I'm looking for a simple way to get rid of all the extra bloatware. I don't mind if I have to root and flash a "custom stock rom" to do so. I want to remain stock as possible what is the best solution for this?
BTW I already unlocked my phone don't know if that's going to be an issue.
Thank you XDA.
Clean rom for the win but any rom will do.

Have you gone in to the application settings and disabled the apps that you don't want to run? You can disable several of them there.
Yes, you can go to settings>application manager then tap on an application then click disable.
Only issues is that it still on you phone taking up precious space with useless crap. Custom ROM has many benefits:
1. No bloat
2. Multi-window (with any app)
3. WiFi tether
4. Many more useful toggles in notification area
5. Improved battery life
Root uninstaller. Works great

you can root your phone and install any custom rom. And custom whatever you like
I don't want to use a rom. I want to be most stock as possible.

Then you should wait for the Att OTA. Tmobile OTA is due 12/19/12. ATT should follow within the next 2 years. Att can be a little slow.

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!

no lol. best reasons to root right now are good phone backups, decent file explorers, and interface modifications. There are a few other niche reasons to root but a regular user should be just fine. this phone's really good.
The Note 2 runs great without rooting.
And its nice that you can disable unwanted apps as mentioned above.
And if u dont like the main UI (touchmywiz) then just download another launcher like Nova or golauncher.
Problem with most Roms is there is usually something that doesnt work...thats just part of it.

Yes stop floundering and just root the Note. Its painless and mostly one click. With Triangle Away, you can easily wipe the flash counter if you ever need to unroot the phone and return it for warranty or whatever.
I rooted for the ability to:
1. Use Titanium Backup to backup app data and freeze/uninstall bloatware && system apps (TB alone is worth rooting.)
2. Use ADblock. (Seriously refuse to EVER look at ads on my phone)
3. CUSTOM ROMS. (The biggest reason to root. My phone has JEDI-ROM which is a BEAST of a ROM. Unlimited Multi-window with ANY app, the FORCE optimizations, and BATTERY LIFE. My N2 was getting about 14 hours from a full charge on stock rom, now it gets on average of 24-30 HOURS on one charge. I don't even charge it during the night anymore.)
ATT won't be sending out any updates for the phone until a couple of months at least. Will Multi-Window even be included? Who knows. If it is included, it WONT be compatible with any app like the modded version.
If you make a list of WHY NOT, and WHY SHOULD you root, the WHY NOT list will be alot shorter. The flash counter is really the only "permanent" change you are making to the phone that will void warranty, but like I said there is a Root method which doesnt trip the counter, or you can use Triangle Away to wipe it.
I was happy un-rooted for the past 3 to 4 weekst, but i needed root access so I could use Root Explorer to delete a file so I could get flash to work with Dolphin Browser.
Sunday I rooted and flashed Jedi 3.2 ROM. I also had to flash a different Kernel so it would recognize my SanDisk 64GB Ultra MicroSD card. Now I'm enjoying Multi-View and no bloat. Hard to say but my battery live seems improved. That could be just a matter of usage not different. Time will tell. But I'm happy I finally rooted and flashed a custom ROM.
If you need to you can always go back to stock for warranty issues, but I've never had to do that.
Sorry to ask this... but can someone just provide a simple link to a easy-to-do root method, without me having to wade through hundreds of different threads and thousands of different posts? I am very new to rooting. I've only done it once, with my old HTC EVO 4G, and that was seamless because it was a one-click root method. All of these other subsequent root methods for other phones, including the Note, seem really intricate and they seem to require tons of time I don't have to devote to reading. If an easy root method is available, with instructions, I thank anyone in advance for directing me towards it. I only really want to root for Titanium Backup and also to improve battery life. I can't get these crazy on-screen times other non-rooted (or so they claim) folks are getting, so it seems like rooting will be the only way I can dream of getting it.
I'd like the same.. simple explanation and instructions..

To root fast and easy:
Download this and extract:
http://download.chainfire.eu/280/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip
unplug your phone for the pc,
run odin3 v1.85. click pda and then select cf-auto-root...md5
Make sure the box "re-partition" is not checked.
Hook your phone up to your usb port on your pc. wait a few seconds for that first box to turn green then click start.
your phone will reboot on its own and then you're done.
Follow this to the letter. I basically just summarized a guide i used but could not find again to link you to it.

