Thanks to the OP for this!

Question does anyone have a list for the VZW variant of the Note 5? Thanks!

Does debloating the phone help with RAM management?
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrlooolz:
Remember, you are just disabling the programs. its different that rooting and removing but i do think it helps.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mbolinao:
I installed package disabler pro and disabled tons of "safe" packages to disable, but my system ram usage is still huge. It's just the same when i don't have this app yet. Any tips?
[Galaxy Note5 General] user68734:
I found that my team usage went down after re-enabling some packages i had previously disabled. Some have suggested that disabling certain apps leads to slowdowns when the system tries to access packages that are disabled. The system waits for timeouts to occur. I would suggest only disabling packages you know you won't ever use, for example, hotels.com or the games.
[Galaxy Note5 General] edwardob:
so what are certain apps...... do tell us so we can all benefit?
[Galaxy Note5 General] plokm:
thanks

Got an update to Samsung pay. Now it is asking for me to enter a pin on a secure keypad. It doesn't work unless I enable all apk's. Anyone know which one it is for the keypad?

Update- found it. tuiService
[Galaxy Note5 General] Skhulile:
No luck, apparently it's a WIFI issue so i wanna use data now and see if it changes.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jordy787:
So how reliable is the extreme xml? Also what all would I need to enable for the stock music player and stock eq ? Thanks !
[Galaxy Note5 General] Racso562:
I concur with this. I did a factory reset on mine and it changed nothing, but I've been wanting to use up my last of my free 10GB of LTE from T-Mobile so I've been using my data instead of WiFi and my battery life has increased again. Not quite to the epic battery life I got the first day after disabling apps, but I'm at 4 hours of SoT with 31% battery left and almost 15 hours off the battery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] edwardob:
no need to quote whole op ! cluutttteeer up !

what you need to do is try it ... out and see if it works on your setup.... then gradually enable what you do need...

search works .also.....
[Galaxy Note5 General] Skhulile:
Yeap i've been using Mobile Data and the battery drain is better, i get like 4hrs to 5hrd SOT, but I'm using the S6 edge so a smaller battery, so it seems like there's something wrong with wifi, though what's annoying about Lollipop is the Mobile Radio Active bug so enabling mobile data leads to the bug using more battery, I used to use WIFI to get away from the bug but now both connections are buggy, Samsung really needs to fix this, it's annoying.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jordy787:
Thank you !!! any others you re enabled for performance ? thanks

Hi, learned a lot for your post, thank you.

I did not find the adguard app in the play store, where can I install it?

thank you
[Galaxy Note5 General] Rinoritze:
What I need to enable for changing the theme I get Samsung account error but l can't find it from the list.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Él chapó:
The Note 5 and S6 edge+ can't ever be rooted under any circumstance. If you do some google searches, it's something that was written about. Apparently it has to do with who they're trying to market the phones too. If I can find it, I'll post a link.

---------- Post added at 04:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------

Apparently I can't post the link, but it's in idigitaltimes.

So apparently it's for AT&T and Verizon. However, rooting any other version will trip the Knox counter. The article link is posted here.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Racso562:
Sudden Battery Drain

Hi all,

I posted a while ago about initially getting great battery life and then having it suddenly drop off back to normal. I had done a factory reset and disabled apps again, and I got pretty good battery life again (4-5 hours of SoT and about 25 hours off the charger). However, I noticed that there were two T-Mobile apps I haven't disabled yet:

com.tmobile.pr.adapt

com.customermobile.tmous.proload

After disabling these two, I noticed that my battery life went back down. I'm down to about 3.5 hours of SoT and 15 hours off the charger. So I'm guessing these apps actually might help battery life somehow. Can anyone else confirm this or am I just going crazy?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jordy787:
I just disabled them and will see how it goes ! I remember there is a package that if you disable it reduces the performance of the device ...I'll try and find which one that was
[Galaxy Note5 General] Racso562:
Good point! I actually kind of forgot about that. I'll look through the thread again and see if I can find it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jordy787:
Should be on last page I believe :p
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Without having to scroll to all the pages, [MENTION=4246110]rlsroufe[/MENTION], were you able to identify packages which when disabled negatively affect scrolling and other UI behaviour?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jordy787:
Enabling those that you said and what the other guy said ,seems that the battery isn't dropping percentage quick
[Galaxy Note5 General] jordy787:
So something that I disabled removed all the camera modes and whenever I try to install new ones they do not show..anyone know what package it is ?

