I want to use an official Verizon stock ROM and still be able to take advantages of Root Access.
Because 4.1.2 was the last OTA update that can be be unlocked. I want to solicit help in Optimizing it.

(1)To get back to 4.1.2 I used the guide found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
(2)To Root the phone I used the guide found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066

I did get into some Windows driver issues between Casual and Odin but they were not to hard to resolved.

After rooting the FIRST thing I needed to do is stop the nag from Verizon that wants to force me into taking the next OTA update.

Using Titanium Backup to Freeze SDM 1.0 as suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112221, STOPPED the Nag from Verizon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: I'm Cool Now,
I have Flash Player right out of the Box.
FoxFi Hotspot is not making me set up a security pin number.
All Share Cast just works. MW Manager just works.
GPS is ALL GOOD

WHAT AM I MISSING?

Is there a list of modules I can install on the fully stock 4.1.2 Rooted?
