So we have root... now what - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General

I along with a bunch of people have root and am just curious what are some of the things you guys are itching to do or have done right away. I figure this could be a place where we share ideas.

Removing all the bloat would probably be the number one thing people Will be doing.
But rooting allows so much more.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app

1. Titanium Backup to remove bloat
2. Get Google Wallet back.
3. Get all my Tasker scripts that required root working again.

No more ads...

Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app

I installed Wallet right from the Play Store... haven't rooted my phone yet.

1. Titanium backup
2. no more ads!
3. AutomateIt (it's like Tasker) now can control app specific GPS on/off toggle.
4. I'm going to debloat the crap out of the phone
5. GMD GestureControl (get my swipe to Alt-Tab between apps back)
I almost never get a phone before it's been rooted, and in the few days that I've used the note 3 without Root, I've come to realize that rooting is pretty important in my day-to-day usage.

Are you able to pay with Wallet? I thought we could install it but the Verizon Note 3 would not allow us to pay with it.

What do you mean no ads. I have no ads now. What about DPI. Note 2 was all about 240 DPI. what's the hot DPI now.

V cast media manager!

Hello peeps just wanted to know disable the V Cast Media Manager from syncying, I tried unchecking everything the list, but the next day it magically checks everything on the list again.....
I know its part of the bloat ware package and can't be unistalled, just wanted an alternate option.

Just use one of the approved temp root methods and freeze the App with Titanium Backup.

Go over to the dev section, grab scrosler's CleanTool and it becomes pretty elementary from there. Oh and Media Manager's package name is com.htc.vmm.

Aroma app package

Hey everyone, I have been creating a list of apks for a personal aroma app installer for myself. I'm sure most of you know about this but I haven't seen it around here. Since I have a decent list of apps already, I'm offering to share it if enough people want it. I will take app requests as well to add to it. I just wanted to get an idea if people want it before I ask permission from the creators to use it. I would like to give a little something back to the community even though it's nothing difficult or spectacular.
Let me know if it's good or a waste before someone starts flaming me lol.

I've been thinking about this question, but I think I know the answer. If people submit apps, they will need to be free apps, because most paid apps don't have advanced enough license checks to prevent users from side loading them without them having purchased the license in the play store.
So am I correct to assume that the aroma installer you publish will be with free apps only?
Right off the top of my head, titanium backup and kernel tuner come to mind and nice freebies, android tuner free is another good one if you like it better.
Absolutely, only free apps. I know some obtain paid versions without paying but I will not be doing that since I do not want to cause problems for xda, myself, or others. I would be including apps such as internet browser, sms, root tools, social apps, tools, etc. Several of the more popular options for each

You can create an update.zip of TB from the settings and it places a flashable zip on your sd to flash in recovery. But it will definitely be in the package anyway. Was the first one I added.

It would be useful to be able to load a file manager from recovery... I use Solid Explorer (paid) but I don't know if it would work to sideload the trial and then restore the key with Titanium. Maybe you could include Solid Explorer, and ES Explorer as a nice free alternative?

Like I mentioned in the previous post, I won't include paid apps for obvious reasons but es file explorer and astro will be in there. I will add solid as well.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Just to be clear, I did mean that you could include the trial, and then users could restore or re-download the key (although I'm not entirely sure that that will work - I know that for Fancy Widgets, I have to download both the app and the key from the store unless I restore my previous Android ID, but it works fine to restore Apex and its key, and Titanium stores its license on the SD card, so I never have to install the key at all).
Although many paid apps are readily available for free, I don't see why anyone should avoid paying an extremely modest sum to help the developers maintain their devices and services and hence their apps.
Ya I know. I will add the trial version like you mentioned. And I agree. I used to get all the paid apps for free but I guess I grew up and realized I should help support them. They are so cheap to buy anyway.

You could create an empty folder for people to put their own paid apps in. Aroma does not care if the folder is empty. Just call it paid with /data/app in it.
You could also create another folder for people to drop their apps in it that you did not include.
Just don't pre select them in the menu

I know you say you have enough, but here is a request I hope would be easy... An app that would allow a long press on the volume buttons to change tracks from the current music app in use. Example, I use power amp, the HTC music app, and doggcatcher for podcasts. But most roms I can only use long press for the HTC music app. If possible, I would be grateful.

