Found a way to delete some of the ATT bloatware if you are rooted. There is an app called titanium backup that lets you delete system apps. It is nice having them all out of my app tray since I'll never pay to use them.

I'm rooted and I have it installed, care to tell how to delete them?
Open the program, you'll get a list of apps and status when you go to backup/restore click on an app and you'll get a bunch of options, including unisntall. This worked great for me.

Yeah, this pretty much sums it up. Don't delete any of the google voice or google talk apps though, as another user mentioned this caused problems for him. (Not 100% sure on the specific apps involved though)
I got rid of all of the ATT ones and haven't had any issues.
Ummmm okay, I open the program, select "Backup/Restore" and it gives me:
Accounts
Application Widgets
Bluetooth Pairings
Country, Language, Time zone
Wi-Fi Access Points
If I select "Application Widgets" I get an option to "Backup!", but "Freeze!" and "Uninstall!" are grayed out. I don't even get a list of installed apps.

You should get a list much longer than that.
Try pressing the problems button at the bottom of the screen and letting it download the "known good version" of busybox. Not sure if this will work, but I did it before doing anything else and everything is working good for me.

wow this is by far the best method out there. it even lets you make backups. ill try to get a comprehensive list of what i successfully removed without breaking anything.
ALWAYS SELECT BACKUP BEFORE YOU UNINSTALL.
Ok here is the list:
ATT Hotspots
Mobie TV
ATT Radio
ATT Music

I love this app and getting rid of the ATT Crap!
yeah, guess ill get started on a do all guide for the captivate, expect it in the next 2 days
looooooove it!!! seems to be running smoother alrady got rid of all that AT&T blotware garbage branded apps lol!!!!
rooting
rooting positively absolutley voids warranty, correct? Also....ANY possible way to remove AT&T bloatware w/ out rooting? I'm prob guessing no.
Thanks for the pointers - I just removed all the AT&T apps and the phone definitely seems to approve as much as I do.

I think you need root....
One of the few apps able to remove the bloatware is the Titanium backups but this one needs root to install.
I think if you have adb/sdk and able to console in, you should be able to uninstall crap like that. Then again i think you need root permissions to access those file.
Don't quote me.
pretty sure there will be an unroot so if thats a concern id wait.
I'm new to the whole android scene. I just rooted my phone and currently have Titanium Backup running doing a backup of Apps + System data. Is that all I need to make sure I have a backup of those AT&T apps should I need/want them back?
I believe it is saving them in a folder called TitaniumBackup. Should I transfer that folder to my pc just in case something happens to that backup on my phone?
Thanks for the list of apps to get rid of as well. Will come in handy.

Ok so I was uninstalling stuff from my phone and I ran across 2 things that wont completely uninstall.
One is called "Co0kie's Home Tab"
and
"no2chem nueLED"
and
"Wei Enterprises nueBattery for CDMA..."
When I try to uninstall them it says
"(Program name) was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"
I click "YES" and it will go away for like 5 seconds, then it's back on my programs list...
Any help? I'm thinkin it's something to do with the registry, like I need to remove entries, but don't know which to remove and hard reset is out of the question as my phone is flashed for Cricket aka MetroPCS.
TIA for any help, suggestions, and/or advice.

Good luck mate!
I had same problem a little while ago and was to told to dl SKTOOLS and run "clean" and it did the trick, it gets rid of obsolete files and files that are unnecessary. you should also use sktools to uninstall programs as it does teh complete job the first time unlike winmo.
hope that helps.
Thanks for the replies. I'm gonna give both apps a try and let you know how it goes. Thanks again.
May have been answered before but searching didn't bring anything up for me. Basically I want to clear the data backed up on my Google account regarding Android (WiFi, Market apps, Settings, etc) so I can start again.
Anyone know how to do it?
OK, managed to find somewhere that if you go into your Privacy settings and uncheck the backup option it says it'll delete everything. Is this correct?
Erm I think so eddy I used to untick it when first install and everythibk would be clear
For reference, the above doesn't work. Tried clearing the lot, wiped all data and reflashed my ROM and it still restored my apps, etc...quite annoying really. I mean, its good, but if you wanna start from a clean slate it would seem you can't!
Erm ok soz buddy

That's OK mate! I'll find a way I'm sure
Quick edit: Turning off backup DOES delete settings relating to the phone but NOT the Market. Must be a separate backup which I can't find!
EDIT: OK, sign into your Google Dashboard and you can see what's backed up and when but you CANNOT delete it. Why the hell not?!?!

