I have scoured the www. But can't seem to find any lists regarding disabling of apps/bloatware.
Can anyone help out as there's so much changed since I last used it I don't really wanna brake anything.
Thanks

I just fly by the seat of my pants, if I disable something that I shouldn't have, just re-enable it.
I always do all the bixby, any carrier bloat, any samsung bloat and services that I don't use. If you uninnstall with adb and you need it you're out of luck but with package disabler pro just re-enable it.

This?
Play with it. Pretty hard to really break it to the point of needing a hard reset on an unrooted phone.
Just don't block obviously essential apps like One UI Home (Pie). Even that can be undone.
Google them first.
If you really goof up and can't get to undo it as a system administrator in safe mode it will be hard reset time. I never had to do that though.
With Kitkat if it crashes the kernel the screen starts flashing a warning every few seconds which increases in speed or just starts straight off flashing every one second. In between flashes you need to navigate to system administrators and disable it. It's tricky.
That was caused by a bug in the old disabler software, has never happen on Pie but that can happen.
How Pie and above will respond I'm not sure and hopefully will never find out...

Sorry mate it was just a blue square haha don't know why it didn't show up properly
For now I am experimenting with all apps enabled just setup most of them to "deep sleep" in battery optimization. What I've noticed is that all apps I've set to deep sleep (not to run in background) are showing as "disabled" but still can be accessed when taping on the icon (AR Doodles for ex).
I wil surely return to Package Disabler to completely disable some bloat or apps I don't ever use. On my old Note 10 I had like 20 disabled...

There will be packages you want to be able to toggle on/off... on the fly.

To those of you who plan on doing this.. A little advice for you and a WARNING.. This does not just disable things it actually removes them and they cannot just be turned back on on the fly and if you actually remove something you're not supposed to you can bet you're going to be factory resetting in order to get booted again (ASK ME HOW I KNOW,
LMAO).. Don't just delete stuff search what it's for and what it does first!

Ouch. That's painful.
Crash and burning many a copy of XP by playing in the registry harden me to this sort of pain, lol.
Unfortunately on a phone that's not rooted you can't ease the pain with a cloned copy!
It's easier to use Package Disabler with the exception of apps it can't disable because some of those apps you'll want to be able to toggle on and off as needed.
You can also use it to troubleshoot and to see if the disabled apk has any dependencies you need or if removing it causes conflicts like excessive polling due to its removal.
Can you use ABD to disable Samsung Pay? It's on my hit list...

You can use adb to disable that and other apps the command is
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>(without the < > )
Edit: To reinstate/enable the app, replace disable with enable.
If you have an International device do not disable Samsung Pay, it will lock device and you will have to factory reset. I did this on my Note FE and my 10lite. I only posted it here because I know sometimes Exynos users look at Snapdragon threads

Sweet. Thank you!
Here's a cool feature in PD MDM.
If you open up the box for a apk listed on it, it will give several options including the check box in the upper left corner. If checked it will toggle that apk on/off when you touch the PD MDM screen widget, you can toggle multiple ones together by checking over apk boxes.
When you do updates especially system it's best to disable PD MDM as a system administrator temporarily. Make sure you export your blocked list first so you don't lose those settings.
Another really cool feature is using PD MDM to clear app data. It clears it completely; it can resolve corrupt data that clearing data in Settings can't. Apparently app data when clear in Settings leaves bulls or some kind of remnants that PD MDM doesn't. It saved me a hard reset with a system apk who's data had gotten corrupted. Clearing it in Settings had no effect.

Crap! Thank you for the warning. It may do the same on Snapdragon too?
It's a real dicey apk, and Knox, I hate them.
Lol, maybe try it just before a planned hard reset... did one about a month ago and don't want to lose this one yet!!!
No it is ok to disable on Snapdragon. I have all Samsung pay things disabled.

