A "hard" solution that is more complicated, but very effective.

Android / Samsung: how to uninstall apps on my rooted device

Once you have rooted your phone, you can uninstall any application, from the one you downloaded, those of your operator and even the Android system. You will be free to do whatever you want on your phone! I show you an example of an application that allows you to do this.

Install theapp System app remover (ROOT)
Launch the application
Select the applications to uninstall
Toccata Uninstall
Validation the procedure

The application is divided into two parts, a User Applications part and a System Applications part. The first part works like Android's built-in application manager and allows you to uninstall more than one application at a time. The second part allows you to get rid of the applications of your carrier, your manufacturer and the built-in Android ones.

Be careful what you uninstall, some system applications should not be uninstalled. Fortunately, the application indicates on each application its degree of importance with messages such as [Must be kept] and a fairly clear color code, orange for those that you can still uninstall and red for those that should not be uninstalled.

If necessary, the applications that you uninstall (at least the system applications) are placed in a recycle bin. If you have uninstalled a main application by mistake or want to reinstall the application, simply go to the recycle bin and restore the applications. Here's how to do it:

Launch the application
Tap the trash can icon up
Select the applications to restore
to press Restore
