2.3.3 List Of safe Apps To Remove

Here we go!
Found these over in the Arc forum, Im guessing most will be the same.
List updated, now with complete descriptions for all APKs.
This is a handy reference guide I had posted on my local forum, the list of apps may not be identical to everyone else, but the core ones are there. Hope it's helpful here too!
Feel free to let me know if this is helpful or if there's any additions or corrections needed to be done.
WARNING: Rooting and removing System apps is at personal choice and risk of lost of warranty and damaging the phone.
WARNING: Always make a complete backup of ALL the system apps before removing any in case of accidental deletion.
DISCLAIMER: This is only a reference guide. I will bear no responsibilities if by referencing this guide through your own discretion damages your phone in any way.
Apps that are unsafe to remove or are linked to phone's capabilities:
(Keep them if you want access to all of your phone's features.)
Note: Many of these only run when needed while a few of them are persistent services that are about 1mb sizes. While removing them may give you a few mb more, keeping them is rather insignificant.
Note: Some of them can also be removed if you have replaced or removed the main app they are tied to, but read the descriptions carefully!

Can be replaced:(These apps can be safely removed and be replaced by preferred third party apps of the same function.)
Warning: Sony Ericsson's home launcher should not be removed until after another third party home launcher has been installed and properly set up to take over it's function.
Note: Depending on the third party calendar app of choice, it may be advisable to setup your calendars using the default calendar app before removing it.
Note: Most third party messaging apps cannot send and receive MMS if the stock messaging app is removed.
Note: Removing the default clock widget will also remove the alarm feature. Ensure your clock of choice has alarms or have another alarm app installed.

Great comment - really helpful. Which ones then????!!!

If you guys read properly, the first list is apk's that should NOT be deleted.
The second list shows apk's that are safe to be removed.

Tidied it up a little

Question how to remove them?

I have this question too how to remove them?

Now that we have root thanks to Azuzu, you can use titanium backup.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App

does titanium backup remove apps?

thats mean I go to titanium backup, select the app i want to remove and tap unistall, if im not wrong.

I believe this has to be done with the Flash Tool. Plug your phone under flash mode and go into clean option.
Here´s a link to it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10881307&postcount=5

ok guys I did it, yes you can remove apps with titanium backup, easy and fast.

Hey buddy,
Very useful information! keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Erick

sony x10 2.3.3 allready rooted !! and working

I use Titanium backup, however I tend not to uninstall unwanted app, just "freeze" them. That way if something weird does happen you can always "unfreeze" it.

4.3 rooted / what apk's can we delete?

Thought some people will find this useful...So as the name says, what apk's can we delete from "root unistall" but without harming phones stability/performance, or maybe increase battery life/ free more ram?
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

Install custom rom... You will get better performance, battery life and more free ram.

Sony's account manager and the Unlimited app for a start, the only thing I left of the Sony stuff was the Walkman/album/movies trio.

What's about all these Facebook and social services an plugins? Can they all be removed savely? I already removed the Facebook spyware, so I don't need them.

This people don't know how to install properly custom roms. I installed 4.3 custom roms few times and as you can see my phone is working great.

Mine's working with better performance, less battery drain and more free RAM but some are unsure in things like flashing.
@Riemen
I deleted everything that had FB or Facebook in it's file name and some other apps as well. If you are not sure if an app is necessary for the device, just rename the extension to .bak or move it to your SD. When there's an issue you can just rename/copy back again, set correct permissions and nothing will have changed.

