You could just go to the Application Manager and disable the bloat yourself without needing to go through this 3rd party software stuff.

You could disable apps like whats new, xperia lounge. App manager wont let you disable certain system apps. Yea sure you could do it thru adb. I think this is just easier.

I've been using Titanium Backup to uninstall bloatware. It deletes system apps too if you're rooted.

Is there a list anywhere of apps it's safe to uninstall? Some are obvious but things like Album could be tied to the camera and stuff.

How to debloat - what to unistall and replace for clean android?

Hi everyone, i got an s7 flat plus the keyboard cover. I always used cyanogen or pure android moto devices and i can't stand samsung's interface, even if it's better than ehat it used to be.
The keyboard is key for me so I dont want to install another rom, because it will probably not work, it seems baked into the OS.
I will install the Android N theme, chrome, google now launcher, contacts, calendar. Anything else? Can i remove all samsung apps by simple uninstall or do i need to root the device? I would like to get rid of know, the browser, etc. but not sure if I should get greenify. Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks

You can disable bloatware apps with Package Disabler Pro.

You can at least disable a lot of apps (samsung / facebook stuff too) within app manager, that is already on your device.

How to delete unwanted apps

Is there any way at all without rooting that I can delete these bloatware apps? Even basic apps like facebook that I do not want, I cant uninstall.

Package disabler from play store

That just disables them which I can already do without downloading another app.

If I remember well, not all bloatwares can be disabled without Package Disabler Pro, for ex. the 2 Yahoo apps, Galaxy app, Knox related apps, Gear VR related apps, Smart Switch agent, TouchWiz related apps...

Disable apps that can not be disabled

Hello, in this thread I will show you once for all how to disable apps that can not be disabled.
All this can be done with root very easy...but some people don't want to root... so this method will involve just a play store..
On most devices like Xiomi you can NOT disable those annoying apps like most google apps.
However if you go to play store/menu/help&feedback/type in disable( you should get option popup saying "Delete or disable apps on android" click it. Now you should be able to see a link saying "tap to disable apps". When you click that you will get in your settings where you can disable all those spam bloatware apps like google.
REMEMBER THIS WILL MOST LIKELY NOT WORK FOR ALL APPS.

Play store

Hello,
My play store keep changing from do not update apps to auto update on wifi.
I have several app that i keep on old version.
How can i block playstore from changing this setting automatically
Thanks for help guys

Playstore is a bloody pain.
Set to auto update to wifi only and disable wifi.
Use ApkExport to copy your apps so you have them.

exactly a real pain... always switching the setting on after set up all stuff.
looking for a solution or a workaround to disable this or disable my apps from auto update

Disable Playstore or Google Play Services (Playstore is dependent on it).
Both constantly running in the background... needed or not.
You will need Google Play Services though for Gmail and other apps occasionally during the day.
Use a firewall to block it.
Use a package disabler.
I use both...

oh thanks will do that on play store. Any good app freezer you recommend ?

For phones other than Samsung this might work:
"Owner App" version from
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

I figure out that the play store get default settings after each restart. So something must reset it configuration ... I need to find whom

I'm not sure what's causing that. I can package disable Playstore, firewall block it and it's settings are the same after it's enabled again.
If it's data on the phone is getting cleared on reboot that could do it... 3rd party cleaner or power management.
I don't use Playstore much and all my apps/updates are backed up for reload.
In part because you can't get older versions on Playstore (if the app doesn't disappear entirely) and because Playstore downloads are a slow, tedious pain that use up too much time when reloading.
Don't want Google's junk in my face...
