that is some bloat!! they all seem to have bloat but your version and the Korean variants do seem to have a lot more,i'm sure the phones must run a little better once all that is removed, nice one for getting rid.
It has been running smoothly. Also happy not to be constantly nagged by sprint optimizer and other useless apps.

I have the international version but most are the same. I read the above and frosen all with titanium to test. If you have the time, it would be very helpfull to write what every one is doing so, to froze only what everyone needs.. Thanks,
Edit
1. i lost vibrasion
2. when swapping finger from home softkey, it froze for a moment and dont see options serch etc.
3. Lg keyboard goes veeeeery slow in every press..
Do you know which files is for them? Thanks
Edit2 . OK It was my fault. I was frozen by accident LGSystemServer.. Ok now..
Would the bloatware you removed be safe to remove from another model? I have the d803 canadian variant and haven't seen a list of safe apps to remove yet.

I'm not sure how you lost vibration or why your keyboard loads slow. I am not having any those issues. I would recommend posting a screenshot or list, that outlines the differences between mine and yours.

For the most part yes. If you are not a risk taker, I would recommend you use Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the app before removing it (and of course create a full TB backup).

yea I have titanium backup, learning how to use it right now. I'm only rooted though I dont have twrp or cwm installed. Is it a big risk for me to be doing this or do I need them installed because I only plan to root no flash or roms for me.
I can't say with 100% certainty as we have different models. I can tell you from my experience that I was fine with TB backup.

Anyone know if G2 has that "Carrier IQ" people have been referring to. How can we remove it If so?
Thanks for the post!!!
Awesome post! We should keep this populated with adverse effects so we can understand what some of the apps do or don't do.
I froze most of the apps you have listed without any real noted problems.
Thanks!
I'll do my best to update the original posts as others let me know what they find or if I discover any adverse effects. I'll note, having to work with sprint programming has been a bit dicey with what I've frozen. No permanent damage thus far.

I would try re-enabling the sprint services again and then freeze them all leaving update-device the last one to freeze.
I took a closer look and we match. Another option is to give apply frozen filters in TB and post them so we can compare.
What I think is happening is it is still trying to do a firmware check and update (assumption).
Update Device Stopped
ChrisFSU,
I've reverted my phone to stock and went through the list again. I only get the error when update-device is not frozen. If it's already frozen and you have a NAND backup feel free to uninstall. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to use any of the update functions of the phone like PRL, profile, unlock etc..

whats your region code when you check it with Market Enabler?
And are you on Sprint?
Awesome, thanks.
I'm running damage v1 on Sprint.
I thought it had protected apps but now that I check it cant find twidroid.
The number on the "actual" is 310120. That's the only info I've found. I know I had to change that value in the build.prop to make something work, don't remember what though.
Can you post another example of a protected app? My paid apps all show.
Twitroid is a common app used to check if protected apps are showing
CNET Scan & Shop is one that I can think of that doesn't show for me since flashing DC 2.0.
Also Fandango, it seems.
Google Googgles, Shopper & Barcode scanner (ZXing) don't work under DC 2.0.R2.

i think you are trying what i tried to do to enable protected apps by thinking its code related, but i get the same code whether i am running my 1.5 pancake to when i tried the 2.1 damage v2r2 today... i don't have it installed anymore, but it was definitely the same on the working (1.5) and non-working (2.1) versions
below is an excerpt from the "New Damaged rom mods" thread and it actually did work for me once, but then after i restarted it seemed to have lost the settings as it went back to my non-protected list only... i gave up on 2.1 because of the protected apps, titanium backup and vvm issue that i couldn't resolve without re-reading the 2300 posts in the original damage thread and hoping that things worked that didn't seem to work 100% of the time or for everyone.