Time for my experience to shine here..
I've gone in and removed a ton of services and apps from the system after rooting my 4.2.2 device, using TiBu. If you choose to follow this guide, you do so at your own risk. I will not assist you in repairs if your device stops functioning, however you're welcome to POST (don't PM) questions about whether I have a specific item frozen or removed from my device.
All carrier related apps, in my case, Rogers Canada, such as Rogers Navigator, One Number, etc, can be safely removed.
All "Xperia" plugins can be safely removed. These include the social media for Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, etc.
All Google store applications can be removed EXCEPT the Play store for apps - Removable entries include Google Play Books, Google Play Movies, etc.
All Playstation related items can be removed, if you don't use them.
Most, but not all mini-apps can be removed. You must keep the calculator, clock and timer apps unfrozen and installed, or else the task switcher refuses to open and Xperia Home FC's. If you use a different launcher, I'm not sure what your experiences will be.
You can uninstall any stock apps like Calendar, Calculator and what not, but they must be replaced by the Google versions available on the play store. Do not try to uninstall/freeze them if you plan to use a 3rd party app.
Tasks, Notes and other "Sony" apps can all be removed (Albums, Walkman, etc).
Smart Connect, Throw and Photo Services can be safely frozen, but not removed.
Camera Apps can be safely frozen, but not uninstalled. Camera refuses to operate without those plugins present. 3rd part apps also refuse to operate (tried with Vignette, and CameraZoom FX).
Freezing the camera apps also removes the "slide" functionality of the lock screen, so if you remove them completely then you can't swipe to unlock your device.
Exchange Services can be frozen, but not uninstalled. If you're confident you'll never need to add another sync account to the device you can uninstall it. If you uninstall it and try to add an account such as a Google Address, or similar, then the Settings app FC's.
Messaging app can be safely removed or frozen if you have a replacement app to accept SMS and MMS (such as Hangouts). If you don't have a SMS/MMS app and you freeze or uninstall the messaging app, then your device will reboot whenever you receive a message.
All Mirrorlink related items and services can be frozen, but not uninstalled.
RetailDemo can be frozen or removed.
SensMe Slideshow can be frozen.
Setup Guide, Sketch, Top Contacts, TV Launcher, and all unused stock themes can be frozen or uninstalled safely.
You can safely remove the Xperia Home launcher if you use an alternative launcher, however a factory reset on the device will cause it to stop functioning completely, and in order to recover it you'll need to Flashtool (and subsequently unlock your bootloader) to repair it. I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS
You can safely remove the Xperia Keyboards, however like above, Factory Reset will cause the device to become completely unusuable. I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS

Why do you say unlocking the BL is necessary? It should be no problem to flash to whatever FTF after booting into flash mode.

I've tried previously using Emma (or whatever it was called from SonyMobile). To use FlashTool it tells me the BL needs to be unlocked.

Now as we´ve got 4.4.2 running the debloat list could get an update, doesn´t it?
I debloated too much, I guess.. My camera doesn´t work properly any more, it doesn´t focus and taking pictures freezes the cam app.
Have to watch out better before kicking out too much ^^

For Emma you do, try going to flashtool.net and using that flashtool, it does not require unlocking the boot loader

See Below post (or if you're a mod, delete this post, leave the one below it)

This list will be ongoing. If you're reading this message, there's more edits and what not coming this way.
I am currently using an Xperia Z1 C6906, Locked Bootloader that is rooted with dual recovery and NUT's 14.3A.0.681 (Android 4.4.2, Kit Kat). This is the stock rom, a fresh flash (no data backup/recovery).
If anyone knows how to export a list of currently installed/unfrozen apps from TiBu, I'd be happy to post that. Currently, all I have figured out how to do is export the entire list, but it doesn't specify if it's frozen or not.
Update (Mar 28, 1142hrs): I'm almost finished tweaking, but am having a problem with the stock EMAIL client. It's frozen, but something in the OS is calling it and is causing a "Unfortunately EMail has stopped" window appearing what I estimate to be once every few hours.. usually every 6 hours.. As soon as I figure out what's causing this, I'll post the guide and list of apps I have frozen, so you can safely remove without fear of crashes, stability degradation and boot loops

I don't understand why this thread doesn't get more love.
I'd rather remove system apps and freezing things than to install other roms..

Same happened to me here when I was deleting system apps, but I didn't delete that much, Only 8 files, 4 apks and 4 odexs.
Anyway, I used flashtool to flash the ftf I made from my SUS updating my mobile (I uploaded it and posted it in the mega collection, it's Global LTE) and then unlocked bootloader, hotbooted doomkernel to go to TWRP Recovery, and flashed NUT's DualRecovery for LB and flashed the latest SuperSU zip and rebooted to system.
Then connected it to my PC to restore my TA backup and lock the bootloader.
Now I have full root stock firmware on locked bootloader.
I don't know why but I feel that I went waay off-topic.

