Just rooted my N3 with Knox still at 0x0 :good::good:
Thanks @designgears
Can anyone suggest some good apps to remove bloatware that will let me choose what to delete? Or is it best to go into system/app myself?
thanks all

Titanium Backup
Yup Titanium Backup is what I use as well. Best program to freeze/remove apps as well as back them up.

Yea its turning out pretty good. Starting to Freeze now. Ill wait a while before uninstalling..just to be safe.
Is it possible to Change the color of the dialer? or delete the stock dialer and move another dialer to system/app? If so anyone know of any good Dialers?

You can back them up before you uninstall them in case you want to put them back.

Also, Is it safe to run ROM toolbox with Titanium backup and freeze apps using both?

I use both ROM toolbox and TB. But only use TB to freeze apps. I'm not sure why you would use both to do the same thing. I don't know of any decent (free) dialers I'm still using the touchwiz dialer. I'm hoping that this theme gets ported over.
Edit: Check this theme out. I'm using it now

If your not rooted you cant. If you are rooted use a file manager to go to /system/app and delete, or move the apk's of the apps you dont want. Be carefull dont delete the wrong thing or you may bootloop your phone. Alternativley you could use titamnum backup or other apps on the market to freeze the system apps you dont want.
If you don't want to get too technical with moving apk's there is always titanium backup paid version which lets you freeze apps. After moving the apks on my incredible and then moving them back for OTA updates I wanted something easier for the bionic I got. Titanium lets me freeze them so they don't run, or show up in the app list. The free version doesn't do it but i think the 5$ or whatever was worth it for me.

to add to this. if you rename the file from .apk to .bak and re boot, and if the phone doesnt FC like craze you can go back and delete the .bak files. i did this in the beginning to make sure i wasn't deleting something that would harm my phone.
here is also a list that is ok to delete.

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

thank you so much for your help guys! the titanium software worked! I've got all that junk i didn't want deleted.... saved me a ton of headache since I have to look through the phone a thousand times to find the one piece of software i wanted.
I feel like an idiot for asking this question but can i uninstall Xperia Home and have Nova Launcher be my only launcher?
Also are there any losses from doing this and any other bloatware used in this package?
Thanks In Advance! :good: :fingers-crossed:
If you have root, yes. Just make sure to install the new launcher BEFORE removing the stock launcher. To remove the stock launcher, delete it from /system/app/ or just uninstall it with TitaniumBackup

Be sure to make a Titanium backup first....would suck if you uninstalled it and didn't have a backup just incase and had to reflash to stock.

Yeah i did. All done. Anyone know an app to move to system? Or do i move it from data/app/ to system/app/ ????
I've done that actually. It really don't matter where u hav the launcher in. As long as u hav another launcher u can use it as a replacement.

Install stock launcher apk, then uninstall nova either thru titanium backup or delete thru system/app using a file explorer
Edit: and don't forget to reboot after removing nova

Download any deodexed stock rom and open up the zip and get \system\app\Launcher2.apk. It's as easy as that . If you want to remove a launcher, open up the .zip and just delete it before even flashing the rom (though make sure you replace it with another). You can usually add/remove apk's from the rom .zips before you flash all you want as long as you do not force md5 checks when flashing (well, as long as you don't remove any essential apks).
MD5 check before changing apks
Do check for MD5 before changing apks, so that you know nothing else is different except the changes you made.
Simple way

You don't have to use other aps to get ride of it. Just delete some chache and data of Nova, reset nova setting, then you can uninstall it, forever from your smartphone. As simple as simple it self

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.
