I won't get picky about it.
But particularly I believe a world of a lot of g1 users, root and non root would really appreciate a home replacement that allows the user to do the following.
Choose which apps to show in the app drawer.
And the ability to move apps out into the "add to home screen" feature that shows up when you longpress the home screen/menu-add. In a new sub section called hidden apps/roughly around there.
So applications to prevent theft on the g1 could be hidden there over being spotted in the app drawer.
:]
Just an idea.
It is a good idea. Should post it in the dream applications+games section Though.
A layered app menu would be nice...

I was thinking that since the hero widget can't be ported to a normal g1 someone could try to use Sweeter home's layer option for an sms type widget similar to the hero.
I think it could work out very well since you can add layers and transparency.
An option to hide the apps in the tray would be nice!! I'm down for that.

Haha I know! Lately I've been bothered at having a very long app drawer, and apps like Photovault, password storage apps,and other not so commonly used apps would just fit beautifully in that new folder I'm suggesting.
I'm trying to keep this thread alive with hopes that a dev will see it and take the challenge so keep this thread alive :]
If anyone could do this, it would be the folks over at Better Android (OpenHome). In my humble opinion, they have the best home app on the market. You should forward this request to them!

I would like to, but half the time I've ever emailed better home they've done nothing but send me minimal short dissatisfying responses. But yea I use Open Home/have bought it.
Currently running Cyans build with the a hero theme or some widgets works fine enough with me.
But idk I think A home has a better go about things like this.
And of course Sweeter home is my favorite.
Yeah not sure why folders in the menu havent been figured out yet...I was almost sure someone would have cracked that missing feature long ago...
i would love a folder app or a tab app to put in the drawer,
you can hide icons, or make a whole tab of just games.
also, i wish there was a app that would lock icons on the main screens.
so nobody can move the icons unless you activate them.
anyone get my drift?
Better Android Says:
That's a good idea, although 'hiding' apps from the app drawer wont provide any securities because they are plenty to launch an app once you get pass the lock screen.

I sent him back an email saying that it would still help to weed out duplicates (like having a shortcut, and in the app drawer). I didn't get a response back on that one.
I would like to see this though.

Yea if we made a larger up roar about it and got more emails to the betterandroid guys they'd pretty much have to do it
Ive just made something like this.... you can "throw" away the application shortcuts from the app drawer and "restore" them using an added menu..

Haha rogro82 beat me to it.
I was gonna link his thread, but i guess he already linked his own.
Maybe you should provide screenshots and more details.
Thanks!
MY 2 cents
So far I love the suggestions and it sounds great.
Have you seen DxTop? I used it for a while and loved the one swipe to any of the 4 screens, maybe something like that. Maybe the ability to add more or subtract screens.
And always keep it fast.
I have heard that there is a mod that allows up to 10 screens, but I haven't found it yet. Please PM me if you know what mod I am talking about.
Thanks.

retske - Just so you're aware, the app that rogro linked to just a few posts above does all those things without needing to install bloatware (except for the "1 swipe" thing...what's a tap or 2 more?).
forgive me if this belongs in QnA but i currently have the awesome nemoplayer app. really nice app but the problem im having is with the widget. when i try to add the widget to a home page with no other widgets in it, it still says not enough room. i also tried a couple of home replacements but still the same result. anyone know why?

The nemoplayer was made for a phone with more screen real estate. The g1/mt3g is smaller and is not able to show a widget bigger than it. You can tell the difference when you open the app and when searching for a picture to look at half of the bottom row is cut off
Wow! The search button actually works. LOL I was about to start a new topic but just searched and look at what happened.

How ironic, a search actually brought up search results. It's a miracle
Lol I was just wonderin the same thing.I thought something was wrong wit my phone
Actually I'm having this same problem on my nexus one.
If you've installed a new launcher, you may find the same thing I did: it's pretty much impossible to get an image to not distort when used for wallpaper. I messed with this for hours.
Then I discovered the app Wallpaper Set and Save. It runs on the NC, and it does one thing: set wallpaper so it's not distorted. Perfect.
Can you post the apk?

Sure. Here 'tis.
Dolphin 4 set the wallpaper for me from an internet picture just fine, FYI.
This is only a work around though. I want undone whatever it was the launcher pro did or im going to flash my nook and start over.
I'd guess that Launcher Pro just undid whatever hackery B&N did to their rom to correct the natively terrible way android handles desktop images. This app just rehacks it.
Same issue
I had the same problem but what I did was just set launcher pro to show 1 col by 1 row then after the resize went back to 10 col by 10 rows. First pop-up the settings menu with the tiny little menu button between the battery and "U" buttons in the soft menu. Rows and columns are set in preferences>Homescreen settings.
Note this just got my icons back on screen but the wallpaper is still oversized.
Would a subforum for people who want to be LendMe friends be a good idea?
Or would it be better off here?
I think it would work out very well to separate the conversation so people can find people they want to lend books between. It didn't occur to me before for XDA because most of the forums have to do with phones that dont have this sort of social feature
just a thought

A very good thought. We just have to find Nookers who share similar interests. Its own thread would be a good idea.

I'm certain a whole new website/forum will crop up with people willing to lend books to one another. The great thing about lending through the Nook is that you know you'll get your book back! (That is until someone figures out how to hack it to keep the book )

When I use the app, the wallpapers end up super-pixellated.
Any other hackery to get the wallpaper issues fixed?

