Use titanium backup and freeze them that way you can restore them if need be
I was wondering this question also. I can see in TB that there are a hell of a lot of apps (bloatware?) installed by LG and also a hell of a lot of these same apps running when I view running tasks using the Task Manager app - i.e. taking up RAM, CPU cycles and battery!
Has anybody created a list of what LG apps do what and which are safe to be removed? (I'm guessing that ex G2 owners might have more information about this)
For instance, there is stuff like
Answer Me
App Updates (Can't we just use Play Store?)
com.qualcomm.xxxxx (I'm guessing this is stuff for the Snapdragon APU/SOC?)
EasyHome (The other home launcher that I have never used)
ELTest
Font Server
GNSS Test
GNSS Air Test (CDMA) (I do not and will never use CDMA as I am in Europe so do I need this?)
LG Backup
LG GNSS
LG Health (Can't access this unless ur using the LG Home Launcher I think)
LG IMS
LG Intelligent Agent (^^ Have no idea what most of these apps are or do vv)
LG MLT
LG PC Suite/Service (Do people use the LG PC Suite as I have never used any phone sync app (like Samsung Kies) as all I need is MTP/MSC access)
LG System Server
LGATCMD
LG SearchWidgetProvider
LG SmartcardService
LIA Informant
LIA MrGDBLogger
LIA S4URecommender
Music 4.20.12 & 4.20.15 (Why are there 2 versions of these installed?)
Quickset SDK
Remote support service (I tried to use this but it told me I needed to phone LG to get an access code? Is this service only for certain users?)
Smart Notice (If you are not using the LG Home launcher then do you need this? - I use Nova Launcher and I don't have an option for this widget)
SmartShare.Push
SmartShare.Cloud
Software Update (If u r rooted then this will be useless apart from notifying you that a new update is available)
WAP Service (Is this WAP as in Nokia 6630 WAP internet?)
Wfd Service
Widevine Keybox Test
I was on a CyanogenMod based ROM on my old phone and which only had the essentials installed, so the LG bloatware seems excessive especially since you don't seem able to access the LG apps without using the LG Home Launcher...unless I am mistaken?
I'm guessing that as soon as the bootloader is unlocked and custom ROMS developed then most of this excess will be gone.
Hello
Hello everybody I am new, I recently install a kitkat 4.4.2 cyanogenmod and I have notices that it doesn't have LG PC Suite/Service...
Could someone please give me a way to install this? Please?
Thank you.

What phone and model do you have?
Why do you want to install the LG suite? What are you trying to accomplish?

I know I'm sorry, but I couldn't find anywhere else to post and I figured that it might be the same thing too, I don't think if you for example were to make a backup with titanium backup and were to upload it, me to download and restore it in my android system on my phone, it wouldn't work, I think it doesn't matter with phone, its like on windows, doesn't matter what components, matters to be the same brand (LG) and thats all.
I think! But again, I'm just a newbie.

AFAIK, (from experience with other phones in the past) you can just install the LG PC Suite in your PC and when it comes to connecting your phone it will send the PC Suite components to your phone for installation.

Thanks man but that really doesn't work... It works on older phone models but now with newer android system/phones its actually the other way around, if i went to a PC that didn't have the suite on it, the phone offered the option to install the suite on the PC

Ah, well in my G3 I was able to select an option in the settings which then asked me to connect the PC USB cable which then opened a web page on my PC to download the LG PC Suite, so that's the option you must be talking about. I believe then that the PC Suite is already installed on your phone and all it needs is the corresponding program on your PC to function fully?
Does your phone have the LG Update Centre? If so, the PC Suite app might be there?
If that doesn't do what you want then since you are wanting to use a CM based ROM (in which I would imagine that they have taken out most LG apps) and if you can't find the PC Suite stuff anywhere, flash a stock ROM then do a full TB then flash the CM ROM on top so then you can restore any LG apps/services you want.

