I've had this Australia Note (carrier free) for a few days now and would like to remove some of the bloat that I do not use/want just to clean it up a little:
E.g
Ap Mobile
Accuweather
Buddies Now
Yahoo Finance (why is this on there?)
Social Hub
I'm on:
Baseband Version: N7000XXLA4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35-7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
[email protected]#2
Can anyone suggest a course of action (with simplified steps) to get rid of all of this while keeping original functionality?
Thank's.
hey there buddy i feel your pain and sadly i can only give u some bad news followed by possible solution to your problem.. the apps you mentioned are all fixed and cannot be removed from what i have learned past year here but the only option i can suggest you is download titanium backup and pay the 5.99 usd and upgrade to pro.. then u can freeze all those apps for the experience u are wanting.. unfortunately cannot delete those apps without causing issues best is what i suggested.. trust me titanium backup pro will come in much more handy down the road not just for freezing bloatwares but backing up all apps and restoring together unlike any other app out there.. Highly recommended for every android user

oh yeah its the first requirement and it skipped my mind..lol sorry
even i just got my note 2 days back with LA4 after having used SGS2 for over a year.. really missing ICS on the S2.. still familiarizing myself with various issues with this phone to be sorted out like had to do with s2 year back..
you can either flash a KJ1 fw since your current LA4 cannot be rooted..
i also found this very helpful thread with rooted repacked odexed fws please give this a read also as i am currently doing might be less time consuming than the downgrading method.. still unsure! always helps to scavenge the forums and ask members for help since XDA is such a welcoming and friendly community

(A belated) Thanks!
Devil and Bayu:
Apologies for the late reply - life just took over for a while there. I'm normally straight in on these things.
Well thanks for the info - you've put my suspicions to rest. LA6 is not as straight forward as others. So I'm going to leave it as it is for now and perhaps root up sometime in the future and live with these dirty little bloats for now (I hate all this muck inside my toy really).
As for the future - I'm actually very happy with the stability of Gingerbread and just wondering if it's REALLY worth upgrading to ICS when it comes out OTA ?
I'm not the type that must have the latest and greatest OS BUT if it means that ICS will improve things for me, eg. battery (of all things), fluidity, etc... then It might be worth it.
Im interested on what you think about the official ICS samsung upgrade on the GT N700?
Will it be easier to root the ICS version when it arrives ?
you can remove the apks from /system/app to get rid of them
providing you have root access
Hey guys, please only answer and keep reading if you are willing to help at a 100% rate. Don't need trolls here, but people who can actually help!
I want to reinstall my Stock ROM. I've been using Stock GB 2.3.5 since start, with Root, then I added CF Root b84 Fix. But its getting kinda laggy(I only have like 7 pages of apps, somewhere about 100+ new installed apps). But they are apps that only run after they are called, not background Apps.
So I was woundering if a clean reinstall would help my phone?
EDIT: Runnning Stock ROM 2.3.5 - Samsung Galaxy Ace.
Or should I update to a new version of GB?
------------
If I need to update to a newer stock ROM, how do I do it?
------------
If I don't need, how do I reinstall?
------------
Either ways, what's the best backup I could do in such a case? Use Titanium and back it all up? But I got a question, If i back it all up and restore it, won't it be impossible to recover everything, since i got Link2SD and memory is big because of that? If I put everything back it will say too small size. How will I arrange with that?
Thanks whoever answer all my questions!

Ive flashed CM7 on several devices and its the best way to go for GB! :good:
flash with cm7 with cwm 5X and then again through odin flash 2.3.6 stock rom. it runs well i tested it
Noone answered all my questions
Also, isn't CM7 more RAM eating and more battery draining? That's what people saying..
And again, that doesn't answers my questions ;p I want to remain on stock. Just dunno if I should update to 2.3.6 and HOW do I do it. AKA its on my questions above.

To clear your misconception,Free RAM has nothing to do with your device being laggy(Though reduces multitasking).Unless whole 278 MB ram is being used,no lags.2nd,Free ram is wasted ram.3rd,read sticky.Lots of guides are stickied which tell you how to use ODIN,Root,Flash and all this stuff.4th,yes a clean install of ROM will help.Try stocklite,completely stock.Or i suggest you to flash DDKQ8 but if you are paranoid about RAM consumption,then I should tell you even with no apps installed,200+ MB ram is used in.this firmware.
EDIT:-And trolls,you will only find in OT

OT? xD Whats that.
Well, I know there's guides, but guiding, doesn't explain. I mean, a guide tell you, do this and that, but doesn't explains what your doing, or what is gonna be the result. Like with Link2SD, what gonna happen if I backup? If my phone is laggy, a backup from CWM will keep him laggy too... The lag from what i'm having is when I unlock my phone, the slide to unlock is laggy sometimes, and if you unlock it laggy, the phone will stay laggy for a while. People say its because of deep sleep(made a thread about it), but phones takes some time to go to deep sleep, and this is not the case.
So I have no idea what is DDKQ8, im no programmer or knower about those stuff. What are advantages, or what does DDKQ8 means..

