[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fukenbiker:
The discussion I am searching for comes closest in the old "Holy Mother of Bloatware Batman" thread and I almost replied into it to ask for reports from folks who have done what I have and went a step further and actually uninstalled the system apps instead of just freezing them.

I have AT&T S4 and used Adam Outler's "Casual" tool to get root and TWRP recovery and have a 3.56 GB image of my device that I can restore saved in the phone and another copy on the SD card and also a copy saved on the PC. I did the backup in the custom recovery. I like the "windows" theme of TWRP as compared to CWM. Performing the backup took a little while but worked fine.

Then I installed Titanium Backup and started freezing system apps, and the long list looks similar to what's displayed in the OP in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249581 "Holy mother of bloatware batman" thread.

I've been using the handset with out any problems for over two weeks now. I was even amused to follow up reading an alert I saw from the NRA and installed the Gun Geo Marker app from the Play store. I read all the horrible establishment propaganda in the app description, and then explored the app itself and discovered an error because I have something frozen. I was able to send in the error report and I included my free and independent thoughts in the error report, on how important it is for all of us to keep and bear arms to prevent the very tyranny they're pushing (as if I were making a difference LOL).

All of the important apps I use like Root Explorer work just fine.

And thank goodness I was alert and had AT&T's software update frozen, otherwise that unrootable update would have pushed into my handset over the airwaves.

I've been searching around here for the best place to discuss actually uninstalling these system apps using Titanium Backup so I thought I'd start this new thread. In yet another thread I found using "search" I saw someone state that using the function in Titanium Backup to uninstall these system apps I have frozen does not free up any memory! Is this true?

Here's what I have frozen and have been just fine living without so far:

Last week I got an error about displaying HTML 5 when I was going to share the video about the $100,000,000 penny embedded in my webpage http://lango.us but it was an isolated incident. My handset has been up for weeks and after rebooting it this morning I tested that and it worked fine.

Also note that I do not participate in Facebook and I'm sure some users would not want to shut off quite as much as I have kept frozen with Titanium Backup.

I saw in another thread that using Titanium to delete these does not free up any memory. My hope is those that have been more bold to go where I have never gone before could report their experience. So far I suspect that I am right where I want to be, just keeping them frozen. I realize a custom rom will free up phone memory, just to clarify.

I've flashed plenty of handsets, but I don't want to hear about a custom rom for the S4 if I lose all the giggles I get from the Universal Remote in WatchOn.

Is there no benefit to downright deleting? Sounds like the consensus is just to keep them frozen. I saw another post that indicated to just delete it as it can be re installed from the Playstore.

I bet I can free up some space with Root Explorer, but I KNOW I'll be flashing my backup image repeatedly if I start experimenting with that! I would love to hear from someone a little further along than I am. Thank you. There's got to be someone who's tried this, and can list certain files or even entire folders I can delete from the root of the S4.
