myTouch 4g, I hate you, and T-Mobile applications. I will send you all to binary heaven.

Somewhere along the way, the T-Mobile people forgot that a they are a phone company, that or Android forgot they are making it easy to make phones. I HATE the LG myTouch 4G. I have nothing installed but the base software, and it still is laggy. The solution (of course) is always to get the latest phone software. I decided to just remove all of the running software that wasn't important to phone functionality.

I created a step-by-step guide, but then I found an easier way. I had to find a windows machine though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 has a link to something called Super One Click. It rooted my LG phone in a single click. I then downloaded an application uninstaller. (Of couse, check what you are removing before you do it.)
I then removed things that I didn't want such as:
Tetris (default install, cannot remove... super)
Twitter
Facebook
T-mobile store

The TOS can go to binary hell with my crapware.
