Is there a way to remove some of the watch faces that came with the watch? There are several that I know I will never use, and it makes switching between the ones that I would use time consuming because I have to swipe so many times.
I assume root will be required, but since I got mine recently I haven't tried that yet. That's something I'll definitely do shortly.

I recently rooted my note 2 with the root injection process. found the thread on how to get all apps in multiview. Followed the steps correctly, (which I must say was brilliant!!!) reset my phone, and opened multiview. Every app was there, as they should have been. However, when I drag the app over to the screen, they go into full screen. even if I drag one of the original multiview apps 1st, then another, the 2nd app will shade half of the screen like it is going to be half screen but then it blows up to full screen. Can anyone help with this. I really love this feature and would like to get everything to be able to be multiview. Any ideas of where I am going wrong???
Unlock and install a custom rom. Problem solved buddy

Hello XDA Community, I have come to turn to you looking for a little bit of light to bed shed on my first forray into real mobile technology and learning to root.
I recently was ably to root my Note 3 (n900a - mj5) with Kingo, and it was incredibly easy! I have this community to thank for helping me find that information. After doing a basic root ( no flashing or anything) I went ahead and started to remove all of the bloatware on my device. I followed some basic guides and the spreadsheet for Bloatware that is floating around, and I can also reverse any particular uninstall if I need to. Everything seems to function fine, but what I have noticed since rooting my phone (which I basically did right away, so I have no real comparison as to how it should function normally) was that I often get a notification "Unfortunately, X program has stopped working" with various programs. It initially started while I was doing the first uninstalls with Advanced Uninstall Expert. I would queue up a number of programs to uninstall, and after a couple would go it would inevitably give me the aforementioned notification. It doesn't cause many serious problems, but it is certainly disconcerting on a new device to see it so much.
So to my main question, does this seem like something I may have caused with maybe a small uninstall of a system program (even though it happened before I had uninstalled more than a couple of simple obvious apps) or is this maybe an instability with the phone / OS? Should I unroot and factory reset, then use it normally to see if this still persists? I just picked the phone up on Friday and so I am within my 14 day period, and I still have 0x0 so I could do that if this seems like a problem with the device. I am just very inexperienced in regards to this field and want to reference any other sources I can.
Thank you in advance for any insight you can offer regarding this problem, I look forward to seeing any responses you have for me.
Sounds like you are just freezing apps and not deleting them? How are you going about freezing them? Is it Knox security warnings by chance? Did install recovery and make a backup? I would unfreeze all apps if you have in fact just been freezing them so you are stock other than root and try it out for a day. If it's still happening you may need to Odin back to stock and see if that helps.

Thank you so much for the reply.I usually just press the home button to exit and then I will use the app manager to end the active processes. I recently found the way to clear apps from memory and I'm keeping an eye on it now. The only weird thing is I seem to be running about a constant. .9 gigs in my ram when only swift key is running even after clearing my ram so I'm trying to figure out what that's all about. Anyways I will most likely Odin to stock and take a slower approach to trying things out. Thank you once again for the information.

Nothing wrong with .9 gigs ram. On odex blue I usually sit around 1.4 to 1.6 gigs. Not sure what your looking to get out of it but your not going to see better running touch wiz. There are a few debloated roms you may want to try rather than trying to accomplish it yourself.

I have 2 Note 3's in our household rooted with Kingo and they don't have such problems. Sounds to me like you've frozen or uninstalled some programs that are causing the unstableness. I've been too enthusiastic before in the past freezing and deleting bloatware & other system apps and experienced similar issues as yours.
These days, I keep the freezing and deleting to a minimum.
Hi All,
Anyone here have any issues with Smartshare.Provider killing your battery remorselessly? I can never make it happen but at random times sharing a picture results in my battery being almost completely drained in 2-3 hours. If I remove it I have no gallery. Please somebody help me be free of this on a permanent basis? This little thing is making me hate LG with a passion!
Nobody??
Have absolutely none of you run into this? I can replicate this on 2 LG G5's running 2 different roms. This isn't an issue with a specific rom but rather a **** sharing service included by LG so that you can share your selfies to an LG Smart TV. I don't even have a smart tv and this service is ruining the use of this phone.

I don't use Smartshare at all, I have removed it via the Fluence HD patch. Also, why would anybody use such an App at all? Just share your screen via Chromecast and start some gallery app.
If you are rooted, you can also use the Fluence HD patch to debloat your device, or you can manually uninstall system apps with tools like 3C Toolbox (available via Play Store).
In case you aren't rooted, you should be able to at least freeze such useless apps.
This should work for you if you cannot root your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Again it happens.

I don't use it. When I tried to rip it out I broke the gallery. It pop up at random times and just annihilates my battery. How do I know it's happening? I feel my pocket heating up as my battery hits 20%, in fact it just happened again and I haven't shared a single thing today from my phone. This is just a terrible piece of bloatware!
Also, I am on RomAur 1.1. Will that patch work for my Rom?

Since you are rooted, you can use 3C Toolbox/ Titanium Backup/ something similar to deinstall it. If it breaks the LG gallery, so what? Install another gallery and call it a day.

I'm on RomAur too and have had all the SmartShare apps frozen with Titanium Backup from day 1, no issues with my Gallery at all.
There are 4 SmartShare apps listed in TiBu - all 4 are frozen and Gallery still works. Maybe try TiBu yourself
Victory! So far...

I just took another swing at it and it works. This time it looks like it didn't wreck the gallery, even after reboot. LG really dropped the ball with that little gem.
Hi guys, can anyone tell me how can I fix this situation, because when I'm using my Nexus 9 most of the times when I minimize an app and open other, most of the time the app that I minimize will restart.
Did a factory defaults and options in developper seem to be ok, no restritctions regarding apps on backgroung.
Usually I play Star wars Galaxy of heroes, and if I change to discord (chat app) when I return it restarts my game
I also noticed that Ram availability is low, and I did a factory default 2 days ago, only installed the game and discord, nothing else.
Any suggestion?? Should I Root and Install a new ROM, if so what would you recommend?
I would prefer to Keep the actual OS if there's a fix for it
Thanks
I can't help but wonder if this is similar to what mine does. The apps in the recent display disappear -not all of them but definitely 50%. This does not happen on my N5X. I can't say when it started but at least 4 months ago.

Hi, the apps don't disappear, the tabs are there, they simply restart when I select them instead of just changing back to the previously running app.
It's kind of annoying when I'm on the middle of a game and want to check out something else, if I switch to chrome or other app there is a big risk that the game will restart and I will lost any progression made...same happens with other apps.
After updating to latest Android Wear app for my phone, the app just shows a blank screen with the usual cloud background -- no watch face options, etc. It shows the watch as connected, but I can't get to any of the settings. Same thing after rebooting both the phone and watch, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the app. When I use Titanium Backup to restore the previous version everything is fine again. Anyone else encountering this?

Everything works fine on mine after the updates. Sorry IP this is happening to you.

no problem here
Well, hmmm....I wonder what my deal is? I've tried it quite a few times and no dice. I guess I'll just keep using the old version and wait to see if another update fixes it. I had to do this once before when the watch was running Wear v1.5, too. I'm pretty sure the update is mostly cosmetic anyway, so I doubt I'm missing much. Thanks for the responses!
PS - Good to see you here scjjtt!
I factory reset the watch and paired/set everything up all over again and now it's working. A few other things are actually working better, so apparently something was messed up even though the problem with the AW app was the only thing I noticed. Setting up the watch all over again isn't that difficult to do with Wear 2.0.
