Just don't delete system apps, it will send your phone into security mode.

So they're protecting their bloat now, huh? Oh well. The phone has enough resources that it really doesn't matter all that much. Thanks for the warning!

I use any app called root app it lets you uninstall stuff. It puts in in a recycling bin so you can pull it back out if you want too. I think it might just be freezing the apps but want ever it does I no these apps stop running with is what I want NO sprint apps on my phone this way.

Security mode... wow these are mid-range phones, that haven't really sold well, compared to sprints other phones and they felt to include a security mode. Wtf?!?!?

LG must be paranoid about something. And with the release of the Optimus G and Mach looming, it probably made them overly protective of their phones this time.

Tried it many time... but haven't got a root... and any another PC programs (unlock root and other) show "device is already root"... but I cann't delete system apps from autoloading with autostarts v.1.7.5. SU don't update too.
What do me with it?
