I thought I saw something about an app that had all of the stock Sprint S3 bloatware available for download on here somewhere but can't find it for the life of me. Too many people searching on how to REMOVE all the bloatware. Any help is mucho appreciato.

Are you on a TW rom, if you want all the stuff Sprint GS3 came with just flash Freeza's Stock rooted rom.

I'm actually on Cyanogen RC4. I'm looking for my friend whose on a stock rom (rooted) but, he deleted his bloatware and wants it back so he can receive the OTA.

He should just wipe dalvik and cache and reflash the rom, that would be a lot easier.
I would suggest Flashing freeza's Stock Rooted Rom as edfunkycold suggested. You can find it HERE. That way you retain Root. So if you want to change things, you have Full control .

The OTA will still most likely not work because he's rooted. Bloatware has nothing to with receiving ota. He might as well just flash Freeza's Stock rooted rom it is as stock as stock can be just rooted and flashable in a zip format. He would then have to freeze the Bloatware he wants frozen. Freezing them is a much better and safer option than deleting them.

I am unhappy with the Android 2.3.6 update. I want to downgrade to Android 2.3.5. The 2.3.6 update took away my 5.1 ch surround sound, increased RAM usage, causing me to reboot my phone constantly, and decreased battery life. Is there any way to downgrade? Will older downgrading methods work? Excuse me for my amateurness. I am an ex-iOS user.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Downgrading is the exact same thing as upgrading. Just flash the ROM of the firmware you want.
So i can do it with Samsung Kies? If not, can i use Odin but without rooting?

There's a Google music app and a android music app. I'm on mr xs stock rooted ciq free rom and have done a clean wipe and fresh install. I have 5.1 in this and its 236 rom based. It seems kinda dumb to downgrade for your reasoning when you can get the better version and still have what you seem to be missing.

Deebo took your bike too?
I found that there are 2 music applications in 2.3.6. I was using the new one. I am now using the old one with 5.1. Thank you for your two cents. I am now two cents richer. (no hard feelings. I just always wanted to use that line.)

There's not 2 "music" apps in 2.3.6!
You're doing it wrong.

Actually when I upgraded to 2.3.6 I had two music apps as well ... (What it was and I consider it a bug, I had upgraded google music from the market, but when I installed 2.3.6 it saw both the one included and the one I upgraded, it was a bug, I am sure of that)
So if you do not do a wipe when you upgrade you "may" see two music apps in this case, but being a bug, it may not show all the time
I had both google music and android stock music player with both 2.3.5 and 6. Clean wipe on both. New phone, i always factory reset when i get it, then same with update.. What 2 music app are people talking about and what bug?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
okay so i never installed Google music but its there. i updated it twice already but its still there. i cant delete it. i even factory rest it while on 2.3.6 and its still there. what am i doing wrong. i want to get rid of google music. it opens by itself and eats my battery quicker.
I think no matter what ROM you chose, it would have given you the same results. Maybe out need to go back to basics. Clear caches, and re-apply a ROM.
I couldnt root 2.3.6 and went to 2.3.5 and appkied a 2.3.6 rom and its still there.

You root 2.3.6 the same way you root 2.3.5. It worked for me anyway.
The superuser app was a bit of a pain to flash and didn't always take the first time around. I would have left 2.3.6 on your phone, installed cwm and made a backup and then flashed a 2.3.5 rom. Beats having to odin back to stock and what not.
Just leave the stock updated 2.3.6 version. Flash cwm through Odin, then flash superuser zip file. Its gonna fail couple of times, just keep flashing it.. It will go through just fine, then you have your updated version with root. Non of that BS deodex stock, custom rom..

decreased your RAM? RAM is hardware not software based. . .
Ok So I rooted my S3. Uninstalled a lot of bloat ware.
My question is... I never made a back up yet... so I am about to do it now.. by the way, I have not done any custom roms kernels or flashing yet... just removed bloat ware...
So from my understanding, I cannot reset the phone and get back all of the normal apps the phone comes with? Or can you?
And if you cannot, what is a way to? If possible at all. Thanks.
Well I know you can do it via this:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999/
by flashing a stock rom.
but is that the only way?
Isnsome of the threads with debloated roms have a link ton download the stock apps.

Ok thank you.. but i should still be fine tho right? Because it basically is the stock rom, just debloated.. so i can back that rom up and start doing my flashes and start trying out other roms right?
Yep. If you restore the backup it will just be a debloated backup.

Hey guys, im rooted on stock jb for tmobile with stock recovery. I wanna get custom recovery and flash back to ics and use a custom rom like wicked v7.
To do this do I just download goo manager, install its recovery, wipe then flash? Or do I have to change the firmware etc?
Sorry, I usually search for my solutions but im read mixed stuff on reverting and I really dont wanna brick this thing. I even kinda forgot how to do all this since I havent touched my old sensation in months.
Thanks guys.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yup.
If you're rooted, 1. download goo manager 2. install openrecovery script 3. flash ROM of choice. You may need to wipe cache and data if you get a bunch of FC's since you're going back to ICS from JB. Don't forget to do a nandroid (step 2.5).
Already on Frosty ics, but thanks guyss
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What I would first do is Odin the ics so you have all drivers installed properly then root and flash rom of choice
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I agree with Crisisx1. I know you said you're already running Frosty (I'm a Wicked guy myself) but if you notice any anomalous behavior, I'd definitely Odin to stock ICS and then go through the proper flashing process. This will ensure all of your partitions/drivers are properly set up. GL man.
So far so good, if any weird things happen ill deff odin back, thanks again guys.

Is it okay if I update if I'm rooted and is there any reason not to?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
If you update with kies you will loose your root. You will hate to root it again.
Also, if you have a custom recovery the update will set the stock recovery.
But for the update, the multi windows is nice but not all app are compatible.
That's why I went to a custom rom with unlimited multi window.

So ota ill keep root? I also read the update caused weird battery life
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know for ota because my status was modified and I was not able to get the update. I had a custom recovery, that's why.
For the battery life, I can't help you for this. I kept this rom for about one day and now I run the international "custom" rom with unlimited multi window.

You need to odin back to stock.. download the .tar in development section and follow directions. Its easy. You will need this if you ever want to go back to stock or un root for warranty etc

Yea that's what I was afraid of, lol. Honest opinion though, is it worth going back to stock this early? I'm sure no updates have been implemented yet right?

Entirely up to you, honestly it isn't that hard to make a backup of all your apps with 'Helium' and restore onto the stock rom, etc. It's the challenge everyone faces when flashing ROMs. I would wait until there's an update and see what changes it brings before reverting. But you will want to download the stock .tar for instances you need to go back to stock.
Is there a way to root the device again and still maintain having all blotware removed? Or will it add back all carrier and third party apps?
T.i.a

If you did a nand backup, it will install the bloat again and also with the .tar file unless stated bloat has been removed.

All official updates are complete with bloat, the only way is to install the update and remove the bloat afterwards or wait for someone to release a debloated rooted build.

Just wait. When an official update is released a debloated version usually appears on the forums that is prerooted and ready for CWM/TWRP.
I'm also getting the same message. Is it because super user is installed or because of my custom recovery? Or both? If I remove super user will it work? Or would I also need to flash the stock recovery?
I'm still on the stock rom

It's because we rooted, but uninstalling it won't reset it because of the ticker, anything installed after the factory condition will show it as custom.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
There is no official stock (yet) so your stuck like that
But if your rooted in the first place why does it matter you can install any firmware/software updates yourself
Official stock is out. Check the general forum.
