I just got my Note 3 from sprint today, boy there allot of crapware on this,
what can I remove or what can I disable, thought I would ask the group, if there is a list of what can be removed or disable... don't want to shut off something that might be needed by the system.

Please note, not looking to do a root or custom firmware..

Major Thanks

I just got my Note 3. I know on older phones, with much slower processors/systems overall, it was always good to get rid of the bloatware. Ive only had my Note 3 on AT&T for 12 hours and it is rocking and rolling, even after I installed all my apps.

Loving this, my old Droid Razr Maxx was on its last leg.

You can always just use TB to freeze it.

Not without rooting you can't. ;)

In fact some system apps that many regard as "bloat" cannot be unistalled. The OP may not want to root, but to do what they want to they may have to. Then Titanium Backup (TB) comes into its own. Don't like a "feature" or some inbuilt app. - freeze it. if it makes the device do funny things or something breaks, unfreeze it. A doddle.
