[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmatisic:
Hi!

Yesterday I tried on my G3 855 to install various firmwares from different regions in Europe.

Tried Italian 10G, Europe Open 10E, German 10A, French 10A.

some of them I installed via TOT file and some via KDZ. Similar and simple way both of them. Every of them had some bloatware.

PROBLEM!

Every of that different firmwares worked OK but what happened...when installed UK rom i got BLOATWARE from ORANGE telecom.

After that I erased that one and installed another EU rom and I got TELENOR bloatware.

After that i installed new ITALIAN 10G rom and I got VODAFONE + bloatware from every rom that was before on my LG....

Before new rom I always fully erased memory.

What the hell?

After first initialisation of every ROM my LG automatically downloads all the bloatware from the past roms. So now i am having Vodafone, Orange, Telenore end etc. bloatware that I cannot remove.

Also after rom reinstalling after first initialisation again bloatware is automatically installed.

HELP!

Thank you

Ahh this issue! It happend to me with any KDZ. If i flashed without the sim in, as soon as i insert it and reboot BOOM 40 apps start installing, wallpaper changes etc The eaisest fix is to flash the Sphinx ROM. It seems to somehow debloat and un brand our device even after a kdz flash. Even if i flash the three uk kdz, my g3 remains unbranded.

[MENTION=2151807]kmatisic[/MENTION]

root then Look in the /data/.OP folder for a carrier folder and delete it then the bloatware will be no more.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmatisic:
I installed SPHINX and with this rom no bloatware. good.

After that i reinstalled stock rom. I thought that all the bloatware will not come back.

But...after initializing, 102 application automatically started to download. More that 100 bloatware apps!!! Again...

From where they are downloaded? Like LG is looking my IMEI number and says OK for this IMEI lets start to download 100+ useless apps.

So it looks that I am stuck with bloatware if wanted to use stock rom. I tried erasing via root but again they are back with any kind of rom update or etc.

I really do not understand anymore.

thx
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
Just delete the carrier folder under /data/.OP
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmatisic:
Do I need to delete this folder after all the bloatware is installed and then to maybe reinstall rom again or?

Thx very much
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
Try just doing a reboot on the phone first after deleting it but from memory I think it only works if flashing/wiping again.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joao Oliveira:
Do not delete the entire .OP folder. There's LG stuff in there that needed to be installed. Just look inside the folder for the folder containing all the bloatware and delete that one alone. It's easy to spot has all the bloatware apk files inside ;) Normaly the name resembles to carrier names.

Then do a factory resert and all bloatware will be gone (you can re-install firmware just in case )
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
I made that mistake once by deleting the entire folder... never again.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmatisic:
Thank you.

But. Ok i am rooted. I am having root explorer. I found data in root...but where is .op folder? I cannot find it

Thx
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uniqvoid:
Use nobloat free, easy and simple and you can even backup stuff before you delete.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joao Oliveira:
its on /data/.OP
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmatisic:
Thank you all! :good:

Interesting what happened in last 2 hours:

- i installed again sphinX and I was bloatware free

- after that i reinstalled stock 855 10a rom and after initialization bloatware was again here (100+ apps from Vodafone, Orange, Telenor...)

- then back to sphinX. Tried your way to find this .OP folder but no luck. Maybe ther is no .OP folder in SphinX?

- then again reinstalled to try Italian 10g rom and no bloatware download after first startup? Still now after 15 minutes bloatware is not reinstalling by itself.

I do not understand, but now - in this moment no bloatware on Italian 10g (HUTCHISON) rom for me.

Strange but I will not complain :)

UPDATE:

Installed desired apps and changed setting as I desire on this 10G rom. I have zero bloatware apps.

Didnt root still.

Why not just delete the apk?
[Xperia Z1 General] LaosPerson:
Just incase you need to reenable it for some reason, this allows it so you don't turn into a mad man like, WHYYYY DID I DELETE IT :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Xperia Z1 General] Hell-Razor:
and it makes it a lot easier to take ota updates
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
Why does it make OTAs easier?
[Xperia Z1 General] LaosPerson:
that's what i wanna know too lol
[Xperia Z1 General] jenol:
Well if you delete certain apks then the phone is no longer stock therfore it can cause an ota to not install doesn't mean that will happen but it can depending on what's deleted so it's better to freeze apps than delete makes it easier to reverse changes if a problem should arise during the ota
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
I don't think so.

Deleting apps does not make it "Non-stock"

There is no part of a OTA update that will check to see if all system apps are present before proceeding.

In fact, from the Sony website it is still possible to get OTA updates even with an unlocked bootloader (Let alone root, or deleted system apps), it just recommends that you do not do it, so OTAs do not rely on your phone being completely stock

http://prntscr.com/47fvme

http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
[Xperia Z1 General] Hell-Razor:
If thats true I have yet to see it work for any of my other 4 or 5 android devices. When I had the note 2 and updates roleld out for it, if there was 1 frozen app the update would fail sayign it did not match the md5 sum or the update.pak or something like that....
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
True, but that may be because of root status and/or bootloader status.

As can be seen by the Sony site I linked to it has been possible, at least in the past, to OTA update with an unlocked bootloader.

Anyway, the point is moot, as it seems more and more people are having issues with OTA, and I don't know of anyone who has had one recently where it worked with an unlocked boot, so maybe things are changing in the new updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hacker804:
Hi.

I have a T-989 and when I press the power button to lock the phone,it goes to sleep but immediately wakes up again automatically.

I am running BEASTMADE 4.1.2 ROM and I experinced a crash where my phone becomes stuck in a boot loop and vibrates after 2-3 second.

although if I turn it off it boots up fine again.I've searched around the forums and it looks like a sticky power button problem although not on a extreme case :P.

Any solution?

Wow this was a long time ago! I found these by searching for weather in various places on Google, and if you right click the image and open in new tab, you'll get the icon (e.g. https://ssl.gstatic.com/onebox/weather/64/sunny.png). You can change the 48/64 in the URL to 256 to get the highest resolution there seems to be.

For some, I just had to guess that the filename existed and try it (like snow_s_rain), so I'm not sure that this set is comprehensive, but I've never felt there was something missing.

[AT&T LG G3] 3's&7's:
After watching ridiculous Antutu benchmarks on the week I owned a OnePlus One (38-39K), the G3 results are awful...even my old Nexus 5 could beat these scores.

While benchmarking is not the "end all be all" standard of rating super phones, these results are puzzling to me.

Are these scores (25k - 29k) due to the thermal management controls the LG has placed on the G3?

I have rooted my devices and removed almost all bloatware; nothing remaining runs in the background.

The battery life on the device has not been as I hoped so far and I am watching my wife's AT&T HTC One M8 cream this phone in almost every way (except for the super crazy good screen resolution, lol).

Any input is appreciated!
[AT&T LG G3] sohood317:
I got 35k from my G3, but I can't figure out how to upload screenshot on mobile XDA app..
[AT&T LG G3] sic0048:
Yes the scores are lower due to the thermal throttling that the g3 has on by default.

You can turn it off if you want to, but scores are dumb and you should judge the phone on its real world use which is fine for about 99% of the use you might put it through. Only some power hungry games may benefit from the higher speeds IMHO.
[AT&T LG G3] 3's&7's:
How the frack did you get that score?! Most of mine are around 26k.
