Hi,
I recently rooted my VS980, and installed a cleaned rom (no VZW apps) of the stock VS98012BOTA update. I would really like to replace the default onscreen menu button with the standard recent apps button. I found two mods in the G2 (Verizon) thread that did exactly this, but unfortunately both of them boot-looped my phone. My guess is that it's because I'm running the most recent VS98012B version of the stock rom, which was released after both the mods I found.
Does anyone know if there is a mod that would work with this stock rom version? Thanks.
As you say, you got root! Just install xposed and there's for sure a module that can let you customize the navbar just as you wish

I just got a refurb S4 as a warranty replacement and am trying to set it up like it was before. I'm keeping it on 4.2.2 MF9 as I have no interest in 4.3. I had installed the NottachXposed mod V12 (for AT&T) on my previous phone and really liked it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285074&highlight=mf9&page=183).
Before I install it on this phone, I was wondering if there was a newer mod that had similar features? Mainly looking to disable the annoying volume warning and being able to customize the UI without installing a whole new ROM.

There's gravity box, wanam xposed, and 3minit.

I am running the stock LG Rom and i really hate the fact i need to hold down the home key to access recent apps. Is there any way to replace the menu button and get the recent task/apps button without installing any custom rom?
Root, xposed, and a module like G2.

The only thing i understood is that you asked me to root.
Please be a bit more descriptive. Or give me a link to a thread if it exists.
Thank You
You need to, of course, root your device. Then, you can install something called Xposed. You will have to search to figure the xposed installer out. Xposed has several components that can be added, one of which is the G2 module (there are lots of modules that do different things). The G2 module has options to switch your softkey layout.
Of course a complete tutorial is beyond the scope of this brief response. But it should get you started.
Good luck! (it isn't hard...)

I just came from an HTC Rezound with Tachyon mod (CM10.2) that had Privacy Guard which I loved very much.
My new Verizon LG G2 has 4.2.2. Apparently Android 4.2.2 doesn't allow the App Ops type apps or functionality. This is too bad. I think it's important that we be able to manage permissions of apps.
Is there any way around this OTHER THAN installing a custom ROM? I am rooted, but prefer not to install a custom ROM just yet.
Well I would just say to try te apps ops xposed module but app ops was implemented with android 4.3 so maybe there's an app on play store that could help

I've looked at several "permission managers" at the store, but none of them seem to have the functionality that I'm hoping for.
Oh well, thanks for the reply though.
I love my device (802) but one thing is really bugging me about it in it's present state.......I hate the fact that the navigation buttons take up a large portion of my beautiful screen in most applications
Firstly, I like to keep my phone unrooted so that I can enjoy skygo, meaning custom roms and mods which require root are out of the question for me and, secondly, I have tried the hide navbar mod which is included in the stock Korean rom and I think it is an excellent solution and one which LG has successfully developed and implemented for those lucky few.
There is an app in the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.immersivemode which attempts to achieve immersive mode across many kitkat devices enabling the user to enable immersive mode for any selected app just like the implementation on the Korean rom without the necessity for root. This app achieves what I require but, unfortunately, is very buggy.
I would like to appeal to the devs and those many others here with more nouse than me to look at the above playstore apk and also the official LG implementation and see if it may be possible to implement this efficiently on a non-rooted device.
Whilst I am rambling on, could somebody tell me what would happen if I rooted my stock rom, made a small system adjustment then unrooted my device again? Would my system mod still work and would skygo detect my device as not rooted? The reason that I ask this is I wondered if it was impossible to somehow implement the Korean 'hide nav bars' mod on a rooted stock rom, unroot the device and still have this modification working?
Any thoughts on this (and investigation perhaps ) would be very much appreciated.

Why don't you try something like this ??
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
I use it on some other apps and it works for me, and it looks like your app might be also supported. Check in the XDA thread if it is.
If it works for you, use then G2 Tweaksbox for the NavBar customization.

Thanks but skygo doesn't work with this . The checking procedure that it employs seems to be very thorough and, to my knowledge, nobody has ever cracked this properly to work on a rooted or un-supported device. The same being the case when trying to enable hdmi out with it.
I was hoping that there would be some way of implementing hiding of nav bars on a non-rooted device as the play store app that I mentioned in my previous post proves that this can be implemented to quite a large degree, so I thought, if somebody was to work on this device specifically, they may be able to make it bug free.
You could remove the navbar altogether but then you would have to rely 100% on things such as LMT.
For info, I am now very happy. I have installed Cloudystock Rom then unrooted it with superSU pro. To my great surprise, the Rom still works flawlessly and my sky apps do too.
I wasn't aware this was possible. I am now going to work on stock Rom zip with the hide navigation button feature added.

Wait wait wait...Sky Go works when you just unroot... Even on a custom ROM? I'm on cloudyflex I need to try this. ROM has a hide keys option per app anyway
Do you still have custom recovery??
OK unrooted play store says SkyGo is not compatible with my device. Got a feeling that's related to something in my build.prop can you upload yours please mate from your ROM so I can make some changes to mine to get it working? Thanks.

I've just un-rooted cloudystock with supersSU pro and kept custom recovery and everything else the same and, yes, the sky apps worked fine as did the rom . For me, this is just what I wanted and I was very surprised that it works, including hide nav keys.
Now I want to try to create a completely stock 80220d but with the navbar mod included then unroot it. I have pm'd cloudya about which files from the cloudy stock rom that I require but haven't had a reply yet.
....didn't you create a flashable 80220d zip somewhere? I can't seem to find it. I am not very experienced at this and I guess by your response that you are interested in the same thing and perhaps you will be better at this than me?
EDIT I changed ro.build.target_country from COM to EU for another reason. Perhaps this might help?
I changed fingerprint and a few other bits back to d802 in build.prop, removed root. Now running cloudyflex. Can hide keys per app in options. And can watch sky go. Perfect.

I just upgraded to 5.0.1 on my S4 i337 and have Root with Xposed framework (excellent guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/help/guide-att-samsung-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-t3383078).
When I had 4.4.4, I used Wanam Xposed to place 5 custom app icons at the bottom of the lock screen, but with 5.0.1 it appears there can only be two app icons on the new lollipop lockscreen: Camera and Phone.
I'm ok with the camera icon, but I would like the phone icon to launch a different app - I would even be ok if the icon stayed looking like a phone icon, as long as it will launch a different app.
I tried the new Wanam Xposed for lollipop, and the feature to add custom icons doesn't seem to work with the stock AT&T i337 5.0.1 ROM.
I tried the Xposed module "Custom Stock Lollipop Lockscreen" and still NG - it seems its only designed for ASOP stock roms and wont work with Samsung Touchwiz.
So, has anyone had any luck to reassign the phone or camera app to launch a different app?
Is there some file I can modify to change what app gets launched with the phone lockscreen icon?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can't, unless you want to program your own ROM. With stock, you can either have phone and camera icons or just phone or just camera or neither.

Darn, I was hoping that since the phone is rooted, I could edit a file somewhere that would allow me to chance what app is launched when the phone icon is swiped on.
You probably could if you knew Android programming language. What you would need to edit is probably part of the ROM.
