Using Titanium Backup I have frozen the following apps and remained stable:
Amazon Kindle 0.9.6
AT&T Code Scanner 1.0
AT&T FamilyMap 2.0
AT&T Hot Spots 0.955
AT&T Navigator 1.0
Books 1.5.2
Get HD Games 1.0.0
Live TV 1.0
MOG Music 1.0.2
myAT&T 1.0
Polaris Office 3.0.3132.0 (I have QuickOffice purchased anyway)
Qik Lite 0.1.18
SmartShare 2.0
Social+ 3.0.200
Yellow Pages 2.3.5
YP 1.0
I'm using ADW Launcher EX instead of the regular launcher, and post-reboot Auto Killer Memory Optimizer shows me at about just over 500MB free RAM. Plus the app drawer is cleaner and the phone feels a little snappier
(No, I'm not using this app to kill apps, just to get a report on Services/Processes/RAM.)
(Yes, I realize that number will go down as things get cached, etc. - but I needed something regular to measure against)
I also freezed:
AT&T Address Book
City ID
Dracula
Featured Apps
Home screen tips
LG keyboard
Market Feedback Agent
Zynga Poker HD
Wi-Fi Share (couldn't figure out how to use it)
P.S.
The AT&T Hot Spots are useful if you have hotspots around (airports, starbucks, mcdonalds, etc), plus connecting to WiFi saves battery ALOT.
don't forget ya got smartshare on yer phone after ya freeze it, app is pretty sweet. i use myatt too.
i haven't figured out what cityid is, what is that?

it supposedly tells you the city name of the caller, and my understanding it's a trial app.

I didn't replace it with anything. Att Address book simply adds list of ATT phone numbers to your address book

the only issue with this setup is that you are not in control how often google checks your 6 other accounts, it could be 5 minutes, could be 50.
I prefer push mail, which Nitro lacks of by default unless it's exchange mail.

It's probably the stock Launcher. Which means it is ONLY safe to freeze IF you have another launcher installed that is stable. Otherwise on boot you're going to be in a lot of trouble.

thank you!
A word of warning about freezing att address book. If you freeze it, you may not be able to add contacts from the phone (i am speaking from my personal experience, if someone could confirm that would be great), even if you do even have any contacts with att address book. I think it is integrated in and breaks something in the stock contacts app that freezes the whole process because when I try to add contacts it freezes on a gray screen. When I unfreeze the app, adding contacts works again.
figured i'd bump this with an update.
IMO, freezing all this shiz has done more for perf and batt life than Juice Defender or Ram manager.

That's in addition to deleting all the available apps ATT lets us delete. family finder, etc.
Sorry guys, noob here, but I thought I should add my feedback to this list - I froze nearly every app listed here, (except for a few that I use, like calculator) had setCPU installed, and my phone is now acting really laggy. I'm not really sure what to attribute this to. The root? Frozen apps? I uninstalled SetCPU and tried to defrost the apps I had frozen (both with a batch and individually), but it won't let me. I tried making a copy of the frozen app, then deleting, then re-installing the copied version (suggested on another XDA thread), but that does not work. It just hangs when deleting as well. Can someone else verify that Titanium Backup is defrosting / deleting / restoring as expected on the Nitro?
Another weird side effect is that my internal storage says its almost full, which is crazy considering I never installed a new app after freezing those apps, and last time I checked I had plenty of space. Is it possible for Titanium Backup to be caching somewhere other than the SD? It's pretty weird. I really don't have many apps installed. Also (and perhaps this is due to the low system space, or specifically attributed to a frozen app) But my video playback is crazy laggy now.
Just thought I would post this to see if anyone else is getting weirdness after freezing apps.
setcpu caused similar issues on my phone. i uninstalled it and no more problems
I just factory reset (which I never did after root) and reinstalled setCPU and its working great. I even tested the HD videos again and they are now running smooth. Still a bit scared to start freezing apps again. For now I've just hidden them in launcher pro. Out of sight, out of mind I guess.

