How to remove bloatware?

---

Hi there,

I did the unrevoked root yesterday and wanted to know how I can start wiping off the bloatware such as amazon mp3, peep, stocks, etc..

Also what is footprints and why is it always running? ( yes I have it set on auto kill)

Thanks for any help!

Not sure about removing bloatware (I'd assume its similar to other Androids through adb, but I don't want to go poking around in mine yet to find out). As for Footprints, it's an app that allows you to geotag photos. Not sure why it is constantly running though, do you have any kind photo widget active as well?

You don't. The Evo has NAND protection and will restore them.

Why do people think Amazon MP3 is bloatware? For that matter, why do people think Peep is bloatware, when they just turn right around and install some other Twitter client?

It may not be YOUR cup of tea, but it works for plenty of people.

I know, I know... "I don't want it, therefore it must be bloatware, even though it's not taking up any space I could use for anything else."

Who cares why people think its bloatware..why do some people harass others when their opinion doesn't match their own?

thanks

To me it's bloatware because I don't use it and didn't ask for it. It's like having ask.com wanting to be installed with everything you download. I have no reason to use amazon mp3 and have zero use for twitter. But it's always running in the background. I need to set it to auto kill. If it wasn't there in the first place I wouldn't have to.

Nope I am running no widgets. But when I run task manager to see what is running it always shows as footprints running. Along with amazonmp3 peep and a couple other things that I am never using.

I don't mind if it's on the phone(so much space that it doesn't bother me), I mind that it's ALWAYS RUNNING.

I just checked on mine and you're right, I have Footprints and Stocks running in Task Manager. Not sure why they are coming up, maybe somebody else can chime in?

From what I can tell it doesn't use a lot of resources, so it may not be an issue aside from annoying you :/

i used RegawMOD toolbox for most of them and sdk for the rest