Edit: nvm shooting mode provider was it
[Galaxy Note5 General] 3473:
I can't seem to 'sort by date' in the Gallery anymore after using the standard XML

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Stixxbixby:
Great thread! Gratitude for all of the comprehensive info, I've read every page...

Simple inquiry - does anyone know which package affects the option to specifically pin an action memo to the homescreen?!? That option has seemingly disappeared while the other choices remain.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Nosferatu.:
just a public service announcement...

I started having some ridiculously crawling times on the Note 5. I was wondering if something went wrong with something I disabled. Come to realize an app I opted to try completely screwed up the phone's speed. I uninstalled it and voila back to happy speeds. App was Clean Master (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&hl=en)
[Galaxy Note5 General] s.dollar:
i think it's recomended
[Galaxy Note5 General] danon.brown:

[Galaxy Note5 General] nexxusty:
Still rocking 2 days of battery life on the regular thanks to this thread and the OP.

Im no longer worried about having to replace the battery in this phone at any point. As long as you PROPERLY use and charge it a Liithium ION battery actually lasts a very long time. 10's of thousands of charge cycles AFAIK. However most people I talk to about batteries still "Condition" their batteries.

Back in 1995 this was a good idea with Lithium Polymer, Nickel Cadmium and NiMH batteries..... with the advent of Lithium ION's we all need to change our battery charging and recharging habits.

A few tips.... If youre ever storing a battery. Drain to exactly 40% and store at room temp in a dry place. Do NOT regularly use the battery past 10% or 5%. If youre always charging your batteries when your phone is on the last few percent you will kill the battery quicker. Finally, the biggest no no is people worried about draining your phones battery before charging again.

This only applies to old batteries as well, you should always give a Lithium ION battery a top up whenever you can. Charging your phone 10x in 10% jumps or less even, will not harm the battery. They were designed for this.

Take care everyone!
[Galaxy Note5 General] sshafranko:
I stopped worrying about how long my batteries will last after i realized how long I've owned my 2 S3's which my daughters are now abusing with movies and videos. ..had them since new I'm guessing 3 maybe 4 years now? And they're both still on the original batteries. ..i think we'll be ok
[Galaxy Note5 General] rflmnz:
Disabling all Samsung features on Note 5 to save battery... Why spend $700,00? You guys could get this one:

[Galaxy Note5 General] edwardob:
because a debloated note 5 is still better than that.....

why don't you buy one of those and review it for us?
[Galaxy Note5 General] qum:
Nicely said. The best answer to such a question/statement.

Awesome man)))
[Galaxy Note5 General] JasonJoel:
Not all, just the ones I don't use... Not a hard concept to understand, really.
[Galaxy Note5 General] manishvy:
I hardly noticed any difference in battery after disabling bunch of apps..looks like wasted 2$ purchasing PackageDisabler ?

Finally uninstalled it
[Galaxy Note5 General] edwardob:
'hardly ' implies you got some difference!

as saying goes.... your mileage will vary!

depends on phone.... carrier.... many others reasons

even not using app correctly!

but no one can help you with' bunch of apps' as it doesn't mean a thing
[Galaxy Note5 General] manishvy:
I did what exactly mentioned in first post. I used xml provided to disable services/apps. Earlier i was getting 4-hrs30-min SOT..with those changes i got 4-hrs45-mins

Really 15-mins ??

Again i did everything mentioned. .dark theme applied all the time, location off etc..
[Galaxy Note5 General] edwardob:
so you Did see improvement!

I saw 1.5 hrs..... work for me....

everyone uses phone differently...... so drain maybe nothing to do with stock apps... or way you set them up....

