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.

Yes it does. You can rearrange the 3 built in ones and add up to 2 of the following: Qmemo, notifications , qslide and dual windows

Thanks for the responses, everybody!

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.

OmniSwitch and Note 4 Screen Resize Features

Is there a Rom or Intl Rom(9005) which have Note 4 features for our beloved Note 3. Any idea OmniSwitch works as intended on TouchWiz? I am sticking with AOSP PAC and missing the S Pen, Camera and One Hand.

Yeah, actually I am using OmniSnitch on my N3 and it works great. I actually found the app as an inclusion (system app) in the ROM that I flashed on the Note 10.1 2014 (p607t). The ROM is xKat, and was actually built for the p605 (international LTE variant), but awesomely, the hardware that T-Mobile sells is simply a re-branded p605 so any development work for the p605 works fine on the Tmo hardware :good:
Anyway, OmniSnitch is a great, super-useful app. I actually froze flashbarservice and replaced the multi window feature on the side of my screen with OmniSnitch, Flippr (another awesome app that allows you to access widgets or shortcuts from any page - even games. Crazy useful for "remote" widgets like Yatse, AnyMote, etc.) and PIE.
I'm not really sure about your first question, as I'm a Tweaked devotee, but can definitely confirm that OmniSnitch works fantastically, I don't see why it couldn't be installed on any phone / ROM. I don't think it even needs root.

@jazzmachine Thats great! Is there a HALO kind of thing available for TouchWIZ Note?

Why yes there is, and I happen to use it since it's much more versatile than split windows or pen windows. I was actually going to mention that in my last post, guess I should have :laugh:
Just installing the XHalo xposed module gets the job done. One example of a nice feature it adds is that if you open up an app via tapping on a notification, no matter if your at your launcher or have any app running, the app will open up in a window on top of whatever app you're using at the time. If you long tap a notification, in addition to being able to open App Info, you now also have the option to "open the app normally", which is self explanatory.You can also select a group of frequently used apps and tick the option to display them in the notification panel, then you can insta-launch them in a halo window from anywhere. After installing the XHalo module, don't reboot yet because there's one more module you need (for full functionality.... Halo works w/o it, but the windows won't be resizeable or movable, like they're supposed to be, if you don't also install the module "FixVisabilityOfMultipleFullScreenActivites". Basically what that one does is it fixes the visibility of multiple full screen activities.
JK, well, that is what it does, but the effect is that Halo works properly. Before installing that my halo windows were always statically positioned in the center of the screen and the didn't have the bar at the top that allows moving or resizing the window. It also allows you to open multiple Halo windows, IOW, it just fixes Halo to act like it's supposed to. If your setup is similar to mine, and you "repurpose" the edges of your screen, and you don't really use native mutliwindow (I have a ton of apps installed, and since certain ROMS (Tweaked) auto-add all apps to the sidebar and penwindow launcher, particularly the latter would take like, a while, to launch. There's no lag whatsoever with this modified (and more functional IMO) setup. Anyway, I was going to recommend freezing flashbarservice (multi window) in Titanium of something. For me, doing that released a good chunk of RAM, so if you don't use, or are trying to replace the multi-window functionality, definitely freeze if you're not using. Additionally, the frees the long press back for reassignment to another function, should you be inclined to do so. I reassign the hell out of my hard keys, even adding an activity to just pulling the S pen out and pushing it back in.
Modified S Pen functionality is the last thing I'll describe about my setup, so that this time I can answer before you ask I REALLY like GMD S Pen Control. I turned off air command, and have been working on and off on configuring that app with the goal of being able to launch anything (even obscure "secret code" menus) just by scribbling something on my screen. It's awesome, you just have to get into the habit of using the paths that you've configured regularly so that you don't forget them. So far I've just configured launching frequently used apps and settings toggles (the app also allows you to create, I think 5 launcher bars w/ 8 items (actions, tasks, shortcuts, toggles, a ton of stuff) each of which you can launch, of course, with a pen path).
So with my setup, I've pretty much taken the "Touch" out of the "Wiz".... wait, no, the "Wiz" ou... err, that's much worse. OK, first and last time using any variation of that description. what I'm saying here is that the TW "features" that I've replaced could be used on any device / ROM... so perhaps I've got my eye on an Nexus 6. Well, it was in my field of vision when I was playing with the N4 in the store yesterday (I can't resist activating dev mode on store demos... I mean I like to take a look at the settings there, but it's a thing.... if I pick up a demo model, I'm in About device tapping on the build #) on the N4 I was surprised to see that one of the first options was toggling the runtime between Dalvik and ART, but I didn't think the N4 was able to use ART yet, so I turned it on and the phone rebooted... I then saw the guy who's helped me out the most there was free so I went over to talk to him and ask a few questions and I forgot to check out the N4 set to ART before I took off. Really wish I did, but whatevers. I'll likely have my very own (hand picked perfection, totally perfect uniform display :victory:
So that was pretty OT, this a little less, but a complaint that I keep seeing about the N4 is lag with the recents panel launched. OmniSnitch seems like the perfect app to avoid that issue. For those unfamiliar, OmniSnitch is launched via a persistent (customizeable) half bubble / handle thing. A bar opens up (on any screen) and first you have a row of recently used apps. You can also assign persistent "favorites" that you can launch by tapping the arrow below the row of app icons, and you can immediately switch to a previous app or launch a favorite instanly - Lag + recent apps + OmniSnitch = complete non-issue. Attached a couple screen of how it looks (I don't think the app icons would be themed if you don't use Unicon, I'm not really sure about the general availability of this app. I actually pulled it off of the ROM that I installed on my Note 10.1 - so system app on tablet, but user app on phone. Works the same either way. I'd be happy to upload it, but don't feel like I should do so without permission from... I have no idea. Searching the Play store, the only result is called Fancy Switcher, which looks like a not so successful attempt to copy the app and (unnecessarily IMO) 'fancy it up'. Meh. So hopefully it's available on xda somewhere, but if anyone happens to know the dev if they could ask if they mind their app being shared in this thread, then write up a statement to that effect, both of you sign it (in blood), and send it to me via certified mail... I don't know. If people want it but can't find it, try to find out if it's FOSS, or GPLed or something, just post in here and if it's cool I'm happy to share