Hi,
Is it one of those situations where they have you by the short and curlies,and will not let you go?
Maybe the only way is to open a new account?
I seem to remember AOL being the same...
Bloody well hope not! I've emailed Google so we'll see what comes of it but surely if you delete an app it should NOT come back the next time!
On a related note, anyone know why some apps I install are NOT listed under 'My Apps'? I'm guessing it's linked to my account somehow but, again, it's annoying!
Erm depends if they where downloaded from Google it self or if sourced from some where else they won't show up I should know
If u have titanium backup go to
Menu/more/market doctor and it will fix broken links to Google market

Randomly enough, it seems to have worked anyway! It said I may have to 'download any app' to get it up to scratch and, seeing as Superuser needing updating, I did it. It now shows all Market apps in My Apps!

Hey guys,
I just wanted to inform you about two apps I found recently that appear to boost performance and battery life a bit.
The one that boosts performance is a better and more efficient version of Seeder. It's called SeFix and (as opposed to Seeder) really does seem to work!
The second (the battery booster) is actually way more versatile:
It's called Greenify and it lets you disable apps to run in the background.
Eg. I set it to decline the Google Maps request to run in the background all the time; because as we all know, Maps often sucks somewhere near 7% of the battery.
(However, it needed me to root uninstall it and then install it from the play store, so it wasn't a system app anymore)
Anyway: I hope this helped and that it makes your device nicer to use (like it did for me)
Last but not least: as you are probably aware: Orange Backup is a backup app that lets you do complete (CWM or TWRP style backups) without having to go into the recovery!
Really awesome.
I guess you could use it for Facebook too, to keep it from running in the background all the time.
Or... You could also *not* use Facebook and switch to cooler social media, such as Google+

Never happened to me.
Are you using data2sd?
Maybe it's confused because of the switch?
I can only say that it works like a treat for me and that it makes these backups quite fast considering that it doesn't need to boot into recovery.
Have you tried contacting the developer? He's called snoopy333 and is to be found in the original thread. Maybe he can tell you what's going on?
Thank you for sharing the existence of greenify.
EXCELLENT
How do I block the playstore?
Titanium Backup does not turn me or makes user application and remains in system application.
thanks

I tried TWRP (compression disabled, maybe the key lies there) and let it back-up locally.
But I have indeed also backed everything up to the cloud.
Both worked fine...

Ok so I bought a Note 4 used. All is good with the phone. It's on Marshmallow 6.1 (who cares)
Now I've rooted the phone and it's all good ... but .... oh yeah. "facebook scum of the earth" have now several apps (3) on 6.1 yup AND I cannot remove them !!!!
F. No. I'm rooted. I'm running Titanium Pro and still that isth comes back, time and again. These barstewards are circumventing Play Store. No matter if you're set to "do not update apps) it just keeps coming back. I've tried to nuke this **** 3 times now. I had to do a restore from TWRP every time. If you shut them down they come alive again.
I detest FB and all the rapc they stand for and trouble they cause. I want that s/w off my phone but how do I go about that? I've always relied on Titanium. Not this time.
So what now? I even tried to take a screen-shot but got a security notice "telling me that screen-shot WASN'T ALLOWED. what the duck- in - hell is going on.?
The gaul of these people. What ever happened to out privacy?
If I can't nuke these apps, I'll need to find an earlier ROM from 5.....?
Any brains out there much appreciated helping me ****e on these dickheads!
Thank you

