Hey all, so im using the international galaxy s3 stock unrooted, on jelly bean 4.1.2 and I was wondering which apps could I disable from application manager. I disabled CHATON and GAMEHUB as I rarely even click on those apps. I saw which apps which were safe to disable from this link, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1#gid=0
however that was made for ics, so I was wondering is there any difference with jb in terms of apps that can be disabled? Thx
don't worry can use it

sorry, i dont understand what you meant, so your saying i can just disable the apps
There has been no update on that information regarding JB .
Try for yourself is the only way .

R: [Q] Apps that can be disabled on jelly bean 4.1.2?
Hey man just prepare a nandroid and then follow that article (which should work fine for jb as well) and disable all you want....
Also remember if ure trying to disable probably its because those apps are trying to f**k with ur phone, so use autostarts from the store to disable startup apps and greenify to disable running background apps temporarily until used again. I think this method is better than freezing apps....

Flash an AOSP rom such as CM10 nightlies
Use root explorer. Navigate to system/app and delete the Seclauncher app. Do this at your own risk.

I found very different answers on the internet about this topic.
Some say yes you can update when rooted some say no and some say you can if you didn't remove any apps.
I would like to root my samsung galaxy S III I9300 and remove the samsung apps.
I do not want a custom rom and I would like to update my phone at any time when there is a new update.
Also would like to know if I could remove the "TouchWhiz home" and use the standard jelly bean skin.
So far as I know it's in the list named "System UI" with the jelly bean logo.
Thanks for all the replies,
Instead of rooting my phone I sold my Samsung Galaxy S3.
The comments were very useful and made me think, I decided to buy a google phone since the Samsung Galaxy S3 has still a quite high value in The Netherlands.
This would give me the pure android experience without rooting the phone or installing new roms.

You could try freezing the samsung apps in application manager so you don't need to root
And don't uninstall system ui, touchwiz is called touchwiz in the apps list

I did freeze those apps but I still would like to remove them.
I don't like it when there are apps on my phone which I didn't install myself that bothers me very much. :silly:
I didn't want to remove the "system UI" but the question was if I could remove the "TouchWhize home" and use the "System UI" instead.
The "System UI" has the jellybean logo so in my eyes this would be the official android skin?
Thanks for your reply! :good:
Best option for removing the Samsung apps is to root your phone. Touchwiz is also the default home of your S3. I am on Apex so I don't use it. But i am not sure if you can run System UI. Never seen it.
If you want a JellyBean theme then download Apex Launcher or Go Launcher and download the JellyBean themes from the Play Store. They're all free from memory. I use to use them.

you are very misinformed the system ui isnt the stock jelly bean launcher that is the things such as the status bar etc so whatever you do you dont want to remove that as it will give you a tonne of force closes also as the other guy said there are many launchers that can give the stock experience i aswell used to use apex launcher, it has a tonne of customization and is very smooth. you can after youve installed apex launcher uninstall touchwiz if you are rooted although i dont recommend it. if it bothers you id just recommend freezing/disabling it
Wasn't sure.

I wasn't sure about that "System UI" so if I root the phone I will let the "TouchWhize home" on the phone and install a launcher.
Also I would like to know if I am still able to update my Samsung Galaxy S3 after rooting.
Edit: 4/21/2013 - 3:24 AM
What if I still change my mind to install a different rom which rom would give me the most updated version of jelly bean?
Thanks for your reply :highfive:
I recommend Apex Launcher for a rooted phone and Go Launcher for unrooted. Go Launcher is probably the best but if your rooted its not really as good anymore.
With the Samsung updates I'm not sure if you can because I have not done it but from my knowledge. If you run a custom ROM, it will notify you for an update which will probably give you the features of the latest update.
I am running Resurrection Remix JB 3.1.4 running android 4.2.1

you cant update your rom if you put a rom on it the only way to do it is when a new fw comes out wait for the devs to update their rom then download the rom and reflash it. if you want a complete vanilla android rom then 4.2.2 is the latest fw and you will find most of them roms in the original development thread if you want a samsung based rom and just download a different launcher then i would recommend 4.1.2 as the 4.2 versions are leaked and can be unstable, for stock android the latest none leaked fw is emc3

I think you made the right choice for what you were after and where you say the s3 is worth quite abit in the netherlands still here in the uk is isnt worth anything anymore hahaah XD
Dam right!

I can imagine that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is not that much worth in the UK
The Netherlands didn't get the Nexus 4 so there are just a few stores which sell the Nexus 4.
So before that everyone would have the S4 I sold my S3 and bought the Nexus 4.
I thought that would be a smart idea and so far it is :silly:
Hi Guys,
I have Superuser app installed and working.
I am wondering if it is possible to pick a Lockscreen app apk from a Custom Rom and replace it in my phone (Copy+Paste).
Will it work as easily like eating a butter ?

It can work, but I think it wouldn't because of different frameworks. Just use a custom rom for your device that offers the style you like or simply try go locker or similar apps from playstore

Thanks for your time to reply.
Just curious, What do you mean by different frameworks ? Do you mean different versions like ICS, JB versions ?

No, the framework is for the "look" of your phone and some basic things. For example there's the sony framework and the stock android framework and that's for example the reason why you can't use some stock sony system apps (or the home.apk) on cyanogenmod
System apps cannot be installed by regular method, because they do not include any signatures (apk files are not signed), thereby Android refuses to install due to security reasons.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
So, I'm thinking of switching to official ROM. The thing is, it's full of crapps. I want to remove EVERY SINGLE .apk I don't need(be it in the launcher or not). I want it to be as slim as CyanogenMod 10.1
Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!
First...you need to root your firmware in order to 'debloat'....
Second....you need an app like Titanium Backup to freeze and/or remove the bloat.....
Take a look at this thread. .....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069924
Word of advice.....
1) freeze the (cr)apps before you delete them....to find out whether you lose any functionality that you need......you can unfreeze any needed apps if that does happen.
2) make a nandroid backup before you begin......that way you can restore your (bloat filled) firmware if you accidentally remove a system app that your phone needs to boot.....
Sent from my rooted, de bloated, stock JB powered S2 via PhilZ kernel and XDA developers app
An easier method to debloat is after rooting, install the app system cleanup, in the apps section it will give detailed info on most apps and which all are safe to remove and which all can be removed but with loss of features.

Just had a look at that system cleanup app.......
Seems it can do the same as Titanium Backup.....and a whole lot more......

Several ROMs are debloated, for example,
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 4.0 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | Best STOCK ROM
It might be good to peek in the ROM Bible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423022
And go through the developer's thread to see the list of ROM's and read their first page where the features/unfeatures/undocumented features (bugs) are listed.
Good answer!
You really have to be careful when uninstalling apps.
Best thing to do is to freeze them in titanium backup first. Then if they kill something you can un freeze them.

Thanks pbergonzi and Chevy for your valuable replies
and one more question
Debloated ROM means what kind of ROMs ? What exactly does it mean ?
sorry i am noob
thank you
Debloating means to remove the bloat. Bloat means to puff up, or swell. Some people feel that carriers fill the phones with junk, such as T-mobile apps, that is, bloated. Some developers make ROM's without the junk or bloatware, thus debloated.
The simple act of google finds explanations of bloat, etc. That is a reminder to search. One of the things that separate noobs from non-noobs is the ability to use a search engine.
Thank You
so basically you are saying search before you post, right ?
ok got it !
sorry
thank you friend
Use rom toolbox to get rid of bloat, it has an uninstaller through which you can remove any system applications. Make sure you have root and proper know how which application can be removed without ending up in a boot loop
