    Default Samsung S7 - Removing Bloatware?

    Just purchased a second had Samsung S7 for the Mrs.
    It's a Telstra branded handset.
    I know it will work just fine with any other sim.
    But is there a way to remove all the Telstra preloaded rubbish?

    Or does that mean rooting and a new ROM?
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    You don't have to root it just download the XSA firmware, according to the link you lose VoLTE. Have a read and you need Odin software to do it. There is anther way Samsung Experience Store do it for free but you need to make an appointment.
