[LG Revolution] L1Wulf:
Thanks for this list! I had started to experiment but kept it on the safe side since we don't have a recovery yet.

I noticed that there is quite a bit more listed in Bloat Freezer over Titanium which was my first freeze app. I tried Bloat Freezer when I noticed that some things that were frozen were still showing running processes.

A couple of notes to add on to this -- I'm running Go Launcher and cannot use any of the LG specific widgets, Friends+, What's New, etc. but:

What's New is still running and has functionality beyond the What's New widget. I forget the details but I think on a missed call I got the What's New app to display missed call, sms and email count from the pull down alerts. It was late and I didn't think twice about it until the next day (which is what prompted me to find out what was still running in the background even though I'm using Go Launcher.

I'm not sure exactly which Verizon app is responsible, but i recently unfroze all Verizon specific apps while experimenting and I was prompted to try the new data usage widget from Verizon. When I originally froze all these apps, that widget had stopped working in stock home. So it is not dependent on your home/launcher, but it is dependent on one of the VZ apps.

I'm tempted to just go down your list and freeze everything all at once, but maybe I'll do it in small batches and report back any findings.

Again, thanks for the list!
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Wow, that is a ton of frozen bloatpops... didn't think too much of it but that's more apps than i had on my Inc. total on CM.. lol.
[LG Revolution] Triskite:
hmm.. how to restore search button?

I can confirm the following, as well:

DeskHome

Digital Clock widget

Email

Email widget

finance

friends+ widget

guided tours

home 2.2.2

lg keyboard

lgwirelesschargingservice

news 1.0

rhapsody

slacker

sns

v cast apps

v cast media manager

vs navigator

vzw package installer

vzw sms filter

vzwservice

weather

world clock widget

I also just completely uninstalled bing search + bing voice.

I seem to be experiencing a couple issues:

1. Search button did not remap to Google Search... so it does nothing at all

2. Lockscreen music controller seems to control a separate instance of the notification area music controller

Avail: 154MB +29MB in 4

(bah!)
[LG Revolution] L1Wulf:
I've gone through most of these without a problem -- the last one is VZWSERVICE which is now repeatedly popping up:

Every time I click on "force close" it just pops up again. I'm about to pull the battery.

...

Rebooted OK.

I'll add a few more to the list:

Amazon Kindle

Bing Voice

Quick Reference Guide

User Guide

I'm curious though what purpose do these serve:

SNS

VZW SMS Filter

VZWService

I have them frozen and already recieved an SMS, so no hindrance there. I recognize the SNS icon from when I first got the phone (one of the widgets I think). I can't see any effect of having them frozen other than the obvious of course.
[LG Revolution] revolutionaryV:
Be careful with these, I used Bloat Freezer to freeze a small subset of the apps listed in this thread (and none others) and now don't have a home screen. I turn on the phone, slide to unlock, and then the screen is black (normal indicator icons at the top). Holding home gets me to a recent apps page with no recent apps. Nothing else does anything, I can't even turn off the phone without taking the battery out. Any ideas?
[LG Revolution] Triskite:
the ones i posted can be frozen with no incident.

of course i use a custom launcher (launcher pro) so i can't attest to the home screen working ;)

however, after freezing some other apps listed in other posts my bluetooth wouldn't work...
[LG Revolution] AndroidCraig:
I use Go Launcher and I was able to add a few to the lists above:

Tunewiki

Sync Service

Mobile IM

Messaging Widget

Messaging (I use GO SMS)

Does anyone know what the LG and Verizon hidden menus processes are?

System seems a lot faster now and has better battery as far as I can tell.

Only issue I can think of, is that When I have my BT earpiece on and connected, I can not seem to get music out of the 3.5mm jack and into the car's aux.

Anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
What wifi tether is everyone using? My market won't update. So if anyone can post an apk that'd be great.

Also don't freeze autorun 1.0 i think it is. That is the connectivity option for our usb and hdmi slots. Without that it'll work but you can't change the options ever. So you'll be stuck with hdmi off or on and usb charge only cause i think it always starts as.

