Would those of you who have already deleted all the Samsung sh** mind sharing what all you've deleted with no ill affects? I would love to be able to eliminate everything I didn't choose to install. And are you guys are just freezing or deleting?

Thanks y'all!

I would also like to know this. If we could get a professional who knows what they're doing to direct us? There must be a million threads on freezing apps, but they're all for different devices it seems. I've frozen some stuff but it hasn't appeared to do much and there's so many apps.

This is excellent free app for debloating. It tells you what can be safely removed and what should be left alone and allows for batch uninstall.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp

Thanks for replying and the app recommendation, but looking at it, I can see that it's not exactly what I'm looking for. It says Knox is a key system resource so it's basically listening to how samsung flagged its apps "You gotta keep this! You just gotta!". A user made list would be awesome, even if it was just from a very similar tablet. I can't seem to find anything recent and therefore relevant.

Agreed. Yeah, I was hoping one of the people who said they had debloated their tab s would chime in with exactly what they deleted.

Screw it. I'm gonna post everything I've frozen with no ill effects (so far). I will update when and if the "ah hah!" or "Oh ****, please god no!" moments occur.

Wi-Fi Direct share 2.1

*UPDATE 00:03 7/6/2014

Froze the following with no repercussions (yet):

Active applications 1.0.0 (It's important you freeze the one with 2 zeros, as the other will cause the Task Manager to fail. The one you freeze had a green circle with a 3 for an icon)
Bubbles 1.0 (Bubbles? We don't need bubbles...yet...)
com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
com.sec.android.app.wfdbroker 1.0.0 (Think this has to do with WiFi Direct. Again if you use anything in this list, then DON'T freeze it.)

MobilePrintSvc_CUPS_ 1.0 (more printing stuff, see above)
MobilePrintSvc_CUPS_Backend 20130513
Print Spooler 1
ringtonebackup 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
WFDS Print Service Plugin 1.0.1

That's it for now, let me know if a catastrophic failure occurs on your end.*

*UPDATE 11:25 7/7/2014

Froze the following:

Adapt sound 1.0 (From what I understand, this adapts the sound profile to your environment. but I havent found an actual app to use for it, so I disabled it.)
Basic Daydreams 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (Do you let your tablet daydream? Yes? Then don't turn this off I guess. I work my tablet to the bone and don't tolerate daydreaming)
Camera Test 1.0
com.android.sharedstoragebackup 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (No idea what this does)
com.samsung.adround.app.watchmanagerstub 14.04.14 (Has to do with Galaxy Gear?)
com.samsung.android.sdk.spenv10 3.0.101 (Looks like an app for the S pen, which none of us have...)
com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService 1.0 (READ THIS!!! Disabling this app will net you HUGE performance benefits. However, you will lose split screen functionality. I think these tablets are too small for split screen, but you might use it. Do as you will.)
com.sec.android.app.minimode.res 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (???)
ELM Agent 14132
Enterprise Sim Pin Service 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
Enterprise VPN Services 1.3 (Don't disable if you use VPN?)
Exchange services 4.4.2.0100
Filter Installer 1.0 (From what I understand, The Filter applications are extraneous as Google Play now performs the same functions.)
Filter Manager 1.0
FilterProvider 1.0
PickupTutorial 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
VpnDialogs 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (Might be important for VPN.)
Weather 140603.02 (Self explanatory.)

You stand to gain the most by disabling the FlashBarService and therefore losing split screen. Update me with any issues.*

*UPDATE 7/24/2014

This latest update brings with it an issue (maybe it was like that before this update? Just noticed it.) The stock regular internet browser has stopped working. I could give less than a flying f**k, but you might enjoy using in.

Froze the following:

Backup 3.6.2
com.android.backupconfirm 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
Context Service 2.0.3 (Will cause the stock browser to FC)
DeviceTest 1.0
Gallery 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (This will cause controversy, but it was set to run all the time. I tried figuring out how to disable it from automatically running to no avail. I actually re-enabled Google+ to get the Photos app back, because it doesn't run constantly. Will look for a better alternative later.)
SmartcardManager 1.7
SmartcardService 3.1.0
Unified Daemon 140423.01 (Disables the location functionality of the stock Weather app)

Re-enabled:
Google+ 4.4.3.69327528 (See above for explanation.)

