1. This is completely off topic . please create own topics for everything not related to existing ones (always use the search before)

2. Instead of fiddling around with every app install a firewall (you trust) which is able to handle outgoing traffic and block everything . Then you just need to handle app-updates for those which you explicitly want to have Internet access .
[G4 General] sbagger:
OOPs! sorry about the off topic. I see it now. Will do on the firewall. Thanks for the assist.

"H815 EUR (wth? yes that works but.. you can unlock OFFICIALLY! its just a login on the LG website)"

Is there any advantage of ussing UsU instead of the official unlock?
[G4 General] sdembiske:
Simple answer is no. Always stick to the official unlock if able to (H815 Eur and H811).
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
...and the long one is:

There are many disadvantages and imho one advantage only: you do not loose your data ( only relevant if you wanna stay stock).

The h815 is one of the devices which cannot go back once UsU'd so before going that way think twice or better even more...
[G4 General] zxcv147:
A warning to all H818 users. I think H818 users should abandon any hope on UsUing H818. Here is how I screwed my H818 up just few hours ago. Knowing H818_UsU.zip is not provided anymore because of touchscreen failure, I used H815_UsU.zip instead, thinking it should be worked cause an H815 29a official rom can run perfectly on H818 and their GPTs are the same. I flashed H815_UsU.zip via SALT 3.1 (in this version UsU on H818 wasn't banned) and it worked, but when it successfully booted into official Android 6.0 after security warning, I can't unlock the swipe lock. At that moment I suddenly realized that the touching failure happens not only in TWRP, but in anytime at anywhere. Now I can only control my phone with an remote control app on Windows or a mouse. I am an idiot.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Yes known and written everywhere. Touch will stop working means : it will stop working. Not just in TWRP.

But interesting that even when I did everything possible that users will not even be able to try; like blocking in SALT , removing h818 UsU files, describing it clear and loud.. All this did not prevent your stubbornness .. Well congrats for your new paper weight then.. Sorry for the sarcasm but why didn't you even had asked before ? Ok anyways it's too late now .nothing you can do anymore (if you have no deep insight skills in kernel dev).

We even tried to convert the h818 to other devices when I was on that and no chance.

The reason is that the panel hardware is different on the h818 and so requires a specific h818 aboot or maaaaaybe changes in the kernel might be enough (or not).
[G4 General] zxcv147:
I don't know...It's just like...doctors keep warning people do not try to swallow a light bulb, but still lots of people do so

driven by curiosity, recklessness, etc. and had nothing to do but went to hospital with a silly bulb in their mouth...

Now I'm wondering if the only way to save my phone is fastboot flash aboot laf raw_resources back to original ones, then replace the CPU from a non-UsUed ARB 0 device, or I should erase the whole emmc then replace CPU.
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Yea lol must be something like that ..

You blown fuses when flashing UsU. No idea what hardware needs to be replaced but let's say cpu is enough then you have to flash aboot and laf back before that replacement.
[G4 General] JackyGundam:
**** i could flash UsU, but because of my faulty power button and volume down, i can't boot into twrp.

i tried fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, and fast reboot recovery, it doesn't boot into recovery.

and now i may encounter some bootloops before i boot into the system
[G4 General] JackyGundam:
my H815T now doesn't have mobile network. how can i solve this without using the recovery?
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
Requires your boot image from your SALT backup :

Flash TWRP to boot (!)

Flash the boot image from your SALT backup to recovery(!)

Let it boot

Now you always boot TWRP when you reboot and if you choose reboot -> recovery it will boot to your system

Next is flash the baseband package if you want to stay on STOCK

or

flash a custom rom but then you need to do this :

Flash the custom ROM

Extract the boot image from the ROM zip

Follow the above procedure again to not loose the TWRP workaround
[G4 General] JackyGundam:
thank you you saved my device!

it works flawlessly with lineage pie

I seen something on XDA about swapping bootloader stacks with other G4 devices and was wondering if it was possible with LGLS991. I haven't found a method that has worked on unlocking my bootloader and my rollback is 3
[G4 General] vert21B:
Hi, so i was on LP when i USU my H810 but because some roms requires MM modem which i need to flash to get them working.

There's caution to this procedure, so i search online for stock rom with ARB 2 i found one on storage cow but unfortunately it wasn't ARB 2 rom.

If anyone have rom with ARB 2 or MM modem with ARB 2 should kindly help out.

Or i simply need help :)
[G4 General] Bcoates84:
Hello Wich rom are you installing?
[G4 General] steadfasterX:
ok so... what was not clear about "Requirement 3) Your device firmware must be MM (...before flashing UsU)" (from the OP) ?

what you seems to ask for is a LGup flash , did you read " LIMITATIONS / KNOWN ISSUES" (OP) and

FAQ #2

?

other then that, backup your whole bootloader stack and modem and flash the bootloader stack as described in the UsU FAQ or use the TWRP flashable one: http://leech.binbash.rocks:8008/stock/LG/h810/20n/

Am trying to install any custom rom apart from steadfasterx's device specific rom.

