You need to be rooted. Then download titanium backup, free version will do, and use that to delete bloat. Be careful what you delete though..

^ what he said except I'd go with titanium pro so you can just freeze em oppose to straight deleting them... That way there's no chance on deleting something you actually needed

You could just freeze it... because it really doesn't do any harm anyway. It is just a widget really. Unless you are using it, it basically isn't even there.
I just saw this app using titanium backup. It can remove it.

It's no longer available since it pushes ads/spam until you give it a 5 star rating.

Then you might want to give titanium backup products a shot it works great if you want to spend the $6 on it, it is a great app

App Quarantine is a free option and it's adfree
I think the best way to get rid of bloat is to root your phone and installing a custom ROM without all the bloat.
I put off rooting my phone thinking it'd be too complicated or scary, I didn't want to brick my phone but there are great YouTube videos on it.
Then flash a custom ROM (more YouTube videos). I've tried the Mohkg, Zombie, Bombaridier, and Juggernaut ROMs. I like BeastMOD and am trying Paradox right now.
I'm using Root Freezer Pro and it works like a charm.

Agreed. Titanium Backup is well worth the money.
HERE is a spreadsheet that lists whats safe to remove, what they do, and whats not. Knock yourself out.
script
I one of the forums there is a script by playya to remove bloatware. Does anyone know if it is only for custom ROMS, or whether one can flash it on stock ROM. Noob status does not let me ask the question in the apps/dev forum.

Bloatware

I'm going to be rooting mine and my girlfriends phone in the next few days. I wanted to see about removing the Bloatware on the phones once they are rooted. Is there anything special I need to download to be able to remove them? I have most of them disabled but would like to totally get rid if them. I searched all over for an answer but was unable to find one.
Thanks in advance.

Titanium backup. Just download it from the play store and that will do the trick. Search the forum to see which apps are safe to remove tho.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Titanium backup. It allows you to uninstall anything. If you are not sure about a program, you can freeze it, which will not allow the program to run, then if no problems occur it can be uninstalled. if you search, you can find an ongoing list of programs safe to delete
Thank you guys, I ended up getting the pro version and will search for that list of apps you talkrd about and go from there.

you can try getting a stock rom that's been cleaned of bloatware?
Thanks, I didn't know I could do that with tb gonna try it

You can't do that with TB. Find these bloatware-free ROMs in the android dev forum.

[Q] Why wont Google Play Store Restore my apps??

i was just wondering if anyone knows why google play store doesnt restore any of my apps after i do a clean wipe and and flash a new rom. it used to start re-downloading them immediately on the first boot up after i signed in on my G2X when using a CM based ROM. and does any know of a free and reliable way to batch restore apps???
I wonder this my self... But I use titanium backup it has its bugs sometimes but it works fine for me

Well I was hoping there was a free legal way to get it.... like taking a offer or a survey. Kinda like how akinator lite offer akinator pro to people who like their Facebook page or tell a certain amount of people about the app.... free doesn't always mean steal. Remember that

Did you leave the box checked that said sync with Google (OE something like that on the first boot)
And as far as tb goes give app to zip a try. Its a great app, and there is a free version that will do all you need. And the pro version is less than three dollars

LOL I love starting my morning with a good chuckle
I guess that it only working when an official ROM is installed. I tried more than 4 custom ROMs and all cannot get my apps back

Saving my apps to an sd card works for me. I also tend to modify roms via the android kitchen and while at it, place a few apps I need accessible prior to flashing (root explorer, etc).
Well, I've noticed that they don't restore all the time unless you use the same ROM. But even a stock rim misses the occasional app. Titanium Backup works great for me.

Remove your Google account, and just add it back for auto restore to work again.

Just a kick because if your apps don't start to auto restore and you want them to, simply go to Settings, Remove your Google account, and just add it back. Worked for me.
