[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] hotplex:
Hello fellow S7 users,

My phone crapped out a few days ago and the only backup I had was corrupted. It was maddening. I spent countless hours over four days to get my phone back to my preferred bare bones configuration. The long process involves uninstalling a bunch of apps, restarting phone, and then cursing myself when it bootloops. The cycle of returning to stock using Odin, then reflashing this rom and uninstalling apps went on for way too long. I basically ruined my weekend with my partner over this pursuit.

Anyway here is the list of apps I kept/disabled using a combination of Titanium Backup and a file explorer to delete apps in the system folder. The rest of the apps that came with the Rom is gone. I replaced many stock apps with better 3rd party apps such as the default messenger with Yaata. Although I appreciate the Lanc control and Minit apps, I preferred the Xposed mod Flat Style Bar Indicators. Hope this helps someone else and if anyone knows what other apps can be removed without affecting function, please share. I don't want to spent another hour restoring things from Odin after uninstalling the wrong app.

KEPT (I'm sure some are unnecessary)

NOTES:

It's been over 48 hours and I don't have any real issues. SMS and MMS are working, calls are good, etc. Make sure you grant restored apps various permissions or else you might, like me, spend too much time troubleshooting Tasker.

Initially there was a problem with SystemUI forcing close after getting notifications from one specific app, leaving me a black screen with the only option of restarting. It eventually resolved itself (or maybe I wiped cache and rebooted).

Battery life is normal, I lost 2-3% power over the night. It's a combination of Greenify , Amplify and AppOpsXposed. I also converted Google Services into an user app with Titanium Backup.

I do have a problem where Bluetooth doesn't remember previous connected devices after a restart. If anyone knows how to fix this, let me know.

MTP transfer isn't working after I restored a bunch of apps. It's not a driver problem. Laptop recognizes a phone/media device is connected but nothing pops up. In the phone, it is set to transfer files not just charge. Any advice is appreciated on that front.

Another issue is InstallerOpt which stopped displaying new version pop-ups after I restored a bunch of apps. It must be another mod or app that's interfering. Again, if someone knows how to fix this, pleases let me know.

Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll try to check back now and again. For now I got work to catch up on!

Happy customizing everybody. Thanks Lanc_city and XDA.
