In an effort to learn how to correctly use Aroma, I decided to write a tool that will assist you in removing the suffocating amount of bloatware my beloved Note 3 is cursed with. It is nothing more than an Aroma script which will let you select what apps to remove, and then it removes them.

FEATURES
  • Removes 200+ apps considered to be bloatware.
  • Works with all variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900T, SM-N9005, etc.)
  • Can apply the screen rotation fix, if you uninstall Samsung Hub.
  • Clear Dalvik cache.
  • ...And more!

REQUIREMENTS
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (duh?!?!)
  • Root
  • TWRP, CWM, or PhilZ Custom CWM installed.
  • A burning desire to strike down bloatware with the force of a thousand suns! Optional, but highly recommended!

NOTES
  • I strongly recommend you do a full backup before using this script.
  • After removing bloatware, clearing Dalvik cache would be a good idea, so they can be rebuilt at boot.
  • My device is a SM-N900T (T-Mobile SGN3), so obviously I can't determine what other apps another carrier has added. If you would like to list their names and filenames (including path), along with the carrier and I'd be happy to add them to the list. I have downloaded stock images from all of the different variants of the SGN3 and will determine what other apps are installed.
  • If I missed any apps that you would consider bloatware please let me know, and I'll add them as well!

Yep. Thanks OP but we can't use this here. Please ask a Mod to remove.

Just so you know we have a locked bootloader. Which means no custom recovery.
