how? do i need to root the phone? or is there a way to do it without? i don't really use the preinstalled at&t stuff and i'd like to have it gone.
You have to root. Then you have 2 options. Install titanium backup and freeze or uninstall all the att bloatware.
Or
Find an awesome rom and follow instructions on how to flash it. The custom roms have all the bloatware crap removed.

I was wondering if there is a way to uninstall some of the apps which come with the device. Spacifically I would like to remove amazon mp3 sevice, city id and skype. I bet there are more but that's all I remember now.

Ok first things first. Pre-installed apps are know as Bloatware. To remove bloatware root your phone. And download an app from the market called titanium backup and uninstall from their. Should be fairly easy.

Or you can use root explorer.

I would like someone to please point out where i can get just a stock rooted , clean of att navigator and crap, and new att radio . No other addons you know
Like stock but everything a custom rom can do is this possible is it out there
Try ClearDroid. It's basically the stock Inspire ROM with as much of AT&T removed as possible.
Is this pretty stable

This is stock with hsupa, sideloading enabled. I've been using quite a while with no issues.

After loading this rom, load Titanium backup to remove the bloat.

I don't understand the question. You have a goal of removing bloat, but you don't know what the bloat apps are?
The bloat I removed:
all at&t apps
blockbuster
asphalt 5
yellowpages
You can use Titanium backup to first "freeze" the bloat. That way you can tell if removing them will harm the phone's functioning. If you freeze an app and your phone works ok, then you can go ahead and fully delete it.
You answered my question sorry auto correct slaughtered what I was typing thanks

Can someone explain to me how to run the bloat remover included in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748&highlight=bloat
on a G2x. I've already installed the ROM and just need to figure out how to remove all the T-Mobile stuff. Thanks in advance
Do a search for. Bloater *Root* or browse the app section for a thread called Bloated G2x edition, it works great and IMO is going to be safer than a flashable zip to remove bloat, save for wifi calling.

I use Antek app manager its free and you can freeze all the apps you don't want simple to use
Pin it to Win it.

Use Romanbb's bloater app, it can be found under the Apps/Themes section of the G2x forum.
Just got my S3 today.
Rooted it when I walked in the door.
I'm not new at all to rooting but I was wondering if using ROM toolbox was safe to use for removing Verizon's bloat from the stock ROM.
I'm trying to just stay stock here...

I run rom toolbox on mine and I have used it to remove apps. I use andybones rom and they are all gone anyway. I really don't remember if it can remove all the bloat or not.

I know for a fact that Titanium Backup works, used it the other day. I can't think of any reason Rom Toolbox wouldn't though
I just used Rom Toolbox to uninstall a system apk. (Only a wallpaper apk) bit o it worked. I usually use TiBu.

Does anyone know if someone has posted the stock 4.1.2 OTA ROM without the bloat? Or should I do this?

I can't flash a recovery. What are some cool things I can do with the phone on just root. Any apps I should definitely download?

You can get rid of all the bloatware that comes pre installed on the phone. You can enable certain features that are built into the code but not in use by stock. You can Flash custom Roms, themes, boot animations, and kernels. You also can install ad blockers to banish those annoying ads and just overall take back control of YOUR phone. There are 2 apps I always use (titanium backup and root explorer). There are other free apps out there like root explorer but I am so used to the app and love the features I wouldn't give it up. Also maybe look into apps like rom toolbox or android tuner. They have a ton of useful features and help eliminate having a bunch of root apps.

Without a custom recovery he can't install other ROMs correct? Or can you still do it through Odin?

Safestrap allows custom rom flashing, 4.3 TouchWiz only though.
That is a custom recovery.

Right without recovery no custom roms but as bad user name said safe strap allows for this. He still can debloat the nonsense Verizon and Samsung apps.