-Protected Apps fix: &postcount=94
*Make sure market isnt running first. If recently ran and in doubt restart. Pushed to /system/app/ then ran marketenabler program on phone. Saved current settings, went to settings list tab. Long held on T-Mobile and went to fake provider. Searched market an now i see tiwdroid PRO paid & free (if thats a valid test)

If you are frustrated with Samsungs total lack of support for this new device let me share with you some solutions that will make you change your mind about how you feel about your new Galaxy Tab WiFy only.
First; Root it!!!
Download the z4Root App and do it with one click........painless and you are set free and on your way.
Second; Download One Click Lag Fix from the Market ,
this is a magical app for this Galaxy Tab , it unlocks its full potential. Thank you Ryan!!! Give him a raise please!
Just make sure BEFORE you run the app move ALL of your apps from the SD Card and place them back on your device, you can move them back to the SD Card after you run the app if you like. If you try and run this app with apps on the SD Card you will send your device into a boot loop so please make note of this.
Result; Snap and Speed Clocked 1900 on Quardrant, smooth scrolling and blazing speed browsing this has become a completely different device , I now love this Galaxy Tab and I am going to keep it!
Doesn't show in the market for me
one click lag fix app
if you search one click lag fix in the Market in comes up as RyanZA OCLF, this is the app you want for a very small price well worth it!
Could not find z4Root in the market but there should be a thread here in XDA or search it on your device and direct download the apk file
It's Wifi, not Wify.
you definitely do NOT need to pay for OCLF. it's widely available for free on the web.
also, i noticed no difference after OCLF (benchmarks don't mean **** for actual device usage), so I uninstalled it.
the app's needed

yeahhh i just got this device and the first night i noticed some lagg and even managed to lock it up twice
but about the above. if u need the apps u can find any paid app or missing apps from the market at 4shared.com. when u get find them you will have to wait 20 secs and then app should begain downloading (must allow 3rd party apps to be installed)
when looking for One Click Lag Fix search for OCLF
when looking for z4Root search for z4root
PS.... i would post links but cant till i hit the 8 message spam thing ill PM person who started the topic to see if he can include the files
AWSOME WORKS GUYS THANKS

Tried several versions of z4Root and none seem to work for me - How does one tell if the root was done (took the temporary approach with z4Root v1.3)

u should be able to go to menu, settings, applications, manage applications then find skype and unistall
but to answear ur question directly when u install z4root and open the app it will say root,
if its already rooted u should see re-root or undo root..
Thanks
After rooting look for Skype to uninstall but not there. The issue is that if installed then uninstalled Skype seems to leave, based on other board comments, that residual Data file and thus can't be reinstalled. My understanding is that once rooted one can then locate that hidden file and delete it so can reinstall Skype but this doesn't seem to be the case, does it? I can't find that file.
When Temp rooted and restart z4Root it does offer an Re-root option so (now using V1.3) it has been rooted.
Perhaps there is a difference in rooting between Temp & Permanent but wouldn't think so
Appreciate your help

You need to be rooted and use an explorer, run a search for Skype and delete everything it finds.

Hello, since sometime ago (don't remember when, sorry) my Dialer and SMS apps stopped working.
I never did any 'crazy stuff' with my Milestone 2 - just froze some motoblur stuff with Titanium (and only the really unnecessary stuff like ESMusica, things that you know they're useless) it's rooted too, but that's it. I unfroze everything and still no go, when I try to open them I get a black screen for two seconds and then it goes back back to the home screen.
I don't remember when it happened because I've been using GO Dialer and GO SMS for a long time, so it doesn't really bother me since they work on any launcher, but... I may buy a Galaxy S2 or an Atrix and it will be kind of weird selling the phone without the native Dialer and SMS borked
Anybody went through something similar? And any solution?
Thanks a lot in advance.
maybe just do a factory reset before you sell it? had the same problem with titanium, but i couldn't even recieve any sms...
first try unfreezing all blur-sh** and then reboot it, maybe that helps!
Before you sell it, do a factory reset and flash Retail Brazil SBF.

Thanks! Good idea doing it before selling (not in a hurry because I just found out my carrier won't discount me until feb 2012 - so maybe I'll be able to get a quad core phone by then, I love my iMac and iPad but I hate the iPhone's keyboard and lack of multitasking - what made me try to freeze all the motoblur stuff was that my phone is constantly hitting 100% cpu and slowing down even with the motothings frozen and oc'ed to 1.25).
But on the unfroze+reboot thing, no luck The messaging app runs, I can click on the facebook messages, etc but when I click text messaging it goes back to the Home Screen. I deleted the app cache/data via app settings on the phone and no go.
If I do a factory reset, what will I lose? My phone apps and contacts? I can reinstall then, and my Go Launcher setup is backed up on the SD and my contacts are synced with google and the mac's address book so maybe I can benefit from it?
Thanks for your response!