First off learn to do this yourself
Titanium and other apps are a crutch..
You can never be sure it's done right unless you do it your self.
Get the oem image for your Rom
Learn how to open it up and remove or add things
(That how custom Rom masters do things)
Remove what you want and flash away..
Or find a debloated version of your Rom and flash that.
And understand.
As time goes on Google, samsung and everyone else are trying to find ways to stop you from changing things on your phone..
They make money from it..
(And they get less support calls about problems from noobs who mess up their phones)
One day.. You will just be stuck with it.
this is good apk may help
try this app
create a blank app with the same package name, then facebook won't be able to update it due to unconsistent certificates
Thanks all. I don't currently have an OS so I can't install anything. No matter how long I let the phone sit it does nothing. Somehow I feel like the phone is not wiped completely as I thought it would be using TWRP (twerp) I'm guessing this is why I can't simply replace an image twerp made for me.
I've tried to use Kies to re-install a basic OS but it had a heart attack and its toes curled up and it died RIP Kies!
Ideas?
Well, I thought I'd update this thread. I got a copy of Lineage 14.1 and a copy of Gapps Nano 7.1 and flashed the pair of them.
WoW finally someting that works .....? NOT
Sadly everything works but the phone bit. uckf, it never ends! Whatscrapp, Viber & Skype the screen goes black and I've no control. The regular phone is black screen too but works bi-directional. Whatscrapp just calls yet no voice transfer either way. Viber & Skype connect with voice both ways but the screen is black no control, no soft keys or home button. WTF is going on?
ANY help would be much appreciated. It not my settings as far as I can tell. Everything else on the entire phone works. Well except the pen bit, not that I'm bothered about that.
I've a Note3 and I can say, that Whatscrapp will not do voice just like the Note4. Note3 did WA voice a loooong time ago but packed up never to return. All the rest of WA works though. I can't help wondering what WA hooks onto to make voice because it'll ring and I can be called but that is where the fun stops. Seems the world has forgotten just how robust Skype really is with Viber being a gillion time better than WA WA sadly rules for now.
Ideas anyone?
Cheers
No takers on this? Where do I go for xpert help? Please advise. Thanks
stock ,stock ,stock rom install
Yeah but I can't find stock. That's the problem. Sam Mobile are all corrupt. Is there alternative sites?
Here is an Excel spreadsheet that I made with all packages from the EVR-L29 and how to remove them without root. Each package name is listed along with the description of each package (if applicable) and whether or not each package is safe to remove. Use your own common sense on removal of some of these. Obviously if you want the stock dialer and contacts then don't remove the Android Dialer & Contacts packages. You need ADB & Fastboot extracted to a folder on your PC and you have to open up a command prompt in that folder.

I don't use the Facebook app nor do I screen share on Facebook so I really can't be of much help. Maybe there is someone else here who knows the reason why it's not working? The only thing I can tell you is make sure all of the permissions for Facebook are checked under "Special Access" in settings/apps/apps/3 dots at the top right, Special access.
Excellent list. I kinda, ' winged it on the AL-00 but this will help for next time. I'm assuming there was more junk on the Chinese version.

Yeah there are some more on the Chinese version but a lot of them can be removed without penalty. I'm hoping to eventually buy an AL00 version as well so I can play around with rebranding. I wouldn't mind having one of each to help with development.

Thank you! Uninstalled annoying facebook stuff and more importantly - Huawei's stock music app. Everytime I connect to my car, it auto launches and I resorted to denying it my storage access, but having it completely gone feels better.
A quick question - will a factory reset return all these removed apps?

I'm on the Global version. What's also interesting is that after a factory reset I have some menus and things that are different. Even though I am supposedly on the same build.
For example when you do the recent tasks, it used to show me all the apps running in a left to right scroll-able list. Currently its now an top to bottom list. Not sure I care either way, but it's interesting that its different.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the Huawei launcher being removed. I had the same happened after removing it then switching to Apex.

I'm on the Global version. What's also interesting is that after a factory reset I have some menus and things that are different. Even though I am supposedly on the same build.
For example when you do the recent tasks, it used to show me all the apps running in a left to right scroll-able list. Currently its now an top to bottom list. Not sure I care either way, but it's interesting that its different.

Removing the stock launcher will change the recents to the old style. It was the same on my OnePlus 6.
