I signed it and emailed LG, LG Devs and junho.cho only a single reply from Lg Devs Ive included the reply below. I even tried through my cell provider and mistakenly the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services (CCTS) when I meant to ask the CRTC a question. I was told by them to take it up by my local mp. My cell provider, fido, responded stating they asked LG about unlocking the G4 and were told that it was only the 815. I gave them some feedback and explained why I wanted the bootloader unlocked which was forwarded to the right departments. My correspondence was with the Case Manager, Office of the President, with Fido.

[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
Again people i dont want to be negative but on lgs end its not gonna happen. A bypass tool like loki or bump will have to be made somthing that can make the bootloader think all pakages that are neing flash are properly signed hence the secure boot errors. And again the fiascos with the publics overwhelming not following directions reading instructions and just plain rudeness most dev have just moved on to easier devices.

[G4 General] elvinguitar:
Hopefully LG will unlock all G4's bootloader after this petition.
[G4 General] D13H4RD2L1V3:
LOL!

I think we're at the point where we really want to put so much pressure on the LG developers so that they'll seriously consider unlocking other G4s.

I'm still remaining somewhat optimistic, though the reps on the forums have stopped responding to the onslaught of bootloader unlock requests on LG Dev. Too much for them? Or have they changed their mind?
[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
I think personally in the end we represent such a small portion of lgs sales that we really dont matter to them. only way for our voice to really be heard is major advertisement. Face book twiiter and so on. I think and believe in the end if we ever get unlocked which i think itll be like g2 and g3 never were really unlocked. Just found holes in their sercurity which was patched quite well. Bump and loki. Were only work arounds not official. But if people can hack the goverment hack credit cards and while back sony psn got it bad. I feel eventually somthing will happen. But on another note there are plenty of devices out there with abaolutly no unlock and no development because of
[G4 General] D13H4RD2L1V3:
That's why I'm hoping LG thinks about the petition.

It might not do much but hopefully, it gets our voices heard.

Remember, the H811 got an unlocked bootloader in Marshmallow. We might represent a small nibble of LG's pie, but we tend to be the loudest, especially since we're the ones who usually recommend lesser-known brands to others. LG can either ignore us and lose some customers (not ideal as their sales are still down) or consider the requests made by more than 3050 people (yes, there's way more out there who want a bootloader unlock on their G4s)

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

Same here, though the chances are kinda slim, as is the case with many OEMs.

Still remaining optimistic, though. Hope the petition makes our voices heard.
[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
So guys ive been playin around and see some have made it into fastboot i havnt yet but i found a tool on xda windroid toolkit. It attemps to get the tolkien identifier. And does reboot my device in an attempt to get into fast boot the tool also offers the option to unlock. Bit i havnt tried yet so i dont know the end results. I have been looking into a few things about the locked loaders and its not the loader where really up against. Its the 256 bit encryption i think it said the boot loader partitions have on them. Similar to the ecrypted sd card options. Which i guess is also nearly impossible to break
[G4 General] D13H4RD2L1V3:
I don't think the WinDroid unlock works on the G4.

My assumption is that LG uses a different identifier and key and as such, only really works with a specific unlock key, like the one on LG's official unlock tool.

There may be another unofficial unlock tool on its way since the one on LGViet seems to have stalled in progress with no other alternative on its way. That is, unless LG opens it up to more G4 variants when they consider that petition.
[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
Of coarse it asks for model i click g4. It dont say specifically eu model. Just g4 in gen. But i know its not gonna work just frantic helpfulness
[G4 General] D13H4RD2L1V3:
Of course.

If it worked, we wouldn't need that petition.

At least my G4 still performs quite well on the stock ROM. The main reason I want to slap CM13 is to get rid of that eyesore of a UX. Way too many bright areas.

I'm still hoping for LG to consider our petition. Slim chances, but I'm still optimistic.

[G4 General] milan187:
LG won't change. They don't care about us. It's likely 1% of sales or less for people that care about BL unlock.

Load stock 5.1.1 root it, load xposed, tweaks box etc and enjoy the device. Otherwise sell it and get something else and move on.

If BL unlock is important do research before getting your next device.

[G4 General] oreo27:
Exactly. When I researched this device, I thought "Hey, it has root and Xposed. I'm good to go.". I'm defenitely never going for a phone with a locked bootloader ever again. To add to that, I'm most likely never buying an LG phone ever again as well due to the motherboard failure I along with a bunch of other people experienced.
[G4 General] TheSynysterLG:
The bootloader will be unlocked eventually. The petition may work. If not some developer etc will crack the bootloader and share the way to do it or create a program. Its been done so many times before, if your stuck with the G4 like others just calm down and wait for someone to do it. LG is a good brand. Every device has its faults. Just wait it out, thats what warrantys are for lol
[G4 General] oreo27:
I haven't had any experience with a locked bootloader previously and I assumed that it will never be unlocked. I'm as patient as the next guy when it comes to these things as the previous platform I was using was equally as hard to unlock if I understand correctly. Plus it helps that I can't afford to purchase a new device in a long time. But I guess I'll take your word for it and hope that it gets unlocked sometime in the future.