I had issues unfreezing Address Book which I did initially without thinking. After I froze it and realized you couldn't add contacts I tried unfreezing it. However, it wasn't on my list of frozen apps or backed up apps. I had to to a factory reset to bring it all back.
So far I haven't had any problems freezing/unfreezing, yet I did not play with many unfreezing apps. However I did notice on some backups (especially if they came from different phone), TB would freeze during restore, but in most cases it turned out to be due to dev mode disabled in the settings (thanks LG for disabling it for us each time we use any options other then "PC connect" when phone connected to PC). So as long as I have dev mode enabled, I don't recall having any problems with TB.
Speaking of SetCPU, I also noticed lagginess with default settings, but it mostly only visible right after reboot. After phone been used for a while it's smooth as iPhone (ok, almost...ok, not really, but close).
This also make me think, that Nitro by default keeps CPU at 1.5ghz at all times, it would explain lagginess if it has to jump from 192mhz to 1.5ghz as per SetCPU default. Maybe if you set min and max to 1.5ghz will it still be more laggy then with no SetCPU?
What do you guys set it at?
For those that are unaware you can find it here:
Settings > Developer Options > Background Process Limit
Anyways, I just want to gauge what XDA users do with this. I often set mine to "At most 3 processes" as oppose to the standard limit but I don't really see a difference. I assume the standard limit is Google's designed way to deal with apps in the background but that doesn't really tell us much.
Anyone have any observations on battery life or performance?
I guess the battery life wouldn't be much better than normal. Android deals with background processes pretty well so I've not bothered to change this option.

Same here.
Like I said in the other thread about this. Don't monkey around with those settings. They're meant for developers to troubleshoot the ways that their apps handle being put into the background and how they are managed when they're killed.
Android will handle your background processes. Just let them be. You'll be better off all around by doing so.
i set mine to 3, but how many process in standard limit?

I think there is not limit, app gets killed when phone runs out off free RAM
do not change that setting unless you like having worse battery life from apps having to constantly restart and lag from apps not being in cache.
I don't see why anyone except a developer trying to troubleshoot their apps would change this setting at all

it is SUPPOSED to do this.
it isn't meant to be something any regular user sets in order to try and get better performance or anything.
in fact, just the opposite may happen

Hi, I just want to share with you the list of apps I have disabled using "Package Disabler Pro".
The app costs a couple of dollars and does not need root: it only disables apps and does not remove them.
I am attaching the XML file: you can either import this in the app (and modify the outcome) or open the file to see the list of disabled apps.
Two more apps that can be disabled are...
... com.sec.android.app.soundalive: the equaliser
... com.sec.hearingadjust: tweaks audio thru headphones based on an audio test
Be careful that by disabling get the following apps (list not exhaustive) you may get FC's in some settings:
- Themes (on top of the main settings page)
- Calendar, Messages (sms), Email (in sound settings)
Nothing to be worried about: it's just bad coding from Samsung

Be careful about disabling touchwiz. If you don´t have a launcher, you will end up in a reboot loop (read it elsewhere).
Btw, I am using it too. Will post the list briefly, but I am having problems: cant take any screenshots. Pressing the home button and power button simultaneously does nothing. Any ideas?

There is a massive thread going on for this with the note 5. I have been keeping track. But is the bloat carrier specific? I'm with 3 UK. I have package disabler pro and have done nothing with it as I'm worried running an xml for say an American bloated handset. Will cause issues. I don't like just turning of something when I have no idea what it's for.

Hi thanks for the list. I used the debloater app along with the list above to remove a boat load of apps.
I am removing a few more, will soon post a new list. Phone battery is now lasting a lot longer. Have also installed Google Launcher: it is a lot smoother than touch wiz, especially scrollable widgets.
Updated OP with more info and a new XML fie.
Enjoy...
I'm not seeing any attachment on OP. How do I get the XML file? Thanks.
Try now
What's the option that turns down the battery stats?
Because I go to the options and it doesn't show up the battery option
True... didn't notice... will try to find out
Smart Manager
A little to agressive (i lost some basic apps and I saw NFC and Miracast disabled) but I re-enabled what I needed and looks good. Had only one force close in settings.apk but might be related to missing battery options which I re-enabled as well. But overall great work, beer for you!