There's a simple little method in newer versions of Android (not sure when it started but I first noticed it in 4.2 with my Google Nexus 7) called "disable."
A lot of people don't seem to know about it, and think they HAVE to root in order to remove bloatware, and considering the Galaxy S4 is on AT&T and made by Samsung, there's bloatware GALORE on this thing.
A quick run through...
Open up "Settings" from your "Apps" menu, hit the "More" tab in the top right hand corner, and select "Applications manager." From here, you'll find 3 sections, "DOWNLOADED" "RUNNING" and "ALL" (you may have to tap running in order to have the selector move to where all is visible). Select "ALL" and find the program you want gone, select it, and in place of the "uninstall" button you'll see a button saying "disable." Click this button (if it asks to uninstall updates, do so, and press the disable button again) and enjoy that one annoying program showing up in your apps list no longer being there. As added good measure, I also force stop the program.
Keep in mind, there are system level processes listed here, that if you disable, your phone may freak out. ONLY DO THIS WITH ITEMS YOU KNOW YOUR PHONE CAN DO WITHOUT.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU DISABLING SOMETHING THAT RENDERS YOUR PHONE INOPPERABLE.
*edit* This is not a COMPLETE removal. It DOES remove the application icon from your apps list, and I have not had any update notifications or any push messages from a disabled app. They will still show up in the "ALL" listing of the Application manager at the very bottom saying "Disabled." You can also uncheck the "Show Notifications" box to ensure that no notifications are sent from that application as an extra annoyance-killing measure.
A poster had a question about background services:
datura77 said:
This thread seem to focus on applications. what about background services that can be safely removed with autostats?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Could anyone with a more extensive knowledge on services shed some light on this? The original quote can be found at the bottom of page 6.
*EDIT* While I DO have my phone rooted, it's easier for me to go through my list of everything using Titanium Backup. Here's my list of currently disabled apps that I have frozen using TiBa. You may not be able to disable near everything I have disabled because there are a couple of applications that cannot be disabled using the built in controls. I DO NOT use a lot of certain features on my phone (NFC, Swype, Talkback, S Voice, Group Play, etc) so my list may differ from yours a bit. Keep in mind if you disable something, that program will fail to function. You can NOT disable NFC services and go to starbucks and still expect NFC to function. If you have a question about what a particular service or app does, it'll be best to google it and see what it does. If no information is provided, we can try and figure out what it does.
I will try and mark the ones I KNOW that cannot be disabled through the applications manager in the list. There are only a couple I know of since going through TiBa was so much faster for me.
IF YOU DISABLE YOUR LAUNCHER VIA ROOT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE INSTALLED BEFORE DOING SO. LAUNCHER IS WHAT CONTROLS YOUR HOME SCREEN. IT'S A PAIN TO FIX SOMETIMES WITH NO ACCESS TO YOUR HOME SCREEN.

AllShare ControlShare Service

Disabled apps won't use RAM because they won't load but they do still use storage space if that makes sense.
Once disabled they disappear from Application Manager. How do you re-enable them?
The same way you disabled. Go back inti the Application Manager, scroll all the way down, and "enable"

its nice to disable, but its alot of bloatware and we should be able to remove it completely.

I agree, but some people don't like rooting their devices. This is an alternative to rooting, and it's built into the device. No arguing about "voiding your warranty" should something happen and you can't un-root. Some people don't like that idea of the whole warranty thing.

Somewhere in the process of this, I lost my voice to text. I'm still trying to figure out exactly which processes are tied to this, and I have been unsuccessful. Glad I have the rest of the weekend to do it lol.
*edit* I believe it MAY have been linked to the google search I disabled (you didn't, I just got it along the way because it was there and I wanted to test). I re-enabled everything and rebooted my phone, then went through and left the google search related items enabled and it seems to have corrected my loss of voice to text. I did disable S Voice and S Translator as well.

I just checked and it works for me..
Look at the keyboard settings and make sure Google Voice Typing is enabled..
this is my first Sammy device, but I gotta say S voice might be the most redundant and dumbest application ever. Its nowhere near as good as Google Now but yet it's the default

Yeah I updated my post on there. I think it was related to the Google Searches that I disabled. I went back through and disabled a lot more stuff this time, but keeping those 2 on seems to have left my VTT in tact.
Disabling processes...for science!

Yes, it seems to only control a select portion of the phone, but then, it should be specifically tailored to the device it's installed on. Not like being a generic voice controller like Googles and spanning multiple devices. I still don't use it though.

I agree completely. My disappointment is Google touts this as some big thing when you are not getting back lost RAM and in 2013 we are getting worse storage options than in 2010 based on average app sizes.
Thanks for the lists! The main reason I have been freezing apps (even though I have root) instead of removing is because I don't yet have custom recovery installed. I don't want to start stripping my system until I can make a decent backup.
Some apps I disabled that I did not see on previous lists are:
All AT&T apps EXCEPT Software Update
Briefing 1.0
Chrome 25.0.1364.169
Easy Launcher 1.0 (I use ADW and have it set as default)
Kies via Wi-Fi v42_1304_1_2
Mobile TV 2.0
Multimedia UI Service Layer 1.8
Music 6.0.1
My Files 1.0.0 (I use Ghost Commander or Root Explorer)
myAT&T 3.4
OmaDrmPopup 1.0
S Health 1.5.2
S Memo 2.17.422276
S Note Provider 13.01.6000
S Translator 0.8.8
S Voice 11.0.0.1
All Samsung apps EXCEPT Keyboard, KNOX, Print Service, SetupWizard
SensorService 1.8
SNS 1.1.0
TouchWiz home 4.2.2-I337UCUAMDB (I use ADW and have it set as default)
Try air move 1.0
I used to Titanium Backup, some of these services are not visible without it. I have not had any errors or issues yet. I will update the list if anything changes.

This too is a valid reason.
Has anyone figured out how to remove the "Samsung Mobile" bookmarks folder? Seems like it can't be deleted by normal methods and I don't know where to go digging in the phone to remove them with root.
so hypothetically, when a chunk of these are disabled, and threfore not using RAM upon loading... (or not loading) that should help speed up the phone even more correct?

