G., 17 Aug 2016Use online tutorials for rooting (at your own risk), for your specific model. I used Chainfire... moreYou should reboot when finished deactivating. Also see all menu configuration options and disable background sharing and things you don't use.

Remember if you flash with Odin for root you lose your data. ALWAYS backup first...

yakuza, 11 Aug 2016can you give a tutorial? or share a link?Use online tutorials for rooting (at your own risk), for your specific model. I used Chainfire metod and flashed with Odin, NOT KingRoot, etc.

Know that if you root, you move the internal counter (may lose warranty) and if you update Android (by flashing, because with root you lose OTA updates), you lose root.

Bloatware List A5 (Android 5.0.2)

IMPORTANT:
1) Used "Root app deleter" for DEACTIVATE them, not delete in case something went wrong. So far, so good.
2) Some names will be different for language reasons.
3) Some things you may use them, a lot of them I use alternatives (imagine the resources used when you can't deactivate or delete an app or service you don't use AND use an alternative...).
4) Use this list AT YOUR OWN RISK. Don't be an idi...
