The problem with the Custom Skin Android Mobiles with the Activated Carriers is Bloatware. The Manufacturer installs a bunch of useless Bloatware apps on our mobile. Additional to this, our carrier also introduces a lot of apps. The Apps don’t bother us If We have High RAM Mobile. But When we have Mid-Range mobiles, the Manufacturer Apps can take a lot of space, which stops us from using the Important apps. Like other Carriers, Sprint also Installs some Bloatware Android Apps like Sprint Hub. Unfortunately, we can’t uninstall this app like Playstore apps. You have to use other methods to disable and delete those Applications. Below I will explain some ways With Root and Without Root. Based on your current mobile state, you can choose the appropriate one.