So, I had some success improving performance on the VZW S5 by disabling some of the apps that I dont use. Lets face it - TW is just too heavy , and taking it down a notch seems to help. I have seen a few lists in various places, but nothing really definitive so far. While we all calmly and patiently wait/hope for root/debloat tools, I wanted to put together some of those that were disabled manually without causing any issues in everyday use... as well as a list of other potentials. I've seen questions in various places, and thought it would help to consolidate suggestions on one thread.
**Since everyone uses their phones for different purposes, and therefore different apps - please keep in mind that disabling an app that pertains to a function you use (IE; Print service, Health, TTS, VZW Navigator [lol], etc) will cause it to cease to work until you turn it back on. Though you cannot turn off most critical apps, please be mindful of these suggestions.
Please throw in any suggestions that you were successful in disabling, and I will update (see second post for options). I started this to identify additional/successfully disabled apps for this purpose. Pretty conservative so far.
All apps listed are those accessible through the Application Manager (Settings-->Applications-->Application Manager-->All).
Bloat/Safe:
Accessories (VZW)
Amazon
Amazon App Suite
Amazon Kindle
Amazon MP3
Appstore (Amazon)
Audible
BlurbCheckout
Caller Name ID (VZW)
Cloud (VZW)
Family Base Companion (VZW)
Flipboard
Google Play Books
Google Play Games
Google Play Movies & TV
Google Play Newsstand
IMDb
Isis Mobile Wallet
Message+ (VZW)
My InfoZone (VZW)
My Magazine
NFL Mobile
My Verizon Mobile (VZW)
Polaris Office 5
Samsung Link Platform
Samsung Print Service Plugin
Slacker
Swype
Travel Wallpaper
Verizon Location Agent
Verizon Support and Protection
Verizon Tones
Voicemail (VZW)
VZ Navigator
I also went through the application list, and checked all that COULD be disabled from this menu. If anyone knows if any of these are safe or effective to turn off, or what apps/services they pertain to (other than the obvious) that would be great to know. Many of them dont run for me under normal conditions, so I believe many of them should not help performance by disabling (if you dont use those services).

Hope that helps.
I am not given an option to turn off Voicemail. I use Google Voice for voicemail anyway, and hide the stock voicemail app with Nova.

Interesting - I was definitely able to - perhaps because it was never setup from the get-go? I use Google Voice as well.

I actually hadn't set it up either. Then not having the option to turn-off, I set up the 30 "trial", still no option to turn-off. weird. Though, I DID set up Google Voice as my voicemail carrier before all this. I switched back to Verizon, and still nothing. Oh well, now I get to see how much of a pain it's going to be to cancel this $3/mo service.

I wasn't able to disable it from the Application Manager, but I was able to by going to the app drawer and "Uninstall/Disable apps."
I am also not set up yet..
How exactly do we turn off Verizon Support and Protection....The option to turn it off is greyed out...How exactly is that done?

Not sure. I have noticed there were differences in what individual devices were allowed to turn off. Try stopping it first, clearing cache/data, as well as turning off other vzw apps that may possibly be tied to it. Some had success disabling from drawer, so you could try that.
I was definitely able to turn it off, as you can see from the above pic. Let me know if any of those options work.

Thanks for the info I wasn't to sure about a few of them but tried it and seems to be working a lot better. Ithe barely get warm now and I only had it happen to me when I played games and surfed the Web. Going to start defrosting a few to try and pinpoint the main ones.
Thanks again!
Update!
Just tried to play modern strike for a longer period of time and got about 10 8 mins. Into play and it started getting real hot again maybe because of the Web or service for playing online and the graphics of the game. Anyone have any ideasuggestions not what else to freeze?
i have a problem with my s7 tmobil, is overheating all time, i downloaded phone info, and says 41ºC with only 1 minute when i use chrome or youtube says: 50ºC. and batery only 30ºC, its that normal?? i need help. PD: sorry for my bad english

Look threw the threads I've seen some fixes for S7 and S7 edge that you can flash threw flashfire. Freezing some apps with titanium backup also helps. I got mine working pretty decently up till I have to many apps running in the background and playing games for to long. I'm thinking about flashing the "U" version but reading as much as possible about it before i do. I've even tried to revert back to stock and wait for nougat but I haven't been able to do it. For some reason Odin won't flash it (I've down loaded 2 versions of the stock files and no luck. Also tried different version of Odin without any luck either). For now I on echo rom.
Hi,
Can someone please tell me which apps are safe to permanently delete from my rooted Google Pixel?
Thanks in advance
If you did a simple search ...
Just root then you can uninstall whatever. Otherwise just hit disable.
I uninstalled apps such as Play apps (music, film, books...), allo, hangouts, music fx (because i use viper as equalizer), daydream if you don't have vr, other keyboard languages, also print services because I don't have a remote printer support, but I think it's better not touch anything else.
i dont want disable, uninstall updates, disable sync disable backup or any of this crap that doesnt work anyway
i want this cloud bussl**** gone, uninstalled from device

I don't know what exactly doesn't work for you, but I can assure you that id DOES work If you don't want it, it is enough not to LOGON to samsung cloud... or you can use package disabler or AdHell3 to disable all apps related to Samsung cloud....
