1. not possible in stock but yu can use 3rd party apps lyk chomp sms by customizing the colors and its fast too
2. YES rooted and bootloader must be unlocked(safer side) to use Xposed modules in ur ROM to do those changes
3.Changing application Icons in the sense..?? this question is not proper..!!

Two questions about LGG3

Hi, I am considering a Verizon or AT&T LGG3 when they become available.
I had two questions about the LGG3 functionality:
Does the LGG3 have the capability to select which on-screen navigation buttons appear at the bottom (Menu, Home, Back, Task Switcher), and the order of those buttons? The LGG2 had this feature.
With the Circle Cover on, what features are available through the circle if I always lock my phone (currently with a pattern lock)?
Thanks,
¿GJ?
check the user manual
Hi, The Sprint G3 Usre manual is available for download!
I guess you can get the answers from that manual, Just google "LG LS990 User manual". I should not post the link here.
From what I have seen in many reviews, youtube videos and so on...
1. It is exactly similar to G2. There are options for different layouts, though I don't think it allows users to change the order freely.
2. As seen on video reviews of quick circle case, apart from different clock widgets and weather data, there are plenty of options to show and/or use with it, you can answer or place a call, listen to music, health app, even camera and the gallery app. As you may guess, they are select stock LG apps that can be used in circle view. Believe 3rd party app support will come soon as LG has released the relevant SDK for developers already.

Hi, iLHaNroID - Do you know if all (or, any) of these would be available when the phone is password/pattern locked? I always have my phone protected by some method. If some of these features are disabled when the phone is locked, it would reduce the rationale for purchasing the circle case (for me).

I have preordered mine from my carrier (Three/Swe) and unfortunately it hasn't arrived yet (ETA w26/27) so unfortunately I can't answer this specific question. The quick circle case was one of the reasons underlying my decision. I hv waited to see what LG would bring onto the desk before jumping any of the htc, sony and samsung bandwagons. Other points that played role in that are qhd display, back buttons, customizable navigation buttons, clear and loud sound, wireless charging, removable battery etc (no need to count others imo). The only samsung made device attracting me is the Note series, but they are extremely big in hand and s-pen is not something I would want to use and take benefits in daily usage, it can be considerable with tablets though. So believe I won't regret my purchase, otherwise I can consider about trading it with Note 4 if I think it worths then.

[Q] Can you change the colour of the Notification LED?

Hey all,
I know that in contacts you can set the notification LED's colour to be a certain colour for a certain contact, but I was wondering, is it possible to use an app or something or manually set it for each function?
Like when I get a message if it could be say purple and when facebook notifications come through could it be blue, when I get a call it could be green, etc.
Unless the G3 already has this feature built in (In which case I'm missing it) does anyone know of a way to do this? I had an old LG phone and I was able to do it with that but I'm not sure if you can on this one. Can you without rooting or is there a way to with root?
Thanks in advance guys!

Try out Light Flow. The link I provided is for the free version. If it works out for you you can upgrade to the paid version which will give many you more options.
Light manager works and does not require root
Cheers guys
Light flow doesn't require root to function well...

Larger Contact Picture for Phone Calls?

Did a search and apparently this was an issue on LG G3 as well:
After updating to lollipop and the new LG UI - I hate how the contact picture is now a small circle when you place or receive calls. Anyone know of a way to get it back to the bigger contact picture like it was on the older LG UI?
For the G3, it looked to be a feature within G3 Tweaksbox, but I don't believe that has been updated for Xposed Lollipop (or whether it will work for G2).
Thanks in advance!

Just updated this morning to it. That was the first thing I noticed. There is many things I'm not liking about the update too. Color themes ugly, icons not Contact adjustable much, The Weather Animation is gone as well. Overall looking it seems to be a step back in the users basic functions.
EDIT: Hold the new Round Contact icon down. So you can Edit it. Then click the + add new. You can re-size it and make it square again with any image you like.

[Q] Disable LG emoji and quick settings?

I prefer Google's emojis over LG's, is there a way to change that?
Then there's the quick settings from LG in the notification bar which persists even after you uncheck all the options, is that removable as well?
Who in the world prefers Google emoji over LG wth? ?

I hate the LG emojis too, I'd much rather have the Google ones as well. As soon as we have root that'll be the first thing I change lol
You need to be rooted, then you can use emoji changer (google play) and switch to google or ios emoji, but i don't kniw if it compatible with G4, but it works on G3

Indeed, if rooted use mentioned app or you can flash a file like this one and have the changes as can be seen below (I prefer the Apple emoji) :good:

lg g3 tweaksbox - where is the option to turn message app background colour

Hi all
Im trying to find the option in tweaksbox to change the background colour of the messageing app from whire to black
Somebody told me download tweaksbox and i have but now i canmot find the option
Can anybody help please
LOL... why not just go with ChompSMS or Textra? You'd get a bump in features and have more customizability of the interface.
i do not really want to change sms apps

Hi
I DO NOT want to have to download yet another app when I don't have too, im happy with the stock app
iv installed tweaksbox for this reason I juts need to know where the option is in tweaksbox to change the white background colour
1. Redundant thread from your other one. We all do our part to keep it clean.
2. You rooted, installed a custom recovery, have installed alpha Xposed and G3Tweaksbox, and are [hopefully] doing the requisite nandroid backups between all changes... just to avoid installing a messaging app that comes without the yellow bit. LMAO. THAT, sir, is priceless.
