Bundled and uninstallable apps / bloatware

PART 1

The new update has introduced new apps that we
cannot uninstall. Please add the ability to uninstall
the following applications:

• Facebook
• Facebook Messenger
• Google Messenger
• Google Photos
• Google Play Movies
• Google Play Music
• Hangouts
• Instagram
• YouTube

PART 2

I think it should be great to have also the ability
to remove the following ASUS applications:

• ASUS Browser
• ASUS Calendar
• ASUS Do It Later
• ASUS Email
• ASUS Messaging
• ASUS Mini Movie
• ASUS Photo Collage
• ASUS Quick Memo
• ASUS Sound Recorder
• ASUS SuperNote
• ASUS Support
• ASUS Weather
• ASUS ZenCircle
• ASUS Zen Talk
• ASUS ZenUI Keyboard

     

Check other feature requests:
- ASUS Digital Clock & Widget
- ZenUI Dialer & Contacts
- ASUS Splendid Utility
- Alarm icon in Quick Settings
- WiFi Smart Lock
- Automatically turn on/off the device
- Useless static notification
- ASUS PC Link for Linux and Mac

I hope more people will vote for this poll.

There is also Instagram bundled in latest update.
It's not all that bad, some of those apps will be removed after factory reset (Asus browser, asus messages and asus calendar...).
Also, after carefull examination, Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Instagram are not taking much space, they are only stubs, not full apps but still I should be able to remove them from my phone.
Without Hangouts some apps (like WhatsApp) have trouble functioning (messages are arriving late) and Do it later is great app and I use it daily, but I know some people don't use it and don't want to have it on their phone, that's why I'm voting for option to be able to uninstall ALL apps that are not system critical.

But i don't like to have new apps in a system update, because:

• Even if I don't use this app and i disable it, it takes some space in memory (in this case only facebook, ok, but think about the dozens of apps pre-installed in our Zenfones).
• Every app installed leaves extra folders. Even if you uninstall it, empty folders relative to that app remains in some other directories
  

An other thing to say: if a factory reset will delete more pre-installed apps, reading in this forum I realized that many users found various problems. I'm scared to do a factory reset only for this reason. I've done once with Lollipop but now i prefer to avoid it

i watch from youtube shows that we can use memory card to increase the internal memory of android mm 6.01 ...if i do it..does it brake the warranty?because no need root for that

I'd like to have a poll on the Asus logo on top, in the middle of the phone. I hate it, and it should be removed.
And a poll on the LED notification. I don't like it. I have a bug for the 80s, I would like Asus to change the LED notification light into a disco ball. It would also be nice to have a stroboscopic light effect and a laser pointer, for Powerpoint presentations.
