Most of the stuff on our phones are small and wont impact the phone wether you remove them or not. I usually just remove Google newstand, movies, magazine, everything samsung, and sprint zone. Thats really the only bloatware you should concern yourself with.

Does anyone use Chat-On?

I tried to find people, but I have no clue how to add friends. Do they have to have the app?
They do have to have the app and once you find out if they have it or not, you can add them by their phone number. Best app ever.

I never used it, actually froze the app. What is the benefits of using this app say over Google Talk?

Tried it. Found no use for it. Delete it.
I used it, it's good for texting with friends from other countries. But it's redundant if they already have facebook messenger.

I've never used because I don't txt much but but I know how feature rich these korean chat apps can be.
It does help if you're trying to send larger than MMS supported video files, so I guess that's a plus.
Never used it ... same here dont text that much ....

Between the unlimited text + Google Talk and Voice, I really don't need another messaging service, so it got deleted

I personally like it better than the stock one on my GS3. the problem is that not everyone would load this on their phones to text. mostly everybody uses the stock sms and don't care for something different. But how come there's no widget for this app?

Make sure you're using the default browser and not a 3rd party app.

Magna Carta compatibility

so the other day i saw a new app called magna carta and checked it out. for those of you that dont know what it is: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/06/2...tall-to-be-the-first-to-get-jay-zs-new-album/
now according to the article it would say your phone is not compatible when trying to install it, but when i did it went through the install and everything and said i would receive the album. im wondering if this is because i am on rootbox and the build is changed and it makes it compatible with the app.
what id like is for someone who is completely stock to try install the apps and post results. my theory is that if it wont let you install we could change the build.prop and trick it to think it was samsung thus letting any rooted android user have access to getting the album free.
funniest part is im not a rap fan nor a jay-z fan but i think this would be cool for those who are and dont have a galaxy.
I'm stock and rooted and unlocked but this is what i get.

I'm on AOKP and I was able to download it, so I'm wondering if you have 4.2.2 on your phone you can get it.
If this was the case than someone with a nexus could get it.

That's so weird cuz I checked the build.prop and it still says lg and what not

I checked the build prop on this rom and it hasn't been changed, so I'm not sure how I was able to get it, I was expecting to get the "not compitable with your device" message, but it gave me the install option.
I was able to download the album as well. I know a lot of s4 owners had problems with the app. Also I'm using Banks minimal gapps, so not sure if thats the reason why I was able to get it.

Heres a list of apps safe to remove from stock 4.3 rooted sprint s3

Nice. I'll have to give a few of them a try. I always worry about deleting something that I shouldn't.

saw 2 files you removed that I'm just giving an experienced warning on for others...if you remove the voicemail, you will not receive any notifications if you get voice messages, again I know from experience
not gonna double quote the other pic I saw but the google text to speech file, another 1 that if you ever use your phone on the road for gps, you will not get turn by turn voice directions...yes I've done this and experienced the loss of turn by turn voice
other than that, nice listings and compilation for users

Thank you for the for letting them know that , voicemail for me if I miss a call I just hit and hold 1 and takes you to the old style voicemail
And I dont use voice stuff at all for my phone kinda pointless to me when you have google on mobile web...lol...
Tell you what man deleting all this is amazing how much battery I have gained and how much smoother the phone and performance is
If you and any of you have anymore pointers for the apps being deleted please feel free to share
This list is the list I personally deleted because I never have or never will I use
hey man no problem, I'm like you, I rip all that crap out!! lol even the custom roms, but sometimes when I miss calls at work, I don't bother just dialing the voicemail and next thing you know, I get the message over a week late lol gotta love the space it all frees up too and speeding up the phone and saving battery life for sure
again good posting up of the pics for people to actually see and follow along
