I received the SGH-i957 for work and they told us not to add any weird apps. What I want to do is remove some the crappy AT&T apps to use less resources. I have rooted an EVO 4g and a HTC Arrive Windows Phone as well as my old HTC Touch Diamond. I have been reading the different threads and I am just curious what you guys think the best method is?
It really doesn't use more resources

I appreciate your response but I would still like to root it.

If your work said to not mess with apps then I wouldn't really root it.
If you don't care about that, then just follow the rooting thread. I personally like the kernel root method

I will go into more detail I guess. I want to backup how they gave it to me and run it custom, be it remove apps or a new rom. I am worried about some kind of privacy issues. With my HTC Evo 4g I could backup the original rom completely and then uninstall programs or install a new rom.

Flash twrp and make a nandroid backup then do your root process.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yeah, I am definitely rooting it. It is ungodly slow with only a few programs on it and it keeps using at&t data even though I have removed all widgets and have very few apps installed. I know that know one wants to hear me say this but every time I use Android I dislike it more and more. I am sorry if I offend anyone.

Ok, I got permission from the boss to root and either clean up the stock rom, remove crap, or load a custom rom. So should I just follow the guide in this and if I have to run a custom rom use the on in this thread. Do I have to use the twrp and nandroid backup to make a backup? Or can I restore the stock rom buy using Method 2 after I follow the Method 1 in the root guide?

I'm pretty tired right now but I will detail it out for you tomorrow. I need to make some edits to that thread. Mainly to include new links and to include twrp.

Thanks for your help man. I want you to know you are not just helping me.
Ok guys. I have come up with a method to install 4.4.2 international and T-Mobile ROMs without ADB.
I am using some stuff from @drakeymcmb and @Hashcode
I however need some help.
I will not be doing a tutorial yet because this is not complete.
I used EchoeROM from the International section. It boots and runs fine for the most part.
Bugs I can't figure out how to fix but have ideas for based on fixes from the AT&T S4.
Wi-Fi will not turn on. (I will need @Hashcode to help with that.)
Using the ATT PTA apns works, but is shoddy with LTE.
I ran into one random reboot when opening messaging. Didn't happen after it booted up again.
If you guys could give me a hand. I and the community would love you.
THIS IS NOT AND MAY NEVER BE A FINAL METHOD. DO NOT ASK FOR ETA's. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THIS IS ONLY A PROOF OF CONCEPT.
Reserved for screen shots showing proof.

It involves a combo of Odin and safe strap. Basically the exact process for XRom and Knoxraid. I have not seen any posts or topics about it.so I am fairly confident that we can work together to get more ROMs on our device.

OK guys. Waking up first then gathering all the files/links together for this install method for my one and only tester. I need more testers though. If you are willing to put this install method to the test, please PM me.
This is a warning. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE. If you choose to be a tester, that is all on you. Make sure you have a full backup of both your internal and external SD cards somewhere on your computer. I again am not responsible if you lose important data. Make sure that you do this now while I prepare to put this out for testers and testers only.
Right now, you should also download an International 4.4.2 ROM that does not use Aroma for install. I used the EchoeRom for my test.
I would like anyone that wants to test for me to be ready so that we can speed up this process.

Files are almost ready for distro. I ran into a problem while testing so I need to extract some stuff from KnoxRaid and build a flashable zip file to be used in SS and package it with the files I will have the testers download. I also realized that you will wipe the internal SD card so MAKE A BACKUP. Any files to be flashed via Safestrap need to be on the External SD.
Sent from my Nexus 7 2013 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I just cannot get Wifi or NFC to turn on... I have tried building an update package to flash with SS, but it doesn't help... I am going to try a few more things and test some more. I know you guys want this, but I want it working on my end before I start sending it out.
Did you get it to work?
I can only get the ROM to boot...
NFC and wifi will not turn on. I have tried multiple different routes to get them functional, but to no avail. I'm gonna take a break for a bit. Clear my mind and try again. I need a package to fix those and to help save time with setup a package to flash the correct LTE APNs to the phone so users don't have to input them manually.

Pretty sure you need a custom rom to do this. I did this using the viperone rom before.
Yea I know that. But I'm sure there is a way to customize it on any Rom just don't know where to make the edits.
Sent from my 831C using XDA Free mobile app
I'm sure @O.M.J probably knows, among others.
You don't need a custom rom. Install Xposed and then download and install either or both of these modules: Sense 6 Toolbox and Xsense.
Those two apps have tons of customizations. Its so customizable that I haven't even flashed a custom ROM yet.

Yeah, I'm telling you there is so much you can do with Xposed modules it really nullifies the point of using a custom ROM. Well for me at least.

Stock Rooted ROM
I have created a stock rooted OC3 ROM.zip! This ROM is COMPLETELY Stock and only has root applied. This is only the beginning! This ROM.zip will help you if you need to get back to stock and do not want to ODIN back to stock and lose everything!
You can also try out my Extreme Syndicate ROM (coming soon) if you want something extremely debloated with all essential applications and features intact and with some MODS. If you are unaware of my previous work, check it out in the Verizon Galaxy S5 development thread!

Thanks elliwigy!! Great work! I assume this stock rooted ROM will completely wipe my device?
Looking forward to your first custom ROM as well.
I'm unfamiliar with flashfire, although very comfortable with Odin from all my S3 days. In reading through the flashfire thread it seems I may want to wait until there's better documentation for it?
Thanks again

Keep in mind this ROM is COMPLETELY stock and I did run it and tested most functions and all worked for me.. Therefore I do not support this ROM as far as troubleshooting or any issues. If you have any issues, feel free to post in here but it will be up to myself and the community to help you since my main focus is my Extreme Syndicate ROM.
