Uh and that was related to no apn?

Well yeah cloudyfa is a great dev and has a great support (though I'm not heard about him before since I never had a LG since ages. But what he has done on. g2 isn't easy as 123
[G3 Themes and Apps] galaxyhero:
Ya havnt really heard of him before until not too recently. I switched over from a galaxy s4 awhile ago. I learned alot from your thread about modifying my g3. I tried to change apn like you said earlier and i changed it but it doesnt really change anything with mms or signal. Everything seems the same and still cant send mms

I was thinking of maybe taking the activation folder from stock ls990 rom maybe it will fix things with the network, and i also notice some sprint related hidden menus in system priv app folder I dont know if i should copy them over or not.
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
Did you look in the apn settings?
[G3 Themes and Apps] galaxyhero:
I edited apn-conf.xml added from that website and saved and copied back set permissions and restart and still the same
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
Sounds like some strange recognition bug I assume. No idea to be honest. usually this is due to some bug or corrupt ril related files. or the settings Rom doesn't support cdma fully (not sure how other cdma users reports back)

Strange thing is that it seems on cloudy Rom 2.5 my packages seems to have package errors. can anyone else confirm?
[G3 Themes and Apps] galaxyhero:
Not sure yet, running cloudyrom 2.5 seems identictal to 2.4 havnt noticed anything different still same com.android.phone forceclose and mms issue. It is also missing smart tips and smart settings in the smart bulletin so i will try and flash those and report back.
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
Well coming from a dirty flash it does ?
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
Also the smartsettings power saving is most likely a settings related or easysettings. it doesn't have to do with the smartsettings at all since this info wasn't there Bedfore ow merge of LGeasysettings and LGsettings.

Though it is most useless garbage info if you been using you're device and because not all features mentioned might be there.

I have some good news and some bad news

The good news is I won't abandon this project even if things are hard or dying on me once and in while.

The bad thing is It seems like my charging port is slightly damaged and It is hard to get It to charge and there is no warranty left (LG) claimed that It was a drop damage because the screen has lifted some mm but that is due to a bad screen replacement by myself. Anyhow lets see how things Will be going.

And if not fixable I Might need to buy a New USB port or a completely New motherboard And that ain't going to happen until the end of this month. I must suck with the usb port since Its the 3rd one that gets damage -_-

FIXED! LG G4 LGMessage on LG G3 (D858HK)

Hi @LastStandingDroid,

I was able to fix my issue with your modified lge-res.apk for D858HK for LG G4 LGMessage (my issue was: phone stays on "Knock-Off" so the screen is always turned off). I would just like to document what I did, in case other users (particularly of other LG G3 variants/models) may benefit.

I decompiled your lge-res.apk (the one you modified for my D858HK)

I got a fresh unmodified copy of lge-res.apk for the D858HK and decompiled it as well

I followed your instructions from and as follows:

De-compile your copy of the modified lge-res.apk and the clean, unmodified version

Follow instructions from Post #1993: install "Winmerge" app and open a copy of the file "styles.xml" (found in /res/values/styles.xml - you can see this inside the respective folders of the de-compiled lge-res.apks, both the modified and unmodified)

Edit the unmodified lge-res.apk as per Post #2003. NOTE: depending on your LG G3 variant/model, the line number that needs to be edited may be different. This is why using WinMerge is very important, because you can easily spot the difference

Re-compile the lge-res.apk (the unmodified one, with the edits you made as per Post #2003). Make sure to "sign" it also!

IMPORTANT NOTE: The "Advanced Apk Tool" by BDFreak uses an older version of "apktool" (version 2.0.0 RC3, which was released November 27, 2014 as per this website - by the way, that date is the same as my birthday, hahaha!). Therefore, I used the actual "apktool" version 2.0.0 final release. However, the original "apktool" is purely command-line based and there is no automation. Users will have to enter the commands manually.

What did I notice?

When I compared the modified lge-res.apk that I graciously received from @LastStandingDroid, there were more edits in his copy. Perhaps one of those edits may have caused my issue. So, I only edited what was required as per Post #2003, in order to get my LG G4 LGMessage to work with my LG G3 D858HK.

