I don't know which app to disable but Adaway should be one of the first things you install if you hate ads

He didn't ask why he should root. He asked for specific apps & services that are safe to disable.

Ya, i think some people confuse the English language. I'm sure he has or had plenty of reason to root but he's asking a basic question on what apps to freeze, or what bloat can he uninstall. Don't hate on him cause he did not trip his Knox counter and you did! Lol J/k guys! My Knox counter is tripped too! But I prefer an unlocked bootloader myself...
For adaway and greenify. I'm just asking which apps or services are safe to disable.

I Gennify any app that has "Gcm" next to it that I don't want push notifications for. For example, don't hibernate espn if you want espn to push your teams score or something.

I don't think so, we just have to take care with the app we install, mainly the outside Google Play.
Basacly every app that does not require root will not kill your device

If you are not rooted, no need at all. An app won't have SuperUser permissions to run so it won't cause any real damage apart from eating RAM or sending random text messages.
If you are rooted, just install SuperSU or SuperUser. If a fishy looking app asks for Root Access, Deny It. You'll be good.
Its not really necessary.. just be sure of what apps you are downloading and installing.. Most antivirus apps tend to drain a lot of battery too - so its better to not install any antivirus on your phone...
Ty guys! Anyway they are supposed to eat RAM
Disable root, don't put apk's on system and use privacy guard and you are done

So I search xda and couldn't find anything current.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=so i'm rooted, now what?
I just rooted my att N3 using Kingo. So now what?
I installed root checker, but that's it.
What do you folks suggest one does with a freshly root N3?
backing up?
removing bloatware?
make the powerful N3 even better?
what things have you rooting pros done with your new N3,
are there "must do" things as well?
I know some of you have really improved your stock N3, what do you suggest one do fresh after rooting?
Titanium Backup is a must for freezing and/or removing bloatware.
After that, check out Exposed Framework and Wanam, That will keep you busy for a while.
I would recommend a custom ROM

They don't say what the difference is when I click on the $6.58 version and read.
I don't wanna just blindly buy something, what do you like about the paid version?

It has a lot of capabilites but I used it for mostly freezing and backing up apps. I'm sure there's a thread around here about the app and all its capabilities.

OK, I'm ready to go romen, (and not the noodles) - lol
Would you kindly PM me a recommendation, one without the dreaded KNOX crapola please?
Lots of views, few replies.
(I bet a lot of stock users are looking to this thread for reasons to root :good
Keep the ideas coming rooters, I'm ready to customize some thangs -
Spend some time and flash any ROMs that appear interesting till you find one you like. Install Xposed framework and browse through all the modules and look for anything that interests you; Wanam and App Setting are probably the 2 most popular modules and sometimes installed already on custom ROMs.

ATT Note 3 android development thread is where all the ROMs made for our phone will be.
Welcome to the community! Titanium backup pro is a must if you're going to be romming and modding you're android devices. Custom roms are definitely the way to go especially being new to android modding. There are a few really smart dudes developing great custom roms for the n9005a. They do all the work that you would want done and they're really good at it. I recommend knoxraid by @drakeymcmb. He has been involved with romming this phone since before we had a recovery to flash from. There a bunch of helpful people that follow his thread.

What does the "Pro" version give you that the free version doesn't, (can't find any info on that in the play store)
Allows you to freeze apps, and allows for automated restore operations. Well worth the money if you plan on restoring backups across multiple roms.

http://www.titaniumtrack.com/titanium-backup.html has a side by side comparison. Little less confusing than the play store pages that predominantly list the pro features.

Yes I suppose, Google apps and services doesn't affected by device system changes, it's "cloud" stored.

Rooting only gives you more permission to modify the system settings, it doesn't have any affect on apps.

I don't use Google Wallet, but have used AT&T Softcard app. If you root Softcard will no longer work. It states that the device is rooted and the app will close after you acknowledge the warning.

In Malaysia, yes. Once you root, there's no centre that accepts free service if you root.
However, it's vary by country, some still accept some are not.

Ok so I have been away from rooting for a while. One of the main reasons I root is because of ad away
What are some cool things you can do now the phone is rooted
Share here please
You could theme your phone's UI, icons, sounds, and animations, customize certain actions (such as double tapping the status bar to turn off your phone's screen), and uninstall apps that were previously permanently in your phone, since you have access to the system partition.
You can also get Xposed, which has modules that will let you do the stuff I've mentioned and much more.

Because Samsung used their own tweaks on ART, and so far Xposed hasn't been made to work with it (possibly never will be either).

First thing I did was the torch mod I posted in this forum (link from the S5 forum, but works perfectly with this model as well). Hate having to unlock the phone to turn on the torch..

For the most part Yes. I just selected the option to disable all bloatware and then customized. For the first yesterday since getting the phone I didn't have to charge it at work.
Is the one-click bloat removal any good? I've been using Titanium Backup and just freezing/removing apps...
