Uninstalling Samsung Apps

What the easiest way to uninstall Samsung apps that normally cannot be removed (e.g. Social Hub, BBC iPlayer)?
The easiest way that I know of is to root your device and then use Titanium Pro to freeze the apps you do not want. By freezing them, you can unfreeze them later if you notice any problems. You can also uninstall them with Titanium as well depending on what you prefer. Its not a free app though but definitely worth it.
Being able to freeze apps like wi-fi sharing which cause serious drain are definitely worth it to me

[Q] Uninstall multiple apps, without confirmations.

I like to try apps. I think most of you do, too.
The problem is it's really difficult to uninstall an app in Android. I have an iPod Touch, and I can't say uninstallation on iPod Touch is that easy, but Android is worst.
Is there any app (with root privilege), that can uninstall multiple apps without confirming at each app? I tried many apps on the market, but non of them worked like that. One app could remove multiple system apps without confirmations, but it couldn't do that for user apps.
Please tell me if there is a way to achieve this.
And, Google should provide an option to turn off the uninstall confirmation + the useless "uninstalled" message boxes. Or add a way to uninstall multiple apps with only one confirmation (not at each app).
Titanium Backup - you can do batch installs and uninstalls of apk files.
Did not work
I tried the trial version of Titanium Back Up. It did have a menu for that, but executing it did not work. It just hung at 0% and did not progress.

After rooting, am I okay to go into ROM toolbox and uninstall/freeze bloat apps?

So this is my first Android phone, I just rooted it this morning and got ROM toolbox installed. Am I okay to go in and freeze or uninstall all these crappy bloat apps? I noticed in another thread that people were freezing a ton of apps instead of uninstalling - is there any particular reason for this? ROM toolbox apparently gives me the option to uninstall every app that's listed. Is freezing just a better idea for safety reasons? This is all very new to me but I'd like to uninstall as much of this bloat as possible.
Also, are there any other "must have" apps or fixes/tweaks that I should do now that I have root access?
You can uninstall the bloated verizon crap if you want, but some things may not work properly afterwards. i think that's why we usually freeze instead of uninstall.
what you can do instead is make a backup of any/all junk you want to remove. that way it's always there to reinstall if you find your phone not working properly.
if you plan on installing a custom ROM, then none of this even matters. Uninstall to your hearts content. But we typically like original backups of the whole system in case something F's up.

This is sorta of off topic, but can you make a backup of everything? I was stupid and uninstalled something i shouldnt have now the I cant login to my google account anywhere on the phone. Could you do this for me and send me the files(s)? It would be a god send.

Actually, I did the same thing to a couple of apps before I realized what was going on. Then I got titanium backup after posting here and backed everything up, minus the files I uninstalled. It was mostly some random Samsung bloat apps. Everything seems to be working fine, so I don't think I did any damage.
I'll see if I can get the backup uploaded and I'll send you a PM with the link.

Removing Bloatware Via ADB

I am aware of package disablers and notice how quick these paid apps get removed from the Play Store. I personally prefer to use ADB to remove apps. For most of my non-rooted devices, I keep a list of what I can through ADB. Junk like Facebook, YouTube, Drive, and so on. However, Samsung devices seem to have a lot more bloatware than most other devices. This is my first Samsung device since the Galaxy Nexus. Would anyone have the actual package names for the following apps so I can use ADB to remove them?
Email
Galaxy Apps
Gallery
Game Launcher
Samsung Gear
Samsung Health
Samsung Note
Samsung Pay
Samsung+
Secure Folder
Smart Switch
SmartThings
Thanks in advance!
Use Application Inspector from the Play Store.

Lots you can get rid of. I have an issue where every now and then it says "Galaxy Apps has stopped" and I need to hit a button, but others have not had that issue.

Built in apps(bloatware)

Hi! So I recently got a Samsung Galaxy A20e and I got some apps that I don't want to use but can't uninstall so I have to disable them. Is it safe to disable apps in general? Also is it safe to disable those specific apps:
Netflix
Google Chrome(I prefer Samsung browser)
Samsung Pass
One Drive
Facebook
Dictionary
Android Auto

Yep, since they're not really useful to the system you can disable them. But before doing this for "Dictionary", are you sure this is a bloatware ? If it doesn't appear in your app drawer it means this app is your keyboard's dictionary, used to "remember" the way you write.
Otherwise you can disable the other ones
Ok thanks!
