Sorry for a noob question I am coming from the DX then Rezound. I have rooted the GS3 already but how do you flash ROMS in ODIN? Do you use the PID area again? What is each area for in there? Thanks

You have a bunch of needed files that you have removed that alot of users will want.... not having SSO secure sign on will screw up alot of things. you have also removed all share stuff which will retard all DLNA services. You have also crippled all verizon wireless services that will affect updates and services. You have removed VPN for business users and you have destroyed the sound equalizer by removing music fx.

I would advise people to not install this rom as it will cause extreme issues for the average user as it is missing more than 20 files necessary for proper functionality of the phone.

To the OP, I do understand your intent to debloat the phone but you have gone a little to far with it. 90% of the people who install this will not be happy and they won't understand what they are missing and why certain things are happening.

I would advise you to remove this rom. It will only cause problems

I feel the same way. You have done many great things for us Verizon uses the past few days. But I must agree with the quoted poster. It's like you used oven cleaner on this thing. It only needs a toothbrush and some mild soapy water.
Thanks for your continued effort though. We all appreciate it.

Thread title says "Stripped" not debloated. its for people to take and add back in whatever they want if they so choose. I for one can appreciate the relatively small file size.

Anybody who has an issue with this is welcome to make their own rom or manually take out the things they don't or need.

I would defintitely consider myself an average user. I've had a few days to play with the phone. Until flashing this ROM my battery life was mediocre (no surprise). After flashing this ROM my discharge velocity has dropped to 3.3%/h and it says I have 25 hours left. This is a significant improvement. I haven't played around much since I flashed this to even notice what I'm "missing". Flash this ROM. Test it out-add stuff back. I'm pretty sure you can always go back to stock. I was already familiar with Odin but this whole process finally forced me to learn adb. So I am very thankful for all of the hard work. It's been fun to learn new things.

Remove Wifi Popup/notification?

First off, thanks for doing all this work for this phone so early. I remember you from the Incredible, although im more of a lurker :p.

Anyway I was wondering if this ROM removed that ongoing notification or that pop up that comes sometimes asking you to connect to wifi

    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/

    What exactly did you strip out? All that S-Voice bloatware etc?

    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.

    Then dont flash it. He worked hard on this and got it up for us.
    Thanks for the rom op

    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?


    1. yes, but you can use the odin image to accomplish this. it will flash this rom and root you all in one step

    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
