Because they're not AOSP. They're LG versions which I replace from the market. Just like Music.

Titanium is what I use.

Don't know why I'm nit getting notifications from XDA. :-/
[G2 General] Stigy:
Thanks - I will disable the ones I can through stock Android system and then the rest through Titanium when I root tonight.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Anything with "test" in the name can also be disabled.

I'll add those later.
[G2 General] Shootylz:
What is the purpose of text link engine?
[G2 General] joe.cole1:
It scans text messages for text that can be linked to certain actions - phone numbers will be linked to dialer, dates to calendar, etc...
[G2 General] Shootylz:
Thanks, probably won't disable that one then.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
IIRC, before both my wife and I disabled almost simultaneously, it also links to arbitrary Google searches.

Were we too critical?
[G2 General] zandroid:
Can the LG Weather and Weather Theme apks be removed or frozen?
[G2 General] mobrienjr:
some of those I was not able to disable, it did not give me the option.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
You should be able too with no problem.

You have to be rooted and use an app like titanium backup to freeze all of them.
[G2 General] electronical:
This is an excellent initiative for a manually debloated G2. Now, we just need a dev to take over and debloat the official ROM and post his optimized ROM :good:
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Blackhole is stepped of almost everything possible and still fully functional.
[G2 General] electronical:
By the way, we need more information about the bootloader unlocking and rooting process - is it 100% reversible? Meaning, if i want to sell the phone in the future, will i be able to return everything to stock? You can't do that with some phones, like my HTC One with HBOOT 1.54. Once you unlock the bootloader for the One, you are pretty much doomed as it will never show LOCKED again, instead you'll see RELOCKED and there are other issues like inability to S-OFF if hboot is above 1.44. But i'm reeeally hoping the G2 doesn't exhibit these limitations? Can someone provide some much needed reassurance here?
[G2 General] mobrienjr:
ahh, that makes sense. I just got the phone, have not went through the rooting process yet. Not sure if I am going to yet. I would hope that the ROM's that come out will not have any of that stuff with it anyways.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
It's my thread so we can go off topic, I don't give a fyck!

With the One can't you use regawmod to hide the **RELOCKED** warning?

What about changing to supercid? That makes for all sorts of "fun".

*Disclaimer: my htc knowledge is based on my DNA not the One
[G2 General] electronical:
With the HTC One, it's different. Lots of people are working on trying to S-OFF hboot 1.54 and above (it is possible to S-OFF if hboot version is below 1.54). It's quite complicated as not much progress has been made. HTC has really locked down that part of the system. You cannot remove the relocked warning. Basically, it will never be as before with "LOCKED" when you first bought it. But the issue isn't with the RELOCKED. In fact, to install any custom ROM, you need to have it on UNLOCKED. The issue is with S-ON, which prevents flashing firmware, unless you have the RUU file for it, which is only available for a few regions and carriers only.

Anyway, i think we're way off-track with this discussion, but you can tour the One's Android dev section to see what's up. :cyclops: I can only hope that LG didn't follow in HTC's steps - i don't think it did, as i see TWRP has been made available and people are successfully rooting. There aren't any solid custom ROMs that i've seen, so i don't know how well the whole rooting thing works, and what about updating the firmware? Does it require unlocking the bootloader? Is there such a feature as S-ON (Security ON) on the G2?
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
The bootloader is still locked on the G2 IIRC, it's the save as being S-On. Basically you can flash a ROM but not a custom kernel. Only the stock one.

HTC and Verizon had really mastered locking the devices down. The ease the G2 was rooted is promising, maybe they left a backdoor open.
[G2 General] Shadows9909:
Should still be able to flash a custom kernel without a full bootloader unlock using loki
[G2 General] jesssiii:
When I froze contacts, the phone disappeared.

VZW LG G2
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Here's another: 'LG MLT 2.4.7'.

Supposedly causes a massive increase in free memory.
[G2 General] jesssiii:
All's well when I simply freeze the bloat. But when I uninstall it, I get that plug & pop has stopped warning. Unless it was adding an app to system that did it.
[G2 General] Adauth:
Finally got around to rooting and dropping all this bloat.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
I haven't actually uninstalled. Can anyone confirm?
[G2 General] jesssiii:
Ok, had to restore the predelete backup, then tried again. This time I didn't uninstall any LG stuff, only Verizon and Google. Plug & Pop still works. The first time I had ditched all the LG stuff I don't like or use.
[G2 General] SuperMarioVT:
I haven't been able to get the eye tracking function to work on this phone.. Does it work on youtube at all? Or only on LG video app?
[G2 General] mike02vr6:
my eye tracking pops up but never seems to work. I think it just works on the LG video stuff only.
[G2 General] ac29593:
Can you safely disable Verizon log in?
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
If you don't use "My Verizon" I believe you can.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Disabled slide aside started having issues that shouldn't be related.

