Question regarding Market Place and apps automatically restoring

any idea why some ROMS automatically restore your previously downloaded apps after flashing and some don't? I also could be seeing things, but I thought some actually redownload the apps on their own and others show you the apps and give you the option to redownload them.
Just wondering if anyone could explain that to me...
Thanks,
Ken

Some roms use google backup and some dont. Better suited in th q&a forum instead of here though

you can just disable all the apps you want through settings-apps as well mate if you do not use TB. Plus disable all bloatware if you are on a branded phone and i would also say disable google maps, facebook if you do not use and even the email client from HTC. I use gmail app from market hence why i would disable that.
I was thinking of making a thread and giving battery tips on how to save more juice and what apps to remove...maybe i should do that and see if it helps people out.
Any apps that you do not use i would either disable through settings or freeze with TB or unistall them..I could make a list on a thread if you want in the next couple of days

yes please do! would be great.
disabling google maps. i feel it is a big part of the phone to gave google maps available. what other services would be affected by this. i can see the advantage by battery life.

only disable it really if you do not use it. i have disabled it as i barely use it my friend. from what i can see i would even freeze or uninstall friend stream as i do not use that either...there are so many i have not even had a look at...by having TB and if you was to uninstall all the system apps you do not use you are making your own Lite rom by doing so

We could all share what we have disabled and compare results too.

All you need can be found here...

Does your phone need to be rooted? If not then am still lost as I can only see Uninstall on the individual apps? Thanks.

you have to uninstall updates for system apps first then you can disable, note not all system apps can be disabled.
what i did was restart the phone open task man then disabled the ones running at start, just click the name not the X.

uninstall the updates first if you have updated any of the apps and then once you done than then you can disable.

if you go into settings-apps-all apps you can disable all the apps you want. of course some system apps you can not, not sure which but you can pretty most of them.

Thanks, done

[Q] Hey, where did that come from?

Every time I pull up my task manager to close out apps I find Google maps running even though I never opened it.
Is it triggered by another app, like Facebook possibly?
Er sorry, I thought I was in the Q&A forum. If one of the mods want to move this I'd appreciate it.

Download Autostarts from the Play store. You can prevent anything and everything from running on its own. One of the best root apps out there. It will also show you what the triggers are that cause it to start up.

You just discovered why I always delete Maps when I am setting up my phone and I just install it as needed. Autostarts or ROM Toolbox have the option to freeze it on start as well

Does deleting Maps affect navigational apps?

It may depending on the app. It would be easier to just freeze apps that you don't need or use. If you get an error because of a dependency, it's usually far easier to defrost the app than to reinstall it (especially if it is categorized as a system app).

I think I'd prefer that option although I realize re-installing Maps wouldn't exactly be a hassle. It isn't really eating up battery or getting in the way I just wondered why it was always there when I knew I hadn't manually opened it.
Thanks for chiming in, the more I learn the better I enjoy my phone.

Stock Apps (Safe to remove)

Hi, i were thinking of deleting some stock apps on my Oppo Find 7a..
Is there a list somewhere where i can see which apps that are safe to delete..?
I want to do it to cut down a little on ram and battery use..
Looking forward to your answers

Great question, would also like to know this information if anyone knows.

try downloading "cleanmaster security" free from playstore in the menu go into apps and it will give you a list of apps that are safe to uninstall,just do one at a time,give it a few hours or maybe half a day and then try another one,make a list as you go so you know what to restore if you have issues

Let me start out by stating this is just what I froze. Obviously I wasn't using the stock launcher so don't freeze/uninstall that if you are. I saw no major problems with all that stuff frozen. I would suggest you freeze vs uninstall that way you can unfreeze if you have problems. If I remember correctly this was on COS 2.0 beta.
Find what? Who the heck is OPPO?

Apps that can be safely Frozen or Removed

Thought this may be useful for everyone to have as the device does sadly have a tendency to be a bit laggy.
Have followed a few guides and got some great info from XDA so trying to give a little back if I can
From what I have done I have found no ill effects that I have noticed so far, all fairly obvious choices so early on, but will get braver as I get more used to the handset and I'm sure others have been more adventurous than me and can help bulk the list up a bit and we can do away with a whole bunch of bloat to get a smoother ride from out G3. Some of these I froze as I prefer other 3rd party apps.
Frozen/Removed
Cell Broadcast
E-Mail
Documents
File Manager
Internet/Stock Browser
LG Health
LG Search Widget Provider
LG Setup Wizard
McAfee Security
Messaging (stock)
Music
Video
Video Trim
Weather
Weather Theme
Weather Platform
If you have any other suggestions please post and and I'll add updates to Post 1 for easy reference :highfive:
Hope this helps some fellow G3 users

I think you should do a different list for the Google apps, the main attention people will give this thread is to find out what LG apps they can freeze and remove, most people will not be interesting in removing the Google apps from their devices.

Understood, you are most likely correct. Google Apps removed from list

If possible, can you post the real app name (the apk name in /system/app or /system/app-priv) ?
Thanks

Get my G3 later today. Thanks for the list! I'm completely new to Android, so how do I remove bloat ware?

you need to keep file manager if you wish to write to the extsd card
I've not been able to disable the mcafee software

I didn't find the apk by myself, but root uninstaller found somehow

Is freezing them through TB essentially a better version of hibernating them through Greenify?

They do different things. Freezing them is like uninstalling them - they are gone and won't work at all but can be retrieved by unfreezing. Greenifying them just hibernates them but they work as normal.

Also in system/vendor/app. Found some stuff in there that tibu couldn't get rid of. Here's most of what I froze. If it's not in my list of frozen apps I deleted it lol

Could we have a non-root list, and also a description of what gets disabled/broken for each one. E.g. what does Cell Broadcast do? (I've googled, I 'm now aware, not relevant currently in the UK).
ActionManager service? Board Content Provider?
I've found this list but most of the bloat on Verizon wasn't on mine, since I'm not in the US: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/list-bloatware-safe-to-disable-t2819370

I wonder if anyone has the time, patience, and good will to compile all of these threads into one master index?

I've noticed that the system doesn't allow you to disable everything if you're not rooted so maybe anything you are allowed to disable is safe to disable.

And how is everything working out after having disabled all those 3 weeks ago? Any anomalies or bad experiences? So far your screenshots give the best list of the removable apps (I'm completely new to LG so I don't know about their stock stuff), and I'd love to remove them but I'm afraid to experiment without a fully working recovery to restore nandroid.

Awesome, thanks for the quick feedback! I just got a notification about a new downloadable software update (will not do it ofc), I suppose freezing the software update app will mean no more notifications and to setbacks either?

Correct. I have mine frozen to avoid receiving update notifications. Also this is good until you find out if the new update is rootable. If its not then its good to stick with the current software.

My list is almost this one of yours. Had to unfreeze some of those because it made the home screen very lagged.

Everything Google uninstalled or frozen for over 2 weeks. No problems or complaints.

thanks the development has really taken off for this great device

So I froze most of these. Will it free up memory or do I have to delete them? Kinda scared to delete them. I have nandroid backup, just hate to possibly have to restore when the phone is running good.
