It should look something like this: Just tap 'Uninstall updates'

Pretty sure there is a law that the tyres you fit to a car must have a speed rating matching or exceeding the top speed of the vehicle.

You're making it sound like 512 GB are cheap and readily available.

Thread title aside CM is such a massively better experience than the stock LG software on the G3 that it isn't even funny. Much better performance, almost double the battery life and a UI that doesn't suck Camera performance is a lot worse but really it's a small price to pay for an actual usable phone

RVProfootballer posted:I feel like we've gotten pretty far from any kind of point about anything, but if you're saying people use their phones and iPads because they don't have root/administrator access, or something like that, then that's a weird stance to take imo. Of all the differences between a smartphone and a desktop computer, you think that is the determining factor in why someone uses their phone more than a desktop? That they're generally more consistent and more stable than a crammed-full-o-malware PC is a big part of it, and the more locked down nature of those devices is a big part of that.

Nintendo Kid posted:Why do you keep going on about something only a small minority of computers actually have to worry about? For all that people like to joke, most people manage to not get anything worse then the ask.com search bar, which ain't exactly a CPU hog or stability issue. I don't know about that - all I can give is anecdotes but it does appear to me that a lot more people have a lot more severe problems than you think

You'll have to dig into XDA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note Probably start in the general forum

Easier to switch to a plan that allows tethering than mucking about with root just for that

It's still a lot easier to switch plans. No doubt they'll cut you off eventually anyway.

What 'modern device's are you comparing it to? While my N7 still works it's painfully slow compared to my Nexus 6P and the Pixel is supposed to be much faster again.

#1 doesn't exist #2 is only viable for popular and (usually) relatively high end phones - as you've seen the only things available through ROM manager are generic add-ons, nothing specific to your device Really your only option is to dig through XDA

Also a lot of the 'bloatware' can be dealt with simply by hiding it in the launcher.

Read the thread title. Seriously it isn't worth mucking about with, just hide the apps you don't want to use.
