Restoring or re"formating"

[wizardslovak]

Hello people
Just recently i switched from blackerry to gs4g and i love it so far but i hate those stock apps which i dont use. Is there way to format phone and install just os without pointless apps from tmobile and samsung?
Thank you

Unless you root it and install custom roms, short answer is no.
Unless you are comfortable with writing code its probably not the best idea.
You can brick your phone real easy if you dont know what you are doing.

I for one am scared to try it myself so I just live with the crap-ware
that comes on these phones.

I'd say get Titanium backup (paid) - freeze the apps. They won't run but they are still there and you can unfreeze. Run your new stuff from the memory card if you can. I've found that fairly fast. Then the crapware is out of your way.

Android Gingerbread 2.3.2 Now Available on Samsung Galaxy S | xda-developers
