The features you are about to see are bugged, or not even working, or hangs. These stuff are purely experimental for your own attempt and curiousity. I have reverted to stock myself
Hi guys, with thanks to @non4 for this discovery in his thread Changes brought along by changing device ID!, i went on to find out what happens if spoofing our device as Optimus G? First i tried Korean Optimus G E973 and i got Wise Screen, DioDict, QuickTranslator, Video Editor (crashes on opening). Nothing about the battery screen as in @non4's thread.
Then I downloaded CM10.1 for E975 and extracted the build.prop, and indeed after changing the device product codes and ID, Magic happened
Here are the new features that comes along it, but first things first, no Qslide, no Eco Mode, no USB OTG:
- Optimus G's Video Player (swipe up/down to change brightness, left/right to reverse/forward) - Update via LG Application Manager, and this could be the one working with our Qslide developments? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231472
- DioDict, QuickTranslator
Partially re-mapped Settings (mostly networking related options)
- Airplane mode, WiFi hotspot, VPN, Mobile Networks formed new subsection 'Tethering & Networks'
- NFC, Android Beam formed new Settings subsection 'Share & Connect'
Bluetooth
- Additional 'Device search option'
Can select All devices, Headset, Mobile Phone, PC, Input device (keyboard, mouse, etc.)Call
- Connection vibration
Vibrate phone when other party answers the call- Privacy Keeper
Hide caller information during incoming call. Option: Hide all information, Show number only, Disable (default)Sound
- Quiet Mode
- Vibration controls
- Gentle Vibration
- Vibrate strength
- Incoming call vibration
Long lasting, Rapid, Short repeated, Standard, TicktockBattery
- Battery Information, Expected Time to use/charged
Camera App
- Shoot in 13MP
Show-off only
How to apply? Backup your current O4X build.prop, do a CWM backup, then
change to these parameters in build.prop
ro.product.model=LG-E975
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.name=geehrc_open_eu
ro.product.device=e975

of course you can't you can't take 13MP pics with 8MP hardware
it's just like you can't get 24V out of a 12V battery
Can you really change vibration strength?

doesn't seems like there's any change.
i think these changes are utterly bugged on our 4x, but then, they are still 'discoveries' i suppose LOL
I read that some peoples have issues with the touchscreen sensitivity. I've thinked i've got the same problem until i activate some developers options Options: "Show touches" and "Pointer location". Thereafter i realized that the touchscreen is perfectly responsive, the only issue is that when i click somewhere, my finger sometimes slip a bit and the touchscreen take it as a Swipe, then i have to click another time. The TF701 have a high density PPI (300) and it seem the touchscreen is not calibrated in accordance to that density.
By example (I don't know the real values!)
on my Motorola XOOM (150 PPI), the device need at least 30 pixels movement to detect a swipe = about 2/10 inches
on my TF701 (300 PPI), the device need at least 30 pixels movement to detect a swipe. = about 1/10 inches
What do you think about it?
Is it tunable by an application?
I found TouchScreenTune on the PlayStore but have never tested it since it's not marked as TF701 compatible, and i'm not root.
I found editing the following options makes a huge difference.
In the build.prop add the following lines:
Code:
# Improve Touch Pressure
touch.pressure.scale=0.001
ro.min.fling_velocity=90000
ro.max.fling_velocity=200000
Obviously the first line is just a comment
Also you can speed up browsing by enabling debugging mode in the browser by typing the following in the address bar
Code:
about:debug
Then go to the settings and the new debug menu and enable:
enable hardware accel
enable cpu upload path
enable light touch
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or just unlock and flash CROMi-X for all these and loads of other tweaks built in
Is there a way to change these settings without flashing a new ROM?

