I don't have a SIM card. I tried the four corners trick from GB and the inside corners trick that worked on ICS, neither are letting me get around the welcome screen to finish the rooting process.
I got around the activation screen by installing apex launcher with adb.
adb -d install Apex_Launcher_1_4_1.apk

Then running the launcher
adb -d shell am start -n com.anddoes.launcher/com.anddoes.launcher.Launcher
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.anddoes.launcher/.Launcher }

From there Razr Blade was able to finish after going through the Smart Actions procedure.

Just click start and keep going on, it worked without sim card

didn't work, it gave me the option to dial an emergency number or shut down.
I killed the PID for com.motorola.blur.setup and the screen flashed briefly, then went back to the activation screen.
any other ideas?
Just found the hidden bypass method, I guess it's the corners still. Holding the phone vertically, it's the black space above the W in Welcome, the black space directly under the clock, the black space in bottom right hand corner next to Emergency call, and the black space at the bottom left next to Emergency call.

I was just trying to do this and holding the phone vertically didn't work but in landscape it did.

Back from the dead... confirmed landscape worked for me. Bottom corners slightly above bottom as stated.

Is there a guide to basic gestures on TS2?
I have a lot of troble going BACK - Is it right to left or some type of diagonal gesture? I figured out the bottom left to top right brings up the menu mostly. Anything else?
Also, how the heck do you change the VOLUME of the external speaker?

Thanks. So can anyone tell me how to "officially" gesture to go the the previous screen?
Swipe left from the bezel on the right straight across the display.

Thanks. That's what I have been doing but it works like 20% of the time. It seems like going from the right upper corner down to the lower left corner works better, not sure why.
So hw do I get quickly get back to the "Home" screen in the stock Launcher from other pages in the launcher?
Press the Home button, down under the camera ?
If you long press that button it brings up the task list.

I've figured out a swipe to the right from the left bezel activates the menu button if available.

Daniel made a manual which I wish I'd read before trying to figure everything out. You may have to log in to google to load the pdf

Hey now, that's handy to have!
I'd also recommend getting a third party gesture application. I use the paid version of gmd gesture control and have diagonal swipes configured for volume and a few other shortcuts. There is also a recommended free module for xposed framework called all in one gestures.
Is there a way to reposition where the sms popup shows up on the screen? Mine by default shows up in the top left of the screen and I use my right hand most of the time so to reach that far is tough when only using one hand.

My G2 put them there too. As far as I know, that's the only location, but maybe someone else has a better idea.
I constantly open my phone to check the time, hit the home key one handed and look at time on lock screen. But now I'm holding my phone by the bottom right corner and have dropped the phone before while trying to reach up and press the side button to close... it's a pain.
Sure I can sit there and wait for timeout, or I can put it back in my pocket, in which case it might "swipe open" and be doing all kinds of things while in there.
Wouldn't it be cool to look at the time and just click something, like the home button again, or the 'back button' and have the phone close again??
Anyone know how?

Are you rooted? If so using the home or back button could be possible via smali edit. If your not rooted, I can write an app that will show a square (size determined by you) that will show on your lock screen. When you tap this square, it will shut off the screen, tapping and moving your finger on the square will move the square. Square is removed once unlocked.

You can reassign one of the capacitive keys (e.g. "back button") to turn the display off with an Xposed framework module. And there are legions of apps that do similar actions if you do a search.
Even better IMO is to use a lock screen app like Dynamic Notifications which can automatically show you the time when you pull it out of your pocket and automatically turn off the screen as you put it back in a pocket. Without pressing any keys at all. It does this by using the proximity sensor and it works very well indeed.

They may not be running xposed. Therefore an xposed module may not work. Secondly, all lock screen apps suck. Also, if it's using the proximity sensor to turn on the display from your pocket, it's draining additional battery.

All lock screens suck? Your objectivity is astounding. No subjective bias there whatever. The idea is to provide options to the OP, not cater to your idiosyncrasies.
The battery draw for the suggested app is tiny, much less than most apps that do not poll the proximity sensor and you have no idea if the OP may or may not wish to use an Xposed module.

No lockscreen app can provide the same amount of security as the default lockscreen. Therefore, it sucks. I can and have gotten around all popular lockscreen apps on the play store. Yes, the idea is to provide options to the OP, but make them good options and practical options.

On the last several LG phones that I can remember, there have been 5 positions for navigation shortcuts. On this phone there are only 4. Does anyone know how to add that back in?
I noticed that too on the V30 it only has 4 home touch button slots. WTF?
Do you want the 5th item being the app drawer? If so go to settings, display, home screen, select home then select home & app drawer
My guess is that they had to cut one of the slots out so it wouldn't be crowded with the nav bar hide/app scaling icon now being to the far left.

I've got the full four down there and I've already accidentally ham fingered my nav bar out of existence a few times. First two times I did it I freaked out because I thought I had broken the UI somehow and made my nav bar stop functioning.

I don't suppose there is a setting to get rid of that button huh? Personally it would but the hell out of me having it there.

No, I haven't seen any option for that. I hide it on the home screen but I've realized if I am going to get burn in for anything, it'll be the Google search bar at the top of the home screen.

That works on the LG G5, but not the V30. And the V30 has a larger screen, so it makes no sense to take out the ability for a 5th button.
Hi,
I am on latest version of coloros 7. I have tried everything I know but have not been able to get rid of these home screen animations which look like brackets at the border of the bottom edges.
Please help.
Attaching pics for clear picture. Note the brackets () at the bottom edges.

I have tried resetting themes to default. Home screen settings to different drawer styles. Changing icon types. Assistive ball off.
Everything literally in home screen and lock screen magazine menu.
The thing is it happens only in full screen mode. With navigation buttons, those brackets dont exist.
Btw, do you have these jn your mobile?

I have absolutely no idea to be honest.
Have a look and see if there are any toggles you can turn on or off.
One at a time. Check. If no...turn back on/off. Check another.
Just a thought.
As I said...I cannot replicate the issue you have and it is clear that you have some settings on your device that I don't, so I'm kind of looking at this blindly

No problem.
I still have the original case and film screen protector that came in the box.
Found the solution
This is pretty much a swipe up to trigger google assistant, it appears when you turn on gesture control and it's a prompt (albeit not a very good one) to make you understand how to trigger it .
Since you can't swipe up from the middle to activate the assistant you need to swipe from the corners , do so 5 or 6 times and eventually the prompt disappears.
