I am looking for a complete bloatware list for the Note 10.1. This is the only thread I found specifically relating to the Note 10.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013918
This is one for the GS3 which was a very complete list.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1#gid=0
Many of the apps appear to be the same between it and the Note 10.1. I do use some of the apps that I think would be classified as bloat like the stock browser and sNote so I don't want to simply install a Clean Stock Rom. Does anyone have a complete list specifically for the Note 10.1?
Not to be a smart a$$ but why would you start a completely new thread when there was one started with darn near the same title, and gave you the answer you were looking for?
Unlike 99% of the people on here you actually searched 1st before posting which is great but to post the same thing that answered what you were looking for doesn't make sense.
But to answer your question, that list is pretty much everything bloat on here
There has been no Note investigation in regards extra bloat ware over and above that basic list for SGS models .
Users have the option of Googling a relevant APK or deleting any files they think they don't want .

I'm new to the development scene. I just wonder if a few things are possible within android...and if so...how easy they'd be to do. If you'd like to explain how to do it...thanks, if not, that's fine, cause right now im just looking for a few answers.
1 - Is there a way to remove the dialer from Android without affecting the general functionality of Android as an OS? I believe the answer to that is simply removing the dialar app from the software...but again, since I'm kinda new to this, I'm not 100% sure. Plus the Galaxy tab has 2 versions...1 with the dialer rmoved...and another one without.
2 - Is it possible to remove the stock music player from Android, again, without affecting the general functionality of Android? This one I'm not 100% sure about...reason being is because I've never seen any roms with the Stock music player removed/replaced(again, not saying it's not possible...just asking).
If it isn't possible, is it possible to "hide" the stock music App?
Thats all I need for now.
Thanks
I thought that I would ask this question and then see what everyone has to offer.
I recently rooted my LG Volt phone and all is well. My next step is to take off some of the 'Bloatware' that came installed on the phone from VM.
My Question is HOW? and WHAT?
I know I would like to remove CHROME browser but not sure how. I know there are a lot of other apps that could come off that I'm not aware of that just slow down the phone and take up space. Has anyone ever developed a definitive list of the 'possible' bloatware that is installed on phones.
I'm afraid to remove some things incase it is required to operate the phone. So something that is critical to the phone operation should not be included on the list.
Once a list is developed than I could check against it to see what it is possible to remove.
Second part is how. Since my phone is rooted it should be fairly easy but not sure exactly how and to make sure I got all of a piece of software removed or am I leaving something behind that is more wasted space.
This, I would think, would be very useful to amateurs like myself.

Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N8000). It has Android 4.1.
I want to upgrade it to Lollipop, to Android 4.4 or to a reliable custom rom. I prefer roms that are lightweight, easy to use and a little bloated. I do not know what is the best version because I have never owned another Android device.
I tried to find the roms to download, but I cannot find the official Samsung download page. It is difficult to find a reliable source that has living download links. So I need some help.
I tried Cyanogenmod and I hated it. It seems that it is only for cellphones and for that reason it is poor for tablets. I do not know what are the good things that Samsung put on their tablets to compare to pure Android. Of course, I do not like software bloat. Some people claim that Samsung adds a bad GUI to the system, but the Cyanogenmod GUI is terrible.
It has an unneeded upper bar. Everything could fit on the bottom bar instead of using two bars.
The touch keyboard has fewer options and the number keys are not independent. Furthermore, my language needs diacritics.
The menu where apps are listed cannot be managed easily. The Samsung GUI lets me uninstall apps, sort apps, move apps and create folders.
Although I do not use most of Google apps, such as G+, I need Gmail; but no Google apps are on Cyanogenmod.
Excuse me. Maybe nobody has read it. Let me try again.

Hats off to everyone on this forum. It's been awhile since I been on here and I am happy to see it still going strong.
I am new to the S8+ and new to modding in 2019. I haven't messed around with this stuff since the "getting the evo to work on boost" days. I am looking for some advise/recommendations on what to choose as far as roms, etc., from the gate from someone who may have had an experience in what I'm trying to achieve rather than going through hundreds of rom post to find the answer I'm looking for. I stepped away from "smart" phones for awhile and came back only when I found out I could lock them down as much as possible using programs like bk disabler (rip). Even root at the time didn't list the "apps in the background" (if you know what I mean) for me to edit or disable them.
I am looking to root (if needed anymore) my device and install an ultra slim/lite rom, no extra apps on it that don't need to be there, especially social media apps. Not sure if roms still come with a separate gaps install option but not having them is fine as well as I will not be signing into any account on my phone and will only want to use youtube as far as the only goog service used, so i wont be able to use any of them anyway besides tube (unless of course there is now a way to use maps and such without signing in?). If theres such a rom out there of course it would need to be stable. I do not want android 9 as none of the apps I actually use (like bk disabler/acr/etc) work with pie from what I have read. Goog wants all the tracking to themselves now I guess, hence why I am looking for a rom that is as slim as possible. I just want to make calls, text, browse the web and use the tube without having all kinds of accounts and sign ups for any of it. I am really tired of big tech but going back to a black and white nokia in 2019 is not an option anymore.
So a few questions I have would be.. Whats the best root process? I see Odin is still a thing so which version should I be using, also which kernel should I be using? Are different roms still based off different kernels, if so which is better? And lastly what rom should I choose or which rom creator is now the person to look out for?
I know I'm oldshool at this point so please bare with me on these questions. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
There are a lot of bloatware app lists on the internet but I want to delete everything except the apps required for boot. Where can I find the list of applications required for samsung boot?

Apps that are safe to remove are in the bloatware list. Why can't you use that? If you remove a system app that is NOT on the bloatware list, common sense dictates there's a good chance it will cause problems.
Keep in mind that system apps are not the same across all Samsung devices, so the bloatware list is your safest option. If you refuse to use what other people have taken the time to establish, you are on your own, and you are responsible for whatever problems you run into.
so the internet is not as big a place as we think

It's certainly big enough to 1. find the answer to your question by searching, 2. find something that can provide your answer by knowing what you CAN remove, and 3. find multiple sources for #2 by simply doing #1.
My point is, your question has been asked before. I provided an answer, with the not so subtle hint that you could have found it yourself - XDA Rule #1:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news.

I understand that it may not have been the direct answer you may have wanted, but it's a close second as it gives you a safe guideline to use. I went so far as to point out that what might be required can vary from device to device, so there's no one-size-fits-all answer to your question. If you want a specific answer for your specific device, you should mention which device you're using, and you should post in the relevant device section, not the General section.
I've offered what help I can. If it's not good enough for you, you're on your own.