Time to look elsewhere for you I'd say....

rooting? change kernel..... dozens of options..
[Galaxy Note5 General] manishvy:
Yeah..waiting for Marshmallow. .lets see if it brings any improvement to battery. Otherwise ill go for root.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tgtoys:
It's probably already been mentioned, but one of the easiest ways to get a boost in battery is to take advantage of AMOLED. Settings > Themes > Material Black (NOT dark, only black with hex #0000 will truly keep the pixels off to really save battery), go through any apps you have and enable dark mode (Textra, gReader, Reddit Sync, AquaMail, etc), enable a mostly black background (I find Space backgrounds to be the best looking, solid black with some stars and a rocket is my style and works great), Nova Launcher set drawer background to solid black...things like that.

I still want my Note to be a Note, so I disable a lot of the extra crap that doesn't affect functionality. Air Command auto wake (when you remove spen), touch sounds, app ops on MOST apps (I prefer updates when I open anyway, don't need constant background updates on most apps). Every little bit helps, and still retains full functionality and reasoning for buying this phone in the first place.

Looking forward to going through this list and seeing where else I can cut some fat without any adverse effects, thanks for taking the time to put this together [MENTION=3801319]risro[/MENTION]ufe.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rflmnz:
One thing is disable some apps... I did it and I think everyone else has done it... But disable airwake, snote, air command, simlock (and plenty of others security measures) sound like craziness for battery life...

Do you guys have a cellphone charger? I don't think anyone here needs 12hrs of continuous usage... A half day of SOT is merely to show off.

Like another guy asked before "Don't you guys work?".

I said and repeat, why don't you guys just buy a cheaper phone? Ripping the Note 5 "anorexigenously" like the more basic guide here will just give you a copycat of Note 5... Weird...
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrlooolz:
No such theme as material Black, I found one material dark! is that it ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] JasonJoel:
No... Material Black. It's in the theme store for me under All $0.99.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kinglifer:
Sick. I never knew about this. S Health good by forever!

I wonder if there is an app that does the same but just blocks the loading of apps. This seems to make facebook act like its not installed. I would rather it block it loading. I rooted a note 5 and it started rebooting not all the time but when it was just sitting. I returned it and got a new one and just left it alone until there is a clean root method. Unless I over looked one.

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

When I am working on set for film we do not have time to charge the phone. And power supply could be way back at holding that is no where near location.

So yes I need a long charge. On my note 4 I found the battery charger I purchased started to make my stock battery drain even faster when I was not using it. But I got a full day of straight usage. Then again I rooted it and have things tweeked.

I work so much that when I get home after a shower I pass straight out. I actually use my phone all day for work
[Galaxy Note5 General] tgtoys:
No. Material dark is good looking but because it doesn't use a straight 0000 hex color it is not true black, therefore the pixels still illuminate and don't offer the full power saving of the AMOLED screen. Keep looking, material black is there for .99.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Tricks25:
Question to the OP or anyone using extreme debloating.

Hows the performance of the phone? I mean as far as ive read through the thread, you had almost disabled every apps be it user and system apps. So, wouldnt that take a performance hit? Wouldnt touchwiz become "slower" since it tries to "read" some apps especially system apps but it couldnt read it since it was disabled.

I hope anyone gets what im pointing out as im just curious and want to disable apps too especially the ones im not using. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note5 General] madkhaz:
not able to find any material black. only material dark exist
[Galaxy Note5 General] Beagles329:
It's there, you just need to search for it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] madkhaz:
maybe it is different by model number and region? i used n9208 duos. that's why i can't find it
[Galaxy Note5 General] kirasan13:
This is note 5 section sorry
[Galaxy Note5 General] Jmgilliam16:
difference?

Is there a difference in disabling via the package disabled app or via the application manager?

I was going to disable dt ignite via app manager and then just did it while I was in pdp and when I looked in manager it was gone but it also wasn't in the disabled section of the native application manager....

[Galaxy Note5 General] Abstrk_2dx:
If you used a debloat zip just look at the updater script
[Galaxy Note5 General] billykxda:
I've known about this app for a while, but still I just disabled the apps I didn't want running the manual way. I keep all the apps that make a N5 an N5, it's the VZW crapware that has no value for me. But, not all VZW crapware can be disabled via the manual way. So I just bought this app simply to turn off some annoying apps that can't be disabled any other way.

