I'd really like to be able to disable the app-bar. Anyone know how?
You can remove it in Settings > App. Like how you would uninstall or disable apps on any other Android device.
Hi,
Thanks, yes, but I'd prefer not to uninstall it, just in case I want to use it later. I know that it can be reinstalled from the Planet website, but I was hoping for a less brutal option. Looks like uninstalling might have to be the way to go though.

Root the device (it won't wipe it to flash the rooted boot image) and install an app like App Quarantine to freeze/disable apps you don't want running but also don't want to uninstall.

Since you can't sort apps with the stock sense launcher, I'm wondering for a list of which apps are absolute safe to uninstall (Stocks, More info, Twitter, Setup etc.).
This is cause I'm of sick of having to scroll through a long list of useless things to find what I want.
I tried uninstalling these apps but ran into FC issues.
I tried searching the forum for something similar and found nothing, does noone else find this anoying?
Thanks all!

the truth is that i do not manage to understand for what you look...
If that i know that we can´t classify the app of the launcher by files thing that is soo troublesome ...
Then.. Do you want a list of the apk that come for default in an official ruu?
Which of these apps can I safely remove because I don't want them and are only cluttering my app drawer.
The issue is that some of them are apperently needed and cause "Force Close" issue when removed.
Thanks

there are things.. like peep.apk that you can´t uninstall from the aplications admin. of android because are original apk´s of official ruu,, but you can try to uninstall using "rom-cleaner"
another think you can´t uninstall only one think of google maps.apk.. or uninstall completly or you are going to have problems later if you uninstall one by one...
there´s no problem if you uninstall youtube.apk, LOL

I've got root, so I can uninstall everything directly from phone.
I'm looking for something more like a list of things possible to uninstall without issues (for example uninstalling all this causes the market to not work properly and i've heard that uninstalling twitter causes a FC issue).
Yes, I know that I can uninstall Youtube , I just tried to clarify what I want
Does anyone have a list of safe bloatware to uninstall? e.g. at&t Navigator.
The reason I ask is because I changed my DPI and even after a factory reset it was stuck at "at&t ready2go" i believe it is due to the app being uninstalled...
Any help would be appreciated.

If you are not sure. Rather than uninstalling right away, you can disable the app from application manager.
Note: if app has been updated, you need to uninstall updates first then disable.
Here's what I have disabled on mine:

I didnt know stock could "freeze" apps. this means i dont need titanium backup. LOL. i guess back ups are good. but this is great info. thank you so much. If you factory reset, they are then enabled i take it.
Thanks!

I did the exact same thing as dnanj, I took everything AT&T and froze it. I did not touch any of the Samsung apps and of course the Google apps (I'm bowing to my Google overlords as I type this) as I would assume they would interfere with their U/I and OS.
I went a little too far with removing some of the default LG apps after rooting and I'm getting odd issues now. I'd like to reinstall apps vs. reimage the stock setup if possible.
Does anyone know where I can grab all the stock apps for the G4?
If you install LG Smartworld, you can download all the LG apps again.
it's also accessible here: http://www.lgappstv.com/
Thanks for the suggestion but it looks like the applications I need aren't in this store. So far it looks like I need to reinstall LG Lifetracker, LG Backup and LG Air drive.

There is somewhere you can download them. I thought it was that app. it must be another LG app somewhere, because I had to use it to download and install the FM Radio app.
Found it!
Settings - About Phone - Update Centre - Software Update.
Your missing apps are in there for download
It claims all apps are installed. I wonder if I didn't fully delete the apps with Tibu so it thinks I still have them.

Why don't you just reapply the rooted system.IMG you used while rooting. That will give you all your apps back
I tried that and it didn't for whatever reason.

I almost wonder if perhaps you had frozen the apps at some point prior to uninstalling them cause if you did, when you reinstall stuff tibu would pick up that you want them frozen and they would be gone again. Flashing the system installs all the crap that's included in stock so this is the only logical reason I can think of that would be causing your issue

I have the LGUSMms.apk installed, I see it in folders, in app drawer, but when I click it, it says app not installed, won't open. I redid the rooted image, still the same. Any ideas?

Hey
Anyone having Problems with deinstalling the system apps too?
I am successfully rooted and tried to deinstall YouTube/maps/chrome etc., but the always come back after reboot.i am trying with titanium backup, magisk debloat and magisk App systemizer, but no matter which way I choose.. The result ist always the same...
As I understood, system apps are on read-only partition, so it's near impossible to get rid of them. I managed to remove them usind adb, but I think it's not permanent solution.

Try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-uninstall-apps-t3776235/amp/
Open the link in a browser.
When you uninstall an app, you may need to try a couple of times, but it does go away.
Other solution is to freeze the app with TiBackup. Almost the same, the apps even stay frozen after an update.

Yes... Did this too. But sadly it is not a solution for YouTube-vanced...
Agree with all fronts. Very annoying. I'm hoping that titanium is able to fix this issue soon

I pretty much followed this guide:

I think there was an S10 one somewhere also.
