[Q] Permanently disabling unwanted tasks?

I see several unwanted/unused tasks popping up in task killer (amazon mp3, finance, photobucket, etc). Is there any way to permanently disable/uninstall these apps yet?

Yes there is, try searching this forum

And a quick search of my brain pops to "autostarts" you have to pay for it but it's infinitely useful

Freeze them with Titanium Backup.That's how I prevent mine from loading.

Check out the Development Section on Paulobriens post on disabling "junk apps" youll need Visionary temp root to do this, but after disabled you wont need to temp anymore if thats not your thing and theyll stay disabled and still be able to get updates if they come out, check out his post for full details.

Is there any difference in using Paul's method or freezing them
with titanium?

Titanium Backup now has an integrated permanent app removal hack that works with the G2. It's a bit time consuming - you have to do the apps one at a time and it does a double reboot after each - but it permanently removes the bloatware without any complicated processes. Kudos to Titanium for this, and it has definitely earned its $6 from me.

Disable location services. That's how I fixed mine, also go into Google maps and turn off everything relating to location.

I agree. I hate Google trying to use my phone anytime that I'm not. In addition to shutting off google location and freezing GTalk and Google Now I also always make modifications to the Google Services Framework to really shut down Google's ability to use my phone when it's in my pocket.
The result is that I have almost no wakelocks or alarms caused by the Google Services. And I have battery life coming out the wazoo!
Here's how....
This is a good old fashioned dirty fix, as it breaks some things. So this is not for everyone!!!!
You MUST be rooted for this to work. The ROM you are using shouldn't matter.
GTalk and GNow (and maybe a few other things) will not work after doing this. They are casualties of the dirty fix. But if you're like me and never use GTalk or GNow this will help. I'd bet that contacts sync and calender sync are also broken by this, but I don't use those so I don't know.
I used System Tuner Pro (The older version with the Green Android icon. Not the new one with the Blue guy. Both are available free on Google Play. But the new one doesn't have the option you'll need) to disable some of the start up items in the Google Services Framework.
First I froze GTalk and Gnow (Google Search). And no, you can't just freeze those two apps without touching the GSF. The GSF will still create wakelocks when trying to activate them even if they are not there. So you have to modify the GSF as well.
So go to System Tuner and select "Start Ups".
Then pick the Google Services Framework.
Then uncheck the things on the list below. (Basicall anything with GTalk or Checkin in the title)
gtalkservice.diagnostits.gtalkdiagnostics
gtalkservice.connection autherrordialog
talk.talkprovider
checkin.checinservices$reciever
checkin.checkinservices$triggerreciever
checkein.eventlogservices$receiver
gtalkservice.diagnostics.gtalkdiagnosticsbroadcast reciever
gtalkservice.serviceautostarter
gtalkservices.datamessagereciever
gtalkservice.sendxmppreciever
gtalkservices.packageinstalledreciever
gtalkservice.xmppendpointreciever
checkin.evenlogservice
gtalkservice.service.stalkservice
gtalkservice.pushmessagingregistar
You can freeze the GSF entirely with 1 easy step and that will also kill the wakelocks. But the Play Store becomes another casualty if you do that. Disabling the events above will stop the Google Services wakelocks dead in their tracks, and allow the Play Store to continue working. (Though I haven't tried purchasing a paid app yet) If you want to go that route you can do it but you'd have to unfreeze the GSF everytime you wanted to update an app.
One little quirk with this is that when you turn on wifi or mobile data, the signal bars don't turn colors. They stay gray because you aren't connecting to the google servers anymore. (They normally change color to indicate that you are connected to the Google servers). After a day I stopped noticing they didn't change colors.
I highly recommend making a Nandroid backup before trying any of this. Once you go that, go nuts! You can't hurt too much when messing with the GSF because it will just shut down google elements. Worst case, you can always just reactivate everything, reboot, and it'll all work like it did before you messed with it.
And worst case, if you totally louse up your ROM, just restore the Nandroid and it'll all be back to normal in a flash. (Get it? In a 'flash'...haha I crack myself up)
This should have the same effects on any ROM as the GSF is the same for all ROMs on all devices as long as it's the same version.

great tip on the google framework startups. you learn every day! :good:

i think if you go to application manager in settings and disable google now. its the same as freezing
edit: bbs is giving me partial wakelocks with "event log handoff" and "checkin handoff" after disabling it in framework services. do i have to reboot my phone after disabling services?

