This is a quick little question. I haven't been able to find a ROM that was just a smooth minimal debloated ROM. X-Note is full of a tonne of crap I don't need and it doesn't look like someone has made a 'stock close to AOSP' ROM. No offense meant, they're just not for me. Anyone have any good news? I might have to make one then...
Use debloater on a normal stock ROM, or just flash Cyanogen. Cyanogen is as slim as your girlfriend in thirty saunas.

Try Jackyaway. I have a pretty decent battery life on it. I also remove the bloatwares using Note 3 Cleaner by CoOoL_BoY

Thanks guys, I did the same but I debloated manually. I think there'd be a place for an ASOP feeling ROM. Perhaps I'll make a pack or something in the future.
I would suggest flashing alexndrs Rom. I have manually debloated this, very heavily.. all with root explorer followed by a data wipe. Over 850mb free in system.

Cyanogenmod is very slim and has the potential to be great if they iron out the bugs.

Hello, mind to share it?
I am also trying to manually delete as much as possible.
All I need is the camera, the clock and the popup music player.
All other things could go, including the launcher as I have many paid apps for the several tasks.
I also do not use the pen.
Tried slim roms and debloater, also cm based ones but want to have the samsung base.
Thanks,
Best regards

Id rather not upload over 1gb, took me about an hour on the phone to get it set up like this, Trial and error.

Most of the time I also debloat manually but I give a try on the note 3 cleaner of cooolboy since most of the apps that can be debloat on his mod is just the same as my debloated apps.

How about before installing the custom rom that you will use, check the apps that will be installed on the zip file. Extract it first and check on the system/data. You can delete some apps but be sure you know what to delete.
debloating threads are really user unfriendly and have nearly no research on.
A lot of apps that are removed cause incompatibility with other apps. You can remove the non-sense My Magazine, and the built-in Email will go havoc, and you cant just offer an alternative mail client in that case.
If somebody slimmed down the stock firmwares, that would do a lot of ppl favours.

Hello, maybe you could just post the content of your system directories (file listings, especially app, priv-app and framework)?
Thanks,

How is this possible without manually typing out 175 - 200 apk names ? No way i have the patience for typing them all out haha.

I think the reason there are no "slim" roms is because you will lose some of the features that make the Note range unique. Touchwiz is vital to those features.
By going AOSP - it will basically be a big Nexus.

There are alternatives such as Papyrus instead of S-Note (I like it better). I think the only reasons this phone is unique is the Pen (works in CM) and the size. So, a slim ROM makes sense as there's a lot of crap that Samsung adds that is not very useful.
I am using this ROM, like the OP I wanted all that crap of my phone. So found this here. I'll let the thread speak for itself...
I'd love to have a ROM like that as well. It would be especially great if you could decide for yourself what you install. Basically I want it as slim as possible so that the OS itself runs without errors but I don't want basic stuff like email, calculator and all that stuff either because the stock apps are usually crap compared to apps from the play store. I use a different calendar, email, calculator, music player, video player... so I just want a clean base OS to build on without all that stuff I never use anyways.
That would be nice but some applications rely upon others so you cannot remove some stuff because other things won't work.
