Thanks. The LG package disabler is removed from play store. The first method is removal of apps from current user (kinda like disable). Tried to use pm disable command, that didn't work. I guess the disable command requires root.

It was removed, but added back a couple of weeks ago under different dev name. It's been removed AGAIN?
I just checked and I see it in Google Play store.

Transaction keeps getting declined in Play Store when I go to buy it. Totally weird.

You can add your own Google account in the settings, then just disable the sync on the old one or delete it.
您可以在设置中添加自己的Google帐户,然后只是禁用旧帐户中的同步或将其删除

There isnt a way to bypass factory reset protection on the lg v30 but thats a question of security to be figured out.
I think you need to go into the hard reset option using volume down and power. This will remove primary Google account (or so I've read) when the settings factory restore won't.

Can anyone verify this method works? I have an LG v35 that is Google locked, I checked with att, it's not blacklisted or stolen and would like to see if this method worked for anyone

Even "refurbish" (I think) needs previous account if it was not factory reset first while signed in.
Last weekend I accidentally refurbished my wife's phone when I meant to update. I felt stupid. I just wasn't paying attention, doing other stuff. But I know her password.
After I entered in her information, it said it was validated with "previous account" or something like that.

Push notifications broken for some apps

Back when I was still using the Nexus 6P and it got the oreo update, I've noticed the notifications were broken for a lot of apps. After some research I've found out that restoring app backups via TB breaks notifications. However, there were still issues with some apps, and also the app update notifications from the play store were not working.
Before rooting my LG V30 everything was working fine, but now it's the same thing as before. Play store doesn't give update notifications, and also notifications for some crucial apps like XDA, Steam and Yahoo Mail aren't working. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I suspect it's titanium backup again (even though I didn't use it to restore any apps).
I'm currently on boombox rom, and aforementioned apps are set as an exclusion in the power saver.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I have/had (currently trying out a Note8) a US998 V30, and on the original stock Nougat software, I NEVER got Play Store updates, and I occasionally wouldn't get updates for other apps. I did restore using TiB, and sometimes I found that clearing the app data and signing in again (if necessary) would help. Disable/enable notifications in the app, etc would work sometimes too.
Regarding the play store updates... it was the weirdest thing. It would say "all your apps are up to date" but show 60+ app updates below it. I cleared play store data, play services data, signed out/in again, etc... and it wasn't until I installed the Oreo update that it was fixed. That, coupled with very poor battery life made me start looking for greener pastures, which is why I'm currently using a Note8. Unfortunately, between the time of ordering a Note8 and receiving it... I put on the Oreo update, which fixed all of my gripes on the V30, so I've got 2 phones that work well, and I'm still unsure of which I want to keep. I know... #firstworldproblems

Well my play store doesn't say no updates when I open it, there's just no notification when there's an update. It has nothing to do with LG V30, like I said the same thing happened with the Nexus 6P.
Definitely don't get push notification now that I'm rooted. It's not all apps and some I will get then notification if I open the app.
It's a really annoying problem which hope can be solved.
Notification worked fine for me on Oreo before rooting.
Phone is a H933, flashed to 998 and rooted. I do have xposed installed also.

It's really a weird thing, and what's even more weird is that not everyone is experiencing it.
I just opened the playstore and going in my apps list said there's 17 app updates, while I never got a notification for them.

You're confusing Play Store updates with app push updates.
It's not just rooted phones. So don't think that.
One of my V30+ is still not rooted and neither is my wife's genuine open market LG US998 V30, and neither of those get "notifications" of Play Store updates for my apps.
I've noticed if I reboot the phones and put them on a charger, THEN the phones will update. Or I can manually say update.
But I get push updates for emails, app notifications.

I don't get a notification for the updates of the apps installed through play store, and also don't get push notifications from certain apps, if that makes it more clear.
However, it worked perfectly before I unlocked and rooted.
So the issue with notifications occured after rooting, or it has to do with specific firmware version, or magisk/titanium backup/something else is causing it, who knows.

That seems to be problem with Play Store updates, and I have that problem on two non-rooted V30/V30+ phones in my house. So it's an Oreo issue or an US998 issue, but not a "root" issue.

Well I didn't restore any apps with titanium backup. I did however restore my apps with LG's backup and restore (which worked shockingly well)
I was on Oreo H933. Everything worked fine, play store update notifications (which I'm less concerned about) and all app notifications.
Also it's not all apps that have the problem. Gmail notifications work fine. Pushbullet does not, nor does kijiji. Pushbullet's notifications will show up when you open the app. Kijiji will never show notification.
It almost seems like the notification settings in the system are set to ignore them. Or that the apps are in sort of a deep sleep, in the case of pushbullet.
Flashed to US998 and rooted. Restored apps. Now of course I have root/magisk and xposed installed so it has to be one of those things. When I get a chance I might try and disable xposed and root/magisk.
It could also be the cross flash of US988 on a H933 but that's harder to test.
I didn't see it mentioned but is it possible to go back to H933 after rooting?
EDIT: OK, so I disabled adaway and minminguard, uninstalled and then reinstalled pushbullet and notifications are now working for pushbullet. I get the feeling its to do with restoring apps but I'll keep playing.
Worked on kijiji.
Uninstalled and reinstalled kijiji (didn't change anything else. adaway and minminguard are installed still) and notifications work now.
These apps where restored from an LG backup of my H933 on Oreo on my rooted now US998.

Verizon call filter app on us998?

Hi all, I purchased my us998 from B&H way back when, so it thankfully doesn't have any of the big red bloat. However, now I've been unable to get the now free Verizon call filter because the app was not preloaded, and doesn't allow me to install from the app store. Any ideas?

Whale browser eating battery

Anyone seen this? I haven't even opened the app, and I have it battery restricted
I'm not familiar with that browser and can't even find it on the Google Play Store.
I did pull up a 2019 article about it. How committed are you to using that browser?
Have you tried using a different browser with WideMode for LG?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode
You might be able to replicate some of Whale's two-screen functionality with this app.
It was designed for older LG phones that support two screens, but it works on the LG V60 just fine.

I'm not committed to using it at all. I use chrome at all times. Whale just came preinstalled on my V60. It ate all that battery without me ever once even opening the app

Weird. Mine didn't come with that browser pre-installed.
Since you don't use it, I recommend installing Minimal ADB & Fastboot and the LG Mobile Drivers on your computer (if you haven't already), connecting the phone to the computer via USB (enable USB Debugging first in Developr Settings), rebooting to Fastboot, and using ADB commands to uninstall a lot of the bloatware that came with your phone... including that Whale Browser.
Maybe it was just on T-Mobile. I'm on Verizon and it wasn't pre installed.
I'm on AT&T and don't have it either.
Weird
