remove bloatware?

hi?

just wanted to be able to remove the extra "unremovable" apps that samsung put on the phone that is useless. can someone recommend the best way to remove bloatware? (i have managed to root the device):confused::confused::confused:

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
You can use titanium backup pro and freeze those unwanted apps that you dont need. Or you may uninstall. Be careful on what you uninstall though! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] getlucky88:
thank you for this guide!!!

I managed to root my i9003. install su and have managed to removed some bloatware from it. But I was hoping I could get a better experience on it just like you guys. i was hoping to update to a 2.3.6 firmware and then if i am successful, maybe also figure out a way to put customer firmware like those bigshots ( :)) at the i9003 development forums.

im not sure what to do since i done have a cwm rom manager, because i rooted through the superoneclick method.

could you help point me to the right direction?

*** phone detail

it's pda is i9003dxkp9

phone: i9003 dxkp7

csc i9003OLBKP7

it is sold in the philippines (where i am from) not sure if this would affect anything

thanks a lot a gain.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Well, i suggest you update first to Gingerbread than you root it with CF-Root. But if you prefer to stay on Froyo, search & download ROM Manager by CWM on Google Play then start flashing.

P.S: If it didn't work, try update to Gingerbread DDLF2 then flash CF-Root, see the first post to update & root
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] getlucky88:
Thank you for the response, i did manage to root it already using superoneclick, it was running 2.3.5 already when i got it but wanted to upgrade it to 2.3.6.

thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Well yes, Galaxy SL comes with Froyo (not like Galaxy S which comes with Eclair) and it's upgrade-able to Gingerbread but not to ICS because the Development part of Samsung is lazy :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] getlucky88:
Is this still also useable for when the device is already rooted? as in the case of my phone:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Yes, it work even if you already root it. Just follow the guide carefully and you'll be in Gingerbread in no time.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jura-akm:
Hi to all! I have problem, I tried to root i9003 via Odin, I put the file on PDA, and I said that it's fail.. so I was still on download mode, then I turned off the phone, turned it on again, and now there is icon on screen - phone extension mark and computer.. is the phone bricked? What to do?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Uhh.... can you add pictures? And do you have the guide for the root?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jura-akm:
Looks something like this.. can't really see much, but you'll recognise it if you know it..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
I know that symbol, it's the black screen of DEATH!

Kidding :P, that's not hard or soft brick, I forgot what it's called but its fix-able.

1. Take out the battery and put it again

2. Push volume down + home button + power button. When the phone vibrating, release your hand from the volume and home button but keep holding the power button.

3. Now you will see download mode. Now, connect the USB cable to your computer, open Odin recommend version for SL, make sure you already have XXKPE.

4. OK, you made it to this part. Now because XXKPE flashing is very long , search at the Development Part for this part, search the stickies.

5. You made it this far :D, now you just need to flash DDLF2 and the CF-Root. After that part, you will be back at the hand of the custom ROMs, Enjoy!

Technically, this topic already exist. So yeah, your problem is not common but fix-able. If your phone didn't vibrate on 2nd step, that meant it's hard or soft brick.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jura-akm:
How do I know that I have or have not XXKPE? And if not, than what?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] getlucky88:
I think you can just do a quick *#1234#

to know your pda nad firmware. and update it using the methods in the OP. be careful though and follow the instructions they have to a T. I managed to soft brick my phone and nearly broke it, so im being extra careful and trying to learn more first before doing **** again, i managed to root it so im just messing arround with root access and not flashing customer roms yet (as much as i want to()

goo luck!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jura-akm:
Its all good now. Flashed xxkpq 2.3.6 gb via Odin, and its all hood now. Rooted it, and flashed CM10 alpha 4.. did clean install, but now I have other problem can't send SMS.. anybody had the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Wow, your aircraft is totally different from mine. I never got any problem on my phone (just wait until I got reckless), except for battery drain that is because of the ROM I use.

