2014 I'veRooted My N3, Now What?

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

Yes. I believe it's free with limited features. I actually purchased the full version.

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.

Keep up the post-rooting tips guys, I'm gonna edit the 1st post and start listing all your suggestions :good:

What else, us newbies what to learn more.

Sick of these carriers add this mobile advertising junk!

FYI, Sprint installs something called Luemn ToolBar and when you click on it it brings up Sprint Mobile Advertising program. Make sure you disabled this cr$p.

You can uninstall that Toolbar as well as all the other crapware, I'm looking at you NASCAR App.

You can uninstall a bunch of apps, but that toolbar you can't until we are rooted. Some sprint apps, Nascar, NBA you can.

I just disabled the toolbar in app settings for now

You probably can't uninstall the app if it is in /system until you are S-OFF. But you can flash a stock ROM with it removed with an unlocked bootloader + custom recovery.

LOL! Yea I uninstalled this crapware too. What really made me mad was the crap Sprint ID added today. Fortunately I had just read what Sprint ID is. Or else I woulda thought my default profile was gone. Changed it back in the app and deleted the crapware that added too. Today I hate you Sprint. It is my phone not yours. Ugh.

Yes /system is still write protected. Most ROMs will have all this bloatware removed.
Also unlock bootloader, then root and use your favorite app to freeze them until then.

You don't need to uninstall it to remove it from the browser. Go to Settings>Application Manager>All or Downloaded (I forget)> then disable the app. Voila!

SuperSU already installed

Anyone know why SuperSU is already installed on my Moto X PE? Came from the factory like that.

From Motomaker? Sounds fishy. I added a screenshot so you can see it. It doesn't appear in the app drawer, only as a system app, so it's not really rooted. Just the app is installed.

People do send back motomaker phones... What do you think motorola does with them? Again, I'd call them. SuperSU most definitely should not be preinstalled.

Sells them as refurbs, since you can't (legally) sell a phone as new if it's been in the hands of an end user.

I think the app auto installed when you logged into your google account.

Don't forget Motorola is a Chinese company now, and there is no illegal thing there. Everything is legal.:laugh:

Did it come with Kit Kat or Lollipop out of the box? I got mine yesterday and it was still Kit Kat and a friend got his Monday, also Kit Kat. Both MotoMaker Pure Editions.

It came with KitKat out of the box. It also auto update itself after a factory reset. I don't care that it's there, I just thought it was strange. I went ahead and rooted it anyway, so it doesn't matter anymore.

I agree. I factory reset my device and SuperSU pro was installed from the play store during app refresh on a non rooted phone.

The place where he posted the screenshot from does not just show system apps. OP, are you able to uninstall the app through Settings -> Apps? That would tell you if it was installed as a system app or not.

No I was not. The uninstall option was not available. That's how I knew it was a system app.

Well, my concern then would be what someone could have done with root access. In theory they could have installed other applications, like potentially a keylogger.
I personally would get a replacement if my phone was really rooted when I received it.

I never said it was rooted, only that SuperSU was already installed. Anyone can install SuperSU from the Play Store, but it's useless without the SuperSU binary that goes along with it. I just thought it was an intersting find.

Not as a system app they can't. The phone either had to have been rooted at some point or it was flashed from a custom recovery. You can't install an app from the play store as a system app without root.

Right, this is what I meant. If it's installed as a system app then it is clear evidence that someone modified the system partition on your phone. That would concern me, personally.

Oh yeah good point... I hadn't thought about that. Now I am worried. I did perform a full reset, perhaps I should do a system wipe and reflash the stock img?

Yeah... it hadn't bothered me until this point. I'll be contacting Motorola today. Might be moot now since I'm legitimately rooted and unlocked, but I do still have a warranty.

[Q] Rooted. What should I disable?

So just rooted using pingpong and am wondering if you guys can tell me which apps and services to uninstall or disable. Thanks.

why would you root your phone if you didnt have some specific reasons to?

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.

Sprint bloat.

Does someone have a list of Sprint's bloat ware, mainly ones that don't use the words Sprint in the app or process that I might have missed from disabling?

anything labeled sprint you can long press on and uninstall, or within apps. if it doesn't have an uninstall option, ignore it.

Hi, thanks. I'd already on the same day of receiving the Sprint bloatware deleted all the apps that I could via uninstall. However, I'd like to know which other apps can be safely disabled, and more importantly are there any services or packages that don't use the words "Sprint" that may not be immediately visible to disable.

look in apps, do you see anything called sprint app pack or appcloud NOT SAMSUNG CLOUD. do you see appstack in apps. rid app pack or appstack. thats a good point to relax after that. do not DISABLE any other sprint app that only has disable or enable. also lookout can be disabled along with fb instagram and messenger. NOT the message app.

These are all packages and process with the word Sprint in them. Anything that doesn't have the word Sprint in them that I should be looking for.? I did see lookout bloat which I've already disabled.
