If you haven't already found an answer, I've found this for you.
I haven't checked it out thoroughly, but it looks like it'll work.
Please read it thoroughly before making any changes to your device, and have a Nandroid backup just in case

The above may also work with other Language Sets.
I haven't tested it though....

Can someone test my app?

Hello all,
I am the developer of an app called NetLive, here is the official XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416570
A user is reporting issues when running this app on their Note II. I do not have access to this device, and would appreciate if anyone here could install my app and determine if it is working. Particularly, check whether the "Display active app" feature is working, which shows the user the app on their device that is currently using the most data.
Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.richardlucasapps.netlive&hl=en
I would really appreciate the help. Please reply to this thread when you test it, so other user know I am all set. Thank you!
Note: I posted this in the general Note II forum, but I now know the issue is with the T-Mobile variant so I am posting here

Go into settings -> apps -> open the carrier apps or any other app you wouldn't use and disable them one by one ... be careful not to disable system apps...
Hope this helps...

Get Package Disabler Pro for Samsung on the app store. You won't be able to disable a lot of the bloatware with only using the system settings.
The only issue is that using the default block list on the Package Disabler, Samsung Pay secure keypad won't work. Also make sure Samsung Push Service is not disabled or Samsung Backup won't work.

Thanks much!

Have you solved it?

I extracted call and text from other devices apk from my samsung s7 plus tablet with skit and tried to install it into my note 10 plus on at&t but I could not get it to install. If anyone can think of way to get this installed into my note 10 plus at& t I know alot of people would be happy ? I have searched and I do see it is part of the settings and I would have to put a new rom. But I having been using xda for the past 20 years and I know for a fact that the smart minds here make the impossible very possible .
