Is any one else missing apps that used to be in the Apps drawer. These are apps that are still installed and I can access through app manager or widgets. The apps I am all of a sudden missing are Lattitude, Places, calendar (the blue original one), Faves, and probably others. I am wondering if anyone has these all of a sudden missing and if there is any way to get the icons back? Thanks for any help!
I've noticed apps disappearing in the Sense/Espresso app drawer, but can't recall if they were stock apps or not.
I'm damn sure that some apps I install from the Market do not show up in the Sense/Espresso app drawer if I install them while in LauncherPro. I can see them in app manager, etc., but they're absent from the app drawer. I have to be in LauncherPro's app drawer in order to see everything I have installed.
Very weird, but this is my 1st HTC device, and I'm running LP as my default. Would still like to know why this is, and if there's anything that can be done to make all apps visible.
All g3 owners would like a page just for tweaks, can be kernl,apps,etc.Post here so we can share
Install Nova launcher or similar. Never use the LG launcher again. 90% of lag issues solved. I had to do a factory reset yesterday and the few minutes I spent on the stock launcher while preparing to restore apps with Titanium made me feel murderous.
Ya always use nova its golden,I also use android tweaker,g3 tweakbox, set CPU which seem to help..Any personal tweaks you found that work well

Tweakbox is a must, I prefer action launcher as I'm not a fan of the iPhone style app draw. Also makes the phone easy to use one handed. Last but not least I reduce the DPI to 560 so I get more content per screen
Yes I have DPI at 570 love it
1. Nova launcher with fast animations and fast scroll speed.
2. You need this in order for step 3 to work. Install SElinuxmodechanger from the play store and set it to permissive.
3. In system tuner go to system mgr/one-click and turn on boot for app optimizations and reduce device lags.
4. When you boot up your phone the first time my phone got locked on the home screen and I couldn't launch any of the apps so I rebooted again and now I am using it for awhile and it is very smooth and responsive.

Nice I have all those but but system tuner will give it a go thank u
My At&t G3 setup
short version of my setup below
Nova Launcher
A customized Zooper Widget (both on my home & lock screen)
A mod/hack I found on youtube to have HotSpot enabled
Towelroot used to enable root
Xposed with G3 TweakBox
G3 TweakBox I enable:
Bigger Caller Picture,
Hide Battery Full Notification
Disable Safety Headset Volume
Skip Tracks With Volume Keys
Carrier Text Visibilty (Hidden)
Other then that I just disabled a few apps (bloatware)
Upate new xposed module installed
This weekend I wanted to test the NFC paypass option but since my phone is rooted softcard app says wont work with root and did not open at all. I searched the web and found RootCloak an Xposed Module. Once I installed that and followed the directions by adding it to the list within the RootCloak app it opened up just fine. So the SoftCard app works just fine on a rooted phone with the RootCloak module installed. Also I opened Google wallet which opened and worked just fine no problem at all. ALSO forgot to mention I installed the Swype keyboard been using it since my old S2

Good stuff guys, I know this will help new users too
out of all the tweaks i've read in lg g3 forum - intl,at&t,tmo,verizon that have the most noticeable effect in removing lag and giving longer battery life are:
1. uninstall mc afee
2. freeze google play services and google services framework.
3. if anyone can give their experience regarding nlpunbounce? tia.

It can be safely disabled, but doing so will mean that you can't use the play store and any other gapps that depends on play services.

