So far here's what i've disabled so far, are these apps the same as bloatware?
Kindle
Stock Browser
Google Play Books, movies
Google +
MOG Music
MOTOACTV
MotoPrint
Music Store
My Music
Netflix
Slingbox
Stock text messaging
Verizon Video
Video Surf
Most of it I think could be considered bloatware. Out of curiousity though how are your MMS messages doing coming through? I disabled Stock Text Messaging and was not getting any. Just curious.

Good timing on this post, for me, because I had some questions about this. Slacker was one that I attempted to do this too because I never use it. So I did the uninstall the updates thing and removed it. However after a restart, I noticed that the Play store downloaded the updates back automatically and thought maybe it reactivated it. I think I realized that you have to take the further step to disable it under the ALL tab and so I think I?m good now.
What is Verizon SSO Engine?
'Uninstall Updates' and 'Disable'....?????
I mean, why not just disable and be done with it.....
Some apps don't give you the option of disabling it until you uninstall the update.
What is Verizon SSO Engine and Rescue Security?
I wanted to make sure what they were before disabling, i'm guessing they're not needed?
Root. Flash ROM. Forget what bloatware is...
Disabling a few apps doesn't bother me enough to root my device.
but, the end product is oh so nice.
