Delete Pre-loaded apps

[stanlykubrick]

What is needed to be able to delete/uninstall the pre-loaded app(s) on this phone?

Many Xperia apps I will never use, plus a few others. Any way to do this in a safe manner?

Thanks!

you'd have to root the phone which might void your warranty. but you can disable most of the apps by going to system > apps, tapping the apps you won't to hide and then "disable"

All Android devices MUST come with Google's preloaded apps and services, and Sony is the OEM with less bloatware.

Swifkey is neither Sony or Google. I do not use it. I want it gone. I already know how to disable apps but there are many that I will never use and I guess I will have to go to XDA to get the how-to for complete deletion.

At least I have a good phone for backup while I go through the root and deletion procedure.

What a pain! I'm just sick and tired of having crap shoved down my digital throat when I PAID FOR AND OWN A DEVICE.

I wish someone with the know how would figure out a way to sue all OEM's that do this...I know this means ALL OF THEM.
