If ##LGSERVICEMENU doesn't work, then it's possible they changed it...Or more likely it's blocked again and will require a framework mod. If that's the case let me know.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
It does not, neither do any variations of the newly found sprint codes, or the standard other varients codes.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
The HiddenMenu apk works for some items that appear, others crash the app. For example, on my phone BT_TEST says that Settings has stopped, then returns to the main menu, while Device_Test kills HiddenMenu, though doesn't do anything bad. Progress :)
[Verizon LG G3] droidkevlar:
So with this, is it possible to stop OTAs yet? Or people are still poking around to find the right combo?
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
HiddenMenu would likely be a "No" for stopping VZW OTA, since you can't actually get to that setting.

Freezing System updates (and maybe keychain?) will likely work, though I'm waiting for someone more experienced to chime in.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Yes, freezing system updates will stop any ota from auto installing, but will also stop any ota notification (you won't know if one is available). LG handles OTA's differently from other manufacturers where you can disable the action of installing an ota separately from being notified of one. Also, on the g2 (and I assume the g3), you had to manually allow the ota to install, it wouldn't do it on its own, but why risk it? Freeze it, and I'm sure you'll still know when there's an ota here on xda immediately.
[Verizon LG G3] oz1421:
Doesnt uninstalling bloat also break ota? Could have swore that was the case with one of my older phones
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Annoyingduck -- is freezing keychain also good/needed, or is freezing "system updates" probably enough? Thanks!

(Having fun poking at HiddenMenu, interesting things in there.)
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
It shouldn't be needed, but all bets are still off because of the many changes Verizon made. I'm comparing the international build and soon one of the other us carrier builds to find out what else big red has pulled. I can tell you with certainty that we are missing some "stock" apks and possibly some sync items that may or may have not been removed to allow some of verizons new cr-apps! That new Verizon messaging app may be the scariest thing I've seen from Verizon in a while... Who knows who's on the other end of that!

I still can't figure out what is hiding the weather app even though it's technically installed. Using a nova shortcut gives you access to it as a temp fix.
[Verizon LG G3] scooby-snack:
Hey Duck- will I be able to access the LG built in Call Reject with this method? So annoying that Verizon has removed it!

Thank you for the reply :)

Scoob
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Not that I've found. Seems to have been removed from the framework from what I can tell - unless again, it's hidden
[Verizon LG G3] droidkevlar:
Thanks for that. Maybe put that in the first post so that anyone else looking for that knows what to do too? I froze keychain and system update. And you mentioned not knowing if an update is avail, but Id rather not know if an update is avail than losing root since vzw is known to patch root in updates.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Note that in /system/app there is a "Verizon Hidden Menu.apk", but beats the heck out of me how to launch it :) Total Commander does list it as an installed App

In this mod described here http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365 other variants are changing the "High Temperature Property" setting from OFF to ON to achieve a lag free device. We do not have that setting in our hidden menu, but fear not as most operations called for on other variants are usually in ours, just worded differently. We have a setting called "Thermal Daemon Mitigation" that xda user [MENTION=2293998]Berzerker7[/MENTION] has been testing out for the past few hours. It seems that this is in fact our version of the "High Temperature Property" setting. I haven't had time to test this out personally so I would like to get some more testers to verify if this is in fact the same setting and offers the expected results described in [MENTION=1794512]stefan063[/MENTION] thread linked above. I'll update the OP once I have some more info on this.

WARNING! This setting HAS the potential to cause serious damage to your device. It is in theory similar to overclocking and can cook your phone if used improperly - experienced users only!! You have been warned...:cool:
[Verizon LG G3] stefan063:
Thank you for you understandings... But Berzerker iz wrong... Or you don't know who came up with knowledge that Thermal Daemon Mitigation and High Temperature Property is same!? It is not same at all... These two functions does different things in your device... Here is screen-shoot from my phone and clearly you can see that I have separate settings at my G3 international sim-free version... :good: :) :cool:
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Yeah, we figured that out earlier, just been wrapped up here at work to update thread. To bad, was hoping it would be the same.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
So to clarify to all, don't enable this for the purpose of eliminating lag...! [emoji39]
[Verizon LG G3] stefan063:
Wrong. Firstly do NOT ROOT YOUR PHONE... If you don't know what you are doing... And then do not try this mod if you are not familiar to what you are doing,as I wrote in first post :good: :cool:

How did you do it on the G2 and what ROM were you running on the G2? Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] p2im0:
I did it by dialing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer. I was using Malladus initially then switched to Mahdi Rom.

Once you're in the hidden menu you can choose which bands to use. I switch from LTE/CDMA/GSM to LTE Only and it would allow me to get a 4G lock in an area that had poor enough 4G reception that it'd always downgrade to 3G if I moved the phone the wrong way. I used it as a tether while on vacation, so I could have internet access on my tablet.

Be aware of this though is it shuts off CDMA entirely which means no text or phone calls while you're in 4G only mode.
[Verizon LG G3] equake:
Thanks. I don't think this works on stock 4.4.2 24A which is what XDABBEB is based on and the ROM I'm using. Phone Information no longer works on this ROM.

[Verizon LG G3] trancednovea:
Maybe it's just me(?) but this method didn't work on my rooted Verizon LG G3. After placing the hiddenmenu.apk in system/app, and the hiddenmenu command (containing the provided cmd) shortcut in system/bin, when I run hiddenmenu in an SU'd terminal emulator, I get:

Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cmp=com.lg.hiddenmenu/.HiddenMenu }

Error type 3

Error: Activity class {com.lge.hiddenmenu/com.lge.hiddenmenu.HiddenMenu} does not exist.

