Hi.
Is there any way to Disable the Slide To Answer function? I really like the button style which is used when the phone is active/unlocked.
I am also intersted in this, I have found out a workaround ... it will not let the phone go into the lock state

Is there a way ,tutorial or guide on how to assign a different function or add a new function / button to quick settings buttons of android ? (The ones that enable WiFi , BT , access point , etc)
I have the Verizon G4, and I have Xposed and GravityBox working successfully. However, I ran into a few issues that I want to share, as well as share what I can confirm works. As we all know, GravityBox has a big disclaimer that it is meant for AOSP or stock-based ROMs, and not for heavily skinned ROMs like what our G4 has.
Confirmed working:
Changes to the status bar (remove icons, change battery icon, add data monitor, etc.)
Enabling all rotations
Lockscreen modification to automatically unlock after successful PIN entry
Confirmed not working:
Media tweak to allow separate ringtone and notification volume (this simply doesn't make any changes to volume controls)
Go to dialer automatically when opening phone
If you want to add to this list, simple comment below and I will update the OP. Hopefully this will help others from making possible bootloop or freezing issues.
Not Working: Go to dialer automatically when opening phone. It still goes right to recent for me.
Sometimes Works: Skip tracks with volume keys when screen is off. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I enabled the quick unlock under lockscreen tweaks. Works for me..

Do you use a PIN or pattern?

EDIT: I tried it and it worked with a PIN. I believe the issue was I also checked the button to automatically prompt for the PIN entry as well.
Were you able to remove the sim icon with the question mark with Gravity when using your T-Mobile sim?
Is anybody using it with smart unlock? For some reason, with gravity box installed, smart unlock did not work for me. Messed with all lock screen settings to no avail, including trying to disable all
I've tried all the following tweaks:
Statusbar tweaks- all the signal cluster, battery, and clock settings work. Data traffic monitor works. Ongoing notification blocker works. Disable peek too.
Display tweaks- allow all rotations works.
Media tweaks- "volume keys skip track" works. Some people have reported intermittent function but it works flawlessly for me. More music volume steps works. Reorient volume keys works. Disabling safe headset media volume works. Volume panel timeout works.
Navigation keys actions- all these settings work. To edit the square icon you have to use the recent key option.
Miscellaneous tweaks- recent tasks RAM bar with adjustments works. Headset actions work. Enable screenshot delete works.
All ultimate notification control settings work.
I'm sure other tweaks work but I haven't tried them.
can anyone get quicksettings to work? i haven't used gravitybox before. it seems pretty great, but i cant get that to work, maybe it isnt compatible.
i really want a separate quick-settings vs notification panel like I had in my m8/viperone. the g4 is slick, but i can't stand the quicksettings/notifications screen.
Is there any way to have the data/LTE icon disappear when connected to WiFi?
Expandable volume panel
Enabling Gravity Box (5.3.4)-->Media tweaks-->Expandable volume panel doesn't work. In fact, it makes your volume panel not show what level your volume is set/changed to when you tap a volume button. This is on VS98613B, and also did it on VS98611A.

This is called "Unknown Sim Icon"
Just Google LG G4 Unknown Sim Icon
There is a wonderful (samsung) app in quick settings called Side Key Panel that I have only seen on the Note 4. I realize there is something similar in (android) setting menu, but it is not hideable. This app sits oN the side of the screen and needs to be swiped to be visible. I would really like to have this .APK because I use GMD SPen Control, and have it set to disable all touch except spen when I pull it out. The only problem is that when in that mode it also disables the hardware keys (except the home button), and I can't use them unless I put the pen away. While the floating menu app works, it is always on the screen and frequently gets in the way. This is just a much better solution IMO.
Just got my new (refurb) 2 XL. I would like to try to go stock android on this for a while.
Is there any way to achieve the one feature I cannot live without: long-press power button for flashlight?
I don't think so. You can quickly access it via the notification shade of course. You can set a swipe down gesture on the fingerprint sensor to call the notification shade. You should also be able to turn the flashlight on with voice commands, even with the screen off.
The above are only suggestions for workarounds, but I may have missed something.
I have a sloppy way I do it on 8.1 that uses Automagic and the volume key shortcut in Accessibility Settings. Tasker probably works too.
Turn the shortcut on, select a service. I selected a launcher I don't use. Note that this toggles the accessibility features of an app, so don't use something that needs this. Click to enable it on lockscreen.
Now when you hold both volume buttons for 3 seconds, the system notifies you the service has been toggled. Finally I have a flow in Automagic that triggers when this pops up and from there toggle the flashlight. It even works when locked IF the screen is on.
I use a similar method to customize the Active Edge thing.
Locked on Verizon. Have to be creative

This is probably the best option a double tap