Definitely. I just never had a fatal hardware fault cause me data loss and time (by having it repaired). Don't get me wrong. I commend their warranty, it's just that something like that, in my opinion should be subject to a recall and immediate replacement rather than waiting for our devices to go bye bye.
[G4 General] TheSynysterLG:
Im in the same exact position as you. I purchased the phone on a contract. Kinda disappointed I cant put custom roms or recoverys onto the G4, Cant afford to buy a new phone outright. But hey my backup is to sell it and by the Blu Pure Xl. Same phone, just a little better my opinion and its 500$ total here in Canada. If stuff doesnt work out you could always sell it right?

Hoping all the hounding of LG employees does turn out good though ? we need daat bootloader unlocked.
[G4 General] MitoTakatori:
Probably someone will unlock our bootloaders or LG might roll out one too. But the device itself is great. Of course it's better if we can flash ROMs and other mods, have root and all that.

Nearest thing I've found so far is to enable edges then when screen is off, swipe up and down to show the edge content at which point you can unlock via fingerprint reader.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tectas:
Not really, only the other way round, press the home button and leave the finger on it and it will unlock straight away.

Gotta push the button. I understand you want to just rest your finger and let it unlock (like nexus 6P) but is it really that hard to put little bit of pressure to actually push the button and just leave your finger there like you would have with a 6P?

Partial success! Following this guide for the S6 edge I can have tap to wake working http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/tap-to-wake-samsung-device-t3141850

The snag is, and here's the new challenge, to have either AOD or edge clock working whilst it's asleep.

[MENTION=343893]razorseal[/MENTION] : it's not a biggie, I am just trying to recreate the functionality of Windows phones as it was a beautiful workflow that I'd like to keep of glance screen and DT2W/DT2S.

So I'm thinking it's an app like Knockr I need but one which somehow allows AOD to work. Any suggestions welcome - I'm not averse to rooting to achieve this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] joebongo:
Getting closer still. So I uninstalled all that stuff from the link above and put this app on: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orthur.always_on_display&hl=en

It has an AOD display which if you put your finger on the pad it reads the print and unlocks. It does have a double tap to wake as well which can be used to open the lock screen and then do the fingerprint.

So now I just need a double tap to sleep app then if the battery drain isn't too crazy, the mission is complete.

Anyone know a good double tap to sleep app that isn't a floating widget? Something like on CM13 whereby you double tap the status bar and it goes to sleep would be good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] maverick1103:
You could always enable the 'Easy screen turn on' feature, which can be found by going to 'Accessibility' and then 'Dexterity and Interaction'....

I believe this was previously known as 'Air View'.

I hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
This will probably drain your battery too much. Many of these (root-less) apps keep the AMOLED screen on but with a black rectangle displayed so it looks like it's off. But don't fall into the "AMOLED black does not consume power" lie. There is an entire system powering the screen that consumes power.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MDaveUK:
Yep this is the easiest solution folks. It's what I use. Just a simple wave or swipe finger over the proximity sensor, device wakes up. There is also a setting elsewhere that stops the phone from waking up if its in your pocket or so, so good idea to use that too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Quite a nice solution. I wonder if it has any impact on battery, since the proximity sensor is probably always-on ?

I still hate Samsung for not implementing double tap to wake. I mean, they copy everything from Apple, but they can't copy a really useful feature like this from LG (or whoever had it first without battery drain) ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] razorseal:
Well then wouldn't u have battery drain from the screen because the touch sensor is always on? :)

So any new successful option
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sidsden:
Answer to your question is Nova Launcher Pro. You can use the double tap gesture to lock the screen, no widgets required. Let me know if you have any confusion with that. The only downside with that is when I wake the phone back up, it says and I quote "Enter PIN instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy". It's quite a big deal for me, having to type in the PIN instead of just resting my finger on the home button. Still searching an answer for that. If anyone has found a workaround/solution, please let me know.

PS: Sorry, I had to cut the playstore link from your original message, XDA forums won't let me post with a link in it.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

So, I researched a bit and found a workaround. I am not allowed to post links here, so, find an app called 'Screen Lock Pro' from the Play Store. Its by a developer called Prahallad and costs $2.37. Then activate it as a device administrator, go to setting and enable 'Smart Lock and Nexus Imprint'. Then go back to your Nova Launcher settings, into 'Gestures & Inputs'. Select 'Double Tap' under gestures and select the shortcuts tab on the top. From there, select the 'Screen Lock Pro (Shortcut)' and you're done. There are a ton of other features in the app and I am still trying them all out one by one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Misterjunky:
Unfortunately that app as well as all the other "tap to wake apps" at the play store use the phone's proximity sensor

to accomplish the tap to wake feature which means that the phone's proximity sensor will remain enabled 24hrs. a day

wasting precious battery life.

What we have been looking for was a way to double tape to wake the screen without using the proximity sensor at all.

The HTC, LG or the Nexus late model phones have the double tap to wake feature built-in without using the proximity

sensor, I just can't recall which one of those three brands have it.

Have a great day!
