What is a bloatware?
Bloatwares are pre-installed apps that comes with computers, phones etc. They take a large amount of system resources (Storage space, RAM), which usually runs in the background and also drains your battery off its juice. In other words, they are pre-installed junks.
We would be discussing how to disable bloatwares on Android smartphones.
There are 3 ways to remove bloatwares:
1. Disable Apps
This is a process intended for non-rooted phone users that want to do away with bloatwares so it doesn’t consume RAM and battery.
Note that this step is not actually uninstalling it, rather like its called, you are only disabling it.
Go to Settings >> Application >> Slide through your apps and disable the pre-installed apps you want to do away with. This is actually the safest way because once you encounter an error message, you can easily enable it back from your application manager.
2. Using Root App
Your device needs to be rooted for this method to work effectively for you. We all know the potential of an android smartphone is usually unlocked after it has been rooted. If you are scared of rooting your device because you might eventually brick your device, kindly stick to step 1.
Head over to play store, search and download system app managers like NoBloat Free, System App Remover etc. Choose the one that works best for you, grant root access and follow its procedure.
3. Flash your Custom ROM
Don’t follow in this direction if you don’t know what it is about. When you flash your stock ROM with a Custom ROM e.g Cyanogenmod, you have overwritten the operating system that came installed with the device with a custom ROM. Custom ROM don’t usually come with pre-installed apps so you are rest assured your device is bloatware free.
