hi guys, I am searching for a completely stock rom but with absolutely no boat ware, does this exist? thanks you
No, because it wouldn't be completely stock would it?
You can check the sticky in themes and apps about apps that are safe to remove

you can use any stock rom there are so many debloat scripts lying around in this forum..
What people regard as bloat varies hugely, so I suggest reading up on what is safe to remove, then use titanium to initially freeze a few at a time, while you gain an understanding of what each .apk does, you can then easily restore if you encounter problems or uninstall when you decide for definite you don't want a certain function.
This approach will give you much better insight into the system whilst giving you valuable knowledge of it also.
Go slow, learn well = no brick
Android Development Stock debloated rom or one that uses Aroma is your starting point .

thank you all for the great advice, much appreciated

can someone please tell me what is the best official samsung firmware regarding modem and kernel .im on a vodafone contract .
i made the mistake of being a newbie and not knowing at the time how to back up my firmware i got with the phone .
i have found that most custom roms i have tried dont compare to my original software i got with the phone as far as battery life goes .
thanks in advance for any replies
thank you
In my opionion CyanogenMods rom is better in every way then the costum samsung fireware. Because loads of bloatware is not hogging your battery.
But keep in mind that i am a root noob myself.
On topic:Try looking for Intratechs thread. I think links to the official samsung firmware are provided

Well stick with the original one if ur happy. Cynogenmod only has one stable release so far. I sugguest u wait a bit more.
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Keep the original, because you're a clueless noob. Clueless noobs don't need custom roms. Don't take offense, I'm trying to help you avoid further bad feelings like this.
Well i understand your point but clueless noobs will always stay clueless by following your advice. I cannot speak for op but i like to know a bit more about the phone i am holding in my hand.

In that case their is plenty of information to read .Its noobs that wont read that get into trouble .
Genuine firmware the answer is simple use the latest release for your country from the stock rom thread .

Ok i'll read. Disregarding the fact that there are loads of contradicting text sources of information to be found on the net. I wont ask a question to confirm certain sources, because that is frowned upon.

Buddy i just joined and from what i have been reading through out the many threads here it is all down to choice. if i was you i do a little research and read peoples opinions from the threads..for example you are looking for a modem. Go the modem thread and see what people are saying...I know it is a bit to much to read but that is how you will gain knowledge and that will help you to tweak your phone to your choosing..Hope this helps
Not really bcause i agree with you. I am just saying dont flame a person for asking a question. Because in your opinion the awnser can be clear, but for the person reading it it probaply isn't hence the question.

Some ROMs ive downloaded seem to be just a stock ROM with twlauncher replaced by other launchers available on the market with extra apps added.

Use a kitchen.

Unlikely to be just stock + different launcher but you would need to read the roms specifications .
Point out rom version you describe please .

It sounds to me like what you want to do could be achieved with a Kitchen, which is a program that can help you customize your existing ROM by adding and removing pieces from it. The kitchen then normally outputs a ZIP file you can flash.
Some kitchens run on your handset, some run on your PC.
I am new to Galaxy S II (I've been a Vibrant user for years), but I am sure a quick search of the forums will find you some kitchens.
I am a complete noob to this even if I get one of these kitchens i wont know what do next, will it have tutorials?

Essentially you're looking for an easy way to do this (like 90% of people on here), and there isn't one.
If you really want to make roms you wouldn't be asking basic questions on here. You'd be doing the research/learning necessary to achieve what you say you want to do.

This says it all. You're not even close to having the ability to make your own ROM.
And before anyone flames, I happily admit that I'm not close either. I've done the research, but lack the time and - especially - skills necessary.
There's a lot of tools that will help you theme a ROM, probably a better point to start from. Check the general android themes forum.
I know im not close but there was a time when the best rom producers didnt even know what a rom was.
Im just tryin to find out where to start and since theres a lot of rom developers on this site i think its the best place to ask

Agree - everyone has to start somewhere. But I reckon most devs here have some coding/programming skills as a base - something I certainly don't possess.
Here's a noob's guide that I've been promising myself to try one day, when I have 8 or 10 years spare... seems a good starting point anyway. It's for the HD2 but the general theory seems universal.
Otherwise, google.

Anyone have a list of bloatware that is safe to remove from the ICS leak?
(Actual file names?) Would be nice to get rid of a lot of this.
Thanks.
No one has a list?
Make one then? I just deleted stuff that I knew was useless, and didn't pay attention enough to record which ones. Just remove the stuff that's obvious, and a quick Google search will tell you what the others do if you don't know. Nobody can make a completely comprehensive list, as some find useful what others find as crap. Even de bloated ROMa suggests have more stuff that I end up deleting every time I flash a new room, because the devs hereto stuff inn there that I see as unnecessary.

So my battery is going out on me. I'm currently on CM 10.1, S-on, rooted. It looks like I have accidentally deleted my backup of my stock sense rom. I was curious if anyone could direct me to a place or explain how I can find and switch over to stock sense rom while s-on?
Thanks!

Do you want to un-root, or will a stock rooted ROM work? There are a few stock rooted ROM's in the development section-just head in there and check them out

Ultimately I do want to un root, so that would be nice to know. But thank you! I will flash those roms asap.
I feel like I answer this question a million times a day when there are even guides and posts that a simple search will give you what you need. Come on people... This is getting ****ing ridiculous. Pardon my French. I'd love to help if most of the users I do help gave simple thanks. But this is getting stupid. Actually, this IS stupid. So, on that note... DO A SEARCH!

Well I would like to thank you sir for at least looking at this post, I have been searching but I can't find anything specifically useful. I'm new to this... No need to take it out on people that don't know how to navigate.
Thanks.
Anyone have a list or an idea of what I can remove in regards to stock apps? I've seen a list like this for other phones and I know this phone is new but I'm sure there's power users out there that have removed tons. And if so, is titanium backup the best way to remove them?

Titanium Backup is your best choice, freeze is recommended.
Yea it took me a minute to find and I knew it was there.

Much appreciated. Yeah froze a ton of stuff. I subscribed to your thread so if I come across anything acting weird after being frozen/removed I'll post it there.

I would appreciate it, I'm running JellyBomb Domination ROM now and having a hard time adding new content, there are apps listed that may be essential and unlisted apps that may be bloat...
What I have been doing is trying to add explanations and links to each apps functions to make it easier for users to know exactly what it is they're freezing/removing.
I have a pretty good understanding of what does what. Unfortunately no idea what noq is haha.
