I know I can obviously delete the sony bloatware but can I delete all the google play stuff?

>>56206405
yeah

better just don't install them though

they are on the phone and I am not able to uninstall only disable.
It's like buying a new laptop jammed full of bloatware but not being able to reboot windows.

got ya. was looking into firefox open os earlier.

If its a Sony, use flashtool, i think it has an option for root.

Rooting is easy. Nowadays it's just plug your phone into a PC and click "root". You can't mess something up.
You can delete anything you want, including the system necessary components (not recommended). I recommend searching for which apps should be safe to remove from your phone. If you use Google play store, you shouldn't remove it but you can remove other play crap (games, music, newsstand, Google plus)

>a Sony

Don't install CM nor AOSP, you're gonna ruin your fucking camera, audio and battery life. It's not worth it.

Don't delete any system/core apps unless you are absolutely sure. The safer bet is to freeze them so you can reactivate them later.