[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
OP:...just a thought, take it or leave it haha

It would be greatly appreciated if you could update the list every so often with new ones added throughout the thread. Then maybe this could become a sticky at some point.

Also:

Anyone else realize Latitude and Twitter for LG doesnt show up in Ti Backup yet is running every once in awhile.... or maybe it's just my phone?
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
Um I don't even remember twitter being on my phone, I use bloatfreezer and pretty much froze everything on the OP list. I don't think there is to much else that you want to freeze with out risking your phone
[LG Revolution] AndroidCraig:
If you use the stock launcher and then freeze Home 2.2.2 then you will have no home screen. :eek:

I use Go launcher EX so I was able to freeze home with no problems.

Only thing I can think of is a factory reset. But I'm sure others have better ideas.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I don't think Twitter for LG (or anything for LG) is active without the LG Home active.
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
I left lg home active, twitter doesn't show up anywhere in bloatfreezer. I have nothing on my phone that even refers to twitter.
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
Yea i'm not really sure where it's at. I think it's a sub-app(?) of something like one of those facebook/twitter/etc feed widgets. But every so often it shows up in my "running" folder on Go Launcher EX, and I used to see it in my task killer when I had one but i've never seen it on a list anywhere else.

rogue bloat? a new age in ruining our phones haha

As major said, and from what i've seen he's right 99% of the time, I haven't seen it since I froze/.bak LG Home. I'll post a screen shot if I end up seeing it again though
[LG Revolution] jxcgunrunna:
is there a reason that we can not just delete the .apk files from /system/app?
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
we're pretty much able to do that....but the hesitation has been because we have not had a recovery system and it's risky to start deleting any files at all.

However....a recovery system has been through testing lately(yesterday/today) and was released. There's no saying it's perfect but I haven't heard of anyone having big issues. So if you are comfortable with the recovery system available, delete away.
[LG Revolution] jxcgunrunna:
I will pick one up tonight and see what I can do once I get root and CWM on there. I will post my findings.
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
Hopefully you have this fixed already if not:

not sure if this will work but...connect your phone as a USB and hope it connects as a Mass Storage. Go into data/app and delete the Titanium Backup .apk

No idea if this will work, but it's possible that with TiBackup gone it will unfreeze everything.
[LG Revolution] Joseph The Red:
I would recommend putting an * on Home 2.2.2 noting that only if they have a different launcher installed. I had to do a hard factory restore after choosing.
[LG Revolution] Joseph The Red:
please delete this duplicate post... I can't seem to figure it out because I hate myself.
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
Mine does that too seems to be "normal" for this phone. the thunderbolt did that too but was fixed with software update if I remember correctly..

Sent from my rooted and de-Bing-ed LG Revolution
[LG Revolution] AndroidCraig:
I actually found the solution the other day when I was trying to get some better sound from my BT earpiece. (A BlueAnt Q2 that is having issues and being exchanged under warranty).

Once you have the Earpiece paired with the Phone Press and hold down on the device name in the screen and you'll get a menu popup that gives options for the BT device. In my case the earpeice supports A2DP stereo music via BT. Just uncheck the box that says play media through this device. Voila` You now have the 3.5mm Jack back the way it was meant to me.

Of course if you use Youmail for your voice mail like I do, you lose the functionality of hearing the messaages through the earpeice since it is an MP3 file.

So I change it when I'm at work and in the car (since I tend to Drive alone.). I can see a need for a widget to shange this on the fly. I don't know how to write them otherwise I'd give it a try.
[LG Revolution] isoutsider:
I've frozen some of the applications in this post and I've been getting a LG autorun has forced closed. Any idea what could be causing the issue?
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
Question.. I'm freshly rooted. How do I remove facebook and twitter by lg? I also want to remove the preloaded swype so I can install the new swype beta. I'm using root explorer.

edit: nvm.. figured it out.
[LG Revolution] dlfritz:
I am not sure if you have resolved this yet but have you tried pushing a new home.apk over adb to the /system/app/ directory?
[LG Revolution] dlfritz:
in the adb shell under superuser type the following...

mv /system/app/SNS.apk /system/app/SNS.bak

P.S. I know you said you figured it out but I am sure someone else may be searching for this.

