Alright, I know that the camera for the s4 is really nice, BUT, there are some features that really dont work the way that they should and the number of times that they can be used in real life situations are very limited. The eraser option has to be activated to be able to use it. it's not really practical because you would not really expect anyone to just jump in to your pictures all the time, and most of us just use the auto mode.
Anyways, to get to the point, one of the features that I liked from the s3 camera features was the color filter options which i did not find in the s4's large array of camera features.
I was wondering if I am just missing on something or it really isn't there. I love this feature because it adds a level of creativity to some of my shots.

i know that, The one im looking for is the red-yellow, blue, green filter that is present in the s3. It is the option where everything is b&w and the only colors you see are the ones you chose, namely, red-yellow, blue or green colors only. I ll post a screenshot of my s3 when its charged up.
Yeah I'm not familiar with that one, sorry. Never had an S3.

here it is.
Okay, maybe not as dramatic as the thread title suggests, but this is regarding the possibility of transforming the menu screens of our G2s to black.
I'm sure I'm not the only one out there, but I'm a big fan of black menus on my gadgets and computer systems. Howevevr, we have no such luck with the default LG UI on our G2s. As we all know, the default LG UI is predominantly white. Things like the settings menu, gallery, pop up notification windows, etc are all in white.
We have a bunch of talented modders here who have done some amazing work on navbars and status bars and icons, so I'd just like to know the possibilities of including a feature to turn all the system UI menus to black instead of white. I know that AOSP ROMs like CM already have that feature, but I'm not quite ready to switch over yet, without sacrificing some of the LG-exclusive features.
Just throwing out a request on behalf of the black menu lovers out there, and have an awesome weekend everyone!

C'mon dudes, Breaking Bad and musical tastes aside, it would be nice if we can have dark menus. I'm sure they would fit in nicely in a lot of custom themes we have going in our phones, more so than the boring white ones.

And on topic: coming from the asylum I too want everything in black. Hadn't I lost the remote by doing so I had flashed cm with the black betterbean theme.
I'll dig in to the settings, contacts and phones apks and see how hard it'll be, and either put out a mod (for VZW deodexed users), or strictly for malladus.

Sweet. Malladus is pretty awesome so far, Blacked out would be even better, if for nothing else than the Settings and Phone/Contacts apps. I started digging around, it'll take me a bit. changed a bunch of styles in phone and contacts and all it got me was some nice looking black tabs. I didn't dig much further than that though tonight.

I'm sure it's going to be a pain in the a$$ just like it was for stock Droid X (GingerBlur). Even though in the end I did end up getting it all blacked out, I hated working on that thing for that exact reason. There's so many things to change, and in so many different places. Plus, back then I had a lot more motivation, and it helped that I had some collaboration with travp624, unkleduke, and kirbnite, but that was almost 3 years ago...lol
I hope you guys get it figured out; I wouldn't mind trying it out. I'd most likely just end up going back to CM10.2 since I like stock-like Android better than I do skinned Android, but that's just me. Once I got the Gnex, I just couldn't go back to skinned android

Please tell me you have something other than a toggle in the quick settings for "screen off/lock". i like not having to look at the screen, and just knowing where the status bar is to double tap. Although, i could survive with a long press option for the Recents button though.

It's not a toggle, I would be annoyed by that too...lol
It requires running a third party launcher though. I myself run Nova launcher. You can create a task with Tasker, or if you don't want to pay for Tasker, or don't already own it, you can use "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
Once you set either Tasker or Screen Off and Lock, you can set the action as a gesture in the Launcher. I have mine setup with a double tap anywhere on the screen to "knock off"; It works really well.

