So I have a new sm-t280. have it rooted. looking to debloat it. i see there's a single rom available but i think i'd rather just stay with the stock rom and debloat it instead.
Is there a list anywhere of all the apps that are safe to remove?
Thanks!

I bought my S4 in Korea. It is a SHV 300S LTE device. Octa core sold through SKT.
I would like to remove all the bloatware, maximize battery life, and use nova launcher with the click UI icons.
Should I root my device? If so why? What are the top 5 ROMs?
Also what is the best / easiest method for backing up my device? (apps, info, ect)
Also, is there an app or software to which I manage my music preferably similar to itunes and iphone? Would like for the phone to be able to automatically add new music to my device and keep it up to date.
Sorry for all the questions. Any and all advice will be much appreciated. Thanks
Idk if your variant has any roms but the best roms on i9500 are Omega, Wanam and Crash ROMs. Theres Cyanogenmod too but thats in alpha I think.
You can remove bloatware with Titanium Backup after root and you can backupw ith it too. And CWM backups are good too.

How can I find out my variant? All I am seeing is SHV-300S.
Also I have not updated to 4.3. Should I do that first or after a root?

Removing bloatware is possible only after rooting your phone.
If you want to backup your device after rooting, you can do it if you will flash custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
For backup without the root you can try Helium app from PlayStore.
I don't know if there is any custom ROM for your variant of S4, i'm sure if there is, you will find it here on xda.
I also don't know any app to sync music automaticly, simply i never needed one.
Hope that helps a little bit.

What rooting method / tutorial would you recommend?
Maybe I am better off just freezing apps?
try cf-root
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'm one of the poor saps that has a locked 9.30.1 phone. I'd like to run KitKat, but need root. I can install SafeStrap find on this, and waste a ton of space to run a second ROM - but it is unclear what roms are available for safestrap installation. I don't need anything fancy, just an AOSP rooted kitkat running from safestrap - if that's even possible/available.
Any pointers?
You can only use ROMs that work with the stock kernel that your system ROM is running. KitKat's would be a different version, so that rules it out.
Unfortunately, your options are pretty limited. Try Nexesque if you want something stable with all the bloat removed.

Not really all that critical then. Not a ton of KitKat features I really need, the better memory management would be nice, but not that necessary. I'll be fine hanging out on rooted 9.30.1 for now.
Hey note 3 forum
i just rooted my wifes note 3 (n9005) and was searching for a debloat script that i could run to remove all that samsung bloatware.
unfortunately i wasnt able to find a up to date script for lollipop
the best i could find was that list of apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470862
i wanted to avoid intalling a new rom or going through titanium backup to freeze apps one by one
so is there anything i havent found?
thanks in advance!
You'd be better off using Titanium to manually remove anything you don't want. One person's bloat is another person's essential app. Besides, it only takes a few minutes.
Wise words. However, is there a safe list of apps we can freeze/uninstall with TB?
Hey all.
So I'm a fan of THIS ROM package, being the US996 NotSoStock. It's debloated and works great. Unfortunately this hasn't been updated in quite some time, and is difficult for me to flash now for whatever reason (backwards).
I use the latest version of TWRP for flashing updates and root privileges, and have purchased Titanium Backup from the Play Store because that's what they say works best for debloating. But MAN, do I SUCK at doing it. No idea what the f**k I'm doing.
Are there any other tools I can use to clean up stock images?
Thanks in advance!

There are lists out there of things you can disable. You would just have to look for one..
If you are going to debloat using Titanium I would suggest freezing and testing before actually deleting.. You will want to make a complete backup before doing anything.
Freeze an apk test and continue.. Freezing is nice because it disables the apk without deleting.. Freeze a bunch of things they will be saved in a list of frozen items.. Test thoroughly and delete frozen items as your leisure..
Things will get broken example dependencies of certain LG apks that are tied to theming ..