That's it for now. My tablet is really flying. Even the notification bar does not cause a stutter anymore, and chrome seems faster yet. Really starting to love this tablet *

EDIT 09/16/2015: Thanks to @stwum for confirming Context Service 2.0.3 is the cause of FC for the stock browser, and @stwum and @samisama both for the weather info on Unified Daemon 140423.01.
I can only personally confirm the settings for the KitKat version of the software (I no longer own this tablet), Anyone who has LP on theirs is welcome to take this list and give it an overhaul if they feel up to it. Thanks all.




Anything in this list that might not make sense to you, or if you use that app, then obviously don't freeze it. Let me know if you have anything to add or inform me of what I really should turn back on.

Awesome! I wonder, is there any functional difference between the frigid and deletement treatment?

Sythrix, how's it running? Did you notice an appreciable difference?

Freezing removes them from active RAM the same way deleting does(so you get all performance and battery benefits) . Deleting will free up storage space as freezing does not. Only benefit is more storage space it would seem. A good reason though. However, don't delete anything til you're sure you don't need it.

It seems faster, but I don't think TouchWiz will ever be completely "smooth".

More RAM available, although not as much as I expected. Will have to keep at it.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the replies! Gonna start freezing away.

Just be careful removing system apps if you plan to ever updates via ota. I know most won't care to but it is worth stating.

Good point. I am not going to remove anything so I can still get OTA updates if a rom doesn't come in the foreseeable future. I did just buy a 32 Gb card so I have more storage. I also removed the restrictions on it with SDfix, so I should be set for storage.

What was your feeling about the performance of your S on a scale up to 10 before doing anything?

I ask because I have only made some changes in developer options which I enabled. Have not changed the browser or TZ interface and even before aforementioned adjustments I would give it 8.5 so not planning on doing anything else. I do my share on a tablet, I do not consider a power user by any stretch.

I do my share on a tablet, I do not consider a power user by any stretch.

I bought the Tab S for the screen. Plain and simple. Before it, I used the LG G Pad Google Play Edition, so my perspective largely comes from that. I loved the performance of the G pad, it was really really smooth, without hiccups. The screen was a nightmare though. It was very bland looking and would randomly dim itself because it overheated incredibly fast. On top of that there were bands on the left and right side that were distracting (light bleed). I loved it at first but The Tab S was just so much better looking I went for it. Everything the G pad had going for it was in the performance. I would rate that tab a 9.5 in performance, with the ever so rare stutter in chrome and the like.

The Tab S, stock, I would rate about a 7 on performance. Sure things move along, but it doesn't ever feel smooth. Chrome was a nightmare before I followed the suggestion in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/g...ing-choppy-t2800918/post53887711#post53887711

Even so, Chrome is still not as smooth as it was on my other tablet, and lag is still present. Once you've experienced a pure android environment, it's hard to go back. After disabling a bunch of stuff, particularly the FlashBarService, I would rate it about 8 - 8.5. It's still not silky smooth like my other tablet, but it's significantly better. Suffice to say the second a minimalistic ROM is released for this thing, I'm gonna be all over it. Samsung thinks it need all these special features to stand out, but most of the time they just slow their tablets down. Their hardware is good, but their software seems to forever be bloated and badly optimized.

    *UPDATE 00:03 7/6/2014

    Froze the following with no repercussions (yet):

    Active applications 1.0.0 (It's important you freeze the one with 2 zeros, as the other will cause the Task Manager to fail. The one you freeze had a green circle with a 3 for an icon)
    Bubbles 1.0 (Bubbles? We don't need bubbles...yet...)
    com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
    com.sec.android.app.wfdbroker 1.0.0 (Think this has to do with WiFi Direct. Again if you use anything in this list, then DON'T freeze it.)

    DSMLawmo 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (Spen functionality?)

    That's it for now, let me know if a catastrophic failure occurs on your end.*

    *UPDATE 11:25 7/7/2014

    Froze the following:

    Adapt sound 1.0 (From what I understand, this adapts the sound profile to your environment. but I havent found an actual app to use for it, so I disabled it.)
    Basic Daydreams 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (Do you let your tablet daydream? Yes? Then don't turn this off I guess. I work my tablet to the bone and don't tolerate daydreaming)
    Camera Test 1.0
    com.android.sharedstoragebackup 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (No idea what this does)
    com.samsung.adround.app.watchmanagerstub 14.04.14 (Has to do with Galaxy Gear?)
    com.samsung.android.sdk.spenv10 3.0.101 (Looks like an app for the S pen, which none of us have...)
    com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService 1.0 (READ THIS!!! Disabling this app will net you HUGE performance benefits. However, you will lose split screen functionality. I think these tablets are too small for split screen, but you might use it. Do as you will.)
    com.sec.android.app.minimode.res 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (???)
    ELM Agent 14132
    Enterprise Sim Pin Service 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
    Enterprise VPN Services 1.3 (Don't disable if you use VPN?)
    Exchange services 4.4.2.0100
    Filter Installer 1.0 (From what I understand, The Filter applications are extraneous as Google Play now performs the same functions.)
    Filter Manager 1.0
    FilterProvider 1.0
    PickupTutorial 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
    VpnDialogs 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (Might be important for VPN.)
    Weather 140603.02 (Self explanatory.)

