I said I would provide a list of what all was installed. The device came with an assortment of bundled apps. The ones I might actually use and am keeping are bold faced. Stuff italicized is likely to go away. Stuff in plain text isn't used but won't get removed. All of these were installed as System apps, meaning that they can't be uninstalled, and root is needed to remove them. The device is rooted, some some of these will go away.
