Why the radio app should be considered a bloatware? this is a tool for me =\
At least... good work, your deal is very interesting!
That's a cool program!
But like raz0r1991, I don't understand why radio is removed? I wouldn't consider that bloatware?

I added them in option so you can remove or not.........that's your wish
it would be nice if the user could decide which apps to remove/keep, for instance for someone Radio is not a bloatware. list of bloatware could be a part of some text file and user could just edit this file...
Good job.. Thx
do you have a kernal that we can use? I have to use the volume keys to boot to recovery, but then I get a "device not found" error. I'm on stock ics with the modified ics kernal. no oxed or anything...just stock

Hi i9100 owners!
Is there any way to locate those apps that are installed at the first bootup? I mean Kies air, Samsung IM, the animated backgrounds, and this Social Hub app (the white envelope with the blue S sign). I want to completely remove them, especially the last one. I Removed the sns.****.apk-s already and the social hub app and widget app too but this com.seven.z7.service is still there. I found it in the installed system's directory in data/app and there is all other too. But where are these in the .zip-ed custom ROM? I'm using 4.0.3 ROM.
Some custom ROM's such as SlimICS remove a TON of Samsung bloatware. Or you can root your device and use something like Root Explorer to remove the apps from the /system/app directory once you have given your device read/write commands of course!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I want to make everything done before installing a custom rom from cwm. Cleaning them after install is much simplier than before install. So I want a solution without any rootexplorer or freezing them with TBP etc.
Well good luck to you then. I don't understand why rooting your device and using Root Explorer is such a big deal. And if you use the likes of SlimICS like I suggested, it removes them all for you AUTOMATICALLY. What more can you want?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Hi,
if you uninstall / clean your device - those ****ty apps will be re-installed if you flash a Rom (if the Rom got those ****ty apps init :silly
or do you wana clean the Custom Rom itself??
Greetz
I plan to make a whole new ROM with a few modification and share with the others. Thatswhy is this so important.
If you are making a ROM then just delete them from the /system/app directory like I told you!! Having just simply used the search function would have found your answer. As the XDA noob video states, “you are not special."
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
They are not there at all. Trust me, I checked it many times.
*edit*
lol delete me
yay they r in
system/app
Mate, standard .apk's are stored in the /data/app directory (the one's that you can uninstall normally). The .apk's that you can't uninstall normally are stored in the /system/app directory and require ROOT and a ROOT EXPLORER to remove them. I would provide a screenshot but I'm on a ROM that doesn't have bloatware Why not build your ROM around the likes of SlimICS which doesn't have this ninja bloatware there already?

Installing this ROM from CWM there are the same files in the /system/app directory. Checked with root explorer.
BUT
There is a directory in /data/app with these files. I can see them in the settings/application menu too but it's impossible to delete them. They're protected. Deleting them with root exlorer from /data/app leaves blank android icons in the main menu.
I want to disable them before the installing this cus. rom.
Well Kies.apk is present in the /system/app directory so give your phone read/write permissions (little tab in Root Explorer) and then hold down on the app and select delete. I just tried with an app there and it worked and no blank icon left behind.

I'll remove it from zip and install it again. What about the others?
Anyway the Kies air on the screenshot is 10.16MB and the 2 kies apk-s in the /system/app are 350KB together...

Gosh! I realized just now, that you have no idea what I want. removing apps from /data/app causes these blank icons.
Any of these apps are in the /data/app directory.

Removing them in the applications menu is impossible!
Removing them with root explorer causes these kind of icons.
I think we sould talk about this noob theme again!
All of these apps are preinstalled with the stock system and I believe they're in a hidden place somewhere on the phone' system. They aren't in the custom ROM's zip file. I think there must be a code for disabling them at the first bootup.
The solution for this problem is sooo simple. I told you. There is a hidden partition with these ****ty apps. :good:
Try with Titanium Backup
Why don't you try with TB? Here is a list of what apps can be removed safely and what is better to leave there on Stock Rom >> https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html

thanks, i presume this is ok for .54 on an Xperia U also?
will this remove the relevant services? it's running services that's bothering me, only 512MB RAM phone is starting to lag quite bad!
not sure if it's better to freeze/delete the apks or use some startup manager to disable things on boot.

Odp: [TIP-SOLA] - System Apps safe to remove.
What is the point of removing bloatware? I mean, of course you save up rom memory, but does it really free up ram and prevent phone from lagging? For example if I don't use Timescape, live wallpaper and Japanese keyboard they don't use RAM right?

