@nickh Was able to purge the LG Home without any consequences after a reboot. Second screen works without a hitch.

@nickh I figured the second screen is it's own app using App Inspector to check app names, paths, etc.

@nickh I have a couple of bluetooth speakers, and going to get the Rowkin Bluetooth headphones as it's easier at work otherwise I get tangled up like crazy at times. lol But yeah the IR blaster is awesome when I forget to grab the tv remote. Or if I want to shut the tv off on the gamer here. lmao

@nickh Stripped out the stock music app, and the stupid LG music widget. Obviously keeping the necessary apps.

@nickh Yep, got the V20 had bought it outright a couple of years back. Figured I'd use it til the proverbial wheels fell off. I was asked why keep it if you get the new device. And I said I always re-purpose old devices. So it might be just a music player for the truck at work.

@nickh decided to keep the LG launcher, don't want to risk f'n with the 2nd screen.

@nickh yep, stripped ou the stock email, calendar, the asurion security (since I use sophos), dropped Audible as well. Debating on the LG launcher, but not until I find another lightweight backup.

@nickh Wound up using this xda-developers.com/uninstall-c to strip out some of the bloat so far after rebooting Messages+, imdb, nfl, slacker radio are gone.... Next up Audible and LG Health. I know I walk enough I don't need them to monitor it for me. lmao

@nickh Not a problem, my top favorite online radio. I want to get some merch but damn the prices. lmao I just may splurge sometime for a coffee mug or a hoodie.

@nickh See now if they made somafm.com/ as the main music app I'd be happy. Gotta have my Metal Detector channel. :)

@nickh and at times a a nightmare Slacker Radio was another could only disable. Why I'm doing most stuff from a browser now.

@nickh I'll be poking around. I disabled Audible, you'd think as a Prime member other Amazon services would be free. 😂😂Uninstalled Amazon Music. Disabled Google Music. Ever since I got it NFL, IMDB, etc have always been disabled.

@nickh well the phone is beyond past warranty. And LG made it a bitch to root it not to mention find a unlocked boot loader for it.

@nickh wouldn't be the first time I've messed with adb

Until I get stuff sorted with a Raspberry Pi I'm gonna start moving my stuff from Google Drive over to Mega.

is officially disabled. Since I'm not rooted I can't go in and remove it.

As of today I'm starting to use Google Pay less and less and currently removing my cards be it debit or rewards cards, etc from it. And purging the app from my phone. I will however get some NFC tags next week and see what else I can do with it. Never know. 😉
