Uninstalled:
o F-Secure
o Car Home
o LG Email (installed stock android e-mail instead, it actually works with Exchange.)
o PC Suite
o On Screen Phone and related services
o LG Launcher (don't do this unless you're sure you'll not need to factory reset.)
o SNS (Twitter/Facebook, official apps are better.)
o All LG-widgets except for Messages and Calendar.
o Voice Search
If you're unsure if uninstalling an app will mess up your phone, just freeze it instead. (If you're using Titanium Backup, which you should, you can get it to remove it from the Market and app-screen as well, making it appear completely uninstalled. If your phone doesn't do anything strange for a week then it's probably safe to uninstall it for real.)

thanks TrymHansen...
i do have Titanium backup pro. i'm a veteran of the galaxy i7500, so i did alot of freezing and uninstalling.
i opened this thread to compile a list of safe prof uninstalling so everyone will benefit
from it.
your reply is great contribution in that cause.

How you uninstalled all these apps?

Optimus2XPrime -
1. you need to have root (read how to in the Development sector).
2. you need to install any uninstalling tool from the market (Titanium backup for example).
3. you need to be very careful with what you uninstall so the phone will still be usable.
4. advice - uninstall stuff thet you read others have and reported it's fine...

1) done
2) downloaded
3-4) will be done
P.S some minutes after my post I found the answer

what does freeze do ?

removes selected app from app drawer and cannot be started by user and/or system. like they are uninstalled, but still there, occupying few megabytes. can easily be un-freezed from Titanuim

Isnt there any free software ? titanium is paid one

to Freeze LG Facebook, Freeze "SNS".
Music 1.0 vs 2.2.2 - One is the music widget, one is the player.

emmc music, use doubletwist, or similar to fix for now, no true hw acceleration, and a popup when downloading from market about file size.

Hmmm ok I'll try it out, hopefully the calendar shows this time. I tried the MIUI.us one and didn't have a calendar

i've been working on that, it's been a lingering issue. but on my last 4 boots with install it's been there.

Just loaded it on and everything works as it should. Even put Apex on so now I have either MIUI launcher or stock launcher!
Although I'm having problems with root permission and the keyboard doesn't do as well as correcting like the AOKP ICS build
**Sorry didn't see the post about the SU flash...I'll try that**

Just thought I would put out my findings so far on this version:
Cons:
- After putting on the SU flash it seems to have helped with the root permissions. Root Explorer crashes on me when I open it, it asked for root permission and this FC's.
- The keyboard doesn't recognize words like the typical ICS keyboard does and puts the red line under normal words that you would use. Even changing keyboards it still does it in the messaging apps and things. Not sure if it's a translation thing or what. Like in notes I have "one call for scheduling" for some notes I took and all four of those words have red lines under them.
- Notes and a few other things aren't translated to English, still is in Chinese even though I have English set as the language.
- Autobrightness doesn't seem to work the best, it stays pretty dim after the screen goes off and back on.
Pros:
- Battery life seems to be good but I haven't charged completely to test, I just charged a light charge and has stayed at the battery level for about a hour now and I have used it slightly so it does appear that it's good.
- Not really by your doing but it's nice being able to use the Apex launcher with the MIUI launcher so you could have the vanilla ICS look as well as MIUI look without changing roms.
- Gallery works fine on my end as well as the external music files. Doesn't read the internal but that's already posted I believe.
Hope that's not to long of a post and provides some good feedback, Calendar showed up this time on this flash and everything else seems to be working like it should

Is the fixed ROM a flashover and is there a way to get rid of the "download size requires WI-fi"?

Hey Mark, loving this rom so far. Seems really solid and am looking forward to the next update.
Was the 1x4 miui music widget removed? I'm only seeing the 4x4. Any way to get that back?
Just rembered: the Facebook sync, under accounts and sync, doesn't work. When you choose it, it just returns you to the account list.

If the widget was removed it was because of china, we should see it again soon though. This week they reintroduced their "custom music" app. For facebook sync, ICS removed it, you will need to download an app from market, i use http://tinyurl.com/7snt9sw from market. It syncs all contacts and pictures. Just add account from settings>accounts and sync

[Q] HD 7 widgets not working after 7.2.2. Has someone any solution?

Followind the [email protected] 7,2,2 OTA, I re-rooted, renstalled ADW Launcher etc etc... In ADW was't impossible to install widgets and wallpapers: solved for static wallpaper downloading Wallpapers HD, live wallpapers still not working.
I found no way to get widgets working. Has someone suggestions? Thanks

Same issue, but with Go Launcher. I try to add a widget and it briefly says 'loading' but then nothing happens afterwards. Interestingly, the Go Launcher widgets can be added just fine, the list of them populates and they can be added, so the fundamental mechanism seems fine and because it happened on ADW it doesn't appear to be a launcher-specific issue.