yes I noticed NFC and battery, and re-enabled tem myself
what is miracast?
out of curiosity, which are the basic apps you needed and that were disabled?
you may get an FC also if you disable theme, that I have disablked since I do not use touchwiz but GEL
I"ll keep it short, if you guys have more tips to improve on this please share.
I have been testing this for days on my wife stock v30 and mine. Both started the same with all bloware.
After doing this I actually get
-Better battery
-Less battery drain in standby
-Faster performance
-and MUCH SMOOTHER SCROLLING
It seems to be a few LG apps running in the backgroung that are causing the stutter and lag we have all experience,
some more than others.
Before doing this, go into different apps check speed and scrolling (Instagram, google home, gmail etc) so u can see the before and after.
READ THIS BEFORE DOING:
-LG KEYBOARD IS DISABLE, download a different keyboard (swipe, gboard) and have that already install in your device, if you already have then disregard this
-Also downloaded a different launcher if u are going to disable the stock launcher. I recommend using a different launcher other than the LG.
Let start.
1: Go into play store and download "LG package disabler"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lgpd.pmanager
I believe is $1.99 but well worth it for what u can actually do
The LG PACKAGE DISABLE is suppost to AUTOMATICALLY download thr plugin needed to have administrator right so u can disable apps. if it doesnt after installation. download it here.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.weblib.mdm
2: BELOW I have attach pics of all apps i have disable. disable all or just the apps u which to disable.
NOTE: I disable Chrome (using Samsung internet beta) which support ad blocker (highly recommended) you can enable chrome in LG PD
3: go to developer option and enable "force gpu rendering"
after all this, Restart your phone. It should be faster and smoother.
Theres a few things you might want ENABLE (like the floating bar) which I have disable since I don't use it.
I did not include the 0.5X animation trick since I like my animation to be at 1.0X (personal choice)

V30 is great for battery life even with no app disable. This is more about making the snappier. i do get 7 - 8 plus sot on every charge.
I've done this on other phones, so I know how, but when I import and set, the apps don't get disabled. I have to go through manually. Any idea why?
I've been using this since this morning including the XML file. Seems to be working great although I haven't been paying enough attention to know whether or not battery life has improved. At the very least it's worth it to know that I can get rid of all of the bloatware.

Exactly. Just have to be careful that you don't disable too much. You can accidentally disable things that seem like bloat, but somewhere deep in the system settings, another app/feature could be looking for it. I played that game for weeks getting the debloat of my V20 ROMs just right.
the app doesn't work for me for some reason. I run it, import the xml file, it says "107 packages disabled" or something like that, then reboot my phone, and check how many packages are disabled, and it says only 3. Whenever I import the xml file I never see it actually put a checkmark next to any packages to disable.
Any ideas what's going on? I've already uninstalled/reinstalled and it does the same thing. Do I manually need to give the app certain permissions?
---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------
I now went through the steps to make the app an owner app from adb, and I successfully was able to run the command (removed all my accounts, ran the command, re-added my accounts). Still, nothing actually disables.
OK, just tried this with Package Disabler (not the LG specific one) and it bricked my phone. I'm now stuck on the white T-Mobile screen and the phone won't load. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Who can rut tests on just freshly unboxed V30? So we could measure if we can get it faster

You are not bricked. Not from disabling packages. You will have to factory reset to get back up and running,
I wanted to start an informal thread here where anyone could discuss various little mods and tweaks that any of us might be playing around with on our V30s.
I'm not talking major things like flashing a rom or rooting or anything like that. We already have super talented people that helped to make all those things possible and there are 100+ page threads about some of them. (Big thanks to all of you serious developers!)
Consider this a discussion thread for the "Tinkerers" though more experienced actual development is of course welcomed.
Personally I am always playing around with my device just to see what I can get it to do, or access or change etc. I use apps like Preference Manager, and Shortcut Master to play around and discover the "hidden" stuff that you aren't supposed to get to, or at least not yet. Sometimes this gives me a sneak peak at some beta feature or adds a setting I didn't have, or a UI tweak etc.
I figure that a bunch of you probably do the same things and thought it would be cool to have a thread just to share those little one off things we discover that wouldn't normally warrant a whole post of it's own.
Maybe you want to share what substratum build is working well for you.
Or maybe you found a magisk module that wasn't built for the LG V30 but works great (Dialer and contacts for the one plus worked great on my device)
I'll kick us off with one little tweak I never see posts about.
Using Shortcut Master I have changed some of the LG Home App settings in order to have a modded home launcher. Basically I'm using some of the features LG chooses to keep hidden. Some pics of the menu are below. Minor changes but I've had the Google screen to the left of my home screen for a while now and I don't have to use Nova or something else to get it to work.
I've never really seen a post on what all of these check boxes do, so I've played around with all of them and can report that most are minor, and some will ruin your day, so Tinkerers beware if you decide to emulate.
Here's another example of the kind of stuff I mean. Does anyone actually know what High Lux Mode does? I've enabled and disabled and don't really notice a difference.
Maybe a thread like this will help shed a little light on something we can all use.
I want to share that anyone on rom without Qlen support can co to system/build.prop, find "lge.support.lglens=not-suppport" change it to support and reboot