No I meant without the need of root access. Titanium Backup without the root access is what I'm talking about. Not every user understands rooting. I'm talking about a simple app with a click of a button just like iCloud.
But I'm guessing save datas are stored in a rooting access required location am I right? If thats the case, then only Google can come up with something.
if you are still accepting ideas..
have you seen the google glass' video that says how it feels like to wear google glass?
try making something based on that model, like the camera viewfinder is our eye and we say to give commands. Let's say we speak "what's the weather" and it shows the weather in viewfinder just like it is shown in video. other features can also be implemented.

Successfully Frozen Apps

Now that we have some root access, I figured we could use this thread to report what apps we've successfully frozen/uninstalled, and using which app.
So far from using Rom Toolbox (Pro) I was able to freeze the following:
-Amazon
-Amazon Kindle
-Backup Assistant Plus
-My Verizon Mobile
-SEAndroid
-Setup Wizard
-Sync Service (backup assistant)
-Verizon Login
-Verizon Mobile Security
-Verizon Remote Diagnostics
-Verizon Tones
-Verizon Navigator
-Verizon Voicemail
-Voice Recorder
Uninstalled:
-NFL Mobile
-Audible
Cant find/figure out:
-Viewdini apk (no idea what this even is)
-VZW Mobile Hotspot apk
-Audible Re-installs itself.
Some of the apps were stubborn and needed to be frozen a couple of times for it to stick.
I have frozen via TitanBU:

I could be mistaken but i think when you don't root, there isn't ALWAYS an option to disable an app. I know on my wife's phone there are some apps she has to leave in the app drawer because when you go to disable it, the "disable" button is greyed out. You can't click it.
If you root, you can disable EVERY app, even the ones with the greyed out buttons.
But i'm sure if i'm wrong you will correct me with all caps and annoying exclamation points

All i have to say is one thing and hope this guy can comprehend .... If root is pointless to "freeze/disable" apps and only for flashing roms... then explain to us how you can disable Verizon apps without root (like VZ Backup Assistant) cause without root, the disable button is gone or grayed out.
wow...came here to see what apps people had uninstalled (instead of just freezing them) and all i got was dumber!

what apps have you uninstalled without issue?

Free up some memory till we get root

If anybody else is having issues running out of memory before we get root, here's what you can do.
Go to Settings>Apps, scroll to all, and see which ones you can Disable.
I haven't had any issues since I did that.
Also, ART has given me a lot of issues. If you don't know what it is then your fine.

Yeah, the Sprint stuff we're stuck with til we get root/unlock. If Sprint/LG stays true to form, we won't even be able to remove bloat until we get unlock.
I'm a minimalist as far as my phone, so I have very few apps and widgets. Im always modifying things to make stock better.
It amazes me though that we have 3gigs of memory and it easily goes down to 500mb. That's when I start having issues and why I posted this.
I don't even use FB or G+.
Can't wait for root/unlock to see what this phone is really capable of.

Actually I've gotta give it up to Sprint/lg for actually giving us the ability to remove about 95% of the bloat. The very few that I actually couldn't uninstall I just hid. May not be perfect, but an effort was made to allow us some control, and that's a great start. Hope to see more of this in the future. [emoji106]

I hadn't thought to run ART, but I decided to try it out. It's actually super smooth for me, no issues aside from Pandora, but I fixed that. No weird freezes or reboots like I had on my Note. The only thing that hangs slightly is Media Browser, but it's usable.
If only we had Xposed for ART. And root... good things come in time though.
I have been using an app for a few years now with some pretty good customization. Fast Reboot Pro. There is also a lite version. It works great for me. You can decide which apps it handles and if it will free memory when you unlock or lock your phone. Also a widget to free up memory when you need a quick boost, which is the way I use it.

Why would you disable them? Try clearing cache and data on them. If that doesnt work you can try to get copies of the apks.

I had no issues with ART for about 2 weeks. Then one night I went to sleep woke up and some apps as well as some games started to act very funny. They would load then crash out the Facebook app itself would hang forever and never work yet the night before everything was working fine. I went back to dalvik and I've had zero issues since that time. ART was nice minus the issues I had I would love to keep using it.
What is this ART everyone speaks of

Android Run Time. It's supposed to be better, more efficient than dalvik. It's under Developer options in settings.
