Debloating the stock system

The reason you won't find details like how to remove an app is because in the root forum, a certain level of familiarity is assumed. How to uninstall a system app is considered to be general knowledge, and if someone has to ask it lets us know you are very inexperienced or a complete novice. No disrespect intended, we all were completely clueless once, but it tells us you may need a little hand holding or extra explanation. In the mean time, it prevents you from driving your phone off a cliff.

Everything in the lists above can be safely uninstalled without bricking your phone. Some of the stuff in the second list will disable some functionality, like removing the LGATCMD app will disable PRL/Profile updating, which isn't a concern for you since you aren't going to activate it (it may have other negative effects that have not been noticed yet though). However, if you were to uninstall the NFC Service app, you will lose all ability to use NFC functions due to losing access to the hardware. The phone will still work, it just won't be able to do that anymore. Conversely, the DLNA app can be removed because it is just a protocol and can be replaced with a different app.

I add notes as issues arise so people know what to expect when they drop a given app.

Just be careful when removing apps. Make sure you know what it does, and if you aren't sure, either leave it alone, just freeze it, or make a backup of it before uninstalling.

Many of these app are tied into other apps or functions and suddenly removing them can make the phone freak out. Go slow, and if something starts acting weird, reboot and see if it stops, otherwise you might have to wipe the system cache and/or dalvik-cache, or do a factory reset.
