[T-Mobile LG G3] JustLok:
Sorry for the late reply, busy weekend.

I changed the DPI settings via the Build.prop, I copied it off the phone, opened it with Wordpad, made my changes and added a few more tweaks and copied it back over to my phone (after making a backup copy, of course).

Be forewarned, you MUST change the permissions for the Build.prop file to rw-r-r or you will cause your phone to bootloop! It happened to me after I was rushing and I forgot to make a backup (:silly:) and had to restore the stock ROM.

You can use the app mentioned but I haven't tried it yet.

I also made the change to allow all dual window with ALL apps and not just the LG stock apps, much better now. Also a few other tweaks and settings in it as well.

As for the Note 3, I think I like LG's UI better than Sammy's TouchWiz, opening apps doesn't stall for a second or two and it feels smoother, but I didn't really make many changes to my Note 3 outside of rooting it for the free hotspot.

The G3 though, I'm really going hard on it with freezing apps, disabling services, changing settings and so forth to squeeze any bit of performance and life out of it, it's a good phone, I just want to see how good of a phone it is and I got the time on my hand to mess with it.

I do have to disagree about the Note 3 camera, I just found it absolutely atrocious. It's picture quality was far subpar over my old SII or my wife's HTC One M7 (minus the purple haze). The Note 3 performed horribly in lowlight and was always plagued by that pastel look to all its pics, only absent in bright settings and environments. I checked online and many others said the same with the Note 3, pic quality was bad.

The LG G3 blows the Note 3 out of the water in picture quality and focus time. The Note 3 would take a pic and then a popup of "Processing...." while it copied/wrote the picture. If you hit ANY button while it displayed that, the picture was lost. The G3, take a pic and it's saved immediately and the phone is ready. Mind you, the Note 3 image quality was on its highest, as well as the G3, using both internal and external storage, same results.

I was always very upset over the Note 3 camera quality and pictures, that was the only big thing that I disliked about the phone. With that, I mean I knew what I was getting with the phone size and screen type and weight and all, etc, but the camera quality was ridiculous and I could never understand how you can have a phone of that real estate and not put a proper image processor or sensor in it.... :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G3] Upstreammiami:
I had the note 3 and I don't miss it I'm glad I upgraded..
[T-Mobile LG G3] Ceasare:
What about outside? Is the G3 bright and easy to read in sunlight?
[T-Mobile LG G3] abn.geek:
My experience so far...hmm.

Like a hoarder of useless crap, I was nervous about losing the added "functionality" of the Note 3. I reminded myself that I'd not touched the S Pen in over 4 months, that all of the stupid gimicky things like "eye-sight" and hand page turn (or whatever it was) I had turned off on day 1 because they were useless, etc. For me, the Note 3 was a giant phone with a beautiful AMOLED display, passable camera and some added gimmicks if I felt I needed them.

With Slim Rom, however, that thing was an insane AOSP Beast machine. Holy God I've never owned a phone that buttery fast. Ever.

But my Jump came up and being the phone whore that I am, I sort of side-traded into the G3 a few days ago.

First impressions:

MUCH better aesthetic

Higher quality hand feel

Better ergonomics

Screen clarity was a holy crap factor

Having been accustomed to the AMOLED saturation and contrast, I still get a strong feeling of "wash-out" on the LG but the clarity is lovely. The color shift in viewing angle bugs me a little bit too.

Phone is pretty laggy (as in hardware redraw lag) out of the box. Several tweaks have gotten it a bit better, but nothing like that SlimRom N3. Somewhere in the same league, maybe, but the G3 isn't superbowl material. N3 was.

Having said that, I had to do without NFC on AOSP with my N3, so that was a no go. And I hate TW with a smoldering passion. LG's skin is surprisingly lite. It's like they took AOSP and put some nice makeup on and got her all prettied up to go out on the town. Nothing like some glue-sniffing 13-year olds ripped it out screaming and crying by the roots and totally replaced it with a shameful mockery of its former simplicity and beauty. Ugh, TW.

LG's overlays are fairly well done IMHO and I am normally very biased toward stock AOSP. I'd prefer AOSP, but this ain't too bad.