Is the de-bloating extreme if all the system related apps only are between 90-92 installed total, in /system, after reboot (after wiping cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery)?

Now as we´ve got 4.4.2 running the debloat list could get an update, doesn´t it?
I debloated too much, I guess.. My camera doesn´t work properly any more, it doesn´t focus and taking pictures freezes the cam app.
Have to watch out better before kicking out too much ^^

[UPDATED]: Reference List and Functions for All Touchwiz Software

Guide Updated for Lollipop in post 2 below! This first post is for Kit-Kat releases
Removing these apps WILL remove functionality, break some of your menus, lead to force closes, and reduce the capability of your device. I am not responsible for what you remove and you have been warned
*Freezing these Apps will have the same effect as uninstalling them and is a much safer option for the user. Please consider freezing first and then uninstalling after you have tested the device.*
I originally set out to make this a list of "safe" to remove software for users bold enough to remove them if they didn't want that feature. The "Apps removed" list is still that original work, but what it has turned into instead is a reference library of all the Samsung apps and what they do. This is a work in progress and I will need the help of the community to keep it accurate, updated, and relevant. The way I have the software listed is the exact name as it shows in Android Tuner. I may edit this post later to include APK names, but for now this is the list as I can report it. The annotations I've added are intended to be as accurate as possible and some provide references for why I think they do what they do. If you know what one of these does and want to add to it or correct me (cause I am wrong a lot) please post and tell me so I can change the descriptions. If we do this right many people can benefit from this, including devs, who want to remove unneeded features from Touchwiz and maximize their ROM's efficiency.
Tools I Used:
Android Tuner (I use Pro but you can use normal for this as well)
BetterBatteryStats
*Please backup your apps when you remove them. Also after removing several system files please reboot and wipe cache/dalvik before noting phone performance.

Some Tips from Me for What It's Worth:
-If you're not sure you'll use it then freeze it first -- there is nothing worse than removing an app and discovering not only that you needed it, but that it is a pain to re-install
-Making a system app a user app is good for battery saving because it can be easily greenified
-Get 3C Toolbox Pro: not only does it remove and backup software it also optimizes libraries, cleans deleted data to speed up read/write times, controls kernel settings, and can be set to automate tasks. It is amazing software
-RAM Usage is handled differently in Lollipop because of ART so this list is not used to free RAM. This is to freeze applications that would take up resources that we don't use or want running
-If you follow this guide and remove all of these apps I highly recommend clearing cache and dalvik--a few removed apps is fine for ART but if you remove a lot of them it is important to give it a clean database to start with. Then run TRIM with 3C or something similar
-Support the devs! Don't thank this post, thank the dev of the ROM you are using and consider donating to them! Note 4 users are incredibly lucky to have so many talented developers. Show them that they are appreciated!

Will be doing this when I get home from work. Thanks!

I'm excited to hear about your results. Please post them good/bad/or indifferent and if you encounter any problems try to let me know what the circumstances were. My hope is that we can get to a point where this information could be used to strip down a ROM and let the user put back the particular software they needed and nothing more.
Also if you have any suggestions to submit for removal and you know what feature it is a part of just let me know. :good:

I have found removing one of these files has made the recent app button almost instant. I don't know which one is the one that made it faster.

Unused ram is wasted ram

Very cool. I hadn't tested the multi-task button since doing my slimming down, but now I am going to try it out.

Unused/unwanted programs waste my RAM.
Compare two setups. The first is stock software exactly the way it comes with Facebook, ChatOn, Hancom, Twitter, Air Wake Up, Direct Answer, etc. Many of these programs you don't use are set to launch at boot. You can verify this by checking the Startup Manager tab of Android Tuner. On boot stock RAM usage is full of programs I don't necessarily need running in memory and the Android OS has to use its memory management routines in order to close those apps and fill the RAM with apps I launch.
The second setup is my setup which boots with on 908MB of RAM used and the RAM is filled by programs I launch and want to stay in memory without having to close other programs in the background that Samsung gave priority.
(less programs closed = less CPU routines = lower battery usage)
Which setup is more efficient for the end user? This post isn't about stripping it down so I don't ever use the RAM, it is about creating a library of information about what these programs do so users can remove what they want and run a system tailored to their needs; not the needs of the many.
Edit: is anyone running pure stock and can tell me what RAM usage is on a clean boot? I genuinely cannot remember its been so long.

