    This question has been asked many times. The reason why I almost never ask questions on this site is because I always search first lol.. Odds are someone has asked and answered the question... Found this using search...

    Hey Mike's cut the sarcasm. Who gives a hoot that you always search. I never search and get respectable answers. Don't answer if its a pain for you

    I responded to something similar in a thread this morning: YMMV, so not everyones disabled list will look the same.

    Allshare Play (Samsung)
    Amazon Kindle
    Verizon Apps
    Backup Assistant (Verizon)
    Backup Assistant Plus
    Color
    Google +
    Media Hub (Samsung)
    Music Hub (Samsung)
    My Verizon Mobile
    S Suggest (Samsung)
    S Voice (Samsung)
    Samsung Account
    Samsung Backup Provider
    Samsung Cloud Data Relay
    Samsung Cloud Syncadaptors
    Samsung Push Service
    Vcast tones
    VZ Navigator
    Yahoo Finance
    Yahoo News

    ***These are all safe to disable.





    Here are my must haves:

    Aquamail - a superior email program.
    Solid Explorer - Great file manager
    Chrome - Much better than the stock browser
    Foxfi - or use Widgetsoid for "T"
    Nova Launcher -
    PowerAmp - music player
    Swiftkey or Swype

    If you are unsure whether to disable something come back and post on this thread and I or someone else will help you.

    I did answer the question, by providing a link that answered it... You added nothing at all...

    How do I disable? Inside the task manager, I can select a running app and select "Stop". But for some apps, like AllShare Play, they restart on their own?

    I always force stop, Uninstall updates and then choose disable.
