New EXTRA debloater online
I've made an "EXTRA" debloater in addition to the safe one with all suggestions so far
See this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/extra-stock-lp-debloater-d802-t3110347
Hello, I have used this debloater, and unselected "QuicksetSDK" and "QRemote" but for some reason, QRemote isnt there anymore, how can I get it back? I can't find where to get the .apk for it.
Really great, much appreciated.

I have this issue as well.
The first thing in my mind is that it uses an other service ... maybe lgnfc ?
I'll look it up on monday ... no time this weekend , sorry

Can one of you test to dirty flash the rom you use again , reboot , boot to recovery again and then use the debloater but don't select LGNFC , QUICKSETSDK and QREMOTE !
That should do the trick.
Greetings, Kuoi

Nice Zip Kuoi, I can confirm that your trick works.
Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music, SIM Toolkit, Voice Memo and Video Editor are still in my ROM after applying your Script.
Can anybody confirm? Would it be possible to add these apps to your ZIP?

Go to my EXTRA debloater thread ... i've added Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music, SIM Toolkit, Voice Memo and Video Editor
Link to Extra debloater in OP
BTW : I've learned a lot today ,because when i was trying to remove the google services (play movies,games,music) the folders where deleted but i had still the apps on my phone.
I've installed an apk info app , and so i could figure out that these apps also use an other folder on the data partition ... so now it's fixed.
All recommendations are still welcome
Kuoi,
GREAT WORK! I can confirm that it is working. Here my observations:
- after I ran the ZIP the Google Apps (Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music) where still there but now it was possible to uninstall them within Lollipop.
- SIM Toolkit, Voice Memo and Video Editor are deleted as expected by executing the ZIP
- in your App your comment about SIM Toolkit is that you do not recommend to delete it. Why? I have deleted SIM-Toolkit and the LG G2 runs normally
- maybe you can add Youtube to the list?
- maybe you can add Music to the list - assuming that there are plenty of free music apps in Google Play
- in the safe LP debloater you can delete Mail - isn't that one of the basic apps that should remain in the OS?
- maybe it would be easier for you as developer and for users to put the safe and the extra debloater together into one ZIP. There you could maintain two categories (save and extra).
Regards,
Gregor

Thanks for the info.
Did you use D802 and stock LP rom to remove Google apps ? On my device they were deleted after the debloat and i didn't have to uninstall them afterwarts.
I'll delete the sim toolkit coomment because it's only with some sim's and in some countries it seems to give a little problem.
Youtube and music will be added soon
I'll keep mail on the debloater because i don't use Gmail ... it's not a necessary app to keep your phone working.
You're right .. i didn't think about it ,but I'll put the 2 versions together in 1 zip.
I could put them on 1 flash zip , but according to me the list would be too long and imo the extra is more for people who know what they're doing and what they're removing
Thanks for the reply
Hi Kuoi,
yes, D802 with stock LP but I got it as a ZIP (Software version V20b-OPEN-COM) to be installed through TWRP - so maybe it is not 100% original.
Regarding Mail I was referring to "LGEmail : LG email client". I understand that Gmail ist no a neccessary app.
Of course it is ok to have 2 ZIPs. But IMHO there are also some sophisticated apps in the safe ZIP, f. e.
- Facelock: I would not know of any app that can be engaged into setting
- LgNfc: it is required for the NFC hardware
- LGBrowser: ok you can use any other browser
But maybe I am mistaken since I am not too experienced with Android. So in the end your ZIPs are great so safe a lot of storage :good:
Regards,
Gregor
UPDATE
NEW FULL debloater online ... , handy and stable "all in one"-debloater
FULL G2 LP Debloater thread
This thread can be removed.
New updated version here folks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/extra-stock-lp-debloater-d802-t3110347
Thread closed
DebloatEx v1.4
For me, every additional app which i don't use is too much. Why should an app be installed, if i don't use it? So i wrote a little debloater script, which i can flash over every rom i install. Also i added some extras which i need for my daily use.
Information:
First: This is NOT a full rom. It's a script to flash over a rom. The script uses a aroma installer. Every app can be selected manually for removal. Also the apps are not removed entirely. The are moved to a backup folder. So they can be easily restored if an app, which was removed, is missing after the flash. Additionally you can choose if you want to remove the gallery images, ringtones and notifications ringtones.
Because you can remove the lg launcher and/or the lg sms app, i decided to add nova launcher and google messenger as replacement apps. Of course they are also optional to install.
Furthermore i added a nfc mod, to enable nfc while screen is off or while screen is on and lockscreen is on. And of course this is also optional. You can choose to use stock nfc behavior. Aaaaand there is more. I added the CTT mod from Robshr to eliminate lags. This one is not selectable because i think this mod is essential for our device.
Attention:
The script is in a very early state. There can be bugs, so be sure to make a backup from your rom with TWRP before you flash the zip.
DebloatEx and hasenbolle are not responsible for any possible damage done to your device as a result of flashing.
I will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.

