[Q] Theme option missing - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people,
My LG G2 theme settings suddenly went missing when I restarted my phone, all the themes settings are gone. Don't even have the button for the themes.(Normally will have the themes option when you go to the display settings) I can't even use the knock on normally as if it's not the default launcher.
Need some help please.
Thank you.

Did you mistakenly delete the home launcher?
If so install this.

I'll give it a try right now, I don't know what happened, I just restarted my phone and everything was gone, no theme option and the double tap wouldn't work. Thank you so much for this, its downloading right now. I'll let you know if it works.

Didn't work, says "application not installed"

I had the same problem which is solved now.
just go settings >> general >> apps
Menu >> reset app preferences
Menu >> reset default apps.
hope that helps.

How do you locate your downloaded themes? and the original LG theme...
I have tried to access via file manager and deleted them all but still no luck...

This is generated by the optimus theme installation that updates part of your default basic theme.
The update of the theme generated an error because the theme is not compatible.
When you restart the phone the damaged theme is applied and this caused the issue you explain.
How to solve?
It's easy. Go to system settings > general > downloaded apps. Click on basic theme and choose uninstall updates, than restart the phone.
The problem is solved.
Hope it helps.

[Q] Widget weather and rom bruce2728-d80220d

Hello,
I installed a new rome yesterday http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748883
But yet, the apps Weather doesn't work, when i click on, it said : The apps need a weather theme on update center.
But on the update center i haven't the weather theme to download.
Anyone can help me? If someone have the apps for flash...
Thanks
Reflash the rom. Seems you did something wrong.
It has to be in the downloads.
Sounds like something has happened to the LGWeatherTheme.apk. Check it is still there in system/app with root explorer.

Hi,
For the second time i did a wipe (cache / dalvik / system /data) and same things.
I check the folder system/app before and now and i haven't the files : LGWeatherTheme.apk
I try to download the stock weather widget on the forum but doesn't work.
if you have another idea....
Thank you !
When you click the weather widget it should offer you a download - 70-80 mb. :/
if it did, I don't come to ask for help.... I'm not completely stupid
When i click on, the update centeris open and nothing, i can't download something.
When i took a LG weather widget stock and i try to install it, it failed.
You don't need the stock weather widget you just need the lgweathertheme.apk/odex and they are not installed they are copied to system/app, given the rw-r--r--(0644) permissions and when you reboot it should be installed

I did it before i come here but it doesn't work even i put the good permission
I'll change the rom
Thank you

[APP] Android L Launcher

Just wanted to mention that the official Android L launcher works on our Tabs
I have attached the .apk
You have to change the build.prop to get the new UI
set ro.build.version.codename to L and reboot
It works also as a system app, no FC's.
Supports 4.2.2 / 4.3 / 4.4.2
Note: You have to update/download the latest Google Search app and Google Mail may force closing
Proceed with caution, you may end up having boot-loops !
Thanks go to:

good to know, thanks!
Not quite...
UA,
hi i would ask that you amend your post to mention this launcher requires google search to be functional.
As per your instructions I did so and the launcher does not register as system app without google search,
and on regular install call for updated google search to function.
thank you for reading.

When you say, "set it to L", you ARE referring to the property value under where it says ro.build.etc.... correct?

Yes, you have to set the value for ro.build.version.codename to the letter L.

What device do you have?
What Android is it running?
Did you deinstall, Touchwiz (Samsung stock) launcher?
Did you set the launcher as a system app?

gt-5200, 4.4.2 deodexed stock...
No i did not, i just installed given apk (it updated current google now launcher), and changed build.prop
anyway, i tryed to fix premisions, and delete the google launcher from the app folder from recovery, but still rebooting continued.
and while trying to fix the build.prop from the recovery, i funked the system a bit, so a reflashed the whole rom again, so I'm back at the begining... (no new launcher, but tab works fine...)

It seems like, you screwed up inside the build.prop
Or, it only works as a system app on 4.4.2, that would be bad.
I will check that, thank you for trying and sorry if you got any problems because of me.

well, i used root explorer to edit build.prop, and i didnt change anything except switch REL with L...
but i guess build.prop was screwed somehow, it managed to stay on for a while before the reboot a few times (for about half a minute), but it kept giving the fc error screens for play services, mail, etc, and then restarted again.
I will try it in a few minutes!

When first time I installed this launcher I changed the build.prob as u said....
And after a week I came to know that gmail is get fc's every time
I saw the log of gmail and came to know that the changes made in the build.prob coz of that gmail app getting fc...
Then I changed it to og value in build.prob
From then everything is working totally fine
So I don't think that we should change the codename, without changing it everything is working fine...even gmail app

System UI crash, navbar/stautus bar?

Hey guys
So my dumb ass installed a custom status bar (substratum), and I had a navbar overlay installed. After a reboot I just get the "System UI has stopped" error. Black screen, can't get anywhere.
Any way to manually delete it? Hoping to not having to do a complete reset, since well... a lot of stuff is on there... And I need my phone tomorrow...

This exact problem has happened to me.. I keep a spare backup in hand. Sucks to learn the hard way but you gotta reset the device. There may be a way if you can locate the substratum apks that are giving you issues and to uninstall them, you may want to do some research about if that is possible.
reboot to safe mode,
open settings / apps > search apk name (usually android.Subsname... or com.android.systemui.Subsname.... ) and uninstall,
reboot.

Google Widget Customisation Disappeared

Hello,
A few weeks ago I got the option to customize my Google widget but after uninstalling all updates and reinstall them the option disappeared and un/re-installing does not help at all.
How can I get the customize option back?
(Using TW Launcher (worked before uninstalling updates))
Thanks for reading/helping

Yeah I have the same problem. After unsintalling the beta and going back to system version and re installing the beta it was gone. Nothing helps to get it back .....
Reinstall 7.14.15 beta.
I had to clear my Google data one day, lost the ability to customize. Figured to revert to base version, reinstalled the beta, and quickly went into the SIDE menu to "Customize Widget".
Note I said the SIDE menu; the newest versions does not have that any more, and Google forgot to add the relevant option. Just like nicknaming your cards on Google Wallet, HINT, HINT...
Updated back to 7.22.22.21, and the customization has stuck.
DO NOT:
1. REVERT to default.
2. CLEAR app data.
