Default Now that im rooted.......

How do I remove the bloatware, I am looking for specific instructions. I know that I need to open cmd and get into shell, what do I type to remove them and which ones are ok to remove?

Thanks for any help relating to this.

Ok so open up your cmd window, navigate into your tools directory of the android sdk and then type: adb shell

Next: cd /system/app

Then: ls

Then: rm appname.apk

or just rename it from Appname.apk > appname.apk.bak just in case...

Code:
mv appname.apk appname.apk.bak
this will prevent it from being available on your device. It will save memory but still be in storage.

I just used root explorer and renamed some apps just in case. They are not in the drawer anymore so I would expect them to be gone
