Update: Camera closes randomly. I'm still testing each individual app. I'm closer than I was yesterday.
I haven't notice any battery life improvement. I was able to get Tmobile's update after I've uninstalled them.

Thanks for this please add more in the future, especially with this AR Junk
You're welcome.
I'll try to find them. If I do find them, they might be linked to the camera itself and could cause it to crash.
"My Emoji Maker" could be the AR app.
New Discovery: After restarting the phone, you won't be able to uninstall additional apps and the cause is unknown. This doesn't affect the phone functionally, but it does mean you'll need to uninstalled/remove everything before restarting the phone. I'll continue to experiment to see what works.
Benefits (subjective) so far: The phone feels faster at startup/shutdown. There's a small battery life improvement because Samsung Themes isn't installed.

I always notice the startup faster as less is loading on launch. as for battery life improvement it will be small but there because less tasks running in the background.
Awesome tread @kartrikpal ...
Debloating is great, which I normally do with Titanium Back Up, but using BK Disabler for Samsung, I'm grateful to have a Titanium Back Up alternative for our unfortunately unrootable S9+ (for now... fingers crossed)...
Aside to the regular debloat stuff, I'm also more on the security/privacy end so there are a lot more things that I disable...
Attached are screenshots of my list of viruses that are disabled lol...
Note: It's pretty extensive so for those of you who are also into security/privacy and/or using my screenshots as a guideline, just use good judgement... obviously if you use facial ID stuff, don't disable those etc...
There are a few that are disabled, which were a part of my prevoius xml, so as I clean it up I'll update with the changes...
---
Absolute MUST DISABLE LIST:
+ Software Update (Green icon)
+ Software Update (Blue icon)
---
Stuff I'm still not sure about. (If anyone can confirm please chime in.)
? Adapt Sound - I've seen this being disabled from a few sources so I've just always kept it disabled...thoughts?
? Favorite Contacts - Same thing with this one...I've just always seen this one disabled too lol... For those that use this favorites contacts list, no need for this eh
? YouTube - To clarify, this is disabled because I use OGYouTube instead of this to eliminate ads...
---
Attached is also my exported xml file. Enjoy...

I do not need to make any such adjustments because S9 has excellent application management and RAM management. also great switching into the dose. it's a waste of time, and many have to realize it. what you submit has absolutely no meaning in non-root devices. or root or down and leave it on the phone.
my stock S9+ third cycle count....
after the completion of the charging cycle, I recommend to clear the cache via recovery and charge your S9/ S9+ in the range of 15 and 90 %. this works like a charm. no such stupid "kvázy" debloat. they are useless. Verified from the galaxy S7 to the present day!

I never said it was for the S9+. Did I? Nah.
After my trusty Motorola Nexus 6 fell from the bathroom sink and broke its display I now bought the S9+ which I hope to receive tomorrow. Debloating will be at the top of my list. I would have bought the Pixel XL if it had a wireless charger. I love to leave my phone on one especially at night moments before I go to sleep. No need to search for the USB-cable and stick it in.
One of the reasons for NOT getting the S9+ is all this bloatware.
Are we a minority or is it something they are not getting in Korea?
It took 30 years for Microsoft to realize we hardly ever use a Dutch keyboard in the Netherlands. I fear it's the same with this....
I may post a list tomorrow as well. Not a list with more programs, but probably less as I don't care about some bloat and I prefer to have it without lost dependencies.
It will not be a list for recommendation, but one that I encourage you to criticize...
I have 0 hours with this thing (I will only get it tomorrow), but being on a rooted phone for so long I want to get rid of this bloatware the moment I start it.
[EDIT]
Just saw my signature...
That one needs an update
The S4 Active is still going strong in my GF's possession, but the LG G2 has swallowed some bitter lemon several years ago.
Now own a broken Nexus 6 and a Motorola G2 as spare phone...

well if you go based off this u better install every app off google play store and say "look my phone can do all this". You wouldn't want to be missing out on **** you never use would you... lmao.... ye cuz it makes sense to have things running in the background and installed that you will never use.... People are getting dumber by the day.....
I don't have my S9+ yet (tomorrow?) and it's been a while since I had a Samsung phone.
I've read about that Bixby and I don't believe I want it on my phone. It's not in my local language and Google themselves are starting to develop one this year.
The word Bixby is not to be found in the packages list of the OP.
Or is that covered by its old name com.samsung.android.svoice ??
Can I use this procedure to stop that Bixby?
Excuse my ignorance about this subject... I don't have this phone yet.

Wow that is an extensive list you guys can come up with....
I understand darker backgrounds, turning off wifi/bluetooth and things like that but boy seems like your on the verge of breaking everything about the phone turning that much stuff off. Each to their own but might look into this a little to maybe disable a few extra things in the background.

I've broke the system ui on previous attempts, did a factory reset , & I got a happy working phone. The list is based mostly on the S8 but I did cross reference the list on multiple sources. I used "Package List" by Ben to get the list of apps installed, used Samsung S Galaxy threads from the S4 to S8 devices, my personal S7 edge running a custom rom by Jrkruse to see what apps are installed & why, and google all the S9 packages to know what it each one does. I'm still doing tests but I'm pretty close to finalizing the list. The goal is to leave phone as close to factory as possible.

I can't confirmed nor denied a samsung theme installed will still work on a S9 especially a Note 5. I'll confirmed that I had a samsung theme on a S7 edge before running the list on the device. The theme continue to work afterwards.

I only accept monopoly money. Well you're going to hate my answer. Uninstalled "Customization Service, Enhance features, Knox Enrollment Service, KnoxVpnPacProcessor, Samsung ApexService, Samsung Experience Home, Samsung Experience Service, Samsung account", & everything with Bixby in the name.
send the monopoly money to Monopoly Banks.
