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)

Is there an online version of the kitchen? I ask because it is the last resort to get a fully functional Rom on my evo before I allow my daughter to have it other than using my nandroid of my original and unrooting.
I use a 64-bit system Windows 7. Done research and it says a 32-bit Java will work but that is false. I have spent from 9am until an hour ago (3:30pm here now) formating my hard-drive and reinstalled my OS because it didn't work. Still the kitchen doesn't find Java although I tried to instal a 32-bit version. Online is the only way I can do anything or I need a step-by-step on what I need to do to an apk where I can do it on my phone or I am in need of someone building a Rom. So.....is there one online?
What are you doing? Making a fully functional ROM? Why not take a stock rooted or a working GB ROM like reloaded?
Yea just get a stock 5.07 rooted rom. Not really sure what you're trying to do

I am letting my daughter have my Evo. She has been hardcore blackBerry but given their status she is wanting to try Android. I have flashed every Rom on the first 10 pages of Development and what she has settled on as far as wanting most is Energy Rom. There are 3 problems stopping her from being totally happy with it. First is the 9016. After a lot of searching all I can find is it is tied to the Phone.apk. I have been unsuccessful at changing it out. The carousel shows only a grey screen when looking in Personalize but have been unsuccessful at getting the one from Mik3D installed and working since I know the one from that Rom works. The browser not going to mobile view and being to wide unless in landscape has been the only thing I have fixed. i used Root Explorer and deleted it and moved a basic stock in. Somehow it worked although the other things haven't. I had decided to try my hand at the kitchen to see if I could make the changes that way but it doesn't work on my PC regardless of what i try and believe me when I say I have taken extreme measures to make it work. So my hopes are that either someone can point me in the right direction on how to exchange an apk using only what tools I can find for my phone or in the direction of a kitchen online. For my phone I have installed: Root Explorer,File Manager and ZipSign2.

She's that picky? Tell her to get an iPhone. LOL
Even she is smart enough to know the first flip phone I ever purchased from Sprint way back when they finally got small enough to fit in your pocket is still better than the best Apple ever released.
However,with a little help I think I can make my life easier. I flashed Derp3D again and only 2 small things needed. First is the keyboard. How do I get the HTC back on and with dictionary? Last is how do I get the weather widget with sound? Those are the only things needed. Themes will be easy enough to handle.
Have you tried MikG v3.11 ? Uber Stable. Has a lot of Themes, and Mods available.

The newest Jellybread has the 9016 number blocked, or you can use Go SMS and blacklist it, plus everything else you mentioned works

The kitchen won't help you for fixing the things you want to fix )besides the fact that there isn't an online version). The kitchen just essentially makes it easier to do the things you're already doing. But EnergyROm is a Sense 3.5 ROM, which is not what the EVO natively comes with. So, there will ALWAYS be issues with it, like the VVM 9016 texts, no 4G, etc. And trying to swap things in from a Sense 3.0 ROM (Mik3D) will only cause more issues. I think you're going to have to "put your foot down" and let your daughter know she can either have a fully functional ROM that doesn't look exactly as she wants, or she can have the eye candy she wants without full functionality.
There are plenty of fully functional ROMs out there with a Sprint base that don't have the 9016 issue. Honestly, those all seem to be extremely minor issues to me. Sounds like you should just bite the bullet and get her an EVO LTE, lol.
I have seen a lot of good reviews of Kendall's ROM, though. But I'm going to assume that's not what your daughter is looking for. Sounds like she likes the look/widgets of Sense.
I remember back in the day I tried a sense 3.0 rom that didn't do the 9016 or whatever, but I don't see how that bugs her. Its just a text message that would only take 2 seconds to delete. When I ran those roms, it wasn't a big deal to me.
With the sense weather part, still didn't have a problem with that either. Just had to turn sound up.

Hi guys, I really respect and admire your work! I am becoming everyday more an android fan and xda has become my bible! Unfortunately, I don't know too much about development as I'm ending my degree in Zoology (Android is more like a hobby but I don't have much time now to sit and learn the basics about programming, scripts, development, etc since I have to end my studies first).
After flashing different ROMs as a sport, I came to an Idea of using the "Quick Glance" feature, and I realized it was a nice feature (not too important, since one can touch the power or home key and see the screen) but it has too few information for our power machines. I know it's just a "quick glance", but I wanted to know if it is possible to tweak the screen and add more info like icons of:
- Gmail/email app
- Whatsapp
- Facebook Messenger
- Hangouts
I think it would be even cooler to have the option of choosing which apps could appear there.
I've tried many different custom ROMs (based on TW) and I never found this option. Maybe it's too difficult and it's not worth the job, but I guess it can be made, maybe mixing something related with TeslaUnread and the QuickGlance screen. I read many think it's just a useless gimmick (I use almost always the home button too) so maybe there's a way to set this "quick glance" screen as lockscreen?
If any dev from a ROM team wants to use this for their next ROM I lend him all the credits for the idea, no problem with that!
Sorry if anybody posted this before (I searched before and couldn't find!) and if it's not in the right place! I read a lot but don't post too much
Thanks in advance!

