Thanks rainfreak The EULA for the Samsung update software had this in it "I understand that all 3rd party applications will be deleted and back up all of my data before proceeding with the upgrade." and I wanted to make sure.

Hold on, are you installing the official CL14 update from Sprint? If so, as far as I know, it will wipe your phone and you will lose all apps and customizations.

Oh no I installed one of Zefie's Kernels, 14.3 to be exact. The app in the tutorial is the one they use for the Sprint CL14 which is why the EULA is there. No worries it worked like a champ. I didn't lose any of my apps and I've already removed the Sprint crapware. Great tutorial. Just one last question about the app removal part of the tutorial, hopefully I didn't miss it somewhere in the thread. Whenever I get done removing my apps, I try to set the system back to read-only by typing the "remount ro" but it tells me "mount: Device or resource busy". The "remount rw" works all of the time but the "remount ro" does not work for me. If I reboot my phone and run the command it works. Also I tried the longer version of the command from Rain's tut and it gave me the same error. Any ideas?

Good deal, I am glad that it worked out for you.
