Doubt it will work on a mac unless you edit the .bat to .sh and edit the entire file to reflect adb.sh instead of adb.exe if there is even such a thing.

Just an FYI, by removing Calendar Storage you are going to run into issues the second any calendar event tries to run. I deleted all of my calendar stuff last week and my phone went bonkers (acore process errors like crazy) when it tried to let me know of some event coming up. If you don't want issues you should probably reinstall or unfreeze Calendar Storage. It doesn't take up that much space anyway.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
You make a good point. I haven't added anything to my calendar to see this be an issue. I do believe you though. For the time being, you can restore any apps removed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784891

I will edit the script in the all in one tool to not remove that apk. at some point.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xkwr27:
I don't use anything to do ioth calendar.

If no one beats me to it on Sunday when I have free time I'm going to make a list of all system apps what they are/do interactions and removability. Also there were some sys apps I left that that could have come out but I couldn't find reliable info on their function, but I am happy with 149 out of 333 sys apps gone.

Sent from my SM-G900V
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Syn Ack:
Yeah I don't do hardly anything on the calendar either but there are apps that update the calendar by default so you probably don't want to eventually run into the errors down the road when it happens. It took me about a week to happen and it was someone's birthday from Facebook that had loaded it.

So far everything has been good.

UPDATE!

The Security Policy Update app still runs every now and then asking you to update to the latest security. I froze mine but you might want to consider adding the removal of the APK to your script because a lot of us don't want the update ever in case it locks us down from rooting or safestrapping, etc. Totally up to you.

The app is called SPD_v2_1402_4_1 and it is located in: /system/priv-app/SPDClient.apk
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I'll add this app to the all-in one toolkit bloatware removal section.

I can work within the phone enviornment but no luck pushing from outside in.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xboxexpert:

adb shell su -c stop

adb push dexopt-wrapper /sdcard/

adb shell su -c cp /sdcard/dexopt-wrapper /system/bin

adb shell su -c rm /sdcard/dexopt-wrapper

adb shell su -c chmod 644 /system/bin/dexopt-wrapper

chmod what ever permissions 644 should be good but I'm not sure for that specific file. basically its copying to /sdcard/ which then copys to /system/bin. I was unable to copy outside in.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Didact74:
That worked, thanks.

Odd that you cant write directly to /system any longer. I tried again on my S4 just to make sure I wasnt crazy and sure enough I can adb push directly to /system on that device. Its a little more code but if it works I will go with it, thanks again.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ergalthema:
So, is this a good list of what I can safely freeze with Titanium Backup? Or is there a better list somewhere?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
How do I set up the batch file so that I can export to the root of my external SD instead of removing it? Also, I'm not following what the significance of why you striked out some of the apps, are we supposed to not remove those because of force closes? And any idea how to fix the photo studio drawing app (I've already excluded the PhotoStudio_FHD_K.apk).

Is the AIO more up to date in bloatware removal than this one, and does it export/backup the apks that are removed from the phone or does it delete them as well?

Having two threads makes it a bit confusing to follow, all I want is a master list so I can look through (and try to decipher what things are) to see which apps I want to keep/remove, and to export the removed ones to my extSD.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
The Toolkit gets rid of everything this does excluding (Chrome, Smart Remote, SHealth and SVoice). It will also ask you if you want to save the .apk's before removing them. Which then puts them in a separate folder in the toolkit.

Also, if you want to make a "custom" debloat list, you can just edit the Debloat.txt file in the toolkit. It reads from that file and removes apps line for line. If there is an app in there you'd like to keep then just delete that line in the debloat.txt. It's that simple...

This Debloat script just deletes all the bloatware. Very useful if you want something quick and easy to remove it all with one click.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] con100:
Same here. Had a tornado warning a few weeks ago and it never went off. It did before rooting and running the batch.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
It's PhotoRetouching.apk (com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching) but it's not on the debloat list, I'm not sure where to get this apk, or what app is removing it.

Edit: I figured it out after a few hours of process of elimination. It's /system/app/SPenSdk3.apk. I don't drink though :P.

What are the crossed-out files?

@ xboxexpert, I have read through this thread but I still do not understand what the crossed-out apps are - are those apps that should NOT be frozen/deleted?

For example, in post 22, you state " I also striked out the ones already mentioned in this post." However, it's not clear what you meant by that post.

If someone could clear this up for me, it would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] elliwigy:
it is clear because the striked out ones are what he says are ok to remove.. not sure if hes been around by my "Purge" script is more up to date.. there is some things can be removed that he doesnt have striked..

but i assume the apks mentioned in that post he is saying were already striked meaning ok to remove already
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] JOLiu:
[MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION], thank you for replying and for clarifying. As far as your thread goes, I assume you are talking about one: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/zip-t2979275?

For your script, is it up-to-date for Lollipop? Also, rather than purging/deleting files, I was wondering if the same can be achieved by freezing these apps via Titanium Backup. My concern is that, if the files are all purged, how would I get those files back should I ever need them again?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] elliwigy:
ny script is for kk but most of the apks are the same name so they are still safe to remoce.. i would freeze them however if you might need them later and sve the hassle of tracking them down later..

the script itself will not work on L to my knowledge but the same stuff if present in L are safe to purge. i also have a debloated odex rom which has many of the bg apks still there
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] DeadMoneyDrew:
WARNING: n00b question ahead.

Will this script still work with the latest Lollipop update
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
No, the system structure is totally different.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] elliwigy:
i wonder if simply removing the apk extension and updating any file names would work to remove the folders containing the apk altogether? on a deodexed rom? if so, would be an easy fix
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I'm not sure. I haven't had a chance to do any modding to lollipop yet. I just got CM12 (5.0.2) on my Note 4 DE the other day and haven't had the need to debloat anything from it. I'm still waiting for lollipop to drop for the retail to play with it because my son who has the only S5 here hates 5.0 and won't let me play.

Is it possible to get a description of what each app does attached to this list?

I like the default gallery because quickpic got all shady, and well, it works well enough for me. If I'm correctly reading the descriptions of what some of these apps do, some of the apps removed on this list are associated with the gallery and or camera and I don't want them messed with. I imagine there will be similar cases with other apps in this list. Can the script be modified to not mess with the stock camera/gallery stuff?

Maybe this a totally moronic question but is there a way to run this script without connecting the phone to a PC? Like, using this script in the recovery menu?

Thanks much for the list. It seems to be THE list.

Apply towelroot (reboot)

Install xposed framework (reboot)

Search for email patch in xposed modules, then install/apply module (reboot)

Open email, add account

When it came to security screen the app crashed

Load app again, works perfectly fine now.

Also - important.. There is no generic tablet 'functionality' loss by tripping Knox. For those of us whom intend to use Knox in an Enterprise setting, this Bit is important. But otherwise, the tab should work as intended, without the Knox features now that you have tripped the counter.