By the way, I also downloaded and extracted the KDZ file of the LG G4 H818P (dual-SIM). I was hoping to be able to use the dual-SIM version of the LG G4 LGMessage app (because the current LG G4 LGMessage app looks like it was built for the single-SIM variants/models), but it doesn't work. I assume that the app (APK) needs to be "modded" or edited so that it can work with the LG G3, correct? In other words, the LG G4 apps in your thread are already modified (ported) so that they can work with the LG G3?

Again, thank you. The tips you provided helped me get LG G4 LGMessage to work, and I was able to do it even if I have very minimal knowledge about programming.
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
This has more or less nothing to do with programming.

This has to do with.

Comparison, patient, and understanding.

If you share your modified apk i can add it to op for download.

Also, why LGmessage from h8518p can be due to.

1. Might need to be deodexed. which Might cause trouble if on deodex

2. You are missing an update app or missing info in framework or lge-res.

To help me help you. grab a logcat while trying to open the app and save it so I can try see why it dies

Also most of the apps comes "out of the box" you rarely need to touch the app itself. Most likely you just need to modify framework files and add correct libraries and permissions to get it working.

Clear the data of the Home (if no secure lockscreen) enter your lockscreen and then draw down the notification bar.

Small edit. ill cut of this project for some time (not fully) but I'm not going to look into this as much as before. This is time consuming and it is really taking time to jump back and forth once something breaks and put you into a bootloop or when the apps crashes and the log is explaining partially the problem.

you need 2 component in system file and give proper permission (0755- folder, and 0644 for file)

put LGMyGuide into system/priv-app

put MyGuide folder into system/etc/mrg_default_forms

rebuild your flashable, and clean install the rom

Hi [MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION],

Yes, definitely! I am honored. :)

By the way I quickly checked out your updated tutorial/thread. Looks nice. I think that will be a good starting point for ne to learn how you do it. The lge-res.apk and lge-frameworks.apk in that thread, are they modified or stock? I asked because I'm thinking of using the D858HK version as basis (due to my model being a dual-SIM variant).

Anyway, thank you as well. Just let me know what I need to do. I'm excited!
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
That is stock G4 framework files and systemui
[G3 Themes and Apps] topet2k12001:
Got it; thanks [MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION]!

So I just want to make sure I have an understanding of the general concept, based on your "DIY porting thread":

To de-compile an LG "core app" apk:

1. Load BOTH the "stock" LG G4 version lge-frameworks.apk and lge-res.apk

2. Load the LG "core app" apk (example: LGMessage, LGAlarmClock, etc.) you want to de-compile

3. De-compile with the apktool (in my case I used the official command-line based apktool)

To "port" an LG "core app" apk:

1. De-compile your current LG G3 "core app" apk

2. De-compile the LG G4 "core app" apk that you will use as reference (for the programming code)

3. Load both files in WinMerge

4. Check for differences in the "code" and apply the difference by copy/pasting over

5. Re-compile the edited "core app" apk. Note: make sure to include the "signature" which is the "META-INF" folder of the original "core app" apk (can be done via the apktool, or manually by opening the files via 7-Zip)

6. Load up the "core app" apk and test it on the device

7. Wash, rinse, repeat (trial-and-error) :)

I have a question: in this thread where I got LG G4 "LGMessage" to work for my D858HK, I de-compiled and edited lge-res.apk (following your instructions from Post #2003). How do I know when I will need to edit the lge-res.apk or if I will need to edit the "core app" apk itself?

What is the general approach:

1. Start with the "core app" apk only (compare LG G4 versus LG G3 and merge the code) and see if it works without having to edit the lge-res.apk? Or...

2. Start with the lge-res.apk?

I guess that's the only part where I am still unable to understand. But so far, for editing the actual "core app" apk, your "DIY porting thread" pretty much covers it. :)

PS: just let me know what I need to do as far as the project. :)
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
Usually you never need to edit the core app itself etc LGmessage since it relies on the framework files. So if you get an issue lots say

Binary file in xml or something similar (is what I got before fixing the lge-res) will somewhat point you to a direction. ill give you a better log about what I mean

Lets take this as an example

07-09 23:54:47.854 E/AndroidRuntime(7247): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.android.browser/com.android.browser.BrowserActivity}: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f090000

LGbrowser dies due to missing resource id as far as I can tell.

