Could you be a little more specific? Where could I find a trustworthy version?Depends on the implementation and / or where you got it.
Stick to the mainstream sites like here or XDA. Look for downloads that are vetted such as included in the OP of an active root thread. If you find it on a rogue site on page four of your google search, best of luck to you.Could you be a little more specific? Where could I find a trustworthy version?
OK. Thanks. And, just curious, why 'Unforgiven'?Stick to the mainstream sites like here or XDA. Look for downloads that are vetted such as included in the OP of an active root thread. If you find it on a rogue site on page four of your google search, best of luck to you.
Cool video - classic! OK.
Cool video- classic, thanks!
Really? I'm kinda new to all of this stuff. But what question comes to mind is where are all the stand up people? Surely there are still some people who are straight up developers, those that built something solid for a specific use, without all the extra, unnecessary baggage. That's what I'm looking for. Thanks for your input.Lol, aren't most apps spying on you anyways? Cough, cough, Facebook.....
Root apps are very phone specific, different that apps in the app store. That said, some publishers are to be avoided. I think I've been telling people to avoid cheetah mobile and facebook since about 2012.Really? I'm kinda new to all of this stuff.

Could bloatware be removed without root?Think twice before deciding to root.
It's much easier to disable all of the unnecessary apps that are pre-installed then to render your phone useless
You might be better off focusing on 'disabling' rather than 'removing'. Rooting is NOT a cure-all, magical, fix-it solution to everything. When rooted that gives you the ability to do a lot of system-level tasks but it does not necessarily give you the knowledge to do so.Could bloatware be removed without root?
As has been suggested, you may be able to "freeze" it, which essentially stops it from running and removes it from the app drawer. It doesn't erase it from storage though. In apps | settings you could see freeze, disable, or some other like term.Could bloatware be removed without root?
Just encountered some info saying that KingRoot is spyware. Is this true?

If you disable a background process that turns out to be a necessary one, you can just enable it again. Delete that same process, and that might result in bricking your phone, or killing an important feature with dependencies, or require you to re-flash with a stock ROM just to get your phone working again.

So it sells the users data, but does it damage the device?It phones home your data to servers in China, to be sold onto third-parties, that's basically how it's monetized.
