Hey guys.
For who already updated to v20a,
Have you guys found that the famous new ambient display is missing from our LG ROM.
and the lockscreen that lg made out of 5.0 is too busy to be used.
the unlock area takes almost half of the screen, and can not be hidden, all my notification has been squeezed to the upper half which makes my lock screen very messy. and the lock screen can not simply just using the same live wall paper as my home screen is using.
So my solution for now is still using my ACdisplay as my lockscreen to get all my app notification, but this app hasnt been optimize for 5.0 and it became the most battery consuming app, it takes almost 25% of the battery which is so annoying.
and i dont get heads-up notification for most of my apps, is this just me or you all dont have this?....................
any suggestion? or better alternatives to be using?

Heads up works fine for apps that actually use this feature - most apps have not been updated to work with heads up yet, its not something that every app automatically does.
Your comments on the lock screen are correct, but sadly this was always going to be the case, we had the same problem when jellybean first introduced lock screen widgets, it took a very long time for everyone to change their own UI's to properly accommodate that feature.
I am not sure I know what you mean by ambient display feature?
Edit: Ah the wake up feature - yeah, that is kernel dependant so it is something we could probably put back in with mods etc but it might impact battery life if not done properly - this might be why LG decided to not include it (that and it might be seen to be copying a Samsung feature).

hey man thanks a lot for all the answers,
and your patient to read my crappy English haha
umm i guess i will go back to acdisplay for now, hopefully they will optimize the app for 5.0 soon.
now my battery usage seems weird.
Acdisplay 32%
hangout 22%
google services 13%
others
and now screen only takes 3%.........
guess this is all due to optimization of the apps?
Remember that percentage is a zero sum game. As other things use less power, other things will use a greater percentage of the total, even if not more actual power.
Hey guys new problem.
My g watch is not showing any notification card. All apps
Any suggestions?
Ambient Display, like on the Moto X?
It's not very smart on the G3, as it uses a IPS display. Moto X uses AMOLED, which only lights up non-black pixels, so the Active Display consumes very little battery, while ours consumes almost the same whether it's full black or bright white.
Yeah, why does LG choose to remove features that we could use in their Android L editions? Also the features like L's new battery saving seems to be missing. Idk why they don't just leave all the features in there.
I totally miss having exposed framework.
I have the DS Bat saver, greenify, boot manager and toast notification.
Coming from a Droid Turbo, Moto's AOD was awesome. Always showed me the time and icons for any notifications - if I wanted more info, I tapthe notification and get a peek (still on AOD) at the info, then could open my phone directly to that app by dragging up.
In contrast, I find Samsung's AOD fairly useless - even the time is often NOT on or bright enough when I really need it. And if you choose the AOD with notifications, they only work for a couple of stock Samsung apps if you happen to use those apps.
Has Samsung opened up the AOD API to third parties to create their own AOD apps? If so, anybody know of any good ones? Or perhaps turn Samsung AOD off and a third party Android app can emulate it? Right now, as is, the Samsung one seems pretty useless to me. And the 3rd party themes they offer for AOD don't change or add to the functionality - just allow optional looks of the same basic function.
Check out these:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anandbibek.notifyfree&hl=en
The last one seems to me to be the most effective.
Edit: You'll want to turn AOD off to use these.
The stock Samsung AOD enables some more optimizations for the display controller, including reducing the number of colours and the refresh rate.
How do I know whether those apps do the same? Is it known how to access the display controller this way, is there an API for that? How could I write an app that uses this?

