I've found this to be a great help with cutting away the bloatware:

Do not delete anything that you actually use (Google Calendar/Contact Sync). Cross check the applications to see the functions of each with:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AmzC8GFarItSdGpOZzBfWlR4MC03aDMyZ1BDUFNqU0E&usp=sharing

You can remove anything with Knox in the name after rooting. As always, if using Titanium Backup, backup the app before deleting or freeze it. I don't see anything wrong with renaming the bloatware (apk & odex files).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] newshook:
Somewhere I learned that the vmmhux.apk is Backup Assistant Plus. I rename it with bak suffix, well, the Backup Assistant is still shown under Account. What do we know about this vmmhux.apk?

Also, which app is for Verizon Mobile Security?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EnUfor:
You might be better off using Titanium Backup for finding which APK belong to which process. Backup Assistant is baked into the system. Even after uninstalling all of Verizon's applications, Backup Assistant will still exist in the settings (opening a menu results in Settings crashing). I won't be able to help you with vmmhux.apk.

According to Titanium, Verizon Mobile Security is /system/app/VMS.APK

2. Root it.

3. Change the customization version in the build.prop to 1276-7243 (Vodafone Romania).

Hi noob here. whats the difference of the customization number from SI number? Coz I was wondering since my Z1 is carrier branded from Smart here in the Philippines, 1277-9538 is the cust number while in the box of the phone the SI number is 1277-9021. Is that perfectly normal or should they be the same? clarification would be greatly appreciated. :) thank you
[Xperia Z1 General] f3nix82:
Hi,

yes. It's perfectly normal.

Sales item number should be different from customization number.

For example. Purple or white version (from the same provider) will have the same customization number but different sales item number.

Looking further on people already updated, the change is on Customization Version from 1276-7099_RC4 to 1276-7099_RC5.

Which one do I need?

Hi,

I have got a Z1 with CM12.1 installed and now I did like to go back to the stock ROM. My device is a apparently Nordic one (1276-2949)(unlock phone : no SIM lock), but I have no clue on which ROM I need to install in Flashtool..

Difference between some regions

So, Im in Hungary. My phone is an unlocked(i mean, unbranded) one. So im not gonna go into details bcoz that would be a waste of time but i gotta flash my stock (and i mean, regionally stock as well) rom. It would obivously be central europe. thats fine. but there are more than 1 central europes in this list so i got a bit confused about whats the diff. (they all have the same languages , so its not an option). I did check with Xperifirm that they have a difference in build unmbers too. By taht i mean they are all 14.6.a.1.236 but they have a letter-number mixed ending . For example : CE1 has the number of 14.6.a.1.236 R4D whereas central europe has 14.6.a.1.236 R2D. and im just kinda curious about whats going on there. and if you may be able to answer that, which one should i be flashing for a hungarian phone (this is just my perfectionist myself, where i want my phone to be clearly original ^^ )

sorry for the silly qustion ^^ hope u can gimme some answer

thanks in advance
[Xperia Z1 General] f3nix82:
Hi,

the simplest way to go back to the stock firmware with a customization that was originally installed on your phone is as follows:

1. Open the SIM cover and remove the SIM tray. There should be a SI number written on it: XXXX-XXXX

2. Open Flashtool

3. Go to "Devices->Check Updates"

4. In "Device Selector" double click "C69XX".

5. In C6903 or C6902 tab find the cutomization you need (i.e. for C6903 and CE1 that would be 1276-4318).

6. Right click on the right customization and select "Check release".

7. The line should now have an updated version column.

8. Right click again and select "Download".

The next step is to flash it as usual with downloaded firmware.

HTH.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirHoover2010:
Hey guys, I kind of doubt it but some of you may remember me as I released a tool for the Razr HD back it was new. I was an Atrix HD user. I have gone through several phones since then and I am really sick of locked bootloaders. So I bought the Maxx HD and I am getting rid of my S4. So I am assuming the phones battery is probably pretty bad. The guy has had the phone since it was released so I am kind of doubting that the battery is what it once was. My question for everyone is, has anyone replaced this battery? How much did it cost if you did? Or does anyone have a recommendation of a place that can replace the battery?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
i would look up the battery on ebay for cost/purchase and find a video on youtube on how to do it, if you are so inclined.

i believe you can also send it away to moto and have them do it if you want.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirHoover2010:
Yea I priced it out. It would actually be cheaper to send it out to moto and have them do it. That said I talked to the swappa seller and he said that the battery is still good and lasts a full day no problems! IF it does become weak then I will send it to Moto.

Guys im sorry if this is an old question but i am wondering is there ANYONE who is even working on an Android/Alternate-OS for the Playbook.

there is a gingerbread Runtime built in - Could it be converted to run as the sole OS? Even Gingerbread would be a massive improvement to RIMS 'ABOMINATION' of an OS (Even if they had ported BB10 it would have been sow - such an inefficient OS thta requires 2gb of Ram? )

Hey there

A friend of mine has the following problem with his Note 3 (completely stock).

Since the latest 4.4.2 OTA update, sometimes suddenly the screen does not respond to touching it with your hand. It does react to the stylus.

Locking and unlocking the screen does the job, but only for a few minutes.

I wiped the phone via stock recovery, but the problem persists.

Anyone with the same problem, or maybe a clue?

Same problem here,I tried several 4.4.2 official and custom roms but not fixed and I tried these too:

I tried mega wipe and last rom in samfirmware!

I removed my external sd card

And I googled and found there are others with same problem so it shouldn't be hardware problem

p.s.When screen freezes just half of it works! And just doesn't work by fingers and it works by s_pen!

There no way to come back to 4.3 too :(

What should I do?

taking out external card

Having all other apps closed but Lecture Notes and Myscript calculator in multi window, this thing really dogs. Myscript seems to be OK when both windows are open, but writing in lecture notes is laggy as hell. Close the calculator and all is fine again in LN. The performance and lag is seen elsewhere too, but this is the worst. I swear, when I first booted and played with it, it seemed fine. Applied the update that was supposed to help with lag and it got worse. Jesus samsung. This is bad. If I weren't afraid of bricking this device because of lack of warranty, I'd root it and speed it up.
