I used this before seeing this post. It works without root and is very simple to do.
I've been using this on my G3 but didn't even think about it for the G4. Hid all the usual stuff including stuff that could'nt be disabled.

You can block it with this program.
Is this any different than disabling them through Android without any special apps?
I was not able to disable some of the bloatware apps from AT&T through Android. With this program I could disable anything I wanted to.
You can disable anything you want to without using any program. Settings -> Apps -> All apps
And you can disable stuff there. Including Facebook and Twitter, which you can't disable through launcher.

Quite a few actually, My T-Mobile for one, the stupid Lookout "Security" app for another, several LG "helper" apps (I can't list since I don't have my wife's G4 in front of me) but I found that more than half the T-Mobile & LG bloatware I wanted to disable I wasn't able to, at least 8 apps I was stuck with.

Which drivers did you use? 815's? I don't see ATT 810 listed there. Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind, after a few tries the G4 propmted me to load drivers onto computer. Just had to say yes.
I tend to use mainly Googles apps as opposed to LG's apps. The main culprits like my-t mobile are gone, but I dont use googles movies, games or LG's music and smart card. I have half the apps I started out with. The only LG Apps I like are the clock and camera. I cant wait till we get root at the very least, then use titanium backup and uninstall all of the bloat for good.
Alright ran this tool disabled LG keyboard and the. Updated to 11B. Now wanting to test the keyboard on latest Verizon update and the keyboard shows in settings but is greyed out. Used the tool and unchecked keyboard but it will not let me turn it on.... Greyed out... Anyone have a solution or the LG keyboard apk

After disabling the built in Facebook application using the Application Manager, I noticed it somehow automatically updated itself and no longer appeared in the Disabled apps list. It's crazy enough I have deal with unwanted pre-loaded applications I won't use but having something on my device that's re-enabling a specific application I disabled and automatically updating it is unacceptable to me. I'd like for someone who also owns this device to try the same thing and letting me know your observation.
Yeah, it's re-enabled itself twice on me already. At this point, since I've not yet rooted my phone, I unfortunately am letting it remain installed & updating, even though I have no facebook account (anymore)

I also had that disabled within the Play Store but a new Software Update was just released that states it improves performance and has some bug fixes so I'll try disabling it again after applying this update.
Even if you disable an app, it will ask you to update it. If you update it, it will activate again. Make sure to disable auto-updating and when updating apps, just dont update that one.

I wasn't going to root to test out how KNOX due to using my phone for work but FB pissed me off with always updating even though i disabled it and i finally said "F That" and rooted.
All preinstalled apps can do this.
It's because the play-store app has to be restarted once to get the application off from the updates list.
The pending update will raise the application even if it was disabled.
I had this happen with play magazines and movies. They kept coming back and there always was an update for them as i kept reverting them to
original state while disabling them.
So kill play store from the task manager after disabling an app. This has nothing to do with facebook.

Facebook auto,updates
This same thing happens to me. I have an AT&T version of Galaxy Note Edge. No root exists for this miserable $1,000 piece of crap phone.
My play settings are set to NOT auto update.
Facebook comes as a system app on this phone.
Can't root it, so can't get rid of it. Constantly auto updates, disabling the Facebook chat enabler, which doesn't require the separate messenger app. The chat enabler doesn't work with newer versions, so every day I have to go to the app manager and Uninstall updates to FB. Doesn't prompt for updates, just does it. Can't revert back to Kit-Kat on the phone because it bricks the phone.

I run Version 27 of the Facebook app. Since I got my Note 4 last week, Facebook has been updating daily and sometimes more often than once, OUTSIDE of the Play Store.
I have all auto-updates turned off, no unknown sources allowed. This seems to happen only on the pre-installed version. This never, ever happened on my S5.
Is anyone else with any carrier having this issue?

I think you are correct about those two files, because I saw those show up.
I had some crazy issues with my phone two days ago and Best Buy had to replace it. I came home, didn't log into my Google or Samsung account. While it was downloading Lollipop, my Facebook app updated. Again, outside of the Play Store and this phone had never been logged into the Play Store, I also had not logged into my Facebook app or sideload my Facebook apk.
I saw those two files listed as "downloaded" in the App Manager. I was able to uninstall updates and disable them. Then I did uninstalled updates on the Facebook app and sideload version 27. I saw those two files in downloaded apps before when I did a reset when my original phone when nuts.
Since I disabled those and they don't show up in the "turned off" apps or show up anywhere now, my Facebook hasn't updated again. I was looking today to see if I could find those two files and where I had them disabled. But, again, the only time I have seen them is when I haven't installed my app and the app has just updated by itself. I hope that has stopped it for me. I think if someone isn't rooted, the only way to deal with those two files is how I did the other night.
lol man thanks i know about them but i forgot to disable them