My previous device was a Moto X and like you I miss some Moto AOD features too.
Anyway, there are ways to tweak a bit Samsung AOD , check this thread: Mod for Always ON Display to Double tap to Unlock possible?? (Nougat)
Have: Nexus 6P stock 6.0.1. Need: some customization. Items in green have a solution.
I've enabled Developer Mode and System UI Tweaker. I'd like to do this without root, or anything that would affect individual Google Play-installable apps. (The reason is, I need this device for final user release testing, so it should be what users have just from factory reset + install apps and normal OS upgrades):
Different wallpaper on Lock Screen than behind icons and widgets. (Tried: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-screen-wallpaper-help-how-can-i-do.html - No triple dot menu visible in Wallpaper)
Full brightness on Lock screen instead of 90%, independent of brightness settings. ("OK" option: same brightness as manual brightness in Settings) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/home-lockscreen-brightness-t1704705 - no Lock Screen Options in Settings)
Disable peeking globally. ("OK" option: put them in the statusbar like 4.4.4) (I don't want to disable peeking for every new app I install: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...ifications-in-Android-6.0-Marshmallow_id75408) Temporary solution: I will manually disable peeking for every new app that shows them.
Global saturation setting for icons. (They're all saying "click ME!", that's an icon designer's job. With an excellent high-contrast screen like this, it's a crowd shouting.) ("OK" option: some other way of getting icons to look more Zen.) Icon packs for launchers are that "OK option", browsing tons on Google Play left Hexacon and Dual Shadow. So Hexacon.
Remove the Google Now bar from my Home Screen (without disabling any services). (As in, I taught the device my voice, so I don't need it there for me to tap. Tried: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-remove-the-google-search-bar-from-your-android-homescreen - it's not long-tappable nor draggable, nor does it appear under Google Apps in Widgets.) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
I'd like to be able to do this:
Some quick way (preferably swipe) to access a more compact Quick Settings widget, like on my Xperia Z. I've reduced it to 9, can't remove "Invert Colors" and Location toggles.
Global Night Mode for everything in the System UI - to make it look similar to the Quick Settings. (This is a "like to" only because it's been promised in N. I really need it like, now. ) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
Basically I have the greatest phone, so I want it to look good at all times, and with the aim Clean, Fresh, Zen.
I posted here bc the forum was most specific. Feel free to refer or advise me how to best get answers as I joined tonight.
Any & all advice on single questions is appreciated Not possible is a valid answer, and I'm also prepared to wait for N if that's the answer.
I used to think of "ok google" as a novelty but its become more polished and if it remains reliable Ill continue to use it more& more. As it applies to keeping things clean it sort of does eliminate need for extra widgets.
If you have ok google everywhere u can just say " ok google...launch settings". Same goes for music apps, podcasts, youtube videos etc.
Started using a new app other day you might like called sesame edge. I set it on the right edge, virtually invisible and it brings up quick access to apps.

Thanks, trying it out. Also tried Sesame in the hope that it would let me set a different lock screen wallpaper, but it only had "their automatic lock screen wallpaper or off" as setting. I sent feedback to them, so let's see.

I dont use a lockscreen but on Pure Nexus which Im using now there is an option to set lockscreen wallpaper.
I use action launcher 3 which doesnt allow me to remove google bar (i dont think) but nova will let u do that. I like the bar cuz on action launcher i can put several shortcuts for whatever i want.
ASAP launcher is very minimal. Again you cant REMOVE the bar but swipe down and it turns into a simple clock widget.

Thx, tried Nova and it gives me Night Mode. Thanks for that Still, no way to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen than on the home screen, and I can find no Prime option for it either. Pure Nexus requires CM.
Can I mix and match this type of apps? Will they interfere with each other? Sesame seems to work with Nova at least.
What about Hi Locker? http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-lock-screen-customization-android-lollipop-0160204/
Can custom lock screens lock me out of my phone, make me butt dial, hog battery? I just want to change the gdmn background!
As I wrote, if some feature comes in N I'd rather wait than mess up my new phone.

Seems Im constantly tweaking things and having problems recalling exactly what I used. I know making lockscreen different from desktop is something Ive done many times. Do u have xposed? Pretty sure gravitybox has that option.
As far as butt dials, I use sweep to wake & it was a problem. Always remember to put it in your pocket screen facing out. I also need to do that when using bt headphones or else i get distortion. Anyways if i find something relevant Ill let u know.
Thx for suggestions!
I want weather, clock, and a background that matches my high-end case on the lock screen AND NOTHING ELSE, and then wherever there are icons I want a neutral background or just a color so I can see them properly. I think that's being a normal user with sensible demands.
Right now a huge dark gray or white slate COVERS the background anyway. I don't mind it, it lets me see the icons of all manner of variety and quality against something neutral, still... just allowing a background to set behind your icons seems to be an easy addition... since Froyo... Anyway, end rant about Simple Things. Android at least lets you customize them.
I'm battling notifications now. Light Manager is recommended for the 6P - testing it out now for notifications that are actually important, will report.

Yes.
1. I don't like anything about mifavor so I use nova.
2. Over aggressive app killing and anything changed from aosp.
3. Anything currently disabled or gimped by mifavor. This is discussed in great detail already @ ZTE forum.
4. No. Lipstick does not make the pig attractive.
5. I don't mind the apps, except that ad ridden keyboard. I use gboard or aosp.
Pros:
- None actually. It's laggy, I don't like the design, and the new settings app sucks.
Cons:
- 'Power manager' is too aggressive and doesn't wake apps when waking the screen most of the time.
- RAM management is horrible, phone is lagging after 1 or 2 days. A reboot fixes this (but this is not right)
- The camera has no raw support, which makes photographing meh.
- All the bloatware apps, I disabled all as far as I can.
Features I like to have:
- Ambient display. Please add this, we have a beautiful amoled screen, but don't make good use of it.
- Stock Android like theme.
- Less bloat (video player app, WeShare, Clock app (please implement cLock from Google), Accuweather)
I use QuickPic, Solid Explorer etc for my documents/photo's.
I don't like the MIFavor Theme engine because I think the design is ugly.

