Anyone notice LG doesn't have "force dark mode" option in developer settings? Huge bummer.

What are you trying to accomplish?
I just keep the phone in night mode all day long so the backgrounds stay black/dark.

It's for apps that don't have a native dark mode. That setting would force them to adopt dark mode. Like the facebook app. Samsung and Pixel have that option but it doesn't look like LG phones have it :/.

I would love something like that, but don't think it exists for G8X. Unbelievable that Google Hangouts does not have a dark mode yet . I'm surprised Facebook doesn't, but I don't use it.

And it's true! I've been using this rom for a couple of day and the battery actually last longer when using wifi especially.
How does this compare to 651.167.20 that I've been running for three weeks already?
Lower version numbering?
Updated, so far so good. In Apps menu it says 7 hidden, but when I go to Hidden apps there is only six apps
No sign of it here in sunny Scotland yet. (I'm on a SIM-free UK retail RAZR)
The words "Battery life improvements" make me go all warm and fuzzy!

Visual voicemail app for AT&T network

I have the H850 European unlocked version of the G5 but am using it on the US AT&T network. Based on documentation for the AT&T specific H820, there us a visual voicemail function that shows up on the dialer in the phone app. Does anyone know of a way to get this working on the H850?
Thanks for any advice or direction.

The AT&T Visual Voicemail app is available on Google Play.
I tried to get this to work on my unlocked G5 (RS988) used on AT&T here in the US, and it says the app is not compatible with my device. This is total BS because the AT&T branded G5 comes with AT&T Visual Voicemail pre-loaded. If someone figures out how to get this working, please share. Thanks.

I checked the AT&T app for my current phone US992 and it will load. If you are seeing the not compatible error you could download the apk from the Play Store using an apk downloader like evozi.

Thanks for that suggestion, or I may just copy the .apk over from my prior phone (AT&T branded HTC One m7) to the G5.
Is the AT&T Visual Voicemail app working for you?

I don't have AT&T but it will install from the Play Store.
I am thinking the phone / contacts app from the stock AT&T ROM and maybe other components would do it, based on the orange circled icon in this image from the AT&T help documents:
I could not find any links to download the ROM / updates (latest was H82011k) except for OTA instructions. So we would need to find out what files we need and get someone with the H820 to copy the files out for us - any volunteers?
I downloaded the AT&T visual voicemail app from the play store, but it is for U-verse and unified messaging customers, and does not work for standard wireless customers like me.
So I finally found something that works. AT&T has a visual voicemail app but the G5 is set as incompatible in the Play Store. Based on AT&Ts help page they think it is already installed on the device, not considering there are multiple versions.
Anyway I downloaded the APK from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/att-se...al-voicemail-4-0-0-0095-android-apk-download/
I tried using Market Helper to change my device to a compatible one but could not get that to work.
I verified the above app works. Even transcribes your voicemail! I am just missing the shortcut on the dialer screen to the VVM app, but I can live with that.
Hope this helps other AT&T users.
I just found what I think is the most current version of this app: http://apk-files.org/apk/com.att.mobile.android.vvm/at%26t+visual+voicemail/

Geez, dont konw if you can block complete access, but you could go into app manager, locate that app, remove all permissions and prevent cellular data use - or at least backgound use.

LG can't remove feature that even doesn't exist in Android. Your previous phone probably was some cheap xiaomi which indeed have some options in their custom miui ROMs. But nor Pixels nor Samsungs not have such feature

Ya i am telling some example for this, i have MX player free version, which will show annoying Ads all the times that everyone knows. if we have blocked this app from accessing internet( not only in background but permanently ) then it wont show any Ads. this is what happened with my previous mobile 10 or G which has pure android and it has not a single modification in Stock Android. I just exchanged that 10 or G to buy this LG V30+, other wise i would have show the Screenshot where the option present for blocking the app from internet in Data section of the settings.

G8X WideMode view app also works on the V60

The application made for the LG G8X that enables any app to be put in wide mode also works on the LG V60 ThinQ.
It is available from the Play Store.
Original G8X thread here.
I contacted the developer to see if he can duplicate the app for the V60, but in the meantime the G8X version works on the V60.

What do you mean by duplicating the app as it works fine, is there a feature not working in tbe v60?
Which version you was using?
I just downloaded 1.1.2 version, app name changed to " wide screen for LG".
This version didn't work with my new v60.
1.1.3
I tried the latest version 1.1.3 on my T-Mobile LG v60 and it did not work.

That is weird, t-mobile here and it works on 1.1.3 the app was updated to widemode for LG and it is working.
Make sure to go into the quick settings and you'll see it called "Wide Mode", then you'd have to connect the second screen, then from any app swipe down your quick settings and add it.
I uninstalled and reinstalled and it's now working. Thank you.
Thanks works like a champ.

I had no issues installing and using the newest version of this app available on the Google Play Store.
Every app I threw at it (not many, admittedly) worked as well as I could have hoped.
I wound up retiring my dual-screen accessory for now because it made typing in portrait incredibly uncomfortable and the neither Nova Launcher nor Fluid Navigation Gestures work on the second screen.
Neat idea, but the experience is just too compromised for my preferred software environment to offset the cumbersome implementation.

This app was working with kiwi browser on my android 10 v50 but I upgraded to android 12 and this doesn't work with kiwi browser anymore (still works with chrome though), any idea for a solution ?? thanks !
UPDATE :
for what it's worth I had an old v93 version of "kiwi browser (next)" and WideMode is working with this version !
(also with old v88 version of Ungoogled-chromium-android-extensions )
... now I have a good adblocker (ublock) and real fullscreen (with floatly) when browsing the web with my 2 screens ...

Question Xiaomi pad 5 pro 5g dailer APK testing. Has anyone?

I just ordered mine today from Hong Kong and eager to get it in my hands in 3-4 days so I wanted to ask some questions on what others have tried regarding dialers. I want to make and receive calls and SMS.
I see Xiaomi have their the dailer apks available to download. Has anyone tried?
Xiaomi Contacts and dialer 11.0.8.1 APK Download by Xiaomi Inc - APKMirror
Xiaomi Contacts and dialer 11.0.8.1 APK Download by Xiaomi Inc - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads

I will try all the latest and previous versions. If it's been tried and doesn't work then I can save some time.
Cheers.
i think its wont work cause it lack of baseband

Thanks for the reply. After reading i went off to research basebands and I'm confident it's a software thing, not hardware related.
There are ways to modify the baseband without root but need unlocked bootloader according to some Google searches but they are a little old and for previous versions of android.
Maybe just copy the baseband partition of the Poco F3. Same chip, nearly same specs except for the screen.
Time will tell. Ill have it tomorrow morning.
We'll just an update on the SMS.
It works flawlessly out the box. Just use the Xiaomi messages APK and works a charm. Can send and receive all the messages from the banks.
Going through the notification menu and it's got the dailer and contacts built in already but app not showing on the window. I can't toggle or change the app.
Maybe they will implement calls in am upcoming update.

Have you gotten any luck with the tablet? Does installing google dailer work? I'm looking to get the 5g one imported but not being to make calls is a set-back.
Edit : Found out it's called phone by google now.
