LG Please know we hate this. Let us turn this annoying feature off

This right here pisses me off
Sick of this damn call timer when trying to use other apps during a call.

Although that there isnt the main reason why I'm getting rid of this phone, I'll go ahead and add it to the ever growing list of reasons why I'm dumping it and getting a Nexus 6. Screw LG and their locked down pile of garbage. Sad thing is, it's so much wasted potential.

I love it when a new device comes out, and XDA becomes riddled with whiney posts about "this" or "that" which users say they 'hate' or 'can't stand'. Okay, so there's no publicized root method yet, deemed safe for consumerism, but once that's released I'm sure that every little quarky nuance will have a method to remove, hide, or alter in some way. The call timer has an option for hiding in the LG G3 via G3 Tweaksbox. With that example, I stand confident that this phone will have some type of similarities to, as I mentioned, "deal" with the things people complain about. Fact is, this phone is not impressively different from the G3, and there are no real profoundly engineered improvements made in the G4. You may ask, "Apex, y u bye did fone den?" Good question. My answer is this, I like LG's products and I appreciate the work developers are able to do, in order to make something good, great. So, in the meamtime, until root is available, you won't hear me having a hissy fit about (insert whatever) things. Samsung isn't for me, HTC is bunk, Motorola, well... been there, done that. I think most folks would respect those complaints be made on Reddit, or somewhere besides the place that developers afford us the grace of enjoying what they do for the community, free of charge.

TWRP now too.. ROMS will be flowing soon.

Meh, I left the steaming pile of hardware failures that is a Nexus 6 for the G4. Volume rockers stopped working on the first one, new phone had screen issues, ya, the N6 isn't the greatest phone ever.

It sure was when I posted, or did you not see the date of the Op? Yay, you got root on a phone that should have been unlocked in the first place.

Because clicking a check box to unlock the bootloader is so hard. Root takes time on all modern devices.

Hahaha... Now root being available, I've installed debloated ROM and 3000mah battery serves me really well. Not to mention boost in speed as well. On stock ROM, I was missing my nexus 5 so much.
I hope you stuck around for a little longer. Feels like beasty phone just got injected with the steroid.

Agreed....I was fed up with this phone.....root came and glory glory amen it's a better phone. Even with just a simple debloated ROM....can't wait till they really tweak the stock ROM like crazy. I probably won't go aosp....because of the camera app...whole reason I bought the phone...it deletes the side car RAW file in the default gallery aosp can't do that...neither can manual camera app or Fv5

I'm not sure if you figured it out, but since we have root, you can download app ops from play store. Go to the phone section and disable draw on top. It will stop the timer. And so far I have not noticed anything wrong.

I checked and I still get the dialog box, make sure the option is checked in the call settings. I'm not sure what you mean about the notification bar, but I can drag down and click on the call, which brings me back to the call.

Thanks for this

Seems like a really silly reason to get rid of an otherwise awesome phone...

What's funny is that the current root methods as dangerous as they are. Are no more dangerous then when I had my Evo4g, and that team didn't have something like "OEM Unlock" to make it easier. No risk, no reward.

Not to mention that you can drag that icon anywhere on the screen so i dont see how it can be so intrucive during other app usage. Also why dont you just talk on the phone, your on a call, pay attention and stop playing with other apps, real easy

Camera App does not launch using the double click method

So I just messaged ZTE about how I think double clicking the camera button to launch the camera would be a good feature. I thought, that's too simple, there's no way its NOT there. Sure enough I look in the manual and it says " In other screens, Press twice to launch camera..." when I double press it does NOT open the camera.
I hope some dev talent picks up this device. The hardware is there just needs some polish on the software. I'm very satisfied with this phone, My first none Nexus device since before the Nexus S. I was blown away by the design and specs so I had to get a hold of one.

Yeah that feature seems to not be working at all. Bummer too.

I noticed something interesting today with my axon. When holding down the camera button in any other screen, the haptic feedback triggers. So something is assigned to the button, it may just be a programming error.

So im not the only one! thank god I was worried I had some sort of internal hardware issue... It gives the slightest vibration on a double click but nothing launches.
EDIT: I just tweeted at AXON about this issue. Hopefully bring it to their attention and we start getting some polishing on this otherwise pretty great software.

Camera Key
the quick launch feature was removed last minute out of fear of taking pictures in your pocket. It may be readded at a later date with a software update. If you have any questions call 1-800-617-5065. that number is a VIP line just for the axon pro

Their R&D dept is very consumer friendly and one of their guys at headquarters is a nexus guy and he's on XDA all the time.

Yea their customer relations is on fire. I just got a message on Twitter about an update from the problem I asked about a few days ago. I'm very impressed.

