I've removed these 7. Keep backups of them in case you want to update your system. The official update from Huawei checked for and patched these system apps. If they weren't found the update would fail. Restoring the apps fixed that problem.

Weather (HwWeatherClock.apk)

Titanium Backup would work. Or App Master. Or manually back them up using ES File Explorer. As long as you have a backup that's all that matters. You'll need these system app backups for when the next update comes out (unless that update wipes everything out).

Where can I find the Facebook app to delete it? I've gotten everything else. Thanks.
Honestly, I don't see a reason to remove any of these apps... they are in the system folders so you won't gain any space or anything, just disable them and you won't see them and any updates will still work fine without doing anything special.
TBH, compared to many phones, this list is very minimal.
I guess I just want more control. That's one of the reasons I choose to root my devices. It's OK to stay completely the way the phone comes, regardless of how much or little bloatware is on the device. It is up to the user to choose. That is one of the many reasons Why Android is so popular.

This sounds like very good advice. Thanks acejavelin. I never really thought about it but since the apps are in a non-usable (for the user) partition, your recommendation makes perfect sense. I already pushed your Thanks button.

Control of what? You don't get any control because the apps are in a separate partition that you can't use. In fact, you lose some control because when you delete the apps you can't get OTA.
Just freeze them so they can't run. There's no point deleting them. 7 seems trivial though. I froze more than 50 on mine. There's nothing from Huawei on my phone except the camera app.

I normally back them up so I can delete and save space. Should I need them later on it's simple to restore. But freezing them is a good method since it will let you know if it shall cause issues later on.

Comment above has pointed out that you don't gain space by deleting system apps. Or rather, you gain unusable space.
If you do prefer delete/restore, remember to back up the data (tweak TiBu to backup full data cuz it will ignore data if data is larger than the apk itself). I had problems with Dialer/Phone and System UI apps without original data. Navigation bar will be lost (it is there but it can't be touched/controlled) and incoming calls cause crash.

One, you do gain space, two, that space is usable. An average user wouldn't seem to know how to take advantage of this it seems. But to me, I make use of it everyday. - @acejavelin

I don't use TiBu. Never really cared for it. I use other methods more command-line based within the terminal emulator.

This is why it's good to know what to delete and not delete. If familiar with your device then it becomes second nature, but when jumping ship and getting a new device it is typically best to freeze and see the results. Although freezing is no different than saving and deleting. Only thing that distinguishes these two methods is when you freeze the system app, it's still there (and yes, using space). Where as when you keep it safe, say, your sdcard, then it's as simple as placing back, and/or if the particular file causes the device to go bonkers then TWRP makes it possible to fix the problem as well.

I know some rom's when signed into will bulk install previous apps and paid apps. My question is can that be done manually though adb or some sort of script. I think others have wondered this too. I haven't found an answer so thanks for any and all advice.

It can, it can also make roms that much worse. I've found using backups causes issues with stability. Thank you for the reply.

As long as you just restore the app and not data, you'll be fine. I don't even use TB except to uninstall stuff myself.

Not 100% clear on what you're attempting to accomplish. Since I'm not clear, I'll do my best to take a few guesses at what you could be asking.
I assume you're not referring to some ROMs which come *packaged* with apk files already.
Example, you have 20 apk files and you want to install them all at once? OR you have 20 apk files and respective data for them and want to install the apk and their data?
As far as I've seen, logging into the Google account which had settings backed up to it will only install the apk files and not retain the respective data for those apps.

By restoring just the app, this answer is referring to the first example I suggest and I completely agree from my own personal experience. Restoring just the apk file, *should* not have any issues.
This is making the assumption the apk is compatiable with the specific version of Androd OS being used on the device, but generally this is not an issue.
If you're interested in the technical details behind how the process works, I can give a few high level points.
The package manager for Android constantly monitors two locations, /system/app and /data/app. If an apk file is added or removed for either of these two directories, the package manager will automatically process it by either parsing the new apk file and adding it to the launcher or by removing it from the launcher and potentially uninstalling the associated data.
Off the top of my head, from adb shell which you mentioned a potential "script" process, the adb command is adb install c:\downloads\blah.apk and the uninstall command is adb uninstall com.joeykrim.appname .
If you're wanting to script inside android using bash/sh instead of outside android using the OS as I previously mentioned with adb, inside Android, I *think* it is pkg .. or pkmg .. I'm not clear on the exact command which prob shows how little I work with the package manager in Android.
Personally, I add and remove apks thru adb or manually copying the apk into one of the active directories and/or remove them manually by taking out the apk file from one of the active directories and removing the associated /data/data directory for the directory.
Hope that isn't tooo much and helps provide some more technical detail!

