It's an app Verizon uses to maximize revenue potential by targeting customers in specific areas or markets and delighting them by pusing targeted apps to their phones..

I can't imagine why anyone would want to screw with Verizon's revenue stream by blocking it, or missing out on being delighted by some new bloat, but if they did, VerizonIgnite.apk is the package to look for.
[G4 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
It's a shady service that allows carriers to install more bloatware without your permission.

Those having trouble connecting what finally fixed mine was pulling the autorun. Iso from the phone and mounting it on the pc to install the drivers.
[G4 General] cerps:
I was noticing the same voicemail with no call after using the debloater tool. I just tested calling myself with dolphin browser open and it went to voicemail without my phone ever ringing. I'm tempted to unblock LGFOTA until another update starts rolling out so I get full usage in the meantime. On my OG LG Optimus G on AT&T I could freeze LGFOTA without any issue.

I don't want to totally derail this thread but what happens when we get root and I'm rooted and they auto install an update? I'm thinking some sort of a brick is in my future especially if I have custom recovery. Or will the update just fail?
[G4 General] zoglog:
Ugh, I can't get debloater to detect my phone, tried mtp and ptp. usb debugging activated and running as admin....

nm found the solution from the guide

" Some people have had trouble getting their PC to see their device, even with the device manufacturer drivers installed. Watch your device when you plug it in and authorize your computer to access it, the device should display a popup something for you to grant access to the PC. If it does not, go into Settings, Developer Options and look for an option that says something about Revoke USB debugging authorizations and tap it. Click ok. Now, unplug your device and plug it in while watching your device and click on the option to always allow this computer and then grant when the popup window displays."
[G4 General] phillymade:
When you have root, and a custom recovery, you can not apply an OTA. It will fail as it can not install via Custom Recovery it needs Stock Recovery to install. So no worries about that.

I have a Canadian G4 from MTS, and it amazes me reading through the lists above what kind of garbage Verizon puts on the phones. I don't have have half the stuff on my phone that people are taking off. Just LG stuff.
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
After disabling those app I listed above wow phone is better now. I had Google maps on yesterday for a good 30 mins drive was hot out 85+F or so only had windows open no AC. Phone never got above 47C. The last 2 times I tried it got the warning message or whatever it was. Need to do some more some of the LG stuff I really haven't dug through that but LG has a ton of crap on it.

Here what I got so far for Tmobile.

Anyone got a list for Sprint G4s? I'd like to know what would be safe to remove for us sprint users.
[G4 General] JustinDulay:
Thanks for the responses! Not sure if I have that though since I'm using the unlocked H818 variant but I'll take a look.
[G4 General] ystasino:
Debloating with this list made a difference, had to install VZW drivers from the CD-like pop-up on windows 8.1 for the debloater tool to recognize the device. There appear to be more apps by VZW and LG that may be removable so I will be looking for updates to this list.

Thanks!
[G4 General] fr4nk1yn:
Always happy to hear someone likes my "work".

There's really not much more to block. I blocked 3 more, including ime which I would suggest for sheer saftey.

I've been releasing debloated ROMs, going back to tge Droid dna, the G2, G3, then scripts for cloudy. I have a pretty good lock on what to remove without weird issues.

I'll get my 11A list up when I'm home.
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
On my last Verizon G4, this was called VerizonIgnite.apk. The package name shown in Debloater was "com.LogiaGroup.LogiaDeck".

I got a replacement over the weekend. This time, the "com.LogiaGroup.LogiaDeck" package was listed as base.apk. And I could not find anything called VerizonIgnite.apk this time. So I blocked the LogiaDeck package (base.apk) this time. Both phones have the 610B software version.

Just wanted to share, in case it might help someone.
[G4 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
That's evidence of how fishy that Mutant App is.
[G4 General] jesssiii:
I just ordered a G4 (on G2 now). I'm hopeful it will get root, the G2 is the best phone I've used and the removable battery and SD slot sold me on the G4 even without root.

I'm just wanting to check about this tool though. It only disables apps, not delete them, so I'm wondering does it let you disable more than you could simply going through the app settings area?

LG G2 VZW
[G4 General] phineous:
It backs up the package and deletes it with root. Without root, it disables the package like you can in the App manager. It will also disable packages that have the disable button grayed out in the App manager, and shows packages that don't appear in App manager.
[G4 General] jesssiii:
Thanks [MENTION=1977240]phineous[/MENTION], exactly what I wanted to know (and hear, lol)!

