I am not positive but I don't think they will show up unless they have been updated through the play store. Once they have been updated on your device, they should be there.

I have had this device since it came out and all the bloatware would show up in the my apps just would show update or disabled if i disabled them. Doesn't even show that.

My Apps is a record of what you have installed before, not what you have installed currently on the device viewing it.
Therefore, if someone were to say, nuke the bloatware from the list (had it ever been installed from the play store), then it would have to be reinstalled manually to make it back on the list.
Auto-updates when getting a new device don't count for the My Apps list I do not think unless new permissions are required, which requires end user interference to install it.

Thats odd. When I first got the phone and never had installed any of the bloatware before they showed up on the list. Thanks

Mine did too, but I have had previous Verizon phones which I assume I had manually updated before the days of debloating. I've since cleared them out and they are still not there the last time I looked.

Are we talking about the play store app list or the one on the phone?
If we are talking about the one on the phone this entire time, then this is all easily explained. When you disable an app, it uninstalls any updates you may have applied beforehand.

Not showing all my Apps in the New Android Market

Trying to see if this is just me or other people experiencing the same issue. Android Market updated last wk and now only the apps that I have purchased are showing up under my apps. Under the help section they say this is a known problem. There are certain times when I go into the market and click on my apps and everything shows up but thats like 1/10 times. Anyone experiencing the same issue?
BTW I'm running CM7 nightly on build 08052011

Thanks for the input but I've never heard of "batch relink". Can you describe it more in depth? To clarify all my apps are still on my phone. If I search for the app by name it shows as being installed on my phone, just not under MY Apps.
Saw something called Market Doctor in Ti Backup that sounds like what you are talking about but after that ran it said it restore link for 6 of my apps but still same result only paid apps showing under My Apps.

sorry its called "attach to the market"
try it with a single app if you want, find one thats not linked currently. open titanium go to backup/restore tab & long press on the app you want. you should have an option to attach to market.
let us know if that helps
but yea market doctor might be what does them batch style.. i dunno if a reboot might help after applying
When I long press anyone of the apps that isn't showing up there is a bunch of opts but i don't see attach only one I get is detach from market. Which makes me believe it is linked correctly. Tried rebooting, same issue. Maybe this is a issue on their end since some times all my apps does show up. Just weird if no one else is experiencing this.
In TB, if you hit menu, more you should see the market doctor. If that doesn't work, delete the data for the market. I had to do that to fix mine.

Went to Ti Backup selected Market. Wiped data. Ran the Market. It asked for me to accept to the terms which I did. Same result only paid apps are showing up in My Apps.

This has been a problem with the Market for a while for me. You should be able to see all your apps, paid and free, on the Market website (https://market.android.com). I've never done a "market repair" before.
My issue is that certain apps are just plain no longer showing in the market. such as Better keyboard 8. I love this keyboard, bought the pro version and have a couple of favorite skins for it. now it dont show up in the market.
I was finally able to resolve my issue, here is what I did. Using Ti Backup I selected the Market and restored a older version. The version i had backed up was 2.x I havent done a back up in a while. After the Market was restored to the older version I ran the app. It ask me to accept the term, after i click ok the app forced closed and it automatically downloaded a update. After a few mins I clicked on the Market again and it once again ask me to accept to the term but this time it was the new Market. All my apps are in the My App section. Thanks for everyone for their advise and input. With out the ideas that was tossed out there I wouldnt know where to start or what to try.
Update:
Same thing again only purchased apps are showing in My Apps. I can do the same thing over again and all my apps will show up but this seems to be a temporary fix. Any other suggestions?

[Q] Facebook updating OUTSIDE of the Play Store?

I run Version 27 of the Facebook app. Since I got my Note 4 last week, Facebook has been updating daily and sometimes more often than once, OUTSIDE of the Play Store.
I have all auto-updates turned off, no unknown sources allowed. This seems to happen only on the pre-installed version. This never, ever happened on my S5.
Is anyone else with any carrier having this issue?

Sorry, I did a quick skim, didn't notice the "no questions here" someone can feel free to move this.
You can't uninstall it, they made it "bloatware". Clearing cache etc doesn't work. This happens daily.

No, Facebook and Instagram were pre-loaded like bloatware. Disable is all you can do. I use the app, just don't want anything above v27.

I think you are correct about those two files, because I saw those show up.
I had some crazy issues with my phone two days ago and Best Buy had to replace it. I came home, didn't log into my Google or Samsung account. While it was downloading Lollipop, my Facebook app updated. Again, outside of the Play Store and this phone had never been logged into the Play Store, I also had not logged into my Facebook app or sideload my Facebook apk.
I saw those two files listed as "downloaded" in the App Manager. I was able to uninstall updates and disable them. Then I did uninstalled updates on the Facebook app and sideload version 27. I saw those two files in downloaded apps before when I did a reset when my original phone when nuts.
Since I disabled those and they don't show up in the "turned off" apps or show up anywhere now, my Facebook hasn't updated again. I was looking today to see if I could find those two files and where I had them disabled. But, again, the only time I have seen them is when I haven't installed my app and the app has just updated by itself. I hope that has stopped it for me. I think if someone isn't rooted, the only way to deal with those two files is how I did the other night.
lol man thanks i know about them but i forgot to disable them

Yeah I could only disable with the first update. I don't even know if going and uninstalling updates to Facebook, will let you do this or if you can only catch them with the first update after a reset or out of the box. All that based on a non-rooted device.
Still no updates for me since I was able to do that the other night and it was updating several times a day. Every time I rolled it back, it would update again not much long after.

