It's just above you... He pulled it due to some issues and lack of time to fix it. You can go through titanium backup and freeze/uninstall app as you like, or write a script for us as fr4nk1yn had. v3a is still listed in the op and you can use it if you like, at your own risk. Make sure you have a backup and understand that if you have any issues with it you are on your own.
[G2 Android Development] wadamean:
Awesome debloat
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
This is a "silent" release.

My system fell apart, I lost everything on the phone, The kids were alseep and I had time while ADB pushing the ROM to the phone so I fixed up the debloater for my own use. There's a few changes, everything is 99% fixed, see below.

Bug: process com.google.process.gapps has stopped message on boot.

Fix: Not sure which of the 5 apps is causing it, I used titanium to wipe all app's caches.

md5:5ab1564f7822caed301fadce570a3757

Have a backupbefore flashing, if I get good reports I'll add to the OP when I get time.
[G2 Android Development] mjwhirly:
How did you get it working? If you want PM me
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Like I said it's a tricky beast. I narrowed my phone's no longer booting to removing lgpcsuite, something I've removed countless times.

V3c still may not work for some. I fixed a typo, updated some files, removed a file, and since it's my personal flasher I removed some fluff to speed the process and made it auto reboot.
[G2 Android Development] shaggydiamond:
The basic edition plus smartcard doesn't flash in twrp 2.8.1.1,

The updater binary does not work.

Any help?
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
A possible regional issue?
[G2 Android Development] Fuse8499:
Flashing it didn't break my GPS. I'm on US VZW VS980 using OptimusG3 1.0.
[G2 Android Development] ponkz:
D802 here, gps is fine
[G2 Android Development] ChrisM75:
Thanks for this. I removed many of those manually rather than using the ZIP, as there were a few I wanted to keep.

The phone does seems a little quicker and i have more free RAM at boot.
[G2 Android Development] albsat:
I have an idea. How about removing most of all the LG apps, which you have already done and replace them with asop apps? Making a hybrid asop rom with LG base. Could you work on such script?
[G2 Android Development] Siso93:
I can't find LG health app in titanium... How is that named?

[G2 Android Development] volginster:
I'm using greenify and I have already cleared many apps that I find useless but your DeBloater (the basic one, I still need some lg apps) gave a serious boost to my G2.

It's really obvious much more than an o/c and nothing appears to be broken (gps is ok).

Thank you very much :good:
[G2 Android Development] alexxutzu:
How you delete that files, because mine said Operations Failed. I use Efs Explorer.

later edit: Finish with Root Explorer and is much smoother :)
[G2 Android Development] corvo84:
Hi there,

Just a question, I'm only interested on keeping the QuickMemo...is there a way to have the .apk for this?

Many thanks for this ZIP anyway, good job! :)
[G2 Android Development] krija:
It's LGMyWellness.apk ;)
[G2 Android Development] szabyka95:
backup it with titanium backup
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
That's an excellent idea. I'm going to add it to the op.

Kind like a... hint: "Nexus Edition"? ;-p
[G2 Android Development] albsat:
My mistake. I just read the first post only. You already share the Nexus idea and have been working on it. Keep it up man.
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Ringtones, Alarm and Notification sounds. LOTS of Ringtones, Alarms and Notification sounds!!

Who's brave enough to be a Nexus Edition alpha tester?
[G2 Android Development] SandyKick:
great mod i say, really made Rom so smooth and snappy. loving it, and has 750+ free ram all the time, used to be 400-500 previously.

i actually love Browser, Quick Memo+, File Manager so i just got backed up and using them again :)

if in case you need you can get here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0_5-ho9Ij2xV0dpdWF1SnA1b00

Tested with Cloudy G3 :)

can any one please provide me Weather apk & odex file ;)
[G2 Android Development] mrchambo:
I'm ready to test the Nexus edition!

JC
[G2 Android Development] stöbener:
Nice work...tried the simple debloat one, smart notice seems to be affected by one of the deleted files...settings like birthday reminder etc are missing now...
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Well that makes things a touch more interesting. Confirmed.

ALL LG Intelligent Assistant apps and services need to be functioning for smart cards to work.

This also seems to be a big performance drain. What to do?!

Nexus Edition is now called The Silver Edition.

There's some apps LG got right, ex: Camera, Voice Recorder. I can't see removing them for ASOP apps.

