Hi Guys,
So I got my SGT 7" Sprint unlocked yesterday. So far, I love it. The screen is gorgeous, and I really like its feel in my hand. Anyway, I have a 10 day trip coming up and I want to see if I can replace my laptop with the SGT for this period. Now here are the things that I generally would use during my trip:
1. Occasional TV episode/movie (all of which I have already, no Netflix/movie downloads required)
2. Some music
3. Facebook/Gmail/College Email (already set up on Email)
4. General browsing (some youtube, forums, looking up places to go in the city)
5. Google Maps
Seeing what I need, which apps would you guys suggest? I am guessing a media app, but I haven't tried the stock media app yet. Would I have to convert stuff for the SGT to play properly? Is there any way I can download the maps on Google Maps and store them locally so that I won't need 3G services if I don't have wifi?
Any help is very much appreciated. Also, I haven't rooted my Tab yet, but will do it in a day or two once I get the hang of it.
about the google map i can't help u with it ,
but if u want to root your tab easily by one click . just download the superoneclick search for it , and root ur phone with it , its so easy

1. Stock player works fine for most formats, You could also try these
2. Stock Music player works fine or you could try these
3. Official facebook app/stock email client
4. Stock browser, Firefox, Dolphin HD 5 / Official Youtube App
5. Locus Maps.
You shouldn't need to convert any videos etc as they should play fine, even HD. However if you wanted to save space you could downsample them to reduce size.
To root your device use z4root or superoneclick. Also check out teh sticky threads in teh dev section. DO NOT post topics there though, if you have questions etc go to questions section or reply to a topic in dev.

1. Moboplayer free from the market. plays most video format.
2. if it's just some music, stock music works fine. if you listen to music frequently through your headphones, i recommend poweramp cos there are lots of settings you can play with. NOT free.
3. default facebook app works fine. built in email app is good. i use it for my school exchange email.
4. if you're on gingerbread, stock browser is fine but the browser can't download certain format of files, for example .rar files. if not you can try Opera Mobile (free). it's really smooth.
5. maps... i use google maps..
these are some of the apps i use and i highly recommend them. all are free except poweramp.
Quick office, you can sync it to google docs, thats if you need to create/read/edit documents, it can also make power point presentaitons
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I just rooted my tab and will give all the apps a try. TheATHEIST, does Locus maps allow map downloads?
For movies and videos set browser to desktop and check out ::
letmewatchthis.com
When you watch videos there from tab use the megavideo link. It works flawlessly for me.

The latest version of google maps lets you store maps in a cache, to use without a data connection.
To take advantage of this, move the map around the area you want to visit. Zoom in and out, follow the roads, etc. The maps are stored and you can use google maps with no data connection.

Opera Mobile 11 with adobe flash 10.3 is perfect.. in fact it's speedier than safari on ipad
but occasionally i switched to Dolphin HD if i need webkit rendering for testing underdeveloped webapps.. Presto didn't support full html5 yet
so the latest youtube app came out for android not too long ago but i found it it wouldn't let me play videos while the phone was in sleep mode anymore the last version let me do that so what i am asking is if anyone one knows how to play in the sleep mode or if you know were i can get the apk for the last version of youtube thankyou
there are a lot of apps in the market that let you play youtube in the background. they dont run as smooth, but are decent for your needs. i forgot the names of them, but check it out. just do a search next time, this topic has been talked about before

thanks il look in to it but i dont understand why it jsut stoped after the update but thanks anyway
Please let me know if you find an app that does this. I can't find a working one for samsung infuse 4g on 2.3.6
Speaking of Youtube app, Facebook no longer recognizes the YouTube app as one of the apps to load the youtube links I click off the FB app..(when I click a youtube link it used to allow me to choose between browser, dolphin browser and the YouTube app) so is this an issue of the YouTube app or the fb app?

And don't forget, every one is using there phone differently, we all use different apps so look at the list and remember that although some marked safe to remove, it can be something you want to use .

