Is there a way to remove all the bloatware on the galaxy tab plus 7 without effecting the ICS update? I hate absolutely hate having material that was forced upon my device.

Well I know rom toolbox can freeze apps for free. That I do know since I use it consistently. Maybe you should take a peek at that and give a try.

Hey all, I just rooted my inspire using Bubby's method and wanted to know if I could safely delete these apps. I did a search but didn't find a list of what you could and couldn't safely delete. I know you can flash a custom rom to remove the bloat but I just wanted root and to remove everything I know I wouldn't use. Feel free to add anything else I can remove that I didn't list. Thanks to everyone that responds.

It would be easier to flash an optimized stock ROM...

What would be some good ones if I decided to go that route? The ones I've seen mentioned a lot around here are Leedroid and Cleardroid. Which would be the best for battery life?

It is simple enough to find this out for yourself. Just make a backup of these apps with Titanium and then use Titanium to remove them (since some of these built-in apps might not uninstall the normal way). If you start to see problems then simply restore the needed app.
Yes, but maybe he does not have that kind of time to tinker with his phone...
You can also try Ingersoll, I found it to be the best optimized stock ROM with no bloatware.

you could also try cyanogen 7.3 or gingerbeast. those are very fast and contain little bloat

Alright thanks for that. This is my first android and just rooted it and now just want to get everything setup how I want it. If I flash a custom rom I want it to be near stock with good battery life and stick with that. I personally dont plan to flash diff roms every couple of days.

I appreciate that. Unfortunately I don't have the kind of time I would like to play with my new phone. Im the father of 7 month old twins and they take up a good amount of my free time.

Nearly every device has a list of safely removable Apps. Not ours
I use the 2.3.6 Stock-Rom and would like to remove some of the bloat.
Please post which Apps you have safely removed, and if there was problems after removing. Also on which Android System you did this (2.x or 4.x).
Thank you!
We already vanilla..thats why..other phones have apps from samsung htc blah blah..
For me removed maps wallet carhome did not interfere with system either GB or.ICS

Check out Slim ICS for some hints.

Thanks, but i prefer Gingerbread. Any idea which Apps the GB-Customs have removed? There is no list in their Threads.
Lol. Nexus S is vanilla as vanilla gets. The stuff that's on there is basically just the basics like gallery and the Google Apps. Here's what I would do, freeze the apps you think you don't need and see how you get along using the phone. If it doesn't cause instability, or if there's an app on the market which is better(ie Quick Pic> Stock gallery), you're good to go. At least that way, if something happens, you can always fall back on something. I haven't been on Gingerbread in so long so I don't know the default apps off the top. ICS added a few more Google Apps which I had no need for on stock so I have them disabled.

This is pretty much what I've done with almost every custom ROM and Stock as well

If you use stock because you prefer stock, that's on you. But If you want a GB ROM that's 99% stock and has no bloatware, use oxygen 2.3.2.
Or look up what apps Oxygen 2.3.2 comes with
+1 for Oxygen. A few extras but about as stock can be. You can also try Bugless Beast or Blandroid. I've used all three and they're all great.
Devnull also great..yeahh

So I stumbled into all this rootin tootin bootin recently with zero experience (a vagigantic thanks to rootjunkys vids and my djbliss for providing fall-of-a-log easy instructions) Just upgraded my phone to this kick ass HD (without hardly any research!) and now its all ready to do whatever I want so.... now what?
I installed a bunch of gaurdian project apps (Orbot, TorBrowser, Gibberbot, etc) for anonymity. But where do I learn about the Android file structure and safely deleting "things"? I mean, I still have Real Racing 2 on here because I am not confident with navigating ES File Explorer and uninstalling it yet.
Who's can point me to resources where I can better learn Android? Is the Android dev site the best we got?
Big thanks!

Congratulations on doing all of that, you're on your way!
The way I taught myself all of the dos and donts was to simply install safe strap, flash ROMs, and just experiment. There are a ton of resources out there that can help you along the way, but the best way to learn is to definitely jump right in.
my recommendation, would be to install safestrap, install the stock droid RAZR HD rom into a ROM slot, root that one too, and try deleting apps, seeing what works and what doesn't. When in safe strap, you're in a separate "partition" from your stock slot, so you can't damage anything precious, but its always a good idea to back everything up! If you're looking for good tweaking applications, the one I use is "Pimp my ROM", Its free on the Play Store, and it is loaded with all kinds of features that can make your rooted ROM work like a dream! I can't get to a computer right now so I can't provide you any specific resources, but just PM me if you want and I can hook you up with some more information!
Cheers!

Congrats. I personally wouldnt remove apps via any file manager app. Too messy, to prone to errors. You would be much better off installing Titanium Backup. with it, you can first "Freeze" an app, which disables it. You can then decide if that didnt break anything, and then go ahead and actually delete the app in a similar fashion. I do disable all those bloatware apps so that none of them can run in the background, but unless my phone is low on storage, no real reason to delete them, just in case you change your mind.
OK great thanks.. Just dl'd the Titanium Backup. Will play with it later.

OK so I get the "check Unknown sources box" message from Titanium Backup. When I go to Settings, Apps, I have no options to choose from. Just shows Running, Cached and All apps listed. Where the heck are these all settings at?

How i can debloat my ROM?? Can't find any script to do such..anyone have any ideas??
Are you rooted? If so, I recommend titanium backup to freeze apps you don't use. Safer than actually removing them.

... and actually unnecessary, in any case. Unused apps eventually get unloaded and are a non-issue.
That's true. The ones that bug me the most are the ones that get updates like every week...

Yeah, that actually is annoying (plus, updates for these system apps bite into the 12GB or so of internal storage)- so to the OP, I agree- uninstall all updates to the system apps you don't use, then freeze away!
SGS3 I9300 forum has a safe to remove thread in Themes and Apps .
Thats what i use to remove/ kill/ freeze or find out what an apk does .
Basics apply to most Samsung stuff and certainly a lot of the apps in system/ apps on the note 10.1 are listed .

Turn off autoupdate and just do the ones you want.
Hey guys, as the title says will there be a way to remove the bloatware and the horrid touch wiz ui on the note 4 I imagine you could do it by changing the rom but how would you keep the S-Pen functionality and will this make it lag free and smooth like nexus devices. I watched a review by Phandroid and they said it's not incredibly laggy but it does stutter sometimes and not as smooth as a nexus 5 so that's a little concerning for me.
Thanks in advance guys ^^

if you have rooted device you can simply uninstall bloatwares.
If you don't have root access then you can't completely remove bloatwares. But you can disable most of them.
