One of the annoying features of the G Pad is the clutter in notification drop down. I've hidden everything using the xposed framework but still don't like all notifications opening maximized, does anyone know of a way to make them open minimized like stock Android?
I also find the full screen drop down irritating, having to close by dragging at the bottom rather than just wipe up. I presume the only cure for this is to wait for a custom rom?
Hi,
So finally I've upgraded my G3 cat.6 (F460K) to lollipop. I find a few things annoying and I guess it is applicable to all G3:
1. lock screen notification - is it just me or LG made it useless? what's the point of all notifications if you cannot enter them from the lock screen. Am I missing something? some notifications (such as calendar) I can tap and then slide below it to arrive directly to the event. other notification does not work so I don't see the point in such notifications. tell me if it happen to you to.
2. my bottom bar is white. in some applications (whatsapp, browser etc) every time I type something and keyboard pops up, the bottom bar turns black. after finishing the typing it goes back to white.
3. no Qmemo (screen capture) from the home bottom
4. the notification bar keeps changing colors but most of it is not the same color as the app. is there any rule?
Please share your thoughts. and tell me if the above happen to you too.
Thanks.
1. works with all. When you press notification it indicates that you have to unlock the screen. After unlock app will open.
2. settings-homescreen-navbar style. Which one you chosed?
3. not using so wouldnt know
4. its material design. Apps that are not built with material design will not have the same backgroud
1. Yeah, and having only 2 notifications there is frustrating. There's room for more...
2. Strange, never happened to me on both stock and hacker's keyboard.
3. Yep, no navring for 5.0! I really hope that it's fixable...
4. The rule should be "let application decide, if it doesn't care - then use color of action bar". Usually, actionbar sits on top of activity, and everything looks fine.
I upgraded to the OTA lollipop update for my m8. Everything feels fast and smooth but what is up with the notifications from hell? The notification preview that drops down from the top bar (I believe lollipop calls them priority notifications) is convenient during regular use of the phone but is annoying as hell when I'm playing a full screen game or watching a movie. I can't find any settings to configure this feature. I don't want to disable all notifications for the messaging apps, I just want to either disable the feature or disable it when a specific app is running. I think we're missing the options for priority notifications that stock lollipop comes with. Anyone know?
I don't see the notifications that come from the top. U use gpe?

Having come from a long line of Samsung devices previously, I'm used to having a QuickSettings bar along the top of my notification tray, rather than having to hit the QuickSettings button to flip over to a big list of options.
I'm curious if there's a way to add this functionality to a Moto G (XT1031 Boost Mobile CDMA variant on 4.4.4).
I have full root and Xposed Framework installed and working. I know there's a handful of apps out there that claim to add a QuickSettings bar, but it appears all they actually do is add a persistent notification with buttons and set it to a high priority so it usually appears at the top of the notification tray. However, these can be accidently dismissed by other means, and it's a pain to try to get them to come back without rebooting sometimes.
I'm looking to see if there's a simple way to tweak my rom to make the buttons from QuickSettings appear at the top of the notification tray. I used GravityBox KK to make the QuickSettings tiles small enough to fit five across each row, which would be ideal if I can get the first row to appear at the top of the Notification tray, with the ability to expand to show the rest of the tiles, similar to Samsung TouchWiz roms on the Galaxy S4/S5/Note 3 JB/KK systems.
My current ROM and system info:
Android Version: 4.4.4 (Stock Moto G, Deodexed, non-GPE)
Device: "Falcon CDMA" XT1031 Boost Mobile variant
Bootloader Unlocked with PhilZ Touch 6.58.7/CWM 6.0.5.1 Recovery, Root with SuperSU, Xposed Framework, GravityBox KK
You'd better try Power Toggles app. It was fantastic, when I was on 4.4.x
Good old times
Hi! I just got my new LG G4 a few days ago, and I would like to know if there is an easy way to get weather information (preferably via widget) in the lockscreen of Android 6.0. My phone is not rooted, and at this moment I do not intend to do so, either.
I know this can be achieved with alternative lock screens, but as far as I know, those lock screens do not allow me to use the camera in a safe session while the phone remains locked, and this feature is a must for me. So, if anyone knows of a replacement lockscreen that allows this, then please let me know.
Thanks!
No one knows?
Well, you can always use Google now to find that info. Just say "Ok google, what's the weather like today?" (need to have google now installed and voice trigger activated)
The LG G4's lock screen itself has the animations of weather when there is high intensity of rain, fog or storm out there. That's really an awesome feature.
If you still want to see exact numbers on your lock screen, you can get any app that puts the info on your notification bar. Naturally, the notification appears on lock screen on g4 so from there you can get it....
Hope it helps

Thanks a lot! I can't get the weather animation on the lock screen. Does it only appear with a particular lock method (swipe, PIN, etc.)? Or with a particular swipe effect?
As for an app that puts the info on the notification bar, wouldn't that make the notification light blink constantly? Also, wouldn't that prevent the phone from sleeping and thus consume much more battery?

Hey,
So many questions at once! Will answer one by one
You will get the weather animation when the weather is intense, like its raining out there or fog is there. Not for the general temperatures, but for the unusual ones.
The option can be enabled in Settings > Lock Screen > Weather Animations.
For the App that puts info on notification Bar, you have the option to disable notification light for a particular app. You can disable the notification light for the weather app, however some would prefer that light keep blinking 24x7
No, notifications do not prevent phone from sleeping. Understand it this way: when you get messages on any app, say whatsapp or facebook messenger, you get notifications. But does that prevent phone from sleeping or consumes extra battery? no. Similarly, this app will just be getting hourly updates from server just like you getting messages on whatsapp. So Standby mode won't be affected.

I do not have that setting I have not done much to the phone since I got it. I updated it to 6.0, and I am using Lightning Launcher instead of the LG one. Could any of those things prevent me from seeing that option in settings?

Ok, I understand. Though, I see that my lockscreen has space for 2 notifications at a time, so I guess that if I receive an sms and I have a calendar event, the weather notification will be hidden, right? Oh, well, at least it is better than not having the notification at all.

Well Mate, I completely understand your situation.
Unfortunately, unlocking G4 isn't possible and at MM, rooting is not possible too (as of now).
Else I am sure custom roms can provide you all that you want with minimal effort.

And yes, you need to use LG launcher along with weather app from LG.
Anyways, LG launcher is quite stable and once you customize it with your preferences, its actually better than any other launcher out there. It allows you to switch off screen on double tap, the folders are quite good and customization, you can uninstall apps directly from drawer...in short its a good launcher.
I myself preferred Google now launcher earlier before having G4 but G4's launcher is really good.
I have an old app called Weatherbug Elite. It has the option of keeping live weather info in the notification bar. With it turned on the temperature is always displayed and when you slide open the notification bar there is a panel of weather info. This same panel shows on the lock screen via notifications. It does not keep the phone awake or blink the light. If there are several notifications it compresses on the lock screen them and you can expand them with a slide.
This app is no longer available, I got it as a free app of the day from Amazon a long time ago. There must be other apps that do the same thing though.

Thanks for the info! I'll try to track it down. Still, I do not understand why Google nerfed the lockscreen so much in the last versions of Android.
