Hi!
Is there a debloated Touchwiz available on Note 3?
I really don't want all that Samsung bloatware and the Google package should be also small.
Which TW-based ROM should I use for my needs? Can you help me?
Yesterday i tried Audax L. After the setup process i had to freeze 80 apps!! And there were still many candidates for freezing. I went back to my good old temasek.

I dont think there will be any TW ROM that comes without Bloat.
AryaMod gives option to select which samsung apps you want to install.
But still you have to manually debloat it as there are many more system services which are of no use.

Hi all...sorry if this is very noob but hope someone can help me out...
i got my galaxy s4 for att and its been great so far...i did root it and got rid of all the junk stuff on the phone which was nice to do... but a little issue now..there is an OTA update and its trying to apply it by rebooting but it goes to my console screen i guess and i know even if it applies it it would get rid of root.... is there a way to apply this without having to reinstall all my emails (5 emails) and my apps and keep the root ability on it? I would love to get the feature to send apps to my SD thats the only reason i really want it.
again im sorry if this is very noobish to some of u but would like a nice guide if possible how to do it.
Thanks in advance
What device? Thats important, and DO NOT let it do the update. if you are rooted, you could freeze the samsung updater.
I would get off stock and flash a custom rom.

hehe I know you stated galaxy s4, but I needed to make sure, US version right?
Use my rom, mine is totally stock, with a few modifications, and FAST!
or you can go any TW rom.
here is mine..
[ROM] ViSiON-X v1.0|AROMA|4.2.2|MGA|TW|[08-03]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391142
then you will not have to worry about an update, until someone finds a patch for the update...

I use Infamous S4 as well, I love it. It's pretty stock feeling.
When it comes to the backing up part, I suggest Titanium Backup. Get the pro version and you can batch install all of your apps from a backup, otherwise you have to do it one by one. It also saves all app data and system data and accounts, so you can do a full wipe when installing an update or a new ROM (always a good idea,) then just let it completely restore the phone from a backup. You can use it to back-up everything, except for the home-screen layout (android limitation apparently.) Plus you can backup right to the phone if you have space so you don't have to wory about using the computer. I recomment getting a microSD card for 10 bucks at Staples and backing up to that. When you're restoring, make sure that you check what you're restoring. Most of the stuff in red are system apps that don't need to be restored (as newer or the same versions may already be installed from the update.)
For restoring root priviledges, CWM and TWRP custom rrecoveries have a tool for this.
Ok I have the Note 2 GT-N7100 on O2 UK.
I previously had the S2 and rooted the phone fine.
I have never installed a custom rom on any phones before.
What I need is advice on what I need to do for me to get rid of bloat ware, free up loads of space and customize my phone with a different look.
I'm aware a custom rom is personal preference but I just need anyone to guide me or give me advice on what needs to be done to get my phone working faster and better with more space.
Thanks,
Aaron.
If your happy with your rom you could just use titanium back up to uninstall any unwanted bloatware. For customisation there are lots of xposed mods that can really customise your phone

You don't have to do anything, really. Just always do a full wipe that's all.
To get rid of bloatware, I suggest ROM Cleaner head over to the Original Android Development section.

Well of course you need to root. If you need any help with that you could hit that root info tab on the note 2 main forum page. Also, if you are considering on flashing a ROM, I highly recommend Hawkish extreme ROM mainly due to the great battery life it gives and in your case, you can get rid of all the bloatware through the AROMA installer. But you could always get rid of bloat without flashing any ROMs by using those apps 'sawdoctor' & 'Simone' suggested.
Hawkish: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983626
I'd suggest to root it and then use Titanium, not to REMOVE the apps you don't need but to FREEZE them. Then use the phone for a couple of days and if you don't experience any problems, you can remove the frozen apps. Much safer that way.
Thank you for the suggestions and advice.
If u like the stock rom, then go for AliianceRom. Its similar to the stock Samsung ROM with some extra features
Or else there are many other custom ROMs if u wanna try new stuffs and experiment.

I second this opinion. :good:
Go for omega rom it's good

Please please please, once rooted, before flashing anything, backup the EFS.
Then as stated, use titanium to freeze apps before deleting them just in case.

I recommend Wanamlite.
I recommend rooted stock. More reliable than any custom rom or kernel.

Hi there,
I really like the hardware and battery life on the Note 3 but I hate the Samsung apps, and really miss the clean android OS with the Nexus 5.
Can someone help direct me or answer my question - is it possible to flash a nexus 5 kitkat ROM onto a Note 3? If so, will the S PEN still work and what rom do I use to do this?
I tried looking through the roms in the developer page but have absolutely no clue what any of them are.

NO

I don't think you can use Nexus 5 Rom on this phone, but if you'd like a clean ROM like that one, you can flash CM11 for your phone. To enable S-pen, you'll then need to install CM S Pen Add-on(ROOT).
If all you hate are the Samsung apps, you can flash Omega Rom, it has an option to remove all the bloatware that comes with the Rom. I'm using it atm, and it runs great on my phone (N9005)

I'm not really sure. If your phone is not the international variant, there might be some issues if you try flashing a rom not meant for it.
If you want to install Omega rom, go to the following thread and post your phone specs, people might be able to give you the answer.

For CM11, you'd go to this one.

To simply remove any apps you don't like, you can install Titanium Backup, but you have to root your phone first, be aware that you'll lose your warranty.
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
Cheers.
So I just bought an used one from craigslist and even tho I formatted it, I feel like its a little slow and laggy. What can I do to '' boost '' it ?
Is it a good idea to root it and install a custom rom ?
First, try to remove or at least disable all unnecessary apps and bloatware.
Custom ROM? Depends... I tried all kind of custom ROMs with my Note 3 and mostly I was unsatisfied. If battery life was good, then something else wasn't how I like it and vice versa. With Note 4 I didn't try to install any custom ROM and I'm pretty satisfied with unrooted stock ROM (Android 6.0.1), with bloatware removed, all other programs that I don't need and use uninstalled or disabled (if uninstall wasn't possible). So, first you could try that option.
