Hello all. So I just picked up the vk810 a few days ago. Already rooted it, installed xposed and few other root apps, but one issue still remains. I HATE LG's navbar. Why in the world would they put send button instead of the recent apps button?!
Anywho, I installed both g2 xposed and g2 tweak box, both of which apparently work on this device but I still can't change the navbar. I seen that someone else was able to get it to change, so idk what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be great. Someone suggested ultimate dynamic navbar, but it has some annoying issues.
On a side note, I've been scouring the forums, is there any update on 100% working stock android rom for the vk810? Or even any room that's 100%working really...
Thanks!
UDN Pro "Ultimate Dynamic Navigation". I paid for it, it's worth it.
Do you have the G Pad too running LGs interface? I heard some issues with it blocking things and issues with two navbars. Any of those issues with yours?
EDIT: installed UDN pro. It does block full screen things unless you hide it, which makes it a bit of pain to use, but it's still better than stock. Guess I'll stick with this until something better comes along. Crossing my fingers for an AOSP rom soon. Seen something about it back in Nov but haven't seen any updates on anything. Big bummer for us vk810 owners...

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?
Now that I have my G4 (TMo) rooted, unlocked, xposed, etc, I find I'm happy with pretty much everything. App Ops is built in, settings that were gone in stock can be easily added back with xposed modules, I'm no longer stuck with the crappy built-in battery monitor, bloat's been removed, etc. However, there is still one sticking point... I HATE the stock LG notification drawer, particularly its "quick settings" implementation, and would like to get this back to stock-style AOSP Lollipop. I had hoped to find a Xposed module to help with this, but nothing thusfar has been able to change the notification drawer. Custom ROMs are a potential option, but I'm pretty sure I'd hate the phone even more if I didn't have double-tap-to-wake, and I'd rather not compromise the camera quality.
Has anyone found a way to change this, or could point me in the right direction of figuring it out myself? (I suspect it may require a mod to the ROM.)

First of all, I can guarantee you that there will not be an xposed module that will let you completely change how the quick settings work. There will be an xposed mod coming out soon that will let you change the colors and such with the quick settings.
Secondly, essentially all custom ROMs for the G4 will have DT2W support. When I flashed CM on my G3 last year, the ROM supported DT2W, and the camera quality was still the exact same. It also supported the laser auto focus as well.
are there such things? I've been doing some searching for a few hours now with no results it seems. I was wondering if anyone here knows of any sites that makes custom LG G4 themes that i can download and install through the LG home themes setting that actually changes the UI's theme? I don't like LG's stock home screen i prefer smarter home screens like Aviate (before yahoo went and screwed it up) or Bento(Scout for those who don't recognize the original name Bento lol) I'd like to know if it's even POSSIBLE to create custom themes for the LG G4 with out requiring Root or a custom rom because the LAST time i tried to root my device it got perma bricked and i had to have it replaced through Sprint claiming it was a software issue and didn't get charged a dime in turn.
Unless the LG G4 has some awesome roms like MIUI or other similar roms with a ton of customization to make it my own, along with said roms giving massive improvements to battery life and performance i'd rather not take the chance of screwing up my replacement device as there doesn't seem to be any quick root method that doesn't require a computer to do it with ODIN and the like. (i miss the old days of simply putting the update zip on your SD card and simply flashing it through stock recovery)
SOOO any thoughts? any suggestions? ANYTHING? ;w;
Since this is the first LG phone I've ever owned, I am unsure if this has already been achieved or not, and before I tinker with it any further I wanted to see if anyone else shares the same interest.
I decided to give a shot at adding more app options to the QSlide menu on the notification bar. I know there are Xposed modules that accomplish this by adding their own menu option to the notification bar, but I wanted to have the smooth, integrated feel that the stock menu provides. I've run a few test trials on a few different apps, which have all worked seamlessly, but before I devoted any more time to this little project, I just wanted to see if it had already been done before and if I was just wasting time on something that already exists.
Oh god please do something. No one has as far as I know. I started a thread asking a few weeks ago.
I'll test the **** outta whatever you want.
(I legit worked in mobile QA before)
Not sure if it is a coincidence or not, but ever since I upgraded to 10.5, my app drawer has been a mess. It is displaying a bunch of apps in keys that I've never been shown before, IE the Carrier services app, the titanium pro version app, etcetera. These are all things that launchers have kept hidden in the past. Any idea what is causing them to display in the app drawer now? Not a big deal just very irritating to have it so cluttered all of a sudden
I've had the same since I got the phone on 10.0.3. No idea why. As you say it's not a big deal but I'd like to know. I wonder if these apps need to be updated for something different in Android 10.

yeah, good point. It may have to do with the afternoon to be updated. Either way it's just a nuisance, I guess that is what we get for being early adopters
Anyone figure out a way to get around this?