Well you need to be rooted but yes just follow the instructions above. The browser set won't stick on a reboot though so you'll have to keep doing it.
Update 30.11.2022
End of life and open source.
Due to lots of changes both in Android and in my life, I do not have the possibility to maintain / update the code any further, therefore I've decided to open source.
Code is accessible: https://github.com/borconi/obd2aa
I will like to thank all of those who supported this project.
App Requirement
Torque Pro
OBD2 Reader
Android Auto compatible headunit or at least a copy of the Headunit Reloaded App (see signature).
This app will have limited functionality if you are using Android Auto on a your phone, the only functions you will be able to use is to see are notification about the speed cameras and street card!
Gauges and torque data will NOT work!
Previous XDA purchases can be reclaimed here: https://www.b3itlabs.com/download.php
How to purchase:
Visit: https://www.b3itlabs.com/prod.php?id=2
Instructions on how to get it running:
Option 1 - Will work on any phone & car/headunit combination, however the following features won't: - AutoPlay Music, 6 Tap limit remover, DPI change
After installing the app from XDA Labs, sign up for beta testing here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/uk.co.boconi.emil.obd2aa and update the app
Once app is updated, make sure you disable auto-update in PlayStore then please uninstall it and reinstall it from XDA Labs.
With your screen unlocked, plug in the phone to the car, when prompted which app to use make sure you select "Android Auto"
Option 2 - Might NOT work on some device combination (for sure it won't work on Xiaomi phones), but if this method works all functions of the app are available
Install
Make sure you do not have any other 3rd party app Android Auto app installed.
Open the app and hopefully it will be quite self explanatory on how to set it up (choose colours, set gauge number, etc)
Open Android Auto (on the phone), go to About, tap the "About Android Auto" header 10 times, once you are a developer from the 3 dotted right corner menu select "Start Headunit Server" (ROOT users can skip this step!)
Close Android Auto
MAKE SURE YOUR SCREEN IS UNLOCKED and connect to the car, when prompted which app to use select "OBD2AA" and always (this needs to be done one time only) - If you are a HUR user select Android Auto and always! (If you do not see the prompt to chose, please go to settings -> apps -> all apps -> Google Play Services -> Clear Defaults and then try again)
Select the last tab on the right, by pressing it again you should see an app selector and choose OBD2AA
Give it a bit of time to start pulling the data from Torque.
Change log
Version 3.2 and 3.3 released 04/11/2018
Fix "drunk" map effect on Sync 3 units
Fixed rooted devices not being able to start headunit server.
Added option to change DPI for your screen!
Added option to auto play music on start
Added option to select default start screen.
Version 3.1 releases 26/08/2018
Compatibility fix for Pie devices.
Tap limit remover now working on all device
Tap limit remover allows Maps to be searchable even when driving.
Can be used for those who have problem with the parking brake wire.
Freeze issues fixes.
Important notes
Version 3.0 releases 05/07/2018
Compatibility fix for AA 3.0 and above.
Added option for overriding 6 tap limits
Added option for Bluetooth Audio output.
Important notes
Thanks to @slash_m_a_x for the support offered on this.
- Some users have reported choppy audio when using the app, this will mainly be due to the speed of the phone, the buffer on the car/headunit and other factors which are out of my control, if that is the case and you cannot use the app please feel free to contact me for a refund.
- Bluetooth Audio output might not work on all devices, it does depend how the car/headunit handles the Bluetooth. There will be devices which completely disable A2DP/Bluetooth capabilities of the car when Android Auto is running. In this case all the sound will be heard from the phone speaker rather then the car speakers.
- Tap limit will be disabled only for cars/headunits which are equipped with a GPS.
- In rare cases it can happen that after unplugging the phone from the headunit you will see a message which says that you are still connected to Android Auto, simply Force Stop the Google Play Services.
- You always need to make sure that Headunit Server is running on the phone (unless you have root), if the icon bothers you simply hide it.

How to use it?
Open app and select each PID you want to display on your screen, adjust the number or gauges you want to see adjust the preference for each PID. If you want to use custom background/needle and interested on how to, please read HERE
Locking Pid values
On some PID's Torque reports wrong min/max values, by default if while using the application a reported value is higher/lower than the initially reported range, the app will adjust the range to the new values. However in some cases this is not desired and you will like to specify manually what is the min and max value for the give PID. In this case, simple edit the minimum/maximum for the pid and they will become locked, meaning the app won't make any adjustments.
By editing, it means you have to change the min or max value, the lock is triggered by the first keypress on this input fields.
The lock will be automatically removed when you select a different PID for the same gauge.
Preferences menu
Alternative pulling - Only enable this option if you have difficulties getting gauges updated, it uses an old deprecated method of obtaining data so should not really be used.
Enable debugging - Only enable it if you have problems with the app and I requested you to collect a bug report, otherwise it will spam the logs for no reason.
Automatically start Torque on Android Auto - Nothing to explain here
Launch FartKontrol on start - launches a Danish Speed Camera app (useless outside Denmark)
Custom Background (any background you will like to use instead of the black color)
Demo - When enabled random data is generated for the PID's just to see how things will look (in case you do not have an OBD2 adapter), so don't enable it.
Pid Alarms section. You can set up a low level fuel warning (displayed as a heads up notification) and a notification when the engine is warmed up. There a several PID options for both of this, pretty self explanatory.
TPMS Settings
- You set up the 4 PID's for TPMS, this will be used to display the tyre pressure values on the TPMS screen inside Android Auto
Speed Camera
Show current street card - Displays information about current street (name and speed limit if know). This information is updated once in 5 seconds and at a minimum distance of 200 meters so it's not 100% accurate it's more for general information.
Enable speed camera warnings - This will enable the app to display speed camera warning when driving, like any app which does this it relies on a database, which means it does NOT guarantee that it will warn you of all the cameras, and it might also produce false warnings. All options are pretty self explanatory.
Export & Import
- Allows you to export your current app configuration file which can later be imported (grate way of saving time of re-doing everything) after a clean install or so. The format use for Export & Import is JSON so if you want you can manually edit/adjust the values. Please see following post for more details about the sturcture/value/meanings
Permissions
Read notification permission - Only required so the app can read the notifications from CamSam and display them on AA scren
Locations - Only required if you want the app to overwrite the day/night theme based on sunset/sunrise
Storage - Only needed if you want to use your personal image as a background and/or planning to import/export settings
Can I create my own layout for the gauges?
- Yes, see instructions below:
Here is an example of the XML structure required, once you created the XML please send it over by email to [email protected] and I will include it in the next build.
Code:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:tag="wrapper_layout">
<!-- Left column -->
<View
android:layout_width="226dp"
android:layout_height="226dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|start"
android:tag="gauge_2"
/>
<!-- Middle column -->
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:tag="gauge_1" />
<!-- right column -->
<View
android:layout_width="226dp"
android:layout_height="226dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|end"
android:tag="gauge_3" />
</FrameLayout>
Important
Each view must contain a tag, which is formated like in the example, where the number corresponds to the Gauge number from the setting screen.
The layout which wraps everything together must have a tag called: wrapper_layout
You are free to use any Layout you want, except ScrollView.
How to produce bug report?
Step 1 you need to enabled debugging in OBD2AA app, then follow this instruction set:
2. Enabling Developer Mode
Open Settings > About phone.
Scroll down to the Build number.
Tap the Build number 7 times in quick succession until "You're now a developer" appears.
Return to the Settings menu and select Developer options.
At the top of the screen, make sure 'Developer options' is set to On (green).
Scroll down to Debugging and enable both USB debugging and Bug Report Shortcut on (green).
Tab on Logger buffer sizes: Default setting is 256K. Select 16M to help capture more information for debugging. Of note, it can affect the apps performance especially with lower spec phone, so change it back after you have finished submitting bug reports.
3. Capturing a Bug Report
It's very important to do this right after you experience the issue again, so your device can log at least one occurrence of the issue.
Hold the Power button down until the menu appears.
Select Take bug report. and wait for the device to capture the bug report.
Tap the 'Bug report captured' notification when it appears.
Share the bug report. (I recommend to email it to yourself.)
Download the bug report to your computer.
Send the bug report by email to [email protected]
I have decided to open up my software, meaning I have made the source code available on GitHub, but it's only available for personal use, and you are not allowed (under any form) to redistribute your own version of the app. You can download and compile it yourself if you wish to do so, and you can implement your own changes for your own personal use, but you cannot create clones of the software which you redistribute under your own name. Source can be found here: https://github.com/borconi/obd2aa.
Due to the fact that there are some irresponsible developers out there, who created video apps for moving cars, which was one of the main reasons Google blocked 3rd party apps, I won't be updating the code on github any more, to try to prevent those developers to use my technique to overcome the limits. If you are developing a 3rd party app and you will like to know more about how I have done this, you are always welcome to contact me. If your project is something useful, I will be more then happy to share things with you.
This does not mean it is now a free app and apk can be freely shared!
Amazing work Emil, this along with your (and ofcourse @mikereidis) Headunit Reloaded app is perfect for Android Auto on the cheap ,
Gotta subscribe to this thread! The possibility of custom PIDs would be of huge interest to me.
Seems like its stuck without any option to change on Kmph rather than mph for speed etc, its set to mph in torque

No. I have to try with a USB soundcard (which I use with my Odroid) but haven't got the chance yet, or I might just hook my himbox to the AUX in and use it that way. The built in mic is almost unusable especially over 30 MPH.
And first version of the app is live!
Bought, installed and looking good.
I've got the Prius PIDs plugin installed in Torque so I can see the data on my Prius C.
Only about half those PIDs are available to be selected, it looks like it's hitting the maximum number of allowed items in the "Select PID" list.
Great, could you please tell me, where I can find it?