Bad part is, that only works when you are on the launcher. I own Nova prime (or whatever the premium version is), and Tasker as well, but right now I'm completely hooked on Aviate. Eventually CM will port/create "double tap statusbar to turn screen off/lock". They already have knock on, which you would think would be the hardest one, ensuring that there is a listener when the screen is off and such.
One of the software features that isn't getting much press but one that I'm hugely looking forward to is the ability to hide the On Screen Nav Buttons on an app by app basis.
I've never been 100% behind Google's decision to advocate the On Screen Nav Buttons. A huge waste of screen real estate sitting there doing nothing while you read/play etc. The expectation was that developers would choose to hide them when they weren't needed but that never really happened. Some developers got behind the idea (thanks!) but even Google has inconsistent behavior when dealing with them.
Now we can choose to display them or not on an app by app basis. A swipe up from the bottom of the screen displays them again.
There are a number of delightful touches like this one on the G3.
Great work LG.

I agree. Even though it's easy enough to root the phone and force immersive mode, I applaud LG for implementing something that should be on every applicable Android phone, yet isn't. I'm very much looking forward to the phone becoming available, whenever that may be.
Though a nice effort by LG, there are a lot of games that use up motions for movement. Anyone into game emulators will especially have issues. Not to mention not all apps work with it, including web browsers.
I prefer my S4 having buttons at the bottom. The irony is the G3 5.5" display is the same size as the 5" display S4 for some apps and navigation.
Still, LGs effort is MUCH better than nothing.

Browsers do work with it. I say 'browsers' but I can only confirm Chrome and the stock browser.
In the instances that it might cause a problem for things like emulators then just don't include them in the list. It's an opt-in feature on an app per app basis. Best of both worlds really.

seems to work perfectly with chrome and stock browser and pretty much any app that i select on my phone. I have to say LG really listens to people and implement their suggestions on their devices. I hate wasting screen real estate especially when i'm playing games or watching a video in an app that can't force the nav bar to minimize. LG solved this problem.
not all apps, I guess

I do not think this cool feature will work on all apps.
This sounds a very good feature and something that everyone should be doing, the thing is though I haven't seen this mentioned in any reviews I've seen or read and that's quite alot! As mentioned I'd prefer hard buttons ala Samsung phones but because they've dropped FM Radio I wont be buying one of those any time soon.
Does anyone know if there's the one handed mode from the G Pro 2 that shrinks the whole screen down to a size of your choice? Again was featured and mentioned in G Pro 2 reviews but is not something I've heard about on the G3

It's a nice feature for sure, but gets old after awhile. I hate constantly having to swipe up to bring them up to hit the back button. It's cool on some apps, then others it's not. For whatever reason I can't get it to go away in YouTube. This is on 4.4.2 on a g flex though.

It's a shame there is no pie like control system in the stock rom but it's a lot better than other stock roms where you can do absolutely nothing with the on screen buttons.
It's nice to use for certain apps such as a news app or game where you don't need buttons. Other then that out doors get annoying to swipe up, but I'm glad LG included it.

Hi All,
I have asked this question multiple times earlier too.
Is it possible to have Knight Rider style Led Sweep effect in SP.
if yes,can anyone suggest or make one coz i think it looks cool on standby mode if the sweep effect can be made possible.
Devs...Please make one and im sure you will get a lot of repo.
If you use the app called U disco, that has the effect your looking for. There is running light and bouncing light and you can select the color to use

I had been using these on my s9+ but it started to get real wonky in the last few months, to the point where it wasn't worth it and I removed it completely.
Do you guys just turn off auto updates on those apps and then deal with the annoyance of having to confirm that those aren't auto updates every time your other apps update? It seemed like a lot of times, my "don't auto update" apps would somehow end up auto updating again at some point, and it would frequently break the main google app, google search bar, youtube, etc.
Still a lot better than the days you'd have to hook it back up to a PC to run andromeda, but a hassle none the less and having the main google app constantly break on me was a bad enough experience that I just went back to a dark samsung theme. Curious to see others' experience with it

I turned off auto updates in google play settings and will update apps together with "Swift for Samsung" theme so that the apps won't crash. The update cycle of the theme is frequent enough (atleast once a week). My expereince with the swift themes is really good as it themes many 3rd party apps unlike a samsung theme.
