I've been wondering how to actually uninstall default installed apps. I'd value the disk space a lot more than the app functionality.


There are several tutorials out there, but it's a pain.

I have an AT&T branded LG phone, and it came with lots of crapware.

Example of the stuff you have to do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/guide-how-...

Even worse, a "stock" Lenovo K3 Note comes with an unbelievable amount of crap (not surprising to those that followed the Superfish fiasco) - the hardware itself is pretty good and unbeatable at the price point (maybe they subsidize the phone with all that adware?).



In a lot of cases, these bloatware apps are in the RO root partition, and so you wouldn't really gain usable disk space.
