Is there any way to remove the bottom launcher bar off the home screen? I can remove all apps but one. I want it completely gone if possible.
Only way to do that is to change launcher, and then have a swipe gesture to hide/show it.
Yeah, use GMD auto hide soft keys. Must be rooted. It's the best. I have mine set up with all gestures instead of buttons.

Saw one thread about rooting and hiding launcher but based on feedback, someones phone messed up so i am reluctant to try it. Could someone point us into right direction, appreciate any help.

I wouldn't be too scared to root. I really know very little about rooting and all that and this was the second device I rooted. There are more than enough resources on Xda as well as YouTube just to make it that much more idiot proof. As long as you are smart with your mods and stuff you'll catch on really easily and learn as you go. I never flash roms or anything, just correct the little things (Like hiding the navigation bar, fixing volume issues) and really enhance my experience. And it is easy enough to go back to stock. If I could do it, just about anybody can do it.

This is what I used to root. It was very helpful and couldn't have been easier. Took me 3 minutes.

The question is : where is the root guide.
There are some floating around for other flavors of the G2, but I haven't seen an officially well received root CM release
but I'm definitely looking

Just switched over from Samsung Fascinate (hey nitsuj17). 4g is super fast I'm loving this phone, got all the vzw bloat disabled. Can't wait for s-off, root and all that good stuff.
I have one question though. Why is there no notification quick-settings, wasn't that added in 4.1?

I thought I was gonna hurl the thing out a window when I first got it. Now I use the recent apps button all the time. I sure miss having them rotate though
And I agree, I miss the search button.
Long press on the home button for recent apps is more efficient use of the buttons. Then the recent apps button could be search.

Unless I am mistaken, this is how the "3-button mod" works. It will be another benefit of the pending root.

quick setting and htc on sense4/4.1/4/5/4+ has been an oddity for sure across the one series and other phones
on random ota/roms they enable it, others they disable it, others they completely remove the code
many sense4.1 ota's enabled a toggle in settings that allowed for switching of "recent" apps to menu...ours didnt for some reason
once you are rooted, custom roms fix this issue...and viperRom allows you to completely remap the long presses of all 3 buttons, and select what you want the menu to be
cant wait for root then

Hello guys.
This may sound like a complicated request, and it may be impossible to implement, but wouldn't it be nice if we could activate the multiwindow "pane" without using/holding the back button? A la SwipePad/LMT/Glovebox/Swapps style, using invisible swipe areas on the edge/s of the screen to show the "pane" of apps for multiwindow. That would really make multiwindow AWESOME for multitasking!
As it is now, for some apps, long-pressing the back button causes some apps to actually recognize that the back was pressed and would, simply, "go back" instead of usually doing nothing. This really irks me. I hope you understand what I'm talking about...
Anyway, if any developer works on this idea, I would be so grateful. :fingers-crossed:
Use simplistic framework control
GMD Gesture Control will allow you to activate multiwindow and you get to define the gesture

Hi Guys, i am starting this thread to share some of the Official LG hidden options which have been overshadowed by a race of themes, patches, custom roms, etc to make your device better. I've found these hidden options after fiddling around with my device for hours and I was surprised to know it was there the whole time and I was unaware about it. I know many of us will be surprised but would also like to:good: Invite people to share if they know they have found a secret inside their device.
Changing Homescreen Icons:
This is the pictures of my Homescreen before the change:
Steps-1
Press & hold icon for 2 secs & then release. as you release you'll see a small paint brush picture on the top of the icon. When you see that quickly tap the Icon again.
Step 2:
Now you can choose icons from the presets or use our own picture from the phone by clicking on CREATE PHOTO ICON.
Step 3:
Now select the icon picture from your gallery and done! :laugh: :good:
Wow!
OMG! I Surprised. But i don't think that its HIDDEN.
But Nice.
Ya may be not for you but i thought sharing would be nice.
woooow. that's a secret!

That seems like a setting you wouldn't want to mess with.
Just because a setting can be changed, doesn't mean it should be.
Having used AOSP for the past year, it's taking me some time to get used to the LG features, but it's interesting.

If anyone wants to get qslide out of the notification tray, I found a guide on androidcentral that worked.
To remove qslide from your notification tray...
First, pull down the notification tray, then in the quick setting at the top, scroll to the right and look for qslide. If you have it, toggle it and qslide will go away. If you don't have it in quick settings already, select edit and add it in. Then go back and toggle it, then return to settings and remove the qslide toggle. Qslide will be gone like it should be and we will have world peace!

You can turn off auto dimming without root, the option is under settings -> display
it's not auto brightness though. it's something completely different.

U talking about thermal throttling that when it gets a certain temp, it dims they display? This can be turned off in the service menu ....
Open dialer, and type 3845*#800# I always turn off thermal throttling that dims ur display when phone gets over 100 degrees. Do this by going to High temperature property off, and thermal deamon mitigation off, and enable them both...
That is the code for the at&t version. The 800 between the #'s is the model number, so Verizon guys would insert there model there...

Has anyone had issues getting the one handed (smaller screen view) working? I am stock unrooted and I have checked the box in settings to allow one handed access on all screens. I've watched all of the videos about how to make it work by swiping from off the screen edge and off again in one motion without lifting your finger and it still won't activate. I'm running nova launcher and I tried in the browser and several other apps with no sucess. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to make sure you have it turned on. When I got my phone, on Saturday, by default it was off.
