De-Bloat your XT860

Even though we don't have much in the way of Custom ROMS for our beloved XT860 at this point, you can get rid of much of the bloatware and speed up your device quite a bit.
I must give credit to lifeinanalog and his original post on Android Forums regarding bloatware on the Bell XT860.
I am in no way responsible for anything that you do to your phone. While this has worked great for me, it may not work out the same way for you.
You will need root access: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240130
And will need Titanium Backup Pro installed: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro&hl=en
Using Titanium Backup Pro, I have frozen the following Apps. Once you reboot your device, they will no longer appear in your app drawer. You can always bring them back by 'un-freezing' them:
Cardock
Citrix receiver
Connected music player (I use an alternate music player)
Desk Home
DLNA
Facebook Authenticator
Flickr Authenticator
Global Unplug
GPS Navigator
Help Center
Kobo
Media Share
Moto Print
Motorola Dock Service
Myspace Authenticator
News
News & Weather
Orkut Authenticator
Phone Portal
Photobucket Authenticator
Picasa Authenticator

Zoom Mode
Zoompass
DO NOT FREEZE
Corporate Mail Authenticator
Yahoo Contacts
Yahoo Mail Authenticator
This is known to cause problems with your contacts.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. If you've frozen something that has caused problems please mention it here. Likewise, if you have frozen other apps not listed above, feel free to share with the rest of us.
Lastly, if this post helped you, feel free to hit the 'Thanks' button.

Honestly I just used Pete's debloat script. Worked fine for me

There are some apps in your list I hesitate to uninstall, I don't really know what they do.
Did you froze them and nothing significant happen or some are only a feature you don't need?
Phone Portal
Suggestions
Suggestions Core Rule Checker services
Suggestions Poll Schedule Service

Zoom Mode

I didn't remove any of the apps that I listed - only froze them.
Have had no problems from freezing any of the apps in the OP.
The 'phone portal' does not affect your ability to make calls. From what I have read it is just another way to connect to the device through your computer. See this post here for more detailed information about it: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/28340
I am not sure what the suggestions apps do, but freezing them hasn't caused any problems.
Zoompass is a mobile payment service and I am assuming zoom mode is related to it. Again no problems from freezing it.

Thanks, didn't realize that the script could also be used on the XT860, thought it was designed for the Verizon D3 only.
Does the script freeze or remove the apps?
I'm hesitant to remove anything because of the lack of an .sbf for the XT860.

You can flash the me863 rom

It did throw up some kind of error when I ran it but it did work

I tried doing a manual debloat a while back but didn't really see much performance change. That's why I made those changes to the build.prop files (I posted it under general). My phone is pretty fast, but the battery still really sucks. I think we are all impatiently waiting the XT860 update together!

I manually removed about 50MB of apk's in system/app folder of the 5.7.894 ROM. I did not remove Yahoo and Corporate.
I can't sync the FaceBook and/or Twitter avatars with my address book. Did I remove too many?

Just install/reinstall facebook from market, I've had similar problems with FB a few times and that's always fixed it.

That didn't work unfortunately. I did not get the question what I'd like to sync; none, all contacts, or existing contacts.

You need to keep the blur facebook authenticator if you want to sync facebook with your contacts
About de-bloating:
When I uninstall the blur activesync autenticator I get force-close when I select a contact in the contacts menu.

I can confirm that I do not have the ability to sync Facebook contacts after removing the authenticator (I never synced them to begin with)
I am not have any force close issues with my contacts...

[Q] BT Trusted Device not activating

Does anyone know what system app might control the phones ability to use the trusted devices? I've disabled a few of the motorola things (moto care, device manager and a few others) and my truck's BT is not activating the trusted device unlock. I don't know if it stopped working before/after I disabled the things I did.
I reinabled com.motorola.authentication and device manager (motorola's) but that did not seem to 'fix' it. I know at one time It did work. I tried re-pairing it this morning, but that didn't seem to help either.
Here's the full list of disabled apps/processes I have.
Backup Assistant Plus
Backup Assistant+ Contacts Client
Caller Name ID
Demo mode
Moto Care
MotoCare
MotoCareInt
Motorola Checkin
Motorola Migrate
My Verizon Mobile
Rescue Add-On: Motorola
Verizon Tones
Voicemail.
I reenabled:
com.motorola.authenticator
device manager.
TIA for any help!