The only rom working is SFX's LOS rom any other rom i install gives me problems.

Yah i know i made mistake :eek: i clearly missed requirement no. 3 which he foretold that issues will occure when you are not on stock MM before doing USU.

Everything was clear just that i missed requirement no. 3.

And no. Am not asking for lgup flash.

Am trying to make amendments by following faq 20.

I have salt backup (basic) and twrp backup before i started flashing

Great i will try your link and see if anything will change.

Note: my problem was finding MM kdz with ARB 2 to use the modem to upgrade my LP modem following FAQ 20.
[G4 General] vert21B:
thanks it worked after i flashed the bootloader stack :D . Now i flash roms without any problems but it wasn't twrp flashable though.
[G4 General] Cyanoid:
I have successfully USU’d my LG G4 (H81220x variation), but I am stuck on the Flash TWRP step, with the error “No such file or directory”. After putting the G4 in fastboot mode, I use “Simple ADB” found on the “mAID nightly” (2020-04-14) linux setup to enter the ADB commands. I tried using the built-in flash recovery command (under “fastboot”). But it doesn’t work, because it won’t let me select the .img file, only the Download directory. (The TWRP images files are on the G4’s internal memory). Then i tried the “your custom command” option (as below). Once with just the file name specified, and once specifying the path:

fastboot flash recovery /storage/emulated/0/Download/twrp-3.3.1-PREVIEW-211_g4_O.img

Can someone please spot if I’m doing anything wrong here? Here’s a pic of the error message: https://ibb.co/QdRdMNK

I lost play store & framework services. but couldn't find it on your script
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
I noticed now. Damn! Everything else is working fine right? I need to find what apk is play store related. I solved installing Play Store from here. Maybe [MENTION=3463514]foobar66[/MENTION] can help us with this beacuse i took some of the apk list from his script
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
Ok so maybe i figure it out why! Updated v2 with some little corrections
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Shawn_007:
Anyway to do it without flashing the script cuz I don't have twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Barthlon:
i also have a personal debloat list, that i keep updating with every new android version. i try to get rid of most samsung bloat, but i do like some of their features (camera, blue light filter, smart view/mirroring, upsm and device maintenance/smart manager). for all the basics (calculator, clock, calendar, browser, mail, dialer, messaging etc) i use google. i think you are even a bit more extreme than me, but we come close :)

if you would like it or if it's needed, i would like to share ideas/experiences with debloating. there are a lot of lists around, but there is no complete/definitive list of removable apps WITH their exact functions.

i have figured out a lot o functions or apk's, but certainly not all. for example applinker.apk. does anyone REALLY know what this app is and what it does? :)

cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ImbaWind:
Will be great if you have anything to update this list here. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Barthlon:
I will see what I can do :)

Do you by any chance have a document/list that clearly specifies what an apk does/provides?

Like I said, I still can't find a decent explanation of Applinker.apk. I know it's a Samsung apk, but what feature is it exactly?

Same for Imsservice/imslogger etc. I can imagine what it is supposed to do, but what features does it really give you? Extra menu options in messaging or something?

Ofcourse we can just delete the lot, as long as the system is stable. We might not even miss certain features. But I'm trying to get more insight in the individual apk's and there just doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fairyshacker:
V2 is perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ImbaWind:
That list is far from being a really comprehensive one but I'm hoping that someone else with better knowledge, willing to experiment with their device can help provide more input, but people these days don't seem to be as adventurous anymore.

You could try to decompile the apk and guess from the files inside or try to understand the reverse engineered code if you are into that.

Since quite a few of the functions are carrier/device/etc dependent, they are hidden in the software by default so even if you delete those associated apks, it won't make any visible changes to your software.

There are some apks in this list that will make a difference to the function of your phone which I tested myself from trial and errors+logcat, for example, BeaconManager.apk

PM me if anyone wants to discuss anything, didn't want to hijack OP's thread here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
i'm interested in this but also i don't want to delete every app but just that ones that i don't need. AFAIK there is another dev working on an aroma debloater https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/themes/4-2-18-extreme-aroma-based-debloater-s8-t3744608. I just wanted something simple that you can flash and will remove what i don't need. Also i didn't removed all the apps without knowing what they do (i lost months probably trying to figure it out what apk are doing just beacuse i want to know what i'm deleting but for some of them i couldn't find any description. Anyway if you have any suggestion i will be happy to remove/ add something :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vboyz103:
With debloat list make sure you review the removals because not everything will apply to you. For example, the list in OP shows Velbet is removed which I think is the play store. So be careful.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
PlayStore is phonesky. btw the only bug I found it was in gallery but i fixed it so maybe today I will release new version
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vboyz103:
If you are using this as part of the debloat rom process and flash with Odin, you need to comment out removal of the Chrome and/or ChromeCustomizations. I had those two debloated initially and rom booted just fine but drawing blank when it comes to signing into Google account. I figured that the process was using a browser and it was missing Chrome. Adding Chrome back to get the setup wizard working, and later removed with pm uninstall command.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alec1po:
Hi, i have some questions.

