Warning to those that are going to root and then remove apps.

Some of us are getting their Optimus G today and will probably want to root and even though Sprint doesn't have too many bloatware, I know there will be people that are gonna try to remove some apps they don't want. However...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970546
Apparently some of LG's stock apps are locked down with the security on this phone and will cause an error if you uninstall the wrong app. Don't not uninstall any app yet, The best thing to do is to freeze them.
Edit: This only happens if you uninstall a google app. Sprint and LG Bloatware is fine apparently.

A chill down my spine.
I just ran root through my phone, seconds away from loading up root uninstaller and gleefully ridding myself of all the Sprint bloatware that annoys the daylights out of me, I decided to bookmark this section of forum, saw this post and probably saved myself from a ruined Saturday.
Even though the other OP removed Google apps and I just want to remove Sprint stuff.. now I just don't dare.
Curses. I think I'm just gonna go back to bed instead.
Thank you for the heads up, never would have guessed myself.

No problem, glad I could help.

People in the other thread said you can delete LG apps and AT&T apps (Sprint apps likely too) but not google apps

I froze apps, rebooted, and had this problem.
I thought that was the issue, until I remembered that I pushed the newer versions of the updated Google apps to /system with Titanium. I guess *ANY* change to those specific apps faults whatever checking it's doing. :-|

i was able to remove, most of LG apps..
the two Sprint app i kept..

The list of apps I've safely deleted from stock zvc are as follows:
Application Manager
Marionette
Google Play Books
Google Play Magazines
Google Play Movies and Tv
Google Play Music
Lg Email
Lg Email Widget
Memo
Memo Widget
Stock Music Player(I use PlayerPro)
Notebook
Polaris Office 4
Smartshare
Stock Streaming Player(I use BS Player)
Sprint ID
Sprint Zone
Tom's Diner
VidClip
VideoWiz
And I am sure there are many more that can be deleted(probably some I forgot). I've heard of other people having problems even freezing the google books, etc, but I completely deleted them.

Quickset SDK drains battery

Guys,
What is this QuickSet SDK ? Its draining battery hugely.
How can I fix this issue ?
Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro E-988

Quick Set is for the IR remote control. Do you have it activated and showing on the lock screen?

Yes I've activated it.
The problem is when the screen is on and m not doing anything quickset is at large and hogs cpu. Never let it rest at 384 MHz...
Deactivating remote control is not helping. Quicksetsdk is still hogging cpu...
I checked running processes and cached processes. Nothing BT the name quicksetsdk is running...
Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro E-988

The **** apk is a helper apk for qremote.
Now just for this remote functionality I can not let quicksetsdk to hog cpu all the time and make it run at 1134 or 918mhz even when remote is not used.
I disabled them. Now since then:
1. Cpu is at 384 for normal operations.
2. This resulted in battery temperature to be reduced by 5 degrees during normal operation.
3. Battery life of 25% is saved which otherwise quicksetsdk would have consumed. 25% of 85% of 3140mah = 665 Mah !!! Means ~1hr screen on time.
Its good to have remote functionality but a properly optimized one.

I am facing the exact issue in my phone . The Quickset sdk is consuming 40% of my phone's battery. Can you please tell us how you disabled the quickset sdk? Which ***apk are you referring to here? Need to get rid of this asap.

U mean u didn't disable/freeze them ?
You only cleared the data of these apks ?
But when u start using the qremote the data is going to be there and the hog will return I guess...

yes, I only cleared the data, not freeze them
I haven't root my g pro, so I cant use Titanium to freeze them.
if I ever use the qremote again, of course the hog will return
another battery hog I know is Safety Care app....
it keeps running on background.
but I think I manage to shut it off by declining the terms of usage of the app
so far so good, the app doesnt go back and running in background

I have same problem, this quickset sdk draining my battery. But i still want to use it. If i freeze this apk's, that's mean i cannot use remote again ?

If you disable the apks you won't be able to use remote.
If you want to use remote then unfreeze them but 35-40% battery is consumed by remote once you configure and start using it.
LG is a black mark on android software development.

Okay thank you. I think i will freeze it for daily use. And unfreeze it when i need to use remote.

No root needed
Just disable the Quickset SDK app
you can do it using system setting > apps > all
scroll to quickset SDK > select disable
However, if you're rooted your phone. you can make a custom widget to enable/disable quickset SDK straight from home screen without getting hassle digging the setting menu.
Install app Freezer from PlayStore, use it to make custom widget.

[Q] Disable services for Apps?

I recently purchased the G3 I also have a G Pro. On my G Pro I could disable services for all the apps I jade on my phone through my task manager...am I missing something or is that option no longer available?

You need an app that requires root to disable system services, you can use an app called Disable Service or System Tuner, both will get the job done, I personally prefer Disable Service since it's nice and light weight.

