T-Mobile Installs Spamware on Devices

App Selector On Android: What It Is (And How To Disable It) (slashgear.com)

I did not want this installed. I did not ask for this to be installed.  It does not permit me to disable notifications.  It is annoying the hell out of me, recommending apps that I would never be interested in.  What is the point?

This article helped me figure out how to shut it down permanently, though the steps are not exactly right.  It refuses to permit uninstall of the app.

Here's my mod on the process:

- Settings

- Apps

- Find App

- Force Stop

- Disable App

- Roll back Updates

Magically, the app is gone now, along with its evil twin sister AppManager.

Go figure.
