What software to disable - Verizon

OK, I searched for this, but I am missing it - or it just hasn't been compiled yet. What Verizon software that came installed by default is safe to disable?

I have tried to disable the voicemail app but have had no luck. There are several updates that came right away that I had to uninstall before I could disable some apps.

Here is what I've disabled - so far:

Amazon Kindle
Apps
Color
Google +
Sync Service
Vcast Tones
VZ Navigator
Yahoo Finance
Yahoo News

What ELSE can we add to the list?
 
I disabled all the samsung stuff that I didn't use. Basically everything but the S-voice. I had google music disabled for a while but I enabled it for the heck of it recently.

If you updated any of these apps, uninstalll the update to find the disable button. I want to disable messaging also becuase I am using Go SMS but I'm not sure if that would be a problem. I just got this phone yesterday, so I am not sure how safe it is to disable everything that I have disabled. Thanks for starting this post.
 
It don't matter if you disable google play books, Cause if you restart phone its enabled again atleast is for me. Even on nexus it did this.
