Safely removing pre-loaded aps on my....
April 8, 2016 at 8:26 am
Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet. I got it as part of my student kit from school. It has a ton of aps that came with it and I'd like to know what I can safely remove without it affecting my other aps.

You should never remove the safety on a pre-loaded app unless you intend to kill someone. Wait, what are we talking about again?

I wish there were a way to remove unwanted apps bundled with the Android OS on my S5 phone. Would save a lot of space, but I don't know that there's any way to actually do it.

It's called "rooting".
Google it and then search "greenify" on play store.

same here.
I managed to find the correct rooted rom for my previous phone (s4 mini) and sure I removed all the crap ...But guess what?
My most important app wouldn't run. My banking app. It detected an unofficial rom and won't risk loading incase it's been hijacked.

In any case you do decide to root your device, don't do it by yourself. There's a 73% chance you'll screw up your device,not because rooting is dangerous but because rooting is dangerous when someone inexperienced is doing it.
Unless of course you find a really good tutorial

So then take it to someone who repairs computers and such? I know a guy in town who's really good - fixed my laptop before. Maybe I should just call him?

I would imagine that a fairly good course of action unless of course someone has something better to offer?

It's early, I'll give this some time to reach the masses. If not, then yeah, I'll give the guy a call.
