This really belongs in the general section.

Since you are here, just freeze using titanium instead of deleting it. I freeze 45 apps after rooting my SGS2.

Which 45 did you freeze?

Are you interested in what he had for breakfast also? Its all personal preference, freeze what you feel you will not need or want. By freezing them you can always have them if you ever do decided to use them.

Angry nerds are angry.

I'd actually just flash Juggernaut as Team Kang removed all bloat for you and lets you reinstall those you may want again with Bloater (installed after you flash).
Its a very good rom and you have nothing to lose since youre already rooted now.

Dont listen to them, its a good valid question....but I would say you use your own judgment, Use TB to delete or freeze apps you dont think you are not going to use.

If you do a search there is a post,I don't remember where, but it has a spreadsheet of everything you"need" for the phone to work. Everything else is only needed if it pertains to an app you use or need. You will have to do some reading, it is an apk spreadsheet. It will answer your question better than me trying to type the 40 things I delete on almost every ROM. In fact I would love to see some of these new roms come in a "vanilla" form, and then I can add what I want. I came from the international version of this phone, so I am spoiled with all the development..

I used Root Explorer to delete almost every T-Mobile app, and all the other crap.

Well now that you're rooted why not flash a rom?
Most roms have all the unwanted apps removed already.
Another way if you're not sure is go to your app drawer, find the ones you don't want and just freeze those.
Example: I don't use Media Hub, T-Mobile ID, All share, Wifi Sharing, etc. So I go ahead and freeze those.
Its all personal preference.
Good luck.

Ill repost that stock debloated rom i posted when the ota first came. Its totally stock minus all the crap. Will post it after work tomorrow.

I would use eaglesblood. It is vanilla. Or at least I think it is he uses launcher2 with his own tweaks. I love eaglesblood donniqcc is one of the best devs out there in my opinion. It is by far the best ROM on the G2x I was soooo happy when I saw that he made one for the sgs2. The only thing is it is still in the early stages I think only version 1.0 right now but he is working on an update I cant wait. He is supporting 3 phones so it will take some time but once he gets goiong there is no stopping him. But it definitely has a vanilla feel to it.

I am not being rude or anything but eaglesblood is not vanilla. I looked at his rom, all he did was take the stock rom and place Launcher2 inside. A true vanilla rom is built from google source tree (AOSP) and takes a long time to build from. The closest thing to vanilla is CM roms which still are not even vanilla because Cyan puts his own stuff in there. If you want to know what true vanilla is look back to the phone that started it all the G1. That phone is a true vanilla phone. He does have a great rom and I agree for somebody who wants no bloatware they can try that. But yo say its vanilla is inaccurate. Sorry completely off topic, didn't mean to sound rude just clearing things up. People use the term vanilla rom so loosely these days....if you have been around since the G1 you know what vanilla.

[VZW][Rom+Kernel] VZW EFO1 Better Than Life Confidence and Paranoia V2.0 Released 814

A....is for Apple
Updates
Gingerbread for Verizon, with 3G, and Full Root, and De-bloated. Also did TouchWiz 4.5. Oh, its the real Deal, the real Verizon EFO1 Gingerbread base.
Worked alot on this the past few days, trying to get it out as a suprise to you Verizon guys by thursday, but man.....my back and arms are killing me, had to take some breaks.
Before the details.....
I need to get on a knee here and thank DirtyDroidX, and P3Droid. Because if it wasnt for them, I wouldnt have this build, I would be releasing a hacked Sprint GB with a half working 3G. Also, Spacemoose for his continuing support, and help with the Kernel, recovery, the questions, the calls, it never ends for that poor guy.
I want everyone to go out, and buy the Team BlackHat app TODAY as a thankyou to them for delivering this much needed resource to me, and Donate to DirtyDroidX, and to Spacemoose, they all pitched in alot of work. Im serious, get the TBH app, donate to me some other day. Im doing this for you, not the money.
Ok, details.
This is EFO1.
Verizons Gingerbread.
This is not so much a leak (though it could be considered a leak by me, im not leaking it) This IS the EFO1 that TBH has released today, however, I worked it so much that P3Droid agreed that it is my build, so I felt confident and not paranoid ( lol ) about releasing my build today.
What did I do?
Debloated
53 pieces of CRAPWARE EFF YOU Verizon!!
TouchWiz 5
Full 100% without question Root (damn, it was a ***** to, however i cant believe my newb ass did it)
FULL working 3G !!!!!!!!
Version 1.0 of Confidence and Paranoia is running the Stock VZW Kernel and Recovery. Spacemoose is working on a Kernel Fix for this right now. As it stands, its Either 3G on Stock Kernel+Root, or Custom Kernel+Recovery and Root, I decided the 3G was more important
Seriously, donate to those guys, by the app, so my relationship continues to be good with them and I can get stuff like this, as it is, I am giving them all the source material they want from this, so dont be surprised if this is on the TBH soon.

