The Script Has Been Updated NOT TO Remove The Hidden Menus.
If You've Used My Bloatware Remover, And Needed The Hidden Menus,
I'm Sorry For The Problems. I Just Made A New Post About Re-Adding Them.[/B]

I Wrote This Little Script To Automate The De-Crapifying Of The
LG Motion I Just Bought. Thanks To The DEVS Who Gave Us Root,
Because This Wouldn't Be Possible Without Them.

Used This On My Phone, And Restarted To Make Sure No Problems With
Booting BEFORE I Uploaded This.

(This Guide Assumes You Are ROOTED, And Have Downloaded
And Unzipped The Provided Zip File)

1) Enable Usb Debugging, And Make Sure You Have The Correct Drivers Installed

2) Download ES File Explorer From The Market,
Or Use The APK File Provided In This ZIP.

3A) Open ES File Explorer
B) Go To Settings, And Scroll Down
C) Click On Root Settings
D) Make Sure That 2 Options "Root Explorer, And Mount File System" Are Checked
E) Press The Home Button

4) Run "remove bloat.bat"
5) Enjoy
6) Reboot

**I Would Recommend Going Back Into ES File Explorer,
And Unchecking The Boxes From Step 3D**

i would try downloading the file again. sorry if i didn't do the
quote thingy right, getting used to the forums. lol

just re-added all the bloatware back to my phone, so that i could
try the file uploaded. everything worked perfect. from the picture
uploaded, it looks like adb didn't start right.

After reading the post by @hristopelov regarding all the bloatware that can be
frozen / deleted, i'll be removing each of them one at a time on my phone, to
make sure each one can be fully deleted, as opposed to just frozen. Then i'll
update my thing with a new one that removes all the bloatware :).

(i currently froze everything listed in "hristopelov"s thread, and the phone has
had no problems yet.)

Could you put up a link to what actually was removed? Will this work fine with the first update on the Motion 4G that added 3 new apps?

Yeah, i can do that today :). Ill also upload one with all the hidden menus intact, for the people who would like them

How's everyone been? Hope your holiday seasons are going well.
