Had a go at teaching myself a bit over the weekend...

First tried removing apps, but did not have any luck. I used the Play Store and searched on the app name, for example 'calendar' and got matches Google calendar, aCalendar etc, but these were not the Calendar in the ZTE Blade 3. Also tried searching on Play Book and got matches but not for the Play Book in the ZTE (was hoping to get rid of the children books). Did not try to remove any other app from the ZTE. I am beginning to think it cannot be done.

However, the Android Firefox browser provides functions similar to those on a desktop Firefox. Clicking in the address bar field brings up a list of visited sites. Long-clicking an item in the list brings up a small menu that allows the item to be removed from the history list.

The Android Chrome browser can also show a history list and let the user delete history items, but the operation is a bit different from the Firefox.

I have read it is possible to remove unwanted apps from a rooted Android device, but I don't think that is for a newbie like myself. Too much can go wrong.

Has anyone tried rooting a ZTE Blade 3? Is it difficult? Where can I read about it?
