Do you have suggestions for doing this without downloading any apps?

Its bit difficult but try this
Application Manager>>Start from the first app>>scroll down to permissions and check out which app has unnecessary permissions

Thank you. Do you know if there's a way to check (without downloading software) if your android is rooted or unrooted?

I thought about it, but seeing this app is signed by Google with a different key it will be problematic for people wanting to update Gmail via Play Store...
BTW I WILL include the new Play Store in gExperience!

You shouldn't be recommending anyone use Aptoide, it's a warez infested gimp haven!
ABP can be found on F-Droid tho: http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adblockplus.android :good:

Yes, that is true, but APKs that cannot be found on google play is usually uploaded on aptoide. Its morals, and anyone with morals would support the developer and purchase their app.. Not to say i have not downloaded any paid apps without paying for them, but i definitely have donated and purchased apps that have saved my ass such as speedview when my speedo was not working.
I uses ad away it uses less battery

Offline? You need to download app for phone and browse/install apps from it. Suppose its online! The same app as google play.
I dont see any offline .apk links for PC. The only offline .apk rep I know is f-droid.org

Atleast that'll solve the problem he is having :thumbup: he could choose to Download the apk provided or use aptoide, I helped him out by suggesting an option, how did you assist him on his problem again?

Adblock Plus is available from the Amazon Store, why not just download it from there?
https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
So, this [Adblock Plus for Android] will block annoying adds inside apps?
Is it recommended to also use the Adblock verion specifically for Firefox if you have this version installed?
Any issues using this alongside Android Firewall (besides the obvious one of needing to add Adblock to the whitelist so that it can download it's block list)?
Two other apps I'd recommend to anybody reading this thread: greenify and wakelock detector.

Thats alot of work.... no offense dude but thats overkill for what @toonhead85 is asking for.
Heres the milk uninstaller and the Nike+ running uninstaller
This is assuming you used my root method and have sdb sitting at C:\sdb
First of all you have to root your device and then download an app called BloatFree from the Google Play Store. And then you can start deleting your bloatware. Hope this helps!

Thanks...I appreciate it. Also really appreciate all the work you're doing for the Gear S. Yeah, some might have to be attached to News 24/7, but I'm not one of'em.
Finding Package IDs
Hi,
Thanks for all the work on the Gear S, especially the rooting guide.
Is there an easy way to find out the package IDs of the stock apps? I would like to remove a couple by replacing the package IDs in the batch script you posted for the Nike Uninstaller but can't find the IDs I need.
Thanks

Thank in advance

How do you go about doing that?
If your rooted titanium backup has that option.

There's a number of apps that can do this. Titanium can, but there's plenty of free ones too. Some are specific, some have this as one of their features. Of course, without a working Play Store, you'll have to sideload the app with an .apk you found somewhere, or from an "alternate" app store.
