Removing my list, because even though I tested each removal seperately, this list has caused problems for some people. Sorry for frakking up once again.
Be very very careful with the T-Mobile P769BK. As of today we do not have a KDZ for factory restore. If you remove an apk that causes FC you are out of luck and may need to send your device in for replacement.
Here is a backup of the /system partition: http://db.tt/tWvxsAqC
It contains root files, but other than that it is bone stock.
Also, a possible recovery image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100520
Just dont freeze or uninstall LG Setup Wizard. It will brick the phone
I find it better to disable unwanted apps from App Manager, instead of removing physically. More safer than just workingaround.

With the free version you can only modify one app at a time. It doesn't allow batch operations

What else do we need as a backup of the T-Mobile P769? I have CWM installed and can go back to stock pretty easily.

I just used the App Manager capability of ES File Explorer and it worked quite well. I first selected the apps I wanted to delete and backed them up. Then I copied the backups onto my SD card for storage later. Then I removed the safe apps one by one. This way, I have a backup .apk of the removed apps should they need to be restored. Freezing may work well too.

@allactionandy11, thanks a lot for tip.
Damn me. ES Explorer was installed by me since day 1 in all devices and roms I used but never went in System Apps Section of APP MANAGER, in it. After taking backup, I uninstalled all the craps, even video player. I use MX Player. Then restarted the device and no force close or no application manager error or nothing. All smooth and sound. Thanks a lot pal. :good:
Just so that everyone is aware, if you accidentally delete any important system files and don't have a backup, iB4STiD has posted a zip with all of them under the "Themes and Apps" section. Be sure to thank him!
I followed this list and just did a hard reset. I got 'the application lgsetupwizard process com.android.lgsetupwizard has stopped unexpectedly'.
So people, be careful.
Also...now i need help.

Did you remove the lg setup wizard app by accident? Did you install the recovery?
Thanks for the reply. No I didn't remove lg setup wizard. I can still go into the settings and I just checked it and it's still there.

I just went through the same problem. I am sure that it came from my removal off the T-Mobile carrieriq apks. What happens is that if you remove these apps then hard reset the phone the lg set-up wizard will crash once it gets to the point where it would normally ask you if you would like to "opt in" to sending data to T-Mobile (carrier iq).
Needless to say I was very frustrated that I couldn't get out of the set up loop.
Here's what I did to finally get out of it:
With set-up running (before the point where it would crash), I accessed settings from the status bar...the icon to the right of the date.
Once in settings go to developer options.
In developer options look for "don't keep activities" and check that box.
Once you have that box checked then try to complete the set-up again....I think I had to make it crash 2 or 3 more times, but then magically it finally closed and returned me to the normal home screen.
Hope that helps...
Also I noticed that LG just released a new firmware today for USA L9's...so you could also just connect your phone via usb and use the lg support tool to download the latest firmware. I believe the new version is 10g:good:
ah ****. i wish i had the patient to wait a little longer. I returned the phone to tmobile yesterday. Thanks guys for all the inputs.
See this thread for another way to get rid of bloatware.

how do I put a launcher into system apps? Just drag and drop somewhere?
Move the app to /system/Apps then change the permissions to rw-r--r--
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
I feel like an idiot for asking this but, under what directory is my launcher located? lol
If u downloaded one from market it should be under /data/app
Then just find the apk. Mine was golauncher that I moved. It had a different name for the apk but was similar. Had go launcher in the name.
---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------
Just do NOT freeze or remove you current launcher(for example blur home) until u know your new launcher is working right as u could get stuck.
I'm using es file explorer and when i navigate to "/data" the folder is empty.
Could some explain the purpose of moving an add-on launcher to " /system/Apps "?
Or what is the Op trying to do?
Thanks
BTW Do not freeze the stock Home app as you will never be able to boot to safe mode and avoid an SBF when you could have uninstalled a bad program instead.

Are u rooted?
Is there an option in es file menu settings to browse as root?
I use root explorer for ALL my file management needs. It is worth the money spent to have it FOREVER
And i moved itI to system because I have my blue home sitting on my sd card so it don't run.
So if I do a user data wipe it doesn't delete it ....at least it hasn't deleted it yet...it tricks the phone to think it is a true system app. U only lose it when flashing a new rom or something that delete ir overwrite your /system
And im on eclipse remix. It seems that ALL my system apps have owners root and root.
So I dunno if changing to that helps anything but I did that along with permission changes.
Safe mode boot:
Phone off.
Hold menu (left most) key while pwr'ing on and keep on the menu key until long vibrate or lock screen.
Save yourself from at worst, reflashing your rom, leave your stock home app alone.
So what is the purpose of moving the launcher?
Hi,
I finally got the XEU ICS update on my i9100-gt.
but now am stuck with a superuser app i cannot get rid of.
I don't want to root again but want to removed this app
any ideas?
Yes, please someone help. This is annoying me.
Download Android System Info(its free) from Google play. It has the option to uninstall superuser.
sorry just tried it and it does not uninstall.
From within the SuperSU app, go to settings, scroll down to cleanup then full unroot.
SuperSU will be uninstalled.
Just tried it and it works.
Superuser would have been pushed as a system app before the update. The update sounds like its removed root rights, leaving the Superuser app stock.
I don't think you'll be able to remove it without root, so use this guide below, it shows you how to root / unroot your device without flashing kernels. Hope it helps

