Hi All.
After a few days of hard work and a few times of (i don't remember how many) reflashing stock rom, i have made a complete list of safely disabled (remove or freeze its up to you) bloatware on my Droid Razr m KK lates OTA update. (Obviously this was made possible with the help of HYDROGEN PER OXIDE thanks to HYDROGEN & SERG_GANGUBAS). I have seen some other topics here on XDA about debloating M but i think those lists are incomplete. Also this is the first time i am creating a new thread on any forum so my apologies if something i did wrong. So here goes...

I have not disabled Playstore related apps and services because they are needed obviously. But you can delete them just in case. Plus, by deleting all these apps, i cannot use PIN or PASSWORD lock. Pattern is working fine and i haven't found the culprit yet. Everything else is working fine. I had almost 500mb free RAM after doing this(no apps installed through playstore yet).
Did i miss something? Please mention. Needless to say you can keep the apps that you want to use. Hopefully i helped...
**EDIT**
Don't disable VPN Dialogs if you use a VPN app. The app will not work i.e. it won't connect to the servers.
More Apps added in first post.
One more thing i would like to share with you guys from my experience, just in case someone finds it useful.
If you guys are deleting bloat for more storage space, then its fine. But if storage is not an issue and you're doing it for battery saving only, then i think keeping all the bloat and installing donate version of Greenify and Greenifying everything is far better option than deleting the apps because deleting the bloat causes the phone to lag and sometimes FC's. When i deleted all the bloatware, for sure i was having more free ram but i didn't notice a substantial gain in battery life. Now my phone is back in original state and i have greenified everything and now my battery gives me 1 hour more of SCREEN ON time. I am not sure if it will be the same for everyone. Just my 2 cents...
My personal list for Debloater. Aggressive )

I ran into a "security error" upon rebooting after having removed "the usual suspect". Had to go back to stock. Any idea what i shouldn't have uninstalled?
I've been disabling a bunch of apps on my H815T, and a few of them caused issues:
• Disabling "LG System Server" caused Swiftkey and a number of other keyboards to have a huge amount of delay from input (Google Keyboard and the LG keyboard seemed fine).
• Uninstalling Hangouts with Titanium Backup seemed to cause random crashes, but disabling it is fine.
• Disabling one of the "Phone" apps caused it to say "SIM card not detected", but disabling the "Call" app seems fine (you can disable it if you use a different dialer app).
• Disabling Contacts Storage prevents contacts in other apps from working
nmkhoi
Xt9dictionary remove then keyboard don't work
I compiled a list of stuff i removed here. So far my phone has been working fine.
I'm sure there is other things i can remove.

On earlier phones, removing Hangouts caused 3rd party SMS messaging apps not to work right, so can anyone confirm that G4 does not require it?
Ye can confirm. H815 EU GER
Removing stock keyboard, launcher and setup wizard is not recommended since after a factory reset its hardly possible to set up the phone because all data/apps are gone.
I froze pretty much everything on this list using titanium backup on a rooted h811 but some programs are still running like My Places Engine even after reboot according to OS monitor. Am I doing something wrong?

I usually just flash kdz if I need to wipe.
I' m glad to say that this debloatlist make the coffee. I removed most of LG & google apps on MM and I notice the phone running smoother and is better reactive.
However I'm actually disapointed of MM than LP. The LG stock rom (I use V20b) drain to much battery in standby than LP which is ironic cause MM has to be more efficient with the doze mode.
Doze mode seems not to work at this point.
If forthcoming LG rom are not more optimised, I'm going to really ask for his replacement by cyanogen rom. I prefer a pure android experience like my last phone, my nexus 4. But I would like to keep the LG camera app.

thx for your list (http://justynsmith.info/slim-debloat-lg-g4-improve-camera).
I have tried it yesterday on my lg g4 with MM (6.0.0 -> Genisys 3.7 Rom).
After debloating all works as it should, except that on every boot the lockscreen wallpaper was reset to the default one.
Any hints which removed apps causes this issue?
thx

I have now used the debloater application and retried it after a twrp restore.
Attached is the blocked list (based on yours) which now works without the described issue.
!! ATTENTION !! You must have an alternativ keyboard and launcher installed or uncheck LGIME and SmartHome!!!!!

