Also changed the boot animation, I couldn't stand that Verizon one.

Its rooted and has busybox installed.

It should be noted, that these do not flash a kernel. When we get access to our boot partition, you'll need to flash a stock boot.img if you came from an AOSP-based rom. (Stock boot.img flashable via odin here (flash in PDA slot): http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/stock.kernel.tar )

CWM: zip
ODIN (unzip this first, flash in PDA slot): tar.md5.zip

Zip of the removed APK's (not flashable, you'll have to manually push these): zip
^^ make sure when adding these if they have an associated odex file that you add that too

EXTRA CREDIT:
flashable stock android apps (from cm9) (will remove their touchwiz counterpart): http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/stock.android.apps/

Does this have the notification area toggles removed? I'd much rather use a third-party app for that...

There are a few things on the list of apk's that I'd want to keep. Would it be safe for me to delete the ones on your list in Root Explorer though?

Also I swapped out the messaging app to CM9 version and email app to stock ICS already. Hated the Touchwiz versions.

clearly....... this rom is rooted..........

You misunderstand...

This process does not PREVENT root, it silently checks in the background to see IF the user is rooted. If so, the process supposedly phones this data to Samsung's servers so that they know who is rooted or not.

I'm asking to see if this process has been disabled or not since it can still exist on a rooter ROM.

Really???

I mean, I can understand if a thread is 600 pages long, you aren't going to read them all. But really? Look, 48 pixels above your post.

My bad man...I refreshed the page right before I posted, so it must have showed up while I was typing mine.

Anyway - thanks for updating the op.

Is this as simple as swapping out apks? What CM9 messaging apk did you use? Did you have to mess with APNs at all?

Sorry for all the questions but I hate the stock messaging app. I've already deleted the email app and use Enhanced Email.

Thanks!

Yeah it was simple. Got the apk here. In Root Explorer, I just renamed the secmessaging.apk to secmessaging.apk.bak and then copied/pasted the Mms.apk into system/apps then changed the permissions, rebooted, done. It kept the current texts too and I tested sending/receiving sms & mms already.

flashable zips are at the bottom of the op to accomplish these tasks

So, my understanding is...

1. I need to root and install CWM recovery first.

2. The CWM version and the ODIN version are the same thing, just one is designed for flashing with CWM and the other is for flashing through ODIN? So you pick one or the other? Is flashing through CWM the same process as on other phones? Put on SD card, select the CWM file, and flash it?

3. The zip of removed APK's is just in case we want them back? Otherwise, you don't have to download/install them?

4. After flashing CWM version, I can just flash the gapps and I'll be good to go?

2. yes, yes, yes, yes

3. correct

4. don't need to manually install gapps, they are included since they were in the stock rom

Touchwhiz music.zip also adds myfiles, I didnt know if it was a dependency or not. Plus I, and other probably need to use it for USB-OTG cables.

Yes, it phones home.

    Really???
