Hi, thanks for getting back to me, I have figured it out all I needed to is remove app installer apk from the ROM using TB
By the way I'm stock using latest ICS released by at&t.
thank you...
could you please put the word "SOLVED" in your thread title ?
It helps users find the answers to their questions, and it keeps the threads clean.
Thanks !!......g
OK how do I do that ( put SOLVED ) ?
You can edit your original post...
simply find the "edit" button, and use it to open your mesaage, then you can change the title.
No big deal if you can't, it's just a suggestion....g
As the title says, I want to disable as much of the bloatware as possible with out harming any system functions.

Does this list assume you've rooted and flashed a different rom? I don't think touchwiz home is safe to disable if you're stock.

Its a list ( more than one on that post ) of apps that can be removed .
Stock and non rooted it does not apply apart from you could use it as a guide to some of the apps .
No root = No XDA .

Did you literally just imply that if you don't root you shouldn't be using xda? I see no disclaimer anywhere claiming this is a root only forum...

No it does not say it anywhere on this forum but same is the case with "This Forum is only for those who can read", it is no where in the forum rules. But it is assumed.
Similarly, this forum is based on development, which again means that you will have to work with system files which in turn means that you need to have root access..
Most of the tools, methods, guides on this forum are for root users.
And this is what JJ meant. I hope I made it very clear.
100% correct zoot1.
No root = no development = no XDA .
Sure you can join XDA and not root but you are very limited in what you can achieve .
Also the questions asked often get an answer that presumes the user has rooted .

Good luck

Well, basically, there is only one way to do this properly. Everything, that looks suspicious, in that manor, like (eg.g. In my case) HRS hotels..
Not Samsung, don't need it, gone.
Or: GMail, Google app. Belongs to Android. Keeping it..
I'd say, create a backup, just in case, then try it out, but as slow as you can and not just: This, this, this.. and ohh.. I know! This can go, to!
And infact you just deleted the csc.. just be carfefull!
And if something goes wrong, who cares? You created a backup As long as you backup your stff, before mucking around, with your system files, you're pretty much fine!
I learnt to do this sort of stuff, by thinking: It's AOSP, I've got the stuff on my PC and I'm really nosy! Let's do this, this.. Oh... wiat. Wait if.. Oh, who cares!
Just be a daredevil, don't be afraid, to mod your phone. Always do a backup (NAND, or ADB) and you're fine, like I said
Happy daring!

I'm not actually deleting anything, just using the disable function in ICS. Thank you very much for the feedback though. I did pretty much do what you said, trial and error. And if something goes wrong I can just enable the app again.

First about touchwiz home, you also can disable it on unrooted stock, if you installed a third party launcher before like apex.
About trial and error and disabling, still be careful, if you disable something the system needs it could be your Rom gets unstable or won't boot when you reboot next time. At this case the rooted method is way better, because without you aren't able to backup or restore if something fails. Yes you can mess up more than without root, but it doesn't really matter, because you can backup your whole system.
Edit: ok, sry my fault, you indeed can't disable touchwiz home without root.

Before I root my GS4....I'm a bit confused on how you actually backup your stuff in case you want to revert back to stock. I've read about using Titanium, but dont you use that after you've already rooted your device?
I just got my S4, never used android before and really want to give rooting a try....but not without knowing how to safely restore my device. Sorry for the noob question....I see plenty of info on rooting, but not restoring.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
You don't really have to worry about losing any data when you root. Just follow the instructions to root and then back up with Titanium Backup. It's probably my favorite app.

If you want to return to unrooted stock, go here. It will return you to factory software. Choose the One-Click version to make your life easier

Thanks for the info guys....appreciate it!
btw...is it possible to use the Google Play store after you root?
Watch out for the slow download speeds....

Not slower. Imagine on a Windows computer administrator permissions. Rooting allows you administration access on your phone. Everything still works. No slow downs or any changes other than you can modify system apps

Will I have to have one of those apps that hide your root for the store to allow you to connect, or should my phone act as normal?

I'm new to rooting, what new,root-only apps and features can I get for my tablet?
Thanks.
Must have, root explorer. Used it and removed a lot of bloatware apps. Tablet is quicker as well

I usually attempt to not post my stuff here as it's shameless view whoring when I do it, but here is a link to a piece I'm updating regularly about various root-using apps.
http://www.pocketables.com/2013/04/the-big-list-of-android-root-applications-and-tools.html
Gets updated on average once every week. Should give you a pretty decent idea of what you can do with rooted devices.
Root Explorer, Performance Booster (root) and Titanium Backup are the vital tools you need.

Hello guys I bought the mega few hours now and I love it
I just wanna ask should I root or should I wait a bit
Sent from my GT-I9200 using xda app-developers app
It depends how you want to customise your phone. If you want to use a custom launcher or kernel or to tune the device more finely such as uninstalling stock applications and using applications that require root like Greenify and the Xposed Framework, then yes.
