email, but I've never found a reason to remove it.

Well a good reason to remove it would be because it shows up in osmonitor as using ram in the back ground even though I haven't used it ever!
I think its a shame that android isn't modular enough that these things maybe can't be removed or maybe it is samsungs doing because they never thought that anyone would want to use anything but their apps

Hi there!
"Long time reader, first time stander-uper"
How do you uninstall stock apps? (using ARHD)
Most noteably, I find it incredibly annoying that all twitter happenings are going through two apps: the Twitter app, and the Peep app, I prefer the twitter app, but can't find a way to get rid of peep.. any advice?

You can uninstall stock apps with Titanium Backup.
I successfully flashed with TowelRoot and am enjoying being rooted.
I used Titanium Backup to freeze all the AT&T bloatware.
I noticed today that I'm getting force closes when I try to use Action Memo. The rest of the S-Pen apps are seeming to work just fine. I would really really like to get Action Memo working again.
I've defrosted all the AT&T bloat, thinking that I may have frozen something, but it is still crashing.
The only other work that I've done after rooting is to load the LG G3 Keyboard apk, and the Galaxy S5 Messaging apk. I can't think that would interfere with Action Memo.
Can someone help me?
Do you use Greenify at all? I've found that Greenifying will cause it to not work.

It may or may not be the LG G3 Keyboard. I was having that same issue when I had the G3 Keyboard. When I did a clean wipe to update my ROM, I did not re-install the G3 keyboard. And now my action memo works fine.
The G3 keyboard does have a writing feature that just crashes when you try to use it on the Note 3. So what I am assuming is that since it is set as the default keyboard, it is trying to use that writing feature instead of the spen's version that is built into the Samsung keyboard.
Try this and see if it fixes it -
(this will ether temp remove or delete the G3 Keyboard depending on what you chose to do)
1.Use root browser or root explorer to open System/App
2.Put .bak at the end of these files names or delete them -
LGEIME.apk , LGEIME_DICT_XT9_bin.apk , LGEIME_THEME_BLACK#2.apk , LGIme_Theme_HARLEY_DAVIDSON.apk
3.Go to System/Lib and do the same as before except with these 3 files -
libjni_lgeime_native.so , libjni_xt9input_v9.so , libMyScriptHWR.so
4. Reboot your phone
5. Open Settings/Controls/Language and input
6. Lastly, set Samsung Keyboard as your default.
Open action memo and test if it works. If it does, then you know it was the G3 keyboard. If it doesn't, then its another issue going on.

It TOTALLY WAS the LG G3 keyboard.
Instead of renaming the apks (add .bak), I just deleted/removed/uninstalled. After a reboot or two, Action Memo is working LIKE A CHARM!
Thanks a ton for the heads up. That LG G3 keyboard app was a very cool keyboard, but not cool enough to live without Action Memo.

You're welcome. It is a great keyboard, but I don't think its worth it to lose action memo ether.
Anyone know how to permanently disable the keyboard? I turn it off and it auto turns back on. I have SwiftKey installed, but I keep getting the select keyboard notification.
You can't quite "turn it off" but you could always freeze it or uninstall it with Titanium Backup. Although I wouldn't personally recommend it, since Samsung apps have strange linking and uninstalling a seemingly unimportant app could cause a permanent TW crash.
Thanks. Wasn't quite ready to root.

the samsung keyboard being removed or frozen won't cause TW crashes. there is a way to remove it without rooting. you can boot (not flash) TWRP and then flash a zip which will remove it from it's location. i'll get to it this weekend. should jump start the modding.
alternatively, there's a mod which can just disable the IME switcher notification. i'll need to make this one as well.
Recent versions of Phone won't install even though they say Android 7+. I must have uninstalled the default Samsung dialer. I can use a third party dialer but I prefer Google Phone.
