What happens with the apps that are frozen if I were to unroot? Do they automatically unfreeze? Or remain frozen with no way of getting them back?
most of those apps you freeze are still there , system apps belong in /System/app they don't get deleted they just remain there,frozen or (disabled) so you can very well get back to them if needed, but if you delete them they are gone.

They stay frozen, you have to unfreeze them before unrooting.. Even a wipe format reset to factory will leave the frozen apps, frozen.
I believe the system will rewite the correct permissions oce unrooted and rebooted on its own...

Nope, I unrooted, rebooted, wiped and the frozen apps were still missing. Had to reroot, unfreeze apps, unroot, and reboot. YMMV
I always do a nandroid bkup with my "clean" ROM...then I use my "other" one for freezing/deleting...can always go back to stock!

Unfortunately for you, a hard reset is probably the easiest way. Then do an app/data restore from Titanium again, but DON'T restore system apps this time!
can someone please post a messaging system app from titanium on sg2 so i can restore that?

You'll need to put this in the system/apps folder to reinstate it, but this may not fix the problem as there may be associated files that you also need. Only 1 way to find out
mmm, i sent it to myself in a email and downloaded and installed over the top, but still no good.

You'll need to hard reset then. Since you have a backup to restore, it'll only take 5 minutes. Like I said, just don't restore system apps.
ill try one more thing, installing root explorer and see if i delete all the old stuff and install then.

You're not actually trying to install the apk by running it, are you?
tried to haha. but now i deleted the original via root explorer then uploaded the one you gave me back in there
didnt work gahh. it doesnt think the app exists now..
I hate to sound like a broken record, but do a hard reset. If you'd have done it earlier, you'd be using your phone by now

Are you on stock rom or custom ROM.
IF you are on stock rom then you cannot uninstall stock apps.
If you uninstall them somehow then also factory/data reset wont bring them back.

Download the app called 'AppSaver' from the market. It backs up the .apk files of all the apps on your phone and stores them on the SD card. So whatever you do with the phone, the .apks are always there on the SD card and you can install all the apps again, without downloading them from the market.
P.S. the app takes backup of only the .apk and not the data. Eg: If you back up Angry birds, it just backs up the .apk and the levels/scores you achieved would not be backed up.

you can be rooted and still be using the stock rom. in that case, just install titanium backup or root uninstaller, both of which give you the option to uninstall stock apps
I have Ultratoxic Rom installed and I want to do a back up with titanium
Click on Batch and then Back up all user apps +system data of which there are 203. It starts and then the phone reboots so no back up done.
I would like to have a back up so that If I do move to another Rom I can always revert back to this one.
Is there something I am doing wrong or how can I fix it?
Answers on a postcard
I've never heard of this ROM..anyway what i suggest trying is booting into recovery and fixing permissions and try again and see how you get on, failing that a full wipe and start again might be the only other option.

The details of the Rom are Here
Re booted in recovery and fixed permissions and then rebooted. Tried to back up go to about 3% & phone rebooted again no back up done
Is it necessary to back up the all user apps and system data? Most of the apps I can get again from the market? Tried backing them up separately and the same thing happens when I go to backup all the system data of which there are 164. The Back up of the user apps went ok?
If I do a full wipe this would clear all the crap from the ROM and I would have to flash it again but have not back up correct?
Can anyone help me with this or offer suggestions ?
Thanks
Considering that ROM appears to come with a custom kernel, try a stock kernel.
Try to do the same backup selecting "Exclude active apps" instead of "Kill active apps". You shouldn't have any problem.

Without killing them you get also a reboot? Then maybe the problem is somewhere else...
Try the following: Do the same batch backup but deselect all the items in the list that are in red, and tell us if the phone still reboots. Also, when doing a batch backup, if you look at the progress bar, you can see what app is trying to backup. Try to see in which app the phone restarts and see if its the same all the time, maybe its the apps problem and not TB.

That did the trick it was Busy box that I had to remove. What do all the items that are red mean?

How did you remove Busybox? What's that anyway? I'm experiencing the same restart as you do. Running Lite'ning ROM though.

The items in red are system services, so killing them could lead the phone to be unstable (or reboot).

You can find info about Busybox here: http://busybox.net/about.html
You should not remove it since many apps (such as Titanium Backup) use it. You should deselect it from the batch backup list instead.
Thanks! Deselecting system apps did the trick!
If I flash the full stock JB through LGNPST, will my apps get wiped, or would it be like an OTA update?

I just did the JB LGNPST (on top of JB)... Everything remained same (apps) except for SD card got wiped, Root lost but all the apps I installed remained and frozen apps stayed frozen. I thought It will bring me back to Stock Factory state. Is it the same with you guys? Cos it been long I did PGNPST... Forgot how it was...

Heu there guys, any guide/list of apps safe to be debloated on our non rooted G6?
+1!
Can't remember what thread it is but there's an app called LG package disabler that will on install show what can be disabled/debloated. I'll go back and look but I'm pretty sure they mention under read more that they'll have a listing of what's debloatable in a future update. App is 99ยข over been using icebox since it was the first sick app I came across that did this. Using it with greenify has helped with battery life for me. Not as good as root and pulling the bloat off the phone, but at least it's not eating resources of frozen

Beautiful man. Even in custom roms I can pull 100mb from the build. And this is exactly what I've been looking for. Gonna dig into it deeper later on.
Now we just need a way to install mods to the stock build. Using the dual speaker mod for example. Is there anyway anybody knows to make those changes through adb? Like this deal? (which I've yet to try admittedly) seems as if you should be able to push an apk or file to the system through adb. Can you change the name on the file mentioned using this method or something like it or is it a root only thing?
The reason I'm pushing on this is that when you take your rig to an LG tech they need some way to modify things if needed. How would they do it is my $1,000,000.00 question.
And seriously guys, if I'm posting in the wrong place let me know please. Thanks
Good find! ?

Sorry for being off-topic: jelly scrolling on OP5 cant get be fixed because its hardware related. they installed the screen the opposite way and have to turn 180 degree via software.

Factory restore should not restore them, I have not tried it though. Hard to say if OTA will or not but also shouldn't.
Updating with LG Bridge I think will restore them though.

I've tried and it doesn't uninstall, just deactivates the apps. At least in my case. The factory reset restores all the apps again.

Great, thanks guys exactly what I needed to know. Appreciate it.
adb method = disabling apps that can't be disabled/accessed via the Apps menu.
apks are still in the system; gonna need root to clear that out for real
Does this void warranty or nah? Does using ADB for things like this or Greenify void warranty? That's my only issue before trying this out