What would be great is a google spreadsheet list with a small blurb about what the app is, and perhaps other apps it's related to since a number of these are going to be connected.

On my todo list
I did the same on my razr HD when I found a comprehensive list of what each of the apps are doing. I froze some apps on my note 3 already, but the ones I wasn't sure of wether they're needed or not I didn't touch.
THANKS!!!
Wow, this thread is awesome!!!
I was finding apps to remove/freeze on my Note 3 (SM-N900) as I was only getting 3.5 to 4 hours screen time on regular usage. And in order to save some battery!!!...
And I came across this thread!!
THIS IS GREAT!
MANY THANKS!

Also would be nice to have a guide about safe deleting of several ROM items like Wallpapers or Sounds (and other things) in a way to free up space for our own apps, and have a Slimmer ROM..
What dou you think?

Sounds great, but my first goal is to make some kind of spreadsheet with good information about every app that can be frozen and what the purpose is of that specific app.
And this will take a a lot time.
When done, we will see.

Why don't you just throw it up on Google Docs and iterate slowly - and also getting the community to chip in. Like so -

Would be also good to get a level of battery usage.
Like High Medium Low. Know it would take ages but maybe make a collaborative piece so we can all help out!

My experience with freezing is that it will save some battery, but don't expect miracles.
For example, without freezing i will lose about 1% a hour at standby and now i will lose less 0.5%.
But every % is one .
And i just hate it when i spent a lot of money to buy a nice expensive smartphone, it is loaded with bloatware i don't use and eating resources.

I couldn't find a list of apps that could be frozen last Saturday, but I found one via the forums search for the Galaxy S4. So if you really want to make a google spreadsheet, I would start with the S4 one as a template as it already contains a lot of information about apps that can be found on the note 3. I just checked through the spreadsheet to verify that I didn't freeze anything I need (I looked up which apps run in the background and then checked the spreadsheet before freezing an app). But having a complete list with info about what app-freeze impacts what other apps would be great too. Just found out this morning that I couldn't send SMS as I mistakenly froze the messaging app :silly:
Nice list...Now loving my new toy even more!

Just curious why you'd disable the apps that are just as easily uninstallable (ie.Hangouts, GP Books, Games, Music, Drive, Earth)?
If you don't plan on using them....ever....why not increase your storage capacity?

Are you using a custom ROM in which they're baked in? If so, the process for removing system .apks is a bit different, and you may in fact want to simply leave them disabled rather than removing entirely so you don't encounter any potential FC's or loss of functionality.

You removed facebook ? so you downloaded it and then uninstalled it, madness man madness.
I remove these every CM flash :
STK-SimToolKit ( PoS junk )
Terminal Emulator ( No need if you have a custom recovery )
MMS ( not hangouts )
Movie Editor ( WTF what is this a phone or a PC ? )
All Live wallpapers ( Saves some space, and i don't know anyone who uses them )
Email client and exchange ( don't use exchange because of pin entry swapped to gmail on Android 1.0 )
Any non-google camera related gallery(s) ( for AKOP / AOSP builds )
Sound recorder ( useless for me personally )
Any Browser that's not chrome ( always use linked devices to follow links from home / work )
Google+ / Magazines / Books / movies ( never used these and why bother magazines and books / movies are all integrated into play store, if GAPPS includes these )
You disable Drive? Dang son that's how/where my schoolwork gets done haha.
I'm on stock, rooted.

Movie Editor
Email
Magic Smoke Wall
Stock Launcher (after install Nova or TSF)
Some stock google apps disabled and almost all deleted.

That doesn't make sense I'm pretty sure. Disabling an app has the same effect as uninstalling the app. The apk is simply not accessible to the OS, as it doesn't run. So you wouldn't prevent any dependency problems by disabling than by simply removing.

(shrugs).... you may be right. I would still play it safe before deleting them though, or @ the very least make a backup of the app first.

if you want to delete a lot of apps i recomend you try out es file manager ( then root-mode then one tap uninstall ) you can multiple apps so its way faster than doing it one by one.
Most of the bones mentioned in addition to documents