No, but coming, and FYI, this is the fastest, smoothest Rom I have had to date, its my daily now for sure.
works great
Well, all my market apps are back on, so far everything working nicely. Even Netflix.
Even Intuits GoPayment app works. Its very finicky with the card swiper. The stock kernel is great. I suspect when we get the overclocked kernel, things will fly even faster!

I will never release a flashable zipped product again. I find flashing with heimdall so much easier, stable, and I know it works. Plus I can drop in just specific files right away. And it cuts my dev time in half.

Having same issue with TW (was having it with the last build based from the Sprint update also). Freezes up when you long press the homescreen.
Great work though. Loving this rom, for sure the best rom to date for the VZW tab.

Did you guys do a full Wipe right after install?. I installed this on a few tabs back and forth ranging from Froyo installs to this, including the Sprint Rom im working on as well.
Also, I noticed the past few weeks, Gingerbread doesnt like SDCards for some reason, its a pain in my ass as my card is a 32GB, but I formatted the card prior to flashing so i would have a fresh SD Card. But I also have like 12TB on my computer to toss an SDcard onto. Sucks to, slow cards.
hey jim for soe reason im not getting 3g on the new release i did everything to the T but nothing any ideas? might that me a modem issue?

Skyrocket-ICS Bloat

This is in reference to ***SkyRocket-ICS-Port-SGH-T989*** originally posted by Racing19969.
I am looking to make this thread as a resource to use to remove all the crap. I am not sure if AT&T people have to keep some of this crap on there for it to run right but I want all bloat minimized to the MAX. I will update this as people comment what they removed without any problems afterwards.
I’ve gone on an uninstalling spree making sure to make backups first since titanium recommended it. Not sure if and what will have detrimental effects but I will learn when it happens. ROM has been running smooth and fast, no crashes, radio, or button problems so far.
Uninstalled so far through Titanium Backup:

On the main screen go to "Backup/Restore". You will then get a list of apps that are installed on the system. To remove simply tap on one and hit "Un-Install!"
There are a few more apks that start with the letters SNS that can also be uninstalled or frozen. I uninstalled all SNS apks with no issues.

Thanks for making the list of crapware we can remove safely. Its pretty awesome how everybody is really helping out. I dont know what I would do without the amazing people here at XDA! Its crazy that the devs on here spend so much time improving our phones without asking for anything except a "thannks" or the occasional donation. These guys deserve a round of applause! Thank You
small tip, im not sure if its the paid version or not but if you guys dont wanna risk messing up you phone by doing this, try to just "freeze" the apps instead of actually uninstalling them.
Oh for sure..I always just freeze. Good tip though.

Because they're busy making the rom work? it was just released man...
I understand that they would want to make everything work first before they test and remove certain apps which might break it. Yes they know some apps are considered bloatware but priorities... Maybe some people could find some use in some of the bloat. Wouldn't the dev find it easier to have everyone else uninstall what they don't want instead of having people whining about something missing?
BTW this is a PORT, usually ports have everything that it came with.
Yea thanks I got tid if all of the non needed stuff. Thanks for the list.

