Does anyone have a custom rom for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 (Model: SPH-L720) stock 4.2.2, that completely and safely removes all bloatware except stock tools such as video, s memo, clock, stock browser, calender, YouTube, calculator, Gmail, etc. using Odin to flash it? I am currently unrooted and can root my phone with CF root on Odin when I get home if needed. Hoping someone kind could share a link to get this rom and how to install it?

Root your phone and use titanium backup to delete all the bloatware you want
Edit,, just make a back up before you start deleting all kinds of stuff unless you don't mind having to Odin back to stock

I wouod but I don't trust myself with removing apps as I have tried twice before and failed twice before. Even found a guide on what to delete but they show the file rype names, not the app names.
Heres one you may like if you like the stock touch wiz feel.

Im new to roms and flashing but i just flashed this one last night and love it . Its Stock based touch wiz with a Blue theme and a lot of good tweaking mods. Just make a back up incase something goes wrong!
Are you already rooted?
Do you have custom recovery?
What carrier do you have?
Go on youtube and type in Negalite rom S4. A video with high on android will pop up... watch all of his videos theres a lot of good info in them.

Or, just root the phone, easy to do. I'd also recommend that you put on custom recovery to be safe, as it can get you out of all sorts of trouble rather than having Samsung's lame recovery.
Once you've done that, install titanium backup from the store. Freeze any and all applications you want. Download your preferred applications and you are done.
Sure, you can go the extra step of putting on a third party ROM, but for most people, that's overkill.
Once you have root, a custom recovery and Titanium Backup installed, you might want to do three things:
1. Do a ROM backup from the recovery, after it's saved move to your PC. Keep it there for safekeeping.
2. Set up a backup schedule in Titanium Backup. Back up applications and data to an SD card
3. Install Xposed Framework, and then pick a good multi-porpose module like Wanam, and you can highly customize your phone without putting on a third party ROM.
All of these three things are available and easy to find in XDA. They make your experience more powerful, customizable and safer.
Thx !

Just an fyi, it actually has the stock browser included called Internet. They just changed the home page to their own, you can change it back to whatever you like.

I dont believe it was included on the S5. I was more or less replaced with one handed mode (which can be activated in the settings) and several other actions.
I have a Verizon Note 3 running 4.4.2 and I'm trying to root with Kingo. I get through the process up until it checks my root status. It gets past that to 'Downloading requesite dependency files' and it instantly fails and just says Not Support. Any help?
I thought towel root was the only root method working for 4.4.2. Maybe that is why you are having issues

Thank you so much. I was able to root my phone. Lastly, one thing I've always wanted was to remove the Touchwiz and get stock Android. I am currently on 4.4.2 on my Note 3. How do I go about getting a clean version of either 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 Android? Thanks again

I'm new to the community. I don't exactly know what that is but if it is how you get Google Play Edition firmwares on your phone, than yes.
easier to do this :

you want a stock firmware file?
here you go ! http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29319
you will have to register for firmwares,,,
unfortunately, touchwiz is the stock app for verizon stock roms... the new launchers for the S5 work on the note.. check that link in the other post
i think what you may be looking for with a rooted note 3 is a deodexed rom.. you can delete system files easily... just use "titanium Backup" its in this rom for the 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 and its easy to do if you follow this method here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627
or use clockwork mods equivalent, "trebuchet"
check files , and heres CM link : https://www.clockworkmod.com/

Sorry but I have no clue what you or any one in that thread is talking about. I just want to turn my Note 3 into a Google Play Edition

You can't do that. We have a locked bootloader that restricts you to touchwiz roms running on the stock kernel.

Oh well. Anything else I can do on my rooted phone other than titanium backup and adblocker?
you can safestrap and install custom roms - they just have to be touchwiz-based.

in the pic here, all that gobbledeegook speek where your normal "?about phone" should be , tells you this is a vzw note 3, Nc4 stock rooted, ported to T-Mobile Lte , "G" edition (S5 ported) on non-user-ship (non-stock) kernel.
or basically,
using a verizon note 3 as a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S5, with all of its features, save the one~~ it's not waterproof. , which of course , is in that thread i linked
so there's a;lot you can do with your phone, as it may seem too complicated now, you may want to stick to simpler mods that you can download from google play store, like a different boot animation, meaning to say that instead of the huge red logo you see when you initially turn on yo0ur phone, you can change it to supermario running accross the screen, or that green matrix i/o screen. they may have added more by now, its up to you if that is something you may ne interested int there, or at least its a place to start.as you can see, perhaps a more correct assumption would be to say you cant run touchwiz and another launcher, say Google NOW...... at the same time.
Well, this was originally longer but the forum decided to post limit me because I am new. If you want a Google type experience, you might want to try the Google Experience Launcher (can be side loaded, but won't install from play store). I use this with Xgels and am very happy with the results.
So my gf recently got a iphone and I can not see emojis that she sends me. I've searched for solution such as changing fonts and setting permissions, but this doesnt work. Ive tried different keyboards, and input methods. Im on Cyanogenmod 11 and im going to try it on OCTos. If any one has any ideas please let me know.
Tell her not to.send you emojis haha jk. Have you tried flashing a NAE based ROM? TW introduced emojis with 4.3 or 4.4

Do you use the Sprint Google Voice service (not just the app, but the service where your Sprint phone number is linked to GV)? If so, that causes problems with the emojis for some reason. When I removed GV from my wife's Sprint service, the emojis worked again. I still use GV with my number and some emojis don't work.
Hello,
I was pereviously using the UI 2.1 version which had no issues with the gallery stock app and the editing features it comes with. But after the new update UI 2.5, I am unable to use the editing features from the gallery app. This made me have to resort to using a 3rd party app to replace the gallery stock app. Does anyone know what services may I need to enable for the gallery stock app editor to work properly again? The app just closes itself when I try to do anything like resize or crop the screenshot. Better yet, if its possible to downgrade back to 2.1 UI if on a non-rooted device since I think the other issue is the internet connectivity after updating to 2.5. But it fixed when restarted.
Did you update the gallery? There's a new version out. You can use Odin the flash previous firmwares as long as it's the same bootloader you're currently on.
