[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Inline:
Put this list in the OP, and then just update the OP as people contribute more safe things to install - that way people don't need to scroll through the thread to find everything and it can all be in one place.

Great work on having the initiative to start this - these are always useful especially before there's a lot roms out that already take it all out/for people who like to customize their own stock.

*Probably should just change title to

Removable Sprint/Samsung Bloatware or something since you already got started on the list :P
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] monkey3ddd:
Out of paranoia, I just freeze instead of uninstalling. My $. 02.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hermeticist:
The more I play with this rom, the more I like the multitasking features like expanding windows. Also like one handed mode.

I would love to be able to replace the notification quick settings with AOSP quick settings, and get an AOSP lockscreen, and AOSP phone and contacts. in a custom Rom

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

Basically get all AOSP features and keeping TouchWiz innovation.

I feel that if we could get rid of any Samsung market tracking apps, this phone would be even better!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuar9476:
I get that. The programs I uninstalled I have uninstalled for many devices and roms in the past. I just finally purchased the pro version of Titanium so I'm starting to freeze more and add those to the list. Once I see no problems after a few weeks I'll back them up and remove them.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hermeticist:
Can:

klms agenT

My interests

My places

be frozen or removed?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jauger:
I have the KLMS Agent on freeze, no issues...make sure to freeze com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation too....

Edit: found New Registration and RCPComponets are Knox related, froze both, got hung up on Sprint splash screen, had to do a battery pull ( not 100% sure its related as I had done other things) but rebooted fine and running with both froze...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuar9476:
I added these to the list
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hermeticist:
How about emergency manager service?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuar9476:
Something keeps throwing an emergency manager service error at me when I restart so let's freeze it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hermeticist:
Me too.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] gpvlog:
For those of you who have rooted your device and Titanium Backup can not access "Backup Folder" (can not uninstall apps), you can simply change the default backup location in the settings. Change it to something that is writable.

Since I wanted to write to the SD card I had to install the SDFix app to allow Titatium Backup to write to the SD Card where I wanted and it allowed me to uninstall apps from then there after.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hermeticist:
I didn't have an sd card problem.

ES file explorer, and titanium backup recognized the external card right off the bat.

The only app that is acting weird is Dolphin browser refusing to let me change external sd download directories.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuar9476:
I too downloaded SDFix and backed up to my SDCard
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DimeDrl:
What does the Amazon Preloader actually preload?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Fangs87:
Is the connections optimizer bloat? Or is there a bug in it, it keeps shutting off location services randomly. I get it may be trying to save battery live but when you over 30% over 50% and over 80% i don't see why i keep getting notices location info was turned off. I think it still "may" serve a purpose of optimizing lte over wifi if the wifi is a poor connection and i have a strong lte spot but not sure.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuar9476:
I did some research and found you can disable it from within the phone under settings/more networks/moble networks ... I went ahead and added it to the freeze list.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Fangs87:
Yea i saw that also i was trying to avoid disabling it but it notifying me every so often it shut things down now i need to turn it back on to do something is annoying
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kul_dood:
I noticed that the icon for Google's voice search has changed after I deactivated the apps listed by OP. I wonder which one of the apps I froze led to this change.

To be clear, the app still works perfectly fine. Just the icon is different now. It has the white circle that it used to have overlaid with the red film logo that Google Play Movies & TV has. Looks weird :confused:

Edit:

It may have be due to my freezing ELM agent. I don't know what this thing does but it messed up the logo for Voice Search.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] twospirits:
I added the OPs list into a Google Drive spreadsheet, to make it easier for anyone to view, sort or add to the list.

Freezing issues anyone?

Is anyone having freezing issues?

I click the application and choose "Freeze !" and after the loading message it says that the application has been frozen, but on the list it is still black(instead of blued out) and when I click on the application again it still has the option to "Freeze !" rather than "Defrost !".

I've tried switching to "AUTO, Indirect" for the App processing mode, but that option just ends up hanging on me when I try to freeze. Reboots have done nothing and I have been Googling to no success..

