Lgvs980 4.4.2 debloat list - G2 General

Since 4.4.2 has been out a while now, I feel we should compile a list of apps that may be removed. I know there are lists like this but not for 4.4.2, this will prove useful to many people. Post what you've removed!

Will someone please take over the black it all out theming? I really enjoy prstereros work and would like to see some updates.

Yes it would be nice to see someone pick this up. I love this mod. Sucks prstereos discontinued this but it is wat it is

Please? I really want everything on my phone blacked out. If not black, then dark. I am so sick of white. Black is just too sick.

If you want a blacked out rom that is great flash Eclipse!
I was actually considering that, but I am a TW freak. Anything AOSP can fizzle away.. TW was one of the main turn to's when deciding if I wanted iPhone 5 or S4. Thanks anyways though. I really hope SBreen pulls through with his new RLS update coming soon

I'm a tw fan myself but aosp can be fun until breen releases rls8. I was messing around with eclipse ROM on a friends s4. I liked the darkness style I must say
Sent from my Beastly powered S4 using Tapatalk 4
I agree I like the darkness, but being on a ME7 Rom makes the choices even harder. The best I have been able to do if find some Phone and Contacts, no MMS. I keep hoping that Gadget! will release something.
That's one of my main reasons I haven't moved to a me7 ROM. I hate the white backgrounds in contacts,MMS,and phone. Plus I'm a hyperdrive man. That ROM is to epic to switch until breen updates his ROM to me7.
Sent from my Beastly powered S4 using Tapatalk 4
There are only two people that have worked on dark themes, gadget and prstereros. They both have stopped development. Is there anything else out there for TW? Maybe a different modding website I can go to?

I installed the blacked out apps from Hyperdrive hub on RSL7. He may have stopped development on the blacked out Sammy apps, But they all work. At least for me. Contacts. Dialer. Email. Splanner. Calc. Then I went to get nitroglycerin33 inverted gapps and installed those. I'm right as rain. Got my dark look fix.
Also messaging.

I am MDK. This is what im on...
This is where you can come to get your stock S4 apps blacked out! The white background for MMS, contacts, calculator, etc are so bright, and annoying! Not to mention the fact that the S4 has a Super AMOLED display, which consumes a ton of power while using apps with white backgrounds. This is why i have done what i have. If you text a lot, this can help save some battery life, as black pixels take 0 power to display. This will now flash everything in one go (MMS, Contacts, Phone, and Calculator).
This should work on any deodex build (no word on the ME7 deodex yet). The main version is Verizon/Sprint and there's a separate T-Mobile version. I haven't had any reports about AT&T

Q: Can i get just (insert app here) separate if i don't want the others blacked out?
A: To keep this clean, i won't make separate flashes for each zip. Open it on your computer and delete what ones you don't want.
Since some people seem to not read my post one page back, I'll restate things here. THIS IS DISCONTINUED. The reason being I don't have time to do multiple versions for multiple carriers. You can all thank the ota for causing this.

I have a TW build and a GE build. It just has several AOSP components in my TW build.
Instead of roms or mods, is there somewhere on the internet that will teach me android coding for the s4? I would rather play around with files myself to change colors. I just have no clue where to start.

Throwing it out there but my new thread will be going up shortly. Planning including custom themed and blacked system apps, mods, various flashables, etc. Everything's aosp though at this point. Right now have close to 400 lock rings, glowdots, search lights, full lock screen widget mods, halo mods, and just about anything u can think of in regards to framework and systemui mods (hdpi,xhdpi as well as xxhdpi of course)
Also including my flashable full blackout, holo, and custom themed mods. Banners, boots, and graphics will also be included as requests come in.
Whole aspect of what Im wanting to do is having the thread head to toe custom stuff. My work is far from ordinary or topical. No batch editing and not one request, mod, or themed app is the same & absolutely love it making heads turn. Lol
Soon as I have everything caught up and organized I will get the thread Rollin. I will keep my eye open at that point to see if anyone has taken over/continuing your work.

Relax dude. Until samsung or htc comes out with a stock 4.4 rom, LG would not be considered behind. I am confident that LG is working on a 4.4 rom and skipped 4.3 completely.

LG G2 Korea version will launch 4.4
From China website "bbs.gfan.com" thread said 4.4 is being in private test (F320L17F_00.kdz) for Korea version F320L so high likely will get stock rom 4.4 update (F320L20X_00.kdz).