Here are some screenshots of my disabled apps list.
So far I have been running with improved battery life and performance.
If you try this with your phone please let me know your results.
List of apps I uninstalled:
1. Android Pay (because it doesn't support my bank)
2. Chrome ( I use Firefox because I hate ads & tracking cookies)
3. Device Unlock
4. Docs
5. Google Play Movies & TV
6. Google Play Music
7. Google Play Newstand
8. Hangouts
9. Sheets
10. Slides
11. T-Mobile Name ID
Disable Steps (not sure if all of these make a difference but its been great for me so far)
1. Disable the apps on this list
2. Went into each individual app and cleared the data and cache for improved storage.
3. Force quit all apps still listed as running.
4. Reboot
I only have Calendar, Device Unlock, Gmail, Hangouts, Lookout, Music, and Name ID disabled. The other LG apps I uninstalled.
So you can disable stock calendar on tmobile version?
god I need to take a few minutes & go through & do this for mine. All of the LG stuff needs to go, but I have to admit I love Name ID & will wait to kill the unlock app till my 40 days is up & I unlock mine.
I despise the tmobile app. The iOS version is leaps and bounds better and actually useful.
How do you disable the apps?

Why freeze or uninstall device unlock?
I'm not in the US so I don't need a lot of the apps that came with this phone - the others I have disabled are apps I don't really want active on my phone or apps that I don't use...
I've disabled:
Android Pay (doesn't work where I am)
Chrome (I use Orfox or Firefox)
Cloud Print
com.facebook.appmanager (I don't have facebook)
Device Unlock (I bought the phone used and unlocked)
Email
Gmail (I use protonmail)
Google App
Google Play Movies & TV
Google Play Music
Hangouts
Lookout
Maps (I rarely use it. If I absolutely need to use it, I'll use the web version)
Mobile Hotspot
Photos
Quick Help
T-Mobile
T-Mobile Name ID
Voice Recorder
I've removed a lot of permissions on most of the apps that I still use with App Ops, and I have also disabled background data on 99% of these apps + I have installed DroFirewall (this seems to be the firewall that works best on this phone in my experience) to block internet access for all the apps that have no business going online.
I love this phone, and now that I have root I can finally use it as I want. (I used to have the F700K and was never able to root it so I ditched it and went for the H830 as root is a must have for me,)

Hi all,
i was working on a guide on the vast amount of packages that we find already installed on EMUI by default and safe to remove because i'm sure that it would be useful for users like me, users that doesn't like to have space occupied on internal storage by bloat software, space that could be useful for many other things. So i decided to make a list with all the packages and their relative details about how each package listed here works on system, in way to advice and let you take the final choice by yourself about what to do with a package, remove it or not.
The first thing that i say, is BACKUP. Make always a TWRP backup, before doing everything that you don't clearly know. It's a safety reason, you MUST have a valid and clean backup before trying to remove packages or system apps, because the danger is always behind the corner. I say this for experience :silly:
For making things easier, i'll colour in red packages that you MUST NOT remove, because they're fundamentals for the correct execution of the OS, or they're an important system app. Keep an eye of regard and be careful about orange packages; some files are removable because they provide only functions not fundamental to the normal usage of the OS, but for other apps like File Manager, Calendar app, ecc. you'll have to provide a valid substitute for the app in way to have a workaround for replicate that function again, and so, pay caution and be aware. Green packages are safe to remove, because they won't provoke incompatibilities or other stuff that could compromise the OS. Last, cyan packages are packages which i'm still doubtful about, so i'll look for more details related when i'll have time. I won't give any suggestion about what to do with those until more will be known about, so be careful when you're deciding what you'll do with a package listed in cyan; it could be fundamental, or it couldn't. You take the decision. Packages will be listed in alphabetic order. You can use the method that you prefer to remove the app/package; there are many apps for debloating, but not everyone will work for real on every app by what i saw by my experience. **NOTE that some apps or packages may vary depending on different EMUI build numbers, so you couldn't be able find all of the packages listed here, like NFC services for example. Most of these should be present anyway** If this should happen, try another app. Personally, i reccomend Titanium Backup, but even ADB method is an excellent manner to remove this files. Instructions on how to do this are here, in this XDA article https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ - Thanks to Doug Lynch for the realization of it. However, following this guide in 10-20 minutes you'll be able to regain something around 600-700 MB of free space, so courage and let's remove useless services and stuff!
The list will be updated when an explanation of a package will be given, when more details will be provided about. Anyway feel free to suggest me whatever you'd like to see inserted in this list and a reason that explains why it would be safe or not to remove, other than appreciated to increase my packages knowledge i'll put it here for other users.
*DISCLAIMER*
I am NOT responsable for every kind of bricks or damages to the OS that your phone could suffer after removing system packages or apps, and even if always willing on helping users in need, i'm NOT obblied to do it. So i please and i recommend EVERYONE to be EXTREMELY careful when you're on a package that you don't know how it acts on system, and i encourage everyone on taking ALWAYS a TWRP backup before doing something, or removing everything that could compromise the execution of the OS. Make things with brain, not with impulsive and senseless thoughts
NOTE - Most of the times, in the folder containing the apk of the app/package that you'll be removing, you'll find a folder named "oat" containg some ODEX files related to the app. Sometimes their weight is a bunch of KBs, while other times they could weight even 10MB. If you're removing the app/package, remember to delete the ODEX file too!
Changelog
• 05/11/2017 - The guide is open to everyone, here you'll find a vast amount of packages divided by sections; Android Packages, Google Apps/Packages, Huawei Apps/Packages and Other apps.

