Hi everyone. I used to have the Galaxy S5 with XtreStoLite_ROM which is super debloated. and I liked it so so much of course because it was super debloated. I bought LG G3, the htc m8, sony, nexus 6. and every time I go back to the Galaxy S5 because I want a super debloated phone. anyway I bought the Note 4, I really liked it and want to keep it but unfortunately, it has a lot of bloat even if I freeze or disable or delete the apps that I don't want using titanium or anything similar. I want to remove everything except the things that make the phone work probably. Can anyone help me how can I do that. I have the N910C. All the ROMs out there has also a lot of bloat. Please help me I really want to keep the phone and not lose money.
Thank you so much,

Hi Folks,
I still think that the S4 is one great phone to have. It has been pretty fast.
I have rooted the phone and uninstalled some of the bloatware.
I still think i have alot more to uninstall but I am afraid of deleting crucial applications that will affect my normal usage.
This is my first android phone after 4 years of being an iphone user.
I simply want reliable, fast and long battery on my phone.
Can you pro-level guys give me a list of the stuff that I can uninstall safely?
Thank you so much
there's already at least one thread discussing this... here's one

Hello,
I have just joined the XDA Developers forum because I am getting tired of my small iPhone 5s and would like to try out the Samsung Galaxy S5! I had an Android device before on Verizon and I switched to iPhone because of all the bloatware and features Verizon disabled. That was before I discovered this forum and all of the great tweaks I can utilize in order to make the phone ultimately the way I want it to.
Since then, I have come across a "bloatkill.zip"script that claims it will remove any bloatware that I tell it to.
That being said, I was wondering which apps are safe to delete and if "flashing" that script on my (soon to purchase) Galaxy S5 will not harm the phone at all?
Thank you, I apologize for my ignorance in advance (I am just now learning all of the Android lingo)!

Have to have root first. Root not available yet.
Hi all,
Just got a Note 3 from swappable to finally retire my Galaxy Nexus and I have a few questions.
I'm actually okay with the stock "ROM" if you will as I've substituted the Google Now launcher for Samsung launcher.
I just want to root the device in order to enable tethering and for the ability to remove the bloat ware Verizon applications. Is this something that's possible or would I have to get a completely new ROM? For the record also I'm on 4.4.2 so I'm not even sure it's rootable.
Any ROM recommendations or anything else would also be appreciated.
Thanks!
Edit: it looks like eclipse may be the ROM I'm looking for. Any reviews would be appreciated
Eclipse ROM would be the way to go if you like the stock android look. Check out JasmineROM, I'm running it as my daily driver, it is a compete S5 port. Amazing battery and buttery smooth. Its in the development section.

If all you want to do is just get rid of bloat you can just root and use Titanium backup to get rid of it. If you wish to start using roms here's a quicklist I made to help someone which kinda gives you everything in one post....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55003142&postcount=3
Hi,
I'm a longtime iOS user that just bought a galaxy s5 to see if it was good for me, I however have been disappointed because of all the annoying software that comes preloaded that slows the phone down, I tried out a nexus 5 and loved it however I had received the international version which wouldn't work with Sprint, so I thought I'd try the S5 and I like it except I wish it was more like the nexus 5(non-laggy, etc...) so now I'm curious...is there anything out there that will turn the sgs5 basically into stock Android like nexus 5? How do I install them? I couldn't find any reliables build on cyanogenmod nor could I figure out how to backup in case I wanted to revert back to standard android that came with it...I don't know if I put enough research into finding what I'm looking for but I googled and read stuff that I didn't quite understand most of the day. Any help would be very appreciated.
Sorry to ask such a dumb question to those who are going to troll.
Search XDA for s5 debloat or similar, it will give you a list of what can be removed, and I think there are some debloat tools as well.

Hey,
Like the title states, I know that I want to root my Note 4 (SM-N910G), I know that I want to do it to get rid of the crap that comes pre-installed. I also know I want to try and improve the battery life that has been decimated by updating to 5.0.1 and I also know I want access to app ops (this I want almost above all else).
What I want to know is, would I be better off searching for guides and such on loading custom roms? Or just rooting and staying with Lollipop?

hi,
i basically have same attitude as you. Rooting and enjoying Lollipop. Anyway, i rooted my N910F snap a few hours after i got it way back in October 2014 and have not looked back. I prefer to have control over my devices.... be it a pc /laptop or phone ! I am on lollipop and enjoying it. My device is "tuned"
good(according to me.. apart from one or 2 small "bugs"..eg. recent button lag etc) Battery usage is very good, very smooth overall etc. I have counted my " rooted apps " that have permission to run and its about 20 apps n all !
So overall my life, with devices is made much easier, with rooting and using apps like direct Data Toggle or Toggle Network apps (switching between LTE only or LTE /3G or 3G only)
So i would say for me rooting and enjoy Lollipop..!
good luck

I ended up rooting easily enough, enjoyed all the freedom that rooting provides. I ended up installing something I think (after I installed it) was a bit suspicious so now I have installed TWRP and will completely wipe it, install the stock firmware and root all over again.
