I'm looking through the listed apps in the debloater app linked to in another thread here. I have a long list of apps already debloated. Have had those disabled/hidden by the debloater for quite a while.
There are a handful of APKs that I wonder about being safe to debloat. They aren't on the two lists on XDA I combined to one previously, but I suspect that may be because they are often used by folks.
I hate Bluetooth as a technology. I don't use it and can't see myself changing my mind. So is it safe to disable:
LGBluetooth4.apk
LGBluetoothSetting.apk
Similarly, I have never used NFC in all the years I've had it, going back to my BlackBerrys. Can I debloat:
LGNfc.apk
LGNfcSettings.apk
I don't have a smartcover case. If I ever got one I could just unbloat the apk, I figure. So, is it safe to debloat:
LGCover.apk
Also, what is WiseScreen.apk (package is com.lge.keepscreenon). Sounds like it *could* be something else I don't use. [EDIT] I found this apk on an updated version of UncleBob'sWorldFamousDebloatList at XDA. So it's now disabled/hidden.
I am able to force stop some of these without any seeming issues (some auto-start...and that's why I'd like to fully disable and hide them).
If nobody has specific experiences, I won't mess with these, but I think disabling them if I safely can might add more juice. Appreciate any info you guys may have accumulated.
