Wow thank you m8.
Answer like from LG employee
My idea was how come that some playstore apps appear in the dual window that are not LG apps...

[Q] Today in History Widget on Launcher Pro?

I know it's an HTC widget, but is there any way to use the "Today in History" widget on Launcher pro? I'm kind of a hitsory buff and love this thing
Nope, sorry. Only works when using Sense.
Damn, I was really hoping there was a way to get around this, oh well. Thanks.

The dev this on his page on Jan 20th:
Look out for another update soon (maybe next week?) with a cool new addition for LauncherPro Plus users!

Still, though, I haven't seen the cool new addition that he might have been referring to with an update. I'm a new purchaser of LP and might be completely out of line but it seems a little bit like dangling a carrot.
I have a feeling LP is brewing up some really good stuff, it's been quite awhile since the last update.

[Q] Edge screen panels

I know its early days and not many people have a Note Edge yet. I really hope someone can help me out on this when they do?
My Note Edge (Korean model), does not have the Twitter, Yahoo sports ticker or the yahoo news panels. This is very frustrating because I was really looking forward to these. I wonder once its available in the US, if someone would be able to extract these panels from their roms somehow?
Im stuck with some panels showing Koren information from a source called Daum.
By the way, there's a new panel available for download - its for the S Planner, I love it! It shows upcoming appointments. Only downside is that it will only show appointment the day.
Same boat. In Korea... Daum ticker.
Hopefully something changes
Yeah, waiting for something to change soon. :fingers-crossed:
Well i have my phone but the problem now is root.
I wont be able to pull the ticker from my phone without rooting it first. I would try to note 4 method but i dont wanna be the first to try it lol.

Thanks for even considering, mate. I wouldn't expect you to start messing with a phone you just purchased for huge amount of money.
I might try to root mine if there are some step by instructions. I am just not very familiar with rooting since I haven't done one for ages.

Ok root explore has access to the system, but its in read only mode. So i can copy that, just not sure what the edge panel apk is called. Ill check it out later on tonight and see if i can find something
Then maybe for the time being it can resign it and able you to install it as a apk vs system apk.
Not sure its been a while since i done that.

For what it's worth when I had the Docomo version of the edge I rooted via some Japanese dev sites that got it done very quickly. And to add custom recovery I was able to use my own tmobile TWRP file and it added custom recovery no problem. So I'm sure it's a very similar process because they basically same sans the edge screen

I tried that explorer after your message I could see the Cocktail Ssysrem apk but it doesn't list any individual widgets. (Image attached).
Phone is full of sk telecom apps.
Why did bloody Samsung or sk telecom put these useless Daum ticker panels on the phone I got??? Why couldn't they just leave the Yahoo panels on it???
How do I get hold of these panels???
you're really not missing anything with the twitter app it only shows trending terms with it had your timeline

What app controls the panel manager?
I bet it's just build into it.

I think it's something called Cocktail bar apk. I posted a screenshot on page 1. I'm not 100% if the edge panel apps are there though?
Thanks.
I'll be rooting mine and perusing for you guys later
Can someone please create another quick access panel? I have the AT&T version, and it would be great to have another quick access panel.

Yea the frist one is for short cuts.

I'm sure soon enough someone will make another panel that will be for custom short cuts.

i have a korean 915k anyone knows how to delete those korean panel ?
The G3 had a secret menu that allowed you to change some build.prop properties or with an editor. You could simply allow dual screen on all apps which isn't allowed stock.
I edited a lot of the G3 environment through build.prop. Is there something similar for Samsung devices? Not sure if it's on all devices or not.

Not sure about deleting unless you have root access.
I am not rooted yet. I have disabled these panels in my 915S.
The apk you need to disable is 'portalservicewidget' this under the application manager > All.
If you want to disable the useless quick access panel than disable the Live UX apk.

Build.prop is on all android devices. Also samsung has CSC settings you can change to effect some settings.
CSC is in /system/csc/

LG G4 Stock apps for G3

I thought that we could install the new updated LG launcher, music app etc, if anyone will have it, once it's released.
So if you got any of the new apk's post it here in the future!

Jesus Christ, does LG employ only first graders in the UI design group? These are even more gaudy than the G3 versions. No subtlety or refinement whatsoever.

Cant agree more. The LG UI and notification sounds suck! Why the hell they make "Life is good" as default ringtone & alarm?? All clock alarm, sms and calling sounds just so annoying.

Thanks for the link, but the link on setting permissions is incomprehensible. I'm certain the person who made the 27 second instruction video knows what he's doing, but most of us can't follow. Please help us who are not quite as brilliant.

Hidden Menu benefits

Hello guys, has the title says, what benefits I can get from the hidden menu on the G4 H811?
I recently turned OFF Fast dormancy mode and I see tons of options like changing bands on LTE or even LTE aggregation.
Any options I can turn on OFF that give positive results?

Not really and sometimes launching those activities outside their intended original source can cause all kinds of crazy **** to happen.. now you can use the app quick shortcut maker and make a direct shortcut to all kinds of system settings and a bunch that you cannot even get to MV system settings menus which is really cool like a direct shortcut to the usage manager that shows your battery running apps and data usage in a single section altogether that's not in the regular settings and all kinds of other settings and some that have been disabled by the carrier… be careful and for god sakes do not touch the system shutdown monitor activity because I saw someone take weeks to figure out how to pool their phone back out from a solid brick where the power wouldn't even come on at all just by clicking launch on that activity lol
Through my ancient eyes comes the certainty of decay... LG G4 & L 70

I feel ya man better safe than sorry huh lol. But there is some cool stuff mainly making direct Shortcuts to specific system settings is what I do and settings and features the carrier disabled which most always disable something (verizon being the worst, control freaks). Like I can reenable stock launcher themes on my g4 verizon cut out, using the activities. The app QUICK SHORTCUT MAKER is a priceless tool and has practically no limits. Will even let you try the activity in the app just use comon sense and don't hesitate to ask and if you need any other help pm me and I'll take a swing at it. Good luck

Does Dual apps usage enabled on LG G7?

Hi
I'm planning to pick this phone soon. However I use two WhatsApp accounts on my current phone Honor 8. Wanted to know if G7 supports dual apps? Can someone please confirm (if possible with screenshots)?
Even if not there. You can use parallel apps right

Read somewhere on this forum that even parallel space is not working on LG g7 for some reason. Also native support is always good to have than make it work thru a third party app.
Hence the query..
What you can do is create two accounts on the phone and use it that way

Btw i checked and can confirm postively that LG G7 despite having so many tweaks in its settings doesn't support dual apps..even parallel space crashes...

Hii Broo, sorry maybe its a little late, but right now icm using an app call island, it owrk on my g7plus u can download on playstore here is the link :
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island
hope this will help u.
On pie u can do this
It's not natively enabled on Oreo, but it is included in pie.
But you can use apps like Island, create dual apps, which works really well. I have been using Island for so many months for dual WhatsApp accounts. Works like a charm
Just upgrade to pie.. No nead for any apps or hacks..
