Rooted

(instructions for those who are unrooted below the Rooted section)

Here's what I've uninstalled using the Debloater v3.7 (thanks @gatesjunior) and files I've removed with Total Commander (free version) with the Total Commander Android ADB v7.4 Plugin. FYI I replaced the ADB and two ADB DLLs in the plugin's bin folder with the latest from the Android SDK 21 for Lollipop and then it started working.

Here are lists, Google Sheet lists and downloads in 7-Zip format. Download the free 7-Zip or ZArchiver from the Play Store to extract what you need. The reason I use a different format than zip is because 7-Zip compresses better and also so people don't think these are flashable zips.

To restore these files, after extracting what you need, copy or move them to the equivalent folder in your root. I.E. If it's in system\priv-app here, it should go in root\system\priv-app. After copying or moving all files that belong to the app(s) you want back, change the files' permissions to be the same as other files that were already present in the same main (priv-app, app, etc) folder or subfolder.

Unrooted

If you don't root 23B, the only option to debloat is to Disable stock apps through Androids interface.

There are additionally at least two pre-installed apps that can be totally uninstalled:

Farmville

&

iHeartRadio

iHateBloat! Uninstall those the normal way to uninstall Android apps if you don't want them.

If anyone notices any more, please post about it.

How to disable apps:

1. Go to settings by swiping down from the top of the screen and choosing the gear-wheel in the top right corner above the notification toggles.

2. Scroll down to the bottom of the "Device" section of Settings, choose "Application manager". It's the second one from the end in that section, two up from the "Personal" section.

3. Swipe left three times to the "All" section.

4. You can click the three-dot menu at the top right and sort by Name or Size.

5. Click an app you hope to disable. Some apps don't let you disable them.

6. I chose "Force Stop", "Disable", "Clear data" and when necessary "Clear cache". Note that sometimes one of these options will take care of some or all of the rest, but definitely not always in my observation.

7. Press Back to get back to the apps list.

8. Repeat steps 5-7.

You can swipe left once more to see all the apps that you have Disabled.

Following are screenshots of the original list of apps that can be disabled without any trouble or rooting.

In name order:

@hokiealumnus was nice enough to type out the names of the apps so you don' t have to bother with the pics. His list is -><- in post #4 below. Thanks @hokiealumnus!
