Want me to get a copy of the instructions he used or would you just prefer to take it and get it done some where?

If you want I can have a look at the XDA forums and find the info/stuff you need so that you can flash the phone on your own. Won't have time to do it until later on this week if you do want to go down this path.

Correct me if I'm wrong but surely you just need to root to be able to remove the preinstalled crap?

After trolling the xda forum today I was left totally confused, could just be me
I did however come across this site that I found much more user friendly, http://www.androidauthority.com/gala...d-10-1-144123/ 2hours later still couldn't pull it off mind you. |

Having looked at a few other sites for instructions and help in the past, I've found that some steps aren't clearly defined or sometimes are missing. Did you want me to give you a hand Steve? Quote:
You need root access to be able to modify specific parts of the system that you can't without root access. In the past I've had root on one of my older phones and just removed several of the applications and bloatware that I didn't want/need. However, considering how crappy some of the stock roms were, once you get a custom or tweaked base rom on, the difference is like comparing day to night. Battery life was improved, more space was available (going back to 2.2/2.3 days, having apps to SD was freaking amazing!), the look and fell of the phone was better as well as the added tweaks that some of these roms bring. tl:dr, custom rom > stock rom everytime. Something I should add if you are looking at flashing a custom rom. Be sure to backup your data or programs using a program like MyBackup or Titanium Backup. Flash new rom, open market, install one of the above, restore your applications and its like nothing has happened. Just be sure to copy any backup files off the phone first before flashing a new rom! If you use Gmail syncing, calendar entries, phone numbers (if created under Google in People/Contacts) and some settings will be restored once you log back into Gmail on the phone and sync it. Quote:
