Hello LG G2 section!
I recently bought this beauty and the only things I didn't like were these 2:
1) 2GB ram is typically 1GB since the the other half is reserverd I guess? -Does root changes this?
2) I don't like the Dialer and In-Call UI at all.
I tried some "apps" but those are for having a better number pad UI, so it doesn't change the incoming calls or general in-call UI.
I don't want to root (not yet) and as I know, my last stupid phone (HTC HDmini) was able to change that with a simple .exe file.
Is it possible to do that in android without root/flash?
Any kind of redirect links would be awesome!
My version is 4.4.2.
-Thank you!
1. No of 2 gb 1.8 is available for user the system uses around 1 gb
2. No you need to flash something or use app like full screen calling screen that lag and they doesn't replace the call in screen

If you haven't made any changes to your dialer as of yet, try ex dialer. It's quicker and easier on the eyes....plus you can change themes.

If I am not mistaken, exDialer is an app. That means you have to replace the current phone app with the exDialer.
Also it does not support incoming call changes (which is the ugliest part I think).

Correct....it is an app and you can use it as your default phone if you choose.
But still, my problem is the dialer (which can be changed quite easily with an app) but I want to change the incoming call/ in-call UI too...
I'm also quite unhappy with the looks of stock G2 dialer and the rest of the LG apps and I'm currently looking forward to jump to Cloudys G3 port....but it's too buggy still....so as a temporary workaround I've been replacing most stock apps with 3rd party apps and some G3 app ports i 've found here and there like the keyboard and notification panel...the only app that annoys me the most is the Dialer!! I haven't found a way of completely replacing it...and there hasn't been a G3 port for it yet either....as far as I'm aware of. Anyone has had any luck replacing it?
Exdialer for your dialing needs and this for the call screen.
Wow thank you revan17! This could actually work!

Both cloudy g3 1.0 and 1.1 are running perfectly fine. Give them a try. You may be surprised.

I already have I decided to take the leap yesterday with Cluody's G3 1.1, and after a full wipe and clean install I'm very impressed with the stability and performance..I haven't run into any bugs, FC or reboots for now..I'm even using Viper4android and Xposed with Gravity Box, G3 Tweaksbox Beta, with no problems, so I haven't lost any functionality either...I highly recommend anyone wanting to get rid of the ugly G2 stock UI to give it a try! But be sure to do a full wipe and follow Cloudy's recommendations regarding the bootloader and kernel.
btw. I have a D802
Thank you for the comments!
I don't look forward to root my G2 (since that "cloudy g3" is a ROM right?) and I also found that these dialer apps are very buggy and they don't replace the initial apps, they just overlap them (which I find bad).
Maybe I will wait for a 4.5 version, I don't know...

Yes, it's a rom. Is there any reason why you don't want to root? There's so much more potential you can squeeze out of your mobile by rooting it....and you can always unroot it and go back to stock if you're not happy or need to take it to warranty (as long as it's still functional of course).
I also had the same thoughts after starting to clutter my phone with mods and 3rd party apps to get a nicer UI and get rid of G2's stock one....I ended with apps overlapping and the UI looked fragmented..though nicer every app has a different style which isn't great for a seamless and fluid UI experience...plus the more apps and mods the more posibilities of running into bugs and errors.
That's why flashing Cloudy's G3 rom was the perfect solution for me [emoji106]

Well, the reasons I don't want to root right now are:
1) I rooted my previous phone alot of times and I have battery problems (HTC HD mini). I went back to the original ROM, and the service guy told me that I had flashed it and it shouldn't be on warranty.
2) I will probably wait for and 4.5 version. I don't want to do 10 roots in order to find the perfect one for me...
3) I don't have time right now to learn how to flash on Android (therefore this specific phone). I learned how to do it on Windows 6.5 so, I will look forward to it.
If there are any specific guides, I would be glad if you can link them to me

If they didn't accept it in warranty then you probably didn't set everything back to stock correctly There are plenty of guides explaining the process for the G2. And regarding the battery problems, on the contrary, you should probably get better battery life with a custom ROM as most of them get rid of LG's bloatware and useless apps which eat up battery and memory...and then you can even try different Kernels to further improve your battery life.
But for this you need time to read and get some basic knowledge on how an android system works, for example what Root is (from your post, I think you confuse rooting a phone with flashing a Rom), what's the Baseband, Modem, Bootloader, Custom Recovery, ADB, Kernel, Rom..etc Once you understand each of these terms and their function in the Android system it's very easy to get things done...and by using common sense it's actually quite difficult to completely **** up your mobile! But again...for that you need some time, and if you don't have that luxury, it will be more complicated..
Since we have the same model of the LG G2 (D802) I'll write you a quick step by step so you can have an overview of the process..and then read further yourself...but I won't take any responsibiliy if you run into trouble..
Thank you for the further information!
I will have some time after Monday so, I will try to look up all of those things you told me.
Don't get busy typing a guide for me, I am sure there are many guides out there and I can search for them
Thank you very much for the precious information!