Phone is no longer doing the Wi-Fi to 4G hand off for MMS.

Quick research suggests NOT to freeze "WAP Service". Anyone else freeze these two apps?
[G2 General] Adauth:
I freezed slide aside with tb and don't seem to be having any issues.
[G2 General] bos1:
Deleted slide aside and wisescreen a couple of weeks ago and haven't noticed any problems since. I haven't messed with WAP Service.

On another note, does anyone know what LocationAgent.apk (Verizon location services) is actually used for? I've read posts in other threads claiming it provides triangulation from Verizon towers when wifi and gps are off, but I can't see that it does anything at all. Maybe only in Verizon apps? With wifi and gps turned off and LocationAgent.apk removed Google maps shows my location about 2 blocks from where I actually am. With LocationAgent in place and active, maps says the same thing - about 2 blocks from where I actually am. Rebooted, cleared cache and wiped dalvik between tests. I can't see any reason to keep LocationAgent. Does anyone have more info on it?
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
I believe it's just another way of using cell towers for location but using Verizon apis(?).

As you see it's pretty useless since its "redundant".

I've had wap service disabled for awhile and while I've had the phone not do the hand off before a reboot cleared it up, not today. R the only difference was I froze slide aside. Some coincidence.
[G2 General] mhum:
Thanks.

Thanks for the list. I just picked up my G2 today. I have applied root and froze just about everything on your list. I didn't disable the Verizon Voicemail. I have to get some car work done tomorrow so I will be playing with my phone quite a bit and I'll see how it goes with everything frozen.. Thanks again!
[G2 General] lakaw:
Froze everything in the list using TiBu and "Plug & Pop" stopped working. Unfroze everything "LG" and "Test" related, but still getting the "Plug & Pop" stopped working error. I have installed Xposed framework and the G2 Xposed module. Not sure if those are effecting "Plug & Pop". Has anyone figured out which app controls "Plug & Pop"?
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
I've noticed it stopped working as well.

I'm on clean ROM now I'm not sure if it ever worked.
[G2 General] android404:
Hiding the navbar with autohide softkeys and spoofing them in the same app fixed this for me.
[G2 General] mannequin:
after some debloating have few running processes i'm not sure about:

com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnelservice

LGSmartcardService

LG IMS

LocationServices and LocationServices (system) - why two of them?

VoIPCall

any info about what they do and if it's safe to disable them would be appreciated.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
I believe I missed Verizon location in the list. That could be the cause of the 2nd location service.

I have not done the others.

Disable one at a time, check for issues and report back.

I may have a try at them later.
[G2 General] greyhd:
Thank you for the list of apps to freeze or delete. I did not do all of them just a few.
[G2 General] mannequin:
not sure where's the second location service coming from. there's something by Qualcomm that's called like that too among all aps and services and according to Greenify the "system" one takes 90 Mb. disabled the rest of the LG ones without any issues so only the Qualcomm one and that other location service remain.
[G2 General] New Rising:
I froze the qualcomm one and it would take like 5 seconds to open my text messages so I wouldn't recommend freezing it.
[G2 General] greyhd:
I did not freeze the LG email, but I notice it runs in the background. What email app are some of you using to get your emails besides Gmail?
[G2 General] xer0trigger:
Excellent work, thanks for this! I had already done some trial and error debloating, but this helps tremendously.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Who'd be interested in a flashable zip to remove the bloat? Show of hands.
[G2 General] cmonnats23:
debloat ALL THE PHONES!
[G2 General] ruhrohs:
I'm interested in that if you can compile a flashable ZIP. Is it inclusive of your list in post 1?
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
[MENTION=3011342]ruhrohs[/MENTION] looks like your the only one.

With lack pod interest I'm not going to bother. Check out my ROM though, it would have the same results as any script I put together.
[G2 General] wm388:
I'd like this zip, hope others do too!
[G2 General] nomad3018:
Definitely interested in the zip!
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
[MENTION=4588693]ppeklak[/MENTION] your phone is still working 100%?

You've frozen services I thought were necessary.

[G2 General] Jostian:
do you guys have DmfAdmin.apk? not sure what it is or if it can be frozen/removed??
[G2 General] ppeklak:
So far so good...which ones did you think were necessary?
[G2 General] revcrpb:
These are the things I'm wondering about. Can anybody explain what they do?
[G2 General] Rodeojones:
Anyone know what SDMPlugin.apk and its corresponding odex might be and if one can freeze/delete it? I ask because I've been looking around for what to freeze to keep OTAs from reaching my phone (to avoid some of the issues other users are experiencing after getting the OTA while also having a custom recovery). A Google search gave me nothing specific regarding the G2, but I did find threads for the S4 where a file with SDM in the name was what those users needed to freeze to keep OTAs away. Wondering if this is the case with the G2. Thanks.
[G2 General] ppeklak:
most verizon and LG labeled stuff can be frozen.... i havent tested every single feature to see if it works but my day to day stuff is fine
[G2 General] Little Bigboy:
can this list be used towards the att version ?
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Simple, Software Update MUC.

