If your device is rooted,why you just uninstall all this bloatware (or just disable it,like the 3 rd post).With greenify,you can not stop a system application (like Watch on)

I use Gemini App manager to configure the autorun of each app.
It means you can keep the app installed and enabled but the app will only run on user allowed conditions.

Exactly, just delete the APKs you don't use from
Code:
/system/app

I didn't even know you could install Whatsapp on a tablet. I thought you needed a phone number for that?

The phone number doesn't have to be on the device as long as you confirm it.

If not launcher, what theme and icon set? That is a very sweet looking screen shot that some ipad owners I know would cringe to see on my Note!
Install whatsapp From their site. Use a different phone number then the one on your mobile phone ( don't have to be a mobile number )then confirm it with a Sms or if you don't use a mobile number they will call you for the confirmation code .Confirm it and your good to go!!!
I am using nova launcher with some icons i collected over the years.Here is a dropbox link: https://db.tt/nNdy71J2

Hi everyone,
I was trying to get my i9500 rooted.
Successfully done.
SU is there, Titanium Backup works etc.
But, the Adaway did not do his job. I still receive the Ad messages on my notification bar!
The Adaway is working great on my Note 10.1, S2 and S3 but in S4 is looking like no working.
Also, the Root Uninstaller have a strange behavior: is uninstalling the app but the message come as the app was not successfully uninstalled!
I am the only one having this issues? I did not rooted properly the S4?
I have trying different types of rooting. The same issue.
Any advice?
Thank you all

I agree with this. It will be a pain in the butt to test this, but try freezing or uninstalling everything. (Make a titanium backup of all your apps first, then uninstall them all)
Then resintall them in groups of like 5 or 10 at a time. Wait however long it usually is between these Chinese messages to restore the next group. I'll bet you see the messages stop when you uninstall everything, then see them return only after restoring the block of apps that contain the one that's letting messages through.
For this experiment, freezing should work just as well as uninstalling. Might be easier that way.
Or do it the other way and freeze blocks of 10 at a time to see what makes the messages stop.
Once you identify the block of 10 that contains the 1 bad one, repeat the experiment 1 app at a time within thsoe 10.
You can also take educated guesses on which of your apps are the most likely to be the bad apple. Titanium and ROM Manager and other popular apps that everyone else is using with no problem probably aren't your bad app. I'd start with the more obscure ones you have. Also check the feedback on teh Play store of your more obscure apps. See if other people are making the same complaints you have about one of your apps. (That only works though if the app has some level of popularity. If it's got 12 downloads you're unlikely to have anyone leaving feedback on it)
I do agree with all of you.
The messages are coming form a app or game! Thrue!
But how do you explain that, all other my devices, Note 10.1, Galaxy Pad 10.1, S2 and S3 have the same App and games instaled does not have any problem and only S4 have?
Non of the others, after installing AdAway, have no f...ing Chinese messages, and the S4 have?
Same App same games.....
My S4, I9500, is on stock 4.3 room with Perseus kernel.

Adaway has nothing to do with ad notifications, only with ad banners. Once I saw an app that can detect and block that notifications but I don't remember its name. Maybe you can search in gplay...

Ok, but this did not explain why all other devices with same app, games I dont have, after installing adaway are stopping the Chinese messages and the S4 not!
May the adaway block the notifications also, because is blocking the access to add sites...

Maybe that messages are programmed to be shown only in a S4 device (for example advising any weather app) and but in other models... there are a lot of possible explanations to that...

Yesterday I uninstall the AdAway from all other devices.
Immediately, the messages in notification bar started to come.
I reinstall it again and the messages stoped.
Meaning that the messages there are not only for S4!

There should be a list somewhere of all this pre-loaded bull**** so you can remove it without missing any.
Without root you can't install WA+.
Disabling WA ist maybe possible, but anyhow, you can't install WA+!
It's so unbelievable from Samsung.
I've written Samsung and complained about this. Also on Facebook. Public is always more effective. Maybe if more complaints come, possibly something happens
Facebook App ist also a System App and can't removed, or no old version can't be used.

Not sure what would actually be effective. People have complained about pre-installed apps on Android for, what, five years now? It's never done any good, and the hundreds of millions of additional Android users since back then clearly haven't made the complaints any more effective, either. The option of rooting is there, for people who want to completely have them removed from storage. Otherwise, disabling the apps gets rid of the icons and takes care of any performance hit. The actual size they take up is less than one half of 1% of device storage, so they're really not a big deal. It's just the psychological effect of knowing they're there. I've just learned to ignore it.
After coming from the Nexus 5 with its lack of expandable storage, I learned pretty quick that a couple megs for a stock app make a poor target for blame when I'm angry because I've got nowhere to put a 500+mb game I bought.
-Edit: On the other hand, when a preinstalled app makes it impossible to install another version of the same app from the store, it might go further to train yourself to treat that sort of thing like a bug. Report it to their technical support and act incredulous that they'd let such broken behavior into a production release. ;P
Inspired from the Note 5 thread, install the app Package Disabler Pro from the play store and post your experience and configuration.
No Root needed!!!

Please share your

I gust buy it from playstore and i used the disable all bloatware option except facebook ,one drive,s health and smart management.
Ram usage at startup 72% and a lot smoother ui experience i think.
Here is my configuration.
Only disabled unneeded apps.

Battery life seems quite good.
I can confirm that my phone never before was so smooth!
Great!!!!!!
I need to do this. I am lucky to get 3hr 30 out of the phone on full battery nevermind on 50%!
