Hi @LastStandingDroid,

Okay, got it. :) I honestly don't understand what "deodexed" means, but I'll try reading about it. Yes, sorry I know I owe you a logcat. I will capture one for you. I will share my lge-res.apk for the D858HK. Actually I only edited the lines you have specified in your instruction I did not "merge" or copy/apply the other edits from your copy of the lge-res.apk. And then the LGMessage was working and I no longer had the issue of "KnockOn" malfunction (the one I previously reported where "KnockOff" works but "KnockOn" does not and the screen stays blank/off).

Hi @Artshell,

Yes, I have a modified lge-res.apk for the D858HK. I am attaching it here. Please note: while it worked for me, this is my first time doing this kind of thing. I still really don't understand everything yet but I'm trying to. Just rename the file to "lge-res.apk" (without the quotes). I had to give it a different filename because I have been studying how to do this, so I have many copies and I don't want to get confused with which edit was working.

Hi @galaxyhero,

Um, sure let me try. But no promises, as I have mentioned I am totally new to this kind of thing. Lots of things I don't understand yet but I'm trying to learn. Please send me a copy of your lge-res.apk. Are you just asking me to only de-compile it? Or are you asking me to also edit it? A small note: while @LastStandingDroid have provided the exact line numbers to edit, they may not be the same line numbers on your lge-res.apk to be edited. For example, in the lge-res.apk of my D858HK, the line numbers that needed to be edited are different from the instructions of @LastStandingDroid. That's why I agree with @LastStandingDroid; it requires some understanding of which one to really edit (and unfortunately I still have not gained that understanding).

And because I still don't really understand it all, the tip/hint of @LastStandingDroid (use WinMerge) helped me. The WinMerge application/software has a panel view at the left side with two colors: gray and yellow. Gray means a certain line of code was deleted. Yellow means a certain line of code was added/edited. So what I did is to look at the panel view of @LastStandingDroid's copy of lge-res.apk and looked for anything "yellow" (because it means he added/edited something). I saw that there were only two (2) instances of "yellow" and I just inferred that those are the lines to be edited based on his instructions. :)

Hi @LastStandingDroid,

That's sad...a bit. If you have the time, I hope you will teach us (at least the logic) of how to edit so that we can help. In my case I am very interested in doing this. I have the D858HK which is a dual-SIM variant and it is not a popular variant, so there is very little interest from developers in focusing on the D858HK. That's why with my little knowledge I am gathering courage to try and learn how things are done. I hope you can tutor me with an example APK, how you edit...just so that we can understand the logic of it. I know this may be too much to ask, so if your time will not afford, we can understand.

As it is, I am personally happy that you will not abandon this initiative. :) I like the new/updated apps and features from LG G4, but I don't want to buy an LG G4 that's why I have high hopes for this project/initiative.
