[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] systwk:
Early on in the life of the small, fast and tough Galazy i547, there seems to be little interest other than the efforts of kemonine96, and the few others thanked and mentioned in his SuperThread, and a huge thanks for that work so far.

In meanwhile I've found very few listings of specific’s on the Rugby Pro other than that in kemonine96's SuperThread, so I thought I would post a list of De-Bloat worthy apk's. I am no cook, this is a stopgap measure until the more capable create a better ROM. (Likely kemonine96 is nearly perfected with CM 10.1). So far I have found no dependencies that cause problems, but one that may be related. Slow loading of a few widgets on boot. Much of the list is the same as the Galaxy S3. As normal cautious practice, do a nandroid backup first, Root is of course required as is Root Explorer, ES File Explorer or whatever your choice. Recovery and root details and the real work can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2006388

Thanks go to the many posts from many threads on useless loaded apps, I am by no means the originator of these.

Just an assembler of info for the i547.

Personally, I make a folder on the internal SD, /AppBak and move the apk's when I debloat from system/app, for instance, Eventually I found I was unable to redo the lockscreen wallpaper, turned out the system needs the Gallery App. Other viewers didn't let me change screens. So it's an easy to re-do. There is more to go, I hope this generates some input for more tweaks and tips. In the past I have been used to Moto's so without the dreaded MotoBlur, at least this is a bit more simplified.

Input from anyone who is aware of a dependency issue from the above that haven't bit me yet, or can expand the list is appreciated. This is a great little Galaxy, built for those who bang stuff around and get dirty when working on stuff, lets hot rod it.

Edit:

in continued searching for possible dependencies in the i547 bloat and also verification of total removal of Kies I ran across a post I had missed in Kemonines96's Super Thread by zach.xtr post#143 back in February, Covering most of the above listed files with more detailed info.

The work by zach.xtr indicates the i547 functions without ANY Kies files as will the S3, and that would include removal of the Kies folder in system/etc. Well worth the read, a number of apps I missed. ( and maybe some I should have left. )
