I dont use 99% of these apps. At the same time i dont know what is safe / not safe to remove.
I would flash a already debloated rom. Probably easier.

Try the GS3 R6 ROM. I think you'll like it.
I just got the sg3 today after having the nexus one last couple years and xda nexus one forum. Loved the n1 but just time to upgrade. I have a lot to learn about the sg3. How do you root the easiest way? Also best idea for long battery life. Any other info I need. Thank you and glad to be here.

Welcome to the S3 family
Easiest way to root?
Download the T-Mobile image from this thread and extract the .tar file
Flash with ODIN.
Or you can choose a different method, but you will have to ODIN custom recovery onto the phone first.
Go to this thread for guides on rooting/flashing, etc.
As for the battery, read this article about battery conditioning.

Well for starters you can look at whats been removed from the debloated rom and debloat yours to match.
Additionally, you can just search these forums as there will likely be multiple threads about whats safe to remove.
Additionally+, you can buy Titanium Backup and freeze the apps one by one. If they dont cause problems when frozen they are safe to remove.

Hey Mike,
I would recommend installing a custom recovery, I highly recommend Clockwork mod. Make a backup of your system to be safe, so that you can always restore if needed. Next use a file manager with root permissions, I HIGHLY recommend Root Explorer. Create a folder on your sd card called backup_bloat (or anything really). Go to your app drawer and start jotting down the bloat. I'd recommend getting rid of all the TMobile stuff, as well as most of the samsung apps. Once you have a good idea of what to get rid of, go into your system -> apps folder and look for the same icons. Instead of just deleting the files, use the multi-select option in root explorer to select all the ones you want to get rid of. Once done, move them into the backup_bloat folder. Reboot. Test your device out thoroughly for a day or two. If it works great, you can get rid of the backup_bloat folder. Any errors, and you may have removed something needed by the phone. This is my standard debloat process, and it works well for me without having to install any custom roms.
Hope this helps!

i pulled these from the dump. this is NOT a flashable zip! just download and transfer over to your media folder or pick and choose what you want. enjoy! :good:
if theres something else someone wants/needs let me know...if you request something, chances are i may not have tested it myself. in any case, the most appropriate thing to do to see if it will work is to push to /system/app, install like a normal apk, change permissions and reboot
*media/sounds* download here
*wallpapers* get em here
*polaris office 4 and paper artist* get em here
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll leave these here just in case someone smarter than me can get these working
*camera and music player uploaded per request* get it here <---reported to be non-working on s3

All, I tried renaming everything to match what was being replaced. Then I did not rename anything. I tried installing them normally. I tried everything I could think off. I'm guessing it's because the note 2 runs on JB on the rom I'm on is ICS. I'll try them tomorrow with one of our leaks.

Is the gallery a flash-able zip? How do you install the gallery apk? Do you push it to sytem>app along with the odex file and should I or do I have to back up the original gallery apk?
2 apps added to OP, polaris office 4 and paper artist

Found it last night.
You need to be rooted.

If you have root already just edit the xml file option and that's it. Or flash a rom with this already done.

I take no credit for this, Just found threads in other furums and wanted to put them in ours forums.
Here is a thread for GoogleHome with the search bar fixed, kept FC for people. flash the (New)googlehomev2 then after you boot up install the PrebuilGmsCore.apk file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506449
Here is the thread where the apk files are, also comes with all the apps as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507529
Here are some screen shots of what it looks like.
Working on a installer that has all the new apps in it.
Here is a installer i put together with the Gapps, just flash and pick the ones you want, before you reboot you need to fix permissions. (aroma is a little touchy sorry, just hit the options to proceed a couple times then it will go)
http://d-h.st/PkM
Here is what the Readme file says from the link above:
By TweakerL
By no mean I take credit for any files in this package. All I have done is put everything in a single place and write these instructions.
Please read all these instructions before proceeding, failing to do so will most likely result in stupid questions, in which case I'll have to make fun of you.
1. Every app can be installed, i.e. you don't have to copy them to /system/app.
2. In order for Google Now/Google Seach to work properly you MUST copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so to /system/lib, replacing the original when asked.
3. In order for the Camera to work properly (namely the photosphere) you must copy libjni_filtershow_filters.so, libjni_mosaic.so and liblightcycle.so to /system/lib.
4. Some of the apps depend on Google Services 4 in order to work. Because of this I highly suggest that you install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk before installing any of the other apps.
5. You may not be able to install Maps.apk until you uninstall the one already present in your device.
6. Anything that requires adding/replace lib files requires that you be rooted. No way around it.
7. Before replacing/uninstalling anything that's already installed on your device, I suggest you perform a backup of the original in case anything should go wrong. You've been warned!
Thanks bro!! When I have some spare time I will check this out.

These are just the apks, doesn't have lib files, the lib files in the links are for the camera only. The apks I don't think need them or they are built in the app itself

Yup. Followed a few of the instructions in the linked thread and everything I did worked. I didn't really care for the format so I reverted back to Nova but yeah, it worked for me.
This is really cool - love what GOOGLE NOW has become and despite a few things I would like differently, the GOOGLE HOME launcher is pretty cool.
I noticed that I have had to re-install the GOOGLE Core apk thing (whatever that is called) each time I reboot - which is kind of a pain - do you know if someone has come up with a fix that would let you install everyhting once and then you would be done with it?
Just the same - thanks for making us aware of this - very cool - h

I installed yesterday from a completely different perspective. Downloaded 3 separate files, home, velvet, and prebuiltcore. Click installed velvet, copied home.apk to system/app then rebooted phone. Ran fix for Google search found on phandroid. For some reason, my phone has no use for the prebuiltgmscore.apk. previous attempts renaming to gmscore and copy pasting into system/app failed for me. Weird, but I am not complaining as it work flawlessly.