Hey guys need some help. When I turn my phone off into standby mode my notification light blinks and there is no notifications or anything like that. Was wondering what's the deal cause it has never happened before until today.
[Motorola Droid X2] John58543:
This has happened to me once and a reboot handled it. Never happened again...don't know why it did it....
[Motorola Droid X2] nitroglycerine33:
Do you have any led apps?

Mine actually did that this morning as well. I had to reboot to get it to turn off.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] JLG1985:
I need some help please, does anyone have the wallpaper from the Gallery - it has to be specifically "Gallery" - from your Transformer at all?

After I receiving the Honeycomb 3.1 update I went to put the wallpaper I had on the homescreen and the "Gallery" wallpaper folder was empty although both the Live Wallpapers and (just plain) Wallpaper images were still in their respective folders.

I'm looking for the wallpaper that resembles the actual design of the back of the Transformer itself - it seems to be Honeycomb themed and is slate/grey in color. Nothing but a basic looking wallpaper. I lost it before I had the chance to back it up.

I didn't know the 3.1 update was going to delete those images actually! Could someone please attach the file so I can return to my boring but COOL homescreen.

Thank you in advance! :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] johantheolive:
Not sure which you're referring to, but here's a zip with the nine stock honeycomb wallpapers, not including the Asus tree/field.

http://www.mediafire.com/?67fx97bjv3yft3n
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] JLG1985:
No, but thank you. If you were to actually flip over your Transformer and notice the geometrical design - much like the Hexagons from the "glowy hex" wallpaper - this would be the same exact design from that's on back of the Transformer but in a slate coloring. Slate coloring meaning a greyish /charcoal coloring.

This was NOT located in the wallpaper folder. When you go to change the wallpaper and press the + button in the upper right corner your homescreen you're presented with three folders to choose from; Gallery, Live Wallpapers, and Wallpapers. This would've been in the 1st folder.

Actually somebody posted it in the "Post your Transformer Home Screen", it's post #164. I asked that whoever posted it if they could share it but I haven't gotten an answer.

I'll keep looking around but THANK YOU anyway!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] johantheolive:
Was this a stock wallpaper that came with the transformer? I've spent the last hour digging through the stock image (extracting blobs, mounting images, searching files...) and can't find anything like that.

Wait, the post you mentioned in the other thread is a transformers (the disguised robots kind) themed wallpaper?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] JLG1985:
Yes it was as a matter fact, thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] johantheolive:
Well that would explain it not in the ROM. /FML

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donaldj83:
can some one confirm one way or another there is no way of opening a kernel.img to edit it, it has to be recreated using the kernel source?

like on the directions here http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...how-build-your-own-kernel-package-source.html

i just hope it fully fixes the freeze issue i fixed mine anyway with the cm7 nightly and that kernel cm7 0.1.3 the one with the new battery driver i think so far phone is going strong no reboots in like 3 days and thats coming from a 3+ reboots a day i believe the kernel was the problem
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bspence415:
Can we receive our updates if I'm rooted? I don't want any delays for my update
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
Wish in one hand, **** in the other.

Yeah right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donbeth:
good to hear! I was just thinking to root my phone. New to Android and never done this. Think I will hold off for a tad to see if this update comes out. Or is a root still the way to go? I mean will o interfere with the update?

I'm intrigued with the titanium backup. that and the terrible battery life are pushing me to consider rooting.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] asesino:
Yes you can still receive the update,but if u update u will loose the root.So just wait for a rooted version of the upcoming release n b good to go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darbear5610:
Pssh, I'll believe it when I see it. So far I had random reboots and now a jumpy screen that registers random touches by itself (on every ROM I've flashed). I've had random reboots, my device froze in lock, GPS is buggy........Getting good 4G speeds though.