Extras:
CTT Mod v4 to eliminate lag and more. This is a must have. It really helps to improve the lag behavior of the G4.
Restoring apps:
No app/folder will be deleted. Every app will be just moved to the folder: system/__Backup
From there you should move the apps to either /system/app or /system/priv-app back. You should move the folder (and not copy), otherwise the permissions will be messed up. Just use a root file manager for that (Solid Explorer etc.)

Hi,
Thank you for your script. It worked great ! It seems I accidently removed the smartnotice widget and clock programs, including the alarm manager and now I cannot set an alarm. Can you please tell me which packages I have to restore in order to get my alarm manager and smartnotice back again ? Otherwise all is fine and I find it very usefull, thank you !

It should be the "LGAlarmClock" package for the alarm clock. Maybe i should that one leave unchecked. So that it wont be removed by default.
For SmartNotice i think these two packages should be moved back to the app/priv-app folder: LIAInformant and LIAS4URecommender
I will write a note in the aroma installer under the app. Thanks for your post

I have used my debloat list to debloat my Imperium v1.0 rom.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65512967&postcount=17
I am also experiencing Play Services FC.
Did you solve your issue?
What should be restored?
thx
pOpY
In my case I applied the script after a fresh install of imperum rom. I tryed to apply directly and got that play services fc...so i dirty flashed imperium and applied the script with no errors so far
I wiped my phone yesterday and flashed also imperium 1.1 and then directly without a reboot the debloat script. This procedure worked for me everytime without a fc from google play services.
Do you have a H815 EU?

1. to return to work the settings icon on the notification bar
2. to return to work the "delete all " on the recent app (which is now infinite ) @hasenbolle

Hi,
It's not necessary to reinstal the mod after flashing a new kernel. The mod actually moves unnecessary programs and services in a folder on your phone in case you need to restore them so no need to reflash it again as it already done it's job.
I like it very much ! It improved my phone performance and battery life as it remove many programs and services I don't use. The only problems I met are that it removes the clock, the calendar and smartnotice programs and widgets. But it was easy to restore them from the backup folder and setting the permissions so now everything works fine. Just a quick suggestion - maybe in the next version it would be great if there is an option to choose if these programs to be removed. Thanks !

You can choose which programs you want to remove. You just need to untick the app in aroma and it wont be removed. The clock will not be removed by default in the new version.

i am using location services all the time with tasker but i have set it to "battery saving".
After resetting my Amplify settings and using default (nlpwakelock -> location services) my phone didnt had any FC since days now.
Maybe its worth a try...
pOpY
I just installed this and get stuck at the lockscreen. I try entering my pattern and it recognises it but then doesn't actually unlock the screen. Thoughts?
i'd like to get rid of all unnecessary apps and those that i don't use, here's the list:
Code:
[LIST]
[*]carrier services
[*]cloud print
[*]gboard
[*]google app
[*]chrome
[*]google drive
[*]google duo
[*]google photos
[*]goolge play movies & TV
[*]google play music
[*]google talk back
[*]google text to speech
[*]moto
[*]noto actions
[*]motorola FM radio
[*]motorola modality services
[*]wallpapers
[/LIST]
most of these are just IMO unneeded apps that eat battery, data and invade privacy (especially google ones)
so what could i do to get rid of them since there is no option to uninstall them?
You have to root your phone (gain access to system apps), then you can uninstall them.

