I use titanium backup but you have to make sure you have selinux set to permissive it seems for me at least to get good performance.

I have no issues, but keep in mind, it may effect some other apps which I do not use. For me this works perfectly fine, and I use my phone for mostly everything.

I have at least used titanium to 'freeze' the apps I intend to remove, make backups, and observe if any problems occur before removal. I also make a nandroid backup before removal for quick restore to a working rom. So far, from this list kindly provided, these have been disabled and everything works fine

Can we use this without root?

Yup

Stuff I uninstalled via adb (as root)
Here's a list of stuff I uninstalled using adb shell as root using the command:
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
Also note that after uninstalling this way the original apk files are still in /system/priv-app
If for any reason you decide you want any of these back they can be reinstalled with:
Code:
pm install -r --user 0 /system/priv-app/<package.apk>

Voice Out Small App, Simple TTS Client

I wrote a Sony Small App to use the Android built-in TTS engine.
It's basically a TTS Client and I hope that someone will find it useful!
It's free and Ad-free!
Download at Google Play
or
download the apk here: View attachment 2284311
Voice Out is a simple Text-to-speech client that makes your device speak texts with the Android Text-to-speech Engine (TTS). Your phone must be capable to run Small Apps and have a Text-to-Speech engine to make it work.
To check if you have a Text-to-speech Engine installed, go to Settings -> Accessibility -> System -> Text-to-speech output.
Tested on Sony Xperia Z Ultra with the following TTS Engines:
- Google Text-to-speech Engine
- Pico TTS
- Ekho TTS (余音), for Cantonese and Mandarin support
This small application access your device clipboard to get the copied text so you don't need to paste it manually.
This small application can be minimized or moved around the screen.
Small apps extension for Sony products.
For the users who doesn't have a device with Small Apps support can always try the Voice Out for Android 2.1 and up available here:

Sounds good but how do you use Google TTS engine ? I don't have it on my phone , is there an apk available ?
Thanks
That's strange, what phone do you have? Z Ultra?
Try to install the Google Search and see if it comes with the Google TTS Engine:

Honestly I don't know where the Google TTS came from, I though it was installed by default but now seems it's not the case.
I never installed a Google TTS apk but I installed the following apps from Google, maybe you can give them a try one by one to see if it comes with the TTS:
Google Search
Voice Search
Google Translate
Maps
Google+
G+ Photos
Hangout

I'd disable the Email app, but there were frequent popups telling me is crashes. So I just leave it enabled instead. Also I am aware what the Wireless Emergency Alerts is supposed to be about. It's not illegal per se to disable it, is it?lol
Well guys, you're free to add on to this list if you got anything else. STOP THE BLOATWARE INVASION!
Awesome... Now others can add their suggestions and we can keep the OP updated as we go.
Wireless emergency app will let you disable the Amber alerts, so you can keep the severe weather alerts going.
We might find a dev that is familiar with Verizon bloat and they may be able to help figure out what apps are and do, and what is safe to remove.
How to do this? pm command through adb? Or any app can help?
It is kind of weird since you can't do it through the launcher. Go to settings > application manager. Then swipe over to all to view all installed and system apps. Select them individually and disable them.

How to pack the app data and it's application in one apk? GoogleTransOffline portable

Hi! How to pack the app data and it's application in one apk?. Exactly Google Translate app, with it's data to use Offline.
I've been doing test to use my Google Translate Offline in others phone, I already downloaded the files that allow translate content in different languages, I've backuped with TitaniumBackup this app and the Google Text To Speech (TTS) for the native voice, and it worked perfectly, but you know that TitaniumBackup only works in rooted phones. I was wondering if is possible to pack the app data with it's application in one apk, and install this apk in any phone rooted and non-rooted.

Guide to settings stock to increase privacy/Secuirty? Which apps to disable?

I'm keeping my phone on stock for the time being because I don't want to void my warranty in case there's something wrong.
The apps I've bolded I'm guessing can be disabled, or removed by this method https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ . I'm wondering though when it tells you not available for current user, does that mean the app can still run in the background somehow?

Lol. Well, since $130 is nothing to you, then I'm sure you'll be happy to send me a replacement phone if there's a problem with this one.
Did u ever find the problem? Mine has the same thing, but I'm thinking mine is hacked as I know nothing about phones. But I do want my privacy since I am a grown woman. It's crazy I try to uninstall it and it just goes right back on. I also bought another phone in my friends name and when I get home it starts moving and downloading all this stuff and it wasn't even set up with play store yet. It's to the point I'm going to just smash it. But $1000 is too much to just throw down the drain. Please if anyone knows what could be wrong please let me know. Thanks in advance.