It's almost ready to flash but I'm not feeling much excitement!
[G2 Android Development] albsat:
I would add the music and the email app. Just my suggestion. Waiting for your n nexus like version...
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
NVM...
[G2 Android Development] ang1dust:
What's the version base? Honestly i just want to know if the Verizon messenger works properly with mms
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
The Silver Edition will certainly "fix" MMS. :angel:
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Its going to allow MMS to send on international Roms with no CDMA support?

You pull that off, and you'll be known as a wizzard

Silver Edition Script.

WARNING!: Have Backups Before Flashing! Including SMS/MMS.

I tested this on a setup system and it was OK. previous test were extremely flaky.

If you flash you're TESTING, have the know how to restore your system.

LGHome is left as a precaution. Almost all LG apps, sounds and widgets are gone, even the keyboard.

They are replaced by Google apps. Some other apps that are available in the market aren't included to save bandwidth and up to you to finish the "conversion".

That includes Downloading Hangouts. This will destroy LG Messages.

LG Video, LG Gallery, LG Camera, LG Contacts are left as they are close to AOSP but "improved".

link removed
[G2 Android Development] albsat:
Suggestion please. Can you put instructions how to modify the script based on users preferences ?
[G2 Android Development] Incep:
Thanks for this, I was thinking of doing this but never got around to do it. A nexus edition would br great. I'd like it to delete all LG sounds and install nexus sounds instead, and also remove calendar and calculator, so that they can be replaced with the Google variants instead.
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
No. I suppose since people rarely read the OP it might be OK but digging inside an updater-script really isn't friendly. One typo and it completely stops working. The best idea in already there, Backup apps with titanium and restore after flashing.

Kinda like a hint: "Silver Edition", since the Nexus is dead?

Over 50 downloads overnight and no "My system is bootlooping, I had to restore from tot, you suck!" so it's going in the OP.
[G2 Android Development] hellshinoda:
Use it in the latest Cloudy G3 1.1, and it stuck at starting apps right after flash and if I hard reset, it bootloops
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Leaving LGHome in place should've prevented that issue.

There's been over another 50 DLs last hour. Anymore reports?
[G2 Android Development] Incep:
Well, just to have it said, I immediately flashed it after cloudy g3 1.1, resulted in not being able to get out of the set up tutorial. Seems like it never managed to open LG home. Had to reinstall.
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Thanks. I had both those issues with earlier scripts. Thought I had it licked but must've just hit on the right sequence of setup, installing GNL and making default, then flashing. either way a wipe would mean reflashing. it's too touchy to release.

what's odd is besides a few apps ans all sounds it's close to the LGEdition.
[G2 Android Development] Incep:
If you have the time, have you concidered making an aroma installer? It's definitely useful in the sense that people might like some of the apps, but concider most bloat. It would be a valuable addition, as it could work on all stock LG roms. People could experiment more and try to discover unsafe apps to remove for themselves, so you don't have to test so much, I can't see an easy way to actually check if this works other than keep flashing some rom over and over and then check if it worked, a tedious task. On the other hand, people on XDA would flash anything thrown into a .zip container no matter what it is, so testers are of great abundance!
[G2 Android Development] reemar:
[MENTION=1118153]fr4nk1yn[/MENTION]

is it possiable to make your script to freeze those apps instead of delete them?
[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Take a gander @ post #18

Sent from my VS980 4G
[G2 Android Development] goodmamba:
I do appreciate the debloating of stock ROM, still, deleting system apps is a way too radical move. Even if you have the best intentions, your preferences should never be irreversible that is why I suggest freezing the apps, not deleting them.
[G2 Android Development] reemar:
and i quote from your signature:

If my post was somehow helpful, please hit the THANKS button.

you should look 3 posts up..
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
There's no easy way and as I've said before I don't think aroma does "packages". That's needed. If only some of the Intellegent Agent apps were uninstalled Smart Notifications would still break.

A sledgehammer approach with warnings of what you're about to do is my "solution". I'm actually proud of XDA, i was expecting some people to complain after flashing stuff was missing.

It's not radical at all. it's a decision up to individuals. No different than a deboated ROM, If it's not your deal then don't flash.

So you know: freezing apps, even with utilities like Titanium, doesn't make them invisible to the OS and they still tend to use some RAM. ex: When freezing QMemo and QVoice they both still show in the "ring". If swiped you're asked if you want to enable them. When removed they don't even show in the ring.

Did you just call him out for not clicking your thanks button?!
[G2 Android Development] reemar:
A- I check that out and the qmemo and qvoice does not appear at the nav ring after freezing.

