Is there a list of safe to uninstall stock bloatware apps for att mode (D950)
It is safer to "freeze" apps bcs if you delete them your phone may not work correctly

Oh I know but I'm sure that there's apps (att bloatware) that can be uninstalled without messing up the phone

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

I have my S4 Active rooted and want to get rid of the usless and "have to pay" apps. How can I do this without screwing up the phone?

I installed Titanium Backup and it lets you backup and uninstall apps.

I wouldn't uninstall the apps. Use Titanium and freeze the apps. A lot of people ran into problems when the OTA update came out. If system files were modified or deleted, the update wouldn't go through. If there's another update, simply unfreeze them. I don't know if we'll get any more updates but freezing them is safer

Agreed, just freeze them. I uninstalled all the bloatware, and now I have no screen rotation (which I read is believed to be related to uninstalling Samsung Hub).

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'm on the tmobile variant of xperia z. I don't use any of the bloat apps from tmobile. Can I simply remove them with titanium backup or will it mess up the phone? Or should I just freeze them?

I have an ATT 998U with the September 1st security patch. The build is G998USQU4AUI7.
Can anyone tell me how or even if I would be able to flash a ROM without all this ATT crap on it? I'd greatly appreciate any help.
You can just disable whatever apps you don't need

Not really. A lot of them are system level apps and can't be disabled...

Yeah, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks! It took me a couple minutes to learn to use ADB but it worked perfectly.