Tempted to just uninstall the bloat since I have everything backed up, but kinda paranoid..

EDIT:

I found my problem. Turns out Titanium doesn't like to play with ART on the Note 4..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] billiamwu:
I found that freezing "EmergencyManagerService 4.4.4" interferes with enabling Ultra Power Saving mode.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chosenhobo:
good catch. havent used UPSM much but the times I have, it's been very useful. Good to have caught this issue.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chosenhobo:
WARNING

I just tried to use ultra power saving mode after unfreezing EmergencyManagerService 4.4.4

I was able to get into UPSM, BUT I had no home screen to work with, as well as no option to turn OFF UPSM.

I rebooted my phone and it started off normal, but once it gets to the "Spark" logo, it goes black and white, trying to go into UPSM. From there the phone hangs on that logo, and doesn't go any further. Attempts to pull battery and restart have gotten me the same results, so I effectively have a brick.

So word of caution: Don't use UPSM if you are going to freeze these applications!!

You should be able to enter download mode and use Odin to flash the stock tar

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chosenhobo:
Yup, thanks, already had it sort out. ;)

I'm having a feeling UPSM may have failed because of freezing Easy Mode launcher? considering the simple launcher layout of UPSM. It'd kinda be tedious to test out which application breaks UPSM if it causes a soft brick everytime though..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
And don't forget folks... ALWAYS make a nandroid so you have a good state to fall back on!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] billiamwu:
Yikes, sorry to hear that. I'm pretty sure I have Easy Mode launcher as well. I have UPSM turned on every night when I go to bed, and a tasker profile that activates it at 20%. Haven't had any issues thus far.

Making an additional one now to make sure it's not Easy Mode launcher.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chico1983:
Has anyone been able to successfully change the PRL
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t1337dude:
Awesome thread, good work. I'd really like to root and debloat but I heard the available roots trip Knox. I don't exactly know what that means, but I assume it means that I can't root the device without losing the ability to restore it to default and get it replaced through my warranty or total service protection plan. Is that right? So I would have to wait for a root that doesn't "trip Knox"?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] thearch1tect:
The odds of companies checking Knox status to repair is pretty slim. There have been people on XDA for other Samsung phones that have said they've had no issues of unrooting and going through the warranty process. YMMV of course but the odds of a root method that doesn't trip Knox is pretty slim based on the s5

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t1337dude:
I remember that when I exchanged my LG G3, I made sure to fully unroot and everything, but I only recall them briefly inspecting the phone before exchanging the Note 4, so I'm not *too* nervous about it, but it's something I'll think about first. I could always try a different Sprint store if the closest one doesn't work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] stanglifemike:
From what I've read over the last year since first dealing with Knox on the Note 3, services and/or repairs can NOT be denied unless they can prove the issue was caused by tripping Knox. Since I've always modded my cars and been present in automotive forums, many years ago I learned the same goes for automobile warranties. Unless they can prove the mod you installed caused the issue you're having, they can't deny you a warranty repair/replacement. Basically, if you install an aftermarket supercharger and later on your power windows stop working, your windows will still be covered as a supercharger is completely unrelated.

I have no worries about and trip Knox as soon as I can!! Lol :D
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuar9476:
I will add this to the list. Thanks for the heads up.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] billiamwu:
Good to know with the ART, thought about changing mine, but I'll hold off now.

I went back and double-checked, I definitely have Easy Mode uninstalled, but backed up in Titanium. Probably ART causing that?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hermeticist:
I believe ultra power saver mode needs simple TouchWiz launcher to work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chosenhobo:
it isn't art, cause I switched back to dalvik at that time. upsm booted, but like hermeticist was guessing, it had no icons to touch or anything(menu button all worked though, as well as recent apps) , and then I tried to force a reboot, which then cause the bootloops.

galaxy gear

does anyone in this thread on or use an original Galaxy gear? I disabled or uninstalled most of the things on this list, and now s voice does not work my galaxy gear. I will try to do some detective work and figure out what the cause of this is, but I am Not sure if I will be successful.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bishaarcc:
missing

