Really like this phone and the theme options - LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Finally upgraded from my tried and true V10 and couldn't be happier.
This is how my theme is currently set up and I think it's a great combination of dark and beautiful. [emoji16]
Really liking this live wallpaper. Super black with brilliant colors.

Can you share what theme? Is that a launcher as well? I'm wanting the V40 but I don't like using third party launchers at all.

I'm not a fan of third party launchers either. I use the stock Home+App Drawer launcher.
Theme,*wallpaper, icon, font*and clock widget all from play store or LG World. No additional launcher needed.*
Wallpaper - Pitch Black
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codestudios.pitchblack.wallaper
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tecdrop.pitchblackwallpaper
Theme - Sensor*
http://us.lgworld.com/store/share.dev?k=000001177788021
Icon only - Sensor*
http://us.lgworld.com/store/share.dev?k=000001177787586
Live Wallpaper - AMOLED*
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxelus.livewallpaper.amoled
If you donate a small amount it gives you access to other settings.*
Another cool live*wallpaper from the same dev.*
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxelus.livewallpaper.zentaled
Clock widget - Digital Clock Widget
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maize.digitalClock
Once I set the theme/icon I changed the clock widget color to match.*
This is a sweet font to go along with the sensor theme.*
System font - HYStarWars

Thank you so much for providing the links for the LG smart world downloads. I was having a hard time getting LG smart world to work on my Verizon V40. But it finally installed the smart world app with the links you shared. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing @retardedtiming ... especially going the extra mile and explaining how you tweaked it! You've no idea how helpful that is to novices like me. Wish I could give more than 1 Thumbs Up.
Wish more contributors explained it that thoroughly.

Outside of rooting, or the Smart World app, where can we find compatable fonts, for the V40.?
I feel no need to root but Smart World's content appears to be aimed at teenage girls. I'm wanting something with a more Gothic feel.

I'd like the phone even more if I had full control over it (i.e. TWRP flashable). Well it's not my phone, but I administer my mother's, which as an admin would be very helpful. It's a sh*tty trend that more & more OEMs have these anti-consumer polices. I wish the EU would step in and force OEMs to make the handout of unlock codes to consumers mandatory if said consumer requests.

I just put it on my phone LOVE it........
Thank you very much! It looks beautiful in Axim X51v.
By the way.. is there any way to avoid showing the seconds in the clock? I´d like to see only the hours and the minutes.
Anyway, it´s a great and very light application.
Super nice clock! Thank you for this GREAT CLOCK!!!!!!
I want this with the messaging icons (email, missed calls, text messages, and maybe a voice mail counter)
This looks great! I've been looking for a clock that included seconds.
Great Job, thanks!!!
Great Clock
Goodbye Htc Home.
I was using Sm Digital clock but I think this is better.
Thanks for this gift.
And don't assume people don't need it because they have htc home; I used it for months but got tired of the screen estate it occupies and considering that I have spb plus, the other tabs of htc home were just redundant (personal preference, I guess).
Keep up the good work.
nice job going to try it out
the ability to have a folder we can change the fonts on the go, and the color of the fonts wold be great. something like the HTC customizer they have...or would that work with this?
Hello pocket digital clock, goodbye htchome...
mobile shell 2.0 dominated my htchome.. i was just using it for the big clock, but thanks to this i can get rid of htchome... thanks ionized
This is a great, simple, low overhead clock app. Just what I have been looking for...
One thing:
Any possibility you can build a custom font for the popular SegoeUI TTF that is being implemented in a lot of the 6.1 ROMS?
Thanks again!!

I too would like this although I know it is much to ask for. Maybe theres a separate program that could be used in conjunction with this that shows the counters?
Wow. I didn't expect this much replies. Thanks for all the support.
As for those who wish for more specific arrangements and functions, I would recommend rlToday, which is extremely customizable. But of course, customizability comes with higher overheads. At this point in time, I do not have plans to formulate too many designs. I'm afraid there will be no further updates unless there is a critical bug.
brock1909, initially, I made this program with a folder of its own and with the ability to change fonts on-the-go. Unfortunately, there is a well-known Windows Mobile bug that lets registered fonts outside the Windows folder take over fonts in other non-related programs. The same thing happens if you place fonts under the \Windows\Fonts\ directory. It was discussed in the forums of phoneAlarm and rlToday where custom fonts are often used with skins. Eventually, I had no choice but to adopt the current design.
By the way, font color will change based on your Today Theme.
As for Segoe UI font request, I'll make this an exceptional case since I like the font as well. However, because I do not know what are the legal implications of using such copyrighted materials, I will not place them on my custom font page.
P.S. Segoe UI is optimized for ClearType. It won't look good if ClearType is disabled.

P.S. Awesome work on the clock. I'm loving it.

Looks good so far. I like the layout alot. Cannot wait till you have a good beta. Ill be happy to test as well.
sent from my fascinating fascinate eating delicious froyo.
Looking good DiGi! I'm already running the launcher from this, and loving it... count me in once you've got a Beta. And this is more of just an aesthetic thing, but the dock bar at the bottom seems really thick... is there any possible way to make it a bit thinner? Besides that, perhaps a notification bar color and layout that matches the blue glassy launcher a little better. Keep up the awesome work!
neato. shoot me a pm if you want a tester.
Looking good DiGi looking forward to this, really liking the layout. Agreed with the dock bar, but its all legit. Keep it up dude. See ya in IRC.