I hope that LG in their Android 4.4 KitKat update for LG G2 includes the multiwindow feature similar to Samsungs as shown in this Youtube video below. Watch the 0:50 - 1:20 mark. It looks like this LG multiwindow feature will be headed to the LG G Flex.

I don't think that you even read the article, it was published on 14 Nov and discussed the claims of French carrier SFR that the LG G2 Android 4.4 KitKat update would roll out in either November or December of this year. The author concluded that LG G2 users will be waiting until next year for an Android 4.4 KitKat update.

S4 ROMs. Where are they?

The ROM thread was last updated in October. I can't seem to find all the ROMs based on the lastest OTA update. I'm assuming there are a bunch of ROMs based on that. Is development dead for this phone or are they just on another site?

Nitro has a progress build for mj7 on his eclipse website. When it is ready he'll post it here. Sbreen94 is also working on a 4.3 build but it isn't up yet. That is all the action I'm aware of @ the moment.
I don't believe development is dead for this phone. Check the threads in Android and original development. Lots of choices.

Need ROM Testers

Title says it all! This ROM will be my extremely debloated vzw note 3 rom for retail/safestrap users.
This means it will only have bare essentials functioning such as calls, wifi, lte, sms/mms etc..
All bloat removed and I mean ALL bloat removed.
I also will have native hotspot, knox free, deodex and odex versions, read write fix rooted busybox etc..
I also remove stock keyboard and add in these futures from Android L instead of stock:
Launcher
Bootanimation
alarm sounds
some ui sounds
ringtones
notifications
keyboard
might be missing something
Goal is to get around 600-700mb total rom size so we can have over 1gb of free ram.
Also, due to debloating you have more internal memory and awesome battery life.
It has been a hit on the vzw s5 and ive had some requests to build it for the note 3.
im asking for testers since i do not have a vzw note 3 to test myself but it should be safe to test! i will be uploading it here soon as im done so post here if you want to help me out in testing so i can pm you a link once uploaded.
In the meantime you can check out my thread in the vzw s5 development page to see what people are saying!

Lollipop 5.0 - Not that sweet

A few weeks ago, my Nexus 5 got the OTA Lollipop 5.0 update. After rooting it using the WugFresh root tool kit, I had some time to mess around in it and it's not that big of an improvement over 4.4.x, IMHO. I am actually enjoying my 4.4.2 ZV6 with the xposed framework way more than the AOSP version of Lollipop. I think the much anticipated Lollipop has had way too much hype and the improvements generally serve Google and Service providers more than the end user. I'm content to wait till our developers get their hands on our official G3 release. Until then, it's all good.
After seeing this review:
http://youtu.be/-S_jlTfbwFk
and playing with rom deodexed zv6 4.4.2 I am not impressed with 5.0 either. I really like this zv6 update and all its features, plus I keep my root and bump. My xposed modules still work. I'm a happy camper. :thumbup:
ROM I flashed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56953010
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
Once there's a complete, 100% working, stable Lollipop ROM for the LS990 I may try it, but at the moment I'm not really inclined to give up all the customization I've made to make MY G3 My OWN. A lot of things I've done just aren't going to work on 5.0 right now. Maybe never. Certainly not without root. 5.0 is just way more locked down than previous versions, greatly limiting the things apps can do.
And the OP is right, I think. A lot of the changes benefit the manufacturers, carriers, and corporate interests more than they do users like us.
Materialz. Nuff said.
The look isn't nearly enough to make up for the loss of functionality.
Even if I liked the look, which I don't. Dear God, some of the colors Google has put in there are just puke-inducing ugly.
I don't see nothing special about 5.0. Am guessing most of it is under the hood. I like the animations but the colors don't do it for me.

I don't see nothing special about 5.0. Am guessing most of it is under the hood. I like the animations but the colors don't do it for me.

I agree. It looks like they really mailed it in. We can complain about the manufacturer overlays like LG Touchwiz, Sense etc., but without some touch up, it's unappealing. Unfortunately there's the bloatware from the carrier. Xposed and the customization modules, or custom. roms from our developers really give it some pop.

I felt same after running it or preview in nexus 4 earlier this year. Or ending last year. Can't remember. But its the same ugly color. I don't like the white background. I actually think they are going back to cupcake. Lmao. But I too love the speed and animations. Material is awesome idea. But we have lg ..they did ok but I'm still either way going to need major theming. Lol