Thx for replying! But which "instructions" do you mean? I am sorry I don't understand your comment ....
Regarding flashing, I have read numerous posts during the last days regarding how to do this, and I think I now know how to do it with heimdal (I have a Mac), but the question I have what should I flash?
I understand that I can flash only the partition I need to flash; there is no need to flash everything (less risks). I found the Rom for my phone (I9100XWLSD_I9100OXXLS6_NEE.zip, for Nordic countries in EU) and downloaded the pit file from the telephone. The pit file is a partition table, showing the different partitions of the phone: image, param, modem, factory's, sb1.bin, boot.bin, hidden, cache.img. I do not have all corresponding files in the zip file, but I have read this is no problem.
If the su app has put files in the root system (as reported in various posts), shouldn't I flash the "factoryfs" (=factory file system?) partition? It looks this one holds the system.
Does flashing the kernel ("zimage") do the trick? Or do I mix up what is contained in what?
If I don't need to flash, I would prefer not to do so (little scared..), so I would like to understand exactly what is described in the previous post. Unfortunately I do not understand the cryptical text. It's for sure simple for experts, but difficult for me, not being an expert like the rest of the people in this forum. Your explanations are appreciated !

Is it possible to use Xposed on this device to get rid off the ZenUI ?
Xposed - I don't know. Z380 own my kids.
It doesnt have to be Xposed, but atleast I want to make it run more smooth.
1) by removing bloatware (using root + uninstall master app)
2) by custom rom (i.e. Xposed or...) ?
3) any other recommendations? I see Greenify/Amplify being mentioned?
1) Titanium Backup or anything else.
2) Custom rom - unfulfilled wish yet
3) I prefer Naptime - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze

1) Titanium I've installed and going to make a backup for System and Apps.
I assume this backup is needed in case you remove something which causes the system to get unstable right?
But if it causes too much instability, like not starting up nomore, how can you run the backup afterwards?
2) I've searched alot, but it seems there is no Custom ROM for Z380C out-there yet.
the_mechanical tried but failed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71498513&postcount=13
3) I tried Naptime, but it seems not compatible with Android 5.0.2. Greenify it is for me (since Amplify needs Xposed).
the_mechanical has some tips what to disable here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71671116&postcount=15
1) I know what I can uninstall. If will be any problem you can use Asus AFT flash tool with RAW image for rollback - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65929688&postcount=210.
2) Probably not
3) Yes you are right. Naptime is working only on 6.0+.

I went there because I bricked my device when tried to flash a recovery found from the internet. I tried this flashing because the 'factory test mode' was gone after I tried to root with king root .it was showing a 'no command' error when I am trying to go to 'factory test mode' I did that flashing only to restore that. But it ended in a bricked device. So I had to go there and they helped me. I also asked them for stock rom but they didn't give me. I didn't check king root yet with this rom. The current rom i have is same as yours. Ls 4006.
But I don't clearly think which I had before. I guess that was Ls 4007.

Can you give full details about your OS.

That will help many.

So have you uninstalled all those bloatwares from your phone .?
If you did so , you had any problems because of the so-called system app removal?.
I'm asking this because I used to disable all those useless system apps , but as a result this phone was restarting frequently without my knowledge. So I did suspect this app disabling and so I restored all these disableed apps. And then the problem solved. You had any issues like this,?
Now I heard about an bloatware removal tool and I wish to try that to get a rid of this bloatwares.
What you say?
Share me your experience.

Yes I have removed much bloatware applications. But first let me know which system apps you want to uninstall so that I can guide you for apps which can cause bootloop after uninstalling.But Don't worry

I'm a little worried because I don't have any stock rom backup so if something went wrong like something I mentioned in the above post , I have to go again the LYF Care . So you please just check whether all those apps mentioned above are removed or not.
If you still have any apps mentioned above just take it's backup apk using SD Maid and uninstall those apps. So that you can check whether any system instability arises due to the uninstallation.
Please check right now and tell me. I'm waiting for your reply.

I'm a little worried because I don't have any stock rom backup so if something went wrong like something I mentioned in the above post , I have to go again the LYF Care . So you please just check whether all those apps mentioned above are removed or not.
If you still have any apps mentioned above just take it's backup apk using SD Maid and uninstall those apps. So that you can check whether any system instability arises due to the uninstallation.
Please check right now and tell me. I'm waiting for your reply.

Ok. And you had no issues?
So Ok. Hope there won't be any problems. I will be proceeding to the uninstallation.

No .There will be no issues. I will suggest you uninstalling through lucky patcher.I found it best for such operations. You may encounter 'unfortunately stopping pop-up messages of applications' .so don't worry just restart your device.I did the same

You would probably be doing so for freeing up some system space.I will suggest you to update app to system(apps like play store,play services and some other useful system apps keep the original system stock app even if you update the application). So you should integrate update to system which will remove the old system app by updated one so you will have much more free space and whenever you factory reset your device ,you will get the updated system apps installed.

