Did anyone ever figure out how to freeze or delete My Magazine without causing other issues? I'm on 4.4.2. Thanks
You can flash this if you are using a stocked based deodexed rom.
It has been a few months since I made it, I believe it is a 4x5 grid also.
Once you flash it, you can safely remove My Magazine. I have edited the smali to remove all calls to that app.

Just got a Bravo a couple of days ago. I have already rooted, and deleted some of the obvious bloatware apks. But I don't want to go any further until I know that other not so obvious apks are ok to delete. And I am not interested in flash custom ROMS. Thanks!
As far as I know the only AT&T app you need is the AT&T music player if you wish to listen to the fm radio. Otherwise all the att app's + vlingo can be deleted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459 This is a pretty comprehensive list developed for the Atrix (another Motorola/AT&T phone). I haven't had any issues freezing all of the mentioned apps. (You might want to try freezing them before you delete, just in case)
I really love the TouchWiz launcher. But i miss to hide my apps in drawer. Is there a way to get 4.3 launcher to 4.4.2, or a mod that can fix it for me?
I've tried the 4.3 launcher with 4.4.2 but it gives FC
yep. that was what I first noticed with the update. try putting them into folders.
cheers ~
This really isn't good enough! WTF is Samsung thinking? There should be no reason for removing this functionality? It seems to also be something built within the firmware; it is not launcher related in otherwords, I found this out because when I was running Android 4.3 I had flashed an update to run the S5 launcher and icons theme. When I did this I was still able to hit the menu button and select apps that I wanted to hide. Since upgrading to Kitkat I noticed as you did that I was no longer able to do this, that was ok I just thought to myself "No problem I will just flash the launcher upgrade and theme for S5 on my S3 as I did before and that should allow me to unlock this functionality" NOT CAN DO! Both the stock Kitkat launcher and the S5 theme upgrade do not unlock this functionality unfortunately Someone is going to have to find out where the issue lies and try to port it back? If I find the answer I will make sure I post back here with a fix.

Download the s5 launcher from one of our threads. Flash it. And you have the hidr feature again.
Or just install a 3rd part touchwiz launcher themed app..you have that function
Mi launcher..nova..apex..go...any if these launchers do provide this function
Press Thanks if I helped

I'm running 4.4.2 on a rooted Note 3.
I was wondering... if I downloaded stock android apps like... dialer/contacts, camera, gallery, clock... can I just freeze the stock Samsung ones via Titanium Backup and use the stock android ones as default? Would that work normally? Anything I should take into consideration?
Thanks =)

I don't think simple like that .
especially if you take it from other device. And even same device, if you take it from AOSP, you can't just simply uninstall old one, and replace new one. you will have FC.
Because samsung apps if a modded to work on TW framework, and the AOSP apps some need modification first to be able to work on TW framework.
I could be wrong

Hey note 3 forum
i just rooted my wifes note 3 (n9005) and was searching for a debloat script that i could run to remove all that samsung bloatware.
unfortunately i wasnt able to find a up to date script for lollipop
the best i could find was that list of apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470862
i wanted to avoid intalling a new rom or going through titanium backup to freeze apps one by one
so is there anything i havent found?
thanks in advance!
You'd be better off using Titanium to manually remove anything you don't want. One person's bloat is another person's essential app. Besides, it only takes a few minutes.
Wise words. However, is there a safe list of apps we can freeze/uninstall with TB?
Hello,
I was pereviously using the UI 2.1 version which had no issues with the gallery stock app and the editing features it comes with. But after the new update UI 2.5, I am unable to use the editing features from the gallery app. This made me have to resort to using a 3rd party app to replace the gallery stock app. Does anyone know what services may I need to enable for the gallery stock app editor to work properly again? The app just closes itself when I try to do anything like resize or crop the screenshot. Better yet, if its possible to downgrade back to 2.1 UI if on a non-rooted device since I think the other issue is the internet connectivity after updating to 2.5. But it fixed when restarted.
Did you update the gallery? There's a new version out. You can use Odin the flash previous firmwares as long as it's the same bootloader you're currently on.
