You can't uninstall system apps since they are part of the software version you have from your mobile carrier.

That's what you are asking about, right? The crap that came with the phone?

Where's the answer on THAT page, then? Google that, Googlemeister.

if it's a smartphone... and you don't want that crap showing up on the main screen menus... you can delete the icons (though the programs are still installed).

Uninstalling an app that you did not download

Apps that come pre-installed on your phone or tablet are known as system apps. System apps cannot be uninstalled because they are part of the version of the Android operating system running on your device.

On most devices, system apps include native Google apps such as Google Maps. For questions about other system apps that you may have installed on your device, please contact your mobile carrier.

I just rooted my phone. Was easy enough but then again I don't have a razor but same operating system. I also customized color schemes and a whole bunch or other stuff.

There are a few bloatware apps that I'd like to get rid of from my phone. Things like Fakebook, Twitter, etc.
