"It won't install"?
You have to push the SecLauncher3.apk to /system/priv-app, e.g.with root explorer.
People that don't know what they are doing should not mess with there's phones, then open countless threads on here asking for others to put right their mistakes.

If you install S5 launcher by apk you can uninstall simply by settings.If you replace file in System folder put the original touchwiz in it.

[HELP THREAD] EasySetting CloudyFlex 2.3

Hello guys, im using CloudyFlex 2.3.
Yesterday i downloaded LgEasySettings from here: lgviet.com/forum/threads/chia-se-ung-dung-lg-g3-download-g3-apps.19818
And now I cant oppen settings. What i need to do? Someone could backup your system apk?
Thanks and sorry for my horrible english.
Just reinstall CloudyFlex and it will be fine.
Have the same problem for some reason. Is it possible to just instal stock lgeasysettings.apk? I cant find it.
It's not a problem. It's a LG G3 app.. ...
You need to ask someone to port it over. Why do you make problems where there are no problems ?
It wont work on any g2 rom. Not yet.
@matheusvp0 - delete LgEasySettings first from either /system/priv-app or wherever you find it. Then reinstall the CF.
I know it's not LG G2 problem I just called it that.
Can someone post Lgeasysettings.apk from the original lg g2, please?

It doesn't go that way.
You need to put it manually to /system/app and chmod properly
or first remove the one in /system/app then try installing

you have to be rooted.
I see people are fixing the issue by going to settings, apps, then all apps, find the "updated" app and select uninstall updates.

I saw that but there's no option for that for Settings app. Would factory reset help?
Since you're not rooted and you don't have custom recovery, it should help, yes. Backup needed files first

It's kinda strange cause I can't access to 4 tabs settings menu by pressing the settings icon in notification screen, but when I go to voice mate and say open apps and then settings it's opening settings but with list view.

You need to try it man, make a backup first of your keyboard before doing this. It works on touchwiz on s4,s5 but no idea on s3 cm based roms.
I just tried installing your apk but it disn't work for me. It said "app not installed". Do you know how I could fix this? (I assume I don't need root)

It needs root... you can't just click and install the apk. You need to copy the apk to system > priv-app and set permissions to both folder and apk and then reboot

Remember it works only on touchwiz roms.. and for other phones it's 50-50 chance to succeed. Good luck. You should had quoted me in your reply may be you wouldn't had to wait for it this long

Use root explorer. Permission is RW R R
Or simply see a youtube video that shows settings permission using root explorer... Best of luck..