I've been an avid Windows Phone user since it first came out as Windows Phone 7. Been with it through versions 7, 7.5, 7.8, 8 and finally some of 8.1. Unfortunately, 8.1 lost much of what made it unique, and has decided to become more like Android. To that I say this: If I'm using an OS "like Android" it makes PLENTY more sense to go with an actual Android phone.
So far, I really love my G3! The screen is brilliant (if slightly oversharpened, especially with text), the specs and physical dimensions are superb (coming from the chunk monster that was the Lumia 920) and the customizability is lots of fun.
That said, there are a few things I'd like to change. Assuming Android is as customizable as I think it is, most of them shouldn't be too inconceivable, though if they are, just tell me
1. A serious habit I've formed from using WP is holding the Back button to bring up the Open Apps view. Is there a way I can switch from the Android way (pressing the Overlapping Rectangles nav button) and make it so holding the Back nav buttion brings that view up?
2. Make it so backing out of an app also closes it. I am again very used to hitting the back button to close an app. This seems the least possible, since I'd guess it would involve affecting every app on a molecular level, requiring special coding.
3. Fix the oversharpened look of text. If text is zoomed in, it looks amazing. But even at a normal font size, text can look kind of gross from the over-sharpening. I think I saw somewhere that someone was saying they could lower the screen resolution to 1080p. Would that help? I wouldn't be opposed to trying it, since they said it also had a very positive effect on battery life, while not hurting the visuals too noticeably.
4. Set a separate notification sound for All E-mails and All Texts (again, much like WP does)
My phone is currently NOT rooted, but I would be willing to do so, if there are step-by-step tutorials available and ways to fix things should terrible accidents occur (I'm scared of bricking...)
Please help ease my transition into the wonderful world of Android
Well your probably not going to get such a warm welcome posting a question like this in the development section. Your gonna wanna move this post over to the q&a section

you can ask a mod to move it.
as for what you want, if you root and install xposed there is the g3 tweaks module (in this subforum) that can alter the action of longpressing on the nav buttons, so you can do #1 for multitasking iirc (i haven't changed any of those actions as i like the way they work out of the box.
there's a bunch of other tweaks in that app that can easily customize the phone with little to no risk of messing anything up.
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...
Hello all. I will be returning to a newish epic soon...hella missed this phone. I've got tons of old files from a couple years ago but I assume there has been lots of goodness put together since my epic got trashed. I've read lots of forums, dowloaded some files, yadaya but If there is still anyone out there using or developing for the epic, can you please give me some direction. Best way to root, from what I assume will be a stock phone. (still odin v3+1.85?) Also and more to the point of my question, Roms? Best roms that actually have valid download links? Thank you for your time if anyone actually reads this

I don't know how much advice I can give about what is "best", but I can tell you what I am still using on my "daily driver"...?
I try to keep up with the CM11 "Nightlies", and so right now I'm using the latest: cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip
The kernel (?) I'm using: notest-epicmtd-kk4-20140401-cma.zip
I make use of Link2SD app as far as juggling space for apps.
Somewhere along the way, the stock Android Messaging app just stopped working correctly for me (couldn't compose a new message - just greyed out - never could figure out what was wrong), so I've "Frozen" the stock Messaging app and installed the (almost identical) SoftCoil Messaging app.
The stock Android browser did not seem to perform very well for me, so I went looking for a "lighter footprint" browser - right now I am trying out the "UC Mini" browser, and so far so good (?) although I still don't rely on using the browser that much, so maybe I haven't done solid testing of it...
I'm not a super-whiz at this, but if there's anything I can answer to help, I'll try. Maybe you'll have some ideas or find out some things that are more up-to-date than what I'm doing...?
Glad to see I'm not the only one posting in this "Ghost Town" these days...
(Although to be honest, I did just get the letter from Sprint about the discontinuation of the WiMax network... so the months are ticking away as for how long I will stick with this, too... soon as I buy a new phone for my lady, I will probably inherit her Nexus 4 and finally say goodbye to the beloved Epic 4G...)
Thank you very much for taking the time to share that info with me. I just got my new Epic about 20 min ago and can't wait to get some CM goodness going. I really didn't expect a reply to this at all so thank you again. I'll post again if I come across something worth sharing.
Oh also give puffin browser a try, I use it on my Tab 2 and its pretty damn fast!

Howdie!
I see you are one of the last people in this forum actively doing things. If I have an old Epic lying around that I want to use as a gaming only system--doesn't need any phone support, which is the most stable rom for that feature? I'm not looking to strip a carrier radio out or anything, just don't care if works or not, I plan to disable everything but wifi.
Suggestions--if you don't mind?
TIA