Do you have Exchange email? The policies applied from that can disable it. I'm guessing it would be part of the core Android system since it is (probably) supported by default in Android, not something that Motorola added.

I do (and have had) exchange setup since the phone was first setup. But I use EE (enhanced email not the stock email client) and bypass the exchange policy stuff. So, I don't believe that would be it. I saw it working with exchange on the phone.
Thank you for the idea though!

I am on a Dev edition, unlocked and rooted. I do have TiBu and DO have a trusted devices listed, but not frozen. I hadn't even noticed that it was in there <sigh>. But being that its not frozen, I would like to think it should work. Thank you for pointing this out.
I'll mess with it a bit tonight in the garage and see what happens.

OK, so I got the trusted devices activated. What I did was force stop the trusted devices. I cleared the cache and data. Deleted the BT pair on both my phone and truck.
Rebooted, paired them back up and activated trusted devices.
It connected and activated after keying in my pattern.
Hopefully it sticks this time!

I believe my last is right before I installed xposed. which was before I froze the apps I did. After this works as is for a few days, I will re-freeze device manager (motorola's) and com.motorola.authentication (the two I unfroze in an attempt to fix it) and see if that does anything.

LG Package Disabler

The app is no longer available in the playstore. What is everyone using to uninstall bloat now?

That is very bad news. Why would Google do this ? And the BK Samsung debloat app is still up ?
This LG Package Disabler is a must have for this phone.

umm, can google remove apps just like that...
Last i recall, i paid for that app... and now it just vanish?
No mention of it removing purchase, now I cannot even find it in purchase history, so did they just remove the app along with purchase history and no refund??

You can still remove apps via adb. There have been a couple other posts on regarding how to and a quick search should reveal them.

Wow. I just jumped from Windows mobile to Android. I got the insurance company assurion to replace my 950 with a V30 (for the price of my $150 deductible). I had downloaded the package disabler app and it works great. One thing I miss about windows mobile is the ability to delete any bloatware you want and move entire apps to the sd card - not just the ancillary portions of an app.

I still have the app installed and found a contact email address in the app. I sent an email asking what happened. If I get a reply, I'll share the info.

Any update from the developer on still being able to get the app?

Damn, I was JUST about to jump on this bandwagon and give that app a shot, and now it's been pulled. Argh! Thank Odin I'm no stranger to ADB. Command Line, here we come!

How do you use the ADB & command line to manually do this process?

I paid for the app and now it has been removed from the store. I guess i will just have to get the APK elsewhere...

You can't post warez links for paid apps.
6. Do not post or request warez.

BE AWARE: Malware probably lurks in such pirated apps, so no one should download them before a mod removes the links.

If this was intended for me, then no. The devs have not responded to my email.
They have some version of Package Disabler available for purchase on their website (which is linked to in the LG Package Disabler "About" option). I'm just not willing to try the purchase right now. It seems kind of suspicious to me. The website seems to have some malfunctions (possibly because they're still linked to their Play pages which have now been removed.)

Oh guys, be careful when disabling apps. I had huge lag after disabling some of it using adb. No lag after apps are enabled again.

This is exactly what I want to know too. I'm wondering why it was even removed from the Play Store all together. I need it lol

Play on words
"so no one should download them before a mod removes the links."
So its only ok to use them after the mod removes the link...
/sarcasm

I used BK Package Disabler from the play store. Works better than LG Package Disabler, as it does not require you to install apk. Just a ADB command line from a computer to setup.
Just saying, I currently have not disable anything. The phone runs so much better without disabling stuff... Consider that I use VPN, chromecast and Google home, disabling stuff always seems to mess something up.

Agreed. I haven't disabled anything and I use AdGuard VPN to block ads. Phone run very smoothly and very fast. I'm a big proponent of rooting (and I will root this phone), but I'm very wary of messing something up -- unintentionally causing lag because something is missing.

It is really strange that we have horrible lag after disabling some apps. Same thing on G6 and V30. After debloating Galaxy device, it's much easier to breathe for me and my phone. Here one the LG phone it is opposite.

