Well this one isn't so difficult but I though I'd share for those that have not worked it out yet.
The LG Device Test "HiddenMenu" is apparently on all shipping phones and it's simply disabled via removing the menu entry.
To activate you need to create a shortcut to this hidden menu. You can do this with most replacement launchers and apps like BetterCut.
Example using LauncherPro (others will use a similar method):
Long press on home screen
Select Shortcuts
Select Activities
Scroll down to and expand com.lge.hiddenmenu
Select HiddenMenu (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Also now Logcat app:
As above
Scroll down to and expand LG Debug
Select LG Debug (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Enjoy the vast amount of options and tests in there, and be careful as some are destructive.

Thx buttons pressed!!
The phone is getting better and better.
Only thing for me left to do is Root, No adds and delete couple of apps.
And try to fix the Lock screen lag when you power on screen.

What specifically is that? I use WidgetLocker and don't experience lag... does it taker a while with the stock one to become responsive? I can't recall that.

For a noob like me, which free apps can I use for launch this service?
I'm also frustrated about the lack of dim option as standard in the phone.

Sometimes it goes to homescreen and then the lockscreen, when it's been idle for some time.
It also happens with widget locker for me.

I experience the same issue, but even more annoying, it keeps displaying unread messages on the lockscreen until i reboot.
I'm using Handcent, guess the lockscreen gets the unread count from the original messaging app. If anyone know of a fix, please do share.
Hi alls. For those experiencing some nagging issues like lag or bugginess, are your phones rooted to Gingerbread or...? Thanks!
No, rooted stock froyo 2.2.2 in my case.
Gingerbread isn't out yet :-(

Gulp, I'm new at this... I wonder if after its rooted will these issues be solved? IDK, maybe it's the LG UI?

Yeah could be. Did anyone try to delete all the LG apk's and see if the stock lockscreen is the same??

Probably the free version of Launcher Pro does it I think.

I don't think I get the former, but certainly dodgy behaviour immediately after boot.
I have started getting the message count now when the stock screen flashes up. It seems to count all messages, read or otherwise.
Perhaps somebody can start a confirmed & common bugs thread in General for a good collection of them.
Some more:
I can't use a long complex password to connect to a WiFi-G AP, but a simple password works just fine.
Music controls return to notification shade sometimes after a reboot, box in Music app is still unchecked.

No problems with the above and lock screen, I'm using Launcher pro and Pattern lock.
These are bugs i'm experiencing:
[Not realy a bug but a LG feature]Multiple exchange accounts disabled in LGemail app. Resolved by using the Android mail client and freezing LGemail (thanks for that ).
Camera brightness not listening to "auto" brightness, but uses the manual settings. Maybe it`s just me, but can somebody check the brightness of the camera app after setting the brightness to minimal and then check "Auto".
Hi,
I recently rooted my LG Revolution that i got just a week or so ago....I put Gingervolt on it and it was working fine, until I went to check my phone and found that the apps button was totally gone... idk where it went any help is appreciated
Longpress your homescreen, select launcher actions, then open/close app drawer
That should do it.

Dies anyone know what the "Optimum Brightness" setting in the browser means? Go to browser press menu button, press brightness and check box that reads "Optimum brightness"

Old post, but I'd been wondering about this too.
This is the behaviour on my 4x HD with V10h firmware:
System brightness set to 40%, with auto brightness on. In the settings bar, brightness shows 'A' for 'Auto'.
Open browser. Brightness now shows '40', and can only be toggled between min, medium, max and '40' by pressing the button in the notification bar. Auto-Brightness does not work.
Go settings and brightness, and click 'Optimum'. The browser dims, but still shows '40' in the notification bar and does NOT auto-adjust.
This feature is stupid!
A few of the icons of applications I installed on my phone ( Rooted )
appear grey - on the home screen as well as on the application screen.
If I press on them a message appears on the screen -
" Application not installed on your phone "
If I try to uninstall them I get a message -
"' Selected item cannot be uninstalled "
The other thing ( which may be associated with the above bug )
is that the applications screen page does not fill up all the rows
and columns with icons - sometimes the rows and columns are
half full and new application icons appear on the next page.
Have no clue where the bug is.
Does anyone else have this problem on their phone?
Cheers.
What ROM are you using? Which launcher are you using? Did you install your apps to your external SD-card and then unmounted it?
Also, you posted in the wrong section.
Ghost icons!!?? this is a job for GhostBusters!!!!!!
Ok, now seriously, try to unmount and mount again your sdcard.
Did it work?
Try rebooting then uninstalling it again.
Post screen shot with this anomaly please.
Lol when I see all those helpers like: try rebooting, un mounting, flying i am gonna sick

remove ghost icon
I found it's the result of moving app to sd card.
Reinstall app, if necessary, and move to sd and back. Then remove!
To all of you who don't like the bright lights on hardware keys, both suggestions are for stock or stock based ROMs, search in Play Store:
LG Touch Key Lights
(don't know for stock ICS, but for for GB there was a workaround in hidden menu, but hey an app with "Set on boot" are way more comfortable) than hidden menu. Searching this might lead to some other goodies, I know many have had requests for the hardware keys for notifications like:
LG Touch Led Notification
Let's hope he'll update it or some of our devs continue it as touch led is no longer under active developed
As both apps described there's no link, the authors deserves all attentions.
While at it, I'm planning to zip all my Xperia mods like Sony Walkman, launcher, album, clock, weather and more, but it won't happen before:
1. Got the authors permission to zip them or
2. Just link to their treads
Anyway, can't promise yet, but I hope to get this done as those o2x owners who appreciate Xperia launcher and minimalism deserves even more from Xperia

I tried it with V28e, didn't work for me... Was working perfectly on GB, though.
i disable mine in v28g ICS in display settings.. i think it saves me more batery juice..
i used to have that app to turn the lights off, but it only works on GB...so i asked here and someone told me about this app called RootDim, wich works perfectly on ISC and JB
