10Note: While disabling/removing these apps seems to be safe, unforeseen consequences may be possible.
Now that we have a custom recovery, I suggest making a backup in Twrp, before deleting/freezing/Hiding apps
There are a few ways to stop bloatware from running
Non root- Adb Shell Pm Hide as much bloat and amazon as you can by k3ll0gs
- Fire Setup Script (FSS) - Transform your 5.0.1 Fire tablet by tufkal
Root- Freeze: Titanium Backup with Pro Key, to Freeze the app (safest)
- Rename, Move, or Delete: use a File Manager with root options (Root Browser) (should make a copy before deleting)
- May need to reboot, before apps are removed from App Drawer
- Using Titanium Backup with ProKey
Backup- I uploaded stock apps to Mega
System apps can be found in
/system/apps
/system/priv-app
Each app is in it's own folder, the app will have the .apk file extension

Stock keyboard app (don't remove unless you have another working keyboard- com.android.inputmethod.pinyin | Fire Basic Keyboard (Simplified Chinese) | 5.1_37.5.22_user_522054520
- com.android.inputmethod.latin | Fire Basic Keyboard (Latin a,b,c...) | 5.1-37.5.2.2_user_522054520

System OTA update processes
If you rooted, you should Block system over the air updates.
If rooted devices gets a system update, the update can kill root access or (less likely brick the device).

Stock Launcher
Before you remove the Stock Launcher, be sure you have at least one other Launcher installed, or the devices will not work correctly.
If you want Google Now Launcher, I suggest installing a 2nd launcher as a backup, as Now launcher can be a little tricky getting it to Launch the first time.
Stock launcher Location- /system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher
Google Apps2Well at this point I have practically nothing left so it is so close to perfect or plain vanilla android that I don't want to give up now. It has become a challenge to see just how little I can leave and still have a functional device as bare bones as is possible. And with all that stuff gone this thing is really kinda nice. Fast and empty. Pretty powerful I would imagine because it was designed to run so much more and since it is now running so much less it has power to spare.
If I could just get a little more info on these 4 I think I'd be done because these are the only 4 that seem to using resources and I feel might not be needed. But I can find zero info at all on them:
Auto Timezone Service [com.amazon.kindleautomatictimezone]
SecuritySyncClient [com.amazon.securitysyncclient]
Dynamic Updation Service [com.amazon.dynamicupdationservice]
Factory Data Reset Whitelist Manager [com.amazon.platform.fdrw]
Then I will be able ot publish the definitive list of what can and cannot be turned off :fingers-crossed:11Apps that only work with certain versions
IMDB
For Stock rom use IMDB from Amazon store
For Custom Roms use IMDB from Google store/ apkmirror.com1