LG G2 VZW
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
It does remove them from your listed apps on the phone as well so you wont see them that is what I wanted. They should still be on the phone but hidden/disabled. I believe though you have to unblock them with the program or factory reset to be able to use the app again you just can't install the app from the play store. They have a backup list you can save so if you do have to reset you can just import it and your all set again.
[G4 General] jesssiii:
OK, just got my VS986 today and used uncle bobs list as a reference. I'm getting an app not installed message when trying to open the default messaging app (LG). I didn't hide anything to do with that AFAIK, and I've tried going one by one to see if enabling fixes but no luck. Anyone else have this issue? I'm using Google messenger now but would like the stock LG one back.

VS986 LG G4

---------- Post added at 15:58 ---------- Previous post was at 15:57 ----------

I didn't take the 11A update, but I doubt that is the problem.

Update: I unblocked everything but VZW and Google and Amazon bloat then took the 11A OTA. Then I used titanium to freeze some of the other stuff. The stock messaging app now opens, no long says it's not installed as it was.

[G4 General] liquidraven:
I disabled hangouts and keep getting a hangouts forced closed error popping up?
[G4 General] larsdennert:
Don't disable something unless you know what it does. Just because something is not AOSP and someone put it on a list doesn't mean it should come off.
[G4 General] bobimbap:
Is there a way to do it without MTP and enabling Debugging mode? I cant get past the setup wizard to turn them on
[G4 General] IlyaKol:
Is this different from freezing via ROM Toolbox Pro?
[G4 General] grimjeeper:
Pretty much the same thing.
[G4 General] liquidraven:
Anyone else disable hangouts and getting a force close pop-up?
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
I had it when I disabled it via the phone. What i did was use debloater after restoring it to stock. If it's alreayd disabled via the phone re-enable it. That's how I fixed it anyways.
[G4 General] liquidraven:
Ok I'll try that thanks
[G4 General] cerps:
So now that we have root and no custom recovery, is there any way to block updates (that could unroot) without ending up missing calls? Normally I'd just freeze LGFOTA with Titanium Backup, but isn't that the same thing the debloater tool was doing? Is there any way to block updates and still retain full call functionality?
[G4 General] mkkuntz8:
I'm beginning to think that was never the issue and I have a completely different problem. I ended up needing a replacement G4 and haven't even connected it to my computer yet. I still am not getting incoming calls unless I first make an outgoing call.
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
Does anyone know a good way to figure out the package name for a given app, preferably based on what the phone will show you?

My Verizon G4 has a lot of packages listed as "base.apk" in the Debloater tool. I wanted to find Google Hangouts, for instance, but couldn't. Debloater won't let you search (Filter) by package names. So I exported my Unblocked list, then searched in Notepad for "hang" (which also looks at package names), but found nothing.

I found it on the phone in Application Manager, as Hangouts, and Disabled it there. But using Debloater seems like a cleaner way to do this. If I could have figured out the package name, that would have let me look for that package name in Debloater.
[G4 General] NiMaD83:
I must have missed it or something but is there a list for Tmo?
[G4 General] larsdennert:
On the Verizon model I blocked updates via the lg dms package. It only shows up in the bloat tool or using a root explorer and renaming it in system/priv-app
[G4 General] fr4nk1yn:
I was asked why I blocked everything I did. Simply put I blocked all the shadow apps and features that are known to use resources.

I'd rather use Google apps rather than manufacturer apps. They all can be added from the market to get whatever functionality back that was blocked.
[G4 General] donbudafuko:
Is there a list out there for the us cellular..thanks
[G4 General] Guatiao:
OP, thanks for this post, I did not know about this WAY EASY method to help cope with bloat on phones! Already passed this info to other Android-using friends.

To the rest of the users, TMo-specific list can be seen here: http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g4/help/debloat-package-list-lg-g4-t-mobile-h811-t3168181
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Thanks a ton to the OP and whoever originated this tool. Very simple, yet very effective. Just got it going last night and can tell already that it's going to make a significant difference in my standby battery drain. Phone only dropped 2% while sleeping instead of the normal 10%+ it'd drop before the changes.

I highly recommend this to anyone with a LG G4.
[G4 General] broadway bloe:
Do we have a list of apps that we can debloat from the sprint phone
[G4 General] StuMcBill:
Possibly a silly question, but can this tool re-bloat?

