Get Rid of Bloatware on Note 4 with SmartDebloater Tool

A key factor for the smoothness of a Smartphone is the efficient usage of the hardware resources without compromising the software features. Google designed Android such that the apps consume a limited quantity of resources leaving room for the user to install his favorite apps and games. But thanks to the manufacturers who add few more layers of customization to the vanilla Android shrinking the device resources and if you’re buying a carrier locked device, you’re once again going to suffer the wrath of bloatware from carrier end.

Samsung’s TouchWiz UI is undoubtedly great but not at the cost of constant freezes and low RAM issues. Getting rid of the bloatware is not so easy and requires a lot of effort from your end. Rooting your device and uninstalling the stock apps which you don’t use is one solution but they may leave some residual or linking apps which are of no use unless you have the parent app. So you need to know the entire set of app chain to remove the link, for instance, you need to remove AccuweatherPhone.apk and WeatherDaemon.apk to completely remove the weather app.

So looking at the big picture, you need to have a list of apps which fall in the same category and remove them all if you’re not using it. This process is tiresome and requires a lot of research, but thanks to SkywalkerZ of XDA you can now get rid of the bloatware on your Galaxy Note 4 with a few clicks on the SmartDebloater tool.
