Can we get a list going of System Apps and Bloatware that are safe to remove on the Note 4 Stock Rom? Id like to remove all the junk but I'm worried it might have some unforseen consequences. If we get a list going it would help me out and I'm sure some other people worried about the same thing.

If I may please humbly request a bit of help from anyone who might have an answer, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
I am Rooted and running Marshmallow 6.0.1 and my problem is that when I use the "System App Remover" that I have used to Uninstall Bloatware from all of my devices, the app(s) I try to Uninstall will either:
Fail to Uninstall
Or...
Will Uninstall, but then immediately Reinstall themselves!
I'm just talking about normal Bloatware, like Facebook, Amazon, Flipboard, etc.. Nothing extraordinary.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to get the Bloatware off of my phone, please???
Thank You!
UPDATE:
The only app I found that can remove the Bloatwar, is "NoBloat Pro" (I don't know if "Free" will do it all). It takes a few steps though and 3 apps total (only NoBloat is used to actually remove the apps).
If anyone needs to know how, I'll lay it out step by step.

Okay, here's how it's done. You may need the Pro version, I can't tell you if you will or not, because I am using Pro now.
If you come out of NoBloat and see an "..... App Has Stopped" message, don't worry, it's not still there. That's just a leftover message from one of the early steps that didn't get a chance to pop up yet.
Use "System App Remover" (with "Show Paths" Enabled) to see which folders the apps live in (and write them down), because the folders tend to get left behind after the apps' removal. I just delete them after Rebooting.
1) Open NoBloat.
2) Open "System Apps".
3) Select the apps that you want to remove (that you're sure are okay to remove). I would just do maybe 5 at a time.
4) Tap "Delete Selected Apps" at the bottom.
5) Tap "Delete" on pop-up. When finished, it will then put you in "Backed Up Apps" (look at the top).
6) Tap on each item (one at a time) and select "Delete Backup" from the pop-up.
7) Exit "Backed Up Apps" and go into "Blacklisted Apps".
8) Tap on each item (one at a time) and select "Delete without Backup" from the pop-up.
9) Tap on each item (one at a time) and select "Remove from List" from the pop-up.
10) Exit NoBloat and Reboot. After Exiting NoBloat (but before Rebooting) is where you may see those messages I said to ignore.
Once you have Rebooted, you can go into "NoBloat >> System Apps" and you'll see that the apps are gone and have not restored themselves.
You should now check to make sure that the apps you remove did not leave behind empty folders. If so, you can safely delete them.
Enjoy!

Ive been adding a deleteing alot of apps since I got my phone. The usual "new toy" deal.
What the best way to actualy delete them. Ive been going through setting>apps>manage>unistall
When I got to the monitor it says my memory is only 23% free. Is this normal, or am I looking at the wrong thing? Is there anyway to install apps on the added microsd card?
Sorry if such a newb question.
Download titanium backup from the market, or uninstaller. Uninstaller gets rid of all apps you've installed and titanium backup can get rid of the other miscellaneous odds and ends.
Sent from my back pocket, using XDA App
hold down the app icon of the app you want to remove and move it down to the little trashcan that pops up but don't let it go wait until it says uninstall and then let it go. this will take you directly to the uninstall screen for the app. no need to install any other apps. hope this helps.
So, as far as your memory percentage goes, don't give it too much worry. I don't recommend any task "killer" apps to solve that though, they aren't good for you phone. A task "manager" app would be okay to use. You could also try unchecking the box to sign into Gtalk automatically (Find that in the Gtalk settings) or just not using so many apps at once.
The two posts above forgot to mention a few things. Titanium Backup requires root access. There's an app in the Market called OCLF (One Click Lag Fix) that can help you easily obtain this. If you use Titanium Backup, you can also remove some AT&T bloatware that comes with your phone, only if you want, of course.
ADW.Launcher will allow you to drag an app icon over the trash can that pops up after you long press on one. Just hold it over for a few seconds and it will ask if you want to uninstall it.
So, there are plenty of easy, free ways to help you out!
Thanks to everyone much more adept than I am and who write clear directions, I've been able to root my NC and load APK files onto it using ADB. But, being the relative newbie that I am, here's my question--how do I REMOVE applications that I either don't want or that don't seem to work once I install them? I don't see an ADB command for that, but maybe I'm missing it. Thanks!
If you haven't already, install LauncherPro. Then to uninstall apps all you have to do is drag the program icon icon that you want to uninstall over to the the trash can on the homescreen. Hold it over the trashcan until the "drop to unisntall" comes up and then release the icon. Done and done.
I installed Launcher Pro, and dragged the icons to the trash can. But the apps still show up in my list of apps (in Launcher Pro) and in the Extras of the NC. I want to get rid of them entirely. Should I use Terminal Emulator to do that? And if so, what's a good apk file for that?
Thanks!

