[Q] Volume Rocker Shortcuts - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if it's possible to change the volume rocker shortcuts on the LG G2 to open a different app instead of the stock note/camera apps?

Yes but you need rooted phone, Xposed framework and $0.99 LG G2 Xposed app. I believe that specific feature is still in beta testing but many people reported that it's working for them.

Have you tried xposed installer? I think you have to be rooted though, I dont remember since first thing I do to my devices is root it anyways.

Once you get that going you can download / install modules like xblast or gravity box which will add a recents button.

It works. Thanks. But it can not change the brightness of the navigation bar, do you know any apps can do this?

What works? xposed?
If so, I use xblast to change size, number of buttons, and color of nav buttons. I have my nav bar background color as completely transparent and my button colors are a bright blue. Thats bright enough for me, but try changing colors?

[Q][KK-Stock] Disable Navigation and enable Pie Control [SOLVED]

Does anybody know how to get rid of this "Slide Up Menu" (Navigation Bar Ring)?
I want to use my LMT pie control, but this thing mapped bottom area for self. I cannot find any settings for it and I have no idea from which app it comes from yet.
(Please ignore that black rectangle at then bottom of screenshot, it is not related to it)
Edit: I solved it by creating own Xposed mod.
I have another question regarding this. Sorry for hijacking.
Is it possible to add your own shortcuts to this Slide up? And remove Google?
Thank you!

It's probably possible, it would just take some work. Check out Slide Launcher, it does what you want.

Well, looks like there is no setting for it. At least nobody replied.
I begin to look into source code and I will do Xposed mod for it. Begin with disable it. Manage shortcuts should be possible too.
Have you guys tried this out?

Don't think that would work, because it doesn't disable ring but just replaces it with app that does nothing. This annoying ring is only reason why I don't move to stock kitkat roms.. Can't use pie.

Word.
We really need a fix for this.
Progress Update
I made Xposed mod and get rid of this navigation ring (search ring) now.
However LMT still not works, at least not everytime. I got few times luck, but mostly no reaction.
What do you guys using for Pie control? LMT as well?

Well I managed to disable ring with g2 tweakbox xposed. But it was same as you describe, pie works rarely from bottom screen border. Tried Lmt and pie in gravity box.

Success !!!!
Finally I made it work! :victory:
Now I have:
- hidden navigation bar
- disabled navigation ring
- LMT works perfect from the bottom on 100%
I made own Xposed mod to fix that.
I guess I don't need to ask if you guys want it as well, right?
Please wait one more day. I will clean it up and release new mod for you.
LG Pie Support
Xposed mod released to Xposed Repository. I created new thread in development section as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2689890

I'm using Pardus V5 on my LG G2-D802. I installed the G2 TweaksBox from Google Play (see the xda links from there).
This requires the Xposed framework.
Once installed, go to Theme Tweaks, then Navigation Bar.
Turn on Enable NavigationBar and reboot.
Go back to the same window, move the sliders for NavigationBar Height down and reboot again.
I've set mine to 24dp, which looks pretty good. The smallest setting is maybe too far unless you have small fingers.

damnn i have already paid for the g2xposed and there i couldnt find anything yesterday, so the only solution is to pay again but this time for g2 tweakbox which has that option ..
is there not another way
what most of those programs do is modify the build.prop file. if that is how g2tweaksbox does it, then u could do it manually. I use tweaksbox to shrink my navbars and it works very well.

I have g2xposed and unfortunately it does not have that option to resize

How about the GravityBox kk module?
I haven't tried it on a stock kk rom but it should have the option.
The free version of G2 TweaksBox will resize the bars. The paid version enables lots of other features (and it's good to help the author), but you don't need it for this feature.
I tried the g2 tweakebox and finaly found out how to unlock the option to resize the nav bar, but after each reboot nothing changes -_-
and with the gravitybox i dont know where to go to resize the nav bar
I feel realy screwed for purchasing the g2xposed version withouth the option to resize the nav bar
what should i do now
someone any solution for me

How to hide navbar buttons for fullscreen/landscape?

It's annoying that lots of times the navbar buttons come up when using fullscreen/landscape apps.
I know that CloudyG3 had an option to hide the softkeys for individual apps, but I want to stay on rooted stock, because CloudyG3 is way to slow.
I also tried the app GMD auto hide and it was very annoying.
Any solution?

I installed Xposed G2, after someone recommended it to me to hide the navbar in apps. I had already the G2 Tweaksbox installed, anyway I tried to make sure there are no conflicts.
The result was that the LED keeps blinking constantly from green to blue and when vibration comes, the phone gets stuck for 5 seconds and then vibrates a little.
I tried already wiping cache, dalvik,uninstalling and deactivating the xposed modules. Didn't help.
Any solutions?
I have used xposed gravitybox fullscreen mode sucefully on stock d805, ot has a convenient power menu option to turn on and off.
Abou.t CloudyG3 2.2 maybe you should give it a go, I just flashed yesterday and can assure you its faster and more battery friendly. I wasnt sure about it before, but I am glad now. My benchmarks went up as did battery life.
Just Autorec, backup everything with usb otg and go for it!

Disable ability to uninstall app from home screen?

I don't want the ability to uninstall any app from the home screen. Can I disable this feature and even perhaps lock all the apps' placement (like as in a profile)?
Is it possible?
Running VS995 LG V20
Thanks.
Mine has been this way since the 10r update. You can probably find a different home launcher that doesnt have that option
