Default Cricket Bloatware Removal Thread

Need a file browser like root explorer to gain access to these directories!!

/data/flex/app

coconut_cricket_prod
major league bowling Bloatware game
MBO2_kyocera_m6000
uno_demo_kyocera Bloatware Game
zio top apps Bloatware App

I am not sure what the other two apps are but I copied pasted this from the middle of a thread... and since its always being asked figured I would make it easy to find!!!

Anyother Bloatware thats removable without messing up the system can be posted here and I will edit this beginning post to include it

oh and if you know what those two are please let me know and I will add it in

You can remove the Cricket apps using Uninstaller for Root.

Mobile Web
MyAccount
MyBackup
Home Screen Tips
Cricket Store
Both demos
ZioTopApps

You can also remove the NuAnce voice control but I recommend backing the bloat on the SD card.

I meant whats the file names for the bloat apps...

I dont like uninstaler for root...way to easy to hose a phone as there's no confirmation... you click something on accident its gone.. which is going to lead to a ton of uninstaler/bricked phone threads

If you dont like Uninstaller for Root have fun deleting the bloat with something else. I only recommend it because it is alot easier to find MyBackup than it is to find something like coconut_cricket_prod_a2.0_v1.31_aligned.apk not only that but it lets you backup apks to sd card if you hold the app with a long tap

If you want to be brave you can find the apps in /data/FLEX/app/

It's a matter of preference. Both do the job. One is not better than the other. Anyone using either should know the risks.
