Which galaxy tab has the least amount of bloatware?
You can remove all the bloatware you want by rooting and using root explorer, just be careful
Well I preferably want to know about the use versions of the tab but if the European versions are than please let me know or is it just better to root the tab thanks
Unknown yeah it figured but I was just curious out of the 4th carriers which one had the least..... I was just curious to know
Yeah sorry my xda app is really annoying takes five minutes to let me post again and SwiftKey is annoying sometimes when it auto corrected but yeah it was just curious out if the four carriers which galaxy tab has the least amount of bloatware and is it worth rooting the tab.... was also curious about the lag you get from these samsung galaxy devices sometimes..... my vibrant was really slow sometimes

didn't get any with mine. The wares it did come with, like the thinkfree app and nova game were welcomed by me!
I have the sprint tab, came with sprint hotspot and some kind of sprint account manager so nothing too bad like I've seen on other devices

I'm pretty sure the Verizon Tab has the most bloatware

None came on mine that arrived today. It was sim free and just had the default samsung stuff I assume.
Does rooting void my warrantee?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Yes rooting will void your warranty.

And can it be put back to a factory default without them knowing?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Yes it can. Use z4root from the market to root and it has an option to unroot.

I am very familiar with rooting and all that jazz and have a droid 2 rooted and overclocked and undervolted blah blah blah. My fiance just got the epic 4g last night and she wants the bloatware gone and likes the general layout of the phone so not too much customization will be going on for her but I would like some advice from this side of the forums..
Can I rename the .apks to .apk.bak(what I've done for my droid 2) in the system app folder to get rid of the bloat??
And also is there a 4g hotspot hack because I see there are a ton of custom roms and such but she isn't really interested in all that so I was going to see if I could just install a .zip in clockwork recovery and get it to patch the files and install the hacked hotspot apk. That's what process I used for the droid 2 when enabling my 3g hotspot and figured it might be the same. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH
Having that said. On the wiki there are links to posts on what apps are safe to remove. Regarding hotspot, get yourself some android tether son. You need to be rooted, but it works great. I have sucessfully connected from metro detroit to our vpn in Germany w/o issue using it. I can't find the link right now because as you know the google servers are down

somewhere on here there is a thread of safe apks to remove. if you're rooted (there is a nice one click on here too) then you can get sdx stock app removed (search that too which can backup and remove any and all system apps. if you leave the ROM odexed (in its natural state and not deodexed like all custom ROMs) then you can benefit from the MobileAP ported from the i9000 which is on here too, search that sucker, that will give you infrastructure mode whereas wireless tether gives you ad hoc. some lappys cant connect to ad hoc. otherwise wireless tether is great, gotta get one of the recent pre's i think the current market version wont work on galaxy s yet. search google.
oh, and this is bound to get moved to general, not development.
Oh okay thanks very much for the info, they do things a little different over on the droid 2 forums so sorry for posting to the development side of the fourm.

interesting
Yet another reason I don't like Verizon.
Sprint will do it eventually. Just wait.
EVO Shift and XDA app
If I'm not mistaken, they're only gonna pull apps like pdanet but their aosp codes will still allow tether natively

This only affects stock rom users who don't use 3rd party markets or don't know about side loading like we had to do back when Google first blocked tethering apps for t-mobile with the G1. What Google is doing is nothing they haven't done before. Tethering apps can still be installed manually and is built into asop roms. In the end nothing of value was lost.

Yeah, it's a "stupid" tax. Are you too stupid/lazy to root a phone and use the root apps? I got my first android, a Shift, a few months ago and rooted it within a week. I am one of two people I know that has rooted their android out of 40 or so, some of them being programmers and IT guys. I am an English Teacher. WTF!
On a side note, I they pulled the two "tether for root users" apps from the market. Can anybody give me a working version for a sense rom on the shift for the "wired tether for root users' app? I can look up the apk on google but I don't know which one works as it seems to be a side project.
I have always used PDANet,even when my X10a was on 1.6. They are FORCING us to go online and download,all to extract and extort more money out of us,the customer,to satisfy shareholders. That's bull****!!

I was just curious of the perks that come with the Razr M root versus not rooting. I actually like the new 4.1.1 Jellybean, but am so used to the whole LauncherPro home. I know I won't use LauncherPro unless I really end up hating the stock Jellybean home. Also, people seem to say the amount of custom Roms is scarce at the moment for the "M". That's initially what makes me worry. I guess what I'm asking here, is it worth the risk of bricking my phone? I've rooted my Droid X in the past flawlessly, twice and then bricked it because of a low battery and my own impatience. I rooted my Motorola Atrix as well, but was very unpleased with results, so much so that I didn't even flash a Rom, not only that but everything went down hill from there in terms of productivity, uses and overall what killed it the most for me was the battery life. I'm a noob to the community and all of the facts, but I've definitely rooted before and let's be serious, it's not a hard thing to do. I just want to know if it's worth it? I love total control, productivity and mulitasking (plus the little perks that come with the root such as apps). But do you think rooting this specific phone is something for me? Thank you for your input in advance and sorry if there's already a similar thread, but I tried to make this one stand out a bit.
the only major reason i would suggest root is for directory bind (root app for folder redirection) because internal memory is reflected at sdcard0 and the ext-storage is reflected as sdcard1.
other than that there isn't a real point to it unless you unlimited data and want to tether.
also, titanium backup, one of the main reasons alot of us root, you can get rid of alot of that bloat and also apply some tweaks and stuff if your into it / know how.
Also to remove and/or block annoying ads and to use apps that require root access

First phone ever that I don't have root right off the bat. Biggest thing for me is all the ads. It's driving me crazy! Anyone have a non root block ads method? I've tried adblock plus and adguard. Neither does the job.
Adguard does if your premium otherwise I believe it's only browser ad blocking

Ah. Didn't know that. Looks like I'm going to have to breakdown and buy the premium
Good recommendation I had never heard of this app. Works great from what I have seen so far. Thanks again!
Yeah I use it on all my devices personally, works well

Root is the reason I haven't bought the S7 yet. Waiting a few to see if it becomes available. If not, I'll stay with my S4. Pathetic I know lol. But I FINALLY was able to root the S4 on OF1 a couple months ago and there's no way I'm going to go back to a crippled phone.
What kind of ads are you talking about? Ads outside of a standard pop-up in the web browser?
Ads period in browser, free apps that have their ad banners etc
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
Like MrWicked says. For example, if you play words with friends, yeah, I know, I'm lame, it has and ad banner as well as an ad after every move. Sometimes it's a video ad and there is no way to just exit or skip it.
There is a link from their site back to the dev link that opens an xda discussion on it's release back in 2014. It's 51 pages long, whew! I'm going to check it out as it sounds very good if it works with my antivirus and firewall, Bitdefender. They may bump heads.
Thanks for the info!
