Debloat Package List for LG G4 T-Mobile (H811) - T-Mobile LG G4

Using G2/G3 debloat lists and my knowledge, I used Debloater to disable all the things I don't want/need. Here is the output of the Debloater tool export so you can use this to debloat yours. Suggestions are welcome and I'll be happy to update the list.

It might be in my head, but the phone feels a lot smoother than before. I haven't run into as many slowdowns as I used to.
This list freezes the LG Update tool (to prevent OTAs) and the T-Mobile Carrier IQ package.
Edit: Updated list to include Carrier IQ. Use Voodoo to properly identify if Carrier IQ is running.
Edit 2: Updated txt file by removing Chrome.apk from the list (I use Chrome Beta). The latest list will NOT disable Chrome.

Carrier IQ is not found after disabling the apk (again, this is without root)

Thanks for the list. After I rooted I used TB to freeze everything with lge in it. Including "com.lge.provider.s..." Which turned out to be .system and .systemui
Needless to say I felt like a noob and had to factory reset the phone to unfreeze them.

yes, thanks for this, very useful!
so the TMO_AppSource.apk is the Carrier IQ?

I have recently rooted my H811 0H with the Low Effort method and installed TWRP. I have also used the debloater tool to get rid of bloat before and after rooting. Just recently, I noticed FB would crash whenever I posted anything. I uninstalled and reinstalled FB, but that didn't fix it. I went into the debloater tool and enabled LGStartupwizard. No more FB crashes.
I certainly don't understand how these things could be related, and I don't know if they are, but I figured I would put it out there and if anybody else has the same trouble, they could try this fix.
Great work to all the devs out there! I'm eternally grateful and I'll continue to buy some beers when finances (the wife) allows.

Oops! haha, it happens. Glad you were able to recover. I would recommend you delete the OTA apk, since some people are worried the force updates might still happen even with a disabled/frozen APK. Guess it depends on how paranoid you are

Actually, I was wrong. I installed Voodoo CarrierIQ Detector and it found it. That Play Store app is not good. I'll have to go back and find the right APK, might not be removable without root.

Thanks for the heads up! I don't have any issues with my Facebook app and I disabled LGStartupwizard. Maybe the way it is removed with root causes issues, but just disabling without root doesn't. Or it might be something else.

Voodoo is the only app that detects all of it.

I missed LTDDM.apk. Now that it's removed, Voodoo doesn't detect Carrier IQ

So does any of this disable wifi calling or effect functionality?

The package list I posted does not affect WiFi calling. I usually have it disable because my wifi at home doesn't work well with this phone, but I just tested it for you.

So this tool only disables them and not actually delete them?

If you have root, it will delete them. If you don't have root, it will disable them. You don't need root to keep the bloat from interfering with your phone, which is a plus for me. The space that I could save by deleting is negligible.

How is the debloated stock ROM going for you? Better than coming here to debloat one by one? I wonder if things like the remote, and quick memo are still there...

MicroMod777's debloated ROM is working great. I had previously done a partial debloat myself, but figured it would be a bit cleaner to load his ROM. There were still a few things that he left in that I decided to remove.
I wouldn't say it is any better than removing them yourself, but if you are not comfortable removing them it is a safe option.
I don't remember is Quick Memo was in the debloated ROM or if I removed it myself, but the LG remote app was missing. I just restored it from TB and it works fine.

Oh so even if I flash the debloat ROM, I can still go into TB and unfreeze what MicroMod777 had frozen? That is good to know. Many thanks!

You won't be able to unfreeze it because it will not longer exist. But if you backed up the app and the data in TB before you flash you will be able to restore.
As for unlocking the bootloader, since your on T-mobile all you have to to is select "enable OEM unlock" in developers setting. Turns out the T-mobile bootloader isn't really locked .
If you follow the instructions for installing TWRP via the link in my signature it will walk you through it.
Edit: I just realized you asked why and not how. The bootloader has to be unlocked to install a custom recovery AFAK.