Some of those are in the original post, they seem to affect nothing. The QOS, and APN ones worry me even though I haven't personally tried disabling them.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Looking for a file I "lost" I want to add to the list. It's the cause of the annoying popup when plugging into the pc.

I need the content list of /system/vendor. The specific file is an ISO.
[G2 General] Rodeojones:
Thank you. I knew there was a file I was missing somewhere. It is now frozen.
[G2 General] MakisupaPig:
There is usbautorun.iso in /system, but I couldn't find any iso files in /system/vendor.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
That's the one, thanks.
[G2 General] revcrpb:
I disabled .qos and .vzwappapn earlier in the day (they were on another debloat list in another thread) and haven't noticed any problems...
[G2 General] Jostian:
anyone have any idea what DmfAdmin.apk is for? have googled but find nothing...
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
I don't have that file.
[G2 General] AL_IRAQI:
Hi

I can make CWM zip to remove all the files in the list if you want

BTW

I made barebone Rom for g2 only 550Mb

I removed all LG apps

And other files and folders
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
If you want to the the time there's a few that would like it. There's a few more I need to add, but not many, to the OP.

From the lack of response I decided not to take the time especially when I have a debloated ROM that could easily be dirty flashed.
[G2 General] Jostian:
where can one get the barebones ROM? sounds nice and lite.
[G2 General] AL_IRAQI:
I'll post it later in d802 section

I have learn more things about LG software now :)

Ok I'll leave it

I'll focus on my Rom now
[G2 General] Jostian:
yes please add your rom, sounds nice and lite.
[G2 General] kidrobot52:
Dude do you mind pm'ing me what you are using to make your ROM. Want to make a personal debloated ROM for my wife and I.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Just use 7-Zip.
[G2 General] switchgott:
Please, this would realy nice.

Could you give us your small barebone rom?

BIG THANKS!
[G2 General] Fastbird:
Pardon me for being late to the party. New G2 user, currently slowly removing bloat via uninstall in Titanium Backup. Have ONLY uninstalled verizon specific installed apps, and other things I KNOW are apps.

I'm curious, all of the com.xxx.xxxxx files that say "Test".......what exactly does the "test" denotation mean?
[G2 General] greyhd:
You can freeze those "test" files as well. I did that and the phone works fine.
[G2 General] Fastbird:
I know you can freeze them/remove them but my inquiring mind just is wondering what they do or did, and why they were still present. I'm the type that likes to know exactly what I'm doing and why before I do it.
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
Not sure but i removed every single one from my ROM and it send to make no difference, besides running better from the comments left in the thread.
[G2 General] ftn1975:
I know this is old, but might help someone.

I am not sure of all the apps affected by disabling this, but I have found that Quick Remote will not work without it. Thanks for this list though, it is quite helpful.
[G2 General] bigsnack:
What is LGATCMD-Service, LGTTS+, LGInstall Service and Widevine Keybox for? Disabling these won't affect performance or battery life would they?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seagood3:
I am not sure if this is a legit complaint, but sometimes I don't use my N10 for a few days and my tablet will be completely drained. I really only use my tablet for some general browsing/emails/videos. I generally turn off all automatic updates/notifications/etc as I know I may go days between use and want to conserve as much battery life as possible.

With that said I have noticed lately that my entire battery will drain after 3-5 days even if I am not using. Is that just the case? Or should I expect to not lose too much battery when inactive. I looked and 90% of the batter drain was the Android OS.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1281511:
Hi,

The same problem just happen to me. I've fully charged my tab yeaster day night and I found her with only 14% left. Didn't use it the last 23 hours.

WTF!

I've attached a screenshot
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
When your N10 is sleeping, you still have several things happening such as looking for updates, synchronizing RSS feeds (like your greader), WIFI connection and communication. By looking at the programs that consume the most battery during those times, you can start tackling them 1 by 1. There are a few apps that will help with battery life and to reduce drain. You can also try turning WIFI off when not in use and you don't want updates. You can also change your WIFI - Advanced settings to Keep WIFI on during sleep only when you are plugged in. You can google battery life during sleeps as there are lots of threads about this topic, which is more Android related than N10.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Just like SmokinCharger said there are other apps running, try turning off Sync initially and don't forget to turn off WiFi, this may save a little your battery, if it doesn't try uninstalling some apps that may cause this, like Facebook.

That graph looks exactly like a wakelock going on all the time and your tablet never actually sleeps. OP probably has the exact same problem.