If you follow my instructions carefully it will uninstall the app. You have to hold the icon over the trashcan until the dialog pops up. Then release.

adw also does this. just as a note.
Additionally, using task killer, open the program, and then open ATK. long press on the app in the list, and select "details/force stop". There's an option to uninstall the app from that list.

I thought I had replied that I had realized I hadn't followed your instructions to the letter but that on re-reading, I recognized you had given me the answer. (I also clicked on thanks). Apparently the "quick reply" didn't get the job done. Chalk it up to my inexperience.
Everybody should be using Titanium Backup. It is probably the single most useful app I have.
You can uninstall, "Freeze", and back up. Its one of the few apps I've paid for and its worth it. The free version is fine too.

It is THE best app out there..hands down! Especially for r00ters!
It was VERY worth the $3.00 MANY times over...many many many times over.
Is that clear?
Sorry Im sure this is a very dumb question but I didnt want to find out the hard way. If I rooted my N3, then installed TB and froze like 50 apps... if I go to do a factory reset, what state will things be in? Last time I did this, I painstakingly went thru and defrosted each app, then uninstalled TB, then unrooted, then reset the device. A big PITA.
Anyways just wanted to check before I ****ed something up
Thanks!

If rooted and reset, root remains, not sure about the frozen apps.

Can't answer your question but if you have TB pro you can unfreeze them all at once instead of doing it individually. Nothing else this will save you time.

open up TB, click the check mark in the top right corner of the screen, scroll down the list until you see the header "Freeze / Defrost." Under that header there are 2 options one to freeze all and one to unfreeze all. Choose which one you want to do by clicking the run button on the left. Another list will pop up with pretty much everything on your phone app wise, if you selected the freeze option, click deselect all and then manually go down the list and check what you want to freeze. If you want to unfreeze click the "run" button next to that option and I believe only things that you have frozen will be listed. You can leave everything selected if you want to unfreeze everything or you can go down the list and uncheck what you want to stay froze. Hope that helps. Let me know if you need more help.
"People Small App", "Small Phone" and "Home Anywhere".
I did not install these apps. I have no recollection of ever even seeing them before. I'm running ViperOne 5.6.0, with ViperFlats theme installed. Does anyone know where these apps came from, what they even do (because it honestly seems like I have no use for them) and why I can't uninstall them? When I click uninstall, it uninstalls the updates, but the app itself stays (applies for all three).
Press Thanks if i Helps

You installed viper Rom... The apps are part of side panel.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Thanks guys. I actually just figured it out when playing with the side panel thing. I had never really used it before, as I have no use for it really. I was just concerned about random apps that I did not install, being on my device. Also, I just recently installed Viper, so I was unaware.
Seeing as I hardly use this app, I'm just going to uninstall it.
Hi all
I have installed the planets watch face, so I know how to do that but how do you delete it entirely from your watch?
Anyone? Is there a way to unistall 3rd party watch faces?
It should work like this: You only need to delete the application on the phone, the "companion" wear app gets deleted after a while.
Reality check: I had to do hard reset once when the apps were "stuck" and nothing new got installed and nothing deleted got uninstalled, this happened only once, though...

I'm not sure what you mean mate?
On the phone, open Android Ware and delete the face you want. It then automatically is deleted from the watch. There may be some delay so be patient.

That's the bit I'm stuck on how do you delete the watch face in Android wear?
If I click on watch face I have 3 options, show on watch, settings or hide on watch
Sorry, my error... You have to uninstall them as a usual app (if it's a custom face): forced stop - > delete data - > uninstall. The standard faces cannot be deleted.

Thanks for your time on this, where is force stop etc? I'm new to this
Well I'm a bit paranoid when I uninstall stuff. Go in to the phone setup, choose Application Management (I don't know the right terms as my phone is French). You will see all the applications you have installed. When you click on one, the details will show and you will find top left Forced Stop, center right Delete Data & Cache and top right Uninstall.
