If you root your phone you can remove bloatware like Sprint nav, Sprint tv, Sprint zone, some of the HTC things like news stocks I mean you can do a whole lot once rooted

Alright well I just rooted my phone, do you suggest any apps to control the start ups?

Startup cleaner 2.0 looks well..but there aren't many apps that delay starting..so if you want to look into it go ahead but the difference wouldn't be enormous

[Q] How to get emotions for Instagram?

How do I get all these cool emotions I always see on instagram? Is it an iPhone only thing? I'm running on stock ROM and I'm not rooted. Also I use stock Google keyboard.

It's called "emoji" and you must have a rom that supports emoji in order to use them and no it's not icrap specific

There's no way to get it on a stock ROM? I don't want to root this device again.

For 3€ (the price of half a ham sandwich over where I live) you get a lot.
Search for "tasker android" on youtube.

Quick question?

Hey guys, I removed the kids zone app from the main screen by dragging it to the x thinking that it would be in my app drawer, well now it is gone and I can't get it back!? Any ideas?
