Does anyone have the Carrier IQ files? I tried to remove it thru the logging app and deleted them all without backing up the files. Can someone please post them, because now I have the System Manager Application error popping up. Also please tell me where each file goes in.
Never mind. I don't need anymore. I just unrooted and re-rooted my phone from a stock ROM unrooted to get the files back and stop the Force Close from popping up.

The tread says it all, So I rooted my phone and uninstalled amazon mp3 and city id via titanium backup. What will happen when I go to update in the future. Is there a way to add these applications back without doing any flashing?
What are my options to be able to update via OTA without having any issues?
I have tried moving the cityid.apk to the system/app folder and installed it from there, but it just installed as a normal application that can be removed.. I figured that I need to install it as a system application. I now know that I should have just renamed them.
Thanks

Amazon MP3 is in the Market. You should have rooted, used ROM Manager to back up your system, and then removed bloat. Most ROM's have these items removed, some still use CityID or another version that does the same thing.
My suggestion is if you are rooted, you can backup your apps and such, just run another ROM.
I couldn't find CityID in the Market, but various ROM postings may have the apk for download if you wanted to re-add it. I would check those postings to see if it is listed there, and make a directory to move the files to if you think you may need them again! Prevents headaches, especially if they are needed due to corruption or something weird.
Correct me if I am wrong, the only reason I wanted to restore these applications was so I could update when honeycomb or whatever the new Update is going to be.
With that being said, could I just downgrade my phone using the PB31IMG.zip , that would wipe everything out.. removing root, and it would bring back original files that were on phone ( city id etc.) then the phone would automatically update itself over the air? problem solved?
You could just run ruu on it if I'm not wrong

Well now I am really confused, the cityid.apk file just randomly showed back up in the browser... so i went and looked and it says it's a system app and wont let me uninstall it now... haha... this is so weird, so now I just need to find the original amazon mp3 then i will put it back in there and see if that works.
Is anyone able to get the Amazon Mp3.apk and upload it and send to me. I would like to get the one that originally came with my phone. Version 1.7.67 it is the one that came with stock froyo
To preface things, I am fairly new to rooting and what not, so you might have to dumb down explanations for me to get what I need to do. Anyway, I was using Titanium Backup to uninstall some bloatware, but I accidentally uninstalled the My Magazine app. This causes my phone to crash whenever I am on the home screen and hit the home button. I have no idea how to get the application back onto the phone to stop this. I backed up my phone prior to removing things, but it keeps telling me it failed when I try to restore that app with Titanium. I attempted to use the apk and put it in the system/app folder, but it did not work. Please help if you can!!
Ok, so right now I have a huge problem and I'm having a freak-out. I have the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4, which is rooted. I think I tried to back up my rom through clockworkmod and then it said it would "try to fix root permission" (The backup did not work, btw--I got an error that read something like "MD5 Mismatch!"). When I booted the device back up a box kept on popping up reading "Unfortunately, System Manager Application has stopped." Whenever I click ok, the box just reappears again and I can't do anything. I tried to do a restore with Titanium Backup but I don't think that worked. I did a factory reset and this error is still appearing. I did remove Carrier IQ and I read some other forums which had something relating the deletion of Carrier IQ to this problem. This is really starting to make me frustrated, because I can't tap anything on the phone except the ok button on the error message. I need help ASAP, thanks!!!!
UPDATE: I managed to access the Play Store and download Titanium Backup to restore my system data. Now the popup errors change to "Unfortunately, Dropbox/Google Play Store/etc." Not sure what to do.
Anyone got a solution? I've been working all day on this...
Easiest solution is to just flash back to stock firmware, or flash a custom ROM..

I was actually in the middle of doing that, I'm downloading the stock rom right now, it's taking like 2 hours. If by chance this has anything to do with the carrier iq app, will the stock rom reinstall that?

If by stock ROM you mean firmware, then yes.. If you really care about it just flash a custom ROM, they should all be carrier IQ free
Um OK so I was trying to remove the carrier IQ files from my T mobile G3 (D851) and I screwed up by removing the files instead of adding .bak . Now I keep getting the error message "Unfortunately, system manager application has stopped" And well of course I dont have a TWRP backup to load.. Is there a quick fix for this problem? or am I going to need to reflash? Thanks in advance.
Phone's rooted, install was success, and subsequent restarts after that was fine. But now I removed some Verizon and LG crapware and after a restart, I get Failed to boot and then it loads the Verizon Flash screen, and occasionally gets to "Android is updating" and loading apps and immediately crashes. Any tips?
Try a factory reset? Root will stay.

Factory reset did not work.
Odd, I don't really have any other advice, don't think the Verizon version has a kdz

Yes the KDZ is out right now, but I have no idea how to flash it.
Edit, do I go through the process in the root thread but replace the file listed with the kdz?
Ouch...this is why I only disable system apps that I'm not sure about, as opposed to actually removing them.
I'm really not sure what you can do if a factory reset isn't working? Flash back to stock is the only thing I can think of?

Sorry I'm a bit busy at the moment. I've never used that return to stock before anyway. Should be easy enough. it's the only thing I can think of trying.
You're not supposed to conpletely uninstall system apps when on stock rom. This will result in security errors (os checks its system files to see if it's been tampered with) and then refuse to boot. This is not specific to the G4 but almost all LG devices
we should probably start a list of bloat that we can actually uninstall/remove as opposed to simply blocking!
There is a DeBloater thread already here. I don't recall a list of what is OK to remove, but people have been posting their log files or which ones THEY removed.
I'd like to add, that I was able to get back to stock with ease.
How were you able to get back to stock?

I just went through this and I think I figured out which app is causing the constant reboots. Mine was literally rebooting approximately 100 times per day (not exaggerating)...Use Titanium Backup and freeze "Android System Webview" so far that seems to have solve my issue. Hope this helps anyone experiencing this reboot nonsense! Good luck!
So I ran into this same problem and after reading this thread about removing system applications on a stock rom I've learned my lesson. I just finished using a Debloater application on my rooted G4 and everything was operating smoothly while I was using the phone. Initially I only blocked the apps I was focusing on (some 30 of them) but eventually ended up deleting them. I decided to reboot my phone just to cover my bases and now I'm getting a boot screen error underneath the LG symbol that says "Start up failed. Your device didn't start up successfully..." I'm able to boot into the stock recovery and attempted a factory reset to no avail. I also attempted to run USB Debugging but it just reset and went back to the bootloop.
Any advice on how to flash back to stock?
If need be and flashing back to stock isn't necessary I have screenshots of the apps I deleted thanks to the backups created by Gates Jr's Debloater app.

Disregard my previous request for help I was able to follow the KDZ flashing method posted earlier in this thread and now my apps are optimizing great success!
