[HOWTO] Remove Samsung Apps

[saquib]

Lists of apps which may be removed safely have been provided elsewhere on this forum, I have taken a list from the AngeloM thread and created a script which may be run each time a new rom is installed to remove all Samsung apps.

Pre-requisite: You need to be rooted!

1 - Install script manager which is free from the market (https://market.android.com/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager)
2 - Copy the attached script file to your sd card. You may edit it to add/remove apps as required.
3 - Start script manager, point it to my script file and tick to box to run as root.
4 - Run

That's it.

Thanks mate!

But your script had some problems to quit running

Edit:

Found a typo: rm /system/app/SamsungWidget_. ews.apk -f

And probably a remount ro and some status-echos would be neat

 

[saquib]

My unix scripting skills are pretty poor ;-(

I've fixed the typo and re-loaded.

Well, I'm currently at work

Maybe I'll put up a better script, when I find the time this weekend
Would be easier, to make a list of the apk's and then go through every element with a for-loop.
But as this is a quite simple script, it's not that necessary to make a beauty out if it...

Ah, by the way, the script didn't finish here. ATM I don't really know why. Will go through it, when I find the time


Thanks for the nice list of removable Software

Hey guys

i'm just taking a simple adb script to do this job...
something like this works great for me!

That should do the job as well. More than one way of skinning a cat

Just makes it easier than having to do it manually (especially after loading new rom).

How will I be able to update the camera firmware once the Samsung Apps is removed?

How will I be able to update the camera firmware once the Samsung Apps is removed?

Good point and good question...

Btw one more question,
If I'll just freeze those apps the OP listed using Titanium Backup, is that means that Titanium backup will start running in the background in order to block those apps ?

If so i'd better just remove them ?

Thx.