Thank you guys for all your help, so lets recap what I need is to have the LG suite or Connectivity or whatever its called, service installed on my phone(in the app manager on ALL tab) so that when I connect my phone to the usb cable my PC LG Suite will see that there's a phone on the wire and connect.
Because as it is now, I don't have ANY LG software services installed anywhere on my phone and I have no options to select any kind of connectivity relating to LG Suite in my phone, in the stock you have through wifi or usb.
And you guys are saying that if I install a stock and then restore CM ROM I will have that service? But won't I have all the other crap services too? Or can I just do a Titanium Backup sweep and scrape them all off after?
Isn't there anything simpler I can do to get that 1 service? Like have someone back it up on their phone, upload it and me download it and install it? Backup with Titanium Backup and restore it to my system with Titanium Backup after download
Thanks!
One oroblem fixed and a new one arrises

So I bought an LG G Pad 8.3 vk810 from Swappa a while back and up until this point I had only used it for general web browsing but I recently decided I wanted to use it as a car tablet. Yesterday I tried installing the Google Search app so I could use the "OK Google" voice commands and it would not install, gave an error saying something to the extent of application could not be installed (-24). Then when I was searching for the issue I noticed that a software upgrade was rolled out yesterday as well, so I tried installing the software update figuring maybe this would fix my issue but that failed as well.
After doing a little more research I took a look at my software info and it said that it had been modified so I downloaded the Root Checker app and sure enough it said I had root access. I have no use for root access on this and honestly I know little to nothing about it so I did a search for how to unroot and somebody mentioned using the "Full Unroot" built into Supersu. I tried this and it looks like I no longer have root access, however it didn't help any other issues. Does anybody have any idea what is preventing me from installing the Google Search app or doing system updates? Without knowing a whole lot about rooting is there any easy way to fix my issue?
Thanks,
Sean

Hi!
The easiest for sure way to get your device to be the way you want it is to use "LG Flash Tool 2014" (Google for it on XDA) and download the KDZ file for 35A_08 5.0.2 that was just released. There's a link to it here [URL="[/URL].
You can *try* keeping your existing data/apps by using "Normal" mode in LG Flash Tool 2014, but I would personally move everything from internal storage that you want to keep and use "CSE" mode to completely wipe everything (except for your external SD card) and install it fresh. You'll have to set it back up the way you like it, but it will for sure be the way it's meant to be that way.
Thank you, I'm definitely not worried about deleting anything as I did 3 factory resets yesterday and erased everything anyway. What exactly does the KDZ file install? Does it send me back to factory settings and remove root?
Thanks again,
Sean

You're welcome! A KDZ puts an LG device back to a factory fresh version of whatever stock ROM the KDZ is for. It rewrites:
Bootloader (aboot.img)
Kernel (boot.img)
modem.img
recovery.img
rpm.img
tz.img
Etc, and overwrites all your partitions except for your external SD card.
So it removes root and anything else you might have customized about it.
Can someone help me? When I try to turn on data I CAN receive data from mobile network but the status bar doesn't show if I'm getting 4G/3G/H+, just a plain signal bar without those symbols.
My device is the D855 international variant running Android Marshmallow v30b Rooted with v21A modem.
OKAY, i found a solution to the problem and here is what i found :

you have to have installed root explorer for examle and you search system/app and there is the LTEconfigs folder
you can download root explorer from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846204
hope this helped you.
P.S. I hope that you will make a backup on sd card for example on the folder to be able to restore it back if anything goes bad
i doesn't work .. I have the same issue I'm connected to LTE but I don't have the icon

So, i installed kingroot on my lg g2 and i figured i should try to get rid of some bloatware. I didnt make a backup of any apps. So i uninstalled a couple apps that that looked safe to delete and anyways it all works fine, until i restart my phone. Im getting like 3 error messages system UI is not working and a couple other apps, i cant navigate anywhere. The settings on the boot screen and i can navigate through them. I tried to flash the stock rom but since i have the sprint version and it has a different file type. All lg flash programs use kdz. I dont know how to reinstall the built in apps. Help, i know i was stupid for doing this and its all ny fault but can someone help me get it back to its original state. Thanks!
