Looking for a link or list or something: What apps in the stock 4.0.4 SGH-T879 ROM can be uninstalled safely on a rooted handset?
I've already hit a couple, like the abortive Lookout Security thing, and AOK so far, but I'm timid. Already have my nandroid backup stashed.
anyone develop such a hitlist ?
thankx

I did some searching on trying to find a list of all removable apps after rooting but all the list i found are from October or November and was wondering if there is a more up to date list. On stock rom btw

It is probably already up to date, Verizon doesn't usually add bloat through updates. You could always get a stock debloated deodexed ROM to make sure though.

Hi there!
Im using a SlimKat 4.4.4 on my Z and im wondering cause i miss them alot :/ Where can i find latest Gallery/Album Wlakman Video apps? any ideas where i can download them im getting sick of Yuga's gallery :/ looks so ugly V_V or is there an APK that allows us to download all Sony bloat stuff by 1 click? Please help or at least gimme a link for all apps if finding them by single is difficult.
Most of them won't work on anything but stock based roms. Look in the themes and apps section for downloads if you want to confirm this for yourself.

Hey everyone. I am happy that we have a kernel with write protection removed. Thanks to CurbThePain and rbheromax. Please use this thread in making a list of bloatware that we can remove safely without bricking our phones. I have been freezing apps with TB and kind of observing how the phone runs. If anyone has tried this or is interested in making a list, please contribute. Thanks everyone.
All google apps expect for playstore or frame service or keyboard I remove the google apps they take space I remove play music movies calendar alarm clock launcher and replace it with nova
I have removed pretty much everything short of the Google framework, HTC Sense, and some of the HTC services (simply because I don't know what they do). I left the clock. I like the clock.

When I had a HTC sensation I removed HTC sense but takes out a lot but there was a lot of development on that phone fast this one kinda standing still so make a back up and remove let us know I don't have root yet but I will
I'm currently in the process of making a non-bloat deodexed, Senseless, rooted stock ROM. I'm literally deodexing all of the system apps as we speak. There's ~390MB of bloatware that can be safely removed (if you don't mind removing Sense/using a different launcher). I might plop out a list later on.

Mobile Installer
Does anyone know whether the Mobile Installer app is safe to freeze / uninstall? I was looking around on Google for its function, but could not find anything.

Did you finish your Rom? Does it work with boost?

Bloatware Removal
I am somewhat new the this rooting trend lol. However I got my 510 rooted (boost mobile). I just want to remove bloatware so I can free up some space. However I am not sure how to go about exactly removing it.
I got the kernel for S-Off and some other nice tricks from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...sprintboost-modded-desire-510-kernel-t2969979
I was reading and found out you can boot the kernel and remove the bloatware and then reboot using the stock kernel again. Which is really all I want. What do you use to remove/unbloat the 510?

Download an app called flashify and backup your current kernel do what you want and flash back. You're limited to 3 flashs per day so go ahead and support the dev if you feel it helped. As far as what is safe to take off, there are reports of things around here so just check around.

To remove bloatware use a combination of titanium backup and root browser

I successfully flashed rbheromax's v1 kernel, got the apps and such, and still have S-ON. If you're having trouble with persistent bloatware, that could be why. I'm looking for answers and will reply again if I can get it fixed.

sprint_vowifi
Hi guys,
I foolishly removed the sprint_vowifi apk/odex not realizing it's something I do use on occasion (rarely make phone calls, but recently have been dialing into conference calls for work). Could someone make a backup with titanium and share? I would really appreciate the help.
simple question, is supersu NOT for deleting bloatware? do i have to do all that manually? i tought that was the wole point behind rooting and this useless supersu app.

titanium back up owns, its the way to go. best so far.
By "pure" i mean a rom that only includes samsung and google stuff nothing more (like no briefing app, or microsoft apps, or facebook apps or anything else really that isn't by samsung or google. Heck I'd prefer if the apps that are from google and samsung are uninstallable too)
In that case you would probably want an android one version of android for your device. I would recommend that you find a 3rd party Custom OS for your device. As all stock Samsung OSes come with Google and Samsung bloatware installed on them as standard

I dont want android one tho, I want oneui 2 without any extra additions.
You could use a Debloat script.
Something like this should work: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73894621&postcount=23
(I would delete the lines for memo and desktop launcher (DeX) because I use those features, go through and make sure you aren't removing something you actually want to use)
If there are still apps you want to remove then use an app like Package List to find their package name, then use ADB to uninstall them.
Other than that, You could always install the Unlocked Version's ROM. I know the N960U1 (US unlocked) has very little bloat from stock, only a handful of Google Apps and I believe Facebook preinstalled.
The N960F XEF variant is similar I believe.
