Newb wanting to get rid of Orange apps[DONE]

[Guest The Alpha Gamer]

Is there any way I can get rid of all the Orange apps without rooting my phone? If not, is rooting safe? I heard it makes you more open to malware. If it is safe, is there a simple guide anyway on it? I've tried searching and couldn't find anything

EDIT: Thanks guys! I'm de-oranged now

Root is safe! You can turn it off after deinstalling your apps.

Download and run Androot.

After that you have a SUPERUSER APP on your phone.

If you run it ignore the message that you have already root access -it's a bug- and apply root access.

After that use Titanium Backup (market) to get rid off your orange apps

Please note:

Removing the Boot splash screen and the boot animation is a bit more complicated... Easiest way is to install a Custom Rom

You can unroot when you are done and/or use softroot (root gone after reboot).

Is it confirmed that it works with this phone? It doesn't say so in that thread's first post?

Which version do I download and how do I use it after it's installed? Just run it and click a root button?(I already know how to install from the memory card so that's ok)

And while chaing the boot stuff would be nice, i'm not so bothered about that, i just don't like the app menu being full of apps i wont use

Really? Did you?

I hate people who put this at the end of their post when it's clear they haven't bothered at all.

A quick search for "remove orange apps" turns up this 12-page monster thread on the exact subject.

"Root" in this forum didn't show anything, "deorange" in this forum didn't show anything, and those are just the few i can see in my history atm without going further back. So yes, i did search, tyvm

and to add to my earlier post, i should point out i have the white model with the tft screen, if that's important