[Script] Safe bloat removal script (50+ apps) [UPDATED 9/1/2011]

There's been a lot of speculation on what can and can't be removed as well as how to remove them without causing force-closes, boot loops, and other headaches. So I wrote this script that will let you disable all of the bloat with none of the hassle.
After a few prompts to find out if there's anything you want to keep that can't be replaced in the market, it will do its magic -- renaming files to a .bak extension so they are no longer recognized by Android. This will cause some system services to fail and force-close loop until you reboot (and the script reboots for you). Also included is a script that will undo all of this.
If you select every option, including the default launcher and text messaging apps (which are confirmed safe to remove without losing SMS or MMS ability or push notifications), then here's the list of apps removed:
AdService.apk, android-syncservice-app.apk, ArcVideoEditorLite.apk, BackupAssistanceClient.apk, Blockbuster.apk, BlurHome2.apk, BlurSNMessagingEngine.apk, BlurTasks.apk, BlurUpdater_VZW.apk, BooksPhone.apk, CitrixReceiver.apk, CityID.apk, Conversations.apk, DLNA.apk, DlnaSystemService.apk, FriendFeed.apk, gotomeeting-stub-1.0.74.apk, GuidedTours.apk, HelpCenter.apk, IMPresence.apk, IndexingService.apk, Kindle.apk, MessagesWidget.apk, Messaging.apk, MOTOPRINT.apk, MSExchangeService.apk, MyVerizon.apk, NewBayVault_4.2.99.36.Market.apk, NFLMobile.apk, OnlineAlbum.apk, PhotoEditor.apk, PortalStandAlone.apk, Preloaded.apk, RichLocationVzW.apk, SkypeBourbon.apk, Slackerradio.apk, SocialMessaging.apk, SocialShare.apk, StatusWidget.apk, SuggestionsProvider.apk, SuggestionsRuleCheckerCore.apk, SuggestionsServiceScheduler.apk, Swype.apk, ToggleWidgets.apk, UniversalInbox.apk, Upgrader.apk, VCAST_TONES_4_5_7.apk, VCASTMusic.apk, VCASTVideo.apk, VSuiteApp.apk, vzw_vnav_DROID3_rel_PROD_signed.apk, VZWIM.apk, VZWInstaller.apk, WeatherWidget.apk, ZumoCast_1.0.17.apk
Make sure you run these scripts using Script Manager or a comparable app and be sure to enable it to run as root or it won't have permission to make changes to /system/app.
This is version 1 of the scripts -- if any of the apps removed wind up causing problems or more are found, I'll add it to the list. I've tested the scripts back and forth myself and have tested it as much as I can without finding any issues. Also, some apps are removed without asking, such as ZumoCast or VCAST or NFL Mobile. You can find these apps in the market, so there's no point keeping them locked down in system.
Enjoy! Comments are welcome.
UPDATE 9/1/2011: fixed a typo in one of the variables (thanks everyone who reported this), added more options to keep (Swype and Car Dock Voice Commands), split into two versions -- one for the stock 5.5.959 build and 5.6.890 update (late August OTA), added a warning about removing the home screen without a launcher and that it removes the Calendar widget.
Great, but maybe it would be nice to make a y/n option for each .apk where it asks you if you want to delete that apk

instructions for use?

You shouldn't delete them -- we don't have an SPF yet. Someone posted the complete /system/app contents and you could restore, technically, manually, but it's a bad idea. Renaming to a .bak is completely effective.

Read the post.
You'll want to use Script Manager -- unzip the two scripts to your SD card (internal or external), launch Script Manager (free version is fine), find the script and click it, then tick on 'root' and then run the script. Follow the prompts from there.

There's Y/N for anything you'd want to keep. About 6-7 questions in total. Anything that you can't find in the market that isn't definitely bloat has a prompt.

I use script manager and asked me if I want to remove each apk or not.
There is a script manager that does everything automatically?

Then answer 'Y' to the prompts asking if you want to keep 'DLNA' or 'social messaging'. There are plenty of photo editors in the market, so there's no prompt on that (although if you were so inclined, you could just rename the .BAK's back to their original files). I feel you haven't actually looked at the script or read my post.

I think the ultimate test is to do factory reset and see how device will go through initialization stage. It can be surprises which are not noticeable during normal use. Without this it is kind of premature to say what is safe to delete and what is not.

Ehh I agree with you to a point, because i made the very noobish mistake of uninstalling bloat that i knew would not effect daily use; however, I did a factory reset to test a theory for krazy and learned that something I uninstalled makes the setup process FC and wont let you get to the blur launcher, luckily other launchers work and I was able to batch install via adb.
Thing is though is if the phone reboots when this stuff is renamed then it will survive a factory reset, though it may do the same thing mine has done. If it does its no big deal to load up adb and rename the files back so that you can complete the setup.
You forgot the World Clock widget in your removal script; the only clock that thinks it needs a permanently-resident service, regardless of whether it's running or not.

