-I then opened Root Manager and backed up all system apps
-Then using Root Manager I removed Asphalt 5 Demo and rebooted
-Next I opened Titanium Backup and found the backup of Asphalt 5, but there was no restore button!!!!
-So I go back into Root Manager, go to App Backup/Restore, switch to Restore Mode and there is nothing there. Zip. Zero. Nada. It didn't back up anything.

WTF am I doing wrong? I really want to get rid of all the Sprint crap but I don't want to have to flash back to stock when the next update comes out. Someone please explain to me how I can back up all the bloatware, delete it and be able to restore it later if need be.
I'm assuming you are rooted, correct? Personally, I used the SDX App remover program. You can download it here:

**Guide** Remove Unwanted Stock Apps - Safe .APK's to Remove and How To

You can use this app to backup/delete/restore apps that you have removed. You just need to be rooted to use it.

Hope that helps.
