Guys can somebody please tell me whats wrong with my front camera why does it look like this. It didnt use to be like this idk why is all pink around it. Idk what happened i dont remember moving anything on settings. Help please.

Edit: oh nvm i found out the reason why .. I turned of the flash and it went back to normal lol
[Sprint LG G3] Pdoubleo315:
Greenify helped a lot, but it still gets hot I think it's Pandora or viper4android it has to be them
[Sprint LG G3] wojo797:
I def think its viper...I just uninstalled the driver and rebooted...so I will see how the battery from here on out is with greenify and viper uninstalled...make sure u go into settings and uninstall the driver if your going to try this route
[Sprint LG G3] Pdoubleo315:
Will do , can't wait to see results :)
[Sprint LG G3] Pdoubleo315:
This may be the wrong place to post this but does anyone know how I can change the color of a widget, for example if I wanted to change Pandora to match the blue ?

So you guys have gone in and disabled all throttling, temperature protection, and boosted your FPS to 60, and you're not seeing overheating? Not *just* root.
[Sprint LG G3] JHumBL3:
So I downloaded the G3 Tweaksbox from play store and activated it via xposed and some of the tweaks work. I even payed for the full version but I Do Not Have The Brightness Slider portion to enable. Only the option to house it. Ive tried to hide it then reboot and unhide then reboot and still no bueno.

Am I missing something?
[Sprint LG G3] durandetto:
Same problem here. I've tried everything and still nothing.
[Sprint LG G3] blmvxer:
Some are experiencing issues and others aren't. And its doesn't seem to be specific to Dalvik or ART with those tweaks and the success or issues of those who have tweaked.
[Sprint LG G3] kingsamo:
So, strange issue that has only happened since rooting: whenever I have a cable plugged into the audio jack it will arbitrarily pause the music and start the voice command app. Anyone else having this problem? Maybe it's because I'm using rocket as my music player? I went through the whole thread and didn't see it mentioned.

Also, thanks for everyone who worked or is continuing to work on this. You make it so easy for those of us who have no idea what we're doing to mess with our phones and then coming running back when things don't work.
[Sprint LG G3] 't-Smalle:
In the G3 Tweaksbox forum he mentioned he accidentally left it out and it will be back in the next release.

I'm gonna venture to guess that without a single gasket seal or port covered, that it's not a water resistant phone.
[Sprint LG G3] thewind730:
If the circuit board has been coated then it very well could be water resistant, I don't think I'll be placing mine in a sink full of water but that video makes me feel a little better about if an accident were to happen
[Sprint LG G3] mkc90:
So what if out of no where we have a software update ..does root go away ?can we at least do the update. With root
[Sprint LG G3] SilverZero:
Golden rule of root: Don't take the OTAs. You never know what they'll patch behind the scenes. Wait until it's verified safe or released as a flashable zip by the dev community.

Does anyone know when a Recovery will be available? Or at least know where I can look for that legit info??
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
It's being worked on. Look for the bootloader bounty thread in ATT G3. thecubed is working on it. He gave a status update about a week or two ago and said they are slowly making progress. Another month or so is my uneducated guess.
[Sprint LG G3] leszakk:
Never ask when...... Its impossible to answer... Try instead to ask something like "what is the status of the boot loader unlock?". It will yield you better results
[Sprint LG G3] durandetto:
Check the att original development thread for updates on the boot loader. The devs working on it are on att.

True. This is my 6th phone in 2 years. Didn't break any. Just can't help myself.
[Sprint LG G3] ScrapMaker:
When you can sell the phone for 80% of what you paid for it in 6 months, why not? People waste money on much more idiotic stuff, and phones are something you use almost every waking moment.

Hello just a quick question. I rooted with jcases root app. Now if i need to factory reset through settings will it take with no problems. If anyone has tried this please share your experience.

