I'm returning to stock Lollipop ROM, since I can't use any custom ROM due to freeze issue. But I don't want the ROM full of bloatware, so, what I can remove to "purify" stock ROM?

Hi to everyone. I'm sorry, probably this question has been asked lots of times, but I'm not expert in flashing devices, roms, etc.
I've a Branded Galaxy Y which code is GT-S5369 (instead of 5360), and I would like to know: Are the firmwares in this forum compatible also with my phone? And do I have to do any specific procedure in order to install a Custom ROM, or does it work in the same way of non-branded ones? That's the ROM I want to install: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757125&page=264 .
Thank you :fingers-crossed:
you can only try it - unless someone has that device you probably wont get an answer
take note of your stock rom baseband in case you need to flash stock rom via odin
I had a look and your stock rom is probably S5369BULL1 or something like that - check about phone in phone settings
you can download that stock rom firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares but you will need to split it with the splitter tool to be able to flash it via odin
the link to the splitter tool is on dokys thread at the top of the dev section for odin firmwares

Thank you for the reply. My stock rom is the one you said, I've downloaded it from sammobile I've read in other websites that it is necessary to de-brand the phone installing the GT-S5360 stock rom XXKL3; is it actually the best way to do it? Sorry for the questions but I want to be sure of what I'm doing.

Debrand basically means to remove all bloat apps that providers bundle with the phone that are really of no use
I use xxlk3 as it's one of the latest UK firmware
Make sure you make a nandroid backup in cwm before you flash anything - you can then restore your phone back to it's previous state if necessary by restoring the backup in cwm

Well, as I understood, debrand is not an important thing for installing Custom ROMs.
Anyway, I succeeded to install the Evo-X 4.2.0 rom, just unlocking the root, putting the file into the SD and applying it via CWM. Nothing simpler than that. Thank you for the kindness, there was not any problem with it

Custom Roms should be pre-rooted no need to root again unless you have problems
Enjoy
I think they are compatible

I downloaded and installed the stock touchwiz ROM for my i9507 and it didn't come with the stock touchwiz messaging app. I tried to manually download it and install the .apk but it fails every time. I'm pretty sure it won't install because I'm not rooted anymore as the stock ROM must have unrooted my phone. Is there a way to get the messaging app on there without having to root it again?
Cheers

Not really. Why don't you want to root?

I have a rooted Verizon Galaxy S5 G900V on the OC4 MOAR rom. I need to unroot and flash back to stock. I have tried a few but don't want to keep toying around and mess something up. How do I simply (preferably with FlashRoot) unroot and go to stock?

I thought all you had to do was uninstall busybox, supersu, and anything else that installs into system (although installing a stock rom should wipe System, correct me if I'm wrong here), and then flash a stock rom. And noting that bootloaders OE1/OG5 cannot be downgraded, so it's advised you flash an older OD5 stock firmware or below.
This is a guide to go from LP to KK which basically involves just that, flashing. You most likely have to use ODIN for it.

I hear "rom" in stock rom and wonder if it's legitimately stock at that point. Don't I just need to flash the firmware? Wouldn't I do a parallel move to OC4? Where do I get a legitimate firmware for OC4?
The ultimate problem I'm trying to solve is that I'm rooted and need to send my phone in for an upgrade.

Rom is just a reference to the fact that its a firmware. Rom doesn't necessarily have to mean it's custom. Unless I'm misusing the word rom, although people generally don't misunderstand when they're told stock rom. If it's a custom, it would be specified, "rom based on stock (insert version) or usually, based on TouchWiz (insert fw ver).
Anyways here are some of the stock firmwares.

I accidentally deleted System after adding TWRP like an idiot... Anyone have the Stock ROM?
.... it is just the stock rom that I need, correct?
Alright well I got everything working with a custom ROM, but I really still need a stock rom because the second screen doesn't work on any stock roms.
Yeah if I knew how I would make one. Just a stock Verizon ROM with superuser added.
I think I have a system image but it will take forever to upload on my DSL...
I am looking for a TWRP flashable stock 10j rom, complete stock or close to that. Is there anything like that.
I don't care about modding much, just need a reliable rooted rom.
I tried a few different roms in the last few days, and all were having issues one way or another.
Stock rom is always is the most stable one.
I could use LGUP to go back to complete stock and then root again, just trying to save the trouble again.
I second this request. Having a hard time finding a ROM without something important broken.

Stock is definitely a solid choice in terms of stability. NotSoStock is close to stock but has kernel tweaks. Some of the others seem to have stock kernel but full of other audio/visual enhancements.
You could try the stock deodex debloated rom which is going to be as close to stock as you will get.

stock deodex debloated rom was never updated to 10j, that's the problem. It's still in 10d version.

thought it was at least 10i. Any chance you know if there is documentation around about the changes through these versions? I haven't yet checked for those changes and actually still searching for good rom myself. I'm not a fan of the ones that can't use second screen at all.

On all the stock roms you can use the second screen. OvrDrive, WETA, NotSoStock.... they are all good roms, just too much modification for my liking.
I would be happy if I could use a simple rooted stock rom with a custom kernel.
Has there been any change to this? I'm still looking for a stock TWRP flashable copy of 10j for the H918.
I made a twrp flashable stock 10j rom about a week ago. I did it for the same reasons you mentioned. It's not rooted, but I just flash magisk right after it. I'll try to upload it to mega tonight. It's not tested but it works fine for me.