Are you comfortable in your own skin? Is your phone comfortable in its skin? Rate this thread to express how you deem the skin on the LG V20. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it adds just the right amount of features, it's visually pleasing, and overall it's additive to the experience. If this is a Nexus phone (you didn't think we hand-wrote all of these prompts, did you?) then use this rating to indicate how the latest version of Android looks to you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I love LGs take on Android. I see some room for improvement but I'd rate it 7 out of 10.
I moved from a rooted G3 and immediately missed the Google Now launcher, so I threw that on. I should probably give LGs skin a shot before I change over completely.
I didn't much care for the LG skin. Then again, I was stymied by the lack of an app drawer which I now know is a setting adjustment away. I'm using the Pixel launcher now. I'm more comfortable with that having been a Google Now launcher user.

How do you like the Pixel Launcher? I had to go with Google Now launcher (coming from a N-6P). Wanting to try something else though...
I give an 8/10 to the themes. I Wish they have done at least about 200+ themes before actually adding that to the setting. Then again,,,, it is better than nothing. Think about it as a CM theme store but very limited (probably "yet") maybe after a couple of weeks they allow others to create new themes, or they themselves do a couple of 100+ more

I miss the cards page. You can get it by tapping the "G" twice. Accessing the app drawer means tapping a carat near the bottom of the screen. Otherwise, it's the same as Google Now.
I'm intrigued by the Google Assistant available on the Pixel. I trying to cobble together bits and pieces of it. If we can get root and access to build.prop, we can get most of that feature.

So I actually have the cards page on my V20. I just went with the Google Now launcher. And in terms of the assistant, I downloaded ALLO & it has G Assistant built in now. Or at least a "preview version" of it. It is pretty awesome too!!!
(I realize that taking a clip of the cards page doesn't show that it is an actual page of my "home screens" but it is all the way to the left like it is on Google Android N.)

3 themes!?!?!?!? Cmon man.
Ok, on the stock launcher is there anyway to change the grid size? Its an option to change it in the "regular" home but not the "home and app drawer"
Just got my V20 and I'm trying to give it a review.. Definitely a step up from the G4 G5 and V10.. Probably the best they've done.. The user interface is no longer cartoonish and has a much more sophisticated look to it.. The phone itself feels sturdy but still sleek. It went through 60,000 qc tests and it was also given a high military grade for strength.. They moved the volume buttons back to the side and I'm having a lot of trouble adjusting. The rear button design was perfect and genus.. They took away a couple of apps I really preferred, but they're take on what Google is wanting these manufacturers to start putting out, is awesome. It's the closest they've come to perfecting a blend of Lg originality with Google's streamlined material design. So far I'm very impressed. The Quad Dac damn near blows my speakers out in my Mercedes which has a Harmon Kardon surround system. Think about that, a phone blowing out a top of the line surround system.. Crazy to think how far we've come since Nokia. The camera I'll play with as the days come, but the only thing I don't like about the ui is it could use a tad bit more color and the notification menu could use a little contrast for separating cards.. Also where did smart notice and their stock calculator go. The LG calculator had an option to review history which I used frequently. Overall I'm pretty pleased having had every flagship of theirs excluding the G5..
New to LG. My first phone with lg is this v20.
The OEM skin needs a lot of work. I'm getting used to it.
I was going to slap on Nova but I'm sticking out. Thus far not bad.
Options for app drawer are in setting (initially I was not too thrilled with no app drawer and having apps on the main screen, that is apple boring)
There's no posting for DAC. But I'm very impressed. The earlier poster mentioned how the Mercedes speaks got blown, I have to check it out on my car stereo, I'm still using BT.
Over all loving the functioning of the phone.
Coming from note series, I do miss the stylus.
OEM has a screen shot app I just wish it was more versatile like the note 4 series stylus with cropping and drawing and sharing. With the OEM screen shot it seems there's multiple steps in getting the shot then cropping and then writing on it and then sharing it. Maybe I'll have up get use to the steps.

if you were looking for more themes and customization, just use the lg smart world app. should be able to download it on your phone via the browser.

I thought it was awful, too. Then I found the Capture+. It's great. Works very, very well. It's in the pull down, or can be added to the home buttons or second screen in display options. Play with it for a few minutes
No bad ****er
I've always preferred Stock UI over OEM Skins, especially Touch Wizz or Sense UI, and i would never get a chinese phone such as Huawei or XiaoMi just for their Chinese iOS looking version of Android they design... So i'm pretty much happy with LG UI, installed Nova Launcher to get a more "next to stock" experience. Love the theme engine and Bencze Themes, theming is much more complete than Xperia's themes for instance.

So, lovIng my s10.. but the edge notifications are not to my liking.. I see that the circle animation around the selfie camera is cool.. This does this great animation when you switch to the selfie cam.
I have 2 questions..
1. Can or will this led be used for notifications in the future?
2. Does it have different colours?
Would be great if someone has some answers!
Thank you

Sound slike it's coming in the future but you can do this through Always On Edge. There's an option for the pixels around the led for a colored ring.
It works. However, the dev was a real Dbag when I called him out for hiding the true app purchase price inside of one of the "Watch ad" buttons needed to save the options to test this thing out.
Anyway, it's not a bad alternative. I don't like that it makes you do an extra step (i.e. thumb print twice), but it is cool enough for now.
Will give this a go, thanks pal

Thanks for this! I don't like the built in lock screen and like over a hundred options you have to choose from and add etc.... However it's so promising though as we now definitely know samsung has access to modify and set this as an option as said in the samsung forum I posted! Can't wait if samsung pushes this in the next update! :fingers-crossed:

They use the screen as a notification and have dots or icons that move around to keep screen burn in at bay. Doesn't work so well on LCD screens but nice on OLEDs with minimal battery use.