    You stand to gain the most by disabling the FlashBarService and therefore losing split screen. Update me with any issues.*

    *UPDATE 7/24/2014

    This latest update brings with it an issue (maybe it was like that before this update? Just noticed it.) The stock regular internet browser has stopped working. I could give less than a flying f**k, but you might enjoy using in.

    Froze the following:

    Backup 3.6.2
    com.android.backupconfirm 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7
    Context Service 2.0.3 (Will cause the stock browser to FC)
    DeviceTest 1.0
    Gallery 4.4.2-T700XXU1ANF7 (This will cause controversy, but it was set to run all the time. I tried figuring out how to disable it from automatically running to no avail. I actually re-enabled Google+ to get the Photos app back, because it doesn't run constantly. Will look for a better alternative later.)
    SmartcardManager 1.7
    SmartcardService 3.1.0
    Unified Daemon 140423.01 (Disables the location functionality of the stock Weather app)

    Re-enabled:
    Google+ 4.4.3.69327528 (See above for explanation.)

    That's it for now. My tablet is really flying. Even the notification bar does not cause a stutter anymore, and chrome seems faster yet. Really starting to love this tablet *

    EDIT 09/16/2015: Thanks to @stwum for confirming Context Service 2.0.3 is the cause of FC for the stock browser, and @stwum and @samisama both for the weather info on Unified Daemon 140423.01.
    I can only personally confirm the settings for the KitKat version of the software (I no longer own this tablet), Anyone who has LP on theirs is welcome to take this list and give it an overhaul if they feel up to it. Thanks all.




    Anything in this list that might not make sense to you, or if you use that app, then obviously don't freeze it. Let me know if you have anything to add or inform me of what I really should turn back on.

    What was your feeling about the performance of your S on a scale up to 10 before doing anything?

    I ask because I have only made some changes in developer options which I enabled. Have not changed the browser or TZ interface and even before aforementioned adjustments I would give it 8.5 so not planning on doing anything else. I do my share on a tablet, I do not consider a power user by any stretch.

    I bought the Tab S for the screen. Plain and simple. Before it, I used the LG G Pad Google Play Edition, so my perspective largely comes from that. I loved the performance of the G pad, it was really really smooth, without hiccups. The screen was a nightmare though. It was very bland looking and would randomly dim itself because it overheated incredibly fast. On top of that there were bands on the left and right side that were distracting (light bleed). I loved it at first but The Tab S was just so much better looking I went for it. Everything the G pad had going for it was in the performance. I would rate that tab a 9.5 in performance, with the ever so rare stutter in chrome and the like.

    The Tab S, stock, I would rate about a 7 on performance. Sure things move along, but it doesn't ever feel smooth. Chrome was a nightmare before I followed the suggestion in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/g...ing-choppy-t2800918/post53887711#post53887711

    Even so, Chrome is still not as smooth as it was on my other tablet, and lag is still present. Once you've experienced a pure android environment, it's hard to go back. After disabling a bunch of stuff, particularly the FlashBarService, I would rate it about 8 - 8.5. It's still not silky smooth like my other tablet, but it's significantly better. Suffice to say the second a minimalistic ROM is released for this thing, I'm gonna be all over it. Samsung thinks it need all these special features to stand out, but most of the time they just slow their tablets down. Their hardware is good, but their software seems to forever be bloated and badly optimized.

    System App Remover (root) is excellent for this.

    This is excellent free app for debloating. It tells you what can be safely removed and what should be left alone and allows for batch uninstall.

    First, thank you Sythrix for posting "List of Disabled Apps." It was a great help to me.
    Second, if you would like to have the stock regular internet browser working in the future, I think you will need to defrost "Context Service 2.0.3." It worked for me.

    Update 7/24/2014

    I've updated the list (page 1) with a few more frozen apps. I honestly don't know if there's anything left to do, because it seems to really be working great for me now. Let me and everyone else know if you discover a problem.