TL;DR - Slight edge to G3 so far. Not a trade that will blow you away, but not a bad one either.
[T-Mobile LG G3] RMXO:
LG G3 Stylus 5.9" has made an appearance so some of you might want to hold off if you want a larger screen like the Note 3.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
It appears having lower specs like 540p screen.
[T-Mobile LG G3] RMXO:
I guess I skipped that part, then its not worth it and not sure why they would want to do that to compete with the Note 4.
[T-Mobile LG G3] SomeGuyDude:
Weird that deep blacks would be such a concern then.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
The only downside of AMOLED is "burn".
[T-Mobile LG G3] sublimaze:
You are comparing stock LG UI to a custom rom derived from aosp. Of course SlimKat will be smoother. I had SlimKat on my Note 2 for months, probably the longest I have ever stayed with the same rom. And it was a freaking beast too. The SlimRom team supported the G2, so I am pretty sure G3 support is coming.

Btw, I had the Note 3, and it definitely was not "Super Bowl material" in stock form. More like slow-motion replay.
[T-Mobile LG G3] roseofdarktears:
N3 -> G3

I actually just used the 1st out of my 2 12 month JUMP! upgrades to go from a failing Note 3 to the LG G3. I do not regret it one bit. I love the screen much better, and the buttons on the back actually feel pretty good. Given the LG knock screen feature using the buttons on the back has been minimal use for me. Use it for camera shutter and screen lock/power as I prefer using the software controls for volume, I love this phone, it feels nice in the hand and has a nice center of weight unlike the note which felt edge heavy to me.

As a side note, I don't know if it was just the store shelf models being handled a lot, but the black and white floor models felt physically different. The black had a very slippery feeling and the white one feels much more grippy. Just a heads-up for some people debating.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Rayn1328:
Thanks for all the feedback. I too am in the same spot, sitting with n3 and a jump available. I had the flex for a week coming from the n2. Returned it paid the $50 and grabbed n3. Love the phone, great dev support which was part of the reason I returned the lg flex. Just Ready for a break from Samsung and the galaxy series. But after the flex I am a bit concerned especially screen resolution.
[T-Mobile LG G3] pandakat:
I Just jumped ship from a Verizon Note 3 to a Tmo G3 and i miss my N3.

I had just upgraded to the Alliance ROM and that thing is a beast. Great battery life awesome mods with

a lot of customization features.

BUT i am loving my g3 overall. The phone UI is not super cluttered with bloatware like the N3. So its actually pretty snappy and REALLY good on battery lif right out of the box. I mean the battery life is better than my rooted and ROMed N3. The knock feature is AWESOME, I use it all the time and have gotten used to the back buttons pretty easily. Also you can not beat the fact that TMO lets you stream music for FREE! plus i has an unlimited Pandora which makes it even better :p.

I only miss my N3 bc of all the customizable features, but i can wait until more ROMs come out for this phone. Once more roms are available i think the G3 will be better than the Note 3. Its only going to get better from here! I do think the camera was a lil better on the N3, but over all i am happy with the g3, i have not had any issues with service and it actually gets pretty fast LTE coverage.

Hope this helps
[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
I just got a G3 because my Note 3 had a blacklisted IMEI. It's has only been less than a week but I'm not into this G3 much but the same could be said when I switched from my N2 to the N3. The UI on the G3 looks cluttered and busy, with the LG circle case the phone feels really cheap so if you don't care much for the plastic feel of a Samsung device the G3 isn't a good choice. Dev support is lacking at the moment unlike the N3. I have yet to use the cameras so I can't compare directly against the N3. I suggest you wait for the N4.
[T-Mobile LG G3] marvi0:
Great thread, why is dev support lacking, I have the UK g3?. Also in terms of playing games is their much of a difference because of the 2gb ram of the g3 as opposed to note 3.?. I mean my note 3 would open real Racing really quickly what are your thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G3] qbanlinxx:
Dev is lacking because of the locked bootloader on most of the G3 variants. T-Mobile version is unlocked, and has a few roms already, no AOSP just yet though...
[T-Mobile LG G3] marvi0:
Thanks how about playing games any difference please?
[T-Mobile LG G3] jpeps3:
No do not move to lg g3 its nice. Fast internet. Speed weight wait for the note 4. Next month
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
Lol nobody knows what note 4 will bring. All the teasers that have hit just shows a note 3 with a slightly different processor. Same ram same camera same everything . oh they did add more security devs gonna have to mess with

AWESOME G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] force70:
As long as the bootloader isn't locked on the Canadian version its a step ahead of G3.