Freeze Google now as well. The app itself likes to wake the device to look around.
And yes, a restart might be needed after disabling the event log and check in stuff. Also make sure they are actually disabled. Sometimes they restart right when you disable them. I know this works as I haven't had an event hand off wake in about 8 months. Including since I moved to the gs4 last week.
And remember, this is a dirty fix! This severely cripples Google Services. So if you use those services, this is not for you!

The battery level shouldn't be a factor. It might have just taken some time for the elements that were already is active memory to be cleared out.

i had to remove that app since it was giving me a lot of wakelocks. i guess since its constantly monitoring. but kool app!

Is strange, I removed Google + and hangouts and all see those options unchecked in my system tuner app. I assumed some of those options would have been gone after the deleted apps. How do i freeze Google now? I don't see any specific Google now app using titanium backup? Just want to be sure I'm good. Thanks slot guys you really helped me out a bunch.

Apps that can be safely Frozen or Removed

Thought this may be useful for everyone to have as the device does sadly have a tendency to be a bit laggy.
Have followed a few guides and got some great info from XDA so trying to give a little back if I can
From what I have done I have found no ill effects that I have noticed so far, all fairly obvious choices so early on, but will get braver as I get more used to the handset and I'm sure others have been more adventurous than me and can help bulk the list up a bit and we can do away with a whole bunch of bloat to get a smoother ride from out G3. Some of these I froze as I prefer other 3rd party apps.

I think you should do a different list for the Google apps, the main attention people will give this thread is to find out what LG apps they can freeze and remove, most people will not be interesting in removing the Google apps from their devices.

Understood, you are most likely correct. Google Apps removed from list

If possible, can you post the real app name (the apk name in /system/app or /system/app-priv) ?

They do different things. Freezing them is like uninstalling them - they are gone and won't work at all but can be retrieved by unfreezing. Greenifying them just hibernates them but they work as normal.

I've noticed that the system doesn't allow you to disable everything if you're not rooted so maybe anything you are allowed to disable is safe to disable.

And how is everything working out after having disabled all those 3 weeks ago? Any anomalies or bad experiences? So far your screenshots give the best list of the removable apps (I'm completely new to LG so I don't know about their stock stuff), and I'd love to remove them but I'm afraid to experiment without a fully working recovery to restore nandroid.

Correct. I have mine frozen to avoid receiving update notifications. Also this is good until you find out if the new update is rootable. If its not then its good to stick with the current software.

My list is almost this one of yours. Had to unfreeze some of those because it made the home screen very lagged.

Everything Google uninstalled or frozen for over 2 weeks. No problems or complaints.

thanks the development has really taken off for this great device

So I froze most of these. Will it free up memory or do I have to delete them? Kinda scared to delete them. I have nandroid backup, just hate to possibly have to restore when the phone is running good.

Safe-to-uninstall stock apps on Oxygen Os?

Hello, I am wondering if I can uninstall any apps without making my phone crash. I think there are a lot of 'one plus own apps' to track logs and other stuff which is just not needed for me. Anyone could tell me if any of you have "debloated" your Oxygen Os? Anyone could list apps which are safe to uninstall and what these apps are for? I've been trying to find about this on the internet but had no luck, maybe you guys know? Thanks!

You can remove pretty much every oneplus app. I've removed stock dialer, message app along with every other oneplus app and replaced them with google apps. Its more up to you which ones you want to remove.

Well, yes, I understand these stock apps which have shortcuts in launcher. But I see a lot more stuff when I go in titanium backup, there are a lot of stuff like 'oemlogkitservice', 'BTtestmode', 'ANT half service' , 'keychain', 'NVBackupUI', 'ONePlusLogKit' and many more stuff. I am just not sure if I will be safe to uninstall those.

there are a decent number of threads detailing this topic.

