I have absolutely no experience with that however, I did a search on Google and this thread popped up. All I searched for was "how to edit build.prop":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1236732
Anyone feel free to verify/correct me as I have never edited my build.prop before and I don't intend to. This is for anyone who may be looking for an answer. I won't say it is the answer as I've never done this before but hopefully this helps someone get on the proper train of thought.
if you're rooted try removing or renaming the phone.apk in /system/app. Make a copy of the ROM .zip to flag the original first in case something doesn't work ans definitely a backup in cwm. This should disable the activation nag and data phone capabilities. Not a good idea if you want to use it as a phone.

If you can't use your phone for text,data,and talking, you can disable it as it essentially disables the ROM's use of the cell's radio (wifi should still work).
Couple ways to do it:
1. remove the phone.apk from the zip and transfer new zip to sdcard and wipe system in recovery and re-flash rom.
2. Using root explorer or some kind of app that can write to /system, delete or rename the Phone.apk found in /system/app and reboot. If you get force close messages, just battery pull and boot the phone up again.
And, no there's no editing of the file itself just making the android system not able to find it. Not officially supported by devs to disable the radio but if you're having struggles to skip activation it is definitely worth a shot.

You're talking about the screen that comes up when you first turn the phone on after you first buy the phone?
There's a way to do it without changing the build.prop, I'll look for it. I actually did it when j first got my phone.
Some people have said if you tap the top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left corners in that order it bypasses it.
It works for some, the way I did it involved dialing some **number and changing somethings to 0000000

Here I found a link to where it says how to tap the corners
http://www.androidcentral.com/bypass-activation-screen-your-android-device
And I found the way I was talking about when you call **778 and change the settings
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".
8. The phone will auto reboot in 10 seconds.
#2 works permanently as I remember and it's pretty easy to do.
I read the guide that allowed us to enable the native hotspot on the Verizon G3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/mod-verizon-g3-hotspotmod-g2-apk-t2852152), and there have been some minor changes on the G4. I also decided to do the simple approach of using a file manager such as SolidExplorer instead of Terminal Emulator.
First things first, you need root to enable this. To learn how to root your device, visit here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765
Step 1:
Download the modified hotspot provisioning file below (unchanged from the G3, just renamed)
Navigate using your preferred root-capable file explorer (I prefer SolidExplorer) to the download location
Cut/copy this file to prepare to move it
Step 2:
Navigate to /System/App/HotspotProvision
Rename HotspotProvision.apk to HotspotProvision.bak
Reported to not be necessary:
Navigate to the arm64 sub-folder
Rename HotspotProvision.odex to HotspotProvision.bakdex
Step 3:
Paste/move the downloaded modified HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk file to /system/app/HotspotProvision
Step 4:
Long-press on the file > properties to change the permissions
Change the permissions to 644 (rw-, r--, r--) You can also run chmod 644 /system/app/HotspotProvision/HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk
Step 5:
Reboot
You now have access to the native hotspot!
Common Issues:
If you get an error when toggling the native hotspot, make sure you rename the file with the .bak and .bakdex file extension. Simply renaming the file name while leaving the .apk and .odex at the end will cause conflicts and it will not work.

Good tutorial.
I was able to make this work without renaming the odex file, but if I have any problems going forward I'll do that.
Confirmed working here. Thanks!

The odex file was leftover from the G3 tutorial. To be honest I didn't try it without renaming it, but that's good to know!
Cannot thank you enough for this..
In the past 5 days Ived received my new phone after long trying to stick it through with Galaxy Nexus (toro), root was released, and now this.. Everything is amazing.
Thanks a bunch man. Worked like a charm.

Not Working for Me
So, not sure what I'm doing wrong...I followed instructions and after rebooting the phone, I go in and try to turn Mobile Hotspot 'ON' and get an error, "Activity is not exist this device"
WTF?!?
I just got the phone last week and de-bloated/froze OTA. I'm thinking I probably froze something that's needed for native wifi hotspot, does anyone have any ideas?
BTW, I'm on rooted 10B and I had been using FoxFi up until now, with no problems (beside it being slow).
Edit: Here are the apps that I have frozen:
DTIgnite
GCUV
Google Play Movies & TV
Google Play Music
Google+
LG Health Agent
SnapPage

Did you rename the old file extension to a bak, or rename just the file name? That's the error you will get when renaming just the file name while keeping the extension a apk.