I wanted the G3 so bad its not funny... the G2 was one of the best devices ive ever had so i was super excited about the G3. but with a locked bootloader its a paperweight to me sadly.

Ive yet to see a samsung locked bootloader on a Canadian device yet so i hope that trend continues. Dont care about warranty so knox doesnt worry me

If they ever unlock the G3 i would def get one...the 805 version of course.

[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
Na it won't be locked. But what will really be different if you own a note 3. Not much that you will see. Same camera same crappy speaker. Same back same screen same everything. Only change will be chip in it. It will get a bump.

AWESOME G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] hashcheck:
Note 4 will have 805 and QHD screen.. I'll get one to play with
[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
The screen is supposed to be a 4K screen so it should be better and a 16mp camera along with that better processor. I've been using the G3 for over a week (maybe 2) and I'm not feeling it still. Best feature in my opinion is the Knock On with screen off, when using my Note 3 I always try to knock to turn it on.
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
A lot of supposed to. The processor is the only thing def for USA. Camera will be same as note 3 and I can't find any info on 4k screen. In a few hours we will have all the specs.

This g3 camera blows away what is out not. My note 3 can't touch it

AWESOME G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
I can't see why they would use the same camera as the Note 3 when the GS5 has a higher res camera so it would make more sense if they went with that but knowing how important cameras are to people nowadays I'd think they'd at least upgrade the camera.
[T-Mobile LG G3] force70:
I would be shocked not to see a better camera on it...the note 3 camera is okay but the s5 camera kills it.

I hope the screen is bigger also..

I do hope they ditch the ugly leather look battery cover though...I put an aftermarket one on my note 3 as soon as I could get one lol.

[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
Now I need to compare the cameras of my Note 3, G3 and GS5 to see which is better lol.
[T-Mobile LG G3] force70:
Def not the note 3 lol.

[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
I've used the camera on my Note 3 to take pictures to be printed in a magazine and they looked great. I'm happy with the camera on the Note 3 but I haven't had a reason to take any pictures with my G3 yet.

Galaxy S5 vs. OnePlus One vs. LG G3 Low-Light Cam…: http://youtu.be/oD0lxoPyUg8

AWESOME G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] Rayn1328:
Well i made the move from the note 3 to the g3. Very good move, camera is quick and responsive. Id say the only thing I'm disappointed in is the cheap feel of the phone itself, nothing a nice case wont take care of. Its going to take some time to get use to different ui after nothing but galaxy and note series phones. First full day of use but seems like battery is solid. Rooted with stock kernal(for now)
[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
Well it looks like the Note 4 will be a good buy and is updated pretty well.
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
Let's not go jumping to conclusions. Some good things about it but what was not said. Why do we have to wait till October for it. Will it be themeable. A lot of devs don't know what will come.

AWESOME G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
October is next month so it isn't a lot of time to wait and it isn't out of the norm for companies to announce and then release a month or more later.

Themes and other hacks are personal choices but for what was announced it seems like it'll be a great device I just hope that it doesn't follow most of Samsung's other devices and have laggy software so the only choice is to go with a custom rom.
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
I do want to try the camera. They finally gave it good software but the lg g3 needs a good challenge. Let's see what camera is best

AWESOME G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] mcme21:
Great phone