OT is off topic thread.anyways DDKQ8 is baseband version.I recommend you do a factory reset and install the apps fresh.Dont restore data using Titanium backup or CWM.
Newer version of link2SD has relink option, which cross checks apps installed on your SD-ext partition, made for those rom changes. Otherwise, restore backup with titanium and link again.
Also, with 100+ apps lag is normal, if installed on SD card a higher class SD card helps.
To stop the lag when you turn the screen on,
Go to cyanogenmod settings>performance>CPU settings or download setCPU
Then change the minimum frequency to 245

i have come from a htc hd2 so i like to change roms alot.
what should i do with the galaxy note ?
i would like ICS so what are the steps ?
any help please
Have a good search round this forum and make sure you understand clearly how everything works before you decide to start flashing, I came from the HTC Desire and the Galaxy Note is a whole different ball game. Enjoy you new Galaxy Note
is the official ics update any good ?
what does rooting do ?
I personally didn't like the official ICS update, that is when I decided to flash a custom ROM.
Rooting gives you more control over your phone, lets you install apps like "Titanium Backup" that require root permissions to run.
i have the la6 kernel
im lost

Apparently this really depends on your location. For example the one Samsung released here (France, 4 months after being announced, too) was so broken it bricked a number of terminals and was subsequently withdrawn. With no word of when a fix will come.
Apparently other areas had working systems. One would think it would just be a matter of strings to translate and a few apps to package, so it's all very puzzling to someone who isn't familiar with Android (I've been intimately familiar with Linux for more than 20 years, and Unix before that, but I still don't get it).
And then, as you'll see by browsing the forums, many people seem to have issues with ICS. Issues that (IMO) just don't seem to make much sense in a system that would have been tested for a couple days by an intern somewhere...
OTOH, many people apparently have no issues.
So as with everything on the network, I suppose YMMV, take it with a grain of salt, yada yada... void where applicable.
See if anything is reported about your proposed (if any) update. Then decide if it's worth it (maybe it is).

Same as on any other terminal ? Lets you access functions that are typically "off limits". Among the most useful ones, you can now read/write anywhere. Which means you can allow/deny anything for any application. And notably block all those silly annoying bundled apps so they won't want to update any more, or, if you like, even start (a process known as freezing).
Have a look at the videos in my signature once..
For Rom official one is good but custom ones are great..
All roms are unique in their own way...the ones that stand out as totally awesome are Paranoid Android and TMT Hybrid IMUI...
Its your choice...

yes, just be careful, follow instruction to the dot, and don't take any shortcuts,
also, it's good to have tb backup, as additional security precaution

1. probably, but make sure in paranoid thread,
2. I assume you have done cwm backup, which will be rather useless when switching ROMs, having tb (i.e.Titanium Backup) backup you can generally restore your apps and data between roms (except for the system ones)

And that was the right thing to have for the time being, too bad you hurried on to ICS. In my opinion, when you have a new phone, you have to know it, enjoy it, love it ( ? ), installed a couple of hundred apps, and then, after being more than familiar whith it, it would be time to upgrade it, tweak it, etc., so the change could be apreciatte. It's like eating always the desert at first, withouth eating the soup and the salad.
As for rooting, if you had to ask, you probably did't need to root, but since that's already done, I'll give you a hint. There is one VERY interesting thing about rooting which anyone would find usefull. The posibility of using a Firewall. In this way, you could not only block those annoying ads (and save a little battery since the ads have to download from Internet). You can also protect your device from troyan / spy applications, which are increasingly expanding in android. For example, a simple sound board app, or a screen saver, ¿why should it use your internet connection? ¿To what ends?
Enjoy the Note, it's a hell of a phone.
Guys I'm new to android world with my galaxy s advance. The phone has about 768 mb RAM. but only about 550 is allotted to use. Out of which about 350 is always used by bloatwares. well I want to achieve this http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach.../9/9/3/8/7/Screenshot_2013-03-12-18-45-30.jpg
I know this is a custom ROM. but is there any way to get 630mb ram in use. And if it include removing bloatwares, Without flashing a custom Rom i would like to know how to do that. Thanks.
That increase in ram occurred for some people when they upgraded to jb..But it doesn't really make a difference to be honest.. removing bloatware would help though... For that you will have to root your phone and install an app Like Titanium backup Or Root uninstaller..
This should help in deciding which apps to remove.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200954

630 MB ram can be achieved only by using custom kernel on JB firmware. Stock JB firmware gives you 625 MB RAM. For removing bloatwares look at the thread by Darkness & Hope (Debloating Noob Guide or something like that)
The simplest way would be to use NoBloat Free app (from Google Play)
But you must be rooted by the way..... And be sure to not remove any system apps as then you have a chance to make your phone unstable or may even soft brick it!

I am trying to get the AT&T stuff out of my phone, and to have updates and bug fixes every now and then.
Untill now, found only the safestrap but i did not find any ROM that seems to have android 4.4.4. Is there anything like cyanogenmod?

Can't use a ROM with custom kernel, yet. I recommend 4.4.2 and HyperDrive 19. It works really well, has a nice installer with lots of extras, good battery life... All around, it's a really well built ROM.

As someone who was blindsided and crestfallen to find out about the locked bootloader (no cyanogenmod for us,we're S.O.L.) let me make some recommendations to at least get some of that stock android (i.e. cyanogenmod) feel back (I'm assuming you're already rooted, if not, google towelroot and follow directions):
Get SafeStrap
Flash this mod to drastically improve battery life and general performance
Get rid of KNOX
De-Odex your stock ROM (it's easy and allows a lot more customization)
And enter the exciting world of SMALI editing. This takes a little practice, and still doesn't afford the full freedom of CM, but you can customize the look and feel of your phone, still feel like a champ, and just learn about android in general. I've used a bunch of these successfully, with virtually no prior coding experience. E.g. I hated those battery/charger cover notifications, thanks to this thread, they're gone and not coming back.
Also, get rid of the stock launcher and replace it with NOVA launcher. More customization, smoother, better performance, looks more like CM. You can (and should) use Titanium Backup to either freeze or uninstall bloatware (at the very least any app with AT&T in the name).
AdAway is your friend.
Quick and easy mobile data toggle mod
I would recommend the Knox_Out zip in my post here since the one in the OP hasn't been updated since July and removes an apk you might actually need.
