Root Need help improving Rise for wifi only phone

Hello all!

Could someone please help me? I have successfully rooted my wife's K-Rise and am trying to make the thing not so bloated. All she uses it for is apps over Wi-Fi such as web browsing, some games, apps like "Viggle," and store apps such as Target.

Bottom line-she does not use it to place or receive phone calls, text messages, or anything a normal cell phone would be used for. It is only used as a Wi-Fi device-like a small PC, etc. (It is not even active-and will not be activated for phone use.

My question is, how can I improve it's performance? She doesn't want any of the Google bloat and the thing runs slow as heck.

Is there a way to free up all of the running google garbage so her other apps will run smoothly? If it was up to me I would strip all of the Google crap off of there but I do not know how to do this without turning it into a paperweight.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. I am slightly literate on this but only enough to be dangerous to my devices lol.

Thank you!
