Hey all,
I used LGUP to flash my Verizon LG G4 to MM. Most everything works great, but I realized that the system apps I had disabled using titanium backup remain disabled. Since I no longer have root, I cannot reenable most of them, but I would like to. Any thoughts? Or do I have to downgrade to LL and reenable them before I reupgrade to MM.
Also, android pay won't work, could the disabled system apps be why?
Thanks
Rob
Do the disabled apps show up in disabled list using Settings App Manager? Make sure you selected to look at system apps too.

Yes, they do, but the reenable button is grayed out.

Try using the Debloater app to only unblock/enable the apps you are interested in enabling at this time:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
It does appear to work with our VS986 and root is not required. Read the first post to learn how to export your current configuration enabled/disabled apps first before making any changes.

Unfortunately, it will not block/unblock (disable/enable) apps, only hide/unhide them, on my phone. Have you used it on Marshmallow?

I noticed about hide/unhide vs disable/enable when using it yesterday for the first time.
If you unhide one of the apps you previously disabled when rooted, does that not enable it?
Once an app is hidden, I could not figure out a way to get a list of hidden apps using adb .

Unfortunately, unhiding a disabled app does not enable it. Hiding it does make it invisible to the launcher and the rest of the phone (as far as I can tell) other than the application manager. It is very useful and ended up hiding several app. My issue is that I had disabled the LG backup and LG bridge apps and would like to use one to do a full backup so that I can do a system reset to address some issues. I guess I'll have to wait for root.
I wonder if you can use adb via a PC/USB and re-enable the apps using "pm enable <package name>" ? Worth a try.
If you figure out how to list apps hidden with "pm hide <package name>" , I'd love to know how . Don't forget about those apps you've hidden ..... I'm concerned I will forget about them .
If all else fails, I suppose you'll have to do what you want to avoid ......... go back to Lollipop rooted just to re-enable those disabled apps, then upgrade back to Marshmallow.

Thanks, I tried to do it over adb, but it didn't work. I think you need root to use "pm enable <package name>"

It does appear that your are correct.
I wonder what's going on when we do disable an app using the "Settings -> Application manager" option with Marshmallow. That appears to be doing an disable/enable. Must be a permissions thing doing it from adb vs application manager, since it does not work from adb
I was not able to disable/enable Amazon Kindle using adb, even though doing it from the app manager did disable/enable it. I could hide/unhide Amazon Kindle using adb, and hiding/unhiding it made it vanish/reappear off/on the app manager list. I wonder why we can do a hide and not a disable if they both effectively prevent an app from running ?
As you originally stated, If you used LG UP upgrade option (not refurbish option) to go back to 13B, then flashed your rooted 13B, then enabled your disabled apps, then used LG UP to upgrade back to 24C, I wonder if you'd be successful in getting to the state you want to be in?
Let us know if you try.

Has anyone successfully disabled this thing? I really don't need it and don't want to download it as it's 30mb, and want it removed from my apps in the play store.
Would be nice for there to be a 'hide update' feature.

I have until I decide to use it. However, you need root to disable, freeze, uninstall the app.

Thanx ! Found those files, but using ASTRO file manager I seem not to be able to delete those files ...
My Galaxy SIII is unrooted, could that perhaps be the problem?
If u eant it to be disabled I can probably help u with that.
Just go to settings---->applications manager-----> select the app u want to disable...
Remeber first clear cache, then clear data, force stop, disable, or uninstall
Whichever the option is listed

Thanks for that, but this particular thing does not let itself become disabled, the option is greyed-out. Here and on other sites I read that indeed the only way to have it NOT trun up in Google Play constantly is to remove the FWUpgrade.apk.
But I am afraid I cannot do that without root-access, unless someone has a work-around?
Yea ull need root. It's easy to root, just flash an already rooted stock Rom with Odin.

No root (unrooted) = no way to disable. There is no other way around it. This is true of several third party apps on stock ROM.

What app is sending you these notifications? File Manager? App Manager?
Hold down on the notification until you see a bell and an i. Hit the i to get information.
There should be a box that says notifications on the app info... Uncheck that. Reboot the phone and see if it appears again (It shouldn't).

Hold down on the notification in your tray until you see a bell and an i enclosed in a circle. Hit the i to get app information.
Then uncheck the box for notifications from that app. Reboot and see if it pops up again.

