[Q] Fixing issues on a Rooted "Stock" KF

I am new to the Kindle Fire, and recently rooted with Kindle Fire utility without a hitch. Many thanks to all the Dev's that put that together, great work. I am not new to rooting and customizing ROMs on Droid phones, but new to the "tablet" world.
However, after doing some searching, I am unable to find information on some things.
1) Google Market. Its running fine, but there are a ton of apps missing from the market (ie Facebook). I have seen some threads on how to fix this if I am on CM7, but was wondering if its possible to do this on a "stock" rooted KF?
2) Blocking updates. Is there an easy way to "block" Amazon from being able to push updates to the device? I know this has caused issues like losing root, etc.
3) Freezing Apps. Are there any "standard" apps or processes that can be frozen/removed from the Stock ROM that aren't needed? I haven't been able to find a definitive "list".
Thanks again,
-Sf-

Hey there.
Let me see. You can use "Titanium backup" to freeze stupid things like maps. I dont have mine anymore so i cant populate a list for you atm. You can try to update the "Market" app to resolve issues with missing apps. My advice: use stock rom,root it. And use a launcher like launcher pro. Then use setcpu.

1 - try the modaco rom - it shows to the market as galaxy tab:

Editing the build.prop file should fix market visibility. I just purchased and rooted mine last night but i'm also having the same issue. Going to try out this after work. Should do the trick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371021

Sounds good. I saw this post, but I haven't seen a build.prop for the stock rooted Kindle fire. If you get yours to work, please post it. Thanks!

I would like to stick with the stock rom, since hardware acceleration seems to be an issue with most of the custom roms. Do you know if Modaco supports hardware acceleration?

The only roms that have trouble with hardware acceleration are the ICS roms, all other roms have working HWA.
As far as I know the missing apps from the market can't be fixed if your on stock, even if you edit the build.prop, thats why I moved from stock to cm7.
I don't know if there is a way to completely block amazon updates, but I just froze silentupdate with titanium backup when I was stock and I never got the notification to move from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2.
The only app I know of that can freeze apps is titanium backup pro in the market, and there is no list of apps that can be removed/frozen on the stock rom, just use common sense when removing/freezing the apps, don't delete an app if you don't know exactly what it is or delete the kindle launcher, and then wonder why your homescreen is gone, and make sure to backup any apps you mess with.

modaco is a optimized 6.2.2 stock rom - you can update with it and loose nothing cause it don't format any partitions - read the op of modaco for more information ...

Thanks I will take a look at that. Thanks for the advice.

Looks like MoDaCo for the Kindle Fire was the way to go. My market is working great now, system is very fast, really impressed overall. Still retains the "stock" feel with a few tweak. Now I have to figure out if it doesn't get updates from Amazon.

look at my first post - the link in point 2
allthrough i think in modaco the file is allready removed it's better to check twice

There is a system app called OTA Silent Update and you can just delete it and your all good.

1. Go here.

2. Most of these ROMs are debloated, pick one, and flash it.

Not exactly, if he used the "script" part correctly. There's were a couple of scripts which remove a s**tload of bloatware when flashed in custom recovery, but really, REALLY faster way is custom ROM.
Maybe I shouldn't have responded at all, this is not the Q&A forum, nor the Exynos development forum (where most likely the script can be found), after all.

Here you go. Just extract the updater-script, add or remove apps that you don't want and put it back in the zip.

Hi
All safe to remove, But 1st freeze them with TB then reboot

[Debloat][Script][Custom-Rom/Stock] The Debloater - crush the bloatware!

wrote 2 simple scripts wich delete as many bloatware as possible without destabilize the system.
use with care, its your own fault if your phone is dead after use.
it should work on any Sony with any rom. Surely i can't prove rly any of them, so don't bother me if there are some apps still alive or the script is doing "to much", i wrote them like i would like to use, so be careful

I strongly recommend to use the scripts only on fresh installed roms, so no fc can occure and no "thrash" could be left.

Hello,
This looks like a very effective & easy to use patch! Everything is written, it's so simple. I'll try it for sure. Thank you for your good work!

Thanks for job , but very big list . Please make light version else . I recommend freeze apps at first ( in custom rom only freeze , not delete) . You can get unstable system . Imho.