Thanks for the pointer, it lead me in the right direction. I did rename the extension to .bak, but the extension of the HotspotProvisionVZWG4 file was .zip, whoops! Rookie move.
Renamed to .apk, rebooted and working great!!
I was about 5 minutes away from doing a factory restore, really appreciate the reply!
Doing a speed test on a connected client machine (and only having 2 bars of 4G), I'm getting about 25Mbps down and 6Mbps up
This phone is now everything that I wanted in my upgrade (except an unlocked bootloader, but I can't be greedy at this point) and I'm loving it. Thank you so much!

What speeds are you seeing at speedtest.net via HotSpot. I've seen declining speeds since the LG G3 12B. 23C was slower, and 24b was even slower in my area.
I'd be interested in your results.
Thanks,

THANKS!!!
I've been waiting for this day for a long time (whenever the LG LG4 VS986 was released). Oddly enough for me it didnt work at first. I put the .odex file back to its original name and it seemed to just work from there. Nevertheless THANK YOU !!!!!
This was the ONE thing I've been waiting for.

I'll have a look at the settings.apk does anyone have the stock LGSettings.apk with odex files. I'd have to flash back to stock at this point.

I don't but I've got the stock kdz ready to flash. I'll pull it and send to you then once we get it figured out I'll reflash your Rom .
One thing I've noticed is my hd calling says click here to turn it off although I've verified through 4g Data not working on calls and the hd notification not showing up on calls to my wife that it definatley is not working. I also know that it for sure worked on stock so it's something that's causing settings to stop. Soon as I get flashed to stock I'll upload settings.apk
See the errors now, I'll have it fix soon.

Ok after 2 hours of messing with adb saying my device is offline I give up...adb worked fine but this is the first time using it with Windows 10 so I'm guessing it's got drivers messed up which is causing it to not issue a device authorization attempt which means I can't use adb right now.....

Sometimes I have the same issue with Windows, not sure of the exact problem. But restarting Windows and phone while usb is disconnected ussally fixes the issue for no apparent reason.

Hi all,
The latest update has some issues- the OS boots and I am immediately presented with a system.ui has been stopped dialogue. I'm unable to open the app drawer, open an app, open the notification drop-down. The popup appears almost immediately after dismissing. I think the Testers really missed something here.......
I'm going to have to try and locate the previous version and hope I can install it through twrp.
Has anyone else seen this happen?

I was unable to install the apks located there in the traditional way. I tried to install them through TWRP via adb push file.apk /system/app but it didn't work. I'm unaware of how to install APKs outside of the system otherwise? Regardless, downgrading, if this method is viable, didn't work. I had to completely wipe clean and start fresh.

Not sure if HTC is to blame, or we...or you being still on marshmallow.
Next time please post in the viper thread, then I would have seen your post much earlier to debug your issue.
we found the issue.
run:
adb shell settings put system tweaks_hquicksettings Tweaks
..and it will be fixed. when you resetup your toggles, don't pick any of the two sync toggles.
I'll create a flashable zip to remove those soon.

You should have been able to fix it without wiping by booting to recovery and dirty flashing the ROM.

Thank You! Flashing this file fixed the issue and saved me a huge headache. Now to take away the HTC Lockscreen app's
"auto update" rights since it clearly can't be trusted.

read the info on our homepage.
Not sure who is to blame, htc or we.
You can install the update, with either the fix installed or the sync toggles removed.
or you dirty flash the fullrom on top, that way the sync toggles stay working.

