[Verizon LG G4] EnUfor:
I soft-bricked my phone attempting to remove some of the more serious Verizon system apps. Flashed a recovery kdz and re-rooted to find the true cause. In a slow process of removing 3-5 apps per reboot, I didn't even make it to the Verizon apps. Turns out removing all three Setup apps (LGSetupWizard 4.50.0, Setup Wizard 2.0, Setup Wizard 4.50.0) was enough to soft-brick it again. I am probably going to wait for a recovery before messing around and soft-bricking again.

EDIT:

Here's my list that took 4 re-flashes to get to. All of these apps were fully removed by Titanium Backup.

[Verizon LG G4] Mr.Miyagi555:
Can anyone list the files associated with wifi calling? I've taken the time to debloat some items from the lists provided but i think one or more of these files messed with the wifi calling. (i dont use it much, but id like the option to still be there). if anyone knows, can you post the apk and related files on here.

TIA
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
Question you guys just freeze the apps or you unistall them with titanium backup?
[Verizon LG G4] workdowg:
I've been freezing them. I'm not that tight on space and it is good to have them still there in case of.... Something. When a debloated Rom gets out, then I don't mind.

From my LG-G4, Rooted running Stock 5.1
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
Went through and froze the ones I wanted to... But one of those (I think) made my phone lose the ability to display battery percentage... Anybody know which one?
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
I am not aware of one that would do that, but if you unfreeze them one by and one and find one that did it, let me know and I'll update the OP!
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
Sorry I was being dumb. I installed a module from xposed that changed that. My bad!
[Verizon LG G4] Phurkus:
ay this is great thread OP! thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
I am rooted and removed/froze all the apps I didn't want. So far, my battery life is the same though my phone seemed to run faster, as it should without all the bloatware. What are we doing about battery life, guys? Thanks
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
Greenify is a big one I would suggest, along with snapdragon batteryguru if you don't already have it. Unfortunately, amplify isn't fully working yet even though exposed is up and running, but you can still try. The biggest thing is to go into your phone settings and check to see what apps are running and what operations are using the most battery. (please note that those are in two different places). Other then that, nothing much besides turning off functions such as GPS and auto sync.
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
Ok, cool. I'll look into Greenify. I have been running Battery Guru. It helps some but not as much as you would think it would. Thanks?
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
No problem! I also forgot to mention, but get an app that can control the cpu, and set the governor to powersave (I have ROM toolbox pro and device control that can both do this). Also, you can get an app called quad core manager and set it up so whenever the screen is off only one core is engaged. I don't know if it actually works or helps because I installed it along with all my other battery saving apps, but it's worth a shot.
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
Interesting stuff. You'd think LG would have just built this bad boy to run more than 7 or 8 hrs without needing a charge ?. Funny how they, right away, gave you a free battery. Lol. Thanks again.
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
Ok so I got 8hrs today from my battery using Greenify and SD Batt Guru. Did I do something wrong with Greenify bc it seems to have not done a thing. Lol. Thanks for your help.
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
Which apps did you set to hibernate?
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
A **** ton. Lol. I want to say 80% of my apps. I am just confused to what apps I should or shouldn't "Greenify."
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
Damn I have nowhere near that many. My guess is you have a bug of some sort. Do you have xposed installed?
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
No, nothing installed. I was 100% stock until a few days ago when I rooted this thing. I removed/froze a few stock apps is all I did. I mean, my 90yr old GS3 would get me at least 12hrs using it heavy heavy. This phone has me dumbfounded.
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
Are you talking SOT?
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
What do you mean? Ik you mean screen on time but I'm confused to what you are asking. Sorry. Lol. Here is a screenshot on what's sucking up battery.
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
There's a know bug in 5 and 5.1 that causes Google play services to drain the battery. Best shot would to be freeze it and then reset, the defrost. Or factory reset
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
I see. Ok. I'll give that a go. Factory reset the whole device? Ugggggh, I hate that word. Lol. Thanks though, I'll see what the freeze and reset does.
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
Yea I hate that too. Thankfully you can back everything up with lg. If you want, you can flash xposed and back up even the unbackupable ones, but that takes 30 minutes or so. Let me know how it goes!
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
Will do. I froze, then unfroze, the GP Services rolled back and then I updated it. Hope that fixes the bug. We'll will see in a day or 2. Thanks for the help.
[Verizon LG G4] oxide7:
Is there a place that lists all these apps and what they do?

I want to get rid of some of them after backing them up, but half of these things aren't very obvious.
[Verizon LG G4] workdowg:
I did it for the G3, I'll look at doing it.

From my LG-G4, Rooted running Stock 5.1
[Verizon LG G4] oxide7:
Awesome!

Where is that? I'm sure a lot of is is similar? I'm also looking for the info cus I'm also gonna clean my vk815 Tablet.
[Verizon LG G4] workdowg:
Look at this https://www.dropbox.com/s/tfpfbvx5utzfwjg/g3-system-apps.pdf?dl=0

From my LG-G4, Rooted running Stock 5.1
[Verizon LG G4] oxide7:
That's pretty cool.

