[Q] No Root - Customizing/Themes - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All !
Im new here so im sorry if there is thread like this somewhere , i dont want to spam the forum i just couldnt find anything that would help me .
Well the thing is ive got bored of my standard LG G3 , and i want to customize it a little bit.
My G3 is not rooted , as i never done it before to any of my phones , i was always scared i could mess something up and brake it . so im new to all this stuff.
I know i can always use popular launchers from the store , but i dont trust them i always through they slow my phone down , and its not right to use it .
So my question is are there any ways of customing my G3 without rooting /launcher or do i need to Man up And Root my phone ? (can someone please explain to me , whats the most common reasons people root their phones?) .
Thank you for any help !
(And im really really sorry if there is thread like this somewhere again , and im sorry for smaping if this is just usless thread or obvieous)

Simply no because in stock rom we don't have theme manager like in CM or other custom ROM. So for customize or change looks of stock rom you have to be rooted so that you can change default apk with themed one (some available themes you have in theme section).

G4 theme for g3 stock launcher.

No root needed.

Hey friend
first there is help/troubleshooting section so you can post your ask there, and about why people need to root their phone it's simple they like to have full control and system access, the benefits of that many like flash costume recovery like TWRP you can back up all your data,other thing you can remove pre-installed apps and many more others things

Untrue. As shown in previous posts, there are some themes available without root, on the Play Store, and even on LG's Smartworld app. I'm actually using an theme app from LG's Smartworld. Have a look and see what you may like on there. (many good themes on there but, I found a nice one.) If you want the one I have, it's called Night Sky. I use it for the icons.

It's a system protected file, so astro can't install it. Push through ADB, it's easier
anyway to use terminal to install
Very nice work
well all theme developers who wants to use this in their theme ill be glad
Very nice launcher.
Let's say I don't have adb....
i used su.fb app and moved the launcher to system/app and tried installing it there..I lost my home button and still no changes...tried jus moving it there ..and a reboot and I got black screen..wiped n flashed now I'm back to square 1 is it even possible to make the changes with the su.fb app??

I flashed the 1.2 full rom, after the setup it went into a blank screen. When i press the end button, and pressed it again i can see the lockscreen. When i unlock my phone it just goes back to the black screen.

Thanks for the reply but I am not just referring to the launcher as this ROM affects your menu, status bar, and everything else.

PosT Wallpapers from System Dump

Post All possible when walls from the device from the system dump. Only after the device gets available for sale.
Okay, first of all, this should not be posted here. This should be asked in General section.
Secondly, I have downloaded the system dump, searched for Wallpapers in the whole zip, just found this one:

Can you give the link for the system dump? And do you think the device will have wallpapers? I think with the area covered in the homescreen, the device will only have themes or wallpapers for the lockscreen.

How to change boot logo in Nokia x
I have not seen the dump or anything.. but the wallpapers are not in /system/customize/resource like on other android devices?
Nokia X doesn't use wallpapers. The launcher screen has a black background and the tiles cover the screen. The wallpaper posted on here is the Qualcomm Reference Design (QRD) wallpaper. In the end, it looks like Nokia didn't ACTUALLY use AOSP, but instead used Qualcomm's Reference Android and then themed it.
@Shetty5 , here you go!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661911
@poondog , bro I know that bro, but there's nothing like that in the dump!. @dragon_76 said correct, Nokia X doesn't use wallpapers, its something like Qualcomm Reference Design.
@singhyar , this is not a correct section to ask these things. also, the phone is not completely out yet. Keep visiting the forum, people will surely make a thread regarding this.

You mean first load ? You should change boot.img (kernel). If you're talking about boot animation at system load you should root first then activate boot animation support finally put a boot animation to /system/media
AFAIK

I think you can change the lockscreen wallpaper, but if you really want to have a *proper* home screen and wallpaper ra3al's Xperia Home should work fine, at least on the SDK when I mucked around with it.

I posted here because:
1. It's a themes section (it's called Themes and Apps).
2. I've got a Sony device.
3. I can't find a section on xda where there are as many themes for sony devices as in this one.
4. I'll install cm as soon as we can unlock the Z3c bootloader without DRM issues.
However, it seems that I'm wrong with all my assumption - given that you are much more senior than me, maybe you can point me towards a more appropriate section of xda where I can ask my question, instead of telling me what not to do? (no irony/anger - I really mean it, any help is appreciated)
Thanks

1: yes that is correct and you did a request and that is a question !
2: me either
3: check playstore or use google to search
4: you can back up your DRM keys, unlock your bootloader and restore then the DRM keys
No you are not wrong buddy and i told yet where you can find the themes or what todo and i know it is not irony or with anger meanings.
Cheers

There's not a method for restoring the DRM keys for the Z3c yet
and yes, I have tried on google play and other threads but can't find anything, hence the request here.
Anyhow, this is going nowhere, it seems.

Not really black, but it's dark.

Isn't it pretty obvious that the following apps will work? I didn't think a separate thread was needed to announce it.
Meaning no offense. But very confused
Hi.. Just check cyanogen site. It says that the zip has to flashed only on cm 12. 1 and above rom. I doubt it would work on our O2 rom

That's the basis for open distribution. Everything is a niche. Get used to it. That's why we differing GAPPS packages, different ROMs, and a choice in our operating system.