I have thoroughly enjoyed my LG G3 so far. I have had it for about 3 months now, and it has been a rock solid device. My recommendations would be to get it, root it, and then install a custom kernel (I use SkyDragon). After installing SkyDragon, I noticed a HUGE difference in the already outstanding battery life (although I may be exaggerating a bit after being used to the terrible battery life of a Nexus 5 for about 6 months). My only complaint so far, which isn't as big of a deal as usual because I don't mind the LG UI that is installed on the G3, is the lack of ROM development thus far on the G3. I am thankful that we at least have a couple of options, as compared to the other variants who don't have anything yet. I would personally make the jump if I was you.
[T-Mobile LG G3] velasco3m:
This man has the right of it. I've done fairly well for myself modding using Xposed modules after installing the SkyDragon ROM. The amount of customization is pretty high and SkyDragon is a good ROM. I too enjoy a quantity of ROMS, but at least the ones that currently exist are of good quality. I used to be a Samsung user as well. I would make the switch!
[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
I'm using SkyDragon as well but it's a stock rom with root for the most part. It would have been great to have the T-Mobile bloat removed and more of a selection of apps to remove. I'm still using my G3 but I don't think I'll stick with it much longer and just got back to my Note 3 and wait for the 4 to come out.
[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
I just switched back to my Note 3 from my G3 so I'm going to see if I miss the G3 or not.
[T-Mobile LG G3] itsmekeoni:
Right off the bat I noticed battery life is WAY better on my Note 3 after I switched back. The G3 feels a bit better in my hand and I miss Knock On. Waiting for the Note 4 now!
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
Just a few more weeks lol

BAD ASS G3
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellKaiser:
As title says..

Even if I remove the checkmark within settings, it the checkmark returns as soon as I reenter settings. Now I dont think it really is turned on since I dont see the notifier in the status bar nor can I browse websites. My mobile usage isnt increasing as well.

Now I noticed that in the notification panel, my icon for mobile data is slightly faded. I cannot turn it back to completely gray like the other features I have turned off. Screenshot attached.

Hello,

I have an SG Note Edge (4.4.4) and I would like to change the white background of the 4 way reboot menu with a black one. Could you tell me where should I find the png or the code responsible for this?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Hey, this is an alert dialog with single choice menu. So the theme for it would be hound in framework-res you should start looking at styles.xml and layouts folder.

I have not themed this, but I do know that on 4.4.4 this is a color, not a png. So the reference should be in styles or colors... maybe in twframework-res.

I know that [MENTION=4376579]BoBCatRoM[/MENTION] has themed it to be black, so he will probably know to tell you.

He even asked me if I remember correctly. But I couldn't tell for sure then and I don't know now.

Also I think [MENTION=5493353]Wuby986[/MENTION] looked into it at some point. He might remember as well.

I hope one of them will give you the solution as I am not in front of pc now and can't check for you.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Wuby986:
well yeah i did that for a note4, but i really don't remeber how :D

if i am not mistaken it was only to change an id from the white bg to the black one and i retrieved the value from framework-res.apk id's..

i am at work as well, but i am quite sure it is that one

I'll be very grateful if you can find what exactly was that.

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] BoBCatRoM:
set style in Power menu 4way reboot

Step1

decompile framework-res.apk

open >> values / public.xml

search (this is ID style white ) >> <public type = "style" name = "Theme.DeviceDefault.Light"

search (this is ID style black) >> <public type = "style" name = "Theme.DeviceDefault"

mine are these but your could be different

<public type="style" name="Theme.DeviceDefault.Light" id="0x0103012b" />

<public type="style" name="Theme.DeviceDefault" id="0x01030128" />

---------------------------------------------------------

Step 2

decompile androidpolicy.jar

com\android\ internal\policy\ impl

open GlobalActions.smali

search

Landroid / view / ContextThemeWrapper;

ID changes with the value found in the framework in Theme.DeviceDefault >> 0x01030128

attention, the number may be different in Smali

check the previous format

if he has nine numbers have to remove the zero after 0x

and then change in 0x1030128

[COLOR="Red"]example:[/COLOR]
new-instance v3, Landroid / view / ContextThemeWrapper;

const v6, 0x103012b

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] starbucks2010:
Thank you very much.

I always wonder how people get to know complicated things like this. Is absolutely amazing.

Great person to share this with us.

PS. I have this in GlobalActions.smali:

new-instance v5, Landroid/view/ContextThemeWrapper;

const v8, 0x103012

b

So, I changed like this:

new-instance v5, Landroid/view/ContextThemeWrapper;

const v8, 0x103012

8

Is ok? I see that you have "const v6" and I have "const 8". Does it matter?

I attached also my GlobalActions.smali.

Best regards.

PS1. This is how it looks before and after. Is a very good improvement but I would like to know if is possible to have also black background for the 3 sound icons and to remove the "Device option" from the top.

Once again, thank you very much for your valuable help.
