[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felosis:
I've got a couple questions on debloating a ROM if someone could help me please. I think my questions are pretty general for any Samsung ROM, but I've provided details of my setup below just in case. I've got the ROM debloated down to basically nothing except Play Store and Phone and everything works perfect except two things...

General Info:

- Verizon Galaxy Note 3 (Non Developer Edition)

- On latest OTA OF1 for Modem, Recovery and Boot (Lollipop 5.0)

- Rooted

- Running JasmineROM 6.1 as base and working on debloating

- Can restart from beginning with official OTA OF1 update if needed due to new Root found

Questions:

1. I've found that I must go through the official Samsung Setup Wizard after a factory reset for the built in Samsung Task Manager to work. If I remove the Samsung Setup Wizard, the built in Samsung Task Manager will NOT work after a factory reset. I guess the Samsung Setup Wizard enables the Samsung Task Manager? My issue is I have to remove the Samsung Setup Wizard due to the debloating of other Samsung apps or it will crash in a loop after a factory reset and I'll have to start over with the OTA as mentioned above since I'll be locked in the crashing setup wizard loop. I understand I could just not do a factory reset after debloating as the built in task manager keeps working, but I'm trying to make a ROM out of this to make my life easier later if I want to factory reset. Is there a way to manually enable the built-in Samsung Task Manager without completing the Samsung Setup Wizard?

2. Google account Sync error: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly" shows up under my Google account under Settings. This only shows up after I debloat and continues even after I do a factory reset on my customized ROM. I did NOT debloat anything Google app wise that was part of the base ROM. All the Google Apps I install (Chrome, Gmail, Voice, Contacts, etc) do sync perfectly fine, however. I'm not sure what's causing this error now, but it will not go away and I'm not really sure what's not actually syncing. Any ideas what it could possibly be?

Thank you!

UPDATE:

1. I could never find out how the Samsung Setup Wizard activated the Samsung Task Manager so I simply just went without the option to do a factory reset. Considering we have root on 5.0 now, I'll just start from scratch if needed.

2. I figured out what the issue was with the Google sync. Considering I debloated everything down to basically the Phone and Play Store apps and built it up with my own apps, the sync broke because the Samsung Calendar was part of that debloating. The Google Sync error was because it was trying to sync my Google calendar data, but had no application to sync it with. It was hard to find because the Calendar data did not show up in my Google account list with everything else since no app was there. Once I added the calendar apk back, everything started to work again. I tried to install the Google Calendar app, but had no luck because no other Calendar app would work without the stock Samsung Calendar apk for some reason. The stock Samsung apk activates some "calendar storage" of some sort, I guess.

I hope this information is able to help somebody. :)
