CarrierIQ

Is there a way to remove Carrier IQ from the G3 yet? I've followed a couple ways to do it yet the detectors still show it as not only present but active. I've opted out of the diagnostic collection but also disabled the apks as well as this http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2bkl60/remove_carrier_iq_off_of_lg_g3_all_models/

Cant you remove it with root?

I am rooted. I've frozen the 3 system management apps and denied them the permissions they need to be able to run but the detectors still say its active. Could the detectors be not working since the phone is so new? I've also frozen LTDDM.apk too .

The detectors probably just search to see if it exists in the phone. So they most likely cannot recognize if it is running or not.

Thats what I'm hoping. I looked at the running processes and none of it is in there. Just annoying that its on there in the first place.

I had Carrier IQ on a TMO Galaxy Light and in addition to freezing the apps with Titanium Backup there are three apk's in System>Priv-App that relate to Carrier IQ - they are:
IQ-tmobile-release-unsigned.signed_TMO.apk
IQToggle.signed_TMO.apk
IQ_OOB_TMO.apk
I renamed them with a .bak extension because I read somewhere that CIQ is still sending information to TMO whether it's frozen or not (and even though T-Mobile claims that they don't use it!
Seems to work because I cannot see them in running apps (using GSAM Pro)

Its some work but i guess it works.

You can opt out of it using the t-mobile app that comes on the phone. Go to the device health and opt to turn it off, then go to advanced tab and shut that off too.

Yes, you can do that, but I'm not sure if that just disables it from sending phone data or stops it from running as well in the background processes.
Some of the CIQ modules are used by TMo for their My Account and other apps on the phone as well, including the device diagnostics reminder, when you call up support, it sends your device info to them on call, etc, unless you uncheck all of those options, not just the CIQ disclaimer and diagnostics.
Those other options are in the TMo My Account app and then you need uncheck all the boxes in its settings for those abilities.
The removal of CIQ takes it away from the phone completely, thus removing the capability of your phone data (including SMS and calls) being sent and the battery and CPU tasking it used.

I actually just found the settings in the My TMobile app. It told me my device was healthy so I was turning off that thing and noticed the more hidden diagnostics option and the other settings.

Back in my OmniRom/Note 2 days, I used delete scripts/zips to automatically clean up after nightly flashes. I created a CIQ_Delete zip using the template from the following thread. Thanks to @RaphaDroid for the template and thanks to @vicvega for the guide.

This zip deletes the following:
"/system/app/LTDDM.apk",

"/system/priv-app/IQToggle_v1.1.3.signed.apk",

I ran Voodoo CIQ Detector before and after. After a flash in recovery, the detector comes up clean. Nothing detected or running. A perfect score.
Understand, this should only be used after the phone has been setup!! It's my understanding that if the apks are deleted before hand, the setup wizard gets messed up. Probably because of the diagnostic option during setup. Again, this zip should only be used after a dirty flash or after the initial setup on a fresh install. You may want to back up the apks before deleting just in case you want to do a factory reset instead of a clean flash. That way you can get through the initial setup of the phone.
I take no responsibility if you futz up your phone. I just wanted makes things a bit easier by automating the process. You can also follow vivega's guide (linked above) to manually rid yourselves of this nuisance.
Also note: I used the xposed toggle and one time viper4android zips from that same thread. They both work after dirty flashes. Another time saver.

You can honestly just delete the .apk.

Already discussed in a previous thread. It only allows blocking the Apps. Absolute removal of Apps require Root.

That's a big deal to a lot of people though. For a lot of people who do not have root and are on KitKat, they can completely block packages on their phone that they otherwise could not. Sure, they allow you to block / disable certain ones on the phone itself, but not anything. This allows them to block any package, Knox included. And sure they could download a script, modify it for their purposes and create another script to unblock and so on and so on. But this maintains nothing and interacts with their device directly. Nothing to maintain and nothing to edit, etc. etc..

Anybody got a list of app that's safe to block. Don't want to cause an endless boot.

here's my complete script I have handy, after testing things and trying a few things without success, my phone many times would automatically erase all data and do a factory reset in the end of my failed experiments. Either that or I'd have to resort to that Odin package someone posted on here to flash back to stock. I think I've flashed my phone using that Odin package around 12 times now after downgrading from the forced updated NK3 back to original. I immediately run this script after enabling Developer options and enabling USB Debugging.
Just right click on the script and Run As Administrator on Vista,Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10.
**Make sure to have the 3 required Adb files to run Adb to communicate with device. I attached those 3 main files which you can extract to c:\windows\system32. This way you can run adb commands from any location on the computer since System32 is included in the environment variables for the OS

Jump on the forum thread, I have built in export and import of blocked packages support built in, someone will give you a list.