There's a few xposed modules I like.
Is nougat really that big a difference? I have it on my tablet and it's very similar to marshmallow.

guiness is also just a usual beer.
Well I like Marshmallow and Nougat. But I don't like Guinness!
If Guinness had Xposed modules then I'd drink it!
I have this problem on my m8 as well. Unfortunately I was not able to solve this problem with your post. I cannot execute the adb command since adb is telling me that my device is offline (I booted into the OS with the screen going on and off).
I also flashed the zip file, but it didn't work out either. I am not sure which version of viper I have (I assume it's the 6.0.1), so I tried different zips but no success...
Could anyone tell me what I did wrong? I really don't want to do a full reset.

another way would be to go to twrp->advanced->file manager
navigate to /data/app/ and delete the com.htc.lockscreen folder do the same in /data/data
boot up, then go back to recovery and flash the fullrom on top.
if nothing helps, you can do a twrp backup, then clean flash. Now you can restore your apps and data with titanium backup.
Been looking for a solution to this ! My gf phone had the exact same issue, dirty flashed and still no good etc.
I shall try the packages J posted. Thanks so much!

Hi
Recently I bought an A5 (2017) cell phone, but I'm facing terrible performance issues (lagging, delays, crashes and noise during sound playback).
Additionally I get the message that com.android.providers.downloads.ui is causing performance issues. (unfortunately I'm not allowed to post screenshots.)
Interestingly when I use the "Device Maintenance" in Setting and clean the RAM, the problem is gone. I tried to close the apps one by one to find out the one that is causing the problem, but I wasn't able to do so.
I tried freezing com.android.providers.downloads.ui by cmd appops set <package_name> RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore and the problem was solved, but when I wanted to use Play Store, it said that I had to enable Downloads app.
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe, you can force stop and delete data the Download Manager app in app manager

As I said, I can freeze the package, but when I open Play Store it says that it needs Downloads app to be enabled.

Try wiping data,cache and dalvic from recovery.Otherwise flash the stock ROM.

Thanks for reply.
I did wipe cache and it seemed to fix the problem but after a while the problem was back. I can't root my phone and there is no option for wiping dalvik in recovery mode.
About last option, does flashing stock ROM delete my apps and data? And where can I download stock ROM?

Flashing the ROM won't delete anything on your phone.Visit SamMobile and look for your model to get the correct ROM(Instructions can be found on the site)Also click thanks!?
You have been deleting things. This has caused the "com.android.providers.downloads.ui" error. Use Odin to flash your firmware to restore everything to normal. When you flash the firmware, choose home_csc to avoid deleting your data. Otherwise you will lose everything

I don't know how you got that I've been deleting things, maybe because of my bad English, but I haven't.
Actually, I started to disable (or freeze) the Download Manager after I received the "com.android.providers.downloads.ui" error many times.
I really prefer not to flash my phone, because it's really hard for me to install the apps again.
It will be great if you could suggest a way to overcome the problem without losing my apps or data.

Sorry....I see you are not rooted. That's fine.
Option 1....downgrade Google Play Services - locate in apps and uninstall updates. This will revert to an earlier or factory setting.
Test it and let me know

That's wrong actually you just flash the ROM,I did it multiple times and no he can't delete system stuff in order to cause those errors otherwise phones would have been complete trash.I really don't know why it's trash since it's brand new though?

I mispunctuated my reply earlier. No big deal.
I was on the understanding that if the CSC is flashed as part of the main firmware installation everything goes however, if HOME_CSC is flashed, data remains.

There is no such option as "uninstall updates" in Google Place Services in app section. And the disable button is grayed out. I googled, and it seems I need to root my phone to be able to downgrade Google Play Services.

Hi. Sorry - just seen this.
Okay. In Apps section, tap the 3dots at the top right of the screen and select "Show system apps".
When loaded, scroll down to "Google Services Framework". Tap it. Tap Disable.
Reboot. Repeat process to then enable. Reboot. See what we have.
It's just a case of diagnostics now, if you want to avoid the flash route (we'll try and keep that as last resort - but you will not lose data using my method above)

It's driving me crazy!!!
When I disable MTP Host the battery draining and performance issues are gone, but of course some the other necessary features would be out of access too.
I was wondering if there is any way to update or replace MTP Host!?
