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..

S4 SCH-i545 Can't send messages on 4g

I recently switched carriers. From Verizon, I went to T-Mobile. As expected, I'm already having issues. I can RECEIVE texts, but cannot send them on 4G LTE (only when I unexpectedly get "H+"). I can also access the internet. I have contacted T-Mobile, but honestly, they don't seem to care about my issue. I already manually changed the APN. The only thing I can think of is that my phone is currently on Lollipop, which is not yet supported by T-Mobile. Could this be the root of all this? Any help would be appreciated.

kitkat nc5 schi545 w/ stagefright patch?

Hi, I'm rooted on nc5 / kitkst 4.4.2 and I would like to patch my phone avainst the stage fright vulnerability. Is there a rom I can upgrade too or a patch I can apply to do this? I have disabled stagefright in the build.prop but some are thinking this might be insufficient and I'd prefer to be patched. I dont like the 5.x builds, they disable the lockscreen audio controls.

[(rooted) Galaxy S4 verizon SCH-I545 5.0.1] switch custom recovery from CWM to TWRP

i recently rooted my Galaxy S4 verizon SCH-I545 5.0.1 My main reason for doing so is because i want to install CM12 (to improve battery and no bloatware) but need to back up my stock ROM before wiping anything, so i can restore if anything gets messed up but when i installed CWM via ROM manager app , i booted in recovery only to discover that i didn't have the option to back up my stock ROM...nothing that says "back up and restore" or anything remotely close...so after alot of reading a searching it looks like TWRP was the one that most suggested for my phone. My question is, can i just use Flashify and flash TWRP over the existing CWM?? will this mess anything up or brick my phone??? please help and excuse my ignorance
