Root What applications on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 can I disable/remove?

Thanks! But I have another Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 which is rooted, what pre-installed apps can I remove?

Ah, now that is different.

If it has the word 'amazon' in it, I would get rid of it.
If it has the name of the carrier in it, I would get rid of it.
If it is a game, I would get rid of it...

if it starts with "com." be super careful, just rename it, don't delete it...
rooting comes with a lot of RESPONSIBILITY and dangerous results if used willy nilly.

Personally, I would stick with "app names", and not play with the system files.
at least not, until you have done a lot of reading about that particular file, and fully understand what it does...

all it takes to brick the phone, is to delete ( or rename ) just one critical file, and it is all over. you can't fix it.

Welcome to our AndroidForums, @Reading Lamp :).

Just wanted to let you guys know I've moved this thread over here to the SG S6 root area for you.

Cheers!

It's not really anything to do with rooting, but OK...

But I also have another Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 which is not rooted, and the same steps can apply to it, except disabling, not removing, obviously.