That's probably because those screenshots are from older versions of Android. Or he has some theme applied.
It looks like the screenshots where it's been talked about in other threads, especially the Shortcut Master Lite.
You can still download a copy of Shortcut Master (Lite) 1.2.4 from APKMirror. It disappeared from the Play Store about a month ago - I'm not sure of the reason.

Not positive and can't test for it because I don't yet have a V30, but I would guess this toggles the phone's ability to use fullbright/sunlight/etc mode.
Brightness is usually capped below 100% to increase panel longevity; this limit is bypassed with high enough light levels hitting the light sensor next to the call speaker. Last I heard you need VERY bright light with the V30, and the high threshold makes it flicker on and off a lot; this could give some people bothered by it a bit of relief.

I've never really seen a post on what all of these check boxes do, so I've played around with all of them and can report that most are minor, and some will ruin your day, so Tinkerers beware if you decide to emulate.

Thanks again for this info. I would appreciate if you can assist me in enabling the swipe left to Google on home page of lg stock launcher(no app.drawer option)
Swap Torpedo (Magisk Module): It flushes your stupid stupid compressed ZRAM/Swap. All of your apps will load faster and smoother.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-swap-torpedo-run-faster-reliably-t3766883
Reasoning: You don't need freaking swap on a phone with 2 GB or more. V30 has 4 GB RAM. Never run into any issues with this. Flash and forget.
fstrim (Magisk module): trims your phone when it has been idle for more than 5 minutes.
https://github.com/GreyLeshy/magisk-module-fstrim/releases
Reasoning: Right now your phone only trims when it has been idle for hours and is charging which is almost never. You will notice the difference. Things will write faster to storage. Read and write speeds are faster in general. It's a very simple script that you don't need to check for updates. Flash and forget.
RAM Manager (Magisk Module): Reduces app refreshing significantly.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/ram-manager-magisk-t3816986
Reasoning: V30 has very aggressive memory management which works for most people but gives trouble for heavy multitasking. This is fixing the issue. Everything stays in memory until it's absolutely out of memory. Then it starts kicking things out. Flash and forget. Note: If you want to use this with Swap Torpedo you must install Swap Torpedo first, then RAM Manager.
None of these tweaks consume battery, in fact they save you battery. I used to tweak my previous phones a lot but after many tests I've realized that the V30 is incredibly optimized. No need for L Speed or Kernel Adiutor or any of that nonsense. Storage, CPU, GPU and battery performance are super optimized on this device. It even puts some flagship phones with SD 845 CPUs to shame. LG devs did an incredible job and pulling out ALL of the stops to make it run smooth. Read ahead is already at 4096 kb, no need to tweak! Storage is mounted relatime so it won't waste write and read. All partitions are already aligned perfectly. LG dedicated some space for overprovisioning so nothing to tweak there either. On a good day my UFS 2.1 storage read speed is more than 740 MB/s and write up to 300 MB/s. More than my SSDs in my computer. Incredible work by LG. Battery life is tweaked to the maximum as well and so is GPU driver performance. Do not touch those things especially build.prop. Every other tweak I have tried has introduced some issue somewhere else. This is a phone that you leave alone and be happy that the devs optimized it so well LG has people smarter than us working on these and who fully understand how the device works. The era of complex kernel tweaks and scripts is officially over.