This is exactly what I want to happen. For the market to reinstall the APK files without the data. They're not all paid apps some are free and they would install automatically after a login. This hasn't occurred by itself in a while for me and I was wondering if there is a way to force it. I dont like having to use titanium and data usage from re downloading all the apps doesn't really bother me.

I've never done it, but aren't you able to sync all your apps to App brain and have it reload them?
Honestly, I always run a "sync all" through the accounts and sync section in the settings menu before I switch ROMs. As soon as I open the market and agree to the terms and conditions, it automatically redownloads all the apps I just previously had, both paid and free.
ok so then I have a ? too... if you don't restore data, and we're all flashaholics, how do you get your game data back. say you play paradise island or angry birds or any other long term game, do you start at level 1 each time you flash a new one?

this is a great question and unfortunately i personally dont play any of the games .. not really much time. thats more a personal issue though .. haha. as such, i cant speak from too much personal experience.
i have seen game data, specifically angry birds stored in a secure directory on the /sdcard before. also, if not using the sdcard, i also do remember seeing a specific separate "secure" mounted partition.
not sure if they still follow this practice, but i would look into the secure directories / mount points / sdcard and would go after backing up / restoring those.
the up side to this issue is all android device users who customize their devices with root access should face the issue of being able to backup/restore their game data. this point increases the likelihood of there being a good guide / resource is much higher as this is not an evo 3d specific issue.
i would be interested to see any results ppl find. please feel free to post back!
hope that helps!

Absolutely nothing lol. I back up apps and data with TB and I always restore everything. Did it going from Sense to MIUI, back to sense, and even for ICS. I have about 50 apps that TB backs up and restores for me, never had a single issue with any of them.
So long as you don't back up SYSTEM apps or data, you won't have any problems.
But, as always YMMV, this has just been my experience.
Just got root and want to rid myself of bloatware, however, lots or random comments about how best to accomplish this. For many it seems to come down to gaining access to more space (favoring delete) vs ability to restore should there be an issue later (favoring freeze). Not sure where disable comes in between them.
Thoughts? Benefits of one over the other?
Lastly, if I install Hyperdrive does all the above become moot if it disappears?
Nothing?
If you have the knowledge and ability to fix your phone if things go sour then delete. If not, freeze.

The space you gain is pretty minimal actually, but if you are the type of person who has tons of apps then perhaps that little bit will matter. I have all my bloat frozen and still have plenty of space left on internal memory, but then again I'm not the type of person with hundreds of apps. I'm pretty sure if you just Odin the stock image back to your phone all the bloat will be back, so it's not really the end of the line deleting it. It's really just up to you as to what's more convenient.
Good points Craw...I have maybe 60-70 apps and I'm not a big collector beyond that...too much and I can't even remember what they all do. I think I'll freeze for now per your suggestion. I have Titanium backup Pro - is that the best tool for it?

I have over 400 apps, plenty of room left. Bloat ware is too small to be called bloat. Call them 'unused' ware. (Some of my 400 are probably in that group)

Yeah I've been using Titanium backup for years with no problems. It's the best. Here is a list I found of bloatware that's safe to freeze, so this should help start you off: http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-samsung-galaxy-s4/287988-verizon-bloatware.html
of course if i go with a custom ROM bloatware won't be ann issue, right?
is it correct that right now, the only recovery i can have with ME7 is safestrap? I tried CWM or Teamwin and got stuck on a "downloading - do not turn off traget" message, so I installed Safestrap over it and it appears to have gone fine
is it also true that I cannot install CM 10.1.X with safestrap, requiring me to go with something like Hyperdrive?

