Fully harness the display of lg g6 - LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion

1. Follow this thread and enable full display: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-hide-navigation-bar-status-bar-app-t3509747
2. Enable force long display in svc menu
3. download fingerprint quick action in playstore to use fingerprint as back and home button
4. if you want more control, download button mapper in playstore, assign volume down button hold for recents, and volume up button hold for toggle notification
sadly battery drain is an issue
enjoying full screen is the best, i wish phone manufactures enable some buttons at the back, imagine a near bezel less display fully utilized

Oh man more people should be trying this, looks wayyyyyyy better. I strongly recommend you leave the status bar . However just try to hide every thing, then leave the status bar and hide navigation bar only, u'll see what I really mean

im just experimenting for now, i wish some phone manufacturer can create a phone like this with more button controls at the back, im still observing if there are any battery drains

very well jugdement there, so I've been only using it for 3-4 hours this morning (in cluding standby time), android system takes up to 4% (normally its around 5-6% at the end of the day). I'll however keep this hidden navigation bar till the end of the day. I'll update soon

So there you go, it does drain some serious battery there. Very sad :crying:

Have you tried pie control instead of fingerprint control? It still leaves the whole screen for displaying content.

I immediately put everything back to normal haha. Well if you are OK with battery drain, you should forever have it that way cause the screen is just so pleasant to stare at

I have tried the Nexus P thread way to hide the navigation bar (except for YouTube and whatsapp) and then use xda LMT 2.8 pie app and it is working great for me, without extra drain as of today.
I turned each app into 18:9.

G2 Bugs/Problems/Issues Thread *VIDEOS INSIDE*

so i figured starting a general thread for bugs and issues would be a better idea to consolidate everything into one thread!
I've got the Verizon G2, so it would be interesting to see if other carriers have the same issue. These are all, for the most part, software issues.
for me, its:
1.) Launcher Redraw.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpn-hZnEPqg (ending shows homescreen launcher lag too)
I've posted a video yesterday, and will be posting another today showing how after almost every app, the launcher is redrawing, and therefore causes lag if you goto switch screens after hitting home. doesn't always do it, but does for the majority of the time. it does it enough that it warranted me rooting the phone to try to fix it, so I'm going to give v6 supercharger a go soon and do the bulletproof launcher. I'm apprehensive though because we don't have recovery to make a nandroid...
2.) *solved*Lag on notification drop down on lock screen
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLWUXOu68d8
did you set your wallpaper to non scrolling? if you didn't know you can do this, you can. if you goto gallery and select a custom wallpaper, at the top it gives the option of non scroll or scroll, which is awesome. however, beware.. when you do non scroll, for some weird reason your notification drop down will lag in the home screen. setting it back to scrolling wallpaper alleviates this. very weird
3.) Audio during video recording.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6Sp5V5Hv0 (also shown is the "breathing" auto focus we all experience.)
The audio during video recording uses noise cancelling mics, which can be good as we've seen in other flagship phones. however, on the g2, they sound identical to the htc rezound from 2011. that phone had really bad wishy washy underwater sounding audio when the source was remotely loud. the g2 does the same thing sadly. other phones, such as the htc dna (shows that htc learned their lesson..) and the gs3/gs4 do not have this issue.. hell, even the galaxy nexus didn't.
I'm hoping that once we get developers on it, they'll make a modified camera that can allow for either the reduction in gain from the microphones, or to be able to cancel the noise cancellation to stop the underwater sound. on the rezound, htc somewhat fixed it with the ics update. here's hoping LG will do the same.
4.) Speaker has built in limiter/compression.
this is most annoying because i like listening to music on the speaker. sounds good but the thing is its being compressed and limited at a certain level, so you don't actually hear the best quality of the song. for example if the drums get really loud, it compresses and limits them down to your volume level, which takes away intensity of the song and just doesn't make it sound even. hoping to find a setting to turn this off...
5.) screen brightness changes with Auto brightness off depending on what's on the screen.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slwkFhpiYbs&feature=youtu.be
this is that content adaptive brightness crap that they forced on the phone. it changes based on more whites or more blacks on the screen, then dims and brightens accordingly. it's incredibly annoying and there's currently no way to turn it off. in titanium i found an app called content adaptive back light and then i removed it.. it still does it.
what issues are you having with it?
Sent from my LG G2 using Tapatalk 4
my wallpaper doesn't scroll and when I pull the notification bar down I don't have any lag.
I'm gonna post the video when i get home from work. it does it every single time I have non scrolling on the stock launcher, and once I switch to scrolling, it's smooth again. remember, this is on the lockscreen.

