How do I stop the at&t apps from installing?

[lcw731]

Every time I hard reset my 920 (usually after installing a new build), I get a bunch of a&t bloatware apps reinstalling. Any ideas how to stop this? It's getting a little annoying. Thanks

You can't unless you're adept at flashing a phone. You just have to uninstall them again. It's the same with any operating system.
At least you're able to uninstall them. Not the case on a lot of Android phones or on any iPhone.

Use a different firmware and flash it manually.

or on any iPhone.

Um, iPhone is carrier bloatware free. (except for Apple's stuff, but that's not by the carriers)

I was talking about the Apple stuff, not the carrier stuff. Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to apps like Apple Watch, which you're stuck with even if you don't have an Apple Watch.
