How to remove MotoBLUR from Motorola Charm MB502 phone? I have a T-Mobile branded Motorola Charm (MB502) phone that I bought for my wife.  It's a capable little device, but it's being slowed down to a crawl by MotoBLUR.  I'd like to know if there is a way to remove all BLUR software, preferably by overwriting the firmware with a de-blurred version.

It's been updated to the latest firmware and rooted via SuperOneClick.  Here are the relevant details from the phone's "About" screen:


  System Version: Blur_Version_2.3.9007.MB502.T-Mobile.en.US
  Model number: MB502
  Baseband version: EPU93_U_03.3B.02
  Build number: BASIL_U3_03.90.7  


I know of at least one de-blurred version that can be flashed with RDSlite, from and-developers.com. Unfortunately this version "BASEM_U3_01.12.4" doesn't work on T-Mobile Charm and (almost) bricks it after flashing, requiring a re-flash to the base T-Mobile sbf. Also, on xda-developers thread a dev managed to build a working version of Clockwork Recovery for the Charm. However, there are no ROMs available for it yet.

So my question is this: For the lack of any 3rd-party ROMs, is there a way to safely remove all BLUR apps and references from Charm?
While I don't know how to kill MotoBlur, if you are rooted you can use Titanium Backup to remove the crappy system apps that run all the time.  Just open Titanium, click the offending app, and click Uninstall.  Only remove apps that aren't needed for the system to run, of course.
