How to get rid of all the bloatware?

I'm looking for a simple way to get rid of all the extra bloatware. I don't mind if I have to root and flash a "custom stock rom" to do so. I want to remain stock as possible what is the best solution for this?
BTW I already unlocked my phone don't know if that's going to be an issue.
Thank you XDA.

Clean rom for the win but any rom will do.

Have you gone in to the application settings and disabled the apps that you don't want to run? You can disable several of them there.

Yes, you can go to settings>application manager then tap on an application then click disable.
Only issues is that it still on you phone taking up precious space with useless crap. Custom ROM has many benefits:
1. No bloat
2. Multi-window (with any app)
3. WiFi tether
4. Many more useful toggles in notification area
5. Improved battery life

Root uninstaller. Works great

you can root your phone and install any custom rom. And custom whatever you like

I don't want to use a rom. I want to be most stock as possible.

Then do what "Osu777' mentioned above if you want to remain stock... use the "disable" function in the application manager.

Then you should wait for the Att OTA. Tmobile OTA is due 12/19/12. ATT should follow within the next 2 years. Att can be a little slow.

I've been using SAUROM rom for 2 weeks now and loving it!

[Q]Do you have the option to disable stock browser?

Hey guys. Was wondering if anyone who is running stock NOT rooted has the option to disable the Samsung stock browser in the settings application manager. Thanks!
I'm able to disable mine but I'm running a custom ROM with a tweaked stock browser. Need input on stock ROM not rooted. Thanks!

install a different browser, like nova, or you have to be rooted, and freeze it.

Yeah whats up with that other guys post? lol...
Anyhow, thanks elflip88. Thats what i was running too and i am able to disable it. But i am asking because the developer of light flow is absolutely thrilled to know i have fixed this issue that he has been trying to fix for months. But the only way to implement this fix is by either deleting the stock browser or flashing it through recovery.
I am working on modding the apk further to allow for a regular install without root. That way people who aren't rooted can still benefit. However, if one is not able to disable the stock browser, and they install my modded one, they will have two "internets" in their app drawer xD So im hoping stock system allows one to disable the browser.

Im stock not rooted and I can't disable it. It shows the disable button but I can't click it

Im really curious as to why they will be sticking with 3 versions of JB. They have never done that before.

idk, cant complain much. although it would be cool if there were some new features, besides camera ui..

Can someone please answer this question. This might be dumb but being so how we flashed the google edition rom on our phone yesterday can i flash this as well on my phone? Thank you so much!!
Sent from my GT-I9505G using xda app-developers app

I think they're still calling this JB because the only new feature besides the camera is bluetooth low energy, I'm sure there's got to be code optimizations and other small things, but those are apparently the only new things.

Guys, this works pretty decently, at least from what I have used thus far. One big change in this from the GE 4.2.2.... no TW guts.... Kiesexe in system/app is gone, and there is no TW framework in system/framework. This is pure'er' than the previous GE build

NFL mobile on rooted devices

I figured I would start a thread on this. NFL mobile is no longer working on rooted devices. Disabling root and hide my root are not working for me to get it working (stocked rooted md4 and moar).
Reverting does work still so here is the previous version:

Any other ideas?

Does your device show NORMAL under STATUS>DEVICE STATUS? I have TPR modded to set status back to NORMAL. NFL app just updated and still works fine.

Updated app doesn't work for me either. Not that it matters espn.com shows all the same info. Now of it was the streaming verison like Verizon, I'd be singing a different tune.
Running most up to date MOAR and device shows normal in the menu.

Yes that is really weird. I saw the notice that the app updated and figured it would be dead, but it came right up with no issue.

Can someone post the updated app? Please. I want to see of it works for me. And how do you get it to work if its for Verizon only?
EDIT: So I thought this was NFL Mobile that is exclusive to Verizon. Not the Game center thing.

Ha so sure enough, I flashed TPR this morning and downloaded the NFL app and it came right up for me. Very strange!!
however looking at the app, it says NFL Mobile from Verizon? Not sure if they all do but it's the same app in the market. I don't have a non-rooted phone to compare it with lol.

It's there a flash able zip that changes status on phone from modified to normal ?

The modified status doesn't seem to be the issue as my moar ROM is set as normal. I'm assuming something else deeper in the ROM.

Apparently not so inexplicably...lol. Now if someone can find out what the app is looking for (logcat?) and why TPR is working someone can make a bypass of the root check. I am pretty sure MOAR uses Supersu like TPR and not Superuser, so it is not that.

For those interested, viperfx causes the Google play services crash while trying to use this. I un installed viper and can now cast the screen with no issues. Im running sphinx v 1.6 for the e980.

It now works on CM11 with MirrorEnable V3.

Still can't get it...
I'm not very proficient at working with a rooted phone as I've only just gotten root access (which took awhile). I'm running a stock ATT kitkat (did I say that right?) and cannot get the cast option in my Chromecast. I've done the following:
Installed SQLite;
Installed the most recent version of Chromecast;
Installed the most recent version of the mirror enabler (v5), and enabled mirroring;
Rebooted after the install of each.
Don't know what else to try.
Thanks.

Use version 1 or 2