Some things a re still pretty vague but this does clear up a ton of others.

Thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
So, I realized that Greenify wasn't granted SUP, so that wasn't working at all when I was wondering "wtf, Greenify", but now it is. Lmao. My GP Services usage is way down since I did that fix you mentioned after I shared my battery usage screenie. Thank you again. I've gotten 11+ hours and over 12+ hours last few days. I'm a very happy man bc that's much better than 7 or 8hrs. You're the best, rifievans! [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
Anytime! Glad I could help
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
Ok, am I the only one that finds the screen brightness on the G4 maddening? I mean, never had an issue with my old Samsung phones. Automatic brightness was perfect. This stuff is bad and I feel if ya leave it off, in the sun, you don't see nothing. Anything we can do to combat this? A app perhaps? Is there also a way to make the camera screen brighter and then go back to the previous brightness setting? I always think I need the flash but then I go 100% brightness and the pic is priceless. Thanks. Any thoughts [MENTION=6891779]rifievans[/MENTION]
[Verizon LG G4] rifievans:
Unfortunately you can't set the brightness per app. There may be a module from xposed or a flashable file, but none that I'm aware of. And the auto brightens I agree sucks. I'm pretty sure there is a downloadable module that helps with this, but I'm I don't recall what it's called right now. You can also set the base brightness while on auto, and I have found that this helps a little. Sorry I couldn't bring better news!
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
Ty. I appreciate it regardless of the news. Lol. Thanks and enjoy the weekend.
[Verizon LG G4] scoobysnack:
Wish I would have seen your shouldn't remove...but it's all good. I believe back in the day you could remove those apks.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
Which processes are for the smart notice feature? After freezing the apps in the op smart notice is stuck at "welcome to smart notice". I figured I'd ask before I went through the process of defrosting apps one at a time.
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
I've got a 414.9mb ota downloading as I sit at McDonald's on their wifi. Anyone know what this is for? Too small and soon to be Marshmallow, right? I'm rooted only, no custom recovery, and removed a ton of stock apps, but that's all I've really done, so do we think this update will succeed? Will it unroot me? If anyone has an idea, ty
[Verizon LG G4] jesssiii:
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/10/09/verizon-lg-g4-receiving-android-security-ota-update/

They speculated it was a stagefright update at 450MB, but I just had an mms video blocked, saying it was blocked due to stagefright. And I've not taken any update.

[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
Cool. Ty for the info.
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
Tried twice, just for the hell of it, but the update won't take. Fyi, if you're rooted.
[Verizon LG G4] jesssiii:
No, can not be rooted or have made system changes.

Also, someone in the root thread on Verizon said it's 12A with improvements over 11A. There's a root thread that shows how to root your stock system image, might try that this weekend. If I can get it to work on 11A, I'll feel safe to KDZ back and take the update.

VZW LG G4
[Verizon LG G4] NoCrAppleHere:
Interesting. Ty again
[Verizon LG G4] abbazaba:
What do I need to do to force the 12a update? I'm gone as far as debloating ALL apps and my phone still cant see it.
[Verizon LG G4] jesssiii:
If you update, you can't go back to 11A. Hard brick. There's no 12A KDZ so I'd wait for that, if it ever comes.

Is the OP list safe for VS986 13B?
[Verizon LG G4] chubbrock:
Just tried the list on 13B, now my phone won't boot up. Says boot up failed...
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
I don't have the G4 anymore, but if you or anyone finds out what causes this let me know and I'll update the OP.
[Verizon LG G4] thechaoz:
Why would we want to freeze so many apps other then bloat ware? Is the a battery advantage?
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Most of these apps and services are bloatware. Most of these services are running in the background, using up RAM, processing power, and in turn reduces battery life.
[Verizon LG G4] aclardy85:
I believe LGSetupWizard 4.50.0 may be required on 13b. I started removing the listed apps one at a time and this one was the only one that caused a failed boot once removed.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Did you use ADB to recover from the failed boot/re-enable that app or what? :confused:
[Verizon LG G4] Demonius_Jackson:
I have LGSetupWizard frozen on my 13b phone with no issues.

How are you guys creating the app lists in some of these posts which include the versions in some cases? For example, from post #1:

LG Bridge Service 4.50.2

LG GNSS 2.1.2.0

LG Health 4.21.229

LG Health Agent 1.1.60

LG Intelligent Agent 0.8.20.2

Boot into safe mode and defrost whatever apps you froze.

1. Press and hold the Power button (located on the back) until Phone options is displayed then release.

2. Select and hold Power off until Restart in safe mode is displayed.

3. From the Reboot to safe mode prompt, tap Turn on safe.

This restart process may take up to one minute to complete.

Upon restart, Safe mode appears in the lower left of the unlock/home screen.