• 15/04/2018 - Added other 4 new packages to the list, added at the bottom of the guide the paths that usually contains bloatware, some related to your vendor. Added a voice about ODEX files.
• 27/01/2019 - Massive update! Added a total of 60 new packages (most of them is new stuff that comes from EMUI 8 / EMUI 9, plus various new Google apps and pre-installed bloatware) with related descriptions. Modified various packages that was previously classified as doubtful to safe to remove.
• 03/02/2019 - Another update, this time with 8 new packages that comes from every device that receive/ starts from Android Oreo/Pie and 4 Google apps and services that are by default on every Pie system.

Paths to follow for locating most of the bloatware files quickly
Root Explorer needed!
/cust/hw/eu/app (EU will vary with your region ID)
/system/delapp
/system/priv-app
/version/special_cust/BLN-L21/hw/eu/app (BLN-L21 and EU will vary with your phone firmware and region ID)
Stay tuned for updates, in the meanwhile feel free to suggest new packages to be added to the list - collaborations are appreciated.
Thanks Man! This is really helpful. Im going to make a nandroid and then im going to start over and make a "lean build" after trimming all the fat
A perfect guide to help others without messing up anything. A detailed one brother. Kudos.
Keep up this great work. :highfive:

Thanks guys, other infos are coming very soon... oh yeah, I've noticed that the yellow i had choose is a lil' bit too bright, and makes the packages names almost impossible to read. I'll change it in a darker one next time I'll update the guide
After a thread re-organization, i've decided to make still unknown packages cyan coloured, other than orange; orange from now on will substitute the yellow colour, since i retain it more inherent to a "handle with care" package, and overall because that yellow tonality was almost unreadable. Updates are incoming in week!

Thanks man, gosh I'm a little bit late about updating this guide but actually I've only found 3-4 other packages considerable as bloatware (superfluous services never used if not interested) I'd like to update with even more stuff. There's an important note that i must write at the top of the guide, overall; if you update with the biggest update package, usually around 2,47GB, all the bloat stuff and services will be re-added to the OS; this means that for we rooted users, that must rely on this package to correctly update by huawei recovery, all the stuff will have to be removed again. Following this guide anyway, in 10-20 minutes you'll regain something around 600-700 MB of free space (as in my case: a non debloated backup occupy 5,40GB of space - a debloated one takes 4,90GB instead)

I'm keeping the app "frozen" using Titanium backup and I noticed, even with Full ota update, they're not re-added back.

Of course, because if frozen, the app isn't removed at all. It is shut off, but its space occupied on memory is still there. Simply the update won't add it again because it isn't missing. But i prefer to eradicate those at all instead of frozing it.