Try flash CM10 A4 Signal Fix kernel. I forgot what forum that thread staying :silly:

If that's not working, back to the base (again) Partner.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Temp0rall:
Good day to all.

My i9003 is on JellyBam now.

If I re-flash it to stock gingerbread can I use the apps+data titanium backup to reinstall my apps.

I created the backup on jellybam.

Also do I have to use odin everytime I flash to stock? Can I flash to stock using CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
If youre in JellyBam based on CM10 alpha 4 then yes you have to use ODIN. If its alpha 3 and below you can use your backup if you have. But if none, you should use odin. BTW the answer is yes you can use Titanium Backup to restore ur apps.

Which ROM to choos for 4.X

Hi,

here I am, a noob, and having no idea what to do next. I found a lot of stuff regarding custom ROMs for i9003. But which should I choose? I'm completely confused by the sheer number of different ROMs. Maybe I start off with what i need:

- 4.x+-Android

- GPS, WIFI, Cam, Audio working just like the standard ROM

- Which ROM has Swype? I really love it and don't want to miss it out on a updated device

As far as I understood, the CM8 (Android 4.0) is more stable than the CM10 version, right?

I have XXKPN running, but I'm i bit confused about my current Version: System info says firmware is 2.3.5 while kernel version is 2.6.35.7. What options do I have, how can I get started?

Cheers everybody!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Re: General Guide for i9003 Noobies

Welcome mate, yes there are many kind of ROMs for i9003. And you make a mistake, there are no CM8, its CM9 (4.0.4), and yes CM9 is more stable than CM10 (4.1.2).

If you want GPS, WiFi, Camera, Audio working, try CM9 (my phones GPS didn't work, on JellyBam V.4.0.0)

For Swype, I think you can download it from Play Store, almost all custom ROMs doesn't have swype.

Good Luck with your phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dnb.razz:
( GPS, WiFi, Camera, Audio working) all of those are working in cm10
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
CM 10 A3 or A4? If you pointed A4, the Bluetooth's work, but the GPS didn't work (On JellyBam).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sianghung:
im on JellyBam V4.0.0, everything is working fine.. just that gps doesn't fix as fast as before.. have you tried go to setting > location access > GPS source > Use Internal GPS(check) ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dnb.razz:
yes cm10 a4
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ctmstudios:
I'm currently using CM10 A4 (ROM JellyBam 4.1.0), and everything works (WiFi, BT, Camera, Audio, GPS), but WiFi frequently disconnects, and video recording is unusable.

Phone is OC, and working great on 1350MHz. Games are flying, and battery lasts ~12h with internet (wifi or 3g) constantly on (same as on default rom - if it's short, maby my battery is faulty).

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
You can flash it directly to CM 10 Alpha 4. But if yout want to go back to GB start fresh install..

What ROM did you flash before flashing the stock rom? Just start from the step 1. Flash Latona .pit.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
You need to flash xxkpe which has a pit file for creating partition. After flashing xxkpe then flash the latest gb stock rom.

Hi Guys,

It seems we don't have a ROM for CSC : I9003ODDKPI. Atleast I was not able to locate on this thread.

I want to upgrade to android 4.0 and later version which is stable and without bugs.

It had android 2.2 on it when I purchased it and then I upgraded that to 2.3 through kies.

But recently when I tried to upgrade again through Kies it found one IOS but the loading does not complete.....it stops at 99%.

Could you help me with this pls.

How do I get my contacts back from titanium backup? I even backed up the samsung SNS app. Even after full restore, I can't seem to get back the contacts. Am I missing anything?

Or if there is a way to get facebook and twitter contacts synced in custom rom, then I can try that too. Basically, as ever, only this sync issue is keeping me from switching to custom roms.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Re: General Guide for i9003 Noobies

Your contacts are already sync with Google. And what is this Samsung SNS app? You can backup SMS with SMS Backup and Restore. PS: Aslong you save the contacts on your Google Account.