1. There is a headphone CPU noise issue when charging. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448854
2. Transparency for status bar/soft buttons only seems to work for stock wallpapers.

Really? when i was playing with the verizon version. the homescreen/app drawer was still transparent with a wallpaper i had downloaded from goodfon.com. when you went to apps it went away. but kept at transparent on the ones i stated. i guess i'll find out tomorrow when my G2 arrives.

Yes this is unfortunate and unreliable. I wonder if an update can fix this. They may worried about it being too sensitve.
On another matter, my Verizon version is prone to turning on the camera or note pad when in my pocket via the rear buttons. Even prone to turning on the phone when sitting on a table off because of the sensitivity of the rear buttons. Not sure if it is just the verizon model or both.

Your pic shows status bar shaded darker. I see truly transparent on stock wallpaper. There is a slight shading on bottom soft keys, but otherwise transparent.
Another thing I see -- transparent forces soft keys to be white regardless of what you select.
I got intermittent distortion with my Icon HD bluetooth headset during calls. Doesnt matter if the phone is in my pocket or just sitting on a desk next to me. This didnt happen with any of my previous phones (S4, One, Nexus)
Lock Screen Camera App Image?
Is this supposed to happen? If I start a swipe to unlock, the camera app image goes away, but then comes back...
Is this a shortcut to the camera? Usually if I swipe from an app on the bottom that is my shortcut.
yeah man swipe to the left to bring up camera like on stock android.

Where is that located?!?!?!?!? I keep seeing the an icon on the task bar that is a box with an eye in the corner and generally the brightness changes when it comes on, but I can't find any info on the icon. I think it might be that, not sure.
The issue I notice is when I get a text and click on it to go to the convo about 25% of the time it goes to the top of the thread and not the bottom where the most recent text is.....

get quick shortcut maker and type in content adaptive.. and it'll come up. make a shortcut open the app, and turn it off.. tell me if you notice. because I turned it off, and it STILL did the annoying brightness change. then I deleted the app in titanium and it still does it anyway.

Double-tap To Wake Screen?

Is there any app, Xposed module, mod, etc to get the "double-tap to wake screen" feature like LG phones have?
I tried an app that woke the phone by waving in front of the proximity sensor, but that was a battery hog.
Would like to be able to wake phone without power button.
I'm running PAC ROM which does have double-tap to sleep.
Thanks for any suggestions!
2nd this.
This is typically dependent on the kernel. It also needs to have support by the hardware, otherwise there is massive battery drain. I'm 99% certain our phone does not have the proper hardware for it.
We have douple tap to sleep. But not wake.

You just echoed the OP .
What can be done to get wake on tap is my question.
You would have to start by removing tap to sleep.
Can't have both. Its doable but as said earlier it would cause drain issues.

Why can't we have both like LG?
I would prefer double-tap to wake, since I already have icons/apps that can put the phone to sleep like Green if click on an icon.
How does LG do this without battery drain problem I wonder?

Still doable. Not sure what all can be done to reduce drain. Its like Google now voice detection. Disabling that increases battery life as well. So it really boils down to what you are willing to sacrifice for a particular function addition.

Implementation with a disable switch solves that. User can decide turnoff if too much battery drain.
Yep. Would only make sense to be able to disable it. If I couldn't disable Google now voice I would delete it all together... Handy tool. But I enjoy my battery life way to much.

I use it every day, all the time. I liked it so much as to pay for the it, not using the demo, which is sufficient. No, it doesn't drain the battery.