It's an on topic question in a thread about bloat removal.

Debloated Original ROM

Hi guys can you tell me please if there is a ROM that pretty much stock but without that ATT garbage,rooted and may be with few tweaks but pretty much stock ROM ? Cause I am having all kind of little issues with CM10 ..but I just love GUI and stuff ....anyone ?
Thank you !
You could always just root, install titanium backup and uninstall the bloat yourself.
But did you check the development thread?

Yep! Just curious, what issues are you having with Cyanogenmod 10? I'm using it and is 100% better than TouchWiz stock without the bloatware.
Thank you for your reply and actually I kinda lost this topic I created. Now I had few months with my phone and here what I can say including your question on what issue I had. Well first of all there are simply 2 things that I just love in stock and REALLY love to have them on my CM10 or other it sound silly but it's a weather widget and original ring tone I mean it sounds idiotic but I simply can't find this widget on it's own anywhere. I spoke with some guys in IRC channel and he gave me 27 step instruction on how to extract widget from original rom and then make it work on other roms and then actual install ...well I stuck on step 3 so .... never mind that. But I really want to have it on my screen. And that ringtone I can't find it for nothing, I searched here and torrents and everywhere I could not find it. So if someone already extracted that widget that'll make my live so much more. Now to bit more serious stuff. It been some time and I don't know about fresh versions but one I installed when I wrote original post I had major problems with games, frames in games were much lower than on original rom, many times once game is installed in Play Store and you start program and it trying to load actual game data I'd get error message saying device could not be identified download failed, one example I remember is Order and chaos actual game installed in Play Store yet when I started it game gave me error about unknown device, also MX Player had some problems with playing some mkv that I have when original rom no problems ..and other small things as well. Like I said I have not tried it for some time but if someone can point out that widget and ringtones from Original i747 that'll be really nice. And very important game performance. I just load Most Wanted on the phone and I can "feel" it game pulls every bit of cpu and gpu out of the phone cause I can see frame rate and as smooth as it should but game graphic is amazing on that game so don't know.
Anyhow that's pretty much it, once again thank you for your answer and may be someone can point something out for me or give me advice on good rom for games and that damn widget I like so much.
Thanks guys !
I manage to get ringtone name: "over the horizon" all version on internet are not the same as in the phone, similar but not as good. And here is screen shoot of widget I am taken about ... I really like it

I honestly dont go to stock but i remember seeing a apk for the widget im pretty sure if you didnt remove that you could reinstall that on whatever rom you chose
I use intergalactic v1.1. Basically stock plus some tweak. I came from cm10 too but need the all share cast function. Will switch back to cm10 when 4.2 is ready which includes the miracast stuff in default.

Hi guys !
For past several weeks I've been using CM10 ...then they released 10.1 and everything stop working. I had a lot of problems with core apps like play store ,. Bluetooth and alarm and my games crashed a lot as well. I switched to .....pink unicorn and it actually working pretty good, they now have OTA, then for some reason my Order and Chaos start to crash all the time and I had no choice to go back to vanilla.
Thank you for that intergalactic ROM I have not tried it yet but as of 1.6.13 you still think it's good ? I really can use something like that. And in general what's new in Original rom - garbage scene ....is there something new beside intergalactic ?
Thank you !

Why even Root a Perfectly good phone.

I have Rooted many phones mind you. Starting with the Windows back in the day. I must say that I have never been happier with a phone than I am with my Samsung Galaxy s III. Just curious as to why you would want to root Perfection? This is the first phone I have owned that I have never rooted. My wife is happy none the less because i am no longer sitting in front of the PC day in and day out changing my phone settings. :laugh:
Anyhow, thanks for lettng me play devil's advocate.:good:

you answered your own question by stating "perfectly good". we make it great.

I have Rooted many phones mind you. Starting with the Windows back in the day. I must say that I have never been happier with a phone than I am with my Samsung Galaxy s III. Just curious as to why you would want to root Perfection? This is the first phone I have owned that I have never rooted. My wife is happy none the less because i am no longer sitting in front of the PC day in and day out changing my phone settings. :laugh:
Anyhow, thanks for lettng me play devil's advocate.:good:
Looks like I need to change my signature....