That messes with the dock though, so I don't consider it bloat.
I know its a lot to ask... but can someone either create a comprehensive list of what each one actually does... or point us in a direction to where there already is one?

Open the script in a text editor and read my comments -- it gives each one a title.
@psouza4 - nice work, it's about time someone took a more organised approach to figuring out what apks are safe to remove.
I tried to get a similar effort going here :-

but the way people behave on this forum, it's like trying to herd cats.

Couple of notes, too:
It was asked in IRC why I'm removing 'android-syncservice-app.apk'. This service is the extra backup stuff that Verizon added on (as evidenced inside the package in /assets/system.properties you'll find several references to verizon servers for sync, like sm_connection_url=http://syncba.myvzw.com/syncml). This service doesn't do anything beneficial for you unless you really have a hard-on for Verizon's sync stuff. I've had it disabled since we achieved root and it has no affect on account sync services (contacts, gmail, calendar, reader, etc.) nor SMS/MMS push notifications, etc.
Also, a fellow PM'd me saying he got errors that variable names were invalid -- turns out he had edited the script in Windows, saved it, and that broke the UNIX-style line endings. If you're going to modify the script, use Notepad++, UltraEdit, or something that will maintain the correct line endings. Or just use an editor on the phone, such as in Root Explorer.
Thanks a bunch man, works great. About to run a benchmark to see the results!

Carrier IQ is on my phone?

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-38211
How is Carrier IQ even still around? Also, how do I get it off of my phone?

Use a package disabler app & disable this package:
com.tmobile.pr.adapt
It's basically what powers the "troubleshooting" part of the T-Mobile app,aka Carrier IQ.
When you 1st set up the phone,you should have seen the option to not have T-Mo snoop on your phone & that possibly is enough.
However,I think it's a good idea to disable any T-Mobile apps you don't use,whether by uninstalling/disabling,or,having to resort to using a package disabling app.
You can also use ADB to remove/disable the offending .app(s):
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
If you're not familiar w/the ADB method,give the entire article/how-to a thorough read before proceeding.

I've been using this one for a few months now ( APP FREEZER ) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakasoftware.appfreezer&hl=en
It requires one ADB Command to get it up & running:
adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.wakasoftware.appfreezer/.receiver.DPMReceiver
Afterwards,it's smooth sailing,even gives a Google Search shortcut for every .apk package. :good:
How about u.s. cellular?
Which package should I disable?

Remove Galaxy A40 bloatware

I have just acquired a Samsung Galaxy A40 phone. In my opinion, it has one of the best size/price/performance ratios on the market, reason why I bough it.
However, one very sad point about it is that there is still no LineageOS or any other custom ROMs to this phone, forcing myself to stick to the Samsung ultra-bloated distribution.
Having to accept this fact, my first action was to clean the phone the best I could, by removing any unnecessary crap from Sansumg and others from Google, Linkedin, Facebook and anything not strictly necessary. I based my list on some available (find ref on the script), but I also added some other useful commands.
Let me know if this works out for you, and if you have any point to add to the list. Find it attached on the Gist below:
https://gist.github.com/joaofl/7671e7e96a760e9b368992d6694a33d9
Before running it, I recommend reading the comments on the scrip, so that you dont end up without keyboard for example.
Hope it suites you!
By the way, do you have any information on when or if there is anybody working on a custom ROM (Lineage preferably) for this device?
EDIT:
There is no need to be root!

Instead of removing system apps you can simply disable them which is easily reversible.
If the Disable button is grayed-out in the Settings > App > app's info see this XDA article: How to disable any pre-installed system app bloatware on Android without root using adb

I need root permissions to do this
But will this run without rooting the phone?
EDIT: It works!
Beautiful.
I'm new with Galaxy A40, i'm really not a fan of Samsung but it was great to have the idea of making a phone lower than 15cm that is my need for lot of reasons.
I was just preparing to remove some system apps like bixby and samsung launcher, than i found out this script but... may you please give a description of most incomprehensible apps in the list?
Instructions
A big thanks to joaofl for getting this list together for us!!!
Here's some info that might help others...
- This article has info (it's further down in the page) on how to use the script (you copy and paste it into Windows command promt/cmd as admin and after installing ADB... link in the article below).
https://piunikaweb.com/2019/03/25/samsung-galaxy-s10-remove-bundled-bloatwares-without-root/
- There's a typo in the script... Lines 84 onwards on the code has a typo where it says 'pm' rather than 'adb'. Changing that before you paste it into cmd fixes it.

