Help What files do I need to remove to delete the Bloatware?

Alright I'm wondering how I can do this on this phone? I mostly want to remove the Family thing and the Live TV. I'm already rooted and I want to use Astro file manager to remove the things manually..... just don't know which apps ya know?

As far as I know, you have to flash to a different ROM to lose all the bloatware. The only thing is that you won't get to pick which apps stay and what goes, so you would lose all of the bloatware including things like the Live TV app.

Hopefully I'm wrong and somecan knows of a way to remove only the apps you want to remove.
 
I don't think astro file manager works, but you can use File explorer or any file manager that has root access.

The apks are in the /system/app folder ... here's the bloatware

Asphalt5_HEP_HTC_ACE_ATT_ML_312.apk
ATT_code_Scanner_v1.0.35.apk
ATT_Navigator.apk
Blockbuster_htc.apk
AdobeReader.apk
com.mpbitv.client.tv.apk
FamilyMapWapLauncher.apk
myATTPL_aligned.apk
Quickoffice.apk
YP_Android_WVGA.apk
 
You can use titanium backup if you need a gui, Root explorer is a way also, you can even do it with terminal emulator ;)

Thanks for the list, I had already done mine using File Manager, but missed "YP_AndroidWVGA.apk.

That's what I get for being in a rush and not double checking :)

Cheers
