I want to remove the "Walmart" stuff and any other bloat ware crap it dose not need. I just purchased it to play money making gaming apps but I can't play them on it do to it being "Android GO" so I will just remove the crap and use it as a e-reader and a way to keep up with notifications from my phones for when they need to be charged.
Is there a way to remove the bloat ware please. Thank You!

Hi
I was wondering if there's a workaround in how to remove preinstalled apps from kindle fire. It's frustrating as I wanted to give Fire's to my kids and I don't really want them to have FB access. I thought I could control what apps live on the Fire but apparently Amazon has decided for us. I wish this had been on the product page.also it consumes a lot of RAM.
Thanks
Root it & utilize an app like Titanium Backup to freeze or remove the unneeded apps.

You do realize that the FB app on the fire just points to the site using the browser, so even if you remove the "app" they can still use the browser to get to all kinds of stuff right including Facebook, twitter, adult sites and much more? Not sure of the age of the kids, but this is a media device and as such, they will have full access to a lot of stuff you may not want them to access.
The FB app itself doesn't use much RAM at all since it is not really an app.
Thanks A lot krelvinaz

Try this app. It works great & you can control what your kids can get to. I intend to set it up on the ones we got ours for Christmas. They will only have access to the apps I load up for them. I did try to install it on my Droid X & it just locked it down at the loading screen. I had to connect the thing to the computer to uninstall it!! One tip, don't lock the home button. The home button will get them to the regular home screen, but they'll still be locked out of any unapproved apps, even without that home button locked.

I think you can do something with the hosts file too. Like how adfree blocks ad sites, you might be able to edit and add facebook.com in and it would stop it from working, browsers too.
Hello I just got a Samsung Galaxy S4 today and I've noticed it has a lot of bloatware it's not the samsung stuff that bothers me it's the others, is there anyway to remove this easily (preferably not rooting) The apps I want rid of are ChatOn, Help, Google, Google+, Messenger+, Talk, Chrome, Play Books, Play Magazines, Play Music, DropBox, Flipboard, Tripadvisor, Amazon MP3, Ebay, O2, O2 Space, Earth and google settings.
Thanks !
Well you can flash a pre-rooted debloated ROM such as Wanam's ROM, or else you can root your phone and debloat it using Titanium Backup. There is no way to remove the apps without rooting your phone.

Not sure what phone platform you're coming to Android from, but there's no problem keeping all these applications on your phone and simply not using them. The phone does not have limited space for apps, and these apps don't slow down your phone when you don't use them.
If you're really fussy, you can hide applications you don't use from appearing on your application menu. In your app menu press the menu button and go to "Hide Applications...".
Many of the applications you've mentioned are system apps, which mean they're in the system partition - in other words they are part of the actual firmware. You can't uninstall them without root, but as I mentioned there's no reason to do so. Just don't worry about it.
yes these bloatwares doesnt really bother me much due to high RAM available, unlike the phones i used before like the xperia arc s.
i have been switching back from messaging and high end 3d games with no issue. im still on where i left the game, so i guess theres still more ram available.
The phone has a quad core processor, 2gb of ram, and you're complaining about bloat!? What it can do against you!? It's just an app in the drawer...! Just disable it in apps management. It will be there. But not in the app drawer anymore, and it don't need root. If you tell me is about memory, I'll kick your a** if I ever meet you one day.

If you do not wish to root go ahead and disable any apps you don't want to use and you are pretty much good to go. The only reason you even need to do that is some apps are called automatically when you start others even though its an app you may not use. Some will also light up and phone home looking for updates. Disabling them will prevent that.
If you do root and delete something that you later want most of them are either available on the market, Google or Samsungs.
Welcome to the dark side.
The first thing I do when I buy a Sammy phone is to root and debloat those ****s they put inside. As if I can't go to google play to install

Just goto settings ....application manager and disable the application. This will prevent it from running and will remove the icon from your app draw. This will also prevent the app updating from the market which does take up user memory

You do realize some of us delete bloatware simply because we don't need it, right?
So I've read a bit about this device and it seems like it is what I want in terms of minimalist approach.
I realize my question probably won't have an answer until some folks get their hands on this device but here it is.
Will it be possible to remove system apps, like gmail, and some other google apps without root? Really the only thing I use root for anymore is to remove carrier and/or google apps that I don't use and have no desire to have taking up space and running in the background.
My dad has purchased a few of the 10.1 inch tablets for other members of our family, and I've been tasked with setting them up.
Is there any way to remove the Walmart branded stuff off of this thing? Especially the Walmart button in the Navbar?
If this were for me, I'd just look to root and installed Lineage OS, but since these are for someone else, I just want to get the stupid Walmart stuff out of there and make things as simple as possible for them.
Happy to provide more information as needed.
Thanks in advance!
Use Link 2SD to freeze the four apps. You can also freeze a WmApps to disable the icon, but I don't know yet if it'll take a hike. Will know after a bit probably. Both of my tablets are acting weird atm.
OK, got it. Disabling WmApps leaves the Walmart icon on the navbar but it locks the tablet instead of showing the four Walmart apps. If you leave WmApps enabled but freeze the four Walmart apps, the icon will bring up a "favorite apps" screen, presumably with whatever apps you want to move to it.
I could use it as instant lock myself.
I was hoping to get rid of the icon, but yeah, I already disabled the other apps. That'll have to do.
Thanks.

Hi, I tried to use Link2SD and it seems to require root to freeze app? I am ok with using the * button for favorite apps.
Thanks!

Anytime!
Yes it does require root, which has caused me some issues itself.
Have a good weekend!

Is there a preferred procedure you can point me to for this? Really appreciate it!
I posted a bloat remover script at https://github.com/ikluft/ikluft-tools/blob/master/scripts/bloat-remover-onntab.sh for use on Linux or other Unix-like systems. You must have ADB, and may (or may not) need root access on your desktop/laptop system to run ADB. It requires developer access to the tablet, but not root. (This doesn't remove the Walmart button because that changed in Android 10/11. I saw others posted examples for Android 9 in other threads.)
I have just purchased a walmart 10.1" Model 100003562. (Pro Tablet)
it has Android 11 software and is got the out of the box software including the walmart apps.
I would like to remove the walmart apps and the spying software for the camera and the microphone. I have not yet allowed it to connect to the WiFi to update or have allowed it to identify a google account.
Is there any hope? I have searched over and over for hours for some kinda of guide on what to do with this tablet and I haven't come up with a rock solid description of what I need to do.
I would be extremely grateful for any help and wouldn't hesitate to donate if I need too. I have a few days left with it before I can return it and get a refund if I accidently brick it or if its just impossible to make "clean"
Thank you much.
I thought I'd share my method to remove the Walmart button for others searching. I had removed some of the bloatware using the GitHub script posted. Put that button was still there. I'm using Nova launcher. But I imagine this should work with the stock launcher. You can just get rid of the navigation bar. Enable gestures in settings. This completely removes the navigation bar. The gestures are working well for me and are intuitive. It looks great and clean.
As per the title
Trying to strip down the tablet to the bare as not used for gaming more for daily day to day stuff and streaming. Googled what is safe to remove but just gives list and dont know which is safe to remove and which is not.Doing it via ADB so I know they can be restored but is there a 'safe list' Removed most of the samsung bloatware I know and some google stuff
Any list or suggestions let me know
Cheers