UPDATE v1
-Added some new descriptions/explanations
-Discovered error in original list "com.sec.android.app.SmartClipService" is part of S-Pen feature. I put mine back.
-Added some references for where I found my information
-Added a few people to the 'Thanks' section. Take the time to thank them when you can!

Thanks for this! Now, just to be sure, if i remove/freeze all of those under "Reference list/apps removed", I won't lose the "functional features with my list" features??

I'm glad I could help!

I did add a few back that if removed would break certain features, but the descriptions are bolded. Otherwise, yes if you remove things from the reference list it should still function similarly to mine.
However, if you run into anything weird using that list (force close/crash/unusable feature) let me know so we can track it down and know what it does.
Edit: @gretschpr you MUST install Viper4Android before removing AdaptSound and SoundAlive so that you have a mixer control installed. Otherwise, potential force closes.

Much thanks! I'll give it a try!

Hey guys
I don't have a T-Mobile note 4 but I have and N910G which i have been debloating since day one.

X-Note Restart Method 3.0 (com.xnote.reboot)
This is pretty much a debloated X-Note Rom. The reason why i use X-Note is so that I can have a black theme (settings menu, dialer, etc).
After a fresh reboot RAM usage sits at 1.17GB after 5 minutes of idle time. After some use (phone calls, facebook, messenger, etc) it sits around 1.4-1.6gb. After a day or so, it sits around 1.7gb. At which point I will just reboot the phone (I usually do this in the morning after a fresh charge). That being said, you don't need to reboot the phone and it will perform smoothly for days (never gone more than a few days without having to reboot for one reason or another - usually flashing stuff lol)
After I have sucessfully used the phone with frozen apps, after about a week or two, i will remove the apps permanently from the rom. Currently the system Rom partition has 2.16GB free of 3.7GB.
Let me know if you have any questions and i apologise if this post is not suitable for T_mobile devices.
Thanks,
Ed

This is a great list! Had about 20 that I didn't know I could remove. Total of 184 apps when I boot up very nice!

That sounds about right!
It gets addictive trying to figure out what can and can not be removed. haha

Thanks for this list, my phone seems a bit snappier now and no fc's.

I'm glad to hear it! Keep testing and if you see anything strange please report it so we can pin down what app it is. I'm going to revise it when Lollipop comes out, but it will require EXTENSIVE testing. Enjoy!

Awesome. have been looking for something like this. I am stock rooted Tmobile Note 4 and since I am in India I do not need ant tmobile stuff. An list where I can find tmobile apps which are safe to remove.

Restricted profiles not available on my Nokia Streaming Box 8010

Hi all
As the title is suggesting, I'm looking for a way to activate/sideload restricted mode or parental controls on my Nokia Streaming Box 8010. It's going to be used in a bed & breakfast and I don't want visitors to be able to install apps or change settings.
Unfortunately, the Nokia Streaming Box I bought, doesn't have restricted profiles or parental controls in its options menu so I'm looking for an alternative.
It's running running Android TV 11. If it can be of any use, it's running software version 11.8.4674 and kernel-version 5.4.180-ab4674

Any suggestions, maybe from other Android TV's or TV boxes that have the same limitation? I can find a lot of topics online about TCL devices that don't have this functionality either, but nobody has been able to find a solution so far it seems.

Did you check if profiles could be set up using adb?
Android ADB and user management
⚠ This article requires Rooted Android phones, please follow the instructions with caution. BackgroundSince Android 5, the Android system have added the capability of multi-user, the aim is most likel
jiangsc.me

That's a great suggestion. This solution looks promising.

Probably will first need to set the property:
fw.max_users
because it is not set. Then, it should work. Did the brief test below. It switched to the user "test".
Code:
YYJ:/ # setprop fw.max_users 5
YYJ:/ # pm create-user --restricted test
Success: created user id 10
YYJ:/ # pm set-user-restriction --user 10 no_install_apps 1
YYJ:/ # am switch-user 10
YYJ:/ #
And the PIN will need to be set after the first switch to the restricted user profile.
After it was setup for the first time, then it could be controlled in the settings menu.
