[MENTION=2796163]eejimen[/MENTION] As this guy said!
[G2 General] jonstrong:
The fact that the built-in theming capability covers home screens, fonts, nav bar and even the clock / weather widget. The potential here is really excellent. I'm hoping more of the folks who build themes for Nova, Apex, Go, etc will port their themes to LGHome Launcher as well, and then go the extra mile and theme the clock / weather widget as well. Considering that the same LGHome theme will work on multiple LG devices, this would open up the potential for several million new users and customers for what is, essentially, existing artwork.

Loving the stock launcher and its potential.
[G2 General] eejimen:
Thanks for the answer. I clicked thanks to both of you guys.
[G2 General] :
add multiple cities to weather app and then you can scroll up down on widget to go to different city right on the widget :) whoohooo

Wowsers, I had the LG G2 and thought it was an awesome phone, but never got used to the button placement. I've had a nexus 5 for a while, but am considering going back to the g2 again...
[G2 General] Life Engineer:
Another delightful discovery:

Install unicon app from play store which includes a xposed module that you enable! Once done, you can download any nova/apex theme and apply it and theme the whole icons!

The biggest advantage is that not only the launcher icons are themed but the app icons themselves! ie even in share buttons and everywhere else! (popups or references to apps). That is AWESOME and coherent!

The main disappointment is that it does not theme 2 icons: app drawer icon and calendar icon probably because it changes daily to show current date.

I use DCikonz which is the best theme I have ever used.

Edit: i am talking about stock LG launcher here!
[G2 General] jonstrong:
Wow...this might finally be a reason for me to root. I must have flashed my GNex 200 or 300 times, but still haven't felt the need yet with the G2. But...if I can use my favorite themes...I have DCikonz too, and a few from Samer Zayer... That would be sweet.

Only hesitation is that I'd like an easy option to get back close enough to total stock to accept upcoming OTAs. I didn't think twice about this with the GNex, as I could easily wipe it, root, unroot, flash the living daylights out of it with tools or totally manually with ADB. Feels a lot iffier with the G2...lots of good info, but seemingly also a lot of folklore, guessing, and some confusion about exact steps to follow re root, loki, unroot, flash back to stock, etc. Maybe I need to reread all the threads. I'd just like to see the whole process defined as well as we had it with the GNex.

Curious : if I root and install exposed, and mod a theme with unicon, is that enough so an OTA will be rejected? Not a deal killer, but it could simplify my decision.
[G2 General] mdfritz:
If you root, you will still get the ota notification, and it will download it automatically, but if you agree to install it, it will nuke your FOTA partition, thus it won't update your phone (and you will be frantically searching xda whilst pulling out your hair trying restore your device from being stuck in recovery mode).

If you're rooted and want it to reject the ota and not notify you about it and not automatically download it to avoid the risk accidental installation, then simply freeze LGFOTA and LGUpdateCenter.
[G2 General] Life Engineer:
Not completely true!

I am rooted and still tried to get an OTA but after rebooting the phone prompted me that Cannot update, phone is rooted"!

So whatever I did I could not get the OTA.

OSP

did anyone see this feature for G2

http://kuwaitiful.com/tech-gadgets/best-lg-g2-feature-one-talks/
[G2 General] Life Engineer:
It's a good feature but I would never use it!

To me it's useless!

I originally bought such a powerful smartphone to replace my PC/laptop and not the opposite!

In fact now I rarely turn ON my laptop!
[G2 General] mdfritz:
Thanks, just to clarify, the FOTA issue is with rooted phones using TWRP recovery.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

I haven't used it yet, but one really nice thing about it is that in the unfortunate event that you break your screen, you'll able to manage your phone until it's fixed.
[G2 General] votinh:
Haven't tried that but thanks to bring it up.

Will do and see how it goes.
[G2 General] jonstrong:
I'd love to give it a try, but apparently it's been removed from the menus in the Verizon version of the phone...
[G2 General] vPro97:
It's really awesome! It's actually one of the reasons I got this phone. Only "drawback" is just that the phone is turned on. I would prefer it to be off when I use it on my computer.
[G2 General] :
to clarify even further its with all rooted phones using custom recoveries so also cwm....
[G2 General] robogo1982:
It actually happens with any recovery that isn't stock.
[G2 General] jonstrong:
Seems that custom recoveries cannot, in general, process vendor OTAs, even when the ROM is stock, but just rooted. I don't remember people with soft bricking problems from doing this with the GNex...but I recall that I couldn't simply FLASH a vendor OTA directly...was this just issues with scripted asserts, due to rooting?

I'm just wondering what changes would have to be made that would allow a custom recovery to flash a vendor OTA without creating bootloops or a bricking problem.
[G2 General] Leoneldolara:
Yes thanks to your post I order all my apps con folders in the app drawer, so they are all categorized now. I think LG has made a great job observing what we wanted from other launchers. I used NOVA prime on Moto Razr i and now I am not needing it anymore :)
[G2 General] android404:
Typing on the best phone ever (the G2) is like typing with two index fingers on an unresponsive miniature hardware keyboard. If your phone replaced your pc, you're doing something wrong ;)

Because of the three simultaneous languages, SwiftKey works much better for me; is predictions are great as well. Still: typing on a real keyboard is twenty times faster. If it isn't for you, you need to learn typing.

