Hello everyone,
after messing around with system apps and deleting unwanted apps I don't use, Google Now seems to be gone. Probably uninstalled something wrong.
Can anyone post a list of all apps installed in system/apps? So I can check what was wrong and see if I can fix it!
Thanks a lot!
Alright forget it, fixed it...
Sorry for opening another thread...

Hi All
I was looking around and couldn't find a definitive answer for the tf101 w/ ICS (not entirely sure if it matters that its a transformer... and am thinking it has more to do with android os than the transformer itself)...
anyway, I was wondering is there a list of non-essential apps (bloatware) that can be removed without messing up the ROM? I'm not sure how the apps are linked with the OS but when you go to uninstall certain apps with titanium backups it gives a warning that removing certain apps may mess up your rom...
Is there a reference list somewhere? there are a number apps that i don't use and parts of me just really likes getting rid of 'junk'...
thanks and much appreciated!

You might want to remove some bloat apps by asus which can be found in this post:

You dont have to delete the apps. Just rename them to *****.akpB or something else, in case you want to use them again!

just curious as I hear you cant move apps to the SD card. which wont be such a big deal if I can remove some of the existing junk put on there by samsung and increase the space available.
or have I missed something obvious.
If rooted, you should be able to use Titanium Pro to remove anything you don't want.
Place all questions in the Q&A section, thanks

ok cool, thats what i was hoping, thanks
I would freeze the app instead of uninstalling unless you are 100% sure what the app is

this is actually the question that should be asked...if I remove the wrong software, what's the worst thing could happen to my tab?
i had removed all the samsung 'hub' apps couple of weeks ago and havent had any problems...

Another noob question...What is the difference between freezing an app and uninstalling one? I mean, it's a bit obvious, but also a bit vague...
My first few questions are rather broad/major... What's the different between a "package" and a ".APK" based on the spreadsheet being linked? Does freezing keep the process from restarting upon rebooting the phone??
Do I want to freeze apps that I want to keep for possible future use? Uninstall is for anything I want to get rid of completely and never plan to use, correct? I likely know the answers to these...But I also read that freezing an app is better and frees up more system resources than uninstalling....how can that be true? I assume uninstalling an app also "freezes" it, AKA stops it from processing...Correct?
So apps I might want in the future, like clock widgets, I just want to freeze, correct? Same for calender, calculator, etc?
On the other hand, I was to uninstall items like VZW Navigator, correct?
Sorry for redundent questions but I'm just making sure I do everything right.

From what I understand, freezing essentially deactivates the app. As long as the app is frozen, it should not start, regardless if your phone reboots. If you freeze the app, it will still be there, just not working where as uninstalling it will completely remove the app. If you are not sure if you want it, just freeze it.
Freeze disables it and leaves it in the rom and usually hides from app drawer. Uninstall deletes it from rom making rom footprint smaller but saves it in TIBU backup folder. Defrost re-enables app in rom. Uninstalled apps can be reinstalled from TIBU. Bottom line frozen app is still in rom thus not actually debloated just disabled. Uninstalled is removed from rom but saved by TIBU thus debloated.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have an updated list for TW 4.3?
I have this link
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1#gid=0
but it's clearly old as I don't see listings for Cloud and Backup Assistant Plus, which appear to be some Verizon (not Samsung) backup options.
Anyone have a current list?
All,
I believe that I have successfully found and deleted all files related to the mSpotRadio app on my phone. However, the app still appears in the list of apps. Can some one please tell me what I need to do so that it does not appear in this list.
Thank you.
Hi folks,
While tweaking my phone I accidentally clicked Google Hindu Input on Keyboard & Language section. Even though I unclicked it afterwards, Google Play wants to update it (I manually update my apps). I disable the Input notifications from Apps menu, but it is still shown up under Google Play "update your apps" menu. I installed and uninstalled it, yet to no avail. Is there any way to unlink my connection with it?
I'm using rooted Nexus 5.
I had the same problem, all you have to do is go to Settings>Apps>All>Google Hindu Input>Disable
And that should do the trick!
P.S. it should look like the picture after all said and done..

Thanks for the reply. I did it first, but it said it could affect other apps performances as well, as it is a part of system apps. So, I think I need to give it a try again. Thanks.

Also found that Titanium Backup has bunch of market related functions. I'm a noob to the app, but if I find anything to solve my problem, I'll post it here.
