I've rooted my phone and would like to get rid of the bloatware from the factory, is there a particular program I need to download for this or a different method? Thanks!

Searched for a while before making this thread, however after posting of course I find the solution... So for those future individuals that end up finding my thread here is your fix.

Ya gotta love the wiki.

And since you have already posted this thread, I'll go ahead and upload the SDX App Removal apk here, since this thread will now pop up if anyone searches for this topic.

I use Titanium Backup since I have it installed anyway. You can make a backup of the Stock Apps in case you want to install them again, then remove them.

Does your phone have to be rooted to use the PC & Android SDK method of removing unwanted Apps?

Nevermind (duh), the answer is yes or you won't have permissions to remove the files. Too bad there isn't a way to remove the bloat ware without rooting the phone.