Will this work for G950FD model?

How can i know all the apps you are removing? I mean, i saw the list but i don't know which is which.

What if i want an app you're removing?

Can i go back later?

Thanks!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
I don't know if this works on G950FD but I suppose yes.

You can't Basically know because there are so many. Maybe I can make a list of "you will be left with" when I will have some free time. No you can't go back. You can dirty flash over or re add the apps you deleted but this script is only removing them
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] efex:
Great script! Just a couple of minor fixes needed, as far as I can see..

Weather_* - The wildcard * doesn't seem to work. Had to add Weather_SEP9.0 and the other Weather-dirs separatly.

GalaxyAppsWidget_Phone_Hero" - Should be Dream, not Hero.

Otherwise, ecellent! :) Just what I was looking for (using on my Note8) :good::good:

Edit: Oh, one more thing..

run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/HealthService"); - HealthService is in priv-app :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alec1po:
Ok, thanks!! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
i will update soon ! Thanks can you tell me what dirs you added for the weather?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] efex:
All ny adds:

run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/priv-app/LinkedIn_SamsungStub"); run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/priv-app/OneDrive_Samsung_v3"); run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/priv-app/SecMyFiles2017"); run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/priv-app/HealthService");

"system/app/YahooEdgeSports"); run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/Maps"); run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/SBrowserEdge");

"system/app/Weather_Stub"); run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/Weather_SEP9.0"); run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/WeatherWidget2017");

run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/withTV");

I also added a line to remove liboemcrypto so Netflix and other drm-dependant apps work:

run_program("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/lib/liboemcrypto.so");

I think that was it.. copy/pasting on my phone so might have missed something..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Shubham1211:
Hi there ..i have the SM-G950W (yup the Canadian snapdragon version...

I know i am doomed...?)

Since i can't use twrp recovery..so is there any other way by which i can use this script

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] efex:
This script, no. But if you have root you should be able to use a terminal editor to enter a script to remove bloat. If you can't find any script you'd have to compose it yourself.

Or use adb shell via computer (easier in my opinion).

Or just use a root explorer, enter system/app and priv-app and delete the folders you don't want. Or use titanium backup. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alienflorina:
It looks nice, does this completely removed bixpy crapware?

Also if I debloat using this screen, will still be able to receive official OTA updates?

Overview partitions in the Elephone P8-3D

[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
Elephone P8 3D versus Takee 1 (both are Eye-Tracking phones)

Paul, give us a written and video review of the new Elephone P8 3D, please. Where have you bought it and the price. What are your impressions of this device? Does the Eye-Tracking work fine in tridimensional maps, photos and videos? Does it run 360 degree videos? Is there a native app for subscription to a chinese Hub of 3D videos and 3D games? Are there any bugs?

For the Elephone P8 3D it is crucial to identify and test all available 3D apps (video players, 360° video players, cameras, photo galleries, etc.). Many apps have their own built-in 3D libraries but may rely on kernel support. However, a few of them do not rely on kernel 3D libraries. Do these 3D apps have a similar performance on the Holographic-like effect to the native 3D videoplayer app of Elephone P8 3D? Give us your list of approved apps, please.

Have you tried Facebook 3D, Youtube 3D, Phereo 3D, 3DSteroid, TriDef 3D Gallery, sVIEW, Eassee 3D, iPlay SBS, Magic VR Video Player, VR Media Player, QuickPic, etc.?

Is your device a good competitor to Takee 1, the first 3D holographic smartphone with Eye-Tracking? Is the Elephone P8 3D much better than ZTE Axon 7 Max or Doogee Y6 Max 3D?

Sorry for this long qwery. It may help those willing to invest their money on a 3D device.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] ProfessorKnox:
Hi Paul,

your post about twrp for P8 3D came YUST IN TIME :)

I received my P8 3D yesterday and I will try your approach and keep you updated!

Questions:

- How did you come to the conclusion to download exactly 3.8GB

- Did you have to enter addresses in SP Flash tool, and if so, which ones did you enter?

BTW. what a pitty that Elephone didn't integrate on the back two camaras in landscape orientation and eye-distance to enable the phone making 3D photos and videos :(

Thanks a lot for your effort and support!