My own personal Nexus 10 will lose about 1% battery every 20 days when sleeping.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seagood3:
Thanks for the help. I really do t use that many apps and don't have Facebook. I have attached some pics. Media server is using all my battery? I even turned my wifi off while sleeping.

Any other ideas?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
Do you have your N10 set as a media server? If not, media server could be just looking for changes in your N10 in order to have media available - i.e. downloaded a jpg and to show up in Gallery. I believe there is a setting to not allow it to auto detect, but I don't remember where in the settings it is.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seagood3:
Don't have it set up as a media server. Like I said I really don't use it too much.

Enigma - you only lose 1 percent? How is yours set up?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
While i may not say there is a wakelock, you can clearly see that because the app has been on and running for over 14 hours time that that process is what is causing the wakelock and draining all your battery. I forget how to fix the media scanner thing, I know I have seen it before in the forum for the Galaxy nexus, which was my old phone. What Media Scanner is is the process that scans your storage for files so that it has an index of what is on the device and so it can display the files and folders for you in Windows. most likely Media Scanner is stuck on a specific file and cant get past it so the process is staying on forever.

My personal setup is the RaSaber ROM (not available anymore) 4.2.2 and KTManta kernel (whatever the last 4.2.2 version was). I probably will never upgrade to 4.3 because this setup is perfectly smooth and the only bugfix that 4.3 brings that I would ever care about does not matter to me since I never hit the bug (playing video in specific apps using hardware rendering). I mainly use my tablet for games and book reading on trips, so it goes long periods without use these days. I never charge it in between because I know it will still have basically the same exact battery level as I left it whenever the next time I pick up the tablet is. I posted some screenshots before in some other thread a while back because no one believed me on the battery life. I went something like 70 or so days of idle and was at 97 or 98% still, then went on to use it for gaming and got like 7 hours of screen on time still before I needed to charge the thing.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Your tablet is searching for more media, maybe you can check the settings and see if there's anything set up to be syncing. Also you can try installing another ROM to check.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joakim_one:
I had a similar problem, after upgrading to Android 4.3 a couple months back. The battery seemed to run down much quicker when the screen was turned off. However, the problem seems to have gone away now. I'm not sure if there was some media scan or whatever running in 4.3 that finally finished or if it was a webpage I had loaded in my browser that kept refreshing itself. See if you can reproduce the problem with all browsers, email, video players turned off. Check the app switcher to make sure nothing is loaded. If so, the problem might be in the OS itself. Maybe it will go away with time, as it did for me. :victory:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

You can try leaving it off, the battery will stand by then :). And as Nexus 10 boots really fast you won't see any problems (mine has 2GB free and booted in 20-25sec).

Hope this suggestion helps :),

I found this in relation to this topic on a different site:

"All you need to reset is that media scanner: Settings > Apps > All > Media Storage: Force stop & Clear data. Then, reboot."

Most people seem to think this works. In a follow up, someone posted this:

"I had the same problem and none of these fixes worked. It turns it that my Spotify was the problem. It had crashed and could not find the media files i had downloaded. I uninstalled Spotify and that solved the problem"

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] husen4u:
Hi Guys,

I Found Two Firmware For p6-u06 I Am Little Confused Which One Is Latest.

1 : http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=182258

Version : B116SP01

Release Date : 21/8/13

2. http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=192149&extra=page=1

Version : B115SP04

Release Date : 10/9/13

Help Me Guys Which One I Install For Latest Firmware?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] customromfan:
Latest firmware should be B116 - as far as I understand the Huawei firmware numbers.

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

I guess B115SP04 is just an improvement of B115, like CM10.1.3 for CM10.1. And B116 is a higher version with maybe additional functions, like CM10.2 instead of CM10.1.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] GalaxySIIII:
I tried that second one and it showed error .. after being updated ..
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] husen4u:
Thanks A Lot Dear Friends.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] amoose:
The second one is for the T model P6, not the U06 model, the two aren't interchangeable on firmware. You can flash the European/International or Chinese ROMs onto the U model but if you look at the firmware version they both start with the correct U branding.

e.g.

First link - P6-U00_EmotionUI_1.6_V100R001C17B116SP01.zip - OK

Second link P6-T00_EmotionUI_1.6_V100R001C01B115SP02.zip - won't work on U06 model.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] husen4u:
B116 Is Stable Or Not??

What You Guys Prefer B111 Or B116???
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] amoose:
B116 and B111 are both stable - Huawei have gone for really strange version numbering. B111 is the international ROM (comes with Google apps, no Chinese apps), B116 is the Chinese version (still English text but no Google apps unless you add them yourself and a few Chinese apps). They should have gone for I000 for international ROM numbering and C000 for Chinese or something else logical in my opinion.

For what it's worth, I'm running B116SP01 as my daily driver with no complaints. Rooted, Chinese apps removed, Google apps restored. I had some problems when I installed it by running the update from within Android but none when reflashed using the forced recovery method.
