More to the point, why do people root, when they have no reason to..... If you want to know things you can do after root, there is no real need to root.

Now that your rooted you can get rid of bloatware by using an app called root explorer, navigate to the folders stored on your phone and delete everything you see. Bloatware will be gone

Personally, I think Titanium Backup is better for removing bloat because it removes data associated with the bloat too
Also, to backup and restore your rom you need an unlocked bootloader. Root won't help you with that
I think you might have missed the sarcasm, if im not mistaken

And also, this should have been in Q & A not general.
Titanium is awesome.

get titainium backup and freeze everything. Then get app 2 or sd and move some stuff over
Good Luck
i saw app that change the command of the R and L buttons
but i cant find her now
Maybe it's time for a sticky thread about the best apps with root access? I think that would be a great idea. I wanted to root for a couple reasons (WiFi tethering, Six Axis controller, and removing bloatware) but there were still some things that I didn't know about that I do now because of a previous thread I made like this one.

Yea exactly if you have to ask then you obviously don't need root and should just leave it be. Good point man

Bloatware is any app installed on your phone by a service provider that you don't want, but without root cannot get rid of. (i.e. On verizon, they include vzw navigator, a pay-to-use navigation system; backup assistant, a "service" that works the exact same way as any android automatically syncs your contacts with your gmail account; and visual voicemail, a pay-to-use voicemail system that is equivalent to google voice)

Aww come on people, xda search button fail is 1 thing but google fail takes the cake. Now you must be trolling.
Whats next? Are you going to ask how to find google in the dev forums?
Hey dude. If you dont want to answer then just shut up. If i am really trolling then who cares, if other people know im trolling they wouldnt answer me and it is fine with me. Just freakin mind your own business and dont take opportunities to show off that youre better than any of the xda mate here.

Nothing
I'm keeping mine as close to stock as possible so once updates come out I can keep figuring out how to root the R800x

Dude go take your fustrations out on your wife or kids, if you think im showing off because i know how to read then that really doesnt say much about you.
Like the majority of people here, if i do not know something i will go look it up, not ask others to do it for me. Your either super lazy or just plain stupid.
If paxchristos already answered then its over right. Why would you add up on things on which is already answered. Isnt it showing off. Why would i be frustrated? It is you who should be frustrated because nobody cares about how you show off here. I bet youre also doing it on others. Theres a problem with your attitude man. And stupidity is not even enough to describe. Maybe its just reasonable enough to take that frustration out on yourself. This is a place of information, from basic to advance. This isnt a place of showing off.

Anyone having any problems with some apps not staying disabled? I'm having trouble with Google movies and Google books. I disable them and eventually they come back and I see the update in the market for them. I go back in and disable.tjem. I know I could root and delete them but I'm waiting on my pc so I can't yet. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

I'm having the same problem with those exact same apps.

At least I know I'm not crazy. I looked this issue up and didn't find a lot but I did find someone say to disable Google partner setup along with the apps. So far since I did that they haven't come back yet but I dont know what Google partner setup is.

I would also like to know why. I have this same problem with Chat On, but I think it is Samsung related
Get rooted, you can either remove or freeze them.

Two Google apps -- Play Books and Play Movies & TV -- keeping returning from the land of the frozen. I go back into TB Pro and refreeze, and within a couple of days at most they are back. All the other Google apps I've frozen remain so. Is there something else on the list I also need to freeze?
When I disable them in app manager they come back after a reboot as well. I think its tied to the play store or something that keeps activating them.

I checked on Play and on app manager for auto update option and don't see one. Odd that only these two are persistent despite freezing. I have the feeling there's another item on TB that needs freezing as well to fix this.
I got sick of this and since I do not want nor need them, I just deleted them

Ah, the more brutal approach. If that worked, and you have no regrets or issues as a result, that seems my only course of action as well.
Why you bother to freeze them or delete? It's part of former Google Market. Do.'t see benefit from deleting it. Can you share your thoughts?

Basically, I have four pages of icons under apps, and many of them are for services I have no interest in and will never use. I'm not trying to save space...I think there's 11 GB free, but I find the clutter off-putting.
Not sure I understand the part about Google Market. Play is just the same thing renamed, isn't it? Plus new look and feel.
Anyway, just de-cluttering the UI.
Yup it comes back now.. Use menu - > hide applications or you can stick them all in one folder and hide just that folder

Disabling/freezing Google Partner Setup prevents Books and Movies from getting re-enabled.

this looks simply awful
sadly, many family members i know will love this.
I hope it's something that doesn't try and take over your phone's basic functionality. If it's just an App that doesn't do anything until you run it then that's fine with me.

It probably does run in the background on boot, unles you AutoStart it off.
On the stock-based ROMs, there's a background service called "SNS" (IIRC) that has the Facebook logo as its icon. This app probably uses that service. SNS can be safely frozen.

Thanks Skripka, that's good to know. I just got my Note 2 and am relatively new to Android in general. When you say frozen, does that mean disabled?

IIRC, SNS cannot be disabled via Manage Apps....It must be "frozen" (disabled) via a root tool like Titanium Backup.
*I don't for for sure what services this new Faceplant app uses...I'm just guessing. Not on the Faceplant, and not going to join just to find out.
It looks stupid. Why would I want facebook all over my phone? Not really interested in what bob ate, or where janes shopping, or what sally saw on the side of the road yesterday.....

My thoughts exactly lol
I hate how they keep cramming FB and Twitter down our throats. If I wanted to let my friend know that I just took a dump, I'd call him on the phone like normal people.
I am glad to see an even greater number and diversity of apps coming to android, and specifically the Note2. That said, Facebook Home will never have an opportunity to afflict my Note2.
Would be promising if it weren't made by Facebook. The app alone is lucky to still be installed.

Why is everybody attacking this? It's an optional app, no more intrusive than any other app on the market. Download it if you want to give it ago, uninstall it if you don't like it.
Anyone find it in the market yet? The facebook app had an update but when I go to settings and enable facebook home it takes me to Google play and says item not found.

It's in the market but when I try to install it says "not supported in your region". Nek Minnit try the APK that woks on my GSIII, go to install on my Note II "unsupported device" aaarrggghh.
Anyone else get it to run on their N7105?
Request
Can you please indicate me about cool apps, which improve the phone use experience.
I don't know exactly what I want, there are so many posibilities whit android, I'm sure there must be a lot of cool and/or useful apps. Like recording the call, something that changes the voice, or anything useful, funny, or even weird
Thanks!
Go to Play Store and type in the search bar the application that you want. It will give you multiple apps to choose from related to your search.
Only yourself can know what app you really like to install on your phone.

I mean, telephone call related apps, not apps en general. Most of all, I've seen apps for record the call, but is there some cool app that can replace the original, or automate something using the hardware availability, or any other.
Thanks!