On the AT&T G2 I found a way to set a certain band in the hidden menu. It would show the available bands and I would just check-mark band 4 and it switched to 4G. When I wanted to go back to LTE I just went back in and turned on Band 17 since that is what is live in Portland, OR.

I have found a way to open the real VerizonHiddenMenu.apk on my vzw G2 (I'm not talking about the other carrier vesion that somewhat works but has missing and force closing options). Can someone post the Vzw G3's VerizonHiddenMenu.apk so I don't have to try to download and unpack the .tot firmware for one apk. I'm planning on making either an apk , script, or c binary to launch it and if the G3 works the same way I'll support it.
[Verizon LG G3] Robshr:
Here you go - https://www.dropbox.com/s/saypzuegkkzctpu/vzwhiddenmenu.zip?dl=0

Also can you post how you got into the real vzw's hidden menu
[Verizon LG G3] acparker18:
To make this even easier to access you can create a terminal shortcut widget (if you're using a supported launcher such as Nova) and put:

su , hiddenmenu

In the arguments line with a space before and after the comma. Then label it whatever you want and you have a one-click method to access the hidden menu.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
The "real" Verizon hidden menu is installed already in the system, no need to add anything. Dial ##228378 and then send to access it. It's completely stripped down. The AT&T apk I posted is unlocking the actual features built into the stock lg rom the verizon has not removed. Things that don't work are because Verizon altered the system. It's actually got nothing to do with the apk itself, the same apk I posted used in an AT&T phone gives different options. The menu itself is part of the system, the apk just gives a path to it....

[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
So what would one want to do from these menus? Is there any point other than "just cause"?
[Verizon LG G3] drellisdee:
Here is a Proof-Of-Concept binary demo that enables the "real" verizon hidden menu on a g2 & g3. This is a time delimited demo that will only run for the next few days. I plan to release it in an apk shortly. Please refer to readme for copyright and useage. Note this does not require the HiddenMenu.apk, only VerizonHiddenMenu.apk to be installed. Attached are a few screen shots. One neat thing is the menu to enable AT commands to the modem :victory:
[Verizon LG G3] MidnightHarvester:
VS980 (G2)

Looks like we are missing a needed apk or jar ....

This is running CloudyG3 1.3 which also came with it's own HiddenMenu apk that's different than the one listed here. The version with Cloudy appears to be a GUI for the real deal you're attempting here though, not sure.
[Verizon LG G3] drellisdee:
Seems your rom is missing VerizonHiddenMenu.apk. Grab the one listed a few posts above and place it in /system/app and reboot and try it.
[Verizon LG G3] deuce237bblock:
I followed the instructions in OP and I get these errors...
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
It's not finding the apk. Did you set permissions correctly after moving to system/app? Be sure to reboot after setting permissions.
[Verizon LG G3] MidnightHarvester:
No, it has HiddenMenu.apk, but the one in this post is a different build of it. Take the Update Touch Firmware setting. On the build I'm using it's in Settings > Update Touch Firmware. There are some extra settings as well. Makes sense then that it doesn't work..different build, different class names.

I was responding to the proof if concept post with the custom binary though. If HiddenMenu.apk is just a wrapper class providing easy access to these settings, then shouldn't the binary had worked without the need for HiddenMenu.apk?

At least that's what I always believed (about HiddenMenu being a wrapper class), It appears that perhaps I was wrong and that the HiddenMenu apk actually does do some work besides calling or modifying anything outside of process?

I guess I'm just kinda lost .. I was under the impression that the proof of concept binary would be accessing the settings HiddenMenu does without the need for the apk from the wording of the post, but it just calls on the classes within HiddenMenu.apk..

Why not just use a script with "am .." ?
[Verizon LG G3] deuce237bblock:
Yes, I did. Could it be possible that Xposed app_process is interfering?
[Verizon LG G3] ayohyejin:
So I tried this and I wasn't sure if it worked or not because I'm still getting the simplified version of the hidden menu by vzw, so I deleted the apk off my phone.

Do I have to do anything else in order to disable the adb commands I entered or is the entire MOD out of my phone (incase there are any problems with my G3 in the future)?
[Verizon LG G3] slvfox:
Go to post # 47 and download what he has in his dropbox acct. Put it in system/bin, with rwx permissions and reboot. You will need Root explorer or equivalent to do this. If you are not sure what rwx permission is just open another file in system/bin to check their permissions and do the same. Open Terminal Emulator on your phone (available in the play store for free) and type am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.lge.hiddenmenu/com.lge.hiddenmenu.HiddenMenu and hit enter. You will see your hiddenmenu in all it's glory. Be very careful when changing things. You can do a lot of damage there. Give thanks to annoyingduck and markfm for this.

[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
It's been discussed in the thread a few times [emoji6]...

No, we don't have that option. It's not present in the system (or if it is, it's buried deep and we can't find it).

And to clarify, the AT&T apk is used as a tool to access the systems built in hidden menu. The same apk on an AT&T g3 will show DIFFERENT options. The options have nothing to do with the apk, it just opens them. If options aren't there or do not work, it's because Verizon has removed or altered them in order to add their own hidden menu. There's instructions to access Verizon's modded menu in this thread as well.
