removing opera from 6.1 rom on sprint touch

[lelalouf]

Hey guys I updated my sprint touch with the 6.1 rom and it works good. Only 2 issues so far with mine hoping you can help with. First this rom comes with opera 8.65 which i do not use. Is there any way to uninstall this from the phone? I got a sprint picture mail message from somebody and it automatically opened in Opera as opposed to PIE and Opera is not set as my default browser. Id rather free up some space and uninstall if possible. Secondly, I noticed that when i go to my programs folder by hitting start menu than programs that when the program folder opens and I scroll through the programs installed that the scrolling is choppy, However when go to the programs folder via the launcher from the today screen and scroll in the programs folder that it scrolls smooth and normal. Anybody can help? Thanks so much
