BTW my phone has vodafone branded rom with annoying apps like chaton/some stupid store/all share and some other BS that I dont want. Cant get rid off them.

Will the JB update remove all this nonsense as im on 3 now.

Doubtful. I have the unlocked International phone and it has all that so it is not network bloat:

ChatOn - Samsung Chat app used in China/Korea (
Samsung Store - what it says, sometimes they have free apps but TBH it is naff
AllShare - Similar to iCloud.

I just disable everything like this with Titanium Backup. If the phone runs fine for a week or so then I sometimes uninstall the items with TB as well.

I would not uninstall them completely, say you update the ROM then those uninstalled apps will get installed again and you'd have to repeat the process.

However! If you freeze them in TB then when you update the ROM, the frozen apps remain frozen so you don't have to faff about with anything, just sit back and enjoy the new ROM update.

mrk · 11 Oct 2012 at 09:16

Anywhere!

Just Wanamlite it then update when the ROM updates to the final JB

I was looking at the site for that rom a few days ago but got confused with all the talk of addons and kernels for it so that sort of put me off.

mrk · 11 Oct 2012 at 09:19

Ignore everything else, people on XDA like to talk a lot of complex stuff even though it's not needed

1: Flash Wanamlite 3.7
2: Flash Stock toggles (linked in Wanam thread)
3: Flash JB Domination 1.3.5 or whatever the latest is to get stock JB look and feel
4: Flash the JB Domination addon, 15 toggles (linked in JB Domination thread, 3rd post IIRC)
5: ????
6: Profit

Cheers for that Robbie, I am doing it now

1 question - Does Wanamlite have the Samsung stock notification sounds as well or do I need to download the stock sounds from his site (I like dew drop for email etc)?

mrk · 11 Oct 2012 at 09:47

I am not sure, the first thing I do is delete all stock sounds and use my own!

You could just download them anyway and extract using 7zip as needed I guess.

Cant stand the Samsung noises, it's funny how people differ, I can just about stand the bottle opener noise!

All of my phones are always just set to vibrate, that solves any of those problems

Only a handful of ROMs use AROMA installer.

Richie · 11 Oct 2012 at 12:01

You can, if you feel like it, just delete the APK's from the downloaded zip file before flashing as well....

I understand the first two points - doing the wana rom and the toggles. What is JB Damnation? (I am at work atm so can't check). Ta!

It's a theme, and totally optional.
If you don't want to flash the theme then you don't need to flash the stock toggles either

That's what I mean by faff though each time. Just fereze once, never worry about it again.

Oh JB Domination and 15 toggles are the themes that make it look and feel like stock Jelly Bean unless you prefer the stock Samsung icons and colours

Is there any way of getting the stock Galaxy Nexus browser on my S3 without having to root?

Nexus18 · 11 Oct 2012 at 12:32

Just install quick ICS browser, pretty much stock but with more features and tweaks.