Hello friends, I have rooted and installed the recovery, and I started freezing some apps. Now i lost the resize icon on the mult task window. For example, when u open two apps and you want to make one bigger, there should be resize icon on the left corner, so I'm missing and not sure how to restore. I already unfreezed all apps but still i cannot resize the mult windows apps but i can move them.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuar9476:
I don't use the milti-window so hopefully someone else can chime in
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bishaarcc:
If you don't use mulwindow thing, i wonder why u buy note4?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshuar9476:
So I can see my open programs bigger and not half the size
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bishaarcc:
If I only needed bigger screen, believe me I wouldn't get this phone. Not lines are not just bigger phones, they're also Notes!

Confirmed. I froze it on my Sprint Note 4, rebooted, and it still works!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kul_dood:
Any updates with the addition of the new firmware? I disabled the 2 new GearVR services that showed up and I'll wait and see if it impacts anything. I've been using the battery monitor widget and I've noticed that now whenever I use my phone, it's consuming battery at ~ 20-30% per hour, whereas before it used to consume ~10%/h. I'm seriously considering downgrading to the old firmware because of this.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hermeticist:
Damn. Mine has never even used 10% per hour unless I was using it constantly. Otherwise it might lose 1% per hour.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kul_dood:
I meant that as how much battery is being consumed while the screen is on. I didn't word my last comment properly haha.

Basically the phone idles at around 1% per hour and the usage increases up to about 10% power hour when I turn on the screen. It started increasing to 30%/h right after I odined the new firmware but this morning I froze the gear vr services with titanium and things seem to have calmed down. Still monitoring though. Don't want to say for sure just yet.

Image attached shows what I mean.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dmisselh:
Which services did you freeze?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kul_dood:
Besides the ones listed by OP, I also froze the 2 new gear vr services that showed up after the latest update. My battery drain has returned to what it was before I took the update.

I have no plans to use that vr stuff so I really don't need those services running in the background.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dmisselh:
I experienced the same problem, but freezing the VR Gear stuff didn't help me. I'm still consuming battery on screen on with at a very high percentage with the NK2 firmware. I'm considering going back to the ANIE firmware
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kul_dood:
Try freezing all the Samsung push services and other Samsung sync crap. I've also frozen pretty much all Google stuff except the play store, play services, Google services framework, search, text to speech, account manager, one time init, and partner setup.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dmisselh:
I actually turned off screen auto and my drain has subsided. Ive actually got most of that stuff frozen. That's why I was so surprised with the drain I literally hibernate everything with greenify and freeze everything I dont use. Another thing that may have helped is I did the lte fix. My lte was switching constantly between towers. I stick solid on lte now I never drop to 3G anymore now. Its actually pretty sad that Ive had to come here to find the solution to all my lte problems. Sprint was absolutely helpless in even suggesting anything useful. I may write a personal email to the dude that posted it Im so thankful.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kul_dood:
That's strange. I've had my screen brightness set to auto since day 1 and I haven't had any issues with that.

Oh well, whatever works for you.

S Health

Does S Health require any other apps to be unfrozen/restored to work? Mine keeps crashing since restore. I did wipe cache and data and kill the prog (as I saw suggested elsewhere).
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Try wiping cache in application manager... Or uninstall it and re-install through Galaxy Apps.

Does anyone know if there is a more recently updated list? Thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Johnny C:
I just got an 8Gb Samsung OEM 8Gb 150x SD card for my 02 Exec, but the XDA doesn't recognise the card, it just says there's no card installed. My PC can read and write to it find.

Can anyone shed light on this? Is there a max of 4Gb, is it the brand of card or do I need to do something on the XDA? I don't remember doing anything for my 4Gb cards, so I don't think it's the latter

I do hope it's not a 4Gb limit, as that means that not only will the 8Gb card work, but also it means the 16Gb and 32Gb cards Samsung say they will have on the market by the end of the year won't work which will be a major pain

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
Is it an SD, or SDHC? If it's the latter, it will not work.