The only reason I haven't rooted mine yet is because I am lazy...lol...lol...lol
Should you root yours...is a matter of personal perference really.Since you already know a little about it..you know what to look for and what to expect.
Do you like it as it is...or do you want to start flashing various mods & themes and different roms ?
It's no different than your S2 really in regards to this...except these run nice as they are out of the box...
I'm not a big fan of Touch Wiz...or any other skin someone has put on it...and while the virtues of the S-pen apps that come bundled with it are nice...I know it won't be long till they or some good substitutes are offered out of it as well...I just didn't buy my Note II for the S-pen...I bought it because of what it can be...and because of the hardware it already employs...Since I enjoy mixing and matching various things to make my phone unique and the best for me......rooting mine is only a matter of time..
I see a bright future for this phone and what has been done so-far is only a scratch on the surface of it...
Root it and play around with it..or keep it stock...either way enjoy it.

Rooting doesn;t seem that hard to do. What I'm worried about is how to install a custom ROM and making sure I did everything right. I feel like there's different instructions depending on the rom I see and sometimes there's no instructions at all!
I put ICS on the HP Touchpad that I got cheap but that is the extent of my knowledge on this topic. I'd really love to have Multiview because ATT can't do their jobs but I'm worried I'd screw up. Is there a detailed explanation or online video showing me how to install a rom like Jedi for example?

Can I ask why not? I get not wanting to go as far as custom roms, but with adblockers and access to the system and data partitions, you can do quite a bit without having to go for a full rom.

Have to agree with lickarock. There's still quite a lot you can do without going all out like full ROMs. If you simply root your phone and load SuperSU (SuperUser), you can load something like ES File Explorer and do simple installs of apk files through there. You really don't have to worry about bricking your phone in that situation.
While I do load different roms on my N2, like you, I just wanted to get blacked out apps also. I'm running blacked out Gmail and Facebook currently, which I loaded through ESFE. Just make sure you uninstall the original apps then install the apks through ESFE and reboot. Everythings running smooth on my phone.
I've had a few scares loading different ROMs where my phone wouldn't boot up and I thought I maybe bricked my phone.......luckily I got it back up and running. Battery pulls suck.......lol
Just be sure to read through all the posts that you find which interest you. Typically, people post issues they are having and possible fixes. If you want to run different roms or something later, just be sure your phone is running the correct specs for it, ie....your baseband version is MA7 vs MC2, not all roms are compatible with multiple versions.

If you choose not to root, there are still several ways to have a highly customized phone.
Personally, I am a fan of rooting. I have rooted every android phone I have had except my Note 2. Long story short, I bought my Note 2 through my business and cannot afford to run into any headaches that can sometimes pop up even to the most experienced flasher. I will say the Note 2 is also the first android phone that I haven't felt the need to root for increased performance. CPU, RAM, Battery life, this phone has all three for days.
I created a thread dedicated to creating a custom look without root. And in many ways this is the most custom phone I've ever had.

Anyhow, thanks elflip88. Thats what i was running too and i am able to disable it. But i am asking because the developer of light flow is absolutely thrilled to know i have fixed this issue that he has been trying to fix for months. But the only way to implement this fix is by either deleting the stock browser or flashing it through recovery.
I am working on modding the apk further to allow for a regular install without root. That way people who aren't rooted can still benefit. However, if one is not able to disable the stock browser, and they install my modded one, they will have two "internets" in their app drawer xD So im hoping stock system allows one to disable the browser.

Why not use stock rooted and customize it with xposed? Tethering has a workaround on this forum that seems to work for many people and using xposed with wanam you can enable call recording. Use titanium backup to freeze any apps you don't want.

Cool thanks +3, would also like to upgrade to 4.4.2 or 4.4.3.
xposed seems to crash my system every time I try to install it.
Id hold off on flashing non tmobile 4.4.2 til an official release, else youll be stuck on that bootloader for awhile. Im thinking we should see an official release of 4.4.2 soon..

This is not true, I have Vision 4.4.2 built and working, and you can roll back to 4.3 no problem....and when this so called official release does hit, that would be the one that will lock you into 4.4.2, until a dev gets ahold of it and does their thing. Be careful....
You do NOT want to do an upgrade over the phone, that is a sure way to get stuck on 4.4.2.......

WiFi tether router by Fabio. Search on the play store, costs 2 bucks or so and totally worth it. Follow his directions on his page, there's a link from the play store.

Wicked V5 and chose the stock theme in Aroma..... you don't have to activate X posed or Wanam if you don't want to. I think it's as close to debloated/stock and stable you can get. Everything works fine for me. No crashes/no FC's nothing. Wifi calling/tethering. ..... and then you can flash DD Blacked out stock theme and it's just Tits.......