I second this.

no special rom, just used adb/fastboot tools to uninstall - can't put links here for some reason, but just google it - its on github. Super simple, graphical interface. If you uninstall, it saves the .apk's so you can reinstall if necessary

The tool is called Saki tools
The tool that I always use is called saki tools, available on github. I'm sure he uses this also. It's great.
Just enable usb debugging on phone, open the application on pc and allow usb debugging, delete whatever you want.
Hopefully this clears up some confusion.
https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/releases/tag/6.8.1

Not called Saki tools, its made by a developer names SZaki - its called Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools. but yes, thats the link. (why can i not post links?)

For which version of miui?
Could you make as it.bat files for one click usage, yeah Miui also tend to change Apk names randomly each version update so you need to make different [.bat] for each miui versions. I did has my own personal list. Personally tested but outdated for already sold whyred.
You could make one click with options wizard
[remove extra Google app]
[total remove Google (Unsafe, for some one who want reinstall to microg/bitsGapps/picoGAPPs, make sure you already logout Google and has other keyboard installed) ]
[remove extra miui]
[total remove miui apps(make sure you got another launcher and logout miui account)]
[remove all non miui/Google bloats (Ie. Fb, preinstalled game)]

have you downloaded the program from github? Its a fully gui - click and delete. its for all current versions of miui as far as the developer has said. personally i'm on 10.4.4.0. The list that it gives you to delete are considered "safe to delete apps" - worst case i guess you soft brick.and need to do a factory reset. The app also leaves all the .apks for you to reinstall should something misbehave.

Yes, I already know for months already about it but her list is too simple and disabling function is buggy, disabled app still asking for update. Once we update it by mistake, or just changing region, they"ll back.

I'm not sure what you are talking about - i have uninstalled everything on the list here - get no errors/bugs/requests for updates. They are gone and the phone is faster/safer and the battery lasts longer.

I just debloated successfully and it's all working fine. But i'm still left with the same amount of free space as i had before i uninstalled any of the apps i did.... Makes me wonder if Szaki tools really uninstalls the apps or somehow disables them without removing it from the device... Kinda suspicious to be honest...

This Is why I said the list is not suitable for me. It's good for newbie but people with more experience need POWERUSER MODE to remove more bloats, like fully uninstall ALL MIUI related to make it as close as stock for example. Yes, I can use adb manually or use debloat module in magisk, but tools to make it easier will be very welcomed

I agree. Someone already mentioned that at git too but Szaki's reply was to use "Add Apps" from the "App Manager" menu and update the list with what you want to remove. Apparently all the tabs use the same list...

it leaves the apks on your phone so you can reinstall if necessary, so they are still going to take up some space.
There is ALSO a disable tab you can use, which does exactly that.
Are you 100% sure you didn't gain a small amount of space? I gained a bit after deleting the ones on my list.

It's good for newbie but people with more experience need POWERUSER MODE to remove more bloats, like fully uninstall ALL MIUI related to make it as close as stock for example. Yes, I can use adb manually or use debloat module in magisk, but tools to make it easier will be very welcomed

he has stated multiple times that the list to intentionally small to avoid the huge amount of dependencies that miui bakes into their apps and OS. each phone has different dependencies, and sometimes what works on one phone, soft bricks another. SO... there is an option to add apps (at your discretion) but even the safe list is not promised to not soft brick a phone (some phones the list is fully safe, others, maybe it trips a dependency and breaks something
If you want, start adding apps from outside the list and respond with your findings That would be the POWERUSER thing to do, would it not?.

it leaves the apks on your phone so you can reinstall if necessary, so they are still going to take up some space.
There is ALSO a disable tab you can use, which does exactly that.
Are you 100% sure you didn't gain a small amount of space? I gained a bit after deleting the ones on my list.

Thanks, please have a look at this excellent post about debloating.
Though this is for redmi note 2, the list of apps you can safely remove is still quite actual.
Even though my phone is rooted, I couldn't remove system apk's and folders.
I've done so manually through twrp after first safely freezing apps by titanium to observe.
Root folder space is now at 70 %, which used to be over 90 if I remember well. :fingers-crossed:
