Hello,
So basically I wanted to de-bloat my note 9, but also understand what I am removing and avoid some troublesome packages.
So I looked at the packages from sea-wa's Note9 and S9 Bloatware Removal Threads (thank you sea-wa) and try to find information on each package and maybe categorize it. Tedious process, lost good hours, but maybe some other persons could find it useful.
I reorganized it, into 8 categories:
INFO
Obvious Bloatware -> junk (subjective), you likely would want gone
Apps -> stuff, you could like (subjective)
Services I might need -> Useful (subjective) services, that could be removed (theoretically)
Vital Services -> Services that if removed, affects a lot stuff (Google sync), depends on what you want
Unknown consequences -> I have no idea what removal of some of these could affect, documentation on each is required
Problems -> from my research if you remove these, you are in for some troubles, but please research again
Irrelevant -> stuff you should let be, it does not bother you
Almost all categories are split by "provider": Google, Samsung, Android etc.
As you see some disabled commands are commented, some are not. This is how I use the script. I have no problems with the phone so it's a good starting point for you. I also disabled some stuff from "Unknown consequences" and I found no problems. But don't start disabling stuff from these categories without doing your research!!!!!!!
The format is like this
Category X {{{
.....
Category X }}}
===========
Category Y {{{
.....
Category }}}
So what's between {{{ }}} is for that category, be careful not to mix categories up. I didn't know how to organize it better. Hope it makes sense.
If you find info on package, consequences etc. Please share so I can update the script.
I am not responsible for anything
. All credit goes to sea-wa, for providing the package lists.

# ======================================================I reorganized it, into 8 categories:
INFO
Obvious Bloatware -> junk (subjective), you likely would want gone
Apps -> stuff, you could like (subjective)
Services I might need -> Useful (subjective) services, that could be removed (theoretically)
Vital Services -> Services that if removed, affects a lot stuff (Google sync), depends on what you want
Unknown consequences -> I have no idea what removal of some of these could affect, documentation on each is required
Problems -> from my research if you remove these, you are in for some troubles, but please research again
Irrelevant -> stuff you should let be, it does not bother you
Almost all categories are split by "provider": Google, Samsung, Android etc.
As you see some disabled commands are commented, some are not. This is how I use the script. I have no problems with the phone so it's a good starting point for you. I also disabled some stuff from "Unknown consequences" and I found no problems. But don't start disabling stuff from these categories without doing your research!!!!!!!
The format is like this
Category X {{{
.....
Category X }}}
===========
Category Y {{{
.....
Category }}}
So what's between {{{ }}} is for that category, be careful not to mix categories up. I didn't know how to organize it better. Hope it makes sense.
If you find info on package, consequences etc. Please share so I can update the script.
