u can use titanium backup to freeze or uninstall all the bloatware and use Wanam exposed to customize the way u want or install custom recovery and flash custom rom u want.

Hello, I am a new s4 owner. I just rooted my phone and got rid of bunch of bloatware.
However I want to try the MOST basic debloated TW ROM.
If someone can point me to the threads of such ROM i'd appreciate it.
Thank you.

thank you so much!
I am considering to root and flash custom rom, I am just thinking if I will lose some pre installed apps like Samsung's Action Memo and S Note. Those two apps are my favorite and I don't want to lose them.
What are other important things should I know before rooting or flashing custom roms. How about my files and datas saved in phone's memory?
Please help. I would really appreciate your response l. Thank you in advance. :thumbup:

Only time you will lose action memo and s memo is when you flash an AOSP rom or a debloated Touchwiz rom
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
So I can still have the Action Memo and S Note as long as I don't flash AOSP and the debloated TW rom?
So I am thinking to go with Cynogenmod. Would that work better?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
CM is AOSP, so it won't have any S Note or Action Memo stuffs. You will have to look for alternatives, but there are none which is as good as S Note or Action Memo.
And debloated TouchWiz means just some cut apps from stock ROM. Mainly those are apps which very few people use, like S Voice, Chat On, Trip Advisor and some Google apps like Books, Games etc., not Action Memo or S Note.
If you want to keep Action Memo or S Note then you will have to use TouchWiz based ROMs only, doesn't matter custom or stock.
I see. So I need to stick with TW to keep Action Memo and S Note, but I can still root my phone right? What I don't want to do is not to flash custom rom. Please confirm. TIA

Yes, of course! Rooting has literally nothing to do with those apps, go on, root.
Is there any alternative for Action Memo? Or any note taking apps for me to use my S pen?

You can root and you can install custom roms which are based in samsung stock rom, without losing action memo.
Really!? That is a good news! But I have no idea what samsung stock roms based is.
If you could give me a link of an article or tutorial I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot sir.

Stock ROM means the official ROM, like it came from Samsung. Custom ROMs are those that are modified, have different tweaks and so on, and they are generally not very stable (occasional bugs, lag etc). The more features they have, generally the more laggy they are.
If you want a fluid ROM try Alexander's, it's basically a rooted stock ROM with very few modifications and root access. You will have s note, action memo and everything else you need. You can find the thread on my signature.
Another good ROM I recently tried is audax, it's surprisingly smooth for a custom ROM and it has some interesting features.
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help. I am now excited to root and flash the roms you mentioned. I just still need to learn how to do the root process and flashing roms first. I think I can do my research for tutorials and instructions.

Rooting can't be more easy really.
All you need is Odin on your computer, don't know what's the latest version, search on Google, I use 3.09 and it works fine. Then you need to install a custom recovery, TWRP for example, which you will get from here, https://twrp.me/ Flash it via Odin, I am sure you know you need to put it under AP (PDA) section of Odin. Now you have custom recovery installed.
And then finally you need to download SuperSU zip from here, https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Have that zip package placed on your device, internal, external, doesn't matter, and boot into recovery mode (Vol Up+Power) and find that zip and flash it, done. You are rooted.
Thanks a lot for your help! Yup! I have successfully rooted my note 3.
Could you guys also help me how to install cwm recovery please? Does the file also depends on the model of the phone?

Good luck! I have a rooted sm-530az cricket phone but I can't find a custom recovery anywhere. Posted on here and android forms but no luck even asked people that they said they have the same phone with philz recovery installed. But no answers and no luck.. If you find anything please let me know. There are no Roms for our device yet but I need a recovery.

If your rooted simply freeze unused unwanted bloat apps. Idk if there is for that model nor if there's a Rom. Good luck to you though hope it works out [emoji106]
