The good thing about this phone is that, it gives a feeling of do-whatever-i-want-even-if-its-bricked-also-not-too-sad.
Advantage to me as this is my 1st experience fiddling with android sys.
Here is the guide i found on the net on how to remove bloatwares. the steps are logic enough.
But, yeah, there's a 'but', the step on 'choose Root Explorer', i got a 'failed' msg. Sure the root permission is granted, but it is something about "sorry test failed, this feature cannot being run on your phone"
Even if i bypass that step, directly want to delete the apk file, nuh... cannot also.
Cannot delete, cannot move, only can freeze.
to those who might got lucky, here's the step by step.

Explanation
Alcatel included a new partition where are the most system apps (/custpack partition). For this reason apps such as Root Uninstaller don't work completely, although detect the apps, they are not able to uninstall apps because they are programmed to search in /system and /data partitions...
You will learn to uninstall them manually, in a little long but safe method.
Steps
For example, I will uninstall the application: Pinball.
1. In ES File Explorer press Menu button (top left corner) -> Tools and choose Root Explorer, root permission will prompt you, accept.
Note: This step is not necessary if you're just going to uninstall applications of the /custapack partition.
2. Return to the main screen and click on Bookmarks -> / (phone icon).
3. Find the custpack folder and then app. Here are the most of system apps.
4. Search Pinball.apk app (name can vary), hold down on the app until it pops the context menu, then choose Delete and press OK.
Note: Rather than delete the application, you can cut and save it on the SD card to have a backup in case you want in the future reuse it.
5. Exit Es File Explorer and run Link2SD, press Menu -> More and Clear Dalvik-cache.
6. Link2SD will search unnecessary cache, and will let you know if it find something, Press OK.
7.That's it, now you have to restart your phone.

I just use link2sd. Convert to system app > convert to user app > uninstall. Cloud backup & apps on sd were abit tricky tho.Advantage to me as this is my 1st experience fiddling with android sys.
