Removing Verizon bloatware apps?
 

I've searched but couldn't find what I was looking for, so I started this thread looking for (hoping for to be honest) the answer.

Is there any way to uninstalled the stupid memory hog bloatware from the VZW HTC TP2 without installing a custom ROM? I'm currently on the VZW stock 6.5 manila 2.5.

I saw that someone did it on a different style phone but his app doesn't work on my phone.

you can use sktools. i think you're mistaken about something though. The programs only use memory if you run them. If you dont open them, it wont use any of your memory.

They take up storage memory.....

really? didn't know that. thanks. lol.
Storage memory is not a problem on our phone. He's refering to programs that are memory hogs that use up the ram.

Re: Removing Verizon bloatware apps?
 

Yep they do....lol

I am sure some things take up some ram but, I would love to remove all the bloatware myself to clear up more storage ram.

I am sure by removing the programs, it might free up a little ram, but, as they are not running, I can't see much....

they only take up ram if they are opened. there's no such thing as storage ram on our phone. you can use the program i mentioned in my first post above to remove factory installed programs.

If you want to uninstall some of the shipped apps use sktools like razor said or you could try tms uninstaller.

whats up hd. hey man, i don't think i ever heard of that tms uninstaller. thanks for the heads up on it.

Re: Removing Verizon bloatware apps?
 

Thanks for the information. I'm going to get right on this today.

And yes, I was talking about memory being used by running programs but I was thinking that some of that bloatware has running processes at startup. So like with windows on a pc, even though the program isn't running, there are processes running at startup that use memory.

I still want to remove the bloatware even if that is not the case so thank you for the info.

i tried tms uninstaller the only thing i could delete was programs off the sd card is there a setting i gotta change so i can delete the stuff off the device thanks

No program can remove things that are stored in ROM. The best they can do is remove things like shortcuts that are in storage memory, but those take up very little space. The only way to actually remove them and shrink the size of the ROM is with a custom ROM.

Well, if you want to uninstall apps like Sprint Nav you should be able to have tms Show All installed apps or set it to show apps not listed as installed in the regular Remove Programs section of settings.
I know for a fact that sktools does this.
Now, like MiamiSon said you can't completely remove all traces of these apps in rom (for example removeing cabs) but you can uninstall the apps.

Re: Removing Verizon bloatware apps?
 

Yea, I know....I personally got a TP2 about 2 weeks ago and right now I am fine with how it works, never mind a very slow new 6.5 rom releases right now (I had a titan that I was flashing every week a month-ish ago).

Word was saying, no more 6.5 roms, as everything is going into "7"...

So I guess I am stuck with what I have for now...

Re: Removing Verizon bloatware apps?
 

is there anyway someone can tell me step by step how to remove a progrm thru sk tools thank you

Re: Removing Verizon bloatware apps?
 

I installed sktools but not all of the programs installed on the stock ROM show up. The only ones that show up are the ones on my storage card. I modified the settings to show all applications but that's all it shows.

Re: Removing Verizon bloatware apps?
 

I just installed tms uninstaller but cannot change the options. It has been greyed out. I installed the only version I could find; version 1.0.

Re: Removing Verizon bloatware apps?
 

i have the same version 1.0 could someone post the cab with options enable thanks