Indeed, there were some errors there. I updated the script now, and it should work better now.
and NO, you dont need to be root to run it.
I prefer to remove stuff instead of disabling it, as it free up some space. Worst case, you need to restore the phone.
Yesterday I disabled a lot of unnecessary apps on my Galaxy A40. At a certain point the device was locked an a message said something about "not authorised removal of billing/paying apps". I had to do a hard recovery because I could not enable any of the apps. In fact I could do nothing with the phone
I mention this because on all the lists I found on the internet the billing/paying apps are listed as bloatware/unnecessary which was not true in my case. My A40 is customised by hutchison (drei) maybe this has something to do with it.
edit: the package name which is locking the phone is
com.samsung.android.kgclient
HTH and have a nice day!
Does anyone know if a factory reset from Settings will restore all the apps removed via this process?
EDIT: It does.
Can you say which apps cannot be removed OR disabled?

Do not remove Samsung Payment Services (using root), if you do you will get a locked/unusable device, it will show 'Device locked because Payment services was uninstalled without authorization' and reflash will be needed.

Thanks, I'll just stick to disabling apps until I get to know this phone a bit better! The battery monitor doesn't say I have anything chewing up CPU and I'm only losing a few % overnight on idle (even with LED notification fix) so I must have optimized a good bit already.
hello,
good idea !!
i have done the same with luckypatcher (need root)
i forgot this way.... easy with adb
thank you.
Hi, just uninstalled apps using ADB and the script from Page 1. All is fine, even though I forgot to install G-board beforehands, I just sent it from laptop to install on A 40 afterwards.
Amazing job. phone feels lighter and smooth now.
Thank you !!! @joaofl @curiousrom and @costa11

Adb doesn't need to be Rooted to be used
Just activate USB debugging(see tutorial about développer mode), and use cmd from your PC (and have adb.exe in a directory for sure)
Pay attention that the phone will Ask you to confirm the authentication as soon as you set "adb start-server"
For the backup, you have already asked it in another thread in which i answered you.

I just recover all my files from another Samsung Galaxy to new A40 with own Samsung account backup . There is also Google backup but it is not complete . Samsung backup satisfied me a lot . Just register , sign in Samsung account and from phone settings click on backup .
No need root , of course .
Regarding removing bloatware there are plenty of tutorials on this subject . Just look for it . It's all about adb shell cmd and activate debugging mode from phone . You need also an apk inspector from Google Play to know for sure name of apk you want to uninstall . Don't touch system apks , lists with bloatwares can be uninstalled you can find here on xda (galaxy phones) .
Personally I remarked besides their importance , apks like Calendar and Google Search eat a lot battery . I don't need these apks so I got rid of those and another and I can say battery was semnifically improved . I use also dark mode (from usb debugging) , native digital wellbeing for nights and all-in-one tools apk for some special android characteristics like boost , boot , clean etc
It's important to mention all apks uninstalled still remained in android backup image so they can be restored from phone factory reset .
Succes !
I clean my A40 from the bloatware with the script and I lost the recents app screen of One UI.

I think "Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools" is a great option for debloating ->
Note: This project is outdated and no longer maintained.
A simple tool for managing Xiaomi devices on desktop using ADB and Fastboot
szaki.github.io
You can disable or uninstall unwanted apps for the current user. There is absolutely no reason to hard delete bloatware nowadays.

If the reinstall feature doesn't work, you can factory reset your device and everything will be back to stock. Are you sure that uninstalling of system app causes the problem? May be you changed some settings in the developer options...

I think this happen after debloat.. but yeah doesn't make too much sense an app causing this.. And i don't really want factory reset . So probably i will check developer options maybe im lucky and the problem is there.

-Problem solved by just disable and enable developer options . Thanks a lot mate

How to debloat ?

Hello, I tried to remove the applications I don't want via adb shell, the adb devices command works, but the following pm list packages does not work
It tells me the term PM is not recognized
Any solution?
Through ADB they are not physically removed, they are only hidden for the current user.
They can only be completely removed on a rooted phone, imo.
i have use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mate-app-manager-debloat-tool-tweaks.4147837/ you say the apps is not totally removed ?

I meant the ADB command
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xxx.xxx
By the way, there is a similar program for Huawei devices - "Huawei Multi-Tool".
Edit: btw, the linked tool uses the same command , so it's just a placebo, applications will remain in the appropriate system partition. (I have tested it on a rooted phone).
ok ok thanks, but i cant root it , its a work phone

You can remove Google on Android device only if you replace it with another system, i.e. custom ROM. It's logical, isn't it?