Dan can you tell me or point me to how I do this sbf thing? I never flashed anything on my phone, never tried custom ROMs because of the locked bootloader. Thank you.
Search for sbf_flash (mac/linux) or RSD Lite 5.3/4.8/4.9 (windows). Those are the programs that can flash a motorola signed SBF to your phone.
For the files download:
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
For an explanation of the CGs(partitions) stored inside each SBF (see Droid X section):
http://and-developers.com/partitions:cdt
For a GB SBF get the leak in the Dev forum and the root method in the General or in the Droid 3 forum.
To flash it you need to be on bootloader mode, Power + Volume Down + Camera.
For a better explanation on how to flash it search the forum, you may find it.
Sorry, no links of the forum, I'm on mobile.
Edit: If you want a custom Rom, I only tested the MIUI and it is good, the others (not including Mostly Blurless GB) may have some crazy bugs.
Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
Thanks a lot for the great explanation! I'll actually try it because since my phone performs very well one week and drives me crazy the next one depending on the apps I'm using, it seems like a good idea to start from scratch, I'll just look for something to manually backup my contacts before (I know google backs them up, just wanna be 100% sure I don't lose anybody lol).
Again, thanks a ton for such a detailed explanation.

Have you changed the screen density? It used to happen the exact same thing with stock SMS and Dialer in my MS2 when I did.

Yeah I never worried but... One friend I added a long time ago (including fb profile, etc) was not imported - at least not her phone number - so I'm worried now that the contacts I added manually (in her case I just added the phone number, the rest was all fb+google info) won't be 100% synced. I'll check some of the people I added manually if I can remember who they are lol.

Baseband Help (TIM BRAZIL)
Hello,
My Milestone 2 is no network, when I turn it appears unsigned. Saw in other forums that the problem may be the Baseband, I'm using the ROM and it came MIUI Defy Baseband Switch, tried all the bands available for Brazil, but none works. Could you help me?
I regularly have the same problem with my dialer app.
It is not that it stops working but after a few days of collecting calls it crashes when I dial certain numbers, for example 420 which is one of the most common number starts for me, the app crashes immediately.
If I clear the stats for the recent calls -in and out- the app doesn't crash but it will crash if I try to see the number matches for that 420 that I dialed.
I hope I'm making myself clear.
I think it is a bug in the app because I don't use titanium to disable anything related to the dialer or contacts or search or anything that has influence over the dialer app.
If anyone has an idea as to why this happens please let me know.
Martin.-

There can also be areas where you may want to fake things like the Nook having a phone number as some apps use that as a verification key (e.g. Verizon Fios remote control).

I did this because I didn't want the phone icons or anything. When I go to the "call settings", in the settings app, it crashes. So naturally, its of no use to me. I don't use any apps that use a phone # as a key, I just want it gone.

Asking people why they want to do something is another question. Start your own thread and ask why someone would want to do that.
You would need a new settings app to remove the call settings. I also deleted all the telephony apps from my nook. No problems at all.

Just an fyi... Those are included in our encore/nc builds for compatibility reasons. Not just some apps, but market also needs these to run well. Other things like contacts app will act odd, too. You will find more headaches from removing them. Our cm Devs didn't leave them in there for S and Gs.
If your concern is battery, don't worry. They don't use any.

If you're feeling "removey" and anxious to get rid of excess apps, i relate and recommend this :
Get Titanium Backup on the market. This will let you see all installed apps and have the option to "freeze" one before uninstalling. You'll get to see how the nook functions without the app in question. If it freaks out, you can usually just go back in and unfreeze it.
The phone apk is definitely not a safe app to remove are you using the stock adw launcher?

Well... I dunno about that. I really see no reason for the dev's to leave in Camera.apk, MMS.apk, etc etc... I've removed the following, plus more with no negative side effects whatsoever. I've been running CM7 & CM7.1 since I first got my nook last May. I've even tried removing these on my phone just for "S&G's" and it didn't really have any negative side effects aside from my phone no longer functioning as a phone
Partial list of stock system apks removed:
Phone.apk - crashes at first, but a reboot solves any and all issues with that
MMS.apk
MMSProvider.apk
Telephonyprovider.apk
Protips.apk
Camera.apk
Thats as best as I can remember for now, I probably