I froze a bunch of apps with Titanium backup, unrooted by flashing a kdz, however, the apps I previously froze, still seem to be frozen?

Can this tool restore them without root? Or do I have to re-root and un freeze them?

I'm selling my phone and trying to get it back to stock. I haven't done a full wipe and flash yet, presumably that would solve the issue too?
[G4 General] spencer24:
Think you'll have to reroot and unfreeze

Hi,

I used your list, and the smartcover app for the quickcircle case crashes. Do you have an idea why?
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Because his list disabled quickcircle access.
[G4 General] 5ilenc3r:
Quickcircle doesn't work

Well... yeah.

But what package ist linked to this function?

I couldn't find anything.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
There's something in the popular debloater lists that makes it so my phone goes dormant and can't be turned on like normal for a short amount of time after a reboot. It'll reboot like normal but then after letting it rest a few minutes it won't turn on from either double tap or the power button. Pretty much have to long hold the power button multiple times (as screen stays black with no messages) to force a reboot.

I've brought this up a few times elsewhere and have gotten no help. In the meantime I'm trying to narrow down the offender myself with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[G4 General] Cor-master:
Can this be used for apps that don't have a disable option?
[G4 General] Cor-master:
Don't get it, USB debugging is enabled , laptop is detecting my phone, but debloater tool doesn't see it. Also not getting the debugging authorization prompt on my phone. What am I doing wrong? I remember on my Nexus 5 I could get usb debugging to work just by disabling mtp, but I don't see an option to disable mtp on this phone
[G4 General] larsdennert:
Yes.

You have to get the usb drivers installed properly to get it to work
[G4 General] Cor-master:
Well it says "Cory's g4 select what you'd like to do with this device" when I plug it in so I assume the drivers are installed correctly
[G4 General] Cor-master:
I dunno what happened but all of a sudden the "authorize device" prompt came up and it's working now, didn't install any additional drivers
[G4 General] larsdennert:
It can take 30-60 seconds for the second set of drivers to load and it switches to the USB debugging mode. Sometimes you have to open the menu on the phone to get the author to work. I think it's in device admin or something.
[G4 General] Cor-master:
This tool is amazing! Got my g4 running like a rocket! Disabled whatever at&t bloat was left and killed some redundant LG apps and services, now phone is running faster and draining less battery!
[G4 General] abbazaba:
My phone has issues after I debloat using UncleBob's list. I've tried this several times after a full reset and get the same behavior.

After debloating, the scrolling on my phone is MORE laggy, and my battery drain increases (Google Services). It seems like something I am disabling was keeping Google Services battery drain in check... Any ideas? VS986
[G4 General] larsdennert:
If you don't know what something is, don't disable it.

[G4 General] nash211:
Worked on my HTC one M9 as well
[G4 General] jazee:
This conflicts with other information I've found since posting. Unless I misread this, this article on here indicates root for Marshmellow is not coming anytime soon or at least a "clean" root solution? Or is a bootloader unlock part of this process for the AT&T model?

http://www.xda-developers.com/a-look-at-marshmallow-root-verity-complications/
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Debloater does NOT require root.

Please read the very first post of this thread:
[G4 General] tonycstech:
This stupid tool bricked 2 of my phones already. Enough is enough.

It does not have a CLUE what are the phone essential apps that MUST NEVER BE REMOVED.

At the very least, it could IGNORE well known CORE apps but it allows you to remove them all regardless.

I dont know what most of those apps are, so even trying to do one at the time can lead you to removing a CORE app that will brick your phone.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
I agree. Every time I drive my car, it runs into telephone poles. It should be smart enough to ignore them since I'm not.
[G4 General] divineBliss:
Some good rules to follow:

1. Use the tool to export list of enabled and disabled apps before making any changes of your own.

2. Look for other people's safe to disable app lists if you are not sure which apps can be disabled.

3. Don't disable any apps if you don't know what it they do. Probably same applies for enabling apps, since phone comes with some apps disabled IIRC.

Hopefully your experience/post and this list keeps someone else from getting into a bad state. :)

I wonder if we have a do not disable apps list for the G4?
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Sounds like a user error. Don't mess with something like this if you don't know what the heck you're doing....pretty simple.
[G4 General] tonycstech:
i knew exactly what i was doing.

