I Have Optimus G E973 from Bell, and i'm having an issue, loving the new qslide feature with keyboard, BUT, for soem reason the LS keyboard adn the ANdroid Keyboard have both removed the Vocie typing key and even though its in the settings it does nt show up on the keyboards at all.. his is not a huge problem, but my daughter uses that feature as she cant type due to health issues, and it's just weird that the feature not working, hoping someone can give some insight into this, I thank-you all kindly for your time..
Hi!
I'm planning on buying the LG G Pad 8.3, but I live in Brazil and the Google Play Edition isn't available here. However, I really love the simple UI and clean software-design from Google (I have a Moto G, as well) and I've alson seen some people saying that, sometimes, there are a few performance issues with the G Pad that isn't the Google Play Edition due to, mainly, LG's bloats. I'd like to know whether it's possible to flash the stock ROM (download it from somewhere) and, basically, turn the v500 into the v510 (GPe). So, is it possible? If it is, is it also necessary to change the kernel? And, if so, has anyone done it before / could it brick the tablet? I'd like to buy one soon, because of the price and good specs, but I'm not keen on the software-design by LG and I'd like to have a "original" system running on it, not some modified/customized cyanogen stuff (although, if that's my only option to a better performance, I'd probably choose it).
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
You can simply install CM11 + gapps, you've got something close to GPE.
Hahaha...you need to root the G Pad to install stock Android ROM. Maybe You can find the stock ROM here on xda developer...but root the device first.

Right...
The only problem I've encountered is not finding the Stock ROM from the Google Play edition... And I've seen the CM11 based version, I just don't like the setting menu from CM11, but maybe I'll do that. The main thing I want is the virtual button to show the recent apps that is simply non existant on the non-GPe edition!

On stock ROM : long press home button !
I know that, I've seen some videos about it already... But I don't like it and it's a functionality that Google has considered obsolete since Android 3.0 and, for some stupid reason, LG and their GREAT software-designers still implement it. They really should follow Motorola on this regard, as they are releasing new phones with no bloat at all, using basically what would be a Nexus version of their phones.
P.S.: FOUND A TOPIC ABOUT THIS IN GENERAL FORUM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51834016
Basically, it doesn't work due to small hardware differences (WiFi and Bluetooth seem to fail after flashing the v510 stock ROM). However, I believe an AOSP ROM is still an option for better performance.

I cannot begin to imagine why that is desirable, where everyone would have the same phone experience. Very boring.
In any case I agree that LG has done some GREAT stuff with the software. If you buy a G Pad, you will see for yourself.
How do we install CM11 + gapps? There is no playstore app?
So, I just got the G3 (jumped from the g2) and was wondering if there is any way to add (or customize) the apps available on the dual-window screen?
The reason I ask is I had rooted my g2 and someone was able to port a version of the dual window app over to it (from the original phone it was launched on, the g-flex). I have looked but have not been able to find anything for the g3 yet? This would be awesome as I really think this is the only major flaw I have found in my g3, at least for me anyway?
I don't know if there is another way, but I used this apk and it allowed me to add all my apps to dual window. I know it says its for lg flex but it worked on the G3 as well. Of course, make a backup before hand just to be safe.

You change a setting in your build.prop to allow ALL apps to be used in dual window, amongst other things.
G3 Build.prop Tweaks
Finally got to Android 5. I want to do one mod and I have a few questions
First the mod.
I have the lgg3 vs985. I like android 5 so far but I do not like how the dialer is set up. I like the old one I had with the stock ROM, is there a way to get the stock LG g3 dialer or something similar
Now for qusetions
I love xprivacy but I can't get it to work on Android 5. I see it dont work on it yet. Will there be a update for it. I would love to have it again
LG g3 stock camera

com.cyngn.cameranext-2.0.003_(eng.jenkins-internal.3fcbc7b.101014_140126-30)-20003030-minAPI18

Thanks
Hello guys
I recently purchased an LG G4 H815 european version, rooted it, installed twrp, etc and everything is awesome except one thing: the keyboard itself seems rather... Slow or laggy. I am used to writing really fast, and in this phone's case, it seems annoyingly slow. Any way to mod the keyboard animation to be faster and more responsive? I'd really appreciate the help
I disabled the LG Keyboard and installed the Google Keyboard from playstore.
Much better for me.
Yeah the aftermarket keyboard are way better. Especially FLEKSY
