I want to remove the crap bloatware that TMO installed on this device. I know I can't delete it using the application manager, but it seems I can move it to an SD card perhaps?
Do I need to be root or super-user to delete the files or will I just have to wait until there are ROMs available?

I usually use titanium backup to remove bloat but that requires roooooot

If you are using the touchwiz interface all you can do for now is create a folder and throw all the apps in there and pretend it doesnt exist.....until root.

I am running Synergy, and I installed a new SD card, partitioned per how to. No backups from 2.2 RLS5. Where can I get the Stock Sprint apps from? I use Nascar and telenav every week. My kids mess with Sprint TV. Help please.

They should be on your sd card in a synergy folder, just mount r/w and copy to the system folder
Found them, thanks. They wont install.

Again, you dont install them, you move them to the system folder via adb or root explorer.

get app rom toolbox- go to root browser- try deleting file(s) first-
if that doesnt do the job- remove permissions- read, write execute from game(s). then reboot- This is not a guaranteed fix- But it should work. hope it helps.
Use titanium backup to uninstall the APKs.
is there any way to give stock file manager root access so I can copy/paste .apk, delete some old backups I did from CWM ect.
I know there is a bunch of file managers on the GPlay but i like the smooth and simplicity of the stock one.
thanks
Nope.

I always have some things I get rid of with titanium backup after I install a new ROM. I heard you can debloat a ROM before installation. How do I do this? Is it just unzipping, deleting apk's, and rezipping or is there more to it?

You can just open it and delete without even unzipping, the apps are in /system/app, or just go in with a root browser app afterwards.

Is it possible to root the device, make what modifications you need to then remove root as there a few apps I have that won't work if I'm rooted yet I'd like to make a few mods but that would require rooting.

No, because every time you start a root app it will ask for root permission. What are the apps that won't work while rooted? I haven't ran into any yet my self.

A Root App ask only first start for root permissions.
A Root App won´t work with all functions without root permission
I suppose it's possible to make modifications to the system with root and maintaining hem after removing root, but that would have to be a one time modification.

It would not be possible for you to access any root app and access them after unroot as it will request permissions from Super Su and more over if you try and access it would either crash or give you an error saying you donjt have root access.
For example I want to modify the standard keyboard so the symbols show on the keys but you need to root to do this yet if I root, Sky Go won't work so I'm wondering if I could root, modify the keyboard then unroot so Sky Go still works but the keyboards mod still works
