What are the files you need to delete to completely eliminate backup assistant plus? Disabling it was greyed out. I have root access.

I used titanium backup to delete all the bloatware. Has anyone else went through after root and deleted all the bloatware and Verizon apps?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Guessing no one else has deleted bloatware off their device
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
I flashed clean Rom which has most of the bloatware removed. Them weren't and froze/deleted a few other services I didn't want. Runs like champ ?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Well I didn't pay for the premium version of geranium so I couldn't freeze. Only option was to uninstall. I haven't installed a Rom yet. I'm satisfied with stock just needed to remove the bloat and get hotspot working.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Clean Rom is stock, just without the bloat. Be weary of uninstalling system apps. From what I understand, you won't be able to update the OS if you're missing any of the system apps....at least that's how it was when I ran moto devices.

Well Damn didn't realize that I wouldn't get updates. I've been reading so many threads about people messing up their phones. Not ready to plunge into a Rom yet. I do like stock. Have removed everything I don't want. As it stands now, if I want an OTA I'll just factory reset in the menu then take it.

yea a lot of peeps have messed up their phones because they flashed the wrong rom (ie; rom was for a different model). I was one of them i downloaded a rom that said it was for the verizon G2 but it wasnt. i was able to recover my phone. i finally found the correct version of the rom i originally tried to use and flashed it and all is well now

Just checking to see if anyone is using Rom Toolbox pro and if they noticed any issues restoring data for applications.
Maybe this is an issue as I am trying to restore data from my HTC EVO 4g LTE to my new S4 but I would think that it would work on at least one or two applications. I'm running the updated MDL updates, rooted using CH and TWRP recovery. I installed Rom Toolbox PRO to restore all my backups from my EVO. The applications restore perfectly. However it gives an error trying to restore any data. Just says data restore failed.
Anyone been able to restore data from another phone using this method? I've never encountered this going across other platforms before.
I am having a similar problem
I am having similar issues too. But in my case, I am not able to restore on my own device. I have backed up my app+data on my Nexus 4 running 4.2.2 Paranoid Android ROM. But I am not able to restore it on the 4.3 PA ROM.
I have emailed Jared Rummler about this, and one of the staff member replied hinting that there may be a fix in the next version that might come sometime next week.
Did anyone else face the same problem?

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that MDL does not have apps2sd functionality? Maybe it would work better with MF9. Probably not the issue but figured I would throw that out there.
I am on mdl and tried restoring when I went to blue kuban, no dice. Lame

rom toolbox is pretty much non functional for me so i ended up deleting it. i prefer titanium
Ive tried many of the hotspot apps in the market but none seem to work as I always get an error message. does anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
Yea I've been wondering the same thing.
Why don't you root and flash the mod ?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
You need to root then do the mod to get them to work
You can always unroot after flashing the mod if it is that much of a problem to be rooted.
Why not just root the phone? No harm done in rooting, right??
I was just hoping to stay stick for a while, but I guess that's not going to happen.

you can stay stock if you want yet still root. I have yet to flash a custom rom but been rooted since day 1.
Wow, the rooting process is so much easier and faster than on the original evo. It's like I barely had to do anything. Thanks for the help everyone, it was definitely worth rooting.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
just picked up the g2 but theres an update do i take it then root it.or does this update break root
Update then root or you'll run in to issues.
Sent from my LG-D803 using Tapatalk
Agreed. And be sure to read the root guide very carefully as there are some nuances with rooting and flashing custom recoveries right now.

+3.....take update, then root
well **** I rooted yesterday without taking that update. everything went fine too. currently running Malladus.
what are the issues you run into rooting without taking the update?

If you are running a custom ROM then you are good to go already. Malladus includes the update. The issue comes from taking the update after rooting, or especially after flashing a custom recovery.

Several reports say taking the update after root/recovery causes a recovery bootloop....but not taking it shouldn't affect your current rom.

I flashed twrp on my Verizon LGG2. I was just wondering, since I have to have the standard recovery to get OTA updates(hopefully next one is Kit Kat), does anyone know where I can find it for my phone?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 2
You will get kitkat much faster from the developers than you will an ota
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
Good to know, but doesn't answer my question.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 2
Not sure, but I was wondering about this also. I think I'm just going to go back to stock when we get 4.4.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
Anyone know the answer?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 2
load the factory image using the LG tool. this will put you back to original stock, of course it will wipe your phone.
just an FYI, taking an OTA could possibly remove the ability to root your phone in the future. SO make sure that is really what you want.
I also have a similar question involving CWM. At the moment I have TWRP as my recovery (used flashify to install it), however I would prefer to use CWM. If I flash CWM via flashify, will it replace TWRP?

So is there any way to get standard recovery without having to reflash the entire stock rom?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk 2
I finally decided to drop my beloved galaxy nexus. The N5 seemed like the next phone of my dreams but couldn't stand the thought of losing my unlimited plan so G2 seemed like the next logical choice. I have been reading as much as I can and still having a hard time wrapping my head around things. Here is where I am at:
Bought phone from swappa appeared to be in new condition as advertised with plastic still on the phone.
Not sure if the phone was updated ota by the seller but the software and baseband were 12b out the box not rooted.
I rooted successfully with latest I0root method.
Installed loki patched twrp 2.6.3.3 successfully via freegee method. Full nand backup of rooted stock. Backed up imie with freegee and imie and other partitions via flashable zip method.
So where do I go from here? Is it safe to flash any VS980 rom from this point?

I have yet to install a custom rom or I could let you know. I have however upgraded to philz recovery and successfully installed dorimanx kernels. Got a little busy messing with exposed modules as well. I wanted to make sure I have all my essentials backed up before messing with roms and have the appropriate files and drivers working in case something goes wrong. I tried to install malladus yesterday and the install failed but I want to say the download was bad as it took forever. I had no issues with restore. I'll report back if I have any luck.

If you want some KitKat love, try out Mahdi ROM with the latest furnace kernel. Very very stable on my vs980.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
You've bought the right device, aside from some unreleased phone of course. I too came from the gnex and I love this thing. Go install some AOSP ROM and it will be like you never left the gnex. (Although admittedly not as stable YET). With KK just being released by LG, all roms should get better. Anyways, enjoy a camera that works all the time not just when it is super bright and a battery that is equal to 3x of the galaxy nexus.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the input. I installed AICP latest ROM last night with no issues. Feels amazing with no scroll lag compared to stock. Only thing I miss is knock off but hey you can't have it all. Gonna give furnace a go later.
