After rooting the optimus g pro, which apps can we safely freeze or remove?
I froze all AT&T apps and LG device help, no issues should really appear if you just freeze. If you installed a recovery through FreeGee, you can disable the LG security and delete what ever you want.

What you should do is go to apps under lg settings and click on each specific app and click the disable button. that will disable them from working and should stop them from showing up on your phone. If they persist on showing up you should use nova launcher, or action launcher and use the launchers "hidden apps" feature to hide the applications you don't want to see in the app drawer.
I took mine a step further and searched the entire file system and deleted every single bloat app I could find.
To fully get rid of the att apps...go to the root of the file system and go to vendor>apps and have a hayday and delete all those apps. Then you can also delete anything from system/apps. There's a lot of Crap in there that can be deleted too.

Here's my situation: experimented with removing some system apps today (mostly bloatware) on my rooted stock ec05 Epic and I decided to try getting rid of "System Updates 1.0.0". Then, I remembered I sometimes use the update prl function to reconnect my 3g if JuiceDefender doesn't kick it back on automatically after I wake the screen up, so I popped back into Titanium Backup to restore the app. It's been in the process of restoring it for the past 30 min and I'm not optomistic anymore. My question is this: is there a way to get this system app back short of ODINing back to complete stock? I lurk a lot on the Epic boards but I haven't experimented a lot with my Epic itself, so I'm ignorant when it comes to these tricks. Thanks for any help I receive.
Cheers

Try reflashing the rom and you cant backup sys apps with titanium
I reccomend you use sdx stock app remover it pretty easy and backups too and it doesnt take forever like titanium

Damn. I was afraid of that. It's funny because TB restores most of Tue other apps just fine, just not System Update and the drm files.
How about this: I located the apks for these three in my TB folder and extracted them to the sex backup folder. I'm trying to restore them via sex tool now, but I always get an error saying I'm out of space, and SD maid doesn't turn up anything I can delete to make room. If I could make room, would that method work, and if so, how should I make room?

Use SDX to backup and delete the Asphalt demo and you will have room.
I'd already deleted asphault before this, so I'm sol there.
In fact, I tried something else this morning andachived a stellar bootloop, so I Odin's and am going to use sdx. Thanks for all the help!

Get rid of the double-ended dildo. That'll free up a fair amount of space.

lol. That's actually the ever-helpful Gingerbread keyboard on my NookColor. Gotta love it.
The latest paid version of Titanium Backup allows the deletion and restoration of system apps. You should see a red Happy face, IIRC.

Is there any app to back up my apps and restore to the way I had it on the home screen. For when I update or change a ROM.
Thanks.

You can use Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox to back up not only the apps you have installed, but also their data as well. It will save your backups to your SD card, so when you update your system memory, your backups will be safe. All that is needed is your device must be rooted to use either.

I think he was asking about restoring not only the apps but also the app icon onto the exact same place in the home screen. If that's your question...I don't think there is something like that, but it would be nice.
use a third party launcher, most of them have backup and restore options

I finally unlocked my phone and was curious if some or all these sprint apps are OK to remove? I already removed sprint id and sprint zone with titanium and wasn't sure about these pictured.
Thanks.

I know Connections Optimizer is. Its called something like "WiFi offload if i remember right. The other 2 I don't think so.
Make a backup in TWRP first in case you remove the wrong apps

I assume if I was to remove the connection optimizer I pictured, then I also need to remove WiFi offload as well? I do have a backup made already. Did that right after backing up the efs 3 different ways (with twrp, freegee, and autoprime's flashable efs backup tool). Plus I do backups of apps in titanium before removing them. I learned that lesson the hard way with my evo.

Very smart to back up multiple ways.
I'm not a fan of Titanium, but if i remember it right, WiFi offload is what titanium will delete.
I think the safest way is to freeze apps first. If nothing bad happens then delete.
I just go to /system/app and start deleting apps. Its usually pretty obvious what is bloat and not. And if you delete the wrong app, you can restore from TWRP.

Didn't know I could restore apps via twrp. I thought I could only backup and restore the phone itself incase I need to flash back to stock. Is there an option to backup/restore certain apps or do you get options when restoring? I haven't played with twrp much yet.

It doesn't restore apps. Just the backups you make. 5 min from screwed up phone, to fixed.

Just wondering if i create a backup of my apps (whats app, games etc) and then restore them after installing any custom rom, do i need to re-register them?
Like for whats app, do i need to register it again? Asking this question because i used a number which was 'accidentally' transferred to someone else by vodafone and yet my what's app works fine right now.

No, you don't need to re register again.

Okay. Then can you help me in a good backup and restore app for unrooted LG GP

You cant restore apps from a unrooted phone. You need root. You can it do with titanium backup.

For non-rooted apk backup.
"Appmonster" is the one i am using now. It only will backup your added stuff easily. Different programs have different mechanisms for licencing, so there are some that certannly will have to re-connect with the store or something before they will be the paid version. Others that it is a part added securely, and one (piece of crap) wanted to licence verify every day. Appmonster does not backup extra external data stuff, So i do that manually, and again it might still have to connect to finish. or check licence.
there are 2 others that do the simple backup installed apps to apk packages, both worked (unrooted) for what you can do unrooted, i just happen to be using appmonster because it was simple, and aimable to a folder. Some paid programs are not able to be backed up with it, some secured stuff .
Try Helium too. Need to hook up to a PC for it to work though. Works with uprooted.

if I root and use titanium backup to uninstall apps like Email, Snote and such, can I recover them by doing a full system reset? or are they gone forever unless I back them up?

I recommend you to "freeze" these applications and then catch the bugs, because some applications are essential for the tablet... And yes, they gone forever, back them up.
