So i updated kitkat for my gpad and then did a factory reset. Then i start installing the apps i use to have. Install apex launcher and when looking for the task manager widget its not there. Also i discovered that the email,lg backup,task manager,voice mate,voice recorder, and weather app has a generic android guy picture when using apex launcher and any other launcher,but the apps work and this doesn't happen on lg stock launcher. Is there a way to get this fix or is anyone having the same problem.
Here is my firmware: V50020b USA
try solo launcher or TSF 3D Launcher

solo launcher and TSF Shell 3D Launcher works well on LG G Pad 8.3, I tried those launchers on my G Pad 8.3 with v50020A kitkat update. all LG app icons are shown on those two launchers. try those launchers and see if it works for you too.

i tried the widget for solo launcher and it doesn't work for me. Is this because of kitkat because everything used to work for jellybean.

LG Task manager widget and other LG app widgets does not work on solo launcher, cannot even be seen in widgets menu in solo launcher. And I have HTC android phone and all HTC widgets don't work on other launchers than HTC Sense launcher. So it is not only LG devices that don't support their widget to third-party launchers

No. It didn't work even on jelly bean, it's LG decision to not let their app widgets to support other launchers. So it's not a bug.

So the G3 launcher and keyboard can be ported and the G Pro 2 SlideAside and Knock Code can be ported. I'm wondering if the G Pro 2's great Mini View feature can also be ported.
Does anyone know if it's a simple system apk, built in the launcher, or in the kernel?

There are no themes. You need to download different launchers and customize it.
Or, you need to get root to install substratum from the Google market.

hey guys
My note is not rooted. Is there any way to apply icon packs from play store. I used this on my oneplus and it looks amazing but note doesn't let me apply any icons from play store and galaxy themes doesn't have something like this.