And by search for the resource id in the LGbrowser it is telling me that resource ID 0x7f09000 is for is_tablet which is most likely related (in com.lge.systemui.jar) is where I found the is tablet code related info. Might also be somewhere else. But it won't tell you "where it is"
[G3 Themes and Apps] topet2k12001:
I see. Alrighty!

Thank you for your patience in answering my questions, @LastStandingDroid. :)

My approach to writing "how-to's" and information is that I usually try them out for myself. That is my motivation and reason why I was so curious in how you actually do it. Basically: the better I understand things, the better I can actually do them myself, and the better and clearer I can write. :)

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 AM ----------

Oooohhh...I see now. :)

Thanks for the example. That's exactly what I needed - just the logic on how the error message points you to the direction on where to look. :) I understand that the errors won't tell you exactly where to look, but your explanation is enought to make me understand the logic behind it. I appreciate it, @LastStandingDroid!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Now I understand what you mean when you say that porting requires patience. You have to find exactly where the error is pointing. The error only gives you a hint or clue.

Hi Friends,

For those who have Corporate/Office Microsoft Outlook/Exchange:

I was able to make LGEmail (LG G4 version) work with my work email (our office uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2010). :) I will update this post when I have the time because I still have office work tomorrow and I need to sleep now. :)

Hint: it has something to do with how I did it for LGMessage (LG G4 version) in Post #2142!

PS: those who don't use work/office Microsoft Exchange (or those who use GMail instead of LGEmail) might not find this interesting, so don't bother fixing it. :)
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
Well it isn't always it doesn't tell you where to look.

Example:

06-19 00:12:22.244 E/AndroidRuntime(21589): java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No instance field boost_flags of type I in class Landroid/net/wifi/WifiConfiguration; or its superclasses (declaration of 'android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration' appears in /system/framework/framework.jar)

Here it is pretty much defined what causes the issue and where. This you can't miss because it does indeed tell you this:

The class boost_flag is not found. it should be in

system/framework/framework.jar

In android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration

Note this is the fun part. When you browse folders in any system its usually separated with a slash / but in the log it is declared . for every folder so in Windows it will be

android/net/wifi/WifiConfiguration

Note this too. I didn't add a slash after the WiFiconfiguration.

Why? Because that's the file you want to look at the rest is just the path so in the end you Will have

/yourlocationoforiginalfile/decompiledappfoldername/android/net/wifi/

And the file Will be named WiFiconfiguration.smali since we use apktool. If you use dex2jar it Will pretty much give you everything explained except the "extension" file since it Will be java related and not smali.

Hope this helps you a bit more ;)
[G3 Themes and Apps] topet2k12001:
Hi [MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION],

What does "deodex" mean? I did notice (H818P dual-SIM firmware) a folder /arm/somefile.odex in the respective folders of the LG G4 core apps. Do I just copy them over to my LG G3 D858HK? Or do I jave to convert the core app? Because I noticed that your LG G4 core apps don't have this folder/file.

Alsp what is a smali? Do I have to touch that?

I appreciate the stuff you're teaching me so far. :)
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
Deodex is when you convert odex to dex and it is being merged into the apk instead of being outside.

Benefits its easier to port/theme on deodex

Backstab is it loads slightly slower.

The apps i use are deodexed and the dex > is being decompiled to smali

The resources.arsc is converted to xml

So if you don't have the smali folder in your decompile app it is just because its odex and most likely tells that you running a rooted stock firmware

The odex & dex should most likely always stay untouched unless you want to port over features. (Even then it is recommended to work on deodex)

XML might enable "hidden" features as visible in apps But it is useless if the code isn't added in smali (classes.dex) once packed again

So to make it simple.

You should only work with images and xml (mostly) if you want to port over the look and animations (sometimes it might be related to smali) and to enable hidden features as visible.

And to make the features work its all in classes.dex
[G3 Themes and Apps] :