Add this new date to the list of dates when this update will finally roll out: June, Summer, July, near-August, December 21, 2012. But if it gets here that soon, there's no way in hell you'll see me complaining! xD
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
that would be decent, hopefully new baseband, performance improvements, and etc. lets see what this brings
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
+1! Sad that my G1 had 5x better reception than this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
I'm very excited. From all the tmobile reps I've talked to, the ones who have gotten to sample say it makes the phone wayy smoother and performs much much faster. With this phone already so fast, this should be ultra cool. Hopefully it will cease the complaining.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
No big deal - one click root is just that - do it again.

However, I have read a number of times that rooting (and deleted system apps) may block the update. But then you will just have to wait for a downloadable zip on this website - should be pretty quick I would think.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
@gaww yea bro u know they'll have one up that day rooted lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joser24:
They better get on it before the sensation launches june 15.

the update has gotten delayed quite a bit, maybe its the duals that are making it hard for them to get it stable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
Huh? :confused::confused::confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
dual core.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] WorldWide60:
Don't start rooting/flashing or you'll be hooked. It turns into an addiction fairly quickly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheBigSaxon:
FWIW I have heard that the additional delay was because of 2.3.4 and not 2.3.3. Take it with a very large grain of salt.

True that. Still excited

Wait so I wont have to unroot before the update comes in? I only ask because this'll be the first time I'm on a phone that gets a ota (coming from G1)

I think I have to have nandroid ready just in case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
they are saying on the tmobile forums that its coming on monday the 6th. dont take this as full truth however just what they heard from store employees
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinhead:
Funny I find this thread here. I was told yesterday that there would be an update within "the next few days" when getting help with my girlfriend's G2x. She can't make most calls go through, it freezes, resets, deletes calls from the log, won't let her end calls, short battery life, etc. I'm on my third due to issues that neither I nor the representatives helping me felt were software related...many of them are the same as her problems. Hopefully I was wrong thinking the phone is just bad hardware and software...maybe it is only software.

Nevertheless, T-Mobile has already stated that they will allow me to switch to a different phone. It will likely be the Sensation. I kinda like the G2x and wouldn't mind keeping it if it becomes a reliable device after this update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
wrong thats rumors my friend from tmobile tech support got the g2x with official gb for test this week.. and this is the second time tmobile gives it to him... until they resolve all the bugs from the update they wont release it.... and tmobile says it comes soon its because their working on it not like samsung the took the time to come with the update for the vibrant
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
Will T-Mobile invite me to do beta test on 2.3?

I can test everything and make a daily report.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Yea I dunno. All the CS agents I've talked too said it was coming soon (which was a few weeks ago).

I do believe that the "out of stock" online was to wait for the new stock GB phones to arrive since there were reported problems with the Froyo ones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
When I check for an update, it now says connection failed. Hmm.. They could be getting ready.

Well it looks like it was a false alarm its back to saying my phone has the latest version. Bummer :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
This hype on the update is probably just that and is getting really old. One poster probably had it right - if one was coming out soon, it would have been leaked already.

What all this "coming soon' has really done (besides generate 3-4 threads) is to possibly slow down further development of froyo kernels and everything for GB (ROMs and kernels).

Yes - the Nightlies are technically still coming out due to the compiler being on semi-auto-drive, but there are complaints that there is not a lot of development contained in the G2X Nightlies currently.

It makes sense, as why try and fix all the issues now if a new ROM with new drivers and new kernel is coming "soon". I think TMo is reading these threads and laughing their collective ass off.

Now - if someone would leak an almost-ready-for-primetime G2X GB......(are you listening you disgruntled TMo techs?)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seihaku:
I don't know but the random bugginess is pretty annoying at this point. The custom ROMs aren't nearly as appealing when you know you're still going to have a bulk of the issues.

Spoke to a live chat

Asked him about GB improving my battery life he said yes

so then

Michael Longo: Okay, aer they rolling out the software update on that soon

Michael Longo: are*

_Kristoffer R: I will check the release date.

_Kristoffer R: Please allow me one moment to see when the over the air update will be rolled out.
