Good list of unneeded apps and services

[m698322h]

I just received the S5 and like it very well. I have been searching for a decent list of apps and services that can be safely stopped without stopping the wrong ones. Anything considered bloatware or unneeded would be fine. I am seeing new services starting after the phone did it's updating and I know quite a bit of it is VZ and Samsung related.

Good info! Thanks

I have previously disabled all of those apps as well, with no issues. I've gone as far as disabling the live wallpapers.

I've also turned off these with no issues:

Accessories
BlurbCheckout
Caller Name ID
Cloud
S Voice
Verizon Support & Protection
Verizon Tones

Thanks for sharing. Always good to deactivate all the VZ bloat! I use Titanium to freeze files that "read" OTA's. Don't want to lose root in case (when) VZ sends out a patch