Thanks
[Sprint LG G3] thznutz87:
No root will stay . factory reset doesn't touch system partition. You have to reflash with lg tool.
[Sprint LG G3] Skid71:
It's my understanding yes, the factory reset will take.

HOWEVER

If you need to re-root using Stump Root, then you should use the LGFlash Tool. Basically, Stump Root works on the premise of a pristine device. A factory reset may cause Stump Root to not work.

If I were in your shoes, if planning on re-rooting with Stump, use the LGFlash tool to go back to stock. Then use Stump again.
[Sprint LG G3] mbwsutherland:
I just want to factory reset to sell the phone. Dont matter much if i have root after or not. Just dont want to throw the phone into a boot loop in doing a standard factory reset. Sorry for being unclear

Thanks
[Sprint LG G3] JustusIV:
I factory reset after rooting. No issues. I believe root stayed.
[Sprint LG G3] chconser:
Anyone know if it matters if I'm running ART prior to using this root method or should I switch back to Dalvik beforehand?
[Sprint LG G3] tenchi_kioto:
I was running art beforehand no problems. After stump rebooted the phone it switched it to Dalvik
[Sprint LG G3] DuhWinning:
I'm interested in rooting but mostly for wifi tether. I have always used android-wifi-tether with my other phones. Will that work with the stump root on the g3? Thanks for the info.
[Sprint LG G3] thznutz87:

Thank you for the info! I'll give this a shot when I have time tomorrow.

Works great! Much better than the USB tether from clockwork mod... And not only that it's not USB but the connection is flawless so far.
[Sprint LG G3] Rally187:
hey guys i was wondering if there was any news the bootloader issue. I know there is a thread around here somewhere that is tracking progress of all variants i believe but i cant seem to locate it. probably looking right at it. If someone would be so kind as to show me to the door i would appreciate it.
[Sprint LG G3] Mahapederdon:
One of em is under Verizon g3 general. It's the bounty thread. Man were all so anxious about this. I would love to see some news also but don't wanna stir the pot by asking. Keep those fingers crossed mayn. Haha.

[Sprint LG G3] jryanvt:
Just like a ton of my apps via titanium backup, I think my brain is frozen. What is the native Sprint tether app? I followed the directions in the other xda post to enable tethering, but I don't know which app to use now.
[Sprint LG G3] DuhWinning:
Open System Settings. Under Wireless Networks open "More." Turn on Wi-Fi hotspot.

It does seem to be working fine with Sprint, but I still got the warning that I may incur "extra charges" when turning it on. So I'm hoping I won't get a surprise with my bill!
[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
When I run the native tether app it doesn't give me that warning. I've been doing it for a couple days now and running some Internet heavy programs on there.... Flawless connection!! Although my phone has started to do random reboots. Not sure if it's from that, but it was after enabling that feature. My phone will freeze and restart about once or twice a day. Does anyone else who tethers via this method experience any issues like that?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Adding of extra files til unlock/exploit

I really don't know where else to put these so it's as good a place as any.

Until we get unlock/exploit, some of us want to improve our phones now. I'm going to open this up to anybody that wants to post files they've modified to fix/improve our phone.

Here's the requirements:

1. Post what the file will do

2. What we need to do to install it

3. The precautions to take, ie permissions etc, and/or if the file will cause a bootloop if installed wrong.

I'll add these to the OP with a link to the post with the instructions.

This may seem trivial, but there are some files that people just don't want/know how to fix. So if we can make it easier for everyone....Why not?

Disclaimer: YOU ADD THESE FILES AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Edit: Added ext SD Card fix - This will fix the issue many people are having reading/writing to the ext SD without using an app.

Extract the file, place in /system/etc/permissions, make sure permissions are rw-r-r, reboot. If you make a mistake it WILL NOT end in a bootloop. Just make sure permissions are rw-r-r.

