Hello.
I'm receiving my new z flip 3 tomorrow (happy! ) and I want to remove as much bloatware as possible before I start to use the phone.
Do anyone have a list of apps that are safe to remove? I hate it when apps are crashing because I removed something that I shouldn't have removed..
congrates to you for your shiny new phone tomorrow you won't regret it!
there is a thread here that should help:

hey all~
so i rarely have posted here so first an intro. as my user name suggests, my name is jason and i run ubuntu on all my pc's and laptop!
i'm a new android fone owner! i have a nice samsung captivate galaxy s!
i'm really into security stuff, mainly internet security. i have some it security/testing apps on my phone but would really like to have them be 'hidden'. [i have an app locker ... which prevents others from launching them but i want more lol]
i've looked thru the forums and found similar questions [like in the g1 forum, but they were looking for something to just hide what shows up in the app drawer] but nothing that is quite what i'm looking for ....
i do NOT have a rooted fone [i want to make sure i could replace the fone if i briked it before i root it ] and i do not have programs to do stuff via a command line [so moving apps to a 'hidden' folder isn't really an option] ...
so how about it? are there applications out there that can hide applications on your fone?
thanks

p.s.
i hope to post more and maybe one day write an app or two of my own !
Both ADW and LauncherPro home screens have the options to "hide" apps that are listed in the app drawer.
As for an app that will do what you want, I don't know of any :/
Golauncher will do the same and its a pretty damn good launcher and I believe lock my apps has a hide feature
hey guys~
first off, thanks for the quick answers! i appreciate it [and like i said look forward to being able to help others on this site!]
being a noobie with android, if i install any of the programs mentioned [adw, launcher pro or goLauncher] will it mean i loose my current home screen?
i know adw and launcher pro are homescreen alternitives correct? do i need to uninstall touch wise then? [the overlay samsung uses]
i'll look the mentioned programs up in the market to learn more about them ... thanks

Installing other launchers
You need not uninstall any other launchers. After installation make sure you select Launcher Pro or ADW as default launcher. In any case if you need to go back to touch wiz you can still do.
I was looking for an app like this to avoid the prying eyes of authorities at the airport or other searching my device for no good reason. Is there an app that might be a little more secure in doing this?
The ideal app would make it seem like not much if any interest is installed on the device. I could lock the device but am worried i will be ordered to unlock it.

hey all~
thanks for the input ... i guess i'm going to install them all one at a time to test em an see which one i like the best!
i'll let ya know if they meet the needs [what im looking for ]

hey all~
so my update ... i tried all three apps mentioned and fell in love with launcher pro [will be upgrading to plus very soon]!
i love everything about it! it hides the apps [which i also filtered in to a shortcut program that is secured by applock ... so i have easy access to them if need be ... or i can use my terminal emulator to navigate the long way to them!]
thanks

Don't wanna make 3 new threads.
Do you guys have a list of safe to remove stock apps and safe to disable startup processes? I want to speed up my phone.
Also, somebody know how to just hide apps in the drawer? I know LauncherPro Plus does it, but I'm using ADW and really don't want to change just because of it.
Thanks in advanced guys.
for the disabling apps on startup i think android assistant would help, never used it for that purpose tho but it has and option to kill apps on startup
I've just rooted my new Galaxy Ace 2x (GT-S7560M), and I've gotten pretty much everything set up as I want it - New launcher, SMS, Dialer, Contacts, Lock Screen, Browser, Keyboard, etc. Now, I don't have a ton of room or RAM on my phone, and I was wondering if I would be able to remove the stock versions of any of these, and what kind of effects that would have.
Note that anything I remove would be backed up either on my computer, or my SD.
I'm not sure if the default launcher can be removed in the first place, but if it can, will it effect GO Launcher? Does GO piggy-back off of the stock launcher, or would it be safe to remove?
Pretty much the same for the SMS and Dialer and the rest - are they only replacing the interface and piggybacking the functionality off of the stock, or will they work without the originals?
So, could someone give me a blow-by-blow of what effects each will have if they are removed?
As a side note, the main reason I'm doing this is because my phone, even when rooted, will not allow me to install any apps on my SD - So for a secondary solution, is there any way you know of to get around that?
{EDIT} Spelling/Grammar
Hey, guys! I make this thread because I want to remove the touchwiz requirement of some apps of Samsung, to make it work on CyanogenMod. I've seen some ported apps, like Task Manager or Notes, so I think that it's possible to port more.
Thanks!
hi is it possible to completely remove bixby, for some reason i only can pick bixby when i hold power button, any help thanks, also how can i remove samsung apss, like calendar, clock and what not
You can't "actually" remove them without custom firmware that does not include them. You can, however, "uninstall" them.
It's a trick that uninstalls for the current user, which is similar to the stock functionality of disabling apps.
[GUIDE] [DEBLOAT] Remove stock apps WITHOUT ROOT
Asus Zenfone has stock android without bloatware .. why this thread is created ?? Agreed that we have near stock android and most of the apps can be disabled in settings. But with the method mentioned below, app will never wake up to consume...
forum.xda-developers.com
I believe there is a Samsung thread somewhere that gives the package names for a lot of those apps.
found sideActions on play store to removed and remap bixby. now on to removing these damn apps
you should just have a setting in settings / advanced features for the sidekey.