Any possibly of getting that fancy widget clock.apk?
Man this looks amazing! Super stoked for the development on this. I may have an idea on how to make the scrolling transparent instead of turning black when touched (if it's not taken care of already). I work two weeks on, two weeks off and I am scheduled to go back to work in a few days and android time is on hold while I'm there. At any rate, let me know if assistance is needed. Again...Amazing work here.
I must know what beautiful weather skin your using?
Very nice. Like the look and what not. Keep us posted!

I tried it as well - it is just a waste of the huge screen real estate.
Putting some interesting widgets and and a bunch of icons (shortcuts) is more useful than this...
But I can see the appeal - on phone screens.
But then again, some like it simple.

I have been using this for a few weeks now. It is a really neat and tidy launcher. It is also really easy to download pictures, resize and load them onto the launcher - all within the tablet. Makes it look good and gives access to favorite programs.

Diversity is what makes life interesting & those who embrace new or different paths or even encourage diverse & differing interests are the catalyst for invention & creativity. IMO

Have you done the book tile by yourself or do you have a good download link for tiles.
I like this launcher a lot, it´s so easy to use and customize.

Make Your Own Clock Widget

Just found this app the other day and love it. It is a highly customizable clock widget. You can design your own clock or download one of the many prebuilt ones. Dev is super responsive too! App is still beta but is awesome! I have no connection with this app, I just wanted to share a good app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock
That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing man!
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to play with this a bit.
Have you heard of ultimate custom clock widget? In my humble opinion it is the one and only app that allows you to have the most freedom and ease in regards to customization. It is amazing just thought I'd let you know in case you haven't seen it.

Wow i just checked that out and it has a ton of features! Checking it out but seems like it will take forever to design.
I like "Make Your Own Clock" because "Ultimate" overwhelmed me. If there was a way to use Ultimate on the PC and download the clock to my phone I could do it, but I'm just not that nimble on a 4.3" screen!
Sent from this here thing that can taptalk
The ultimate one is growing on me. I could easily waste a day or two at work messing with it. Lol.
Problem is it doesnt resize well.
Edit: actually it does. Just needed to read the faq.
I think either one of these plus screencast should make it a lot better to play with.

I'm glad you like it! It seems overwhelming at first but once you get going its easy. Plus its fun to import a skin from the thread and modify it and use them as a starting point for you. I thought that I'd come across rude after I posted in here cause afterwards I thought about it and I could it have been misconstrued as an attempt to hijack your thread. Apologies on that.
Btw a trick I use for finding new skins is searching on Google under the images tab. Adjust the time parameters to last week or 24 hours and you can find skins that aren't posted to xda enjoy and have fun. Hope to see some of your skins in the official skins thread!

Don't know if I'm missing something or not. But I am not seeing the widget in the widgets list. I created a clock and exported it. I see it on my SD card. But I can't figure out how to set on my desktop. I watched over half the video before having to start work also. Any help would be great. I would love to get rid of the stock sense clock.
EDIT: Nevermind. The widgets decided they wanted to appear last night.

Post your favorite ZTE Locker Wallpapers here!!!

I am opening this thread to allow everyone to have access to the best ZTE Locker daily collection wallpapers. This is particularly important if like me you forgot to save a favorite wallpaper - they together removed the following day.
To save a wallpaper you just tap on the heart symbol and then move it to the MFVKeyguard folder by saving it as a favorite.
I have attached some of my favorites.

One picture I missed is a picture of the palace from the wallpaper below but from a different perspective. I would appreciate if you could post it!

Very nice selection! :good:
Hey, I'm sorry if this might be a bit off-topic but since this thread is about ZTE Locker it's probably the best opportunity I'll have to bring this up. (without cluttering up the forum with a new thread)
tl;dr - I suggest some MiFavor UI improvements
So, if you use ZTE Locker that's great and all, but all pics are different.
And in cases such as the one I have attached, the clock is not clearly visible, nor are the icons at the bottom.
And with your launcher, it samples your set wallpaper for a hue and alters the MiFavor QuickSettings background based upon that. But, this can lead to some... questionable results. For example, if I were to set my wallpaper to something that is primarily yellow, ZTE is put in a dilemma.
White on bright yellow isn't really readable, so they'd have to use a darker shade. But have you ever seen dark yellow?
It's one nasty ass color. (look up #888800)
And I know different people have different color tastes, but there's still certain colors and combinations that are considered unfavorable. Yay for color theory!
So, with yellow they'd probably be best off using black text and icons.
But a color like purple is usually thought of as a deep color (though lavender is nice too) so they can stick with the white icons and text.
Ultimately, it's probably best to give the user to decide whether to use the dynamic view or to set their own color manually.
I just feel like ZTE is very new to the UI scene. But, I'm not a fan of ditching MiFavor for completely stock Android. I think ZTE has something to bring to the table. They just need to work on their color sampling and maybe make some UI adjustments based on the user's preferences.
Anyhow, that's my 2 cents
Definitely one of my favorites!
Definitely kept me smiling for the rest of the day

i just found 3 new wallpapers, thank you
I have about 70 of them on my phone
Also, I did a reverse image search on one and found they steal them from other sites.
It seemed like a handful were on a photo of the week thing on usatoday.com but I can't remember
Can anyone upload a compressed (doesn't compress much I know) archive of the ZTE wallpapers? Ever since I unlocked my bootloader it no longer loads for me, it just says weak signal no matter what. I don't know if it's a coincidence and there's something wrong with their server or if it won't allow modified systems to connect.
Here's a few more from yesterday