What i didnt know is that there were some apps in that huge list (that i should have looked at before clicking it) that brick your phone.

Like removing google apps or play store was pretty dumb.
[G4 General] LudicrousPeed:
I'm debloating a freshly rooted Verizon G4 on 13B, and I'm not finding anything named LogiaDeck nor the VerizonIgnite.apk with Debloater... hmm. No idea what to remove now to stop auto updates from Verizon. What the heck have they disguised it to now? Or is the 13B KDZ without that by default now?
[G4 General] larsdennert:
Just found out if you freeze Verizon Services or deny it permissions, you can't make wifi calls anymore.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyle07:
Hi Guys,

I'm having an extremely frustrating time with my audio since inserting (what I thought would be a better) SD Card.

I get intermittent audio stutter on the new SD Card with screen on or off. Mostly when off though. Frequency seems to increase when notifications come through, though, don't occur exactly or exclusively on notification arrivals.

My Phone setup:

As per Signature below

Old Card:

Kingston SDHC Class 4 32GB (Formatted FAT32)

New Card:

Strontium NITRO 566X SDXC UHS-1 64GB (Fotmatted exFAT)

I have attempted the following to try identify the cause:

1) Tried different Player (Sony's "Music" instead of Poweramp): Stutters on both

2) Complete clean install: Issue remained on new card

3) Reformat New Card to exFAT again: Issue remains

4) Xposed Active: Old Card works, new card stutters

5) Xposed Inactive: Old card works, new card stutters

The only conclusions I can draw are that the exFAT file system is the issue or the card is faulty.

I managed to capture a stutter in log cat. These two lines are interesting:

06-23 19:45:59.983 I/AudioFlinger(833): BUFFER TIMEOUT: remove(4097) from active list on thread 0xb4343000

06-23 19:46:00.245 W/AudioTrack(2465): releaseBuffer() track 0x9cbe6000 disabled due to previous underrun, restarting

I've attached a more complete log file. You'll see this error occur several times in short succession. Hopefully someone can see something I can't.

I'm at wits' end! Help would be deeply appreciated.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
No such issue here, I have a 64GB Sandisk Extreme U3. I think it maybe the card., only way to find out is to test it in another phone/tablet.

I assume intermittent slow reads / simultaneous accesses of card or CPU time allocation can cause buffer under runs, as in something/app utilizing too much CPU time while your Music is playing. I suspect the former, its the MicroSD card's intermittent slow reads or other apps accessing it at same time. It is a low end card so I assume that much.

I generally prefer Sandisk Extreme or Pro / Lexar (Micron/Crucial) / Samsung Pro / Kingston (Collaboration with Toshiba) as they make their own NAND Flash and are pretty reliable.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyle07:
Thanks for your feedback. What file system is your SD Card formatted to? exFAT I presume?

I am starting to think the card is the issue. Just want to be certain before I return it. Perhaps there is a trend or another cause.

Also, not sure I agree on your statement regarding Strontium being "low end". How did you come to this conclusion?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
I assumed the model being somewhat equivlent to the SanDisk Ultra / Samsung Evo low end units due to the pricing and speed tests online.

It should still be good enough for music

even if it's much slower but I assume multiple simultaneous acceses by other apps or inconsistent read speeds are causing your issue.Worst case the card is dud and you need a replacement. So just try it on another device to confirm of the card is the issue.

High end is usually the SanDisk Extreme/Pro or Samsung Pro or Lexar 633x (you can actually get them cheap on occasional sales on Amazon) but it shouldn't matter much for music though unless you are using like HD Audio or something.... Makes a big difference in video recording however.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyle07:
Seems the SD card I bought was defective. I replaced the card with a SanDisk Ultra 64GB. Stutters have disappeared...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeknom366:
I frequently do things on my phone while it's lying on it's back on a table, rendering the lock button and volume buttons on the back useless. Is there a way to add a lock button to the home touch buttons or notification panel?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soyelmango:
If you're using the default launcher, double tap on the screen to lock.

If you're using another launcher, such as Nova, double tap the notification bar at the top of the screen.

You can also use Tasker to create a lock shortcut action and icon.

And if you have Tasker AND Nova, you can assign a double tap gesture on the launcher to start the shortcut action.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YankInDaSouth:
If you're using a third party launcher that supports gestures, you can use this app:
