Hey Guys i m looking for a Rom for my Note 4 910F where i can decide which bloatware to keep and which not -- i have tryed a few roms but the problem is they got ripped of the "VR Setup" file that i totally need to run my vr headset.
So i hope you got a Rom recommandation for me.
Thank you
Stock rom, root then freeze or uninstall all apps you don't use
Thanks Men this would be my last recource - i thought there might be a rom that gives me some extra features and still has some of the bloatware...

Hi,
So I just successfully installed JP9 firmware and I have Froyo running perfectly on my Galaxy 3, but there are several Orange apps pre-installed which I want to get rid of + the ugly TouchWiz UI.
So first I'd like to know how to root G3 and then get rid of these two things.
Many thanks for your help.
try titanium backup... it can remove any system file..
Absolute system root is what I used for the exact same thing. To bad you'll have to "pay" for it.
You could also try doing it via adb but for some reason that rom didn't have read\write capability.
Oh and whatever software you use, don't delete oranges home screen selector. For some reason the rom wouldn't launch for me after that.
Oh2 and be sure to have alternative launcher installed before removing any launchers..

Orange ROM is restricted to the user and applications. My suggestion is to upgrade to a much faster ROM of Froyo, that is precooked. This will remove your Orange branding on the phone (i.e. debrand it) and will mean you can remove any unnecessary applications still on the phne). In it's current state, because it's Orange's Firmware, there's not a lot you can do to it.
I'm Orange branded, used z4root, and Super Manager to remove the Orange crap all apart from homescreen selector. I removed Layar and Thinkfree Office too as never used. Left TW on just in case want in the future so don't know if that would break it but the rest is now gone for good and I have 20mb more phone storage
id suggest keeping touchwiz as a backup launcher expecially if you are using a third party launcher
you can get rid of touchwiz by installing launchers like laucher,adw,golauncher etc .
or use this awesome theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149113
..
When i got my phone i immediately installed Kyrillos 5.7 so I have no idea how TouchWiz works. Is it that much worse than other launchers that everyone wants it gone?

I've been banging my head for last day or so trying to deodex ROM with either oneclick: http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?113-Re-Odexing-script which errors out saying "we have no root access" but i think its more than that (the app is really old and not sure how well it works anyways), this trusted method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600805 after pulling each file successfully errors red on every single app when i start deodexing This kitchen that rom cookers use: https://github.com/dsixda/Android-Kitchen i think requires linux partition, and i dont even want to cook roms at this point.
All in all, all im trying to do is change priority of TW launcher to number 1 to maximize smoothness (curious thou if anyone tried it on US Galaxy S3) but after going through so much just to get there, i might as well just ask: Can anyone just deodex this rom: http://d-h.st/tTY
I dont want to install Custom Firmware because of samsung things they get rid of
bump, anyone?
Im looking for it 2. I just want stock deodexed rom till that imei crap gets fixed
Hey there!
i own Note 3 n9005 MJ7 rooted ,stock rom, with TWRP Recovery and my Jellybean 4.3.
i have highly customized my phone to the point its perfect for me, from the apps i need to its design.
my question is, there are some apps id like to buy install like UPSM, and i cant because it wont run on JB.
should i upgrade to LP? will it do something to my apps and designs? my data? my root??
waiting forward for your reply! thanks!!
My advice is stay with what you have. I "upgraded" to the Polish stock rooted Lollipop a couple of weeks ago and have had not end of grief with buggy apps (Titanium Backup & Dropbox) and battery drain. I will probably go back to Kitkat because the SD card permissions policy with Lollipop is making my phone almost unusable. Kitkat 4.4.2 is very good, especially with Xposed.
Get a custom rom
I just ditched the Polish ROM I mentioned above & have flashed Alexandr's Devbase ROM and all the problems I was having with the Polish ROM have melted away. No more annoying SD Card permissions nonsense!
thanks for replying... how would a custom rom help me with my issues?
any other more relevant suggestions maybe?

There's not a major issue with keeping your set up as you like it. LP and/or AOSP/CM ROM's can all be set up how you want, usually quite easily. Even with a clean flash it takes maybe an hour to do.
Not sure what the above issue with TiBu was - works fine for me but I have stopped Restoring Apps DATA and only restore the apps.
Before I change ROMs I make sure...
- full Nandroid of current system is done
- New ROM and SuperSU are on my extSDCard
- TiBu is up to date with backups to extSDCard
- Titanium app is backed up to a zip file on the extSDCard
- Contacts are exported to extSDCard
- Call Logs Backup and Restore is done to extSDCard
- SMS Backup & Restore is done to extSDCard
- Settings are backed up using ROM Settings Backup to extSDCard
- I have copies of my various folders needed over on extSDCard. examples are SPenCommand, Notifications, Ringtones, AutomateIt and Viper4Android
Then I can do whatever I like and Restore things easily to exactly how I like them
As I said, takes about an hour from full wipe (except MicroSD obviously ) to new setup.
I'd wait for 5.1.x... but Lollipop is ok. I just don't think in terms of battery life and smoothness as good as KK yet. 5.1x should improve things.
Custom roms are fine - but many think their custom rom is the best and works great --- yet when you try them, you find bugs. So just be aware that nothing is really flawless - it just depends what you're willing to live with. Be sure to read about each rom and any issues before flashing (and follow instructions carefully).
I will follow Bendigo but adding.
My 2 cents..
Upgrade your mobile to every available option after JB.. taste it..
There is always a way to revert back if you are not happy..
Try/test things, if you came till here to make a new topic
Hello guys! fist thing, I searched for the answer on other threads but can't find what I'm looking for. Basically I'm a newbie in this sort of things, I rooted my Note 3 yesterday and now I seek for a good rom for my phone. I felt the urge to do so because I wanted to get rid of the stock apps (like chaton, s health and so on. I tried to uninstall them with system app remover but they keep coming back as soon as I turn on the Wifi) and to have more control of my device, but since there're so many roms I got a bit confused, especially when it comes to kernel stuff etc.
I want a stable rom (with a normal battery drain) which gives me the possibility to use the S-Pen (I use the stylus often for taking fast note and stuff) and NFC.
I really liked the DarkWolf rom which basically convert a note 3 into an S7, battery life is good, S pen works fine BUT seems like it comes with samsung bloatwares and NFC doesn't work.
So, is there a rom that respect my needs?? what about the kernel? which one should I use??
thanks in advance
PS. My note 3 is the N9005 model,rooted, running official Samsung android 5.0
Go for AryaMod - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920
If you by any chance don't mind about NFC then I'd go for Phronesis - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...om-phronesis-rom-v1-0-stable-feature-t3241910
Both have solid battery life without the need of tweaking the kernel. The kernel is good out of the box.
About your problem of apps installing back then why don't just disable them from Settings- Application Manager or disable auto download updates from play store. Since your are rooted you can use a root explorer and go to /system/apps and /system/priv-app to delete them completely.
Remove bloatware via Titanium Backup Pro .
Dont confuse yourself with kernels use the one that comes with the rom .

First thanks for the reply I can overlook NFC if Phronesis is better or has additional features than Aryamod however is there something good based on marshmallow?

Marshmallow ports has lots of bugs and battery drains a bit faster than LP though not that much. I'm currently on Darklord S7 Edge Beta2 port. Though all basic things are working like Wifi, BT and Data so I can do stuff with an internet. Camera has bugs like modes are not working only the stock capture and recording.
Some bugs for marshmallow based on darklord's rom, some are already fixed in bete 2;
- Always on not working
- Sound alive not working
- Sview not working
- Some camera mode not working (hardware limited)
- Hotspot not working
- Do not disturb time setting FC
- Handwriting not working
- Direct input cant change language
I think Phronesis rom has more features since its a Note5 port with a little touch of edge feature. I'm quite happy with it overall. It's the rom I'm using when going out of town or out of the country. The thread also has a Q&A section so you can find things faster when you encounter a problem. It also has some alternatives for NFC in q&a.
Ah totally forgot about Titanium Backup. As @JJEgan said you can remove bloatware from it as well instead of manually deleting them using a root explorer.
EDIT:
Phronesis rom comes with a kernel so you don't have to worry about them. It is good out of the box without tweaking it. For Arya I forgot already, maybe it is using the stock kernel and that is the reason why you have to flash official rom first before flashing it.
Thank you bratboo and JJEgan for the help. I think I'll give a shot to Phronesis waiting for a more stable marshmallow based rom

In my experience, it's often more stable to root the stock firmware and then remove the bloatware (using Titanium Backup or Link2SD). That way you have a rom that's tailored for the device and you don't have issues like the camera not working on custom roms, certain video codecs that aren't supported, ...
Unless there's an official CyanogenMod or LineageOS for the device.

That is what I want, but can't seem to get it done. The newest Magisk is not working. Older versions aren't. Anyone got it done? Just need root to get storage rights for external SD for Syncthing..
ok, got root working now. used the "old" way, supersu, for an old ROM..
