Well for me, I've deleted the sprint apps, voicemail, ect. Though I did keep the sprint connections, to supposedly automatically connect to the best network. Deleting some of the integrated kies apps i know i won't use. I can manage my own media on my own.
Though kies air was pretty slick, letting you browse your content via a web browser. May keep that one.

didn't like me killing ChatOn, but other than that, no complaints from the system.

Some of the ones I got rid of too; though try to keep your list in the OP, so its easy for everyone to see and not scattered in posts.

Yeah, a list in the OP would be nice.
You can add ChatOn to the list, just with the caveat that it will freeze the phone for a few seconds while its service dies. After it dies that once, you should see no more problems with it.

Bump. No one is deleting bloat? Please share...
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I am honestly not deleting bloat because there is already so much space haha.

I have also noticed some proprietary apps returning. I created and filled a folder, called it 'bloat' and moved it to ext sd card and the apps still show up in the drawer. Gmail, media hub and more. Happen to anyone else?

Thanks for the share...
I've cleaned up a little bit my Player after obtaining root privileges, this thread will help you if you want to do the same.
So, below is the list of the stock apps of my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 that I've freezed using Gemini App Manager (see attached apk, it is a free app).
Disabling those apps is good for me, but may not be good for you. The reson for this is that I don't use social services and don't own a google account, I try to use free software and avoid proprietary ones (as much as it is possible), I will try to warn in parentheses if you may need the app, but not when the name of the app says for itself (e.g. YouTube), just keep them if you use them.
For the open source and free apps I would greatly recommend the F-Droid repository, enable Unknown sources in your settings, install the F-Droid apk and use that app for obtaining free software. You can also add the Guardian Project's F-Droid repository into F-Droid's repositories list to have more nice apps.
I would recommend not to immediately remove the apps that you don't need, freeze them, let some time to pass, then you can remove them if everything is OK. Here is my list of the freezed apps:
Code:
AccuWeather.com
Adobe Flash Player 10.1
AllShare
BadgeProvider (Keep this if you use the Gmail app)
Books
Calendar (I use the [url=http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=calendar&fdid=com.droidwave.offlinecalendar&fdpage=1]Offline Calendar[/url])
Calendar Storage (Don't disable this if use the Calendar)
Call settings
ChatON
Clock (com.sec.android.clockpackage)
Clock (com.sec.android.widgetapp.analogclock) (I use digital clock)
com.sec.android.app.lcdtest
com.sec.android.providers.downloads
Dialer

Downloads
DRM content
DRM Protected Content Storage
Dual Clock
EA Games
Email (I use [url=http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=mail&fdid=com.fsck.k9&fdpage=1]K-9[/url])
Factory Test
Gmail (I don'y use it)
Google Backup Transport (I don't use Google Backup)
Google Calendar Sync (I use Offline Calendar)
Google Contacts Sync (I don't keep contacts in my Player)
Google Partner Setup
Google Search (I use [url=http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=duck&fdid=se.johanhil.duckduckgo&fdpage=1]Duck Duck Go[/url])
Google+
Home screen tips
Kies air
Maps (I use OpenStreetMaps using [url=http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=maps&fdid=net.osmand.plus&fdpage=1]OsmAnd~[/url])
Market (I use the [url=http://f-droid.org]F-Droid[/url] repository for installing open source and free software)
Marker Feedback Agent (Don't disable this if use the official Market)
Market Updater (Don't disable this if use the official Market)
Mobile tracker

=================================
As nobody replied i tried do UnFreeze a few apps at a time and none worked to get stock email back. I then frozed them back, apart from Samsung Account, Samsung Apps & Samsung Apps UNA2 because it restored security options 'SIM Change Alert' & 'Remote Controls' and 'Samsung Dive'. Also got 3rd party email app AquaMail that can do with 2 free accounts or paid for widget & more accounts.
I have been using Ubersync for quite some time, because I liked the options of using better resolution/file size of facebook profile pics for my phone contacts, but recently, Facebook tightened up it's restrictions and these apps will no longer work. Unfortunately, most of my friends are not on Google + nor do they have a profile pic for their google account.
When I tried to use the facebook app for my contact pics, the resolution was even blurry when viewing as a small bubble icon for text messages. I could not find any other settings to enhance the pics, so it was very disappointing to say the least.
Just thought I would share, for those of you who have root access, there is an app which will allow you to somehow bypass facebook restrictions and use nice clear pics for your phone contacts from facebook. The app is called Social Contact Photo Sync
The developer responds quickly to inquiries. There is a free version in the play store (with ads) or you can buy the paid version to remove ads. Just thought I would share with anyone who has been annoyed with the recent facebook restrictions and does not want low resolution pics for your phone contacts.