so i followed this tutorial,
unlocked bootloader,
rooted the phone,
and i still cannot uninstall those all those unneeded apps, not from settings, not from play store,
how do i uninstall them?
You have to install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en_GB
Then you have to grant it root access, then you can finally uninstall them.
I, however, recommend installing a custom rom, which is much faster and has no bloat.
---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Also, if you dislike the "unlocked bootloader" warning every time you boot, you can flash this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0R-ZTJjg7qmdl9LLTlvQlQ5Z1U/view
thanks,
which rom would you recommend?
would it be difficult to install that since i am newbie in such things?
*update:
i managed to install: "[ROM][7.0][STOCK] Debloated and optimized" but im not happy with it since Google's search bar is still there although Google app has been removed.
which ROM would be best for me, looking for something clean, simple and without bloat.
*update 2:
-installed "[7.1.x] LineageOS 14.1 for Moto G5 [cedric][UNOFFICIAL]" with Gapps pico
very happy with it, it is fast, optimized, clean and battery lasts ALOT longer then stock.
how is oreo like on this phone?
is it worth waiting official oreo or should i stay with "LineageOS" since i'm so happy with it?
Hello,
I've created a Debloat Script to systemlessly Debloat the Xperia XZ Premium via Magisk.
Tested on following Devices/Firmwares:
Xperia XZ Premium (G8141): 47.2.A.8.24, 47.2.A.10.28, 47.2.A.10.45 (Pie)
Xperia XA2
If you try on other devices give feedback. It might work on most actual Sony phones.
Attention!
The module removes Sony Home Launcher and Swiftkey Keyboard, so be sure to have another launcher and keyboard installed before you enable the module. (You can download Swiftkey regular from Playstore again)
I recommend Xperia keyboard from here.
Version Infos:
Debloat_vX.X Regular Version
Debloat_vX.XYT Doesn't remove YouTube (due to conflicts when using Debloat + YT-Vanced Magisk Module -> vanced won't show up)
If you find Bloat-apps not included in this Script just tell me and I'll add them.
Also if you succesfully use the Script on other devices/firmwares give Feedback.
Enjoy your clean XZP
Thanks to @Pointless816 for providing a huge list of Bloatware apps in his adb script (here).
Changelog:
v1.2 Fixed Property in Magisk
v1.1 Fixed apps not included in @Pointless816 Script
v1.0 Initial Release

Also if you succesfully use the Script on other devices/firmwares give Feedback.
Enjoy your clean XZP

Can you add the contrast reducer aka qualcomm assertive display feature to the list? Im entirely not sure which apk is responsible for this feature, but I'm pretty sure it's an apk and not a system file. I recently saw a display booster apk uploaded on apkmirror, some old version of it is present in the xzp.
P.S. - It's the feature responsible for turning the contrast down so low and makes everything look very light with low saturation when outdoors .

No problem mate, glad to help.
Well I've been trying to debloat my Sonys for a while now using Magisk and Titanium Backup and also another Magisk debloat mod using Termux and neither method worked. At best they would disable apps but not remove and moreover cause boot loop on restart. This mod works!!! I was sceptical at first and thought it would just remove the apps from the primary user but I added a second account to my phone and the apps were gone there too. Also I used this on my XA2 along with my XZ Premium and works for both. The only apps it didn't remove from the XA2 was Amazon Kindle and FM Radio. But I am ecstatic. Thanks alagga!

"Upon further review..." The mod doesn't actually remove the apps it merely hides them, which is OK, but I was able to still see the "deleted" apps with recovery and going into system. I then deleted them there and the few the mod doesn't touch. When it comes right down to it, it's merely a matter of aesthetics as the apps don't take up a lot of space to begin with. I just like complete control over what's on my phone.
It's still a good mod and a fast and easy way to disable and hide those unwanted apps.

This module is especially designed to do it like this. If you use this systemless removing (hiding) of the apps, system stays unmodified and so you're still able to get official OTA's

Use apk analyzer from playstore (or search for the paths manually via a filebrowser) and pass me over the paths of the apps then I'll add them to the script
(should be located either in /system/app/XXX or /system/priv-app/XXX)
Global Rom 11.0.9.0 rooted with TWRP and Magisk. Using Terminal debloater to gradually get rid of both miui bloat and google stuff.
Has been working ok until after debloating Cleaner, Games, Google Velvet, google One time initializer and google partner set up and google play services and Framework and Play store.
"Downloads" as a heading was in twice as well and took both of them out.
I would not have expected any of these to have stopped that function - anybody have a suggestion as currently cannot actually uninstall those and others?

If your trying to remove all good stuff. Maybe easier to try install a China ROM instead of global. It already has no Google.
Since you are removing playstore and framework, all other Google apps would not function.
And the cleaner app aid closely tied to miui security app, and that can't be uninstalled.

That is the point - I don't want any Google, but I also don't want loads of Chinese tracking instead.
I will probably move soon to a custom rom but wanted to try Miui first for a bit.
I will see if I can reinstall the cleaner although I have read elsewhere it was removed without fuss.

For reference for anyone else who has this issue I did this via the debloater module and lo and behold Uninstall now works........