If it's only SD, there have been many problems with cards above 4gb in many devices, not just PPC devices.

The success rate is not that high.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Johnny C:
Ah, I see. It's SDHC. What's the difference? Is it worth returning and changing for a normal SD?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
SDHC is high capacity, it requires fundamental different changes that can't be done via software updates to your device, so it will never work with it.

So yeah, I would exchange it. Personally, having seen the amount of problems people have had with 8gb cards, I would go for a 4gb standard SD.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Johnny C:
Oh well. The idea was to get as much music on it to save me having to buy an MP3 player but I guess that's not going to work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EastExpert:
4GB of music is approximately 4000 minutes (give or take) which gives you 67 hours of music!

I guess when you're done listening, you can copy another 4GB :) should take you some time to listen to all of this! :)

Why buy a device for a function you already have.

Google play Search: DimensionalFlux

Can't post link just yet.

Game Description (Short): Game that can be played Offline but has Online Global Events that users can update IF they want to participate. Online participation is encouraged, as you can get prizes.

RPG Components: Heroes can gain levels, obtain skills and equipment. Heroes can make a great difference in Battle.

Strategy Components: Build/Upgrade your buildings, Train Units and go into battle. Units are either defensive or offensive but can do either or. Training and Building has no waiting component. You build and train instantly.

Other Components:

Exploration - Random encounters, planets and other space/sci-fi related things can be found during Exploration. Exploration is also a more active way to gain resources! Wait Time: 30 Mins per Survey and Extraction Actions.

Battle:

Battle other players (offline battles online unless there is a PVP Event which uses live Player Data). Offline battle uses Player Data as well but not live data (data from last update). You can battle to gain experience and resources. Experience is gained per unit defeated so if you lose the overall battle you will still gain Experience. Battle Rounds stop at 30 seconds and you can choose to retreat or continue battle (by starting battle again using the button). Only reason to retreat is if you don't have enough resources to heal your units. Even if you are going to be defeated you will get Experience.

Current Events:

Hero Race - Level heroes to get points for Event. More points the higher your rank. During this event Units will not be wounded so you can battle without having to heal your units afterwards.

Upcoming Events:

Halloween Event - Boss Battle

Dragon Hatchery and Shipyard (Hatch a dragon or Craft a Ship).

[HTC One Max] abhishekpujar:
I got a HTC one MAX off of eBay and after receiving the phone when I was checking I found that the camera was not working properly (unable to focus with weird sounds, front camera works perfectly fine though) whenever I tried opening it, there was a strange noise coming from near the camera module. I have taken a short video and you can hear the sound in it and it looks like phone is confused as to focus or not. The sound is similar to a bee trapped inside the phone buzzing. Any idea what it might be? Hardware issue? :( Here is the link to the video.

HTC ONE MAX camera problem: http://youtu.be/MBK_en5izmU
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Looks like hardware. Have had my max apart a couple times. I think it would be easy to replace the camera if not under warranty anymore.
[HTC One Max] abhishekpujar:
Yeah I guessed so. You think the issue will be resolved by changing just the camera module? And how hard is it to take apart the phone? I have experience in taking apart phones, have done it with my droid DNA and lot of other models. I just want to check out what a making that sound. Thanks for the reply though.

I'm already on the latest software version. Ill try flashing another Rom and see if it helps else I will have to replace the camera module I guess. Thanks for the response.
[HTC One Max] abhishekpujar:
I tried several custom rims including AOSP and sense but can't seem to rectify the camera problem. Guess it's a hardware fault. Will have to change the camera module, anyone has any idea where I can get one who provides international shipping?
[HTC One Max] charliemasiku:
When you shake your phone you will see that the lens in the camera is loose. When you shed light on buzzing camera you will see it vibrating and stoping when you bring a magnet closer.

Phone vibrations over time tend to loosen the attachment of the lens in the back camera