1.)
a) The ability to hide navbar on will and customise it.
b) The themes support (although we can't download new themes like with the Chinese A7)
c) The lightness of the MiFavor compared to other OEM software.
2)
a) The stock camera app is mediocre at best. Misses exposure many times and recording videos in low light is a joke.
b) There is no switch to completely disable power manager in settings.
c) The dialer could use a tune up, it's just not on par with the stock android one.
3)
I don't think any important feature is left out in my opinion. Good job.
4) Yes, I like it and yes I would definitely like to see more themes.
Most of all a completely black theme would be the best for power savings on the amoled screen of the A7, it's nonsense having white themed android paired with an amoled panel.
5) The music app for equalization reasons, I use JetAudio. And the camera app of course, I use OpenCamera. For Gallery I never used stock, I use Quickpic. And for launcher, I use Nova because I like to customise my device
Hope I helped you.
1. Pros: Audio is good. I would have Raw photos if I was american. I would have Daydream if I was american (so not really pros for Europeans)
2. Cons: Power management. Features that have been removed from stock Android. Lack Daydream and Raw on European version.
3. Compared to stock: Why in the hell did you REMOVE features? Why?
4. Themes: No, I don't care about themes
5. Third party apps: I don't care. I can install them, except for the caller, the google one is much better
LineageOS is a better firmware overall, but it lacks Daydream and good speaker audio, which are 2 of the main selling points of this phone. I would rather have ZTE help fix those 2 things on Daydream than improve dozens of little things that are bad in MiFavor.
The top 3 con's are it's MyFavour.
The top 3 improvements are Stock Android please.
Mike
I use Nova Launcher (on all my devices so that I have a consistent look/feel across all of them) - so I avoid the worse excesses of the MiFavour.
Settings are fine - I don't use it enough to have to worry about differences between manufacturers versions. The power management could potentially be useful - but the default all on is to aggressive out of the box.
I quite like the changing images on the Lockscreen
I tend to find Stock apps where they exist - but use Swiftkey keyboard.
Alongside the ZTE Camera app I also have Camera ZOOM FX - which no longer seems to work (on Nougat).
I use Simple Image Wallpaper as it allows different images depending on the rotation of the device
ES File Explorer

1 - No bloatware at all in A2017G at least
Even task killer its too agresive, using it, and disabling it for some apps, its very useful
Gestures, it could be coustom ones, but what have, works almost well.
2 - No app box, camon men, at least a setting to add it.... I use nova.
No double tap to power off screen.... that is a really bad thing
Proximity sensor is useles when a phone call is in progress, the screen turns on and off... and when screen is off, can turn on the screen covering proximity... thats a really bad bug.
No raw in camera, and camera app dont rotate settings.
3 - nothing, its good for me, I dont use more things that mifavor have
4 - I dont like themes at all, for me is useless, I want to custom my theme as I wish, I want an app box, my background and my lockscreen background, my widgets...
5 - launcher, web browser and clock widget at least (it must have weather....) pdf viewer I use my own.
My general opinion is that miflavour will be ios miui or emui, and thats very chinese... icon dont need to have a backgroud, and app box gives you order in your screen, I like to have an almost clean screen, a few icons, forecast and time, the rest is to go to menu, no slide everywere to find a stupid app...
OP, what is your relationship to ZTE?
Ability to disable stock calendar, video, music and messaging. No bloat ware like drop box (AKA 7.1.1 release)
A good music player ?
Just give us Nexus-like rom, with completely stock UI. No MiFavor plz.
I've tried to like it several times, but it really has no pros. The latest I have tried is MiFavor UI 4.2 on a A2017U.
I really find myself in conflict with some of the system apps and having to jump through hoops as root to remove them.
The lack of flexibility is a killer in my book both in apps and GUI.
Seriously I can understand a company and ZTE is not alone in this, wishing to set themselves apart from Google's offerings but really I think it is better to make it basic Google Android with ZTE branding on the boot screen etc. and then allow the user to pick the ZTE apps that they want or not.
It is a great piece of hardware, I only wish it have the software/firmware flexibility of my Nexus phone it replaced in my pocket.
That all said I think ZTE should be commended for reaching out to both users and developers with this phone, it is definitely a step in the right direction.
1) Nothing
2) Everything
3) Just get rid of MiFavor, it is a disgrace to the Axon 7's hardware
4) Same as 3
5) Same as 3
I'm using the latest launcher on beta and it's much better than the old marshmallow one but after beta i will revert back to the Google Now Launcher due to:
- no Google Now integration
- no long-press menus
No need for halfhearted apps when stock ones suffice. Would prefer to see ZTE spend their time making great apps to sit on a stock ROM. Much easier to roll out updates too.