LG V20 T-Mobile Bloatware Removal

Anyone else having issues disabling the pre-installed T-Mobile apps? The disable button is greyed out when I go into "app manager" then when I connect to the DeBloatware program it tells me my device is Blocked. No applications actually show up on the app list either in DeBloatware (besides one - T-mobile auto start program). I unlocked my bootloader thinking it may help but it did nothing for this venture. Coming from the N6P I'm really not liking the fact that I just paid as much as I did for a phone that has T-mobile all over it... Even the start up screen pisses me off.

You went into the "app manager" to do so correct? I don't get why it's greyed out for me... I have never had the problems I'm having with this phone on any other Android device when it comes to disabling or uninstalling carrier apps...

Even though the process might be different from different launchers wouldn't the result be the same? I'm using the Google Now launcher & would think that it would allow me to disable the T-mobile app regardless of launcher app... or am I completely wrong?
If you can't disable the app, kill its permissions. It does pretty much the same thing. That's how I got T-Mobile apps to stop using the battery.

I was wrong, the Tmobile app is the only one I couldn't get off the phone.
I know with Samsung I could use package disabler pro and was able to end the process and get it frozen
What I did is diable all permissions, revoke background data from the app, cleared cached and uninstalled all updates. Then don't open that app again and turn off autp update in the play store

Copy that... I want to be able to just disable the bloat like I should be able to, considering Android is open source & should be able to be customized. I purposely don't buy Applesauce phones because I like being able to tweak everything to my liking... What happened to the Android I fell in love with???
Has anybody on the T-Mobile LG V20 tried connecting their device to the DeBloater program? I'm curious if anyone else is getting the "Your device does not allow blocking" notification when connecting your phone...
Follwing.

Package Disabler for LGMobile is available in play store
Have you tried SD Maid Pro yet? I used that on my Sprint variant and was able to disable anything I wanted. Be advised, some of the apps are integrated into other apps within framework and could cause issues with apps you want to use still.

Apps still updated after disabling automatic updates

I disabled automatic updates in playstore settings but for some reason apps are still auto-updating. Its getting to be pretty annoying too because every time I remove a bloatware app it just downloads and reinstalls it.
How do I stop this??

Try clearing Play Store data/cache (settings->apps) followed by a reboot. You will need to update/reapply personal settings, including the master toggle for automatic updates.

Most of them are in the oem partition anyways. So remove them from there. But do it in twrp file manager, because trying to edit oem while booted will lock up the device.

Clearing the play store cache did worked for a few of the apps but the ones in the OEM I effectively deleted in twrp. Turns out the OEM partition on this phone is largely useless bloat and not much else.

Also before deleting from oem, first just try renaming them (with a ~ at the end for example) to make sure it's safe to remove. Then boot up and check, if all is good then you delete if you want. Many people delete things, then come back here asking if anyone has a copy because they deleted something they needed.
Just to be safe.

Yea this ain't my first rodeo. I've bricked far too many devices to make that mistake again. I only did away with the crap I was 100% certain was just that, crap, ie boost zone, amazon, facebook, etc. Though I'm still trying to figure out what it was I removed that rendered system webview permanently frozen, but I made a separate thread regarding that.

Question about an app that keeps closing?

I have a 6t tmobile version that I updated to the international version and I have an app that won't load. When I click on it I acts like is going to open and then closes instantly. Is supper quick that you don't really see it. Help. The app is the YouVersion bible app. The thing is that the app was working fine before the update to international version. And the only older versions work.
Every time I update I have a few apps that do this. I have to open the play store and let Android system WebView update to cure this problem. Have you checked for updates yet?

Oh, I get it. Did you disable it? That is very weird. That was needed and it being outdated was the exact cause of my problems when I had similar issues that you describe.
I remove many things from OOS, but I've noticed there a few things I have to make sure are up and running before I remove otherwise I have issues.
What I would do is try and re-enable that and update it. See if that fixes it. If it does great. Try and disable it again after that if you want. However I think you may need it. Otherwise if you are rooted, back up that app with TitaniumBackup, and probably it's data in Android / Data folders and try a fresh install (This should be a last resort)? <-- That is unless it's an app that doesn't really have data that matters. If it's something that can be freshly installed without worry go ahead.

I figure out how to enable it, but it did not help. The app keeps opening and closing instantly
try this
force stop the app, its probably running in the background
wipe the cache and data in the app(settings/apps and notifications/
then un install the app
now reboot, and let the phone settle in a minute
go to app store and try to download/ install again
thats what I would try.

I did that however it does the same thing am just going to wait for an update.
email the developer and let him know about your issue..
Thanks for all the help. I finally got it to work. What I ended up doing was reseting the phone. I guess the last time when I used the oneplus backup app it cause a problem. Or a least that is what I think. I used the Google backup instead.
I found the answer
Hi i hope it can help for myself i finally got the ultimate tricks to prevent any background app to be killed especially the bible using text to speech output you only need to move your app to system ?
