I generally try to run a minimalist setup, with all the bloatware and unwanted apps removed on my rooted devices. I don't plan o root this s6 edge but would like to know if there is a way to remove bloatware permanently and other unwanted apps. Just ordered the phone and it is on its way so I don't have it yet but I have read some articles on bloatware being disabled but not really removed.
Yes i realize this is a verizon sub forum.
cheers
The best you could to is disable the unwanted apps. It's (I believe) equivalent to freezing apps on Titanium Backup, so it's fairly effective. To remove them, however, you are going to have to root your phone because you would need access to the system partition.
Thanks makes sense.
Go check out this thread. Post number 8 has a link to a tool that can safely disable apps without the need for root. My phone is flying now after i disabled over 100 apps.

I'm running a few tests on the limits of the STOCK Nook HD ROM (2.0.5) and was wondering if anyone knows a safe way to try and freeze some annoyances.
Here are my main targets:
Code:
Calendar Storage
com.bn.cloud.svc
com.bn.nook.affiledownloadservice
CloudService
DeviceManagerService
FmService
Home
Library
NookconnectivityService
Profiles
Reader
Social
Shop
TestCenterService
Now if there is any information as to which ones can/cannot be safely stopped please let me know before hand so I don't waste extra time with destroying my /system.
Thanks:good:
If you're rooted, then you could try Android Assistant or All-In-One Toolkit (both free), there's an option to disable specific startup apps.
You shouldn't be able to change anything regarding the Stock B&N ROM, unless you're rooted. If so, TitaniumBackup fits the bill. You can freeze pretty much all system apps there; including those which you have mentioned. However, this process requires you root your stock ROM, and that you allow superuser access to TitaniumBackup.
The apps you listed should be good to freeze, however I've not tested much with the stock ROM; so I would take caution. I'm unsure that "Home" cannot be frozen safely; I would assume that's a key process, which interacts with the user. Of course, all in the name of testing, I don't know.
All the best.
Will do
I don't think there is a safe way to disable them, i have tried a bunch of apps and most don't allow freezing and if i disable them I get reboot loops.
So I'm rooted with a full nandroid and I'm ready to remove all the bloatware..
Are there any apps that shouldn't be removed? If I remember correctly, the og Evo had some problems if you removed the stocks, or news app, I forget which one.
I just switched from a Note 2 and on that thing you can pretty much delete whatever you want without affecting Touchwiz. Hoping I can do the same with the One.
Since there's no root or custom rom available I wanted to know exactly what can be disabled or turned off as they call it now to stop as much bloat from running as possible.
There's a bunch of things I've never heard of in the apps list and I'm not sure if they're essential or not. It would be great if we can compile a list here to help ourselves minimize the bloat while we wait for a root/flashing ability.
Thanks!
Here is a general Note 3 list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2470862
AT&T-specific apps can all be frozen with Titanium Backup.

Lol good luck with that.
Can't remove bloatware without root, only disable.

I just rooted my Moto g6 play and would like to remove the extra stuff (bloatware).
Is there any references on which apps would be safe to uninstall? Thanks
Motorola phones don't have much bloat. You can remove Facebook and that type of crap. The rest is needed by the system
The only real bloatware these things come with are the Moto branded apps and TBQH you can safely remove 90% of it and it'll work fine. Just make sure you keep the stuff with "ccc" in the package name since that deals with OTA stuff.
Truth be told though I've only pseudo-removed these things via ADB and not actually deleted them from the system so PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION as always when messing about with stuff in the system partition.
Apart from Moto guff, LinkedIn, Outlook and a handful of Google apps you may not want are the only things that come pre-installed here.
