[Q] Two Copies of Dialer Application - Malware?

I found a strange thing in my application list. It seems I have two copies of the "Dialer" app. One is 4K in size and the other is 10K in size. They both show as version 2.2.1 with the same icon. The 10k one is the one that seems to be running, because I can force stop it, but I can't force stop the 4k one. Also, the 10k one seems to have waaaaay more permissions than the 4k copy.
4K copy has:
Your Personal Info
Phone calls
Services that cost you money
System tools
10K copy has all of the above PLUS:
Your location
Your messages
Network communication
Storage
Hardware controls
WAY MORE system tools.
I have rooted my phone with Gladroot, and there are a few apps I've sideloaded (Amazon App Store, Grooveshark, Top 100 Songs by Year). Other than that, this is a relatively clean install.
Am I worrying for nothing? Is the 2nd Dialer legit? Or is it part of being rooted? Or is it really bad?

stupid question, this second dialer is in the apps list in settings not the app drawer? If so is it the dialer storage?
(Just want to be clear)

I have the same thing! :O

Hey Dennis,
There's only one Dialer in the App Drawer, but when I go into "Manage Applications" I see two Dialers in both the "Running" and the "All" tabs.
Duffmaster, I'm curious if this is the result of rooting or maybe even a legit app? Are you rooted, and are you running any apps that should legitimately be able to make phone calls, i.e. Google Voice?

Delete Bloat on LG Optimus

Removal system applications, source from 4pda.ru.
I am sure your device has a lot of applications that you do not use at all. Here is a small list of what I deleted:
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk - Google Search
Musicplayer.apk - music player. Established a more functional.
LG Informer - routine LG
LG World - Google play similarity
Calculator - Calculator. Established a more functional.
HelpDesk - help by phone
Lg AppClub - standard software application updates
GoogleTalk - instant messaging from Google, along with the need to remove it and GoogleMail
Finance - quotes and other related currency
RemoteCall Service - Technical Support
SmartShare - standard program to transfer photos and videos
Google+ - Social Network
Google Talk and Youtube - you can install it as a normal app.
Plus, the disabled programs such as cell broadcast and wap-mail, standard keyboard .. Replaced her party Do not forget to also delete odex files with the same name!
If anybody knows what are apps that is safe to remove or freeze to free up some space and memory, then that would be nice.
By this, it can help new user who are still use the stock rom.

[Q] Is there a way to access Google Tasks on a Google Wear device?

Hi,
I share a Gmail account which has some task lists within it - and I'd like to be able to look up outstanding tasks on my smartwatch (LG G Watch R). Ideally I'd also like to do the same thing with some task lists in an Microsoft Exchange account - but this is less pressing.
I know there is a multitude of tasklist / to-do apps out there - but I'd like to use the existing task lists I have.
I know that CalenGoo can sync with Google Tasks - however I couldn't find a way of browsing these task lists on the smartwatch (at least not within the 15 minute refund period!).
I have also seen TinyTasks (both on XDA and in the Play store), which sounds ideal - but doesn't look like it works with Google Wear devices (unless I'm mistaken).
What I'd like is an app on the smartwatch that I can open that will show me all my task lists (from this shared Google Account, or an Exchange account), let me browse through the (incomplete) tasks in each list, and then mark them as done.
I've tried searching, but the keywords "google", "wear" and "tasks" are wayyyy to generic to pin-point what I'd like - if it exists.
Does anyone know of an app that will do this?

Same here - looking for same app/funcionality.

Same for me
Full Todo List App on Wear but not for GOOGLE TASKS !!! Google not compatible with Google system ? I found this incredible
I have Google Task on my pebble : PebbleNotes, on my Sony SW2 : Tiny Task, but nothing for the Google Wear OS...

I came here looking for just this. Does anyone know of any app that will support Google tasks? I dont want to use anything else and its the one functionality I bought my smartwatch for!!

No, of course Google OS is NOT COMPATIBLE with Google Apps
Use TickTick if you want and leave Google Task....

help
I am using Keep to record my notes from Sony Smartwatch 3, but I really prefer using Google Tasks. I hope someone finds a way to use it and posts it here. Thanks.

I tried ticktick but I dont like it as much... I really just like Google tasks and I use gTasks. Anyway, I emailed the dev of gtasks - he said it's on the list but don't expect it any time soon. Maybe if more people expressed their desire he might do it sooner? Email: Support (a)t gtasks (dot) me
Is there a lot of work in making this happen? If anyone else finds a workaround please let me know - I really want this for my watch!

Now I'm using Samsung Gear. I will wait 3 or 4 years before Wear became an usable OS
GTask works on Watch : Android, Samsung Tizen, Sony SW, pebble. Just the Google Wear OS where Google Task do not works

I got it working
Ok I figure out a workaround, but it works great
Basically you need to use Zapier and Evernote. Evernote has a working Android wear app, and Zapier can copy any notes to Google tasks.. Start a new Zap from Evernote to add task to Google tasks. When adding the zap you have to play around - you put "Content Text" in the "Title" box - but it works perfectly!
The limit on the free accounts is 100 zaps per month - and it refreshes every 15 mins - but thats enough for me for now!
Hope that might help some people with the same problem...

waiting for it

Any updates? Even if you share your progress so far would be highly appreciated!

As a general rule, unless you're 100% certain, you shouldn't uninstall system apps you're even remotely unsure about. Your safest bet would be to use an app like Root Uninstaller Pro to "freeze" them and see if any side effects come about on your phone. If so, you can unfreeze them and keep testing what you can and can't disable. LG MLT is something you should definitely get rid of, and apart from the PC/Sync packages you listed there (Which you could remove if you don't intend to use LG PC Suite with your phone) I wouldn't go fully removing any others.

Generic smartwatch app (to replace JYou)

Is there a generic smartwatch app which I can (try to) use as a replacement of the recommended app (JYou) wiht my smartwatch (H3 smart band)?
I mainly need better push notification (Jyou offers only call & sms notifications). A generic may or may not work in my case, but I am curious if there is such an app.
Thanks.

GadgetBridge is working for me.
However, it is not clear how to
1. Increase the duration (or number of times to repeat) of notification shown on the watch (could be a firmware controlled?)?
2. How to view and analyze the heath data gadgetbridge accesses?

Does anyone know how to link the Jyou watch to Google Fit?
