with permission from our able moderators i am reposting this file which lists applications/apk which are or maybe safe to disable/remove/freeze via TB...

please feel free to add anything else...and for the advanced users, a flashable zip for removing and also reinstalling them would be a great help


Spreadsheet of Applications


ps...the list is from the sgs2 threads but most of them appear as well on our device

If these aren't actually active and running services/processes, probably won't do anything.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

indeed...but it helps especially when you are using TB or Root Explorer...at the least you would know what this app does...is that app running and consuming battery...rooted phones would get the most out of this list (kinda biased actually :p)...this goes well with betterbatterystats and cpuspy...looking for wakelocks and rogue apps and bloats that run but not everyone uses...

btw this is an open thread so everyone who've done their own removals can add to the list...:D

Samsung Push

I noticed the Samsung Apps app installed a Samsung Push service that seems to run all the time. I removed it, and it got installed again next time I went there.

I had to disable its receivers (listeners) with Autorun Manager instead of removing it.

personally i removed all samsung bloatwares as they did nothing for me :p...besides those services they offer are all there in the play store (msg, social network, email etc) without the wakelocks or background apps running...but in case id have the need for them then i can always pull them out from the original zip of my custom rom build just in case

I agree, but there are sometimes good deals and freebies in the Samsung Apps store. It just annoyed me that going there reinstalled this push app every time, so I effectively disabled it instead.

    DSMLawmo and DSM Forwarding indeed are related to S-Pen, by disabling them on my Note 2 phone, the S-Pen is out of calibration, put them back and restart the phone, make S-Pen works right. so I would recommend to not to disable/remove them.
