You will never do this without rooting...
...and even if you are rooted, they all require touchwiz framework, so it is no simple task at all. I know you probably dismissed the last post of "buy a samsung" as dismissive, defeatist and unhelpful, but if you really like Samsung apps, then that is truly the way to go.

I actually posted this question keeping in mind that someone is going to say "Buy a samsung device", well the fact of touchwiz framework was totally out of my mind, so . . nevermind, I shall stick to Nexus only..

Okay, if another thread with a listing exists, please point me there and I'll ask to have this deleted. I did search "bloat", "remove apps", and so on and based on thread titles (sorry - can't check every one especially when the title suggests nothing obvious) and found nothing.
I'm certain that all of the various Google Play apps, i.e. Magazines, Books, Movies & TV can go, plus they're downloadable from the Play Store if I ever want them back.
-- What about the various Verizon apps, i.e. Tones ? Is Mobile Hotspot a Verizon app or an Android one ? FWIW, if I tether, I won't use that...
-- What about Samsung's apps like S Memo, S Suggest, AllShare Play, Group Play, etc ?
Any related widgets will go too !
If there's others, please list them ! I do know that just because I don't recognize an app that it doesn't mean it's safe or wise to delete it as many are used behind-the-scenes and are critical. Finally, I'm backing up any apps that I do delete just in case.

Settings.apk that is the hotspot app.
DO NOT REMOVE for obvious reasons. If you don't like the icon hide it. Almost every launcher (even stock) allows you to hide apps

Hehe, yeap, I know that you can't remove that APK ! I didn't know you could hide apps with the stock launcher. Coming from HTC phones, though I typically ran non-Sense ROMs, you couldn't hide apps.
Can't you just use TiBu and freeze the apps?

If I'm correct, "freeze" is only available on the paid version of Titanium Backup, is it not ?

That is correct. Though it's possible to do a Disable on many apps that reside in /system.
Verizon Galaxy S III apps safe to remove
I know I'm necro-ing a thread, but I've just made my own list. (Somehow I missed this post.) I see different apps in my list from the one above, so I figured I would share it anyway!
This list is a copy of the one found here (Sprint version), with a new sheet for the Verizon version. I've stripped out the apps that were in the former list, updated APK names, and went through each app on my phone to do this. Oh, I'm running 4.1.2 on a stock rooted ROM, and I used Titanium Backup to inspect the various apps and test freezing/removing them.
Click here for the list. And feel free to make your own copies!
Edit: My list was for prior to 4.3, so it's likely not 100% accurate anymore. Can't really verify that, I'm afraid, as I used this pre-rooted stock ROM to install 4.3 on my phone, and it already had a great deal of stuff stripped out. Since then, however, I've switched to T-Mobile and picked up a Nexus 5, so I won't be able to maintain the list. (Though I'll leave it available just in case.)
hello guys
finally i bought a new mobile - the samsung edge - my old samsung omni 900 (something like 5 years old) i sent in pension.
on the edge are a lot of staff which nobody needs like the whole google shid, or the samsung apps. i was going thru the last published ROMs but i couldnt figure out that this apps was removed ! actually i understand they wasnt removed.
i there a clean ROM for the edge out there where I CAN decide what i want to install ?
i also couldnt figure out (i used the search with the word "panel") if the custom ROMs build the panel has no problems, also the PEN, multiwindow, ...
i also use the samsung gear cycle (an excellent ear speaker - can really recommend) - this uses the samsung app for it - will it work with all functions ?
maybe somebody could advice a CLEAN ROM.
who to buck needs evernote, flipboard, hp and samsung printing service, play books, play games, and so on - the list is long
thx guys
nobody ... ?
hello guys
i guess the mobile is just to new for a proper rom
no answers yet

there are a lot of bloatware removers.. Bloatware are the extra apps that come with the rom, that are useless basically
there are tons of apps to remove them
there are members here, who created a zip to flash from recovery to let you choose and the rest is done automatic
but if you prefer removing them yourself, root is a must
and i would suggest installing either, Titanium backup, or Romtoolbox
i love romtoolbox, very user friendly, so as Titanium backup
good luck
remove bloatware

*DISCONTINUED*
Google's apps trump Samsung's in my opinion, so I wanted to make a flashable zip to replace (replace, not just add google apps) Samsung's stock apps with Google's.
I am installing these as user apps, not system. If you would prefer them installed as system let me know (I thought you would like to be able to delete the ones you don't want)
Just flash in custom recovery or in flashfire (Mount system in flashfire)
Please post or PM me with problems or app requests!!

