I have heard of people running into the LG Security boot errors when uninstalling Google apps. I am wondering if the bloatware rogers ones are safe to remove?
Do not remove anything if you haven't installed Project FreeGee to unlock your bootloader and remove security check.

Wow even by just freezing them? I thought for sure that would of been an easy work around of making them go away from being shown at least

so did i, other people have frozen apps without issue tho, maybe it was a mistake on my part, you can always hide the apps by installing a custom launcher such as Nova or Apex i believe both of these have a option to hide the apps from the application tray

So being the impatient soul I am, right after I got permanent root, I decided to jump into Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware. I was so impatient, that I totally forgot to backup the system apps I deleted to a backup folder on my SDcard, so now those apks are gone. My question is now, if an OTA becomes available, am I going to have problems again, just like with Paul's Goggles app?
If so, what do you suggest I do? I am guessing now that now root has been achieved, we can install those apps to the system just fine again. Can someone upload these apks for these system apps, so I just feel on the safe side and I have backups? I would greatly appreciate it...

Of course, if you don't see this as being a problem for the future, please tell me. It would make me feel a lot more secure about things. Thanks!
it shouldnt be a problem, you can re download those in the market
Goddamn it. Now I went to uninstall Email.apk to replace it with an old one that doesn't require remote security, but it keeps giving me an "Application not installed" error, even with the backup of the original.
How do I get it to install?!

You don't install system apps, you just move then into /system/app/
its likely if an OTA becomes available a dev will mod it to be flashable to rooted and modified /system/ devices

Okay, I feel much better now. Time to play around with this thing! So excited!
Yea if an ota comes out, it will be modded to update the system and skip files not found, if there is a patch.
So your good. I'm just waiting for custom recovery with nandbackup before I start messing n the system. I just hate setting up the phone all over after
And if all else fails you can fastboot flash system.img from the orig pc10img. Wiping all your data and formating ur system. Then updating to ota.

Just use Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps you want. Long click on the app, and an uninstall option will be there.

Ok, the notification was still there so thought i would try the update via my PC, it failed on numerous occasions so i gave up.
The notification is still there though
Just force close the app. It's a temp solution that would need to be repeated each time you reboot your phone.

Why don't you freeze the update service in titanium backup, no pesky notification and you can defrost it when a new update comes out

Also its only on the paid version now. Unless you have 3.99 to get it you won't be able to freeze. I don't know why they took that feature away from us the stingy b**tards. I have the same problem but I just did it a different way. I made a backup using TB and then uninstalled it using TB. nd now is all good. Why take the freeze feature. Not everyone has 3.99 to spare now days. Especially when we have bills and shopping to pay. Grrrrrrr

I'm a bit confused about how to avoid problems after unrooting and trying to do an OTA update.
Is it ok to uninstall ANY preinstalled apps? I understand the dangers of uninstalling system apps after rooting....but is it ok to uninstall other bloatware like TripAdvisor and games which come with their own uninstaller and can be uninstalled even without rooting?

The general rule (which I learned the hard way) is to freeze system apps instead of uninstalling them. That way if you get any force close errors or problems you can unfreeze them right away. For example, uninstalling WhatsNext caused my camera to stop working properly.

Yeah, I uninstalled TripAdvisor and Omlet Chat and Dr Virus (or whatever), etc as soon as I turned on the device. Anything included app that allows to to uninstall it normally through the launcher can be uninstalled safely.

Well, my phone is rooted and has xposed installed, so I haven't tried installing an OTA update yet. Too lazy to unroot and uninstall xposed. I think I'm going to wait for a few more updates to roll by and then do them all at once.
Anyone know how to disable OTAS after Root?
I'm searching for the same info!

There's numerous threads on this with using some debloater tool, but I want to know the specific process myself to freeze it.

I'm on the same boat. Looking for which files I can freeze using Titanium Backup.
Yay for root coming out! Now let the discovering and tinkering begin
EDIT:
So far, freezing this apk seems to do it?: LGDMSClient.apk

I froze both OTA update processes via TiBu, when running the check for update feature I get an error so hopefully that's all that's needed.

Yup...this one did the trick in TiBu the icon is "Update Center 4.50.11" (no quotes).

I'm not rooted. But that is the apk I Debloated to block updates. It quietly kept the 611A update away for a week.
And when I went to accept 611A, as soon as I un-blocked LGDMSClient.apk, the update immediately started downloading again.

this is under system/priv-app/LGDMSClient(folder)/LGDMSClient.apk
Should we remove that apk? Or the whole folder? Or just freeze the Update Center on tibu.

I ended up using Titanium Backup to just free the service that includes that APK.
Its named: System updates 1_14_10_0
Just freeze that if you have TB and then restart and you are good to go. If you try to do System updates on your phones settings, "Activity is not exist this device" now pops up.

If you froze it, then you should get an error when you check for software updates. It means your phone will not automatically check for updates either.

Exactly, I was stating that a good way to check is to attempt to check for updates. Sorry if it came across as me thinking something was wrong.
Ooops, I should have also stated that getting the error is a good thing and not an indication that something is messed up
quick question i got the system updates 1_14_10_0 frozen in TiBu. But when I filter search update its comes up a third apk called configupdater5.1-17437 the permission on this apk is. Download files without user notification and run at start up. I've currently frozen this apk with no side effects that i can tell
I love the translation.

Sorry to bump a dead thread but I have System updates listed twice. I froze both and when I click the check for software updates, settings force close. Seems to be only on that setting. Is it normal though? Did anyone have it listed twice?
I have two listed and froze both, I'm not having any issues with force closing just getting the same toast notification that the service doesn't exist.
I went a little too far with removing some of the default LG apps after rooting and I'm getting odd issues now. I'd like to reinstall apps vs. reimage the stock setup if possible.
Does anyone know where I can grab all the stock apps for the G4?
If you install LG Smartworld, you can download all the LG apps again.
it's also accessible here: http://www.lgappstv.com/
Thanks for the suggestion but it looks like the applications I need aren't in this store. So far it looks like I need to reinstall LG Lifetracker, LG Backup and LG Air drive.

There is somewhere you can download them. I thought it was that app. it must be another LG app somewhere, because I had to use it to download and install the FM Radio app.
Found it!
Settings - About Phone - Update Centre - Software Update.
Your missing apps are in there for download
It claims all apps are installed. I wonder if I didn't fully delete the apps with Tibu so it thinks I still have them.

Why don't you just reapply the rooted system.IMG you used while rooting. That will give you all your apps back
I tried that and it didn't for whatever reason.

I almost wonder if perhaps you had frozen the apps at some point prior to uninstalling them cause if you did, when you reinstall stuff tibu would pick up that you want them frozen and they would be gone again. Flashing the system installs all the crap that's included in stock so this is the only logical reason I can think of that would be causing your issue