I'd imagine a lot of people who do gaming would appreciate the extra button. For me, not really an idea, but I'd like to use fingerprint to take pics. This has been done by a dev here, however AFAIK it doesn't work with the stock camera and that limits things.
But sure if I have any ideas I'll let you know.
Edit--ok just off top of my head--maybe a shortcut for call recording, screenshot, sleep, etc.
Not sure if this interests you or you're more of a game developer.

It was awhile back. Go deep in this section (apps &themes). I MIGHT have gotten it wrong. Think it controls the shutter but like I said it only works with a specific camera app.

Would it be possible for finger print scanner to register a scrolling motion? For example use it to scroll down webpage or ebook

Its possible but what is major use case ?

Is development still going for this app as I see in the play store it's only been installed 1-5 times? Seems a good idea.

Full Screen gesture control like Paranoid Android's blink concept.

I came around this app called Fluid Navigation Gestures.
It's awesome, it needs some permissions to hide the navigation bar that you have to provide through adb commands. The instructions are clear and anyone can do all that.
There are unlimited possibilities for the way you navigate through this app, It's highly customisable. There is also a 1$ optional payment that opens up more customizations.

I've used it for a couple of weeks and I must say, it's amazing. I even bought the pro version, and the developer answers quite fast on Twitter. However, I noticed that my A2 is laggy due to framework bug. It's listed under the known issues, and I had to uninstall because of that. Has anyone else faced lag when using it on a mi a2?

Well no lags on my device, and the bug you said is not listed there, maybe it got fixed. Although there is a mention of lag due to accessibility service, but I never experienced it.
Only issue I have is faulty previous app function, at times it tries to open the app I am already in.
Here is the screenshot of known bugs in the app.

Sorry, I meant accessibility. It's been a few weeks already that I tried. Let's see if I'll have this problem again. This app can consistently change the way we use our soft keys phones, and I loved it

Wish Android had the swipe-to-back feature that iOS has had for years, its such a smooth experience.
MIUI has the same gestures OP suggested, but its so unnatural, same goes for these gestures.

Really nice app and "fluid". Been using since day 1 I got a2 lite, as I loved the full screen gesture on MIUI ROM.
Although I recently updated to Pie and this app (and others like this) are causing flickering issues.
EDIT
Turning on "disable HW overlays" in developer options fixes the flickering issue for now.

If you end up flashing it, let me know how it goes. You want to know a professional. Neobuddy. That man is pure genius and really, really nice if you get to chat him up.
Like I said. The moment official drops, I'm out and will no longer be part of the "scene". Until then I will provide updates when I have time. I work nights, so that should give you a good idea of my time schedule
I have updated the OP with more information.

First of all.. Thank you for your great work.
I have some question.
Warp charge works?
How about battery life?
Face unlock works?

No face unlock yet. Charging is fine. Battery life you'll have to determine for yourself

I forgot that I removed some stuff while I was doing my own private builds. Ill be uploading *at some point* a build with the fixes. You can simply reboot to recovery and flash.

Link updated to new build. Nothing huge, some fixes for stuff that others may use.

Can I dirit flash from this build when official builds release? Will official builds keep no encryption?

Dirty flash probably not. I know the maintainer very well. He will have encryption.

Honestly I am just trying to give everyone a stable, easy to flash build until official drops. I keep source up to date, I have made some of my kernel changes etc.. This is not my great return. I just thought it would be nice to have something stable and more inline (outside of being decrypted) to what Evox will drop. When official drops, I will fade back into the darkness from which I came.

Do you all want encryption? I don't care one way or another.

apophis9283 said:
Let me start this off by saying this would be a placeholder until official Evox hits. OOS camera works. Everything is great. For now it is NOT ENCRYPTED. You can use orange fox to set a pin in recovery and that way it makes it easier to flash. While still having some security. Comes with my kernel, which is being worked on and is a work in progress. So huge thanks to @Blaster4385. This is a courtesy. Arguing or demanding anything and I close the thread down. I ask that moderators watch this thread and if things get out of control immediately and without question, shut it down immediately. If moderators decide that their requirements have been met and shut down the thread, IT WILL NOT BE REOPENED!
Off topic chat will be tolerated for a few posts at most. Anything pertaining to the ROM/kernel is fine
You will need to clean flash. Bottom line.

Not sure. I have "more" stuff in device settings. I still have some work to do before I drop a build though

I have touchscreen gestures being built as well as the "extras" for slider unfortunately at this moment they aren't working. Ive exhausted all the times I have for tonight. It could be just a clean flash is required, I won't even be able to that route until I wake up tomorrow.