Global ROM 10.2.1 is out with numerous bugfixes, and new security patch

New Security patch is dated 01.12.2018.
Battery is also tweaked, it is only possible to choose graphical or percentage within the battery itself. Adaptive battery is there, maybe it was not new but I haven't seen it before.
Also, now we have several new option to choose inside multitasking window...

Yes, there is still a battery in the device. It seems that the new version doubled the capacity. 10.1 -> 10.2. And there will be an XIAOMI coffee pot which can be connected to the USB-port. Just download the MIUI V10 coffee brewer app from fuggbatterydiscussions.com. :silly:

Not that I know...
I can confirm notifications are now working in AOD, not all apps notifications are being displayed though. WhatsApp, GMail, Messenger ok, MS Teams and Outlook are not. Also the notifications appear but if you unlock and lock the screen without viewing the notifications they no longer show. Don't seem to be persistent like on the Samsung AOD. Maybe something to do with the notification/clock process which also only occurs once at screen unlock.
Auto-brightness is still shocking (I'm using Velis) and again AOD always turns off in low (no) light, making it very much not 'always on'. Full-screen mode seems to be working better, with animations following gestures being far less laggy.

On-screen notifications with screen off?

So, the LED is way too tiny for my aging eyes (also cannot get it to change colours with Lightflow anyway). I am looking for some sort of app that can show a notification on the screen when the screen is off. I don't want the screen to turn on. I just want some sort of icon to show up. I used to use an app called NoLed that would do this. You could customize icons for different notifications, colours, timing, duration, etc. Looks like that app is long gone.
I've been trying a bunch of different "edge lighting" apps, hoping to find one that will simply light up the edges to notify my (when the screen is off). So far, none of them work the way I want (or at all).
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Ah-ha! Thank you so much sir!
There are several drop-in AOD replacement apps, and they work well, but... From all reports they drink your battery too much to be worth it. Too bad, not sure why Huawei didn't go that next obvious step and have control over 'per app' notifications and such. It pretty much makes the stock AOD useless unless you really, really like knowing what time it is.
Maybe give a try to this, a perfect AOD application fully customizable !

I tried this and was unable to get it to work. All I want it to do is light up the edges of the screen when the screen is off and a notification comes in. I had all the settings looking like they were correct. I chose difference colours for different apps, but no go. It wouldn't even work when trying "test". It would only work with the screen on.

Tested and approved by your servitor right here, look at the screen shot I took when I just received a notification.

I tried that app, while i did get it to work fine, it was a massive battery drain & I mean massive.

Same here.. 30% overall drain overnight.. Means at least 20% by the app itself
Just gave this app a try and it's got a few quirks to it. If I leave the "allow fingerprint functionality" after about 3 seconds the fingerprint location lights up and that's all that shows on the screen.
I also noticed when unlocking, face detection is no longer automatic. I have to double tap the screen to dismiss this app and then double tap again to start the face unlock.
Its a shame the stock aod is so terrible

The stock AOD will hopefully be better soon as Huawei in it's p30 pro latest firmware will add 3rd party access to the AOD, so developers can add functionality to the AOD.

How I setup LED notifications on S10

I know there is a thread on the app, but here's a video of me setting it up

This is super helpful, thank you for going through this. I got it setup but still having some issues - the notch light is always on haha. going to have to tweak this some more.
Hey all,
Check out the app LED Blinker Pro, there is an option to have a blinking light on the screen. Looks exactly like previous samsung phones, and you can also have multiple lights for different notifications. Problem solved!

Did you try it and does it work?
Just to know if the API that supports it is there.
It seems the downsides of all the led apps is that once you get the notification you can't unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor, you have to double tap the screen or something to cancel the app and then unlock the phone.
Working pretty well for me this far. I added this app on my gf's and my S10 Plus's. Besides going through the bevy options we have it setup. The light only goes around the camera when a notification comes in. Still doing some tsing so I'll update if anything.

There is an option though that you can select that if you pickup your phone, it goes right to the lock screen so you don't have to dismiss the led screen.
nice app but it's a killing battery

I noticed that, but then beside it it said it uses more power. I switched to aod instead, if only you could get rid of the clock and date and simply have notifications on it.

You can disable just the clock. I've tired and it works. See attached for settings