I think greenify would be a better idea,don't you.I use gapps way to much.
Here is my setup at the moment:
Google Now Launcher + Xposed GEL Settings module - I've grown to love the Google Now Launcher with the Google Now integration so much that I'm just not happy with any other launcher. This Xposed module is a must have for those who wish to have most of the customizability of other launchers while using this launcher.
Greenify + Greeniy Xposed module enabled - Needless to say, possibly the best auto-hibernate-app utility out there. Helps with battery performance a lot.
SDMaid Pro (ROOT app) - Has a bunch of really useful utilities for cleaning duplicate files and maintaining the SD card in a clean state.
ROM Toolbox Pro - Used to be really useful in my old days of HTC Desire HD, customization features work well with CM ROMs. For now I use it occasionally for the many built-in apps including a terminal emulator, root browser, startup manager, build.prop editor among some others. Useful apps to have in one place.
Tasker - Needs no description. The most powerful automation tool ever! I use it to automatically change my wifi, data, sound & brightness settings based on whether I'm at work, home, sleeping or reading something on my phone.
G3 Tweaksbox - Thank god for Tweaksbox & root. With the unlocked bootloader I would've grown pretty frustrated if not for this. Currently using the Tweaksbox for UI Themes, Nav Bar color, Bigger caller picture, battery notification tweaks (especially that annoying wireless charging notification), etc. One of the most useful features I find is the Misc. Tweaks > "Enable Knock Off on Nav Bar" - This allows to knock off the phone by just tapping on the nav bar instead of all the way up at the status bar when using a non-stock launcher like I do. Also helpful is the feature to change the default messaging app color(hate the yellow!) found under "Message Tweaks > Theme color".
Network Speed Indicator (Xposed Module) - I like to monitor the network speeds when using the phone and for the time being when there is no support for this feature in Tweaksbox, this little Xposed module comes handy. Offers some customization as well!
Unicon (App/Xposed Mopdule) - Another must-have on any rooted phone that I have. Allows the use of icon packs on any launcher including the Google Now Launcher that I use. Changes the icon system wide. Great app!
You-tube AdAway (Xposed Module) - Gets rid of the annoying ads that popup now and again while playing vids on YouTube.
AppSettings (Xposed Module) - Allows changing per-app DPI for when you change you phone DPI and some apps get messed up.
I guess the above classify as tweaks, but while we're here, here are some apps that make my life a bit easier:
Talon for Twitter - UI customization, In-app browser + video. Used to use Falcon Pro but this one is equally good if not better with multitude of theme options
Unclouded - Keep tabs on your cloud storage accounts in one place. Useful.
Zooper Widget - Must have for theme & UI customization fanatics.
Sidebar / Switchr - Both from the same dev, both offer options to switch between apps from any screen. I used Sidebar before, Switchr offers much more now. Both are worth a try.
LinkBubble - Really really useful for surfing various links from say, your twitter feed. Loads links is a small bubble while you continue to do whatever you're doing. It's one of those you-don't-know-what-you're-missing-till-you've used-it features.
VSCO Cam - Really great alternative to the stock camera app. Offers much more editing features.
HeadsUp - If you've been missing heads-up notifications from CM/PA ROMs(like me) this is a nifty little app that brings over the functionality.
There. Most of them are probably well-known & that was a long post, but I hope it helps someone to find something new and/or useful

Which is almost every Google app these days. Only disable Play Services if you don't want to use any Google apps.

App optimizations: boost app loading, optimize databases, clear caches, clear clipboard.
Reduce device lags: increased responsiveness, eliminate some lags.
I don't know what each one does exactly what but I know that by switching both on I have entropy on and fs trimmer on.

With Android Tuner, desactivate only some questionable services in Google Play Services :
- location reporting
- ads
- analytics

Thanks. I'll have to look at these more closely.
Since i use play store and so only once a week, I just freeze it with titanium backup an d defrost it when I need it. Indeed improves battery life.
Not to forget to change and delete the default lg keyboard.

Recently installed OmniROM 4.4.4 which works great on Motorola Xoom however there is no REMOVE option for icons on the homescreen or UNINSTALL option for completing removing apps that I've downloaded. Whenever you longpress on an app to uninstall it, it makes a shortcut to the homescreen I've checked all the settings and cant find a solution, has anyone else experienced this issue?

I haven't... Remove should be at the top of the screen.
Xoom is not an officially supported device though.
Any way to control apps at startup without root?
package disabler pro from the play store is your best bet.
I have it but this disable the whole app
I want to keep the app and stop it from running at startup
As far as I understood what you want to accomplish, your best bet is greenify. You will keep your apps, but you may choose the ones taht will get stopped. You won´t avoid them of starting with your phone, but you will be able to stop them with a swipe.
In my case, I had nova launcher configured so the swipe up is the shortcut to greenify sleep the apps and lock the screen.
Hi,
i installed Exvolution X rom since last week. And it's a beautiful work.
I've two questions :
- it's possible to blur an app in recent view app ? (like MIUI) I like this feature
- my screen when is sleep (i think) so the lockscreen is black with time, weather, battery but not display google ambient mode while it is actived
- and auto kill after some delay apps in recent view app (but not the app that's lock)
Thanks in advance
For the third question:
You can't "kill" an app from recents. It's basically just a shortcut to the recently used apps. The system will manage the apps getting killed or not. Make sure that the battery optimizations are active(or inactive if you want to keep it) for the particular app.
