Root Bloatware help

[icrazy2u]

So I've seen a couple ways to remove bloatware, just wondering has anyone used the Titanium Backup way to remove the bloatware?

thats one of the easiest ways to do it.

i did it that way, no problems here. took two minutes literally to remove the 7-8 apps i did not want on my phone.

May you tell me the ones that you removed. I'm scared I might delete one I need even though I already a nandroid backup.

Just downloaded Titanium Backup..... how does one use this method to get rid of bloatware?

When I select an app from the list, lets say Amazon MP3, I get a box that pops up that gives me an option to un-install and then a bit under that an option to delete. Which one do I select?

There's a whole thread about the app's that are "okay" to remove (as in, people have tried it already without any repercussions). So you may want to start there...

Uninstall.

FYI... Amazon MP3 is the one app that Titanium seems to have a problem with removing, and it seems to be pretty 50-50 on it working. For instance, it wouldn't remove on mine but it removed on my fianc

Thanks. I'm going to use Virtuous for a little and see how I like it since the apps are already removed on it.

One last question, if I deleted a app that I needed and can't find it, couldn't I just recover the whole Rom using nandroid and have them again? I'm just going to delete the ones I don't want and hope I don't need them again.

Thanks.

Another option to consider is to perhaps relocate those apps rather than removing them. Why? If you (or some app you may d/l in the future) may need or require elements of them, you'll still have them.

If you don't want to delete you can just move them to a diffrent folder. I used root explorer just in case if I ever want to go back and use one.