B- I dont care if he click a buttom or not, is just anoiyng to see that someone completly ignore from what a man just posted,

he can quote me and add '+1' and his opinion or something like that or doing a search before post anything..
[G2 Android Development] scottdanpor:
This is working great for me with cloudy G3 1.1. I did not flash it directly after the rom, i set my rom up as i like it, made a nandroid, then flashed the silver edition. No issues so far, haven't had to restore.
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Thanks for the report. Unfortunately I have a feeling if you wiped it would bootloop.

I may do some more testing tomorrow.

If anyone thinks that's an acceptable trade or just wants to try let me know. Siver had almost 150 dls begin is I pulled it. I'm interested in other experiences.
[G2 Android Development] hellshinoda:
I think the problem lies in LGHOME. Is there any chances you have it in the delete scripts? My steps to make it work properly is:

- Wipe all

- Flash Cloudy G3 1.1

- Let it boot for the first time, do some settings and INSTALL A THIRD PARTY LAUNCHER.

- Boot to recovery and flash Silver Debloaters

- Boot successfully
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
That's what I suspected. After my test lghome is still there. Previous attempts on a clean flash there was no way to choose GNL as the default launcher when and if it started.

Everything in the script was removed from my system, tested, wiped, and tested before starting over and flashing the script.

I need to figure out how to get logcats of the phone on a fresh boot. Is adb working on the G3 Rom?
[G2 Android Development] -Zork-:
Applied and working fine it. After first boot

[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Updates:

The Basic DeBloater no longer kills LG SmartCard functionality.

There's 2 LGEditions. The attached removes no sound nor adds any.

The linked LGEdition Is close to what Silver was without removing LGHome or keyboard.

It does destroys all LG sounds as well as LG Calendar and replaces them.

Of course... Have a backup before flashing.
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Files FIXED!, updated and uploaded.

Thanks LG for making us have to accept the EULA before the HOME launcher or even the home selector will work.

With that figured out I'll get the Silver Edition redone and uploaded.

In all honestly though besides the keyboard and calculator it'll be the same as the LGEdition.
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
OKay! Who's the ONE person the found the Silver Edition Link and downloaded! :highfive:
[G2 Android Development] hellshinoda:
Just a quick question, I believe that this can be used for Stock rom 4.4.2 with no problem?
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
It should be. There might be applications left over that's specific or that have different names. Funny bit, LG has typos in there!

It won't hurt anything though.
[G2 Android Development] lyte805:
After I Debloated, TWRP fails when making a backup. I flashed the debloater after i booted with everything I needed. Any help?
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Just tried. Take that back. I failed on /system.
[G2 Android Development] unseen1:
hi

is there a way to keep the g3 weather?
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Back it, and everything "weather", with an app like titanium then restore after flashing.
[G2 Android Development] acax456:
Thanks, it works fine.

Make me rom faster
[G2 Android Development] Pete Rask:
Hi fr4nk1yn

Found a typo in your updater scripts. It says "LGCalenar" but should be "LGCalendar". Just for your info :good:
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Thanks. I'll fix it even I get home Monday.

I'm party sure it worked to revive the calendar though. LG has typos inn some of there app names.
[G2 Android Development] Danny 0311:
+1 for a Nexus edition.:p
[G2 Android Development] :
I installed lge edition in cloudyG3 1.2 Everything ok except i lost lg sms application. Is it due to this, or because anything else i did?

Can anyone upload the apk?

Thanks,
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
You can extract lgmessager.apk and lgmessanger.odex from the ROMs zip, copy to the /ststem/app, then set permissions.

If I have time i may get a fix up for you.
[G2 Android Development] :
Ok i found another way to fix it before read it..

1 Took a cwm recovery backup

2 flash again the rom without wipe

3 took titanium backup of lg sms application

4 restore cwm recovery

5 restore with titanium the lg sms application

Reboot

Long and time consuming but worked.. :)
[G2 Android Development] albsat:
Do you plan making an aroma installer for this script? There are some apps that I like to have like radio, sms etc .. Choice option would be great...
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
I doubt it. If I get too bored, possibly. Don't wait for it though.

You should have a backup before flashing. Titanium Backup, at least the paid version, will restore apps from a "nandroid" backup.
[G2 Android Development] albsat:
I understand. I already know how to restore apps, no big deal. Just i like control. Thanks for your script.
[G2 Android Development] darknessmessiah:
Thanks for the awesome script!

