Few things here. just updated to ICS and im not sure if there is a root yet for this but id really would like to get some of this bloatware and some of the google apps i NEVER use. IE google+, google books, and the sprint id and stuff like that. I like to just hit auto update but these pop up in the update all the time and just want to get rid of them..

Any info on how to do this now that i have ICS?

Disable them. It's easy. Go into Settings>Apps>All and tap on what you don't want. For the most part this will also stop the updates. There are a few threads on bloatware in the forums already. Good luck!

You can disable them or root.