Thanks for the tips on the other 2 but I just wanted to chime in on swap torpedo or getting rid of the swap on the V30. Doing this made a pretty big difference on my V20 but I noticed on my TMobile V30 that it actually was making me reload certain apps quite frequently. Now I didn't do very much testing with it but I noticed that when I got rid of swap if I had one of my more intensive 3D games running and I switched over to the camera or vice versa I would have to reload the app that was switched from. With stock swap settings I could switch back to the previous app (game or camera whichever) and it would still be open and ready.
Now take this with a grain of salt obviously because there are too many variables but I'm sharing my experience and so far mine has been better with stock swap settings on the H932 at least.
For those who don't frequent the Q&A section, @rollingstone321 figured out how to force quick-charging while the screen is on;

Ok after searching a long time I have found where lg did hide the charging restriction
Sys/module/lge_power_class_charging_controller
If you put the parameter for restricted_charging to LCD OFF you will get quick charge when also using the phone.
But Android changes this parameter back once the device goes to sleep. How can I make this parameter stay or even remove the module?

Try setting it to read-only. I'm not sure if this will persist the setting after reboot, though. This might also have the unintended effect of forcing the charging restriction to happen while the screen is off, as "LCD OFF" suggests; have you tried seeing what happens if you blank the setting instead?

Leaving it blank freezes the phone, same with '0' or 'disable'. So LCD OFF is only option for now. But I rather have fast charge while I m using Waze in the car and be able to charge till 100% fast, and slow charging at night.
...
Seems like changing the parameter to LCD OFF and setting the file to only read did the trick.

As bolded, setting it to LCD OFF and making it read-only might make the phone slow-charge while the screen is off. Having something (Tasker, AutomateIt, etc) set it each time the screen is turned on is a better solution if you want all QC, all the time, since it'll reset itself on screen-off.
If someone wants to go digging in LG's kernel source to see what the valid parameters are, figure out the proper setting to just disable the limiter and set it to read-only, that'd of course be best.
I went digging myself using Lunar kernel, and it seems this is read and limit set based on it, not the condition under which the restriction is imposed as I first thought.

Keep in mind that fast-charging alone creates quite some heat, and doing it while running the SoC under load will increase the rate that your battery ages. It's hard to say how much, since there are so many contributing factors to battery wear, but one thing is true regardless: li-ion batteries don't particularly like heat. Charge responsibly!

No I can confirm what you are saying. There is more reloading because LG optimized the V30 so perfectly. You really don't need the tweaks tbh. But that is why I use Swap Torpedo in conjunction with RAM Manager. I would even argue there is not enough of a benefit that people would notice anyway but for me things like Nova Launcher run slightly smoother. It might even just be placebo and there is no tangible difference. Either way V30 is so well optimized out of the box, I personally believe it's a waste of time and resources to use tweaks even if I use them. :good:

Isn't this actually bad though? You don't want fstrim triggering 24/7? I know on an SSD that counts as writes and you only get a certain amount until you kill the lifespan.

RAM Torpedo is actually good. Just look for yourself. Screenshot of before and after.

Ok using torpedo swap, it's actually horrible for multitasking. I'll have only 1 app open, ( line chat) open chrome for a link, copy and go back to line chat and it wants to reload.
Total crap. Never had an issue till this mod. It's also the only mod I've ran.

I wanted to start an informal thread here where anyone could discuss various little mods and tweaks that any of us might be playing around with on our V30s.
I'm not talking major things like flashing a rom or rooting or anything like that. We already have super talented people that helped to make all those things possible and there are 100+ page threads about some of them. (Big thanks to all of you serious developers!)
Consider this a discussion thread for the "Tinkerers" though more experienced actual development is of course welcomed.
Personally I am always playing around with my device just to see what I can get it to do, or access or change etc. I use apps like Preference Manager, and Shortcut Master to play around and discover the "hidden" stuff that you aren't supposed to get to, or at least not yet. Sometimes this gives me a sneak peak at some beta feature or adds a setting I didn't have, or a UI tweak etc.
I figure that a bunch of you probably do the same things and thought it would be cool to have a thread just to share those little one off things we discover that wouldn't normally warrant a whole post of it's own.
Maybe you want to share what substratum build is working well for you.
Or maybe you found a magisk module that wasn't built for the LG V30 but works great (Dialer and contacts for the one plus worked great on my device)
I'll kick us off with one little tweak I never see posts about.

How do I navigate to these screens? I have shortcut master and can't find them. I want to enable support for Google now launcher.
Thanks