Greetings XDA Members,
I've searched for quite some time, with limited success on keeping a stock rom along with Google Dialer. The best of both worlds if you will, that would allow great features without the loss of another. It was always a debate between using a AOSP rom at the loss of the camera, or sticking to stock and working with xposed to change settings to an agreeable state. With endless google searches, forums read, and opinions given by others; they all seemed to end with "Not Possible". Well, with some trial and error I have found a workable solution that will allow the Google Dialer to replace the stock dialer, and also allow for "In-callui" to replace the stock one.
It also needs to be mentioned, that I cannot guarantee this will work with your variant, custom rom, or other items not factored into the equation. Though this has worked for me without fail on the ATT Model D850 on Cloudy 2.5 but there are a few details to note. The "In-callUI" will show for both Incoming & Outgoing calls, but you will first see your stock one come up for a brief second or so and switch over. For me, this isn't an issue as I don't immediately answer or hang up when a call completes. Some of the items recommended in the prerequisite are optional and provide other ways to find/adjust permissions, or freeze/delete applications (Stock dialer). I'm not personally an avid developer, but if you have any questions I've been able to gain a great deal of knowledge over the years with hands on experience with the Android operating system. Feel free to ask any questions that may come up, and I'll be happy to assist if possible.
Pre-requisites;
LG G3 - Rooted
Custom Recovery with knowledge on Flashing ZIP files.
Root Explorer / File Manager
Nova Launcher / App to launch an activity.
Titanium Backup (recommended to backup Dialer and other applications in case of damage)
Included in the attachments is the file GoogleStockDialerAndMms. This file is a flashable zip that will automatically adjust the permissions necessary to make calls. It's highly recommended that you make a backup of your current rom with TWRP/CWM in case any issues arise. As this adds two files to your system directory, there is always a chance that an error can occur.
If you choose the route of Nova, you can create a shortcut to an activity. Below I've included a screenshot of which activity needs to be chosen in order to use Google Dialer.
Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.
Choose "Shortcuts"
Select "Activities"
Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
Can I disable my default dialer?
The short answer is no. As a general rule, you will need to keep your present dialer enabled in order to receive calls. The long answer is that on some phones you might be able to disable your stock dialer, but on others you definitely cannot. Feel free to try it on your own device and let us know what your results are. If you choose to do attempt this, I highly recommend against uninstalling and instead move to FREEZING the phone applications with Titanium Backup or similar root enabled application.

hi @Eruvion, just wanted to check if we get the search feature with your google dialer? or does this depend on the country you live in? thanks.

@resitm As far as I have heard and seen so far, it will work locally depending on the information generated from your local area by google. Please let me know if you attempt it and it doesn't work.

thanks, i will try it once im back home.
yesterday i installed the apk from apkmirror and created a shortcut for google dialer. everything worked as should other that the tab in the most left, i think thats the call history. the dialer FC anytime that icon was touched.
Good job on this even if Im already running an AOSP based ROM, I dont need this.
But you took time writing and explaining everything so thanked all your posts,
Have a nice day

i flashed the zip and everything seems to be working fine. i am also able to search close by businesses, i typed pizza and it showed me the closest pizza places.
the only FC i am getting is in settings when i tap call settings-voicemail, call waiting. i don't use that so its ok for me. thanks again.
also i did not have to create a shortcut, the app icon was there after restart.

@resitm I'm glad everything worked for you! Thanks for letting me know
@Paradoxxx Thank you for your kind words, I'm just glad I was able to give a small contribution to the wonderful community I've used for years!
Good job on your work! I also like Google dialer. Many thanks
This does work on VS985 5.0.1. The settings does crash if you click whatever the second option was (Went back to stock for my own reasons).

@SyCoREAPER thank you for the update!
Doesn't work here....either when triggered from a Nova Settings widget or from the icon in the launcher. Instant force close. I can try to grab a log if you think it'll help?
D852, running Dene_Bluesman's rom (basically stock LG 5.0.1)
Edit - wonder if its because the rom version i'm using is odexed? Going to try the deodexed version and report back....
Edit 2 - nope still crashes instantly. Super frustrating! Please let me know if a log will help! @Eruvion
I want to try this on my lg G2, is there any reason you think it might not work? Anything that would make this zip specific to the G3?
+1 on this. would like to see if we can get this to work on Cloudy for G2.
Hi
This thread seem's a bit dead. Anyway i have flashed this file and it works. I am on N&N 1.3 rom. It's a stock mm based rom.
