[Q] Getting Rid of Bloatware - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have the stock 4.0.4 ICS on my 10.1 (rooted)
I have seen people mention that if u get rid of the all the bloatware and overclock slightly that it makes a world of difference in speed.
My question is what is the bloatware? I haven't seen any references to specific apps and was wondering if anyone could post a list of removable apps.
thanks

bloatware are nothing but waste apps which are provided by samsung like picture editor etc.. plenty of us wont require these and they use ram all tmne and makes tab buggy ......use titanium backup to delete these apps and be careful while doing, always backup ur apps before removing ............overclocking makes a difference but not much so never worry about that since u r on stock ics .........since our tabs have enough speed i wont recommend OC

HELP

Sometimes maybe when I switch kernels I don't know some of my downloaded apps disappear from my app drawer but when I go back to install it 3rd party apps it says do you want to replace an existing application, which means I still have the app but not in app drawer until I reinstall.
Sounds like you're switching kernels too much...haha. What launcher are you using? I know that I sometimes have to restart LauncherPro in order for it to catch up with hard changes I make to the filesystem(removing / adding apk's)
Holy **** punctuation man! If you are having an issue, restart your launcher. If you continue to have an issue delete and re-install the apps that say they are installed.
I have only switched kernels once and i am using stock sense.

I won't pull the craphead move and say I don't know anything about Sense ... so I'm out. I will however say that if the apps still exist in /data/app then you can try a Titanium freeze/unfreeze (or adb pm disable/enable) to see if that brings them back, otherwise the best I can do is to say make sure you backup before you make changes like the kernel so you can back out if it produces unexpected negative results.

[Q]About homescreens.

Hey, so I'm kinda wounering about something, I currently use only 1 homescreen, with a wallpaper of my girl, and I dont wanna add moer widgets to don't cover her face and part of the photo, so I created a folder with shortcuts to the things I want. But since android can't allow to organize the icons inside the folders you create on the homescreen, I wanted to know if adding a new homescreen with those shortcuts, would drain battery? I want a 100% sure answer please.
Thanks for the time reading, and I don't need answers like "search forum", "noob", etc. Cause i've searched in alot of places and one's says: "Adding homescreens won't drain battery", others says "the more u have the more battery is used".
So i want a 100% sure answer on the matter. If you don't know, don't reply please.
EDIT: Another quick question: Does the android phone starts to get slowly sometimes? Does it needs reboot? From which time to time? It's like a computer? Because on symbian it was always on the same speed, on my android I notice hes getting some kind of sluggish behavior.
Idk about that..
But u can try another folder Apps like Simi folder or folder organizer they have many great features

Using that I will be using another non-native app, and wasting more battery life
Adding an extra homescreen wil take up some battery but NOT DRAIN
And the system might be sluggish because u must have not used it for some time

Thanks. I'm still in that phase where I want to try to save some extra battery. But from here on one or 2 weeks i'll realize that the phone will never handle more then 1,5 days, so eh . Even setCPU is like a placebo effect. If u still play a bit of a game or use this or that you still drain the same battery. Only helps maybe on calls, temeperature and whatever
Exxactly....u can do whatever u want u are not gonna just simply keep ur ace lying there..battery will drain...
placebo
setcpu works for me
cpu max-245MHz
cpu max for games -825MHz
The battery drain shouldn't be very noticable

Keep Stock Samsung Apps when flashing Custom ROM?

Whats happening Forums,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 running the latest JellyBean ROM from SAM MOBILE,
I'm thinking about switching to a custom ROM but most remove "Bloat Apps' Is there anyway to keep the apps?
Also maybe keep gesturing and things like that?
Please post Helpful replies below.
Sorry, but what's the reason to switch to custom ROM, then?
You can MOD the stock... one of the benefits is to keep the stock apps.

