I was trying to uninstall all the apps that i didn't use on factory t-mobile's network. (factory games, my tmobile etc. etc.) Anyone know how to get rid of this? My phone is rooted but I'd like to keep my factory ROM. Many thanks ahead of time!

Either Freeze the apps with Titanium Backup Pro, or delete the APK's using Root Explorer (apps are in /system/app).

With all the ROM switching I do. Is it possible to backup all your settings and apps, flash your ROM, and then restore your apps? Something other than Titanium.
Why not Titanium?

I guess to be honest, even though it isnt much, i'm looking for something free that will restore all my apps at once and not one by one manually. Don't get me wrong Titanium works great. Tried GO backup but it won't do a batch save over 200 mb.

It is worth buying it..
It is soo damn easy to back up and restore.
Check out my backup root here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot
The free version is fully functional. I bought the pro version as it will allow backing up from one phone and restoring on a different phone. I use this almost as much as I use root explorer lol.

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a "stock" debloated rom right now for the S4, all of them have some customization.
If you are looking for a really excellent rom to flash "Wicked v3" check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265998
It is not stock but it has all the carrier and samsung bloatware removed and has many outstanding features.
Good luck!
So what firmware will I have if I will buy s4 directly from samsung store etc. That's something what I am looking for my s4.

get titanium backup to remove any carrier bloatware apps, if you already have root then get a SU manager app and download goomanager and get TWRP recovery on your phone, after that you can download a stock.qmg to have the international i9500 boot up screen without the tmobile in it. that's as stock as I think you can get.

Titanium Backup no longer deletes all the bloatware system apps, it used be able to do remove
a lot of it before the S4 hit the scene. All Titanium can do now is simply "freeze" the system apps.
There are only perhaps 2-3 system apps at most which it can delete now, hopefully Titanium will
get updated so it will have the ability again to really do a good job getting rid of the bloatware.

Oh, I don't really use that to delete bloatware, I usually use root explorer and just delete the apps I just wanted to give him a easy workaround, you can also get an app called no more bloat o something like that, I works wonders.

Yes, root explorer can delete any files.
That's about the only way we can remove/delete bloatware now.
Even the "System App Remover" and the "Root Uninstaller" app
from the play store no longer removes/uninstall bloatware.
Those apps also need to be upgraded so they can delete bloatware in the S4.
OP just make sure that instead of deleting the apps with root explorer you 'move' them to a folder in your sd card, that way if you mess anything up you can always move the apps back where they belong. Best of luck.

??? No problems with TB whatsoever and i've been using it on the S4 since the beginning a month ago.
It deletes everything i want to, even without having a backup of the item.
Soooo, I rooted, and installed Root App Delete to remove some factory apps, and removed a few. I am now wondering if I deleted something I shouldn't have, because I am now getting a message when I try uninstalling other apps. Noob move, if that is what happened. I thought I was careful in what I was removing. I have attached a screenshot of the message. Help please!

Just restore a backup(assuming you made one before messing around with system apps, if not, noob move 2, lol). Or worst case scenario, do a factory reset and start fresh, and Google what you want to delete and other safe apps to remove before going so good luck

True, true.
Will it stay rooted after the reset? Thanks for your help!

No, you will be back to the settings you had when you walked out of the store
Edit: Sort of...It won't reset whatever modem you have, nor the boot loader. You can always flash the stock tar as well.

Is there a way to backup your accounts, so when you wipe the phone, it's easy to reconfigure?

He was asking about backing up accounts.I do not think that can be done with Titanium.

I have titanium. I could create new zip file, but I'm just looking for bare phone setup. Besides, no recovery yet for Sprint variant.

I don't know of any way to back up accounts.
If you have a recovery installed and are rooted you can back up the entire phone but I don't know if just restoring accounts is possible using anything.
I feel your pain. For my company I have many email accounts. It is a pain to add them when I go to a new phone or something.

Hello guys, I am having a really hard time using G4 without root. My situation is: I have no other backed up data left without TB backed up database. Does anyone know any app which can scan that database & can restore at least the apks???
Really need this.

Install a file manager (I use Solid Explorer) that can read the .gz files. Go to your TB folder.
Click on xxxxxx.apk.gz, Solid Explorer will show the contents, click again, presto :good:
The included LG Backup tool is amazing. I used it for the first time the other night because I wanted to factory reset my phone (wasn't happy with battery or performance) and it basically works like backing up in Titanium.
