Just got my Note, and was looking for a compiled list of safe to remove bloatware. I can't seem to find anything for the Note 10.1 and bloatware. Any info would be appreciated.
Didn´t find any bloatware, at least not in JB-German ROM ........
My list
Here is what I have disabled:
B&N Nook
ChatON
Crayon Physics
Dropbox (I use something else)
Gamehub
Google Play Books
Google Play Magazines
Google Play Movies
Google Play Music
Media Hub
News Daemon
S Suggest
Samsung Backup
Kno Textbooks (not a student)
Yahoo Finance (use a different app)
Yahoo News (use gReader Pro, the best)
Update: I hadn't realized the original developer still has this on their website. I searched Google before but didn't find any place to download, that's why I posted the mirror. But later on I stumbled upon it. The developer's site is http://exigocs.com you can also download TinyShark Downloader from there.
It's no longer available on Play Store, but I downloaded it shortly after I got Android. I then discovered soon after it was removed from Play Store, so it has since lived on my sdcard with TitaniumBackup, since I did a lot of ROM flashing.
Despite not being updated for over a year, it works great on Jelly Bean , and is still is one of the best Grooveshark apps for android I've ever tried, with playlists, offline cache option, and more.
With offline cache, you can effectively use this as a mobile Grooveshark downloader. It dumps the songs into sdcard/tinyshark_songs/ where they have id3 tags, but are just named a bunch of numbers. You could cache them 1 at a time, then go there and rename the file to whatever you want, or you could just copy to your PC and use software to use id3 to name the files.
Here is the original description:
Listen to Grooveshark on your Android device for FREE.
- Search the Grooveshark database
- Import Grooveshark playlists
- Play individual songs or an entire playlist
- Cache songs for offline playback
Does NOT require Adobe Flash to play music (Settings -> Use Flash Player). TinyShark now does not need Flash for music playback, but it is still an option for those that find it works better.
Starting with version 3.0 a lot has changed under the hood. A lot of fixes are being made so check for updates often. If you are having problems try reinstalling and create a new shortcut in your launcher. If you are still having issues please email details and send any crash reports you can.
Thanks to everyone that's been emailing!
To download songs try Tinyshark Downloader also available in the market.
Taken from:
http://www.bestappsmarket.com/p/app?appId=8894&title=tinyshark
It really works much better with "Use Flash Player" unchecked. [You have to do that to enable Offline Cache]
The app id is com.exigo.tiny

thanks for sharing! I recently used the groove mobile but it wasn't good at all.
Downloads as a zip but the post suggests an APK. Shall i just flash it?
Edit: my bad downloaded via phone but showed as zip. Working fine via PC.
Thanks for sharing!
Not connecting
I am experiencing some problems during the last month with this amazing app. It doesn't connect, when i try to connect i can see the 'connecting...' with the yellow light, but in a few seconds becomes again 'Disconnected' with the red light. Is it just me or this app is not working now?
I am having the same issue as well.
Try using tinytunes app from play store.
It's from the same developer but not related to grooveshark
It's pretty good.
As I am a new user I am not able to paste the link.

tinyShark 3.1.7
I tried Dood's music and it has a very bad performance (for me),
Searching in google i found the last version of Tinyshark (3.1.7), now it connects, but it doesnt play any song
SOLVED: Settings > Playback Controller > HTML5 instead of FLASH

Tinyshark needs a widget and this has to be useable and offline caching needs some work

If you guys are having issues with 3.1.5 you need to first uninstall 3.1.5 and then update to 3.1.7 found on their website http://exigocs.com/. If you still have problems download and install tiny shark downloader.

I would consider this app *warez* for the fact it is used to steal music off a site that is know for being borderline legal anyways. There is a reason Google removed it from Play.
Just sayin.
Also, buy the music you like. Support your artists

Sadly, by buying music you're supporting the music industry (RIAA). By going to concerts you're supporting the artists.

Not the artists I listen to. I buy direct from them or their independent label.
If your music is controlled by the RIAA then you need to stop listening to USA Top 40 and go out and find real music.
Either way is better then supporting this app.
But back to why I brought this up, if XDA allows this app then why not all the other MP3 downloaders in the play Store?
Mod maybe answer?

How to setup squid Proxy for tinyshark for streaming?
Somehow my T-Mobile connection seems to be blocking the tinyshark connection. Whenever I use the T-Mo data connection, my tinyshark would immediately show disconnected.
I managed to setup a squid server so that it now shows "connected" ( squid log says TCP_HIT/200 1495 GET http://grooveshark.com/crossdomain.xml - NONE/- text/xml )
But the songs are not streaming...
Anyone has experience setting up squid for tinyshark that could share some insight?
Thanks!

Dear all,
I am listening to my music using GooglePlayMusic cloud on my android.
I would like to send this music from my smartphone to my PC (linked to my Hifi) using internet or Bluetooth.
Do you know if such an app will allow me to do so ?
I have been looking at 10 different app and I still can find what I am looking for.
Twonky App is the one closest to what I want but:
1. i don't know if this app will read my google play cloud (it is not a local database on my smartphone)
2. for some reason this app is not available on the google phone NEXUS 5 O__o.
Thanks for you help !

Am I misunderstanding what you would like to do? You can just use Chrome and go to the Google Music website and stream the music direct on your PC without using your phone at all. I do that all the time.
You should have your music when you login into chrome by email which is also login in your phone
Http://www.Music.Google.com will give you what you need just open that on your computer and its the same exact library on your phone as long as you're logged in to your Google account

I read magazine using Google Play Magazines, which now has been replaced with Newsstand.
The thing is, I don't use Newsstand to read news. Unfortunately, Newsstand is a big bloatware. It runs in the background all the time and download stuff, even though I disable that feature.
So can anyone provide me with the original apk for Google Play Magazine?

I mean chrome can work well on my device N7000.
