best way to get rid of bloatware and unlock mobile hotspot in Galaxy S4 SCH-I545

I recently bought a Verizon S4 in the US and am using it back at home in latin america. I want to get rid of the verizon pre installed apps, the verizon bootscreen and be able to unlock the mobile hotspot option.

Right now I have the 5.0.1 Android version with the I545VRUGOF1 Build.

What would be the best way to go? flash it with other rom? in that case witch one would you recommend? I like lollipop if possible I would like to keep it but my main goal is to delete the bloatware and enable the mobile hotspot.

thanks..

[SAFE]Freezing Bloatware on Android Lollipop[GS4]

THE METHOD OF FREEZING/DISABLING THE BLOATWARE IS BY USING AN APP CALLED TITANIUM BACKUP. IT REQUIRES ROOT
SOME OF THE APPS MIGHT BE NEEDED IN YOUR DAILY LIFE SO CHECK BEFORE FREEZING THEM
THIS ALSO WORKS FOR ANY SAMSUNG DEVICE BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE GALAXY S4
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANY THING HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE. YOU CHOSED TO MAKE THE MODIFICATION BY YOURSELF. IF YOU BLAME ME, I WOULD JUST LAUGH AT YOU
ONCE AGAIN, THEY ARE ALL SAFE TO FREEZE:svetius:

Best custom ROM or eliminate bloatware and privacy?

I just purchased a used G3 (D852) and am in the process of setting it up.

From my research, I know it comes with a lot of bloatware and I wouldn't mind getting rid of it. I am also a fan of privacy, so I found a way to access the "Access Lock" feature (aka App Ops and similar to Privacy Guard)but I found that apps that come as bloatware, Facebook for example, don't appear in the "Access Lock" list, so I can't change permissions on them. It looks like mostly apps that have been installed from the Play Store can have their permissions changed by "Access Lock".

I prefer not to root my device, but if I had to, I would consider it.

If I installed a custom ROM, which ROM would give me the following?
-4K camera (preferably the stock LG camera app)
-Privacy Guard (or similar)
-Not rooted

I don't mind the stock ROM, but I would like to have permission control over all apps, specially Facebook and some of the Google apps. Also, I would like to get rid of the bloatware.

Does someone have a suggestion for me?

Thanks!

An interesting read for those ego complain about bloatware

I this article the author comparesmemory usage of the ZenFone 2 vs Samsung's latest:

Long story short, Asus' system is considerably less bloated.

Impossible to remove bloatware

Hi Guys,

I need help as strange thing is happening to my phone.

I have unlocked phone, installed TWRP recovery latest, rooted the phone. The phones has now superuser apk and I can work with superuser rights.

However when it comes to uninstall bloatware I go through Titanum back up and try to uninstall the bloatware. It is strange that it says there it is uninstalled but when I restart phone I find all apks in the phone. Indeed nothing has been removed.

Any idea why is that and how is possible this?

Thanks for any help.

I', on Lollipop, 4.16.401.13, unlocked, stock-rooted.

Regards,
