FYI it's impossible to uninstall a system app, so it's no use even
trying. If you are one of the many users with a stock ROM from some
provider, chances are you won't be able to remove their custom
bloatware without rooting your phone and installing some mod. (This
is a potentially good idea for other reasons as well: much of that
custom bloatware is overprovisioned and contains potential exploits..)