I have downloaded those files you have uploaded. I have a few questions about it.
Did you ever tried to flash it to phones other than yours. ?
If you have done it, did you flash it using just fastboot or used any other special software?
You have also provided a twrp recovery. But that recovery doesn't have boot.img and system.img missing. That doesn't seems okay . Are you sure about it ? Please check it.
How did you root your device?
I been trying Kingroot for a while but it's not working for me.
My build number is LYF_LS_01_12
I am also planning to build a custom ROM based on the stock ROM because in the latest update, they made the icons look really ugly . Also it will be a practice for me learn custom ROMing.
But before I proceed, your suggestions would be helpful for me.
So please make some time to answer those questions above.
Once again thank you very much for your effort to upload those files with that slow connection.
Very thank full to you

Not flashable ????
I'm no developer yet but I thought you are. I was so happy when I see those files. It's sad when you says not flashable.
But okay , I am learning about flashing and custom ROMing and I will do my level best to help you guys.
I will be soon starting a new thread with full details about those files given by you. Let's see what Devs here talks about it. I really need to root and custom ROM it. Only problem is that I don't have any other phone for testing. I got only this one for all of my needs. I thought you already flashed it in your phone.
Anyway, thanks for your help and let's see what I can do.
Bye. See you .
Hello everyone.
I have an LG V30 US998 (former H931) and want to remove included system apps, such as google movies and tv, google music, chrome, facebook, and other apps which I use, but I always prefer to not have them as system apps. I'm rooted, and have used "System App Safe Remover" (used to be called root uninstaller) to remove this kind of apps for many years, on many different phones, and did mot need to be in a custom rom for this. Issue is, no matter how much I insist, apps are confirmed removed, but even if I reboot (app already has root granted) the apps are still there!
Does the LG V30 have some sort of encryption or something? I also tried batch uninstaller, same results. Tried going into the root system partition using FX Explorer root, and I am not able to delete any app (permission denied, even though I'm root and have granted access to fx).
Any tips? Do I have to use adb debloat (never used before)? What could be the reason? I have "force encrypt" in Magisk set to "off" if that helps. I also flashed the "disable dm verify" and "AK3 rctd" files (don't remember if this was in frankenstein thread or oreo root/unlock thread).
TLDR: How can I remove system apps from LG V30 stock Oreo (Yes, I'm aware of the risks)?

The risks are you will increase lag significantly and/or break functionality. Not like the old Android days where every apps (package) is in totally separate silo. Remove and it's gone. Now the software is all tied together. The phone will pause will looking for something before moving on.
You are NOT saving any USER space by removing SYSTEM apps. This is not something you can re-claim.
Similarly, if you use Chrome, what's wrong with having it as a system app? That's MORE space over on the user side for other stuff.
Simply FREEZE the system apps you don't wish to use with Titanium Backup. They will not run, will not be seen, but doing that will not create lag because you shot a hole in the LG firmware web.

None of that has anything to do with what you are asking about.

If you remove something you didn't know the system needs, then you have to reinstall your firmware to fix the issue. FREEZING disables the app, and if you find you DO need it after all, you can easily unfreeze it.

Oh ok, thanks for the reply. Last phone I used also had Oreo, but same as LG V30, it wasn't the original OS, it got updated to it, I could still remove those apps. To me it was mostly the forced google apps, but if they really don't affect anything, then I guess I'll leave them there. Thanks.

There is a Magisk Module for it "Debloater" download that along with terminal
And in Terminal app
Command
su (it will prompt for root access)
Debloat (you'll get list of system apps you can remove)
You can select by entering number
Before doing so always backup your data and do it at your own risk ,you can disable the app if not remove that works for me

Ok. But let's say I removed Google Chrome and Gmail, would that affect anything? My idea is to not touch anything from LG...but I had the other reply saying I shouldn't remove anything nowadays.

Honestly I used to debloat way before Oreo often deleted apk's myself from system/app being lazy maybe Debloater removes an app properly but yes he's right even if you explore apps in system or data folder they are in folders now
If you are backed up and have the kdz thn give it a try I did saw someone using Debloater on Oreo/Pie though

But "way before Oreo" means probably on another phone?
There was two or three "debloater" threads going at one point, and people then kept asking in OTHER threads
"Why does AOD no longer work?"
"Why did my VoLTE stop working?"
"Why is my V30 so slow?"
MY V30 isn't slow. MY AOD works.
The common element it turned out was they all were debloating stuff just prior to these issues.
People just now getting this phone don't understand the modern firmware. Nothing is labeled "safe" and "dangerous" to remove. Everything is connected. If it's a system app, just freeze it.
Yes as I mentioned it was on previous versions of Android using explorer method The Debloater thing I came across among top Magisk module list which I had to look up for myself as in other thread I did ask for Magisk and Xposed compatible with V30 didn't get any response
Personally I don't think Removing Chrome or similar app could mess up entire system , one could give it a try in step by step manner
I am not aware if those other users removed some essential LG apps from system because even back in older days debloating if not done properly would often end up with system stopped working boot loop etc