I Thank you Sir ... that is a nice, clean app that's works well, but I do have one suggestion for an improvement if you are open to it.
I like the fact that it has a filter function, but the filter only works on the name in the apk name, not the package name. It would be really sweet if it would search both areas. :good:

You can uncheck the filter and it will display the full list again and it will keep your changes you made during filter.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

broken 4 lollipop 5.01
not working, error dialog attached.
I figured if SD was writable and debloater cleared out the junk I could live without root with the update. I know I can disable some of the apps from the launcher, but there are / were some under 4.4.4 that only debloater could take care of for me. Unable to do that under 5.01.

Startup Failed

Phone's rooted, install was success, and subsequent restarts after that was fine. But now I removed some Verizon and LG crapware and after a restart, I get Failed to boot and then it loads the Verizon Flash screen, and occasionally gets to "Android is updating" and loading apps and immediately crashes. Any tips?

Sorry I'm a bit busy at the moment. I've never used that return to stock before anyway. Should be easy enough. it's the only thing I can think of trying.

You're not supposed to conpletely uninstall system apps when on stock rom. This will result in security errors (os checks its system files to see if it's been tampered with) and then refuse to boot. This is not specific to the G4 but almost all LG devices

we should probably start a list of bloat that we can actually uninstall/remove as opposed to simply blocking!

There is a DeBloater thread already here. I don't recall a list of what is OK to remove, but people have been posting their log files or which ones THEY removed.

I'd like to add, that I was able to get back to stock with ease.

How were you able to get back to stock?

I just went through this and I think I figured out which app is causing the constant reboots. Mine was literally rebooting approximately 100 times per day (not exaggerating)...Use Titanium Backup and freeze "Android System Webview" so far that seems to have solve my issue. Hope this helps anyone experiencing this reboot nonsense! Good luck!

So I ran into this same problem and after reading this thread about removing system applications on a stock rom I've learned my lesson. I just finished using a Debloater application on my rooted G4 and everything was operating smoothly while I was using the phone. Initially I only blocked the apps I was focusing on (some 30 of them) but eventually ended up deleting them. I decided to reboot my phone just to cover my bases and now I'm getting a boot screen error underneath the LG symbol that says "Start up failed. Your device didn't start up successfully..." I'm able to boot into the stock recovery and attempted a factory reset to no avail. I also attempted to run USB Debugging but it just reset and went back to the bootloop.
Any advice on how to flash back to stock?
If need be and flashing back to stock isn't necessary I have screenshots of the apps I deleted thanks to the backups created by Gates Jr's Debloater app.

If you froze it, then you should get an error when you check for software updates. It means your phone will not automatically check for updates either.

Exactly, I was stating that a good way to check is to attempt to check for updates. Sorry if it came across as me thinking something was wrong.

Ooops, I should have also stated that getting the error is a good thing and not an indication that something is messed up

quick question i got the system updates 1_14_10_0 frozen in TiBu. But when I filter search update its comes up a third apk called configupdater5.1-17437 the permission on this apk is. Download files without user notification and run at start up. I've currently frozen this apk with no side effects that i can tell

I love the translation.

Sorry to bump a dead thread but I have System updates listed twice. I froze both and when I click the check for software updates, settings force close. Seems to be only on that setting. Is it normal though? Did anyone have it listed twice?

I have two listed and froze both, I'm not having any issues with force closing just getting the same toast notification that the service doesn't exist.

AFAIK this does not apply to 12L beta 3

No, just A12

I have updated to this version. Retained root. No data wipe.

Keeping root is easy with Magisk
- uninstall with option "restore images"
- take update OTA
- install with option "install to inactive slot (after OTA)"
- Reboot using Magisk prompt
- Done

Updating now. Why do these updates take like an hour to install??

It's been a source of contention lately and it never used to be this long. You can still work on the device while it's doing its thing but it's a pain for sure. I don't think installing the entire image is needed or even possible if you're not rooted, but an adb sideload of the OTA is much simpler and quicker. I've done both lately and haven't noticed any differences in device performance. I did the Feb update OTA and it took over an hour. January I did the sideload and it took about 8 minutes but offline the whole time. Pick your poison.

I used the Full file method but regardless if the full file repartition things, I am pretty sure the OTA did the same...

Updating now. Why do these updates take like an hour to install??

Mine didn't take an hour.

My .02, since I saw it resizing partitions, its obviously going to take longer on a "live" phone as in via OTA. It probably resized the second slot, moved stuff over, and then did the same on the first slot......I am just guessing a bit, but suspect that would be the method....
I think using the manual full file flash method, it took probably less than 10 minutes, but it always feels like an hour!

Keeping root is easy with Magisk
- uninstall with option "restore images"
- take update OTA
- install with option "install to inactive slot (after OTA)"
- Reboot using Magisk prompt
- Done

What does it mean :"take OTA update" here? I restored stock image and tried to update via system settings/system update but still getting "couldn't update"
