[GUIDE] LG Stock App permission Manager

Hello mates.
Yesterday I read somewhere that LG has a built-in permission manager and how to set it... unfortunately that guide was incorrect (wrong activity to discover)
so I started to looking for this activity and finally I've found it...
everything it's easy to do and with no risk.
BTW everything you do it's on you
NO ROOT NEEDED
Let's start:
1- Download from the playstore QuickShortcutMaker and open it
2- Look for setting and tap on it
3- Look for the activity call "com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryActivity" and tap on it
4- Tap on TRY and you will see if it works
5- If you could open this HideSetting just go back and tap on "CREATE"
6- On your home you are able to find this shortcut and set your permission without using 3rd parts app
(you can also unistall QuickShortcutMaker )
Here some screenshots
Can't find "com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryAct ivity"

write "Access Lock" in the search bar after set "normal search" instead of incremental search

			
				
Download from the playstore " App Ops " and open it, it's simpler !
It's not stock app I think... Personally I avoid to install another app if I have one already installed, second I think that the activity is already on so if you use it or not it will continue to drain battery (also 0,0002%) so why double my drain? Anyway it's true... There are apps that do it better, I chosen this one that also work with no root
Unfortunately I am unable to find this in shortcut creator. Could you please advise? I was looking for com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryActivity and for Access Lock both brings nothing
Edit: the only solution I found out is installing app ops and install required pack because LG somewhere messed with Access Lock or deleted it from firmware.

[Tutorial] How to install Google Play on H2OS 2.5 using OpenGapps

I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!​
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.​
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os

based on https://github.com/rainman74/FireTV-Settings/releases
install as normal APK.
Root is needed.
NewSettingsGerRoot.apk = German
NewSettingsEngRoot.apk = English
FireTV-SettingsGer.zip = Android Studio Zip German
FireTV-SettingsEng.zip = Android Studio Zip English
Feel free to customize it for whatever works best for you! ...

Ok so the apk file is unnecessary with root since the zip is in charge of that correct? This is actually interesting considering that the Amazon Launcher being disabled with root therefore losing functionality to accessing settings unless you were to use adb commands.
Edit: the apk was supposed to be installed, works 100%

Questions...
So does the Zip need to be flashed?
Then install the APK?
Is the Amazon launcher disable by doing this, or do I have to disable that myself?
Can you easily remove it?
The Zip file is for customize.
SourceCode for Android Studio.
You must disable it .
OK so disable
com.amazon.tv.launcher
?
1. install APK
2. Flash zip ( for customize if you want)
3. disable launcher
The zip, what does it modify and how do you go back?
Sorry for the questions, just want to know what to expect if i have an issue...
Install other Launcher.
For mantis maybe you need FTVLaunchX to start the alternate Launcher.
#adb shell pm disable com.amazon.tv.launcher
Install apk to access the settings without amazon Launcher.
The Zip the SourceCode to build apk.
I hope it is understandable now
Thanks bro, this works perfect with ATV Launcher 0.1.2 now i can access amazon built-in apps on 4k stick.
Thanks for this.
Couple of queries:
Lots of icons on my custom launcher. But all start off at sleep. Is this normal? If so why so many icons?
The command to disable the amazon launcher is not working and I do have root. Any ideas?
Edit: Not to worry about the above. I found a new version that gives me just the one icon
Also found the instructions to delete the amazon launcher so that is good.
Only problem that some might have is installing new apps from the amazon marketplace (or whatever they call it).
Any ideas about how to do this?
Use this Version.

Amazon Market is not working.
You must sideload the apps.
Also you can push the apps over the Amazon Website to your Stick.
App Updates should be installed automatic.

Thanks for that.
I manage a lot of these sticks. Most I know the Amazon accounts for so will use the web site to push to them if they request new apps.
I will ask for the other account details but if they wont provide them I will send them to the website to install themselves if they want new apps.
It seems Amazon pushed out a new prime Video app today (or I was told about it today) that asks it you want to install it.
Was told it no longer works with this setup if it is installed. Was fine yesterday and no prompt to update then.
Might be a problem with the Prime Video app in general and not this setup, but all my sticks are running these fixes now.
Just tested on one and it is true. Trying to open Prime Video does nothing. Tried both the icons for it (one never worked but now both do not).
Will see if I can roll it back (once I find the original apk).
Thanks for this. So nice not to see the Amazon Launcher at all now.

Is there a way to install Xiaomi Apps in a Custom ROM?

Hi. I recently change my phone ROM to a custom one, after one year using the phone just as it came.
I installed Pixel Experience+, which its great, but there's two stock apps that I miss: Mi Screen Recorder and Mi security app.
Stock screen record was awesome: Just one touch on status bar to start recording, a floating button to start/stop and it let you record system audio and mic audio, choose 1080/720, 30/60 fps, etc. The Pixel experience+ one its just start/stop and nothing else, I don't even know if it's HD.
Security app was great too: Good trash cleaner, and a App Lock option by pin/fingerprint that it works great.
Is there a way to install those apps in Pixel Experience rom ? I tried to install apkmirror apks but it didn't work. Maybe it's something that it needs to be flashed. Or something that it just can't be done, that's why im asking.
Thanks!
ps: I just intalled the ROM, I didn't root the phone.
Some of them.
Short answer is NO at the moment there isnt any zip file that you flash it and boom Mi apps installed. (like the gapps) What you can do is to track & find which Mi-apps you want to install (manually).
What i had done in the past was to find the Mi Home launcher apk and the gallery i thing if you search you may find more apks but keep in mind that you can replace every single one app, just search for an alternative.

Thanks for the answer. That's bad new, I really liked those apps.
Yeah, I tried to download Screen Recorder and Mi Security apks from akpmirror and install it, but I couldn't.
I guess I'll have to try a third part app lock and screen recorder. Any suggestion?
uum... try to avoid 3rd party app lock (your custom rom may include that option already) as for screen recorder nop i dont have any suggestion. :|
**UPDATE 02/10/2020**