You really should. As powerful and efficiency-enhancing our phones might be, typing on their ridiculously small keyboards with one or two fingers is worse than a 1920's typewriter. Saying that the on screen feature is useless (as the christian fanatic did) is ignorant.
[G2 General] Steamer86:
The G2 hates AES on Technicolor router combos(3.5 MB/s down limit)TKP only and it flies.
[G2 General] votinh:
Just gave it a try last nite.

Firstly, have to download and install the OSP executable file from LG site.

Secondly, have to reboot BOTH laptop and the LG :( in order for it to works.

Thirdly, the look isn't so sharp 'cuz my laptop screen size is big, so it stretches out.

Fourthly, it lags so much, virtually 5 to 7 seconds delay.

It is a nice feature but I don't think I'm going to use it.

The lag could well be an issue with my network. Both laptop and LG got signal strength of excellent ('cuz just one step away from the router) but the lappy got 150Mbps rate while the LG only showed 5 to 18 Mbps. Weird
[G2 General] vPro97:
The screen resolution can be changed by maximizing the window. I don't know how big your laptop is, but mine is 15.6. I have posted a screenshot from my computer how it looks. It's quite crisp and clear. If you really want to try it out, you have to put some time in it for it to work ;)

I see 1 second delay and I'm on a 4 mbps network. Might be some issue with the drivers.
[G2 General] votinh:
Was it stretched to full screen on your 15.6" laptop?

Mine is also 15.6" and isn't that crisp.
[G2 General] l33t p1mp:
I messed around with the On Screen Phone thing and its really nice! Response time is less than a second, its about the same delay as using an Apple TV! Very nice feature, I definitely will be using this a lot more; its super convenient when texting someone back while using the computer. I hate having to grab my phone and stop what I'm doing on the computer to check my phone.
[G2 General] vPro97:
It was stretched vertically but not horizontally. It kept is 16:9 format. Please note that the resolution of my laptop is only 1368x???

DIVX registration - demo videos on G2

Just discovered something new (for me at least) that I hadn't seen on the G2 yet (I'm on Verizon Wireless - VS980).

If you open stock video player, you'll see a couple of demo videos that you can play -- but don't worry about the quality just yet. Tap the menu button at the lower right of the player, and then tap on the bottom item in the popup menu (it will refer to registration of the DIVX player).

The registration process is a bit funky, but with some patience you can get it done and the results are worth it. The DIVX website isn't designed for mobile browsers, and I found it a bit cumbersome trying to create my free login account there on the phone. Instead, I followed directions and created my login / account on my PC. The site then provides a link to let you download a prepared DIVX registration video that you have to play on your G2. Download the file that the site provides -- you'll likely have to do this on a PC (I did, and that's what they suggest), and then transfer it to your G2 (via Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, email, whatever -- I used Google Drive).

Open the video player again and play this registration video. I found that it took a couple of tries -- at first, it was very blurry. I went into Application Manager and forced a shutdown, and then started it up again. Then it had no trouble playing the registration video (very short). After this -- try playing the two demo videos -- look best landscape of course -- full screen. Absolutely stunning! Absolutely gorgeous playback.

Enjoy your DIVX supported video player!

[G2 General] mdfritz:
I am amazed at how the sensor hardware differentiates brightness detection from proximity detection. For example, knock knock to turn on screen doesn't work when there is something near the proximity sensor (like the inside of your pocket, or the palm of your hand when the phone is inverted), but it still works in zero lux (or total darkness) conditions, which is convenient at night.

You have to admit, the g2 engineers thought of everything. They eliminated pocket dialing or accidental screen on in the pocket (my old s3 would turn on and stay on in my pocket, overheat and kill the battery charge that way), without compromising the convenience of screen activation in darkness.
[G2 General] eejimen:
Thank you. One of my nit picks for this phone was the small notification area.
[G2 General] robogo1982:
With Xposed you can remove the volume and brightness sliders, too. :)
[G2 General] trunks527:

If you change an icon of an app on your homescreen you can hit the menu button and select another theme just for that icon. So you can mix icons from different themes on stock launcher.

So I just noticed the Verizon version is a little different than others. The buttons arent the same and the camera has a silver border. I think it looks nicer but the buttons look a little smaller from the sides and harder to press.

So are the buttons part of the back piece and if I put on a different back piece it would be different or is the Verizon version just manufactured differently? Either way I'm probably getting Verizon because its cheaper but Itd be nice to know if I can switch that out by simply changing the back cover thanks.

Ok thanks. They look slicker in my opinion but it looks like the volume juts out a little. It would've been nice if they'd kept them same color but I'm sure I can live with it. I'll probably get a case and I'm guessing that makes pressing the buttons easier since it'll cover everything but them.

Alright thanks. I'm getting the white version. I'll stop spamming now :p and thanks for all the help guys:thumbup:

I was hoping I could replace the buttons because they look nice but don't really mach the phone. Also I like how the other versions are flat but the Verizon one comes up a little. I was just worried the phone wouldn't lay flat on its back. But it looks like it's deep enough not to be a problem. Hopefully I'll have the phone today