Added condensed build.prop - This is the stock build.prop condensed so you can add up to 93 characters in a stock file browser. Meaning that every letter, space, number, line is a character. To make sure it is saved in full, save it, then look at the last line and make sure it's all there. I also fixed the LG dalvik heap mistake, and enabled ALL APPS split window.

Extract the file, RENAME the file to build.prop, place in /system, set permissions to rw-r-r, check permissions again, reboot. This WILL bootloop if permissions are wrong.

Edit 2: Added links to G3 Tweakbox and XCam
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Here is the mixer_paths.xml - this increases the volume on Speaker, Headphones, and Headphones when used as an AUX. I went smaller than most probably, to keep the speakers safer, but, THIS CAN RUIN YOUR SPEAKERS!!!! You have been warned!

Extract zip, place in /system/etc, fix permissions to rw-r-r, delete original, rename to "mixer_paths", CHECK PERMISSIONS AGAIN, reboot. This WILL bootloop if permissions are wrong!!

These directions are the safest way to change these files. If you follow them you'll have no issues

THANKS! NOW IM DEAF! LOL. No really thanks though. Viper4Android and this tweak make for an unstoppable dub step force on my phone. Winning.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
They should be considering the G2 softkey apks are compatible, although they don't have all the icons because the G3 has more features.

As for transparent softkeys, I've seen a bunch of softkey threads but not sure on this one. Doing a g2/g3 softkey search should yield some results.
[Sprint LG G3] goatman101:
Thank you for making this and providing the step by step instructions. I just completed the process without a hitch. The headphone volume was way too low for me, but now it sound perfect when using it in AUX mode connected to my car stereo. Whoever has this phone should complete this mod.

[Sprint LG G3] Mahapederdon:
If I replace the system/ect mixer. XML with my own inside your zip can I flash it or do I need to change something else. For some reason mine is way louder than yer loudest one. Audeze headphones and the cheap Phillips in ears I have both seem to need a ton of volume. Or I'm just going deaf.

[Sprint LG G3] skye206:
The final mixer path headphones sounds great but the aux is extremely low now.

The stock mixer aux volume is already good.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Head phone and aux are tied together.... Kinda. It all depends when you plug in the cord. The volume increase is the same with both on the phone. If you look when increasing the volume, you'll see headphones on both. So aux shouldn't be any worse.

I do notice, and others have said that this phone has issues with aux. One time it works, unplug it, plug it back in, and it won't. Cables are an issue also.
[Sprint LG G3] skye206:
Yeah I seen that. Its weird idk everything sounds loud and distortion free but the aux is very low at max volume now. Ile try to reflash the final mixer. I've never experienced the issues others have had with the aux.
[Sprint LG G3] skye206:
I reflashed the final mixer path, still aux is very low. I just flashed stock mixer path and its back to normal.

Would it be possible to create a zip for me with just the headphones volume increases to the same as the final mixer ? I love the volume but its just not good in my car.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Sure. Do you just want headphones? Or do you want the phone speaker also
[Sprint LG G3] milliman:
Which file is the final with speakers and headphones?
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
The ones dated 11-9 at the bottom of OP

Added No Aux Out Increase in the same place. So Speaker, BT, Headphones increased.

[Sprint LG G3] jjairal:

Truth? Truth is my elderly mother had her head split open, then a surgery that went bad, and then a second surgery to correct the screw up of the first surgery team.

You are just being rude, and acting like you are utterly entitled to my time, which I find quite precious and rare at this point in my life. The time that I would actually rather spend with my family, or working than appeasing a rude stranger on the internet.

I'm so glad, as your other posts states, that your friends [1][2] have a root pending release. I can rest easy, and saving my exploit for a rainy day, knowing that you have gone out of your way to help your friends prepare their root. One of my favorite things to do is look at how others exploit vulnerabilities, i get giddy each time someone else releases one. I really do enjoy taking them apart, and can't wait to see what they did.

My family, and my work is more important than someone who feels entitled to days and days of my time.