I've settled just not seeing the app in the drawer (f.e. two "calculators"), thing that upset me the most.
I know free space isn't earned, but since updates come out often, it'd be annoying to remove the bloats every time.
I really looking forward to have a fully workink custom ROM, but idk if that would ever be realistic.... what do you think?

To me it's natural by now, i debloat after every update, it takes just 10 minutes but hey i speak for myself. About custom ROMs, with the help of Project Treble in Android Oreo, things could get much easier. But i don't know the state of development about future bug-free roms. Devs can surely say something more about this.

Hi,
Just to be sure, does the method you describe requires root access ?
I don't understand where I can find those packages and how I should remove them...
Thx in advance

Hello,
There are different methods to remove apps, some of them needing root, some others not needing it.
You can remove apps using adb without root using this tutorial : https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
However, as it is said, be careful with what you remove...

I didn't pointed a method to remove bloatware Eulmiac, i just suggested apps like Titanium Backup to remove the easily removable apps, but for other apps/packages you'll absolutely need a root explorer like MiXplorer.
I listed packages and how they affects the system, in way to let you take the final decision about what to do with the app in question.
Sorry for the late answer, I'm pretty busy lately but i have achieved some nice tips to add to this guide to remove other 300-400MB of bloatware I'll update it as I'll be able to.
List update!
Added a changelog in OP; added other 4 new packages to the list; at the bottom of the guide, you'll find the paths that usually contains bloatware, some related to your vendor; added a voice about ODEX files also.
use sd maid to remove listed files.
a TWRP flashable debloater script would do the job a lot easier.
Thanks for these lists.
I know it is in orange but what wont work if I remove com.android.mediacenter?

Yeah surely man, i don't know how to write a script but even if I would, I'd one that would match my own needs. Maybe someone else would like to keep Google Play Music instead of removing it, and so, every single user would have to write his own script based on personal intentions...
You're welcome!

Surely stock music app (Huawei's one, to be clear) would be removed completely from the device, and other related menus or interfaces like the one that you can see while you choose a tune from settings menu, or while you set a ringtone could be unavailable. But you could always use stock File Manager interface (or other file manager apps) to set it without problems. Backup and try!
(Sorry for the late answer, I was in vacation).
Spotted this one today. Nice...

Edited to remove LG Setup Wizard from the list. Removing LG Setup Wizard kills the Always On Display.
OK,these are the apps / services that I deleted using this procedure. I based my selections off of Google searches that turned up lists for previous LG phones. I had to perform a full system reset after I made the mistake of deleting a contact sync. For now, the only one I have any concern over is the LG Setup Wizard, but so far, so good. Obviously, I'll update if I run into a problem caused by any of these missing.

Can't bring myself to delete the LG keyboard or Launcher even though I am running Swype and Nova; I'll try disabling and hiding.
Does anyone see something in my list that would be causing my AOD to stop working?
Realized the phone is going straight to black.
(Edit - turns out this was caused by removing LG Setup Wizard)
Hmm. I wonder if this could be used in reverse to inject super user disguised as a preloaded app?
Hi - is it safe to remove the Contacts app? And how do you go about hiding the Phone app? I'm using the stock Google dialler but obvs don't want to break the dialler if I can avoid it...

Do not remove the contacts app. I disabled it and, while the dialer continued to work (I am using the Google phone app as well), I could no longer view or modify my contacts. When I re-enabled the contacts app everything worked again. Just my experience...

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to say thanks for this! Been looking for a functional list for a while on what I can safely remove. I'm trying to avoid having to use a custom ROM and not be able to use the hifi DAC or camera.
Will try to do some testing/trial and error to update this for the newest VS99620g ROM, which is full of so much nonsense.

Removing LG Weather service will disable lockscreen weather animations.
I see other stuff on there like Caller ID that's very useful, unless that's something you don't use?
Just a general statement...
Not sure why people buy premium phones then want to remove most of the premium features? It's their phone, but I don't understand.
I'm only saying this because lots of people remove stuff willy nilly, then ask "Hey, why doesn't abc work?" Because of stuff they removed!
I'm not talking about things like the NFL app, obviously.
