Activity Launcher - Verizon LG G4

tap icon>activity>all>settings>knockon- change screen tap option
tap icon>activity>all>settings>settings utilities>change properties>TMO, confirm- brings up oem unlock/lock option in dev options
Ran into this little app, and because of others posts, I know you can do the 2 above things with it. Free at google play.
My question is do others know any other goodies that would be beneficial? Things VZW has disabled or hidden, LG things I might like to use.........
LG G4 VS986/13B, non-rooted

You can use activity launcher to run the call reject settings and block calls which Verizon stupidly disabled.

Activity Launcher -> Phone -> com.android.phone.CallRejectActivity

I downloaded the activity launcher but it only give the option of the launcher and home, no phone. Any other suggestions?

I agree, on top of hiding the knock-on disable menu.

Only see Google Now / QMEMO on home swipe menu

Hi,
I only see Google Now and QMEMO icons on my LG-D885 but I've seen screens where there's the voice app and another on it.
Can I add options to it somehow?
have you disabled or frozen the voice app?

Nope, I'm rooted but I've not used titanium or xposed/xposed apps as yet for tweaking etc.I did flash a new build of firmware (10f) and can't recall if the other apps were showing in the swipe menu prior.
It's no big deal, just a curiosity. I don't even use the apps that are missing either.

Long press on shortcuts of notification bar not opening more settings.

Any possibilities of long pressing on shortcuts of notification bar will open more settings ? For example if i keep pressing on WIFI shortcut it should open WIFI settings. I have not rooted my phone yet. Its running on 6.0.1. This is normally available in HTC & SAMSUNG phones.

For Wi-Fi and Bluetooth you can click on the title below the icon and it will expand to show networks and devices as well as a more settings button. At least that's what I remember of Android M. I also remember being able to long press the icons to enter the settings for the toggle. Maybe that's just for the other buttons like cellular data.

Thanks for reply. I agree those little links below WIFI and BT opens quick setting in same notification window. Then there is more setting link to open full setting options. But that is not available for location services and other shortcuts.
Also those shortcuts are hardly manageable. Only few shortcuts can be added or deleted which is also under beta. Customization option is not available. Hard to believe for 6.0 version of android.

It's "fixed" on Android N. So you have that to look forward to in October or whenever they fully release it. It's also probably available in a custom ROM if you want to go that route.

Hopefully they will fix in Android N. My Nexus 5X still under warranty. Is it worth rooting Nexus ?

Smart Bulletin

Hey all, I have a bit of a conundrum. Today I was digging through some hidden activities with activity manager, and I noticed that several functions from the g4 and g5 are found in the settings activities (for example, the smart cover, notification LEDs, and a few others). Activating most of them provide no effect, as I'm assuming they were disabled from use. However, looking in the LG home 4.0, I saw an activity called smart bulletin. And for those who don't know, it's the equivalent of the Google now page for LG apps. However, I cannot access any of the features, but it does appear on the home screen. Is there a method for enabling the use of this( perhaps through all sideloading or other means)? Also, as far as some of these hidden features go, is there any way to activate those? I have the k425 on 7.0 nougat.

Download Nova launcher and add an activities widget, when the screen to select activity appears, expand the selections for homescreen and long press on smart bulletin, when it's launched, activate it and then you can close Nova launcher. You don't have to select Nova as default homescreen though.

I didn't have to use nice to activate it; as a I mentioned earlier, I use activity launcher instead. It's activated, and it appears, but there's no options for it. It's as though LG simply removed the apps to make the feature work, and didn't fully remove this feature

Assist & Voice input

Hi to all!
Simply question: I want to remove the google assistant in the bottom corners of the homescreen, so i go settings>apps & notifications>default apps>assist & voice input>assist app and i select none and till here nothing to say. The problem is that everytime i reboot or switch off the phone, google assistant return as default app instead of "none" and it's a lot weird. There's a way to definitely remove the app? i don't want to uninstall or disable it, only remove from the corners. Maybe a fake app to put there instead of google. Thank you!

If you're rooted, just freeze it with titaniumbackup. If not rooted, use adb to disable.
Edit... N/m Check the launcher settings? I use nova launcher so never seen it.
Which os are you on?
when I follow that route (settings>apps & notifications>default apps>assist & voice input>assist app) I just have Google, no option for "none".
i use the MS launcher and I've never had the Google assistant on the home screen, switched back to the 1+ default and it wasn't there either
I'm on stock oos 10.0.12, I've taken a screen.. and I'm using Nova launcher

I've said I don't want to disable it because I think it could give problems
EDIT: See now from PC that your sentence was crossed out. I'm using nova too, is there a setting inside launcher that i don't see?

I'm not sure.. I have mine set to 'none' as I don't use the assistant. I haven't had any issues. In fact, it's been that way since I set up the phone some 9 months ago.

Question Disable news on left most home screen?

Has anyone found an option to disable the news on the left most home screen? I looked at the home setting and feel like I'm missing something.

Just goto settings -> Apps -> App management and Disable Google app.
That also disables the assistant which I want to keep.

One solution is to Disable the Google app and re-enable. This will fix your Google Assistant not working issue and news will be disabled untill next root.
