Softkeys mods and custimizations - LG G Flex

I'm not responsible for any of this. This someone else thread and development.
I'm simply posting a link for those who would like to play around with this.
Most of these are apks that will show up in under settings/display/front touch buttons/color. For your choosing.
I have tried pretty much all the softkeysin this thread (that are not girly) and have had no issues what so ever. Proceed on your own. I'm not responsible.
All credit goes to those that made these apps and mods in the thread I'm linking you to.

I would love to do this, but not having a custom recovery makes me leary.

all these are just apk's that you download and use what ever file manager you prefer and click and install. you dont have to replace any apks or modify anything. so due to that its pretty safe if softkeys apk doesnt work then in settings select another softkey theme and use your file manager to delete the one that doesnt work

You can download and install them. Tried it by myself and i'm stock, not rooted and no custom recovery installed!
All you have to do, is download what you want, install as normal apk (don't forget in settings-security to active 'unknown sources').
After you installed them, in the settings-display-front touch buttons-color you find them.
If the 'original' appear on homescreen, just deactivate 'transparent background'.
Sorry about my English.

Thanks for that. Yeah I've been trying to explain this is safe. Not a mod just normal apk's. I probably should have mentioned in the OP that you don't need root. And hey I learn something new everyday I.e. disable transparent to get them to show the new soft keys on home screen. I didn't know that. Thanks.

No doubt, I had been trying to get them to stay using the g2 tweak box, and I couldn't do it. That is a simple solution.

if you need any help with future verzions of this rom, i can help you if you want.
i also do light theming too, so if you want a themed status bar, lockscreen icons, etc in your rom, i could cook it in .
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
downloaded, did the wipe and tried to install. said it wasn't verified. so i turned off verification and am installing it this way, ill let you know how it goes.
installation was successful. everything seems to be working.
one question to the forums, and i hope i dont offend the OP, but if the ROM is not signed, and since i had to install it without verification, does this mean it is more likely that the creator has added something "bad" to the ROM? Again, im not trying to offend you OP, just gotta make sure you know.

You know what would be cool. If someone made a lockscreen using the stargate. And you had to dial a stargate address to unlock the screen. That would be awsome.

Even if its signed there is a possibility of something bad, as you put it. Anyone could create a key and sign it. I don't believe there have been any malicious roms but that is what the community is here for. I'm sure ppl smarter then myself disect everything in a Rom to make sure nothing is malicious. Props to OP will be testing tonight.

In the end, theres really not too much one could do to watch for "bad stuff." I don't even know what bad stuff you'd be looking for though, keyloggers? If theres one of those, all you'd have to do is double check the input section to make sure it's a legit IME. Other than that, ATK would help you look for anything else.
The fact of the matter is most of these roms just aren't signed, unless you're building from aosp, or you take the keys out of the rom that you're modifying.

Anyone considering developing Custom ROM's?

Just out of interest are any of the active members of this forum considering creating a custom rom for the 2X?
Hopefully, because this is a crappy system you get out of the box. To many running apps that takes to much ram and slows down the system. To many pre-installed apps. So i'm really looking forward to a custom ROM. Does any one know how custom ROMS are made?
Well i hope lots of Devs get this phone as it is quite the powerhouse! Man i wish i knew how to make custom ROMs! there should be a dummys guide!! haha but yeah ive heard Paul O'Brien at Modoco is thinking of getting one.... now thats what you call support

SuperOneClick v1.7 worked fine, so my phone is now rooted
U can delete the apps. (Backups)
Or just rename them change ****.apk to ****.bak for example. Dont know if this will restore on reboot.
Maybe someone else can answer to this. Perm or temproot?

You can use rootexplorer to remove or move apk from /system/app. Preloaded fsecure is slowing down the phone, just delete it.
To make custom rom we need clockwork mod recovery on 2X
I have used z4root, and installed Titanium Backup. Is there any danger to uninstalling apps that are pre-installed?

No, you can disable lg home launcher from “home selector“ in the main menu. i have ADWlauncher instead of lg launcher and i don't see lg launcher anymore in system processes

What do you mean by "home selector" in the main menu? I don't have my x2 yet, so I suppose it's something special by LG? I don't know this setting from my HTC.

[Q] Notification toggles, 1% Battery, etc?

Hello, I am in the process of editing the stock ROM but I have been unable to find a few things I would like to add. I have searched and browsed the forums with no luck so I hope I'm not just overlooking these things. Anyway, I want to add power toggles to the notification slider, add a reboot and screenshot option to the power menu, and lastly change the boot image, and a 1% battery mod.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction or perhaps guide me on how to do these things. I believe changing the boot image would be pretty simple but I haven't seen anything regarding custom boot images. Once I figure out Photoshop I'll most likely just create my own so I really just need to know where to put it, what type of file it is, and what size.
In the FAQ thread in the general section it says something about a 1% battery mod but not much detail is given. I'm not sure if it's the Team Blackhat app that does it or what.
As far as the other two things, I don't really know where to start. I'll continue to look and if I find out anything I'll post back to let you know but like I said I haven't found anything so far. Thanks in advance for any help and thanks will be given!

Well when I say stock ROM I mean I did the R3L3AS3DRoot tool plus 43V3R root, then flashed the 5.7.893 update to get the updated radio, then I flashed a stock deodexed ROM (This one) My system now reads 5.5.886. Will these mods work with that version?
Nevermind, should have clicked the link first ^_^ thanks again!
I would be interested in finding this stuff as well. I'm talking to a themer about making something and adding toggles for 5.7.893. I'll let you know what happens. Stock odexed here, rooted of course.

[REQUEST][MOD]Search key to ICS recent apps

i saw this over the Nexus S thread, and thought it would be awesome if we had the Recent Apps on a click of a button, but not by holding the Home button..and since we don't use the Search button (at least i don't) , we could remap it so it could show the Recent Apps..
so.. here is the MOD : [MOD][19 JAN] Search key to ICS recent apps [add CM9, AOKP and Peter Alfonso version]
and the HOW-TO : [HOWTO] Remap hardware button to ICS recent apps
i tried to make it myself, but i couldn't, so i would like to make a request, or a little help for this MOD

The first link is a flashable .zip, did you try it yourself? I feel tempted to... It's for IML74K so it should work I guess.
The second one is just the instructions on how to do it ourselves, I might try this tomorrow, right now I need some sleep.
So is the flashable zip usable with the teamhacksung ics version?

Or you can just remove the assertions from the update scripts. It seems to work, but it messes up some framework assets, as I was expecting, see the screenshots.
I'll see if I can the file from our build, decompile, make the changes and then recompile but I'm pretty new at this stuff. For instance.... do I have to sign the file to be able to use it, and how do I do that?
and yes, it works beautifully. having the app switcher just one tap away makes this a true multi tasking device to me. You will lose this button functionality though, so if you depend on it this won't work for you.

if you make sure your findings work, i am sure users can benefit from it. BUT! if you do not test properly or make changes during your test and do not report this with your link and people's mobile is semi-bricked and need to spend 30-60minutes or even more to fix, it is no good.
so do not stop, but make sure you really know it is good before you post.
its not only the kernel and custom bootloader making it impossible , its also what LG previously shown users, so they care less about new LG mobiles now, so you probably will not see many modders or devs in this section, and personally i am also 99% going for an alternate model, primarily because my issues seems unsolved by another custom system as oneX, as the lag seems to be in the kernel alone