ok, good luck! If you need any help just send me a PM.
Hey, for some reason I'm not able to respond to your PM, it's says you've either restricted the receipt of PM's or that you're not allowed to reveive them...so I'll answer you here.
-When you install a Rom, you "Flash" it (in PC terminology, it would be the equivalent of installing the Operating System, like Windows for example).
-The Kernel is a sort of "lower level" part of the operating system, which acts as and intermediary between the software and hardware. You can flash it (install it) independently from the ROM, but most of the Custom ROM's you'll find already have their own Kernel integrated, so you just have to flash the ROM. As an example, I'm using Cloudy G3 Rom which already came with it's own Kernel integrated, but I read in many posts that this other Kernel from Bruce2728 works very well (better battery life, faster, etc) with my LG G2 model D802 and Cloudy's G3 Rom, so after flashing Cloudy's G3 Rom I flashed Bruce2728's Kernel on top of it.
-Rooting is the process of gaining full privileges to the Android Operating System, so you can accces, modify and install anything you want (in PC terminology it would be the equivalent of upgrading from a restricted User account to an Administrator account)...normally, as long as you flash Custom Roms, you'll only have to root your device once. And as I mentioned you in my previous post, you can manually un-root your phone if you need to take it back for warranty for example, I never had to do it yet, but if it's ever necessary you can find guides explaining how to do it.

I made this AOSP-like image for use it as the default image for the caller id app (for contacts with no image and unknown phone numbers).
Enjoy.
Greetings XDA Members,
I've searched for quite some time, with limited success on keeping a stock rom along with Google Dialer. The best of both worlds if you will, that would allow great features without the loss of another. It was always a debate between using a AOSP rom at the loss of the camera, or sticking to stock and working with xposed to change settings to an agreeable state. With endless google searches, forums read, and opinions given by others; they all seemed to end with "Not Possible". Well, with some trial and error I have found a workable solution that will allow the Google Dialer to replace the stock dialer, and also allow for "In-callui" to replace the stock one.
It also needs to be mentioned, that I cannot guarantee this will work with your variant, custom rom, or other items not factored into the equation. Though this has worked for me without fail on the ATT Model D850 on Cloudy 2.5 but there are a few details to note. The "In-callUI" will show for both Incoming & Outgoing calls, but you will first see your stock one come up for a brief second or so and switch over. For me, this isn't an issue as I don't immediately answer or hang up when a call completes. Some of the items recommended in the prerequisite are optional and provide other ways to find/adjust permissions, or freeze/delete applications (Stock dialer). I'm not personally an avid developer, but if you have any questions I've been able to gain a great deal of knowledge over the years with hands on experience with the Android operating system. Feel free to ask any questions that may come up, and I'll be happy to assist if possible.
Pre-requisites;
LG G3 - Rooted
Custom Recovery with knowledge on Flashing ZIP files.
Root Explorer / File Manager
Nova Launcher / App to launch an activity.
Titanium Backup (recommended to backup Dialer and other applications in case of damage)
Included in the attachments is the file GoogleStockDialerAndMms. This file is a flashable zip that will automatically adjust the permissions necessary to make calls. It's highly recommended that you make a backup of your current rom with TWRP/CWM in case any issues arise. As this adds two files to your system directory, there is always a chance that an error can occur.
If you choose the route of Nova, you can create a shortcut to an activity. Below I've included a screenshot of which activity needs to be chosen in order to use Google Dialer.
Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.
Choose "Shortcuts"
Select "Activities"
Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
Can I disable my default dialer?
The short answer is no. As a general rule, you will need to keep your present dialer enabled in order to receive calls. The long answer is that on some phones you might be able to disable your stock dialer, but on others you definitely cannot. Feel free to try it on your own device and let us know what your results are. If you choose to do attempt this, I highly recommend against uninstalling and instead move to FREEZING the phone applications with Titanium Backup or similar root enabled application.

hi @Eruvion, just wanted to check if we get the search feature with your google dialer? or does this depend on the country you live in? thanks.

thanks, i will try it once im back home.
yesterday i installed the apk from apkmirror and created a shortcut for google dialer. everything worked as should other that the tab in the most left, i think thats the call history. the dialer FC anytime that icon was touched.
Good job on this even if Im already running an AOSP based ROM, I dont need this.
But you took time writing and explaining everything so thanked all your posts,
Have a nice day

i flashed the zip and everything seems to be working fine. i am also able to search close by businesses, i typed pizza and it showed me the closest pizza places.
the only FC i am getting is in settings when i tap call settings-voicemail, call waiting. i don't use that so its ok for me. thanks again.
also i did not have to create a shortcut, the app icon was there after restart.

