Google Pushing for More Crapware to be pre-installed on android
Now this is just sad. Don't be evil ---> Be evil??? http://tech.slashdot.org/story/14/09/29/1827207/google-to-require-as-many-as... -- Regards Brian Ngure
Google built Android so that it could push it's products. Requiring their apps to be installed doesn't surprise me at all. On 30 Sep 2014 18:17, "Brian Ngure via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

I realized I didn't state my issue with this. I agree Google has the right to push their products. My issue is that: 1. They fill up the device storage preventing you from using that space. 2. You can't uninstall them. You are forced to accept apps on your device that just take up space and you never use. On Oct 1, 2014 3:12 AM, "Mouz" <mouzmuyer@gmail.com> wrote:

Certainly it is an annoyance and many of the big manufacturers/ phone carriers have been doing this for ages. Be adventurous, get a customised firmware. On 1 Oct 2014, at 08:45, "Brian Ngure via skunkworks" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

You can always root your device and uninstall those apps you don't need. Best app for that job: Root App Delete, which is free on the play store. On 1 Oct 2014 09:13, "Mark Kipyegon via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