alternative app to the ASUS Cover app for cynogenmod 13

the cover:
https: //www .asus.com/media/global/products/AW7BzTzWWiUW8zEN/P_setting_fff_1_90_end_500. png
I've checked the other 5 forum requests that are asking for ports of the Asus Cover app for CM and it seems that it either can't be done or its just not going to happen. I'm curious if there is another option to use my asus cover with another app that allows usage of a view window in CM 13. The features I liked most for the orig app were the flashlight, music control and a clock. I always used 3rd party apps for sms and email so the orig app never properly grabbed information from these 3rd party notifications rendering the windowed notification display to be useless. Buuuuut if there WAS an app in existence that had these features in a window that one could choose the shape and size to match that of the window on my cover, I'd deff want to know what that is.
Side Note:
I just managed to get CM 13 installed on the senfone 2 with all regular features working and xposed and all kinds of other cool ****, ALL DUE TO THE AMAZING EFFORTS of the great people of this forum. Thanks people. I hated the ZENUI and bloatware this phone came with. You all made my day.:good:

Once MM sources are released, the cm13 devs may be able to get asus flip cover working.

CM 13 vs Smart Cover and NFC

Hi there,
I have problem with smart cover for my s4 mini. I just switched from stock rom to CM 13. It's running and looks great, but i cant find a solution to bring back smart cover. It was awesome feature, but looks like CM13 is not supporting it anymore by itself. I tried to find an app on google store - there was something like S-View, but it didnt work and the rest of them is for turn on/off screen. The thing is cover IS turning screen on/off, but there is no special screen with time, notification, music info.
Also - i can't find NFC icon anyware. Is it still working?

You can use SlimKat rom. It has smart cover support

Once you go Android 6, you cant go back.
So - NFC is not supported at all, i hope it will be fixed in upcoming releases. I didn't test nightly build (cuz i just started with android), so can you tell me if this is upcoming feature?
And about that smart cover. I noticed that apps i was talking about earlier - S-View for example - work with p-sensor, no magnetic sensor. It's kinda problem.
You know - power button can turn on screen with case closed ONLY with system lock screen, but... clock is just too low ;_; Any lockscreen from market just doesnt react to power button when case i closed. Is there any way to way to (restore from stock rom for example) and change system's lock screen? Or change the position of clock with some magic tricks?

