I have compiled a list of all pre-installed apps on Samsung devices (see attachment as xls and ods), the sources being all similar lists I've found on the various forums here and my own devices (GT-P7501, GT-n8000, GT-S5830). If there were a general 'Samsung Devices'-forum instead of a separate one for each single device, I'd have posted there, but as it is, this seemed the most appropriate place - move this thread if I am wrong .
I'd like to freeze or remove as many superfluous (for me!) apps on my devices as possible, but (as Gandalf said to Saruman - or words to that effect: "He who breaks a thing to find out what it is has deviated from the path of wisdom") I'd like to know exactly what app is what for beforehand.
Any research here and elsewhere is complicated by the facts that not only mostly localized names are used (What is named "Mobile Tracker" on English devices is "uTrack" on German ones) but that sometimes even the app-IDs differ (localized? "Accu Weather Widget" comes as "com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather.widget" on one device and "com.sec.android.widgetapp.at.hero.accuweather.widget" on another). And to confuse even more, some come as "com.sec.[some thing or other]" here and just as "com.[some thing or other]" there or are just named differently on different devices and/or Android versions ("Picasa Uploader", "Meine Uploads").
So what I have done is compile this list incorporating as many variants I could detect and the general opinion (from the lists I found here and my own experience) if it is safe to free/remove when not needed. The most important part, for me, is the description. I have filled all I've found here and found out myself, but with quite a few I have no idea what it is for.
It would be great if you, the reader of this, would look over the list and help to fill out the blanks - this might be useful for all of us (or show me that already complete list/database in the other forum that I did not find )

I took a look at your posting and have been able to add some information I've compiled from my Samsung device (Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro, SGH-I547). I didn't add any apks (ie tetheringprovision.apk that is installed on North American market cellular devices for data plan usages) If possible just double check some of the information I added (to prevent confusion).
Hope it helps
Joe

I have installed the XDA aPP to be able to browse this forums quickly on my note 3.
But.. How can i re-arrange the list of visible forums..
there are lot of forums which I do not want to see in the search results as well while browsing.
Is it possible to delete/hide some forums, so those do not come into search results when searching and also not listed.
This option should be better for advanced users. :good:
Hi,
Just subscribe to the sections and threads you do want to follow, and only those will appear in the subscription tab in the app. ?
Hello,
I am not able to find the correct search field to use to find info on my model of phone. The "top phones" and "new phones" sections do not contain info on Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930T. XDA has changed substantially from when I used it a couple years ago. I am having a lot of difficulty with this new version. When I use the "type device or find apps, ROMs, & more" search field I get redirected to an unfamiliar place. No idea what is going on. Why is Samsung NOT listed as a "top" or "new" phone?
Hi !
Your device can be easily found by using the " find your device " searching function
Hey guys,
On the Google description of Smart Lock ( I am new here so I am unable to post the direct link to the page, but you can find it at: support. google. com / nexus / answer / 9075927? hl=en&ref_topic=6168852. There is a reference to certain devices being able to detect and recognise your walking pattern. I would love to learn how that is implemented and what devices it works on. Does anyone have any leads?
If you are having trouble finding the passage on the webpage where this is mentioned, you can find it here:
-> "Learn about locking options"
-->"Keep your device unlocked when it's on you"
---> "Use on-body detection"
----> Second bullet point
Thanks!
I guess not receiving a single answer makes one wonder if this is the right place to be asking this. Is there a different subforum I should be posting on?
Thanks
Hi Guys,
I have created this thread as I could not find any to discuss and share news about this new interesting feature (mentioned in the title) shown by Samsung at CES 2020.
In this demo video it can be seen from 0:33 that is being used on our beloved Tab S6. I can't wait to try it on any of my devices, but I think it could be the most useful on our tablets (or phones connected to DeX) if it works out well. I think they could add a virtual trackpad to it and using any stand you already have a quite good setup for everyday usage and also doing some business/educational stuff on the go (and at home of course)
Any opinions are welcomed and also any new information (release date/beta download) is appreciated!