This does work on VS985 5.0.1. The settings does crash if you click whatever the second option was (Went back to stock for my own reasons).

@SyCoREAPER thank you for the update!
Doesn't work here....either when triggered from a Nova Settings widget or from the icon in the launcher. Instant force close. I can try to grab a log if you think it'll help?
D852, running Dene_Bluesman's rom (basically stock LG 5.0.1)
Edit - wonder if its because the rom version i'm using is odexed? Going to try the deodexed version and report back....
Edit 2 - nope still crashes instantly. Super frustrating! Please let me know if a log will help! @Eruvion
I want to try this on my lg G2, is there any reason you think it might not work? Anything that would make this zip specific to the G3?
+1 on this. would like to see if we can get this to work on Cloudy for G2.
Hi
This thread seem's a bit dead. Anyway i have flashed this file and it works. I am on N&N 1.3 rom. It's a stock mm based rom.
Hi.
I don't know if I'm in the right place because I'm in canada and have the 900w8 (with Wind/Freedom) but anyway, just bought my Note 3 recently and I see no Mobile Data shortcut on the Notification panel and it seems this was a common problem after some update and I couldn't find any fixes for this. Also, the phone has Android version 5, which I know isn't the latest version but looks like there will be no updates for us.
So, any way I can get the Data shortcut, or maybe the android 6 version? My phone is stock everything.
Thanks.

Best I can tell you is to flash with Odin stock 5.0, but other than that, I do not know how you could fix it. Or just root it and try a custom ROM if that is something so important to you.
Thanks again for the reply and the suggestions, man. Yeah I don't know why this is happening with the Note 3s but like I said this was a common problem after some update. I've never rooted or flashed any phone and I don't know if I want to do this. So, looks like I have to live with this inconvenience. It also looks like I won't be able to swipe down to access shortcuts unless I unlock the screen. On my Moto E (Android 6) I'm able to do that without having to unlock the screen. That's another inconvenience.

Is that the case? I am not on stock anymore, but I think I remember it was possible if I just had the lockscreen to "swipe".
But then again, it could be a difference between Android 5 and 6
Flashing is an intimidating task and requires a lot of research but not as much as you may think.
Anyway, I'm not going to grind on that suggestion. Best I can tell you now is, enjoy your Note 3 experience

Yeah I guess I'm stuck with what I have for now (no Data shortcut and no swiping with locked screen) but I don't know why I can't get an update (Android 6) for the Note 3.
Thanks anyways for the reply.
I'm very much an amateur on this, not a programmer at all, but also have some familiarity with some programming languages. in any case this is my situation. I bought the S8+ unlocked directly from Samsung. I didn't want to buy it from sprint and get all the bloatware from them on top of the bloatware from Samsung. One app I want though is the sprint voicemail app. VVM.apk. I don't want to go to the sprint store because I know they will give me the app plus install all their garbage that I never use. I found a download in another thread of the app here (it was a modded app) but of course the app won't work. It also mentioned some code than needed to change using a build.prop app, but my phone is not rooted. The messages it needs to send to sprint for activation do not go through. . Also I may need to get a different version of the app? (not sure where to get that either) in any case I need a little advice. How do I get the app to work? do I have to root my phone? rooting the phone seems a lot out of my league. should I just give up and let sprint ruin my phone with their bloatware? ugh

well i been looking and haven't found it, there was one BAT file someone made it cleared it all i keep looking around this was on the LG G4 tho thought there will be one for the v20 plus i wont use this on anyones phone, if you look me up you see who i am laserwolf452. i help people with their V20s but will never use the software for evil use nor use it on anyones phone as this breaks my rule, this is for my use only if there is no such thing then i move on to figuring this one out
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I'm just not a fan of people who take other phones. But anyways you can do some ways from the internet but one my friends was able to frp unlock an lg stylo 3 plus which i know is different but it works with lg phones and you have to go in settings to allow app transfering from a separate phone and you transfer 3 apps, Quick Shortcut Maker, Nova Launcher ( or any i think), and side bar lite