1) I like the lockscreen, but do not like being forced to use one. I like the double tap to wake and the various gestures but would like to see even more gesture support on screen or fingerprint scanner.
2) Failure to incorporate Nougat features (quick tiles, notification priority, Android Easter egg, etc); power manager is too aggressive and does not have an off switch; LED notifications time out too quickly
3) See above for Nougat features missing
4) I do not use themes. A simple live wallpaper is what I use.
5) I dislike the messaging app and use Textra, I dislike the email app and use Blue Mail, I dislike the toolkit and prefer to have the apps launchable separately, I dislike the phone/dialer app and caller ID feature and use the one that came included with Drupe and Drupe Dialer (app).

1) I like the fast updates (7.1.1). I REALLY like Dolby because it works. The camera is okay.
2) I dislike any UI changes that were made from AOSP (especially the lockscreen and Quick Settings). I dislike changes made to power management. I can't stand that my phone came with bloatware, especially the damn keyboard.
3) Not really.
4) I think if ZTE wanted to stand out, they should ship the phone with stock AOSP theme but with OMS support instead of their own crappy theme system.
6) Keyboard gets replaced. Launcher gets replaced (Google or Nova). Music app gets replaced (SoundCloud, Google Play Music). Calendar gets replaced by Google calendar. Dropbox and weshare bloatware get uninstalled.

Hello,
these are my little improvement calls:
.) Biggest disadvantage: No Multiuser! e.g. Whatsapp and some other Apps - No i do not want to root my device for that!
.) Improvement: If i was called on Sim1 and i missed the call then i would like to call back with Sim1 without long press the missed call - and of course the same with Sim2 without thinking which is my primary Sim setting.
.) Set the outgoing Sim per Contact
.) The built in Email App is more or less useless if you are plan to use more then one email accounts (no possibility to choose from which you want to send)
.) In the Email App there are still some missing translations (chinese letters) to german in the account settings.

Hi all,
In the past a few mods have caught my eye, over time they've slowed stopped being available on all devices, mostly because of changes made to android.
Here's a list of the ones I liked most.
1. Screen off animation, the CRT on /off it just looked amazing.
2. List view animations, not completely gone but not exactly something you can just flash.
3. Halo, I know this was paranoid androids, but it never got ported over quite as much as I thought it would..
My question is are these available anywhere ? Any idea how to flash them ? Or even if anyone misses them like I do?
I know that CRT and list view can be obtained by flashing two Xposed modules called
Screen off animation and xui mod.
Halo I've never seen outside of PA.
But these mods used to be flash able as standalone without Xposed.
Personally I'd like to avoid Xposed as it breaks so much and I don't like it to be honest, although its a great bit of software.
Any ideas ?

You can use Screen Off and Lock ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en ) to achieve your desired screen lock effect. I too LOVE the CRT T.V. off look that Moto put on their phones some time ago. I use this app all the time in conjunction with Nova Launcher's ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en ) double tap action just to make everything super fluid. As for the list animations, I am not too sure what you mean but they may be found in Nova settings too. I know it has an option for something like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As far as the Halo type things you may want there is an app called Unique Controls and does not require root. Hope this helps!

I know it has an option for something like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As far as the Halo type things you may want there is an app called Unique Controls and does not require root. Hope this helps!

This is one of my old HTC devices the list view animations can be seen here as can the screen off animation,. The CRT animation was changed from not existing to CRT to fade which it is now, the Nexus devices had it originally then vanilla type phones like Moto followed suit.
I've seen the application and it's not quite the same, although it wasn't last I tried it, I'll give it a whirl and see how it is.
Same with unique contrails, sorry I probably should have mentioned this too, they aren't quite the same as the originals.
Appreciate you taking the time to answer though, thanks.
From what i remember it was something to do with surface flinger but I remember that that has now changed although could be wrong (screen off animation that is)
Any other ideas?
Ok so that app has come a long way, by all accounts it doesn't allow for the actual power button to show the screen animation and fingerprint didn't work, probably a way to map a key to it.
Will check it out tomorrow
Cheers
Ok so tried a few of them apps and none of them allow you to use fingerprint thereafter

Yep there was, however back in the day it wasn't required.