Yeah I could only disable with the first update. I don't even know if going and uninstalling updates to Facebook, will let you do this or if you can only catch them with the first update after a reset or out of the box. All that based on a non-rooted device.
Still no updates for me since I was able to do that the other night and it was updating several times a day. Every time I rolled it back, it would update again not much long after.
Anyone else having issues disabling the pre-installed T-Mobile apps? The disable button is greyed out when I go into "app manager" then when I connect to the DeBloatware program it tells me my device is Blocked. No applications actually show up on the app list either in DeBloatware (besides one - T-mobile auto start program). I unlocked my bootloader thinking it may help but it did nothing for this venture. Coming from the N6P I'm really not liking the fact that I just paid as much as I did for a phone that has T-mobile all over it... Even the start up screen pisses me off.

Even though the process might be different from different launchers wouldn't the result be the same? I'm using the Google Now launcher & would think that it would allow me to disable the T-mobile app regardless of launcher app... or am I completely wrong?
If you can't disable the app, kill its permissions. It does pretty much the same thing. That's how I got T-Mobile apps to stop using the battery.

I was wrong, the Tmobile app is the only one I couldn't get off the phone.
I know with Samsung I could use package disabler pro and was able to end the process and get it frozen
What I did is diable all permissions, revoke background data from the app, cleared cached and uninstalled all updates. Then don't open that app again and turn off autp update in the play store

Have you tried SD Maid Pro yet? I used that on my Sprint variant and was able to disable anything I wanted. Be advised, some of the apps are integrated into other apps within framework and could cause issues with apps you want to use still.
I decided today to remove more stuff from my V20. I found out that it has samsung push services installed.
What would be affected if I remove it?
Samsung push would be effected.
Samsung gear watch maybe?

As stated, you either have a Samsung device you've tried connecting to it or it's an app that came over from a previous device by way of a backup and restore service such as you Google account. Samsung Push is not something pre-installed on your LG device.
@TempezT would you like to create a list of apps you have disabled or removed? A debloat list of sorts. T-Mo H918 here.

So, since we don't have root, any ideas on how to delete bloat?
Granted the G6 isn't TOO terrible, I've definitely seen worse. There are still a handful of apps I wouldn't mind purging.
(Seriously, Facebook pre-installed? Lolz)
Any clue? Any tip? There's only so much I can disable.

Just got my G6 & am in the same boat. So used to Titanium Backup to de-bloat. For now I think we are stuck disabling what we can & hope root comes soon.
On my H870DS, facebook, instagram and that sort of BS was uninstallable. I got rid of them the minute I switched on the G6.

Only got LG bloat. Still want rid
Just disable what you can for now not much else to do :/
You can disable almost everything after use a command trough adb and few other passages with This app, tested my self, in this way i had the possibility to disable QMemo+.
I have a new vs988 on the way, will try to install that Disabler right away ☺
The app Killua96 pointed to seems to work fine on my G6 VS988. I followed the instructions for a non-rooted phone. A few clarifications:
-Don't bother setting up accounts or anything other than for getting your phone on the network and then running Play Store to download the app. In my case I ended up doing a factory reset, then DL'd the app.
-After the app is installed, follow the instructions to delete accounts -- you should only see the Google account listed (you have to give it your Google credentials when you run Play Store for the app)
-Go into Settings - Applications and disable GMail. When you entered Google credentials for Play Store it automatically shoves them into GMail. The fastboot command you run from your PC will error out if GMail is running, since it will see an existing account on the phone.
-Follow the app instructions, installing the minimal ADB/fastboot, running the couple of commands from your PC.
-When done, restart your phone, re-enable GMail, add whatever accounts you want.
I've used the app to disable a bunch of bloat (duplicate SMS apps, some VZW stuff I don't use, LG Health,...)
Be aware that if you have the Verizon VS988, it has DT Ignite hidden in the system apps. Fortunately, you can disable it.

I have the unlocked G6 that I bought here in the Netherlands. I am not so bothered by the LG apps, as some of it were usable, but It's annoying that apps like evernote, Google duo, sheets and slides can be removed.
You forgot to mention the ubiquitous Fookface crap that I personally have never used nor ever will use.
And ofc Chrome.
And Hangouts.
