Hey everyone!

Has anyone else started disabling some of the Samsung bloat? I've disabled these without any problems, so far:

Animated Photo
BlurbCheckout
ChatON
Google Play Games
Google+ (caused Hangouts and a couple other Google Apps to crash, but everything seems to be fine after a reboot)
Group Play
SNS (Not exactly sure what this is, but it uses the Facebook logo)
TripAdvisor
Twitter

Has anyone had any luck disabling anything else?

Thanks! Without being rooted I forgot the power of the general settings Application manager. :)

I just now switched off:

- Animated photo
- BlurbCheckout
- Businessweek+
- Dropbox
- ChatOn
- DropboxOOBE
- Gallery
- Google Play Books / Games / Music
- Google+ (after first disabling all the others I had no crash or anything)
- Group Play
- Hangouts
- PageBuddyNotiSvc (does not really Turn off)
- Samsung account
- Samsung Apps
- Samsung Apps Widget
- Samsung Go
- Samsung Print Service
- Samsung Push Service (does not really Turn off)
- SNS
- Story Album
- Story Album Widget
- TripAdvisor
- Weather Widget
- Yahoo! Finance

I wanted to Turn of (or remove) so much more, but this was a good start...
