Question? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do I need to root my D800 to be to change my themes like you can on the other carriers version of this phone? I had the sprint variant of this phone and had to go to AT&T due to signal issues. Stupid how AT&T conveniently left this feature out. And still let you manually change individual icons. All except the app drawer.
Anyways. Is there anything I can do to get this feature on my device.?

Bump.

Yes you would need to root to gain the theme chooser ability on the d800

Lock screen apps

How do we change which apps are on the lock screen. I cannot find the settings anywhere.
I want to add Gmail to there since that is the main notification that lights up.

Where is it? I still don't see it. Can you take a screenshot of it for me. It's not there.

Been using it since root was achieved and it works great.

It works as advertised. Honestly I wish I could keep the constant sift keys and just shrink them down a little.

Where is this option ?

I tried this app out and didn't like that I had to have the recent apps button so I uninstalled it. Now my status bar is stuck at 50% transparency. Any fix other than build prop?

So this app replaces the menu button with a recent apps button?
I mentioned this in my root thread, when someone asked what I used to hide my soft keys lol. LMT is also another alternative.

I used option 2. The I've with the nexus 4. I have restored the lmt backup with titanium backup for the last 2 phones I've owned and I haven't had to switch it off of that option.

LG Smartworld

I can't get the lg world app to work on the At&t variant of the G2. The only reason I want it is to download theme icons. Any ideas or work around? My model number seems to be the issue because I know of it works on the int'l version
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you are rooted you can install Unicon from Play Store and then you'll have access to hundreds icon packs made for most popular launchers (Apex, Nova...). It works for stock LG Home launcher as well.

This is Nox icon pack. Btw, I've installed custom recovery as well. Not sure if it's necessary for Unicon to work properly. Hopefully someone will chime in with answer.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk 4
Please disregard my posts. Funny me. I thought that LG Smartworld is a theme. LOL
Good luck with your agenda.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't rooted because I'm. I'm not set on LG yet.

You can use Desktop VisualizeR to change your icons to any packs you want. No rooting required...download in the play store along with any packs you want. Super easy.

Stopping OTA

Hey guys. Is there a way to freeze the software update so it doesn't force push the kitkat ota overnight? I don't want kitkat until they get the battery drain from Bluetooth and phone idle under control.
I know of titanium backup and fotakill. I'm not rooted though.

There is no way to stop it unless you are rooted you really can't do much unless you are rooted its difficult to not have root because you need root to freeze apps