It's well worth it for me just to chuck that handful of annoying carrier apps!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] shegeloaf:
Make a version for disabled services please.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Digitalkarma:

[Galaxy Note5 General] killacamron:
Hey guys first off thanks OP and everyone else for the knowledge! I used the basic xml in the original post and just have a question about fast charging. It doesn't seem to switch to cable charging once above 80% battery, does anyone know if this could cause damage to my battery over time? Phone is working amazing aside from that, getting 6-7 hours screen on time.
[Galaxy Note5 General] toskabab:
I applied both the basic and then extreme files and did a reboot. Everything works fine except now I get this red frame around the screen border that flashes in and out every time I switch screens. Any idea what that may be and how I can get rid of it? Thanks.

Edit: Nvm. Just turned developer settings on and off, cleared cache and rebooted. Problem went away.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kaodd:
right man, but it works very well on my Galaxy S5 Neo :)

so thx for ur fine work

[Galaxy Note5 General] zmokez008:
Didn't use a debloater zip just tried disabling stuff and just asking if someone knew what could i have disabled for my quick charging capabilities to be turned off
[Galaxy Note5 General] toskabab:
I actually ended up having a lot more issues than I first realized with the extreme package and my note 5 became about as functional as a first generation iphone. So I re-enabled everything and just disabled specific verizon/amazon/samsung bloatware (about 45 packages in total) leaving everything else intact. I also installed greenify and selected to hibernate everything I didnt need running. I now get a battery life of about 30 hours with all radios always on, 1.6gb free ram, and my phone is fully functional when I need it to be. I'm done tweaking this thing.
[Galaxy Note5 General] metal_god69:
I currently have 64 apps disabled and am also done tweaking. I'm seeing 1.4-1.6gb free of ram and everything is running great. The biggest battery saver was disabling Facebook and it's messanger app!!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] andylow4421:
Not sure I disabled which service, right now my flip cover screen on/off does not function, any clue
[Galaxy Note5 General] Nosferatu.:
likely nothing...I thought the same thing. Charging CABLE is crap that comes with the phone. Try a different usb cable plugged into the fast charging plug and see if it works. :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] zmokez008:
Will try using other cable later...by the way is there such brand for a high quality usb cable?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Nosferatu.:
I don't think it's something of needing a high brand cable but that the OEM cable is cheap junk
[Galaxy Note5 General] toskabab:
Before you go buying any new fancy cables just export your packages to an xml file and re-enable everything to see if that fixes the problem.

[Galaxy Note5 General] manishvy:
Man..looks like you messed with some required system app..... try clear cache / factory reset from recovery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] thermax04:
I used Package disabler pro 4.1, when i choose system app i can not find uninstall option (remove not disable), just found silent uninstall (as in pic), but that option gust disabled the app!! how i can uninstall (complete remove to save system memory space) apps?
[Galaxy Note5 General] toskabab:
The short answer is, you can't. If you could, we wouldn't need this app. The silent uninstaller is only for user apps which you have downloaded yourself. There is currently no way to uninstall system apps till we finally achieve root.

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

If you see silent uninstaller as an option on a system app, all it does is uninstall any updates to the app. It will not remove it.

Yes I expect everyone to customize their list how they want. This is my personal list so I disabled stuff I never use, not just the "bad" apps. I dont use stuff like Google music and Whatsapp so disabled it. Enable what you want to use. Except the Facebook app, keep it disabled because it sucks lol.

[Galaxy Note5 General] MrAwesome75:
After taking the steps listed in the OP, S-Note keeps FCing. Also, after reenabling "internet" it force closes as well. Anyone else having this problem? I assume it's because there is something else related that is disabled, but I can't figure out what it is.

[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
No problem with s note but I re-enabled internet to test and it does force close. When I have issues I just run through and enable a few of the apps I have disabled to see which is the problem. Looks like its Context Service is the culprit. I will do some research to see what it does exactly. Works fine if that is enabled. Let me know if it helps s note for you. Thanks, I will update my file in the first post to exclude disabling that app.
