What the heck is this, and how do we disable it
its listed as com.samsung.map and I don't see where its located so I can disable it, Google Maps is always running its location service so I'm not sure we need this other one.
Have any of you found and disabled this with no ill effects?
This might be only ICS related, I don't remember this on GB

I've seen it in TiBu but haven't tried to freeze it or anything.
Tibu?

TiBu = Titanium Backup
It's an app in the market that requires root but allows you to backup various aspects of your phone.
I haven't seen a list of bloatware / AT&T apps that are safe to remove. So I thought I will ask:
- Which apps that you know are NOT SAFE to remove?
- I keep seeing in the task bar a double-arrow icon, indicating that an AT&T app is checking for software update. As a matter of fact, I did receive a message from it about a new software update. Which .apk I need to disable for this?
Again, this is only for the bloatware.
I deleted everything that had at&t in front of it. At&t messaging, my at&t, at&t navigation and the at&t update services thats the blue and red arrows you are seeing. I did this through task manager.

Thanks for the info. No problem so far with freezing these AT&T apps, including AT&T Update Services?
BTW, when you said "delete", did you mean "freezing it with Titanium Backup" or you actually REMOVE the .apk?
I froze the above apps using TB, but it is still shown in Google Play as being installed and needing update.
You can search XDA for "apps safe to remove". The SGS-II forums have a spreadsheet that works for the note.

With Google Play, the feature to DETACH from Market no longer works. So even if the app is frozen, it is still shown in Google Play, especially if there is an update.
This applies to ALL bloatware. After a while, you'll see tons of these in your Google Play list and you no longer can select
"Update All".
Can we SAFELY move the .Apk from /system/apps?
I deleted them. I froze them first and then deleted ecerything with at&t on it through task manager.

I delete a majority of the bloatware, especially if I know I will never use it.
How did you DELETE these built-in apps?
There is NO uninstall feature, even when accessing it from System --> Applications --> Manage Applications.

If you have root on your phone, many third party apps will allow you to delete them. A popular one around here is Titanium Backup. I highly suggest installing this and purchasing the key (although the free version will work just as well). Its a staple in apps to install for rooted phones.
I deleted them through task manager. I used the uninstall feature. Try it.

I use titanium backup to uninstall what I don't want, you have to be rooted though.

Can I delete Social Hub without any problems?
Sent from my Galaxy Note like a boss!

I have removed Social Hub without issue
Sent from my G-Note Beast.......
same here, social hub deleted and no problems........and of course all the AT&T crap since I'm with TMobile
Just a helpfull hint for safety.
Personaly I would use titanium backup (in batch) to freeze apps you may want to uninstall.. leave them frozen for a few days to ensure there are no problems.. if once your sure there are no problems you can uninstall them (delete).. Uninstall can be done most of the time though the task manager .. but if that does not work titanium backup will most defently do it..
As someone else pointed out.. I did a search for i717 app safe to remove and got this nice spread sheet..

How can I delete YouTube?
Hi Friends,
I am using Samsung galaxy S plus (Android 2.3.4) rooted, looking some way to uninstall preloaded applications.
wondering if there is any way to achieve this.
am sorry if the same question has already been asked, I am new to this community and after searching did not find anything satisfactory.

Use Titanium Backup. Then just convert the unneeded 'system apps' to 'user apps' and uninstall them..
I would recommend you to use 'freeze' option before deleting the app, in case you deleted system critical app you would have still a chance to revert. Freeze the app then use your phone normally, if everything goes normal then you can safely delete.
hey guys thanks for the reply i found a free app which moves system app to user app.
app name is "/system/app mover"
which work for almost every application

would be ideal to decide for their own applications to be installed during the first ignition.
I am frustrated by how slow I9300 is to respond opening phone app, camera, etc. I am using Apex launcher on stock and am rooted. Anyone know of a way to keep certain apps on the top of the stack, so they will open without having to load from flash memory?
Search for xposed framework

As the title states, I have been away from the android rooting and development scene and things have changed. I have read about apps and a script that will backup bloatware apps and then remove them, how has the experiences been with these methods as opposed to using titanium back up and doing it individually? I don't care about custom rooms or the sorts just don't want the crap on the device. Thanks in advance.

NoBloat Free by TVK Development works well. Just be careful and don't delete any system apps (Android guy icon).
