I've had my GS4 since Monday, and I'm loving it. Now that I've played around with it for a couple days, it's time to debloat it! I've done it once before already, but I must have deleted an app that was important, because i kept getting force closes every 5 minutes. I've already searched the forums, and haven't seen that anyone has posted a list of "Unnecessary" stock apps.
If anyone knows of a thread with that info, please direct me!
Just use Kies to recover back to original. Under tool setting.

I knew that list was floating around.
But its old,but mostly the same as what I got in root explorer under sys/apps,or data/data.
Still cant find pro apps.theres a app pro file,but I remember I deleted that before,with the data file,but it was still there.but thanks for attempting to help out with such a minor request.

I have utilized the search function and found 1-2 threads on acceptable apps to remove. However, there were none that I found that were specific to the Sprint GS3. Can I still resort to the other threads or should I just wait until one developes for the Sprint variant?
Thanks in advanced!

Can we get a dev to help us out with this? I am especially interested in how to stop Chat On from re-installing
there are roms that are already debloated which you might want to check out.. Blazer rom is pretty popular. if you read through the post, there is a zip file with all the bloat removed.. you can use it as a reference.

Yep...I was gonna say the same. And if there were no complications after freezing them, then it's backup and uninstall. Always worked for me...no problem.
Brought to ya by way of my GS3 from T-town, OK.

You can also disable them in your applications menu if you're on a stock rom. Essentially its the same as freezing in TB

Rom Toolbox LIte
I usually use Rom Toolbox Lite or Titanium to remove the apps that I do not want. Works great. I always reboot after. I highly recommend the Jellybomb Domination ROM. It is becoming a great rom and he removes all the bloated stuff that we don't want or need.
So this has been going on for a while and I've just ignored it, tried to search up a fix
But couldn't find anything.
Anyone else had this problem?

Please add more info like Rom and version number
Doesn't happen with other browser apps

Sorry. I use Chrome and dolphin.
Also I'm not rooted either.
I know there was a small update a while back but if I remember correctly it didn't start right after that

I had this happen a while ago. The clipboard was corrupted. There is a procedure to clear it. I will look for it.
Edit:
Take a look at what I posted over here:

Let me know (and click thanks) if this fixes your problem.

Are you rooted? You can clear it without a reset if you are rooted.
Edit: Just saw your later post that you are not rooted. Some have reported that they could clear the clipboard by deleting items using Polaris Office. You might try that but it did not work for me.
Another thread on the issue can be found here.

Never mind. To copy apps you need access to the system folder which means you would need to root.

Yeah but you need the pro version for it to be downloaded on another device....

you could odin a custom recovery image, boot into recovery and create a nad of your phone and then dropbox it for safe keeping. Flash the original recovery - i think i saw it in the development threat - and check the flash counter to see if you tripped it... if you did then you'll have to follow the instructions in the dev thread on how to reset everything to stock, it'll take a bit of the search function and some reading but should be releatively easy.
I'm currently on 4.2.2 using SlimBean. I tried to upgrade to 4.3 using Odin and it softbricked my phone, and took almost all night of going in circles getting it to come back (my boyfriend walked me through it, and saved it, phew). I don't know where to go from here or how to go about it without screwing anything up like last time.. can anyone help? D: (I'm also pretty newbie at this, I'm sorry. D: )
We tried to google and search everywhere for how to properly do this or how to do this without screwing up like we apparently did! Also, upgrading his using Odin worked... mine didn't. T_T
And does anyone have any suggestions for the least buggiest roms out there? I always seem to flash ones that give me major problems (phone randomly turns off or restarts, camera doesn't work, random things crashing, losing service permanently, etc.)
Thanks!
Which 4.3 ROM are you trying to upgrade to?

Well, I'd like to run Quantum but I thought I had to upgrade to 4.3 first as I'm currently on 4.2?
Someone feel free to move this if needed but has anyone found a way to store photos on 4.3 camera to external SD card?
