[q] ??? Manually deleting selected bloatware on amaze??? - HTC Amaze 4G

Dear ladies and gents.
I am on here once again with another question....
When I bought my HTC Amaze 3 weeks ago, I knew that my Amaze would come with A TON of bloatware.
I am looking to delete most of this bs that I have on here that I don't use anyways......
Is there an app / program that would let me select the bloatware I want to delete, and actually delete it?????
Bloatware I am looking to delete:
* 411 & More [I'M NOT PAYING FOR SH*T]
* Highlight [NOT IMPORTANT]
* FM RADIO [I HAVE UNLIMITED PANDORA]
* Friend Stream [GOT FRIENDCASTER PRO]
* HTC Likes [IDGAF WHAT THEY LIKE]
* Peep [DON'T USE TWITTER]
* Polaris Office [IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING NOTE, FORCED CLOSE LOST MY SH*T]
* Pro Apps [NO THANX]
* Stocks [I HATE STOCKS]
* T-Mobile TV HD [BOOTLEG HULU+]
* Talk [YAHOO MSGR, FACEBOOK]
* Teeter [TAKING UP TOO MUCH SPACE]
* Voice Dialer [DON'T USE VOICE DIALER, ALWAYS SUCKS BALLS]
* Voice Search [I HAVE FINGERS, I CAN TYPE]
* Video Chat (Qik) [I DONT VIDEO CHAT]
* Zinio Reader [NOT FREE, DON'T WANT]
* Watch [WATCH ME DELETE U, TORRENTS R FREE]
* Slacker [PANDORA UNLIMITED]
* Google Search [DON'T NEED AN APP FOR THIS]
* More For Me [LIVING SOCIAL]

I want to be able to delete these without having to install another Rom...
Is this possible????

you have to root your phone first, then you can use a file browser like root explorer to do so

+1. Or there's a tmo debloater zip that removes most of those apps if not all of them floating around dev section. I think in one of XBoarders threads. You still have to be rooted though. Some rooted ROMs also come debloated.

I effing hate the wifi calling feature... I had 30Mbps download with 6Mbps upload and my quality was absolutely horrible. Its a useless feature for me because I live in Chicago. I have good coverage everywhere. But that feature is highly annoying. It used to just turn on by itself and destroy my battery life on my G2x.

I think it's useful in some situations. For example at the workplace there are areas of office that we get absolutely no signal. Something about the really thick brick walls, metal and other electronics all over the place. We do have a wireless network for some of our office equipment with internet access. It's nice to jump on the wifi and place calls when all of my other partners are having to go outside or in the lobby to place their calls.

I guess you're right about that..... But I still don't like it trying to run itself in the background when I don't need it.... Plus ... like I said... for me, I don't really have service issues.... knock on wood....

Yeah I hated those apps too...
BUT be careful....
once you delete them you may have problems like I did...
This that disappeared once I deleted my apps:
Bluetooth, wifi, hot spot, gps, and there was one more but I don't remember....
MAKE SURE TO FREEZE THE PROGRAMS..... BACK THEM UP.... THEN ERASE THEM.... AND I WOULD RECOMMEND USING TITANIUM BACKUP PRO.....

Do you actually work in Detroit???? Because I think I'd understand why you'd have no coverage... lol... Even the buildings don't wanna be in Detroit....

FM radio is bloatware to you too? New handset makers should take note on that and take it out of hardware as well.

I honestly have no desire to listen to the radio.... why bother.... so I can listen to Lil Wayne? or Lady Gaga?
I think I'll pass.... I'll just stick to my Armin Van Buuren that I download and put on my iPod touch.... Thanks!

I listen to talk radio first of all. Second, I like Lil Wayne. Third, I don't listen to radio music. 4th, why use an ipod when I a) have 16GB on my phone; b) have a 16GB SD card in my phone; c) always have my phone; d) don't have itunes or anything Apple? I'll keep my "bloat" lol

1. Don't like talk radio...
2. Lil wayne is ok....
3. I use my iPod touch because I like to keep the battery on my phone close to full when I'm out.... I have a 16gb internal and an 8gb external but I don't have a 999999999 mAh battery....
4. iPod touch has an amazing battery life ..... don't have to charge it for like 10 days.... that's the only reason why I bought it was because of the battery life....
5. Bloat sucks....
p.s. the headphones that I use require some energy to power them.... so that would drain my battery quicker...