Will be working on it soon, I've had problems in the past with uninstalling Samsung's phone, so you might have to just disable that. All the others I should be able to remove no problem

Got it, the incallui is phone v2.1.39.
Edit: You leave the phone apps alone. You actually delete samsung contacts app
Yeah i had trouble using package disabler pro for that
Updated link - Mount system in flashfire... let me know if it works or not
Edit: Updated again (July 20th)
Nice part about these as well... we don't have to rely on Samsung's App store to get themes... all google's apps are substratum friendly.
I have/had a rom out for the LG G4, i basically replaced all LG stock apps with either the Google version or the Sony Xperia version for this very reason... theme-ability without the need for a stock based theme store
Kudos mate!
Have anyone tried it on the S8+ port rom? I don't know if it will crash the system in some point

As long as they didn't change the package names... if they did it shouldn't mess anything up (like a brick/bootloop) it just won't uninstall the Samsung apps.

Could you make it into system and not a uninstallable app? Also, can you remove the Samsung Calculator when it is installed? I don't like two calculators on my phone, thanks!!

I have had experience with similar phones, I can relate to it. If you dont mind me asking why do you need Samsung messages, contacts, etc. You can just export or backup and transfer. I would advise not to mix up app data across different brands. Unless it is just temporary.

Samsung's apps are designed to work with Samsung's Touchwiz launcher that is installed on all Samsung devices. These apps will only work with Samsung's Touchwiz launcher. If you want to use Samsung apps on a non-Samsung device, you can try porting the apps to work on your device, you may have to port the Touchwiz launcher to work on your device so that the Samsung apps will work.
It won't be easy by any means. It might be best for you to find apps that are similar in function as alternatives instead of Samsung's apps.

I believe you are going to regret that very much, I can't believe you want to do that just for a simple messages app. You Samsung Kies or wondershare or whatever to move you messages. If you use the "Samsung" messages app that might be quite deceitful, might be worse than rooting the phone. Samsung will pissed.

It might be possible if you use a camera app from a Huawei device that has the same hardware architecture as the Samsung device that you want to use the Huawei app on. If it is possible, you will have to port the Huawei camera app to work on the Samsung device, you will have to port the camera to work with Samsung's TouchWiz launcher. How to port the app and what changes you need to make, I do not know, I've never ported an app, I just know it can be done and has been done with other devices.
When this method work for you please leave a comment to encourage me to benefit you more
Are you tired of your phone having to much bloatware ?
Do you want a solution for your problem ?
What do you think if I told you that there is a solution
An app
That can "remove" the bloatware from your device in seconds ?
And restore it with a single click?
No root required
Nothing else needed after you download this app
Only give it the permission it need and just be careful with what you remove
How does it work
To my understanding
It disable the app you chose from admin you are using
The app still take space
But
No background service from it
Not showing on your apps
Like it doesn't exist anymore on your device
And you can restore it with all the data it have with single click
The app link
Package disableder pro for samsung
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kinder.pksafety
The app is paid
Another link direct download
https://dlandroid.com/package-disabler-pro-samsung-apk/
Please* : if you can afford to purchase the app*** ........* DO IT .** IT REALLY DESERVES IT
There is another version for LG devices
Tested on
Samsung S9+ android 10
Samsung* E7 android 5.1
What i disabled is in attachment
So, this basically does the same thing as disabling apps in settings?

You can disable everything with that app. Very helpful if don't have root.
May I ask what the app is for LG? I personally don't like LG phones but my bff is a fan and always complaining about the bloatware.
