This is a follow-up post to my GUIDE: ROOT, install XPOSED, and UNROOT/returning to stock a Verizon Galaxy S7
If you have not already rooted your Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, please follow my guide and also see the "Recommended Next Steps" section that follows. If you would rather not root your phone and just want to freeze bloat, you can do so with Package Disabler Pro (Samsung) without requiring root.
REMOVING OBVIOUS BLOAT
Please see the "Recommended Next Steps" section of my guide for rooting this phone. If you you don't have root (and don't want it), then here is a list of bloat that's safe to freeze using Package Disabler Pro (Samsung):
FREEZING BORDERLINE BLOAT
WARNING: there is absolutely NO SUPPORT or help offered for you disabling apps on your own and if you run into trouble, you can't even 'adb' to 'pm enable' frozen apps back because of a bug in our version of the 'su' binary (I'll update this whenever that's fixed). Your only resolution is to flash back to a stock image if you get stuck so please execute extreme caution.
Once you've rooted and have performed some of the recommended next steps, you may want to further freeze/disable other installed software on the phone that you aren't interested in using right now, but don't necessarily want to delete. This stuff is skipped by my debloat package because some of the software is useful to some and not to others. I freeze apps using Titanium Backup with root. If you don't have root (and don't want it), I would instead recommend Package Disabler Pro (Samsung). Here's a list of stuff you can technically freeze if you want to and won't prevent your phone from working (but may prevent certain apps, services, or functionality from working):
With a few exceptions like YouTube and Edge-only apps, I have almost all of these packages disabled, but I do run replacement apps for my launcher, keyboard, SMS messenger, photo, and file manager. My experience has been fine; no force-closes or anything preventing me from re-enabling packages with Titanium Backup, but again -- please freeze/disable packages only at your own risk.
Please post if you have any details to share about what else might be safe to remove or freeze/disable. The more collaboration, the better experience for everyone.