Hmm guys.. 'Disable HW Overlays' option under developer options fixed all that horrible lag issues with my LG G6 and V30. Now it is smooth like Pixel phone when scrolling through web pages and apps like Instagram, Facebook etc.
This isn't permanent fix unfortunately. What should we do? Why is this happening? This option solve all stutter/lag/touchLatency problems with my LG devices. What can we do? LG won't fix this. I had the same problems in the era of the LG G2 and G3

Disabled and Data-Blocked Apps still sending data in the background

Edit: I posted this question two days ago in the general Q & A section of XDA, got no response. Since it is happening on my E4 plus, I am posting it here, hoping to get some insights.
Long story short, I installed Net Monitor (from Play store) to check data usage on my Moto E4 Plus (Verizon), though the question below is probably not limited to this particular device.
I was surprised to see some of the apps that were sending data somewhere even when they are disabled. For example,
1, Gboard (by Google), this app has been disabled in Settings since the beginning. Why is it still sending data? Worst nightmare is an app collecting keyboard entry log and upload it to where??? Why???
2, Some Apps, such as below, I have disabled their background data usage, but they still show up in Net Monitor.
Astro File Manager (an old version that I love to use),
ML Manager,
Photos (by Google)
Youtube
I am sure I did not use these apps during the time that Net Monitor was running as I was testing the whole concept of Net Monitor.
[Edit: I can confirm that these apps show up without me running them in forefront.]
I can understand some communication apps such as Gmail that uses data because I did not block their background data usage.
Some of the apps in the screenshot are presumably system apps though I am a bit suspicious. Knowing recent cases with One Plus and Blu, and Elliot Anderson:
https://www.androidpit.com/elliot-fs...rson-interview
I just wish some experts can help explain or provide some insights, thank you in advance,
BTW, can someone recommend clean Open Source apps that do not abuse permissions and do not send data secretly behind the users? I got a few, but need more. My app sources:
https://www.secuso.informatik.tu-dar...friendly-apps/
https://simplemobiletools.github.io/
https://guardianproject.info/apps/

Disabling apps does't really do much but keep them from updating. I suggest that you use the Amazon Fire trick, I use this for every Android device that I don't root.
- To restore apps you simply factory reset.
- This doesn't uninstall apps, but blocks the app so they don't run.
-- Connect Device
Enable USB debugging in developers options
Code:
adb shell

Alternatively, you can search for packages by name

Debloating

Of course some system apps will still boot after disabling them, but my guess is that hopefully those apps use less ram and battery now?!

Thanks for this. I forgot that this app even existed. It's been a while...:highfive:

Lotsa room on the phone already, more so with stuff that can be plainly uninstalled. The rest 'disabled' to preserve system for factory updates. With SD up to 2tb, bloat not quite so much a nuisance as it was years ago.
Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

So thanks but what's the point if we cannot remove by rooting?

Agreed! Not so important to debloat with more and more storage and ram these days.
It's totally up to one and each. ME, I will always debloat if possible. Privacy and battery life is reasons good enough for me. And with a phone this good, rooting is not as important as it was once, especially when there's good tools/methods to disable unwanted stuff. But I'm a rootoholic, so if it happens, I will definitely do it. Until then, I'm happy with what I've got.

Unlocked bootloader and Magisk FTW!

I'm on Sprint!
But be aware, I'm not sure how exactly this app works? For sure the system apps that you can't disable normally, will be disabled with this app, but some of them are still booting. Hopefully not so "heavy" on the ram and the battery after disabled? Haven't compared yet. Might be a good thing though, not to cut off any dependencies...

Viper4Android is a neat audio customization app. It requires root to install, which we will not have available until LG provides phone unlocking (hopefully soon!)

Do you have a link to the Package Disabler Pro you installed? Both of the ones I can find on the Play Store say they are incompatible with my devices.

Do you know how to get into DIag mode for this model ?

It should be noted that the WiFi Calling app also handles VoLTE on Sprint devices. That should be considered before disabling it as bloatware. It's essential functionality to the phone, if you want to have that ability. Personally, I would not consider WiFi Calling to be bloatware in the first place. But it's even more essential in this case.

Confirmed it worked on my Sprint variant.
.I noticed the V40 Dev mode has "OEM Unlock" an option to turn on or off but that's probably isn't going to do any good without fastboot huh ?

Diag Mode codes are carrier specific. If you have a Sprint variant like OP, your code would be ##3424#. The Sprint hidden menu code is 5689#*405#, for this model.
