[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wolf39us:
It's been a pretty long ass time since I've posted here! April '10 it appears with the Nexus One. I just could NOT get the feel for it... it was laggy, crashy and overall didn't "feel" as good as the iPhone of that time. I've been a pretty loyal iPhone user all the way from 3G!

On release, I've purchased the iPhone 5S 32gb and have been using it without problem. But I've come to a realization... how fricken boring iOS is. Seriously, it hasn't changed much at all since the original iPhone's release! I've been able to withstand the previous generation iPhones due to their available jailbreaks... but more and more time goes by and I realize that I NEED that customization back.

The jailbreak provided me with just enough ability to change some things about the iPhone that I wasn't too happy about and gave me some power. Now that it's not here, I can't stand it. Stock iOS with no way to change it... very saddening indeed. After coming to this conclusion, I started looking into what Android has to offer (after almost 4 years). All I have to say is WOW Android has come a long way!

I've researched the top competitors currently and have come to the conclusion that GN3 is my best selection as of yet. Beefier specs coupled with what looks to be an amazing camera has really won me over! I have not purchased the Note 3 yet as I am still making iPhone payments... Also, T-Mobile has my phone locked to the carrier :(. My next step will be to pay the phone off and unlock it OR attempt to sell it as is locked to T-Mobile.

Depending on the way things go, I may keep the iPhone for a little bit longer and hold out for the next release of the Note (or whatever other Android tops out the GN3).

This will be officially my 4th jump to Android! Hopefully there will be no turning back!

TLDR; Due to boredom, I am leaving Apple behind (despite my recent purchase of the 5S) and jumping to the GN3 or better!

I do use Titanium Backup. I was just wondering if there was a .zip that will get rid of them all at once or at least a list of the files it's alright to delete. With TB I only get rid of the files I know for sure won't cause any problems by their removal. Just looking for a more comprehensive list of apps that are not needed. I miss Calkulin's bloat remover.

Does removing bloatware actually free up any ram. As far as I understand the system still reserves 6gb for its own use so removing bloat at least in terms of ram does nothing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
From my understanding it does drop it as debloated custom Roms seem to use less ram when I ran then. Compared to stock ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jarcher12:
Agreed debloated roms probably do, but deleting apps from a stock Rom does not as it still reserves the same amount of ram regardless if the apps are there or not. As I understand the op was asking about debloating stock Rom

Mis-Guided

Removing Bloat removes applications from start-up ram, check for yourself. Your Stock ROM will run faster and smother. My RAM sits at 798 MB versus no Bloat removed with my applications added, it uses 1.6 GB and runs slow.

I removed it, because it didn't work properly:

A few people have asked me how to recover their GPE from a soft brick and going back to the stock software.

Easy answer would be you should have made a back up.

I do not have GPE to test this but you can try this method.

Maybe this works for you GPE users that need to restore. Please leave feedback if it does.

---------

I am going to post a modified OTA so it can be flashed in recovery and see if it cures the wifi woes.

I think the system dump I am working with is missing some files since wifi is even acting up on GPE devices and ported ROM has no wifi working.

Give me a few and I will have modified OTA uploaded and then edit this post with a link.

Edit...

Mod_GPE-422_OTA.zip is the modified OTA. Should install properly through recovery. Please give feedback if it does install and if any previous issues are cleared up.

Thanks!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] juliatan:
You can also temperary load and use TWRP in stead of flashing it permanently. That's how I root and still keep stock bootloader/recovery.

Just follow steps to install TWRP, but use command 'boot' and not 'flash' TWRP.

(' fastboot boot twrp.img' is than commando with the correct name of twrp.img).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] juliatan:
My personnal saved instructions for easier future (re-)rooting (after OTA's) using temperary loaded TWRP. Off course with help XDA-topics.

Temperary load and use TWRP (and in the proces keep stock bootloader/recovery):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Off course Nexus-bootloader must be unlocked already and correct hardware drivers installed on PC.

1. Copy the zipfile(s) you want to flash with TWRP to internal SD of Nexus. (For example latest SuperSU, download: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip)

2. On PC download and extract to folder latest Android SDK. Go to folder 'Platform' or 'Platform Tools'. (Folder including adb, fastboot, etc.). ( Android SDK download: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html )

3. Download and extract latest TWRP(.img) for Nexus 7 Flo and copy to folder Platform/Platform Tools (with adb, fastboot, etc. in it) You might want to give 'recovery-twrp.img' a shorter name. (TWRP download: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/flo )

4. In the folder with the platform tools while pressing <SHIFT> on keyboard click right mousebutton and click with left mousebutton on 'Open Command Window Here'.

5. On Nexus switch on 'USB Debugging' in System settings-> Developper options. Shut down Nexus.

6. Connect Nexus with Usb-cable to PC. Start the device untill Nexus 7 folder opens on PC.

7. In earlier started Command Window type 'adb devices'and push <ENTER> on keyboard. (If all is well you will now see that Nexus is connected in Command Window. (If says device offline that means missing/incorrect hardwaredrivers or USB-cable broken/not connected)

8. On the Nexus now appears the messagge 'Allow Usb Debugging'. Tap 'oké/yes' on Nexus.

9. In Command Window type 'adb reboot bootloader' and push <ENTER>

10. To load TWRP without flashing for temperary use now type in Command Window 'fastboot boot twrp.img' (with correct name for twrp.img) and push <ENTER>

Now TWRP loads and can be used without losing stock recovery

-------------

Flashing with TWRP:

1. The zip(s) you want to flash must be copied to internal SD in advance. (for instance latest SuperSu.zip)

2. In TWRP tap on 'install'

3. Browse to the zip you want to flash and select by tapping on it

4. Now 'Swipe to confirm flash'

5. After reboot

--------------------

Finally I want to mention I bought Pro version of SuperSu for the option 'OTA Survival Mode'. Worked great. After last 4.4->4.4.2 OTA I still had root and did not have to reflash latest SuperSu.

Also before applying new OTA first check SuperSu-topic if latest SuperSu is compatible so OTA will not fail. If incompatible follow instructions there. I thjink than you must remove/switch off SuperSu first within app itself. Or flash new SuperSu, flash OTA and flash SuperSu again in same flash-session I was told on a Xda-topic and aplied once succesfully.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
Just checked for updates as described in other threads and it found the latest 4.3 update. I have read both positive and negative responses to the update. Some found things they used in 4.1.2 that are being taken away. Some like the new features in 4.3. It will vary from person to person whether the ROM is better for them or not. Fact is, all devices (current and future) are moving forward.

Should I just install the update? Should I make a copy of my current setup with one of the recoveries, then odin back, and run triangle away?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
Strange. I went ahead and updated. Even after doing two complete resets, I still have SU app from 4.1.2. I guess it carried the program during the upgrade process?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] youStolemylaptop:
it basically dirty flashed the new update over your 4.1.2. I honestly didn't care much about the KNOX boot loader since my warranty is already over. but, I find not having to flash devil kernel so much easier w/ less lag.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
Hopefully someone will develop something that resets the KNOX counter. Triangle worked for 4.1.2, but does not work in 4.3 for me.

BTW, what 4.3 ROMs do you like, since we have the new bootloader? I just installed TWRP and trying to decide on a ROM.