I'd like to know if I only edit the updater-script is enough to remove or keep what I want.
[G2 Android Development] paradonym:
There's a typo in the updater-script :laugh:

#delete("/system/priv-app/LGCalendar.apk");
#delete("/system/priv-app/LGCalenar.odex");

so the odex stay (could not find file), but the apk is removed :laugh: I know - it's commented out in the basic version, but if it's also in the LGE-Edition this will be a bug...

and I like the fun with

ui_print("Conversion in:");
ui_print("10...");
run_program("/sbin/sleep", "1");
ui_print("9...");
run_program("/sbin/sleep", "1");
ui_print("8...");
run_program("/sbin/sleep", "2");
ui_print(" Oh Forget it... 1!");
run_program("/sbin/sleep", "1");

[MENTION=5368260]paradonym[/MENTION] I'm a ****. Accept my apologies.
[G2 Android Development] Nightbeat:
Why did you remove LG messages? that **** is like.. basic..

How do I get it back?
[G2 Android Development] darknessmessiah:
Damn! That's because it is written in the OP in big red text...

Extract the attached files and put, with root explorer or whatever, in the /system/priv-app folder
[G2 Android Development] Nightbeat:
Sorry for being rude.

But I made sure before I downloaded, pressed ctrl+f and looked for "message"/"messages", it didn't mark anything.

And thank you. :o

Edit: It doesn't serm to work.. Do you have any alternative? Maybe a 3rd party app?
[G2 Android Development] darknessmessiah:
Did you reboot?
[G2 Android Development] Nightbeat:
Yes I did.
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Did you set permissions? Restore the apps from your backup.

The 3rd party app is Google Hangouts.
[G2 Android Development] darknessmessiah:
Did you extract the 7zip files before putting them in the system/priv-app folder?

You should have LGMessage.apk and LGMessage.odex
[G2 Android Development] :
If others methods doesn't work, you could try mine. I write it again :

1 Took a cwm recovery backup

2 flash again the rom without wipe

3 took titanium backup of lg sms application

4 restore cwm recovery

5 restore with titanium the lg sms application

Reboot

Long and time consuming but worked.. :)
[G2 Android Development] richielasalsa:
You should make this in aroma installer and let us choose which apps to keep ..

Besides that great script ;)
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
You can use my list list and make an Aroma Debloater. If you need help pairing apps just ask.
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
The solution is as simple as enabling compression. :victory:
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
I'm shocked at how popular this turned out to be especially the full LG Edition.

After 3,000 total downloads I've fixed the typos and an app or two that was missed.

Bootanimation and system sounds have been replaced with the Android L versions, (I don't think there was any difference in the sounds but...).

If you've already flashed v2 there's no reason to flash v2b.
[G2 Android Development] Danny 0311:
O.K. If this is as close as it gets to a Google Play Edition, i'm down for it. Excellent work.:good::p
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
The only apps missing as it stands are Google Camera, Google Keyboard, calculator, and the clock.

The calculator was the only one being ornery.

Anyone have the L calculator available?
[G2 Android Development] Xpiatio:
I have the calculator from stock g2 rom
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Thanks but I'm looking for the the preview calculator, although I keep reading its doesn't work. The AOSP calculator is just plain and plain ugly.
[G2 Android Development] buski:
the android l boot animation is not working?or it there something else im suppose to besides flashing the zip
[G2 Android Development] ang1dust:
any word if this works with Verizon MMS?
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
You didn't flash the full LG Edition did you?
[G2 Android Development] buski:
i used g3 rom debloater lg edition v2b (no sounds)
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
That's why. The no sound package has no add-ons because of the XDA size restriction.

I'll clarify that.
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Mine works just fine. Through Hangouts.
[G2 Android Development] buski:
ok i used that one now everything is smaller even the status bar icons ??how do i restore the size to normal pls:confused:
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Download textdroider dpi from the market and change the DPI to 480, reboot.
[G2 Android Development] buski:
thanks it worked...why did you change dpi?just out of curiosity
[G2 Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
Cause I like it, the stuff I make is essentially for me and I share. I find with the DPI change the system is less cartoonish and fits slightly more on the screen without making everything too small.

Also, I've basically snuck and converted cloudyfa's ROM into one of my debloated ROMs since he doesn't give permission. I released debloated 11A, 12B and 24A ROMs from KDZ but I wanted to try something new.
[G2 Android Development] Danny 0311:
O.K. I flashed the full debloater(v2b) over the optimus v1.2 rom, and my phone's usable space went from 11.80 before the flash, to 6.40 after the flash. WTF is going on? Did a full wipe before the flash, and all went well, but those "usable space" numbers don't lie. Are my numbers the average for this? Thanks, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
