GT-S5282 - Apks safe to delete/freeze - Samsung Galaxy Star

All,
I have a rooted GT-S5282 with Android 4.1.2. I keep the phone for backup in case primary phone has a problem. It is also occasionally used for media playback.
I wanted to trim the phone down so that the performance can be improved (both battery and speed). After a detailed research on the "Internets", the following are the apks that can be retained/removed/added. Few of the apks are frozen just in case they are required in future but are safe to remove if you do not need that functionality.

Kinda useless to ask that as people cannot guess which apps you use or not.
User apps are entirely up to you which to uninstall.
System apps you have to be careful cuz uninstalling can cause major problems. Just Google each system app to see if you can find what it is and if you can uninstall or freeze it. There is a thread somewhere on XDA which lists most of the system apps and which you can uninstall.
The search button is your friend.
Try this thread.

Delete bloatware on Xperia S

Hi!
I've finally managed to root and update my Xperia S. Now it's time to remove some bloatware, but I have no idea what is save to remove. When I had the Xperia Arc I had found a list of bloatware but I don't find one for the Xperia S.
Somebody has one or can make one?

Firstly, SEARCH the forums and READ. I spent about 10 minutes and was able to find a lot of information about the question you are asking. The other thing is, if you don't know what something is or what it does, and more importantly, how to fix it when it breaks the rest of your phone DO NOT TOUCH!!
A lot of what you have listed isnt what I would consider all bloatware. Its Android system apps as well as definite bloatware. If you are after a completely stock experience devoid of bloat consider flashing CM9 (ICS) or CM10 (JB - experiemental at this stage though) as it will be safer than removing apps you don't know anything about :good:
Also, don't just delete any apps - use an app like Titanium or Rom Toolbox Pro to freeze apps - that way you can restore them if you need to do a factory data reset and start again since you are still on stock. If you just plan on flashing already modified ROM's make a nandroid backup of the stock rom and flash away.
My personal method for stopping any apps from running I don't need is with Root Explorer and I add .bak after the file or apk - that way its still there should I want to do a full factory reset without drama's and it prevents the app from unfreezing or causing problems by just removing it.
Before you do ANYTHING however, make a full nandroid backup of your system!
AntHalService - ANT+ service - heart rate monitors etc. Do not remove if you use such apps and addons.
AntStateNotifier - ANT+ service - heart rate monitors etc. Do not remove if you use such apps and addons.
ApplicationsProvider - Applications Service Provider (ASP) personally I would leave it
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter - Bookmarks Sync - only remove if you don't sync your bookmarks with Google.
Facelock - Security app - safer to leave installed.
FbCalendarSync - Xperia Facebook Integration - Only remove if you don't sync Calendar app with Facebook
FBIAppShare - Xperia Facebook Integration
FBMediaDiscovery - Xperia Facebook integration
FBMusicLike - Xperia Facebook Intergration
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter - Calendar sync - Only remove if you don't sync Calender to Google server
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter - Contacts sync - Only remove if you don't sync Contacts to Google server
GoogleLyricsPlugin - Walkman plug in
GooglePartnerSetup - Unknown, safer to leave installed.
HTMLViewer - Unknown, safer to leave installed. (Depends on where you look as some say safe, others unsafe...your call)
Keychain - security app, from my understanding provideds method for managing certificates etc. Safer to leave installed.
LearningClient - Learns user typed words from keyboard, only remove if you don't use that function.
MediaProvider - Media storage, ringtones, music, notifications. Do Not Remove.
MediaUploader - Media uploads, but will cause errors with media playback (won't work) if disabled/removed. Do Not Remove.
NoiseField - Live Wallpaper
OMAClientProvisioning - OTA Network settings download. Safer to leave installed.
OMADownload - OTA Network settings download. Safer to leave installed.
OmaV1AgentDownloadServices - OTA Network Settings download. Safer to leave installed.
OneTimeInitializer - Unsure, but has something to do with Play Store. Safer to leave installed.
PhaseBeam - Live Wallpaper
PicoTts - SVOX Text to Speech - Only remove if you don't use navigation, translators etc.
PowerSaveModule - Unknown - Personally I have stopped it with no issues.
ReadyToRun - Unsure - Google/XDA Search reveals that its tied in with surface flinger and/or SMS message retention, either way safer to leave.
RemoteControlService - Decide for yourself: http://developer.sonymobile.com/2012/02/29/new-remote-control-service-on-xperia-smartphones-video/
SecureClockJava - web clock service needed by DRM
SemcClock - Clock and Alarm - Only remove if you want to use a third party clock and alarm app.
SemcCnapProvider - Required by System Do Not Remove - again, quick Google/XDA Search reveals this is tied in with baseband,dialing features.
SemcContactsProvider - Contacts Storage - Unsure, personally I would leave it, unless you use a third party app.
SemcDlna - Media Server
SemcDlnaHandover - Media Server
SemcMusic - Walkman
SemcPws - Unsure - Safer to leave
SemcSetupWizard - The initial startup screen when you first boot into your phone when its new or factory reset.
SemcTvLauncher - Connecting to TV
SemcVideo - Video Player
SettingsProvider - Stores your settings - Do Not Remove
Stk - Sim Tool Kit
Storefront - thirdparty apps installer, I have removed this without issue.
Tag - Used by NFC
Talk - Google Talk
TalkBack - Talkback - Accesibility Options - Personally I remove it.

Here is my list of apps I have succesfully 'frozen' without issue on my device. I sit happily with around 280-320mb of free ram (but in Android thats not such a big deal anyway as any unsued ram is just not doing anything.) I also have disabled fast-dormancy as my provider doesnt support it properly yet and having it on the device can cause battery drain problems. I don't use Timescape at all so its all removed. I also disable the following as well for fast-dormancy:
Code:
/system/etc/fast-dormancy
fd_custm_conf.txt
fd_ext_conf.txt
fd_int_conf.txt
/system/bin

Again best thing is, if you do not understand what something does leave it alone! As I found with a quick bit of searching many people have different opinions as to what actually constitutes 'bloatware' so don't follow blindly or you may brick your phone!!
I am not responsible for any errors, heartache, bricking, or otherwise problems you may have as a result of the above advice.
You mean simply adding .bak to any apk would freeze it??
Can you just give me an example??
Use the thank button, it's there for a reason

The list of apps I provided above - I use Root Explorer and simply rename each like this:
From: EventStream.apk
To: EventStream.apk.bak
Changes the actual icon of the file - you could put anything after .apk and it will prevent them from running as its no longer a valid file format for Android. BUT..best thing is it stays where it is originally located, and it doesn't lose its permissions either.
Bit more fiddling around than Rom Toolbox or Titanium but I prefer to pick and chose what I am doing and rather read about each .apk as I go through them one by one. Also allows me to do the same thing to any .odex file that may be there as well.
Ultimate cleanup tool is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349568

Developer Options crashes on open

Hey guys,
I did a heavy debloat on my Note 4 running MIUI 9.
I'm pretty happy with the result except the Developer Options not working.
Anyone know which app is responsible for that I might have removed?
