Stock android 2.3.4 apps
This is all the stock android apps + a few extra.
They are all separated in the folder so you can feel free to look though them.
I still need someone to send me all of the stock metro apps from the esteem so i can make a restore / unroot script.
You can use root explorer or adb push to put them back in the system/apps folder.

THANK YOU for doing this! I am looking forward to being able to restore the Metro apps - I've been unsuccessful at getting them to work after downloading from Metro .

Just a damn shame we don't have a stock ROM from LG and something similar to Samsung's Odin that we could use to flash it back to 100% stock.
 
I think my girlfriend's esteem still has all of the stock metro apps. I will check her phone when I go home for lunch and see if she has them. If so I will copy the apks and get them to you. I go to lunch in two hours and would be back an hour after that.
 
Thanks bro, now other shouldnt have any problems if they need to return their phone to out of box state...;)
 
Does anyone have all the Metropcs bloatware apks to share, I rooted my phone & erased them all? I think I was sold a defective phone by an authorized dealer & I have to return the phone to a corporate store, can anybody help?

The apps are most likely on the phone but not showing up in your app tray... More than likely going to need to do a factory reset for everything to show up again.

[EDIT] I just tried it - worked like a charm!

THANK YOU for NOT including the Xtras app!!!!

I hate the Xtras app too -- and by no means am I saying to keep it, I'm saying the opposite -- BUT before root became available we found a way to turn it off. You just go into the app settings and check mark the disable notifications. It's turned on by default, but there's a check box to TURN OFF the Xtras notifications.

Now that we have root we can remove it completely, but for people who don't want to root (for whatever reason), they do not have to be held hostage by this annoying app. Just turn off the notifications in the app settings.
 
Is there a way to get a the stock google apps (GAPPS- weather, calendar etc., launcher) to work on this phone? I want to use a different launcher and if I do, I have no calendar, weather, or news app since I can't use LG"s... or is there a way to still use LG's apps on another launcher??
