Bloatware wasn’t invented with the Android phone, but Android phone manufacturers and cell phone carriers have really taken advantage of it. Bloatware is all of the extra software applications that come pre-installed on your Android–it can include any kind of application. Many Android phones come packed with useless software preinstalled by the device’s manufacturer and your cellular carrier. For example, Sprint even includes a NASCAR app with some of their phones. Most notable bloatware examples are games. The Sony Xperia Play came pre-installed with several games that could not be removed.

The idea is that these pre-loaded apps and games add value to the device and attract you to make a purchase.Let’s take an example to illustrate just how problematic bloatware can be. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a fantastic gaming phone which comes with several games already installed, including FIFA, Star Battalion and The Sims 3. This was a major selling point at launch, and rightly so - being able to play awesome games straight out of the box is great. Games are just one example, though. Some apps are pre-installed by networks or phone makers.

However, games have a limited lifespan before they become surplus to requirements, and although you can remove the game data partitioned on your SD card, you can’t physically remove the install files from the Xperia Play’s internal app storage area.That means those games are stuck on the device forever. They clog up your app drawer and occupy valuable app storage space which could be better used for other programs.

Unlike games - which cease to operate as soon as you close them down - system apps will constantly eat up valuable RAM resource, even if you don’t use them. This can cause your phone to perform poorly, leading to lag and force-close problems.

It's a zip file written scripts in it which removse bloatware apps from ROM via Recovery.

Assume you have flashed a new rom. You now have to go through the pain of removing dozens of apps from system/app which you might not need. eg: some people hardly use google maps/swype/youtube/email/weather.apk or those several samsung apps/widgets found in stock rom. More reasons -

* Useless apps could Clutters your list of installed apps

* May even run automatically at startup

* Drain battery power in the background

* Disabled Bloatware Still Wastes Storage Space & comes back after reset.

* It slows down phone performance

* It could use ram, eat it.

* It takes up memory space that can be used for things you actually want

* It can potentially telegraph information to the app developer or phone company

The system partition contains important apps required for android. if you remove an app which is essential for android then your device might get stuck in bootloop. So know what you're doing before trying this.

* deleting one by one of apps could be time consuming

* It can remove more than 20 apps within 2-3 seconds.