If you're on Lollipop:
Hold down on the notification and get the info. Make sure it's unchecked (Could be a different app sending that one).
If it's already unchecked:
Go to your settings and find "Notification Manager". Enter this and hit "App notifications". Find the app that sent the above notification and tap on it. Now you can adjust it and set priorities and whatnot. For this, block notifications from it.
This may block notifications for system updates as well, but you can still check it manually. Plus, system updates don't happen very often so not seeing it won't really matter.
EDIT: Misunderstood what you meant... I underlined what to do in your case.
Edit 2: I'm running a custom ROM and that's how I would do it in my case. I failed to remember that the stock ROM may not have added these features, so you can also do this (for sure) but going to your settings and hitting apps, then scrolling over to all. Find the app manager (or whatever app uses the same icon as the one sending you the notifications) and click on it. Now you can uncheck the displaying of notifications from it.

Read that^^^
Also, unchecking notifications from "Google Service Framework" may remove notifications for these type of updates.
If you are rooted and already have SuperSU you can download Titanium backup and uninstall any app from your phone. BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SOME APPS ARE IMPORTANT. Also, make sure you backup the file before removing it via titanium (backup through titanium backup) in case you for some reason need it back. This may or may not remove the prompt to update the app, but way back when (if I remember correctly) it did for me.

Glad to hear it! If you ever have any more questions feel free to PM me.
Also, I would highly recommend you try out a free app called "LG Tweaks Box". It'll make your phone feel so much better and have tons of customization!
I'm not sure if this even/still applies but when I was on KitKat (LG G3 2GB) I rooted my device then used either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer File Manager and looked in the data\op folder on device and deleted anything I didn't want (mainly anything carrier related which was all of the H3G_COM folder (30 items) as it was a 3 UK handset) then reflashed firmware and wiped device and I have never had any apps forced on me since, i've even disabled auto restore of apps from Google Play on first sign in so I can be choose what I wanted installed at each reflash/wipe.
Back up the OP folder first as It is handy for later if ever needed
Again not sure if this even/still applies
Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply
But sorry to say that my Data/Op folder has no Carrier APPs
i have done a full search on phone an just cant find the junk
i still have a message saying i have 15 APPs to update even with APP update frozen with RootUninstaller

Try installing them then using titanium backup to remove them completely including all files.

Hi.
Recently I unlocked and rooted my G4. There were some problems with him, so I installed a theoretical clean soft from *.zip by TWRP (there was no capture+ and quick memo as in the original).
The problem is that when you run an application or browser when pops pop up, I'm not able to click "allow / refuse",
because the application does not react to it!
While in the application is okay and I can get out of it and do it in the app options then in the browser, when the page shows some pop up windows it becomes impossible or terribly annoying.
Another thing is that I can not run the banking application, even though Magisk hides the root.
Is there a way to get around this?
In summary, I have a problem with non-responsive popup windows and root to the banking application for now ..
Regards and I count on your help
Wipe everything. Go to advanced in wipe do not check off microsd and internal storage
Reinstall ROM gapps and SuperSU or migisk
This way u can have a clean and install and not loose your files
I have tried this and it didnt work for me :/
What about banking app?

First and most important: without an info what you flashed you can't expect much help. Is it stock? Is it a custom ROM ? Which one ? What version ? Did you tried a clean install ? This popup window problem sound 99% like an issue with your data partition so do this:
wipe -> FORMAT DATA!! (you will loose all your internal media obviously .. So make a backup of your photos etc before )
wipe -> advanced -> system and cache
Reboot -> recovery
Flash the ROM of your choice
Boot android
This must fix your popup issue. If not try another ROM .
Magisk hide doesn't work properly for me too. It's always a cat & mice game . I found another approach which even let my stubborn banking app load! Check it out : the app is named island : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island
It creates an island for your apps which are so much hidden that no root detect will work and so let your app load

I flash stock ROM v29a, but now its ok. The problem was Fluidng and "drawing over apps", I uninstalled that app and now pop up windows working well
@steadfasterX did you use a particular setting or method in the sandbox? My banking app still complains about root.

Possibly I unchecked them at first phone setup but not sure.

Ok, that's interesting. How did you disable it, or more appropriately how to you re-enable it? It's possible I may have disabled it by accident.
