Developer muniz_ri has just released yet another de-bloat tool, and this time it’s for the Verizon Galaxy S5 running on the latest OD5 build for the device. The tool let’s you completely remove all those unwanted pre-installed apps that Verizon and Samsung together put on your phone, to make it miserable.
The DeBloater tool requires root access, so make sure your phone is rooted. Also, it’s a Windows based batch script so you’ll need Windows PC/Laptop as well. The script has three de-bloating modes — Light, Medium and Extreme. Detailed list of apps that each of these three modes remove is at the bottom of this post.
