Dear brother 19a,
i deleted my sammyapp with absolutely no repercussions. Although, i ended up re-installing it because i found out there were some pretty bomb apps on there specifically for the and note & s-pen .

I'm unlocked, and rooted. I just want to get rid of some of the bloat. I don't want to flash a custom Rom, yet. With other phones I remember just renaming the apk file. I can't quite remember how to do that. Also how would I do it with titanium backup? I see the is an option for freezing apps, but it seems to be to freeze all apps, I certainly don't want that.
Is there a list out there with all the apps that are safe to rename/ freeze?
Any help would be appreciated

Alright, freezing with titanium is simple. You can just go to the list of apps, long press the item, and then select freeze. If you do a batch freeze, it's faster, but this is just as easy. As for the list, yes, it's in the forum.
EDIT: Here's the list.
You can check out this tool. It's a script that will remove all the bloat for you.
You can also use it as a reference on which apps are safe to remove.

Yeah, that's easy too. I would suggest a nandroid backup before you do this one, though, just because I heard it doesn't allow everything to come back if you rebloat. But that's a good list of stuff you can freeze.
put your phone in the freezer for an hour. That should be long enough.

Check in the CleanTool thread in the dev section, between Scott and myself there are several lists. My list is all preinstalled packages on the Rezound, with apk, package name, and "normal" name.
My suggestion is to build a list of the packages you want to ditch, then move them to a separate directory. Reboot and make sure everything is still working the way you want it to. That way you have the package backed up in case something goes wrong.

OK, I went in to the list of apps (while in TiBu) I went under the backup restore button, long pressed apps from there, but there was no option to freeze, tons of other options. Am I looking in the right place?

I believe you need the paid version to freeze but you can uninstall the bloat you don't want for free. You could just backup the apps you remove before you uninstall them. Or get the key on the market for a couple of bucks and then freeze them up.
Freezing apps with titanium is a paid feature. I think Root Uninstaller has a freeze option that might be available. Or you can just remove them if you know you don't want them.
Just click on the app in the list, the option isn't under the long press menu.

OMG I can't believe I couldn't find the freeze option until I read your post. LOL Thanks for explaining (what may seem to you like) the obvious cuz I totally missed that short press option!

freezing is a paid feature, but defreeze is a free featuer though it says it's a paid feature.
If you haven't bought TB I'd def recommend it. It's one of those things that you just have to have when doing the root thing. I bought it like 2 years ago and I still use it ALL of the time
Also, if you're running ics, it's a built I'm feature. You just go to any apps details and disable it.

You need to uninstall any updates first for the crapware apps then the disable function will be visible in stock ics.

Now that we have root, Thanks to the awesome Da_G, I would like to know which bloatware is safe to remove from the AT&T rom...
I have Titanium Backup, and have frozen a dozen of obvious apps or so, but it seems that the list of installed applications and services is in the hundreds...
I am not sure which ones are safe to remove, and the ones that would affect the overall phone functionality.
Anybody has a list of the applications and services that can be safely frozen or uninstalled?
Thanks!
I uninstalled att messageing app without root.

Well, are you using a different messaging app?
Are you loosing any functionality without it?
(SMS, Voicemails, etc...)
Any other apps worth removing?
Thanks.
Voicemail and message work fine.

Freezing with Titanium Backup is the best way -- that way the next time you update your software, they are still frozen.
Cool. Ok, I'll do that. Thanx

You still can uninstall the apps with free version.
Or you can use the bloatware removal tools

If your phone is already rooted and you are willing to take one more step, try one of the Omega ROMs. They letz you choose duifng installation what bloatware to install and what to omit. And you can always install previously omitted bloatware afterwards.

Have been using TiB for 2 years now and never had a problem because of frozen apps. But you have to know which app to freeze. Freezing is just like uninstalling so be careful with system apps. Normally rather than freeze, I just uninstall apps and restore from backup with data if required. But you can freeze apps like Maps, may be useful for that.

It also helps if You have multiple launchers, You could freeze the launchers which You don't use, Which will lead to a better battery life and user experience
Always making a backup before doing anything helps a lot .. You'll need it trust me ^_^
Good luck

Only noticed this app after the latest update (546 USA Unbranded). Titanium Backup shows it as Get More 1.0.A.0.0. I also saw it in the security menu as in the screen shot. Does anyone know what this app is?
Screen shot
Unfroze it, It is a buggy app that shows tips on how to use or setup your phone. Is half-baked, very annoying.
Thanks. Is it safe to remove via titanium Backup, or would you recommend I only freeze it?
Hello. What did you do in the end? Remove or freeze? Thanks

You can safely remove it using Root Explorer..
And i have seen one app called Clean Master. There is no need of that app in our Z2 dude. These types of apps needed for small device like Samsung Galaxy Y or Sony Xperia Miro etc..
I ended up removing it no problems. Backed it up with titanium Backup, and uninstalled. Haven't noticed a difference yet so I'd assume it's just more bloat.
