[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiTiB:
Looks good, except when I clicked on the TWRP link it didn't work for me, soooo just in case:

After you root you will have a Chinese language Super User app--it's just part of Kingroot. There is a tool available (can't remember the name) that will get rid of that and install Supersu...highly recommended.

Also, and this is just a matter of personal preference, you may want to look into different gapps packages. They have them with the absolute minimum (pico) all the way up to everything Google makes. I usually go with a minimal package (Play Store, Chrome, Gmail, and Google+)...but that's just me.

Also, and this just the way I do things (the right way), I delete all telephony apps because...well here's my manifesto on that: [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4]

<<<QUOTE>>>

[Q] Why are Telephony apps in custom ROMS?

Why do ROM devs include telephony apps in custom ROMS for non-telephony devices? Even Samsung, in their great wisdom, included all of the telephony apps on my Galaxy Tab S (SM-T700). This device is NOT capable of making phone calls, period! I've installed about 15 different ROMs on several different devices, including a Kindle Fire, and they all where chock-full of telephony apps.

I would think that if one is going to all the effort to create a "custom" ROM one would *customize* it to that device, and that would include gutting it of all unnecessary cruft, and crap. I know how to delete all that stuff and it's one of the first things I do after rooting. But why should I even need to do that?

=====FOLDERS/APPS I DELETE (not disable) and have ZERO problems, and increased RAM & CPU resources--who wouldn't want that?=====

Under /system/privapp/

CellBroadcastReciever/CellBroadcastReciever.apk

Telecom/Telecom.apk

TelephonyProvider/TelephonyProvider.apk

TeleService/TeleService.apk

Under /data/data/

com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver/several folders and files

com.android.phone/several folders and files

com.android.providers.telephony/several folders and files

com.android.server.telecom/several folders and files

com.android.smspush/several folders and files

com.android.stk/several folders and files

Under /system/app/

Stk/Stk.apk

WAPPushManager/WAPPushManager.apk

BTW: I also delete everything to do with live wallpaper, but that's a matter of taste, not performance, per se.

Am I missing something here?--possible. Am I just a dumbass?--again, possible. What I am NOT is a n00b...I've owned and modified and tweaked and broke and fixed numerous PCs since 1983. As well as several android devices over the last few years.

Just so you know, I have all the appreciation and respect in the world for the real experts who do the hard work and provide the fruits of their labor to all of us for free. All they ask is that we make the effort to find the info on xda [use the search function and your brain] and other places ourselves--of course there is nothing like a simple Thank You to show appreciation.

Thank You

One more thing (hopefully). You will see a scary device error message during the process. It happened to me twice and at least one other person that has our device.
