I don't want to root. My phone works just fine as is, except for having extra unused and unwanted apps.
Is there some way to remove them without rooting???
unrooted, there are only a few bloatware apps, like the at&t code scanner, that you can delete. i think there were about 4 total.
you have to go one by one.
also, you can delete/strip off the pre-installed data and updates of some of the pre-installed apps, like google books, facebook, at&t featured apps and you tube. i do not use any of these. the app is still on your phone, but has less data.
go into the stock "manage applications" app. shortcuts, settings, then "manage applications" will create an easy screen icon.
or go into settings, then applications, then manage applications, and go one by one.
sorry, i do not remember the 4 or so i could 100% delete.
remember to strip the data of apps you hate and do not use. for example, i did that to google books, and in market it says "update available", and i unchecked the auto update to minimize the crap on my phone. same for facebook and the at&t featured apps.