The XDALabs app was a pain, I had to:
Install the XDA app from the Play Store
Log in
Install the XDALabs app it prompted me to install
Log in again
Then open Emil's link from the first post in the XDALabs app.
Ok, thank you. Any chance to have this in play store?
Hi.
Sorry for the pain caused by XDA labs, unfortunately Google play rejected the app submission so I cannot make it available trough that channel.
As for custom PIDs yes intending to support them in the future. Currently torque doesn't provide a method to expose them to 3rd parties so I need to speak with Torque developer if that is possible, alternatively I will need to fallback to manual PID configuration.
I will see if I can build a quick webpage to host/sell the app could potentially make it easier to get the app, but it will make it more difficult to keep it updated.

Understood, I had a feeling Google wasn't going to allow it.
One of the issues with XDA is that you can get there via the web but it's not obvious at all how to buy it from there.
Then you have to jump through hoops to get the right app.

It's already showing around half of the Prius custom PIDs, it's like the list just runs out of space for more items.

I'll send you a logging version at some point this weekend just to see if how much data Torque actually send over. For example it doesn't show any of my custom PIDs for KIA.
Thanks for this, it is awesome..
A magnificent add to the current great app.
Here is photo of my test
too low ISO 320.
My Observation:
1: I added in Gauge 2 : Volts(CM), then put "13.5" in W.Level 1, and 12 in W.Level 2, when I switch to ODB2AA it wont open and switch back to the current tab.
then I changed W.Level 1 to "13" and it works, so looks like it wont accept a decimal value!, don't know if its a bug or error from my side.
2: Each time I switch to the OBD2AA tab it takes 13s for the data to be pulled.
3: Just once "no data pulling", I had to unplug/plug usb to work.
suggestion:
* It would be good if there is a timeout option for the data pulling to stop, so no 13s delay when switch back and forth in that time, I don't know if it is applicable in AA.
Great job Emil.

Sorry I'm moving too fast
I made a post after getting pie update and now, here is an in-depth list of features of android Q in ZMP M1
all phones are not getting the same features
removing screen lock /fingerprint doesn't save you from password after update (at least it didn't work for me ) make a backup of everything in case you need to reset
list of things I'll suggest making a backup
WhatsApp chat
google photos
apps with es file explorer or any such file manager
settings + contacts+ call log+ messages from settings backup
notification led :
I like to turn it off all the rime even when charging but in android Q I couldn't find any way to disable it during charging
i was checking my old post about pie
1. Ambient Display : settings>display>advance>Ambient Display
It works only when you get a notification (its dope would like it being enabled always) though Daydream nowhere to be found.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so ambient display is gone screensaver is back (edit: its renamed and moved to display lock screen area as new notification toggle)
volume panel:
change volume click more slider button and this is how to devolve UI it shows a big screen covering prompt to show sliders
font in developer settings only two options device default seems better
no third-party launcher supports the new gesture navigation but it is a problem on google's part
left earphone to week? there is audio balance in assessability settings
vibratin and haptic feedback in assessability
not the true dark mode in assessability settings dark theme and color inversion options are nearby enough to test what we could have got for dark mode
dark mode doesn't get turn back to a light mode in live wallpaper
assessability volume key shortcut might come in in handy for some but it makes a notification sound
there is charging sound and vibration in sound settings might want to turn it off, I have seen Samsung charging sound but Asus just makes the phone vibrate with a faint sound might scare people who don't know as it's on by default in android q
I am getting the rotate once button in navbar when autorotate is off I am using two-button navigation and a small circle when using gesture
the lockdown option to prevent unlock by any other means now also prevents notification to show can be enabled in display>lock screen display> show lockdown option
in gesture navigation you can swipe up and continue in an app to make it go smaller beyond it should go
to start android it asks for setup screen lock password it is stepping in the right direction but we should have it in kernel/bios as once entered in recovery mode anyone can reset a phone
QR code to share wifi available
still no way to monitor or block devices connected to your hotspot
default Bluetooth name QCOM-BTD Qualcomm's BLE chip?
widgets to settings shortcut there should be system UI tuner after opening it shows this funny warning message
apps notificatio>notification snoozing useless button more useless because cant see snooze option in youtube notification
battery saver got new auto turn off at 90% feature
battery picture in battery settings seems thick would prefer "ampere app" like stats in later versions
display don't have color temperature adjust
accelerated location something about data storage and data concent
high accuracy, battery saver, etc options for location not available
google play system update is 1 January 2020 please update it
security patch is 5nov 2019
privacy section is great but would like fingerprint prompt in autofill scenario as like for wifi sharing
digital wellbeing well let's skip it as I already have 18 unlocks 1 hr30 mins in the settings app and will have 4hr+ in youtube so let's skip it
verificatin code auto fill in google settings I something nice to have but also worrying
now you can directly launch apps from app info after force stopping
in about phone >emergency info> medical info you can add your profile pic and emergency contacts
dev options> picture color mode sRGB does this option even work any were?
in dark mode theme when searched in settings there is a white padding
dev options> game driver properties I don't know what it does perhaps boost graphics performance
feature flags section in dev options shows nothing except experimental (edit: these were removed in Q beta 3)
system traces have many options like pre CPU buffer and in the category, it has some tick box options and possibly CPU performance after we stop getting updates
swipe up to recent in any navigation option seem a bit too sensitive
audio seems of though I only watched youtube (Linus tech tips) so far that is without headphones
in dev options audio Bluetooth codec shows APTX HD and other option which might make Bluetooth audio great
in dev options profile HWUI seems new but not sure what it is the bars shown on-screen seems familiar
in dev options adaptive notification priority makes no difference and doesn't have any description but a quick google search shows it is supposed to make low notification priority genital
in dev options apps can be installed in external storage option
in dev options force activities resizable doesn't work in split-screen view but I may be doing something wrong
also I hate the lock icon when unlocking also there is no center icon with face/fingerprint or padlock in lock screen
in dev options wifi entending option might help in office or home to extend wifi if it works
in dev options enable freeform windows doesn't work
in dev options forced desktop scant be tested as no video output but wireless display might allow haven't tested
in dev options I enabled bubble notification will add things that can access it
in dev options auto fill section is too vague and I am not getting what anything does
in the last pie post I said
2. icons in overview/multitasking screen
Settings>apps>default apps>home app> quick setup(new name for launcher3)>home screen>home settings>change icon shape >go back to your preferred launcher.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is now in theming in dev options
also ambient display (not to be confused with screensaver) kicks in when getting notification while the screen is off (edit: realized after posting this Asus renamed and moved to it to display> lock screen display> new notification )
widevine changed to L3 its used to stream Amazon Prime Video, BBC, Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, and Disney+ use Widevine DRM to manage the distribution of premium content. as a college student who has no job and already has to spend money on Jio internet I don't have any above-mentioned subscriptions and if you do use any services according to other beta testers you won't be supposably able to access them while in beta.
camera app
in pro mode no shutter speed control option
max iso in pro mode is 1600 like in HMD global camera
auto video encoder is h264

