Hi,

Can anyone comment on the amount of bloatware on the Bell and Virgin (Canada) Samsung Galaxy S 2?

I'd like to pick one up and unlock it so I want to know which one has less bloatware so I don't have to root it and get rid of it all.

Thanks!
 
I don't think its bad with Bell.. but.. I am annoyed that I have to root the phone in order to get rid of some of their icons.
 
The bell and virgin phones are the exact same. On Virgin, I have Bell bloatware (Bell owns Virgin in Canada). There is no difference.
 
I am also with Bell...which of the applications are put on our devices from Bell? There only seems to be a few from what I can tell?

Remote PVR
Self Serve
SIM Services
Tunes & Apps
TV & Radio

...did i miss any ?
 
How do you remove the bloatware I have rooted my phone do I download an app? I want to install litening but it seems there are bugs such as continous boot loop and it deletes all apps/contacts right? I backed them up using cwm but i'm still not sure:S
 
I froze them with Titanium Backup after I was rooted. That way you can un-freeze them should something happen and you need to re-enable them.
 
The only app i use (even though it's slow and doesn't always work correctly) is the
Self Serve to track my usage
