I just want to get rid of bloatware

[airmans.lady]

Hi. I'm new to Android and HTC. The Inspire 4G also happens to be my first touchscreen phone.

So I'm gonna be straight out when I say I am not the "hacking" type. I'm just a girl who wanted a new phone that took good pictures.

However the bloatware on this phone is annoying. Especially the AT&T Navigator and Asphalt 5. There's a few others I'd never use including the Blockbuster app.

So can someone tell me the easiest way (fewest steps) to get from point A to point B? I don't want to make my phone do incredibly fancy things, I just want these programs removed.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. :-[

the only way i know of, is to root the phone. then install titanium backup pro and either remove or just 'freeze' the applications (which is what i did). i chose to freeze them as i have heard (though i don't know if it's true) that removing them may cause you to not get software updates in the future.

misterbbq is dead-on right. And I loves me some BBQ.

Rooting this one isn't the easiest affair though. Be sure to ask every question you have before you try it, we don't bite here