Well, I tried it and I think it's a bit extreme... No home launcher and quick settings tile... You should make a light version indeed.

I use it for myself and tried it on every common known custom-rom. Never went unstable.

Home launcher should still work. And everything i can say is in the opener already. But i will take a look at.
A light version will follow

Light Versions are available!
Please let me know if there are problems.

Thanks for this...

The script doesn't affect anything what sim depends. could be something particular about dual edition. i dont know, sorry.

Update:
- New flashable scripts for Custom-Roms below Android 5
- Custom-Rom script for Android 5 and above got version 4

New Firmware - Old ROM

N910c user here with the latest 5.1.1 Firmware from SamMobile (N910CXXS2CPK1_N910COLB2COJ5_N910CXXU1COJ5).
Is it good/bad to flash an older ROM? A Custom ROM that based on an older firmware?
The device is currently on stock and rooted.
Mods: Please do delete/move this thread if there is a similar thread or wrong thread section.
Thanks!

Anyone?

Your questions are not easy to answer. It's all personal preference.
Some like ROMS that are as close to stock as possible, some like ROMs that are slim as possible, and don't have all the stock apps and want to install something else. Like a different messenger or launcher or email app.
Some like to have the latest and greatest on the phones or a Custom ROM that is based on another firmware. The problem there is most don't understand that the firmware was never built for their model of phone, so it won't always work right.

Oh... I see your point
Thanks for the answer!
By all means, I just want to debloat my stock n910c using a custom rom like SimplROM but it seems that I am out of the current release.

Just root, download titanium backup and remove all the bloat you dont want. No need to flash custom rom

oh yes I just did that. I just don't have a concrete list of freezable apps for Note 4 so I am leaning on pre-made ROM if possible. I think I'll just do it on my own. Thanks, by the way

SimplROM Lite is about as slim as you can get. SimplROM is pretty good. There's a lot more dependencies then there used to be.
Take is slow and keep doing backups. If something breaks you can go back and bypass what you removed and move on.

If you have a good look on here somebody has posted a list of all bloatware removed from stock rom just be very careful when freezing or removing any apps highlighted in red as they are all the system apps

Great replies! Thanks!
I'll be listing my Titanium Back-up freezed apps here on weekend
Then I'll iterate it for updates as I freeze apps and go on my usual usage

Note 4 6.01 stock rooted - what can I remove?

Hi!
I just rooted my stock Note 4 6.01 ... and I want to "clean" as much as possible.
What are the most obvious choices?
Thank you!

From my experience some things are connected to other ... and uninstalling things I think are not important might not be a good idea!
Has anyone made a "safe to remove" list? (assuming "normal usage" and not needing obscure features)

Because qkx suggested the removal of the bloatware, I want to share the experiences I made with removing bloatware:
I can say that removing all those "S-Apps" (e. g. S-Health and so on) will work fine - at least it worked completely fine for me. You might get some error messages popping up after you uninstalled bloatware apps, telling you that this and that stopped, but tap on "OK" once and they won't appear again most likely.
But I defenitely won't recommend removing Google apps like Google Books etc. After I did so, my phone started to get laggy and unresponsive.

Welcome to XDA, the search function works wonders. Here is a link to one, it has a list and a flashable script(s) http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/cwm-bloatware-removal-script-t3067501 . In my experience it is better to take the list then open the ROM that you want to flash and manually delete the files (most bloatware is in system/app and priv-app) that you don't want. After removing the files close the ROM and flash. This way you have a lightrom with only what you want. The list is only a guide, you may choose to keep features that the script creator did not want. There are more results in the search function you may want to read on the other results.

The list with the script are provided as a guideline. The creator makes it for his own use and kindly shares it. No one can make a script that suits your exact needs but you. Most of samsung bloatware is the same from 5.xx LP to 6.xx MM. Most ROMs are custom and some have been lighten pretty good even when they include S7/S8/N5/N8 features or apps. It will be up to you to get knowledgeable on what you don't need and remove it manually. Again if they are on the list of the scripts it is almost 100% it will not break anything. But as always make sure you have a backup of your ROM/files before you do anything with system files as a caution.GL