Idk much about it but modder can help you

Actually at this point i don't know if even modder can help me I think it's impossible to write an app that will work 'above' default lockscreen. Also only this one works properly with magnet sensor - any other custom lockscreen won't turn on the screen with button, when case is closed.
I found a solution in xposed framework - i just moved clock in default screen to the height of window in case. It's doing its job. I also adjusted the dark overlay, so it looks almost like S-View - ofc without picking calls and notifications number (tho if there is any notification the clock is slightly higher - coinsider it as bug or feature ).
Here is a snapshot of my current lockscreen: i.imgur.com/RMhAvYf.png
The better solution can come from widget that will show clock, date, notifications, maybe even give possibility to pick up calls. It can be done by another xposed apk, that let you add widgets to your default lockscreen.

newbe question regarding level of customization with no rooted phone

If i do not root the telephone, can I use personalized widgets and themes?
Sorry for the quite trivial question but I do not have Samsung experience

Absolutely! That's the great thing about Android. You can even choose to go with something completely different than Samsung's launcher. There's lots of different launchers that support themes. Nova and Apex are two popular options. Themes are also available for Samsung.

1. Launcher and theme as mention above.
2. Ads free by Adguard on Play Store.
3. Disable almost apps anf module you want by EZ Disable Package or Package Disable Pro
4. Change dpi by Content Scaling or some commands through adb

I prefer not to root or tinker with my primary business phone because I don't want to have something not work as intended and miss a call or appointment.
The level of customization you can do with launchers and themes these days is almost on par with what you can achieve with a rooted device.
In addition to themes you can also download and install custom icon packs to customize the look of all of your icons.
For widgets you can get something like the Beautiful Widgets app that lets you customize various widgets for the device. It is very popular for people who like the HTC type clock widget look on their home screens.
Just do some searches on the play store for themes, icon packs, widgets, keyboards, etc and there are enough customization options to make your head spin.

For Home screens / App drawer / Folder, any Launcher will do. My all time fav, and most reliable recommendation is easily Nova Launcher.
- Nova lets you customize the font size, label colours, icon sizes, icon packs, homescreen grid, app drawer grid, homescreen gestures and so much more.
For custom button remapping, Button Remapper works perfectly without root. It will let you set custom actions for your physical buttons (swap the recent/back if you wish, or add hold functionality)
- The app is a bit limited without root in regards to added functionality, but its something!
- I believe the non-rooted version also allows you to map volume keys to add Music skip / pause functionality. (Correct me if im wrong!)
For global app / service disabling, definitely use Package Disabler Pro. It has a built in list of (currently) 97 apps considered unneeded, and gives you full control of every app.
- This has been proven to save battery btw!
For added Toggles in the Notification panel (not QuickPanel) there are hundreds of working apps that add their own little notification bar, fully interactive, that shows up as a notification card.
- It may seem a bit redundant considering Samsung's built in QuickPanel does mostly everything, but for a few things that may be missing (ie. Hotspot, Mobile Data, or specific functions like opening apps, setting gps/data to specific modes etc).
For ad blocking, you can use AdGuard. I havent personally tried this app, but it is highly recommended by most users in this forum.
For button backlight disabling / modding, you can use Button Backlight 2.
- It allows you to turn off button backlight completely, add a custom time, or have them on all the time
Android is so vastly open, even without root, if you ever feel like you are missing a certain function / feature, theres a very high chance that a solution would have been made long ago.
It never hurts to google what you wish to do. When I first got my Note 5 for example, the first phone with button backlights, I wanted to turn them off completely as well as swap the layout of them from recents home back, to back home recents. A few minutes later and I found myself using the two apps mentioned above, and a happy camper!

well it looks like I am really grateful to samsung to give me the possibilities under the hood. My dev friends scared me in every way saying that touch wiz is bloatware, that people think is really taking the control of the system, instead I found it effective, and most important of all I am happy samsung is not taking coltan from congolese mines.
I am also really grateful to you.
which tutorial do you recommend me to customize my themes? if there is an app, Gui super, otherwise I am also an android developer, so do not mind also to write some java/xml. Also i guess there is some design involved, which software should i use photoshop or gimp? Last but not least, as I use to test my apps, installing a lot of themes will decrease the perform, or the fact that is run one per time will not affect performance? thank you guys. Customization is everything for me, as bosters creativity and make the day more exciting
EDIT: I am wondering if downloading themes is safe in terms of malicious code.
