Does TuneIn cost anything? I'd like to use a radio for when I'm at work.
Going through the list of apps, I saw "TetheringGuard" is that one we should force stop and disable too?

No, it's free and a great radio app. Use it all the time to listen to my local AM sports stations.
Any drawbacks in disabling said apps? Do any of these update anything important?
And, based on what has been implied, I'm assuming you can't DELETE/UNINSTALL these bloatware apps?
I uninstalled the updates then disabled the google music/books/movies apps..then when I checked my phone this morning they were all back and said they were updated?? Did I do something wrong or is this normal
Do you have auto-update apps checked in Play Store -> Settings?

do they still show up in the app drawer? Or do they simply not open if selected? I haven't ever disabled apps before as I've been on custom roms for about 18 months now.
Looking forward to the new phone on tuesday, and I'm planning on running it stock for at least a while, so this is good info