You need to download Facebook & Twitter App first then you can sync two of them with your phone.

Sent from my Galaxy SL Powered by Battery
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jitendragarg:
Let me try to be clear, as I guess, we are talking about different things. See, in stock rom, you can go to contacts and add facebook and twitter account just like google account. In that case, all your facebook, twitter contacts (photos, birthdays, phone numbers etc) are synced and merged with google accounts. So, I can add you on facebook and google, and my phone can sync your phone number and birthday from facebook, your email id from google, and such. This is achieved by Samsung's Social Hub or SNS app. SNS app is displayed in titanium backup. There is no icon for it, but it is displayed in contacts tab itself.

In any custom rom, if you go to contacts, you can only add google account. So, if I sync my google account on custom rom, I get only those contacts which are in my gtalk list. I want the stock rom experience of syncing and merging all contacts from facebook/twitter/gtalk.

Also, I have noticed that there is an option saying "back up my phone using google" or something along the lines, when you add the google account. I have no idea how that works, but till now, I haven't got it working correctly. Can I get it to save all my contacts that are synced from elsewhere?

I will post a few screenshots later to help you understand it.

Re: General Guide for i9003 Noobies

First of all you have to root your Phone installing kernel CF root then you have cwm recovery. Having cwm recovery you are able to flash lots of roms. I recomend you read and understand the right procedure to flash each ROM. Good luck.

Edit:you can find all the information and files over threads in xda.

dear, i think in android 2.3.x facebook in auto sycnced. but most of the custon rom use 4.0.x/ 4.1.x where facebook is not auto synced with contacts. use haxsync.

Also, these i found on slimbean ROM,

On Alpha 3 and the other basic GB ICS

- KPE FULL (do not forget the PIT) with Odin 1.85 only !!! --- Not sure what this is

- LF2 (PDA only with Odin) -- Not sure about this as well.

- CF Root LF2 (PDA only with Odin) -- This is to Root phone and i understand this

- Wipe data factory reset

- CM10 A4 in recovery (remove battery after flach kerne if bootlop recovery) -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1868074 -- is this right?

- CM10 A4 in recovery -- Should i flash twice?

- Wipe data factory reset

- SlimBean A4

- Wip Cache and Dalvik Cache

Please help me, i have added comment for each steps which i dont understand, Waiting for your support.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
Yes after rooting you can now flash Jellybean Roms in CWM just do the wipe, what you saw there is the procedure on how to flash jellybean rom ALPHA 4. If this is your first time flashing then you can flash jellybean rom directly. I recommend alpha 3 first. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] axlslash_gnr:
So you mean, the below 2 steps, I need not do and can just root by using odin and selecting the tar file on pda and select flash?

- KPE FULL (do not forget the PIT) with Odin 1.85 only !!! --- Not sure what this is

- LF2 (PDA only with Odin) -- Not sure about this as well.

Also did u mean the below version?

No, after DDLF2, you must download the cfroot of ddlf2 and flash this in recovery mode not in odin. I havent tried jellybam im sorry, but i recommend slim bean alpha 3. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] axlslash_gnr:
What is DDLF2? i'm really confused. Do we have some simple instructions whr someone like me can understand. All here use short forms like i had mentioned above. Which do no make any sense to me. Sorry, hope i'm not asking much.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lonelyboy1609:
I tried for Uc kernel , I think it is only for XXKPQ(sorry if m wrong :) )

plz reply

n thnx alot fr ur helps

:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
Sorry if you dont clearly understood those instructions, to make it short, your baseband version is DDKP3 right? Download a DDKP3 Cf-root in development area OR amitbagaria cf root. When you happen to see DDKP3 cf root, flash it in CWM by going to recovery mode, when you use bagaria.tar flash it in ODIN in PDA. After that youre now rooted. Then download the JB rom flash it in CWM.