Their is a list of compatible roms around here someplace. Hyperdrive is one of them. I have been using Hyperdrive version 9.1 with safestrap and its been running flawless for me. I did get a low disk space warning once but clearing cache fixed it and Its not been back since

Greenify is another option if you don't want to freeze apps. Greenify can put the app in hibernation so its not running in the background, but unlike titanium you can still use the app. Just another option.
Delete apps that ur never going to use(system apps) freeze apps that ur going to use very rarely but u need it. Or just tweak ur build.prop for background processes

I dont really mean to do a shameless plug or anything but if you want a tool you can check out my Project Infinity rom. With todays update I will have an Aroma installer with a near complete user selection apps installer. Eventually I hope to have every single app that is removal as an option to give the most slimmest install possible.

Before I rooted, I simply went into the Application Manager (in settings), switched to the ALL tab, and started going down the list. Particularly paid attention to items that showed up on the RUNNING tab to see what needed freezing the most. If you do it this way, you should not be able to accidentally freeze (or "Turn Off" in the app mgr) any programs that are critical to the operation of the phone.
If you want to "debloat" it further, I do recommend Titanium Backup. It is exceptionally good at freezing apps and otherwise managing backups of apps (and backing up user data from system apps, and converting from system -> user, and many other tasks...). I've been using it since my Samsung Infuse 4G. It will require root, and can do more damage because of this if you are not careful.
As others have recommended, go look at debloat lists for the Galaxy S4. The software lists are nearly identical. Just read through what each app does, and determine for yourself what is needed, and what isn't.
Lastly, if you are rooted, and you are going to debloat using a root application (like TiBu), don't forget to make a full nandroid backup using your custom recovery.... just in case.
For kicks, I tried to integrate all system app updates into the ROM. It would seem all but two work, while retaining full functionality of those that are integrated. Touchless Control and Active Display won't work, as I can see, if their updates are integrated. Some apps were faulty after integration, and needed to be uninstalled, installed from the Market, and converted to a system app...with data restored afterwards. Titanium Backup and SafeStrap RULES!!!! There is still 850Mb left in the system, so next is to drop a few 'normal' solid apps into the system. I've been advised to not integrate any launchers. Cool. It pretty much goes without saying that I do have a clean backup of the Stock system partition. I'll let things simmer first, to see whether everything can survive as a daily ROM.

Good to know! Yeah, it was looking like not many apps I would've trusted as predictably stable enough to trust as a system convert. Ridiculous waste of space.

It should not be the case.
Backup data, factory reset the phone, restore data without restoring apps and settings and then check. It's time consuming but is a great way to start with a brand new phone.
Is this issue only on chrome? Or in other apps too?

Yeah, don't use SmartSwitch. Do a clean load from scratch. If you don't screw it up with upgrades/updates or buggy apps a good load can last years on an Android and remain fast/stable with minimal maintenance.
ApkExport can be used to create installable copies of your current apps so no Playstore is needed. Saves time and sanity.

adb pull /sdcard
delete Android folder and copy over everything manually to the internal storage on the folder (adb push won't push subfolders)
Set up everything else from absolute scratch.
It's annoying but this is the only way to make sure you're starting with a clean slate and that your bugs aren't caused by something from your old phone. Spending an hour or two now can save you tens of hours down the line in troubleshooting nonsense nobody else seems to be suffering from and coming to the conclusion you have to factory reset anyway.
It's a good time to clean up apps you may not use much anymore too as you'll have to install your apps manually. I usually end up losing 10-20% of the apps I had on my old phone because I realize I don't really use them.

Could copying everything manually what's inside the folders, cause problems in terms of cache and so on? Do these folders contain cache?

Yes. The whole reason to do a clean load is to ensure the integrity of the load and to not reload the previous problems or malware. Letting the apps install clean is important.
I only restore data to trusted apps that allow backup and are difficult to setup from scratch... like Poweramp.
If you fail... you will live with the issues it caused until you factory reset it, again, in the worst case scenario. It's good to go through installing all the apps and configuring them at a reload as it allows you to spot previous mistakes and raises your level of awareness.

Yea I get it, like you should only backup the folders/appdata from apps you know it won't cause problems. Otherwise clean installing best option.
Today I also found out that some websites in Firefox, also have this problem in top left corner not responding. I guess it's software related, because same websites had no issues on Chrome.
