Hello,
I own a Sprint LG G2 stock rooted. Is there a way i can remove the bloatware by flashing a file or an app list that shows which apps are safe to be removed?
Thanks in advance.
Titanium Backup is your friend for disabling bloatware. There are threads here that go over what is safe to remove. If nothing else, you can always try freezing things, using the phone for a while to make sure it's still stable, then uninstalling them later.

I can't complete the ota update to gingerbread because I temprooted with visionary+ and used titanium to uninstall some pre-loaded apps. So, I figured if I reinstalled those apps the update should work, right?
I reinstalled the apps I got rid of except web2go. I found the web2goshortcut.apk and tried to reinstall it but it needs the odex as well. I've searched google for the odex and I can't find it anywhere.
My questions are, will what I'm doing even work and if so does anyone have the web2goshortcut.odex I could snag?
I know I could just factory reset but I'd like to avoid that if I can.
Thanks in advance.
Don't think it has anything to do with the apps you uninstalled. Might have something to do with being temp rooted. Have you tried to uninstall visionary, reboot, and then run update?

Sorry about putting this in the wrong forum.
My phone isn't currently temprooted, I only did that when uninstalling the apps and then I unrooted.
The reason the ota is failing is because I'm getting a status 7 when it tries to update web2go because the app isn't there.
You'll have to put back stock Froyo to get past the error due to removed app and apply the OTA update.
However, if you had used temproot to disable apps only instead of removing them, the OTA updated would've succeeded AND the disabled apps would remain disabled, the setting is retained. So oddly, there's no advantage to removal vs disable except a small space savings, but a real disadvantage to full removal.

In retrospect I realize that removing the apps was a bad idea.
So it sounds like you guys are saying reinstalling the apps I removed won't work? If so I'll probably just root my phone instead of getting it back to stock.
Shouldn't matter whether you reinstall missing apps generating errors or the entire OEM ROM. I'd just do whichever is easier. Well, if you replace apps the OTA update will leave all settings, apps etc. as is so there's that to consider.
Thing is for the OTA update to 'think' you have stock Froyo. How you do that is up to you.

Wouldn't you have to install those apps back to the system folder? If you delete them, then install from the market, you are turning system apps into user apps... right guys?
He could use the update from the store sd cards, but that would lose all data. Double check that, sorry but I forgot how to fix stock problems a long time ago.

I just rooted my VZW Galaxy Note 3, and wanted to see if anyone had a list of the bloatware you can safely freeze with Titanium Backup. I did this myself and ended up wiping to start over because I was getting force closes, probably meaning I froze something that broke functionality.
This is my first Android device and I'm coming from an iPhone 5. I, too, would like a list or guide to removing bloat ware. What did you guys uninstall?
I saw a couple of lists yesterday. Now I can't find them

I have a European LG G2 and i want someone to tell me which system apps are safe to remove with titanium backup.
Anyone?
It isn't wise to remove system apps first place right out of the box. Instead freeze them with TB, that way, if glitch occurs later, you can enable the app again. If missing nothing and phone still performs what it supposes to be, then it's safe to completely remove.
I have a rooted G2 on VZW and would really prefer they leave it alone. No custom recovery so I don't have /system access to add/remove/del apps. Is there another way to block this update?
Sorry, apparently this is a minor update, not Lollipop yet. Still interested in blocking all updates because the phone is just fine as is. Is it best to just install twrp or cwm and remove the update apps?
Use Titanium Backup to freeze 'system updates MUC'.
Do you have to leave Titanium Backup installed or can you freeze and then remove the app?

Good question. I don't know the inner workings of the freeze option and couldn't say for sure. You could straight up force remove the updater app also. I just recommended freeze in case you ever changed your mind and wanted to attempt an update for some reason.
Title says all. Looking for remover tool compatible with 5.0. Anyone?

You could try Root Uninstaller or Link2SD. Freeze the apps you consider bloatware, check if there are any strange bugs occuring with your system (force closes and so on) and then finally remove them. Freezing them first allows you to restore the apps if something goes wrong
I tried some in playstore didnt worked for me Now I'm trying Debloater for Gatesjunior.
Are u rooted? Have u tried Titanium Backup?
Yeah, titanium backup. But you can't freeze apps unless you have the pro version
Your phone must be rooted first.
I used the CF-Auto-Root on Lollipop (5.0.1) on my GT-i9505 with CCleaner.
I removed many Apps, my space went from 1,53GB used to like 670MB. ~
No Tool buddy but I am on my new Bloatware List for Android 5.0.x...