Package Disabler

For those of us not willing to root right now, I have to say using package disabler to turn off CleanMaster, S-Voice and S-Finder have done wonders in the last 48 hours for making this phone just as responsive as my 2014 Moto X was. I've been close to biting the bullet and trading it in for almost anything else, and this may have changed my mind.

Where would I find package disabler

Play store!

samsung made the developer to remove it
now I can't find it anywhere
fXck samsung

Try googling it and selecting the play store link..I was able to download it that way....

Verification is failing

Wow I can confirm. Worked fine before and now it doesn't work. Doesn't even let me active the pack disabled anymore. Smh.

What do I do about the apps I disabled?

Doesn't work, License server error before program starts.
Also very dangerous tool as it needs internet to work.
If you by misstake disable something that has to do with connectivity you will end up having to do a factory restore !!
If you by misstake installed this crap onto your device, you might notice that the de-install option is greyed out, don't panic.
Go into the security section and de-select the app under device administrators.
Now it can be de-installed.
Here's a much better and SAFER alternative:

These are the 3 packages that i needed to disable to kill OTA on my S5 with KitKat 4.4.2:

Doesn't work and useless unless the internet dependency is removed.
Usually these kind of apps are being offered for free at XDA forums, but there's always somebody who's trying to
turn it into a buck, totally disregarding the people who d/l this and softbrick their phones...
Also the whole purpose and usefulness of the tool is defeated if you need internet access to d/l and use it.
Reason being the phone fills up with crap, the same second you connect it to the internet the first time.
You want to run a tool like this before, not giving the phone a chance to fill up with junk/updates.
Especially important is this in regards to OTA.
Disabled junk is still junk eating precious space on your mobile.

It only needs internet connection the first time by instaling procees, because the licence activation only works with internet. Once its activated it Work´s well
The server is very busy so it could mbe that you have to wait till all is fine again.
Im using it with my Galaxy S6 Stock not rooted 5.1.1 and i have disabled most of the system app
It´s easy to use and easy no enable again

I am not sure what you are saying about this app is correct! in Android please tell me which app do not require internet, and accessing internet is dangers then all apps in play store is dangerous. Debloater do not give any recombination for which packages to disable, if you disable system packages with Debloater the only option left is factory reset (I have to factory reset my Note 3 after using Debloater)

Pacakge Disabler is back
I found the paid version is back and working search for package disabler pro on the play store.

so any list of things we can disable to speed up this phone, touchwiz is really laggy after a few minutes of use

Package disabler has a disabler all bloatware option . it will remove 100+ apps . that you did not know existed on your device.
There is also coding to identify bloatwares. It will double your speed.

i haven't root my S6 edge and don't really want to yet. so i was looking for something like this.
yeah i debloated it with a few app i actually use, great thing about this app is that it shows you which app are "confirmed" safe to deblot. it actually debloted automatically like 140things from my system.
where can i get those codes i don't se it in any of the setting?
i was about to give up on touchwiz and this galaxy s6, since i got it touchwiz has been hell with the reloading of widget and icons, clear cache and data help but a few hours later the slowness would returned ( i already exchanged devices 4 times for other reason and all of them had the same problem), also phone would get hot, sometimes pretty darn hot.
This app has solve all problem (also a different launcher like nova solved it) but using touchwiz and this debloted app have giving me more battery life, super fast device, no more reloading, and it never heats up.
i for one would like to have a device from samsung that i would not have to deblot to get a lag free experience. i believe the only device i have never root from samsung was the note 3 which ran like a champ always.

About time someone thought about security. That program is being used a lot on the note 5 forum. I find it to be potentially a huge security issue. I initially downloaded it and installed. I later that about it. I just went ahead and factory reset. It has way too much access imo.

can i use it to disable the my t-mobile app ?

Yeah you can.
Side note: I noticed it says knox is bloat.. But when I disable it causes my phone to bug out. Anyone else have similar issues?

Best custom ROM or eliminate bloatware and privacy?

I just purchased a used G3 (D852) and am in the process of setting it up.
From my research, I know it comes with a lot of bloatware and I wouldn't mind getting rid of it. I am also a fan of privacy, so I found a way to access the "Access Lock" feature (aka App Ops and similar to Privacy Guard)but I found that apps that come as bloatware, Facebook for example, don't appear in the "Access Lock" list, so I can't change permissions on them. It looks like mostly apps that have been installed from the Play Store can have their permissions changed by "Access Lock".
I prefer not to root my device, but if I had to, I would consider it.
If I installed a custom ROM, which ROM would give me the following?
-4K camera (preferably the stock LG camera app)
-Privacy Guard (or similar)
-Not rooted
I don't mind the stock ROM, but I would like to have permission control over all apps, specially Facebook and some of the Google apps. Also, I would like to get rid of the bloatware.
Does someone have a suggestion for me?
Thanks!