I am having the same problem since the 7.2.2 update. My KFHD is unrooted (I do not have the expertise to do it and do not want to void my warranty), but learned here how to use the ADW launcher (Thanks!). Widgets already installed still work, but can't add new ones to the homescreens. I have had a couple of other issues since the update, and spent about 20 minutes on the phone with Amazon CS yesterday without resolution--she wanted me to deregister, and if that didn't work to do a factory reset. I am unwilling to do that at this point as I don't want to lose my widgets that are still working.
Other issues since update: Business Calendar app and KFHD calendar app will not sync with my Google calendar (they did before).
Notifications are muted, but sound anyway. For now, I will just use the Google calendar on a Chrome webpage, and turn off my Wifi at night so notification sounds won't wake me up, but am not pleased about having to use work-arounds!

Tried and it works!
It solved my widget problem with ADW. I hope it will work for the other launchers too.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
it solved also the live wallpaper problem! The trik was to move the picker to system\apps, change permissions and NOT install : just leave it there: exacliy as for the widgets picker. Thanks again

Had similarv issues. Installed APEX Launcher and everything works fine.

Is there an option for unrooted KFHD? I was thrilled to find your solution for recovering access to widgets after 7.2.2 upgrade. However after attempting several times I can not copy your apk to system/app... I have concluded that it is because my Kindle is unrooted?????
The widgets were working with 7.2.1 then immediately after the upgrade I could no longer access them to place on screen. Everything else with ADWlauncher EX v1.3.3.8 Is still working with no problems, including still being able to place shortcuts and folders on the homescreen.

To those who are unrooted, did Amazon customer service provide any additional info regarding this problem? Hope you get it fixed!

No, CS didn't provide any info, and I was kicked up a level from the first rep. Saw in another thread that there's already a 7.2.3 update, but mine hasn't updated yet. Hopefully that will help. I have noticed that since 7.2.2 my speakers haven't done the random loud pop.

[Q] weather not updating

Hi,
I have a brandnew gear and S4on 4.3, both on stock and will all updates performed.
-weather widget on touchwiz homescreen, set on hourly update
-wifi and bluetooth tether on
-lockscreen set to automatic
I read all the posts about this problem and performed al possible solutions like restarting, force close all weather apps, providers and widgets etc etc but it will still only update when I turn the phone on.
Any thoughts?

Try going to gear manager, open my apps, then select apps, click settings on weather, and set auto refresh for 1 hour

Under the phones location services, are you using wifi, gps, both, or is it off?
Do you have any google services frozen, or hibernated at all?

Gps, wifi, bluetooth, bluetooth thethering, automatic lock with gear, widget on homescreen, set two locations and let hem scroll every 30s. Update is set on every hour.
Also did gear, weather provider, weather provider, weather widget and touchwiz reset,
And still the widget is not updating on the phone or watch automaticly.
I couldnt care less about the weather function but I hate it when I cant get something to work.

You do have the stock weather widget on one of the home screens of the phone right? I know with my Note 2 it will not update the widget on the Gear unless I also have the stock weather widget on the phone (I just put it on a screen I dont use)

Ok, nothing worked to get the weather updating on the gear. I tried all possible solutions, even reset phone and gear.
Yesterday i installed the ripped from S5 gear manager(see other topic)....and the weather is now updating like a charm.
And the funny thing is..it works with touchwiz and even with apex launcher...
Edit: sadly it already stopped updating the next morning.

I think I'm having the same problem. I updated my rom on March 9th, and I was initially happy because on my previous rom, I didn't have weather at all. I noticed after three days that the weather wasn't updating at all. It constantly said 27°C and sunny.
I know it is still receiving some information from the phone because when i changed the widget on the phone to display in farenhieght, the unit updated on the watch. Unfortunately, the weather information hasn't updated since March 9th. This is especially odd considering I updated to Null 23 this morning. It must have gotten the weather information from the phone after the new install from a complete wipe, but it only got old information.
The weather is updating just fine on my note 2. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I just tried the weather command on S-Voice, and it showed an updated weather list, but when I use the weather widget on the watch, it still shows the weather that hasn't been updated since March 9th.

I had same problem too. I tried almost everything, but no go. Weather does not update. So i think to try kind of extreme. I earlier used on my note 2 this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584533 and there is flashable file called One Stop Shop V5. I don't use that rom any more but i think thats worth to try. I flashed that file, and surprise. Now the weather updates as it should. So this worked on my international Note 2 and it might not work on other models.

Widgets Freezing/Not Updating 5.1

Is anybody else having issues with homescreen widgets not refreshing or just freezing? I am on 5.1 stock rooted that is decrypted. widgets such as battery widget reborn, espn, and clock widgets all tend to stop working after adding them to the home screen... i either need to reboot or re-add them to get them working again but they just eventually stop again. Is this a known issue with lollipop? Thanks

No all my widgets are running fine I am still encrypted currently running on the leankernel. I would wipe both my caches in TWRP. Then after the phone rebuilds see if you have the same problem.

I have same issue. I'm on 5.1 HD widgets and yr widget won't update after I add them to home screen. I'm rooted, encrypted and using Nova Launcher.

still no luck here. I did wipe both davlik cache and cache. widgets were working again for an hour but once again they have frozen. both espn and battery widget reborn. my widget for chronos clock is still working for time but the dash extensions on it have stopped working (like the battery widget reborn extention). I cannot figure out what is going on with these widgets.

You guys should list out all your widgets being used. I found another instance of this and it was one bad widget causing the whole problem.
