The easiest way is to use a program like Super Manager(free) or Root Explorer(pay), which gives you access to modify the files needed to disable the Stock bloatware APK's (ie: rename them so the system can't find them during bootup). With Super Manager, you have to go into the settings to enable Root mode.
Within either of those Apps, you should be able to browse to /system/app and rename the files listed on the first post of this thread. I'd also look at the thread titled "Apps that are safe to remove". For each of those, it's the same thing, rename them to .old for the system to not see the apk.
If you're comfortable with Linux command-prompt, you can use the "adb shell" to navigate to those same directories and do the file renaming..... I would only recommend this if you've got linux knowledge, since it requires use of "ls" and "mv" and other commands which are not the same as the Windows/DOS counterparts (dir and move).
Note... only touch files in those directories that others on this forum have confirmed are OK to touch.... other things, that you feel aren't needed... could be critical to the phone function... just be careful.
Excellent! I've attached the apk and will sticky this
Download to SD card and run.
Cool got it all working. Got wireless tether going too. This is phone is like a breath of fresh air.
Off topic, but any suggestions on browser or launcher of choice?

I downloaded the google .apk file as instructed and opened with Launcher pro but I cant get the widget on the screen. Any one have any more details as to how to acomplish this procedure.
Thanks
