OK so I have a new Sprint EVO and I am quite good when it comes to PC's, Network design, etc since I am a MCSE but this phone rooting and such just plainly scares the crap out of me. I have gone through and read a great deal of information but I am unsure exactly what it is that I need to do to get where I want to be with my phone.

Basically I want to be able to either remove or just stop the startup of all the Sprint Bloatware on my new phone. I do not do Facebook, Flicker, Amazon etc so I have no need for these things to startup when I turn on the phone. I go through and shut down the aps but a few minutes later they restart. I own a IT Company in my area so battery life is very important to me to talk to techs and customers.

Is it possible to remove these apps from the start up like msconfig does on pc's with out actually removing the small programs or widgets? I have done allot of research and it appears that a program I purchased on my phone (root explorer) is a highly rated program. I can read and understand the process although with all the different websites that I have had to jump to its not as clear to root the phone as I would like.

Can any one help?
