Why? The only extra apps I install on my phones are Google apps(but this comes with them), Textra, Nova, Helium, Dogcather and Cloudmagic

Yes I bought that app, I know I can get rid of it or most. I made this thread to just show the ridiculousness amount of it in general

What device is that? I'm guessing not a new Note 5/S6e+...could've used the new screenshot feature that lets you capture the entire page. ;)

#nobloatMotorola

'nuf said. I'm debating between the new Moto X or the Nexus 6 for my next phone. I have a 2013 X (just got Lollipop, yay!). I had to remove some apps from my 16 GB Moto X because of the addition of Docs Sheets and Slides to the core OS (or the inclusion of those by Motorola) but they were ones I had previously installed to kill some time and haven't used since. I seriously have less than 6 "bloat" apps on my X that are disabled and they're all Verizon-forced apps. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and hardly use any of the S-Pen features, the only thing that is nice/useful is split screen.

Why didnt you highlight apps you calculate as a bloat? i saw alot system services and specific apps for the phone.

Regardless, there is a ton of bloat. People can try to derail and sidetrack but it has a ton

Are you seriously trying to say that a Galaxy S6 stock doesnt have a ton of bloat? Really?