There are many reasons to switch to a custom rom just switching to one gives me a TON of benefits such as
Manually Deodexed
Rooted + Busyboxed + Zipaligned
XXDLID Modem
Siyah 1.6.8 Kernel
ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.1.2
Super SU v0.97
4 Way Reboot
Extended Toggle
Disable increasing ringtone
Hide sms from call logs
Enabled More Toggle on Stock Status Bar
Center Clock
Shutter Sound on/off
Volume up/down key as Shutter
Exit browser option
Added Call button on Contact
Call Recording
%Circular Battery
CRT effect (with no flicker)
GPS Fast Lock
Colored SPlanner
Popup Browser
Scrolling Wallpaper
Added 4way Rotation
Added Lock Screen Rotation
Support Custom Boot Animation
Fixed Cell Standby issue
Added More CSC (Default BTU)
Activated Smart Rotation
Unplugging from USB doesn't turn on Screen
Auto EFS backup (/sdcard/Darky/EFS)
Bloatwares Removed (You can find the Removed Apps in /sdcard/Darky/App)
Skip Music Track with Volume Buttons Long Press while screen is locked
ROM will wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Darky Boot Animation
Some of these i cannot find as MODS,
Part is included in stock roms. Part is available as mod... which one is impossible to find for you?
BTW, some examples are... ridiculous. as an instnce: what for do you need GPS fast lock? My SGS catches lock within 4 secs inside the building... Same, scrolling wallpaper. 4 way rotation... you mean: in 3D space + time?.
Cell standby issue - I did not observed any issue here.
Similarily:
ROM will wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

- where's your problem with the wipe from CWM??? Is this a MOD? RLY?? So, you want to do it automatically, with the frequency of? 20Hz?
and, last but not least: please have a look at the term which describes your requests:

You know, I'm old... but I still remember the good times when kiddos got a bike for their 6th Birthday. I'm sure that you'll not believe how much simpler it was, as they knew what to do with the toy... and what to expect.
Finally, bcs I'm tired and bored: flash stock ROM, backup requested stock bloatware on card with Titanium Backup, then flash whatever you want, Lumia 800 Win 8 even, and restore the apps.

The question is how can i take "Part" from the stock rom over to the custom rom
Just go to "kitchen" .. and choose your desired system.

Wow thanks for the deep insight but i just copied and pasted what was included in the ROM from the page, thanks for helping anyway and unfortunately not all the "bloat apps" are located there which is okay ill take a look into the Kitchen thing as well as simply backup with titanium backup but i am worried about compatibility.
Mysterious link to ROM's kitchen
BTW: have you decided to keep the bloatware, as in first post, or to remove it, as you stated in third???

wt do these mean plsss ???

hi guys,
wt do these stand 4 plsss "debloated, deodexed & de-sensed" ???
thnx
:cyclops:
Debloated means the carrier apps and other system apps that are useless to most but can not be uninstalled unless you are rooted. Deodexed is something that allows for easier theming. They say odexed roms are faster with loading apps and stuff but not by much. And de-sensed I would imagine it means they got rid of the HTC ui (sense) some people don't like it and believe it is to heavy and slows roms down.

Will add gltools titanium backup, a few nice launchers,xposed framework and some useful modules, youtube dloader, greenify etc.
and for google apps i will keep maps,play,gmail,play games,play music(if any1 wants)
I dont know how to add scripts and all so maybe i will just upload it seperately

but i will give theme support in my rom
so u can use cm themes and so on
rom will be made in 2-3 days
testing and editing may take a few more days since this is my first time
and uploading will be done the next day(i have to make accounts and such)

Titanium present for uninstalling apps and any purpose(to keep all apps and data even after rom changing)
video player replaced by mx
as for link2sd it will not be required since i will be providing swapper which swaps internal and external so no linking required
if some one doesnt want to use swapper he can use fooldermount(i found it better than link 2sd)

I have removed as much apps as i have added
i hv never used or made aroma scripts.
ill see about separate zip file for installing user apps
dont worry about ram as i have put apps that dont consume more than 5 mb
and there is always greenify(i have 126 user apps including whatsapp hike messenger fb and so on but hv 200mb free)
i will mention the user apps(which can be uninstalled easily as normal apps) Eg-FB alternative so u can uninstall it if u dont want it
apps wont exceed 3 pages in launcher
I promise speed because i want to use it myself
App suggestions(any dialer alternative or some thing?)