In Android pie when you set the theme to dark mode and use live wallpaper it uses auto revert back to light mode now it doesn't.

nowadays phones are getting so powerful and people can take great pictures so shouldn't sRGB be enabled by default? like it does help semi-professional photo editing if we get a bit more color accuracy.

things are too much to explain / broken but I like to deeply analyze things and couldn't find an in-depth bug list while thinking whether I should get in beta so after upgrading I made one. it has some errors but I am working on it

I saw this problem also mentioned in the forums and I asked my friends if my phone sounds different and didn't got any negative report also I watched youtube for 4hrs on Thursday and didn't heard any difference
Would be interested to know how to turn off the lock screen. Lock screen none does not appear as an option.
Regards.
Gestures are enabled by Google after December security patch nova / most other launchers work with gestures. You can however use 2 button and 3 button navigation perfectly.
About that dark and black mode difference we don't have an amoled or led display it's an lcd so it won't make difference in battery but kind of personal choice. I like dark more than black.
The thing about wallpaper and dark thing - in android 9 dark/light theme was set by wallpaper color so live wallpapers needed to support color picker api to tell the device to keep light or dark theme. (it was half broken by asus as selecting dark theme should've disabled the api completely, but using pixel default live wallpapers they had that api so dark mode worked with them).
That srgb was being considered by Google they dropped it as it broke a lot of the things.
You can resize top and bottom windows just hold the middle line in centre and drag it where you want to put it. (I use 400 dpi so I get more steps).
It's because that feature is intended towards large screen tablets or foldables and Samsung made their own thing, (the free form window thing).
It's for devs making password manager apps or autofill apps those people need it for debugging, the logging levels are to make reports to find bugs, the max request is how many times in one field the autofill will attempt to fill in credentials. The max visible dataset is if you have multiple accounts to one app (take Gmail as example) so while trying to autofill it lists all of available accounts to show (I'm not an expert in this so I maybe wrong if needed confirm that.
About sound issue it is very real and use some good quality earphones or compare side by side with 060 running device.
Was messing around under about phone and was tapping android version and a knob appeared? Any clue as to what it's about or for??
