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 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

There was a link floating around somewhere. I've got it bookmarked on my laptop but I have no access to it right now. :/ Just Google for safe to remove Samsung apps or similar. If not, I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction.

Debloating will not make your phone faster or yield a better battery life rather than just disabling apps in "All apps" section in Settings/Application
If you go under devlopment section and than search for dev Mohan, you will find that he has a stock, dexoxed,zipalign rom allready for you to flash via cwm or whatever recovery u have. This is the best method to debloat properly. Here is the link...

Just upgraded from the Infuse and HOLY CRAP what a difference. The Infuse, in some ways was really a misstep for Sammy. Hardware just didn't really work well. Anyway...
Looking through ROMs I was hoping to find a stock ICS where someone had pulled out the bloat. I didn't see it, but I may have missed it.
Thanks, and glad to have switched forums! Ha.

Agreed - it's a good ROM if you are looking for something close to stock with options. Only a few small issues of stability so far.
Root the stock ROM then debloat (disable apps first) yourself
would agree about embryo. stock, debloated.. unless you choose to add it. he built in a nice rom customizer as well. personally, didnt have any problems with it.

Just root and install Titanium Backup. There should be a freeze list in one of the stickies. You do not have to install a different rom at all.
I recommend that you just freeze the apps. If you uninstall them, you will have to reflash your phone with the stock rom if you want to send to Sammy or take it back to AT&T...
You can also just make a complete TiBU of the entire phone and save on your computer then restore them when you want to get rid of the phone in a legit way...

No need for a titanium backup or anything...I just disable an app (like yahoo finance or whatever crap) from all apps section in settings ..then I delete the .apk file from /system/app (and the .odex if the rom is not deodexed)..After any debloat you will have to flash the whole stock rom anyway if you get a big system problem (or restore a nandroid if you made a backup .. Which I hugely advice to do before messing with the phone)
Good Morning,

I kinda like Splanner app of Samsung and a few more apps. Thats the only reason i went back to stock after the cyanogen10 rom. (also the inability to do video calls was a downer for C10). Is it possible to remove the apps post installation after rooting the tab?

Yeah use tibu to freeze or delete what you want.

I flashed cleanrom it ran horribly, I flashed another stock rom with no bloat, I keep getting messages on my gallery, can't open up youtube, trying to watch a tv show sample hard locks the device. I'm just going to put the stock rom on can anybody point me in the right direction with a stock rooted rom with nothing else. Thank you

Scroslers is the most stock you're going to get. It's a good option, but he should look through all of them. They're all fantastic roms.

That I don't know, I haven't tested any of them.
They should be included in the main page description or I would search each thread individually for an answer to that.

No idea.
It's probably an issue with your Google account. I would try erasing it completely and re-adding it. You could also try flashing a custom playstore or installing a different one to see if you can fix the problem.
It isn't rom related.

Did you find one that does? I've just traded for a gs3 that already had taken the 4.3 OTA. I did get root using Saferoot but I can't get wireless tether app to work. I've searched for 3 days and can't find how to make it work. TIA

yeah bro. foxfi wireless tether works.
there is a free version and a paid version though.
there are 2 annoying things.
1 it's not free
2 it forces you to "lock" your phone with a password/pattern/or pin number.
So are any AOSP roms supported with safestrap? I'm looking at the download list and it's just modified TW roms.
My brother took the OTA, but is now interested in switching to AOSP and I wanted to make sure it was even possible.

If you read the description it tells of a way to keep certificate without the lock protection. I can verify that it works.