Use Titanium Backup (for rooted devices)
I really like the stock ROM and wanted to keep it, but decided to removed the bloatware. I got root with g2_security, remounted rw and proceeded to disabled all apk and enable them on a case by case basis. Here is the result, which you can use for the purpose of making your own minimalist ROM:
LGHome is required (home screen) as well as LGHome_Theme_Optimus
LGSystemUI, LGLiveWallpapersPicker, SystemUI_Provider and LGTangibleIO provide the user interface base
LGLockScreen and LGLockScreenSettings are self explanatory
LGIME + LGIME_THEME* provide the on screen keyboard
FusedLocation is required by LGHome, otherwise it will bootloop
LGSettings and LGSettingsProvider are essential as well
LGSystemServer manages a number of hardware devices (LEDs...)
SetupWizard has to run at least once iirc, otherwise the Home button does not work (but afterwards can be disabled)
DefaultContainerService is required for the installation of APKs
Note: to prevent the default APKs (LGLW_PolarBear, ...) from being installed, move them out of /system/apps/bootup. Typically I use /system/app/disabled to stored disabled APKs.
Next, the following components can be enabled depending on what you need:
LGPhone, LGTelephonyProvider, LGContacts, LGContactsProvider and LGMessage (most people will want this)
HiddenMenu for debugging infomation (use 3845#*802#)
GMS_Maps, plus com.qualcomm.location (required for GPS)
LGBluetooth4 is required to connect to Bluetooth devices
LGAlarmClock, LGClockWidget, LGBrowser, LGCalculator, LGCalendar, LGCalendarProvider and LGCameraApp are self explanatory
LGDownloadProvider and LGDownloadProviderUi is used by browser and other apps
LGEmail is useful to get an Exchange account (like, live.com) and get the calendar working if you don't enable gapps
LGFileManager, LGFlashlightWidget, LGFmRadio, LGGallery, LGMusic, LGMusicWidget and YouTube can be useful too
LGVideos, LGVoiceRecorder, LGWeather and LGWeatherTheme: ditto
MediaProvider is required for LGFileManager and possibly others too
UserDictionaryProvider for custom dictionaries
I am however using an older Maps, version 6, extracted from a nexus factory image. In particular is allows downloading much larger off-line maps.
Finally let's mention the following APKs that I'm not sure are completely necessary, but I've included them since they are part of the CyanogenMod sources:
HTMLViewer
InputDevices
KeyChain
SharedStorageBackup
VpnDialogs
After disabled useless APKs, I recommend doing a data/cache wipe from CWM, to get into a new clean state. It's worth noting I don't enable the Google Apps, since I manually install APKs that I download from another phone. This works quite well, although I had for example to patch Deezer's dex code to remove a dependency on GSF. In addition, the Phone application FC when a bluetooth headset is connected which is a bit annoying. So it's probably easier to keep the Google Apps enabled. For the record, I have disabled the following apps:

Hi,
thanks for this great list!
Now we could have a look inside the lib files
Is there a list for example what doubletabwakeup.apk makes?
Do we realy need it to wake up the device with double finger tab?
Thanks

Hi,
I can wake up or sleep with double tap without this apk.
I'd like to make a list eventually, but it's time consuming. But why not
Thanks for your reply..
A list would realy help a lot of people, how didnt know the services and apps from lg.
But for what is this app`?

I agree. As a first step you can always have a look at the manifest, run strings on the .odex and also examine the APK's resources (strings, layouts).
This usually provides enough information without resorting ti disassembly/decompiling, which is prohibited by LG's Terms of Use.
Nice inofrmation OP.
But this still does not belong to Android Development.
THREAD moved to Q&A section.
Hope someone will make a de bloater script for removing all these apps

Im assuming your rooted...?download Titanium Backup from the market and use that to delete the bloatware. Just be very carefull while deleting. If your unsure abt an app you want to delete, use the freeze option instead of deleting it. Freezing disables the app but doesnt permanently remove it. If you freeze an app amd your phone becomes unstable or you start getting a bunch of force closes you can always go back and unfreeze the app in question. There is no coming back from delting said app unless you reflash the rom. Sorry,that may have been over explaining things.

I agree, one should be very careful. When doing the tests over adb, I made sure not to reboot the phone, instead I would kill system_server to test what change disabling/reenabling an apk would do (I guess at worst I would have had to restore the backup from CWM). Nonetheless the list of APK that I provided in the first post provide a working phone, albeit in a minimalist state. I'm not going to provide a script though, it seems too risky to blindly apply any given script - instead I prefer providing an explanation for each apk so that people can avoid disabling crucial system parts.
Sorry, posted in the wrong topic

No problem. I wish I could give you LGBluetooth4 but it's been many years since I no longer have this phone.
