I'd like to have both TouchWiz and Google Edition ROMs on my phone and to be able to switch between them when desired. At the moment I'm unsure which one I really prefer, but having to reflash and restore all my apps each time is kind of unrealistic. I'm wondering if there's a way to do this.
Thanks!
Set up each ROM then make nan droid backups of each in trwp and restore when you want to switch.
You could see if Boot Manager (play store) works with your device.
That app looks kick ass. No support for us. I looks like the newest samsung it supports is galaxy nexus. It looks like the wifes phone just became my guinea pig
U can ues up to many roms as u like. As as long u have alot of space in your memory chip. And by uesin any rom. Just restore rom to rom. That u wanna uesss

Does anyone know if it is possible to install the stock LG Keyboard from the G2 on a Nexus 4? I would think so since they are both LG devices. I've backed up the app with TiBU, but that gives me .vs files. I'm not sure how to install those. My wife really wants the icons that cine with the stock keyboard. Thanks.

Have you tried going into the root of your phone and pulling a copy of the APK out of system/app. I don't know if it will work for sure, but you would need to add it into the system/app directory on your wife's phone and give the proper rights.

nope, likely won't work at least not without a ton of work. That being said implying that it's because they are both LG phones means they will work is like implying that a AA battery could be used in place of a Car Battery, i mean they are both batteries after all
I run tsf shell and next launcher and adw ex 99 percent of the time though so far I've only run tsf and next on my g2. I have experienced the exact same issue while running both launchers. I'm rooted and have over 30 apps frozen including the stock launcher.
I'm having an issue where after running my phone for awhile my launcher will lock up and refuse to do anything, or it will run so slow that it's impossible to use. The strange thing is I can still drag the notification window down and go into settings and do whatever in there and everything functions fine and is smooth, so I know there's some issue with the launcher. A reboot fixes it for awhile but it has come back several times. Another weird thing to note is the launcher isn't force closing. It will continue to run and never force close.
This thread isn't about me having a buggy phone and need to return it (though anything is possible) but it's about me thinking I have caused this issue myself by freezing something I shouldn't and now I'm getting this. At first I thought it was tsf shell so I downloaded next and froze tsf and it happened on next so I know it's not the launcher itself. Based on my thinking that it's something I froze I have since defrosted the LG home app and after a couple hours have yet to have the issue. But I'll keep this thread posted on what happens.
If someone else has had this and fixed it please post...if you are having it and didn't know what to do and you froze LG home try defrosting it and post your results. I know from experience that sometimes these phones on the stock roms can bug out when you freeze certain stock apps so I'm trying to troubleshoot. Thanks.

You obviously missed the point of my thread but thanks for the feedback.

Sounds like you froze the stock launcher and the phone bugged out. Just leave the stock launcher unfroze.. No telling how many lg system enhancements depend on it.
As for me, I never freeze apps. I just remove them using root explorer. Usually isn't hard to find out what apps are safe or unsafe to remove.

I also think it's a UI function that uses the launcher. I have not used a shell and a launcher together before but I'll try it later w/out freezing. The LG launcher.

I also find using the stock home switcher causes less problems.
Hi I'm going to buy the g2 but i really don't like these nav buttons/on screen buttons. Is there a way to hide them while in apps for example they will still be there but i would be able to see trough them, fully invisible or something like swipe up. Thank you and sorry for my bad english
I'm on LG G2 D802 and as far as I know there is no possible way doing this unless rooting your device of course. Then you probobly could use the app "GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys".
How do you hide it with a rooted device?

Get the gmd auto hide app from the play store and install. It's a little wonky for me though. Sometimes it just stops working and I have to relaunch the program. Not a big deal, just a little annoying.
There's a mod/ROM you can flash with the smaller navbar, I haven't tried it yet.

Or...
after you successfully rooted your G2 and want to remove it entirely, you may try this:

I a bit disappoint with the lag when unlocking from active notificaction.
following this forum https://forums.motorola.com/posts/d5a9438952?page=5 I have found a trick that may fix the lag or at least be less periodicall.
You need to uninstall all the updates for hangout and dont use it as your sms app. At least for me lag occurs to me less often as before. Then set your unlock securty to none, wake your phone from Active Notificacions, and finally restore your security.
I just notice that before getting into home, sometimes it goes to the normal unlock screen.
EDIT: you need to do a full wipe instalation using RSD lite and then when prompt for to restore from your google account DO NOT restore. doing that way I did not have any more lag even using GEL.

Tha's another way to bypass. So you are using active notification with none lock security?
Sad to report that after doing that still got some lag

Don't know if this is related, but I uninstalled the nexus 5 gel launcher that I had been using. And I have not had lock screen lag since. I will see how long it lasts
Edit: never mind, it happened again

Guys I think there is an issue when installed from OTA or installed the full package. You need to perform a full factory reset, I did installed with RSD lite, then do not restore from your google account. Then the lag is not there, I had been testing during a full day.

I agree. A fresh install seems to have helped me.

ALPT: if you want the best experience with any given software upgrade, back up your stuff and do a wipe.
For those who are too lazy or don't think you need to do that, then stop complaining, you chose not to use the tools at your disposal.

You are right but there is a consideration, yo need to do not restore anything from your account, just log in. if you restore configs the problem persists.
Non root I use helium back up, with root I use titanium.
I have wiped and restored my phones probably in excess of a thousand times in the last few years. System data I never restored, only restored app data from apps that don't already sync and are sensitive/business orientated apps... So basically, of the 150-200 apps I have at any given time, I probably only restore data for 1-2 dozen. This method has never failed me.
I never use the Google account back up... It's garbage... In fact, it's the first thing I disable on setup and the first thing I freeze when I obtain root

OK I had done a reset before, still the lock screen lag. This time, used rsd lite. Complete fresh install of 4.4 no backup of anything. Now this morning the lag is back sometimes. So this did not solve it for me. I am using art, and gel launcher.

What happens if you dont use ART and GEL? is still the lag?, I think that the lag using GEL is because he nneds to ypdate feeds on google now.

Looks like it may have been the gel launcher. Using Vire launcher, and no lag yet.
