I was wondering can I remove the blockbuster app and all those other apps already on da thunderbolt because it won't let me.w
All the software (apps) that came with it cannot be removed unless you root your device. I am a newbie with Android so I am not to the point of going in that direction ... maybe next year, LOL! You can hide them, though but I forget how to do that. I think you need Launcher Pro do hide them. Launcher Pro is really neat, you can get it in The Market.
You cant hide them on the main apps screen can you?
Yes, LauncherPro allows you to hide any apps you dont want to see on the main app screen.
Launcher Pro is a home replacement app, like ADW, Go Launcher Ex, etc. (it's not a task killer).
Edited To Add: Once you install something like this, when you hit the "home" button it'll ask if you want to use Sense or your home replacement. Selecting the home replacement will disable sense and you'll have a more customizable UI (downside is no HTC widgets will work).
I like go launcher.
However OP you just need to search these forums.
Either way it's adding another layer on top of sense so IMHO they slow the devices down.
I uninstalled them, rooted my device (no custom rom) just removed the bloatware from my device and am happy with that.
You can create folders on your screens and will only see the unwanted apps if you hit all apps key on the device.
TarheelDan,
I'd assume of all those apps the Lancher pro is the best? from what I'm hearing at least

Launcher hasn't been updated in a while (I could be wrong).
Most people early on used it because it gave non HTC owners the ability to add more screens to their devices.
I agree with INK.
But again, if you are worried, etc. I would just get used to the device as is, then add a launcher, etc. once you become familiar with widgets vs apps, etc.
