Since there is no alternative ROMs available, I searched forums and tried to remove some bloatware apps. Below are some apps that have been frozen or removed. These snaps were taken in Sep 2014, since then some apps may have been reactivated (Youtube etc.)

Just post it here to share. I assume no responsibility, please use Titanium to experiment and make backup.

Just so you know I found titanium backup to be unreliable for restoring previously uninstalled system apps. Most of the time it just says restoring but never finishes. Once I deleted the stock keyboard then I decided I wanted it back and I tried to restore it right before I went to bed. When I got up the next morning it still hadn't finished. Since storage space isn't a big issue with this phone I would recommend freezing/disabling apps instead, or copying them to a backup folder on your SD card before uninstalling them.

So it needed to be started, this list is not complete, hoping for help with it. Im not responsible for bricked devices, carpal tunnel, or trampoline accidents.

Always make a backup first.

I removed these successfully through Titanium Backup.
