Root Remove unwanted apps from Galaxy Tab2

Where can I get some advice about removing unwanted apps, especially "Group Play"?

Welcome to our AndroidForums, Cynic1947!

I'm guessing your best bet would be the all-things-root area for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.

I've gone ahead and moved your thread thread there since I believe you'd need to root your device in order to actually removed a pre-installed app (although some devices do let you disable apps from the Settings -> App function).

I'll let the good folks in this area that know your device best guide you, but I might suggest that you don't actually remove an unwanted app and instead disable (or "freeze") it--it makes it easier to restore to your device should the need arise (like receiving and OTA update).

Cheers and best of luck!

I've used an app called no bloat free - it allows you to remove unwanted system apps. Also allows you to black flag them first, to ensure no adverse UI issues before you permanently remove apps.

It is available in the play store

Good luck
 
Thanks for the info! The download site suggests I do a backup before deleting anything; what is the best way to back up a tablet?

That's all too complicated and time-consuming. Until someone comes up with a simpler method, I'll have to settle for removing them from the Home screen.
