Have you thought about flashing a newer rom that has the bloatware removed and is overclocked already? The new gingerbread roms are super fast and smooth.
Well I'm starting to wish I'd never gone down this road. I'm trying this;
To remove bloatware with Android Mate, run it after installing it. Before you can do anything with it, you will need to give it superuser access; hit "Allow":
After you give it superuser access, navigate to "File Explorer" and type in
/system/app:
At the /system/app folder, select the APK and ODEX files of the apps that you want to remove, and hit "Delete":
Be warned that even with superuser permissions you should not just remove any and all apps you want; some apps are required for your phone to function normally, so I highly recommend you do a little bit of research to see what apps can be removed safely and what cannot. Typically third party apps, apps that are not from Google, your phone manufacturer, or your service provider (like apps from Amazon) can be removed safely.
Take note that sometimes Android Mate is quirky. It took me three attempts to delete apps from the /system/app folder; on the first two attempts the apps simply were not deleted. On the third attempt - and all attempts afterward - the apps got deleted just fine. So, if you find Android Mate is not properly deleting apps, try it again until it works.
Last but not least, Android Mate provides a lot more features than just bloatware removal. It is a launcher, an installer, an uninstaller - the developer describes it as "Android Mate = App Organizer + SU File manager + Task manager + APK Installer". (You may be prompted by Android asking if you want to use Android Mate as your default launcher - you can always say no and use the launcher you had before.) Unless you want to use the rest of Android Mate's features, you may want to consider uninstalling the app after you have removed all the bloatware off your phone.
Problem is, I can't see the delete cut copy buttons because an add keeps overlaying them. I long press and hit delete but the apps aren't removed. Arggg!
