[TIP] Rename bloatware to .bak instead of removing

I'm sorry for creating yet another thread about this but as the title states, I have found a better method (at least for me) for *disabling* the bloatware and unwanted apps. I thought about this after disabling the startup sound and it just made more sense to me. Now I don't have to worry about backups or pushing files I didn't mean to get rid of.

Follow the bloatware removal threads, but instead of

rm -f filename.apk

simply

mv filename.apk filename.apk.bak

I take it you have to be rooted to do this?