As good as this phone comes out of the box, it can be so much better. I've already put one of the JelllyBean leaks on mine and it's far better than ICS stock. Plus, I love being able to customize the look of it....just my opinion.

I'm running Josh's JellyBean JellyBomb Domination 4.1 right now and I couldn't be more impressed! His work (and dedication) is always phenomenal!
Because we can.

ROMs! I've been on JB for months now and it is nice! can't stand TW so I am always looking to load up stock Android and all the extra settings and customizations in CM are awesome, even simple ones like quiet hours i've come to depend on.

Because it's none of sprint's GD business if I want to watch netflix, hbo go, surf the web, or do anything else that I would do anyway, on the bigger screen of my tablet when I'm on the road.
I found another reason to root a "perfectly good phone" last night. For the past few days I was getting strange instances where the phone would seem to freeze up and then I would get an error of "Unfortunately, TestService has stopped. [OK]". I also noticed that I could no longer copy / paste text.
It seems that there is a bug that can cause the clipboard to become full or corrupted. There are only two known ways to correct the problem:
- Factory Reset,
- Empty the clipboard folder (Root required)
I am relieved that a maddening few days is over and my phone is working normally again.

And, to add, you can freeze offending apps too. Kind of the same as removing bloat.... Just saying...

My chance to ask some Noob like how do I ............

My Main question.
Be nice.
Or don't read!!!!!!!!!!
Question one. How to properly extract a keyboard from a custom rom.
or really any APK in that matter system or user apk. Is there a proper way to do it, or a way to know which apks use extra framework files and so on.
Question two of my two part main question sorta newbie post.
It gets more noob as you go on.
K question two is I am trying hard to learn to mod but im having a terible time with it. Is there a very simple basic guide to themes or to Moding Apks... speciflcy I want to invert a swiftkeyboard and I also want to learn how to take together a rom and put it back together. I don't need to become a super bad ass modder or anything ... Its just for fun but some simple theme and Rom guides would be great. BTW only ones you read your self that helped you (im not dumb I can search for all this **** my self) Im asking because I did that already and it didn't help me get very far so now im asking for help. Two more questions but if you can just answer top to I be happy. Rest are extra answer if you feel like it thanks for your time.
Next noob question is there a format SD card option on S3? or is it my rom thats missing one. I checked other roms never seem to find one. I know I can factory reset phone and it will delete sd card if I want but I dunno if its same thing.
Fast noob questions
1.What happens when you freeze a app? Will it still update?
2. If you use TIBU How many backups per app do you keep? just 1 backup per app, or two? curious
3. What rom are you using (not whats best) just right now what are you driving.... peace ((that last one was hella noob))
I have a good idea for a cool app too so if you make apps and **** pm me I tell you it... dunno might be impossible but I hate not having it in real life it would make my life more easy plus I think be fun to make let me know later

I am not a dev but i know you can pull out an apk (and any file associations) using root explorer. I have done it before for my previous phone.
I know nothing about theming unfortunately (except how to install and apply)
For formatting an sdcard I am assuming you are referring to an external micro sd. If so you should have the option under "Settings/Storage". There should be an option to "Format SDcard". If not it is a rom limitation possibly (but an odd limitation) which you need to inquire at the forum for JellyBam. If all else fails, remove and format with a desktop/laptop.
1. Freeze app = no updates
2. Your choice. How many backups per app do you want? You have the option to choose in TiBu. I personally only keep one.
3. Running stock that I have rooted and debloated and added a few mods. Thus far I am seeing the best battery life from it. Occasionally I enjoy AOKP for a time.
Wow a good reply how awesome thanks. Hmmm you saying aokp you can format as I didn't see that option

You just need to search what you want to know. There are a lot of tutorial threads here at xda.
For theming you may try metamorph.

You welcome. In this case unmount card, remove, and format from a desktop or laptop.
