Thanks for the help on the pie controls! I really appreciate it, it's just something I never really used on the Nexus, nor used the LMT itself. But without a pure AOSP build, I feel it needs tweaked a bit to get back to a little more familiar grounds. (No Nexus 5 on Verizon .. grrr)
I think I was getting myself confused a bit thinking those tweaks could give me our 3 normal softkeys to replace my physical and capacitive ones. I know it was possible on the Note 2 from reading but it didn't seem to happen without a bit of troubles. Either way, I am rooted now and have removed some of the bloat apps. I am now considering going back into the custom realm on ROMS.
Thanks for the tips!
Im trying to map a shortcut for screenshots but so far none of them have worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37823525&postcount=3328
maybe i can just find an app and map that.
Nevermind updated to the newest build and screenshot is an option.
Is the default input device #4 the best for N3?
I replaced 1 pie button and the other defaults went missing, any way around that, I would like to replace them one at a time?
When blacklisting apps I have to scroll through ~400 app list to remove non ui sys services then select one at a time, is the list a file somewhere that can be edited by other means?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'default input device'. As you set up PIE you can customize the number of tiles (up to 5) and have up to 2 levels of tiles, for a total of 10 possible shortcuts. The first level is set by default to be Android navigation buttons (soft buttons), 'back', 'home', 'menu', 'search', 'multitasking'.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If these defaults have gone missing, or there are less than 5, PIE will reduce the number of 'buttons' that show up when activated, i.e. graphic UI will be adjusted
I could reduce each level of PIE down to 1 'button' if I choose.
Now that I'm thinking in this context, I'm guessing that is what you mean by "default input devices". If I am reading you right, you can set up to 5 and there will be no issue for the Note 3, likewise say that you only wanted three 'buttons' or 'input devices" (Home, Back, Menu) that wouldn't be a problem either. PIE will adjust the Graphic UI to match your settings, there won't be 5 'buttons' on screen if you only set 3 of them. I hope I'm being clear?

Honestly I don't blacklist any apps from from PIE
Can I ask why you want to Blacklist an application? Once I set the apps I want in my PIE I don't worry about the other apps I have installed on my device. I set those to be my most used apps, for the particular device om setting up. For instance, my Note 3 2nd level PIE app shortcuts are these
I have them set, and if I need to change them I just sift through the apps and replace them (I agree it does take some time to load, but once you have it set as you launch PIE it is seamless). I guess I don't understand why you want to Blacklist an application, when you only need to set the ones you want to have appear on the PIE launcher. Not that you need to validate your reasons to me, unfortunately I don't use this feature myself so I don't think I can be very helpful about this. Hopefully someone else might be able to lend some advice.
Let me know if I was on target about your question on setting the 'buttons' up.

Input device below, default is #4:
The reason I asked is the only pie position that works is bottom center, at first the default right worked but once I changed it, I can't put it back and have it work.
I guess the button setup as you described isn't so bad.

Oh, gotcha. Gesture input is a different set of features in LMT and not invloved with the the operation of PIE. This allows you to set actions that will launch when you complete a gesture.
Much like PIE once you select one of these options it will take you to the list where you can select the action to be completed.
You don't need to set any of this up in order to use PIE, The default for all gestures is 'None'.

You were right, I am using pie all the time now. It really shines for multi task where you can switch from one app to another directly, without going through recent first. Thanks for the turn on!

LMT/PIE is really cool and I just wanted to drop in to let you guys know about an app that's very similar called Switchr
He recently implemented an "Arc" style that's just like PIE, and which one you choose to use is just preference IMO
Big difference is the "Live switching" just imagine using PIE but as you swipe over your overlay icons, the foreground app changes instantly vs PIE where you have to release your finger to trigger the switching
To clarify, By blacklisting an app in LMT/Pie you aren't saying don't show up in the choices of apps. You are telling pie controls to not work or appear when using certain apps. So if i didn't want it to appear in Internet so I can still use its pie controls, I could black list Internet.
I don't use the feature but some people do. I never use ISA or gestures. But have been using pie since beans in the s3. Had it in my note 3 a day after the first root exploit came out after launch. So Worth it

So I made a mod to enable the on screen soft key nav to cm 10.
Someone found out if you add this line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the build prop you will get on screen nav like the galaxy nexus.
well for ****s and giggles I tried adding this line to a samsung based rom (LG8) and it worked! I guess samsung did not disable this functionality. I was pretty sure I read this couldnt be done on a stock samsung rom

I use nova launcher
I also noticed that once you enable it a long press of the physical home button (or softkey button) now brings up search instead of recents/task manager
Also, Settings > Display > Touch key light duration : Always off
It would be nice to disable the hardware buttons. (Or swap them ... which would be my dream!)

open up Generic.kl in /system/usr/keylayout
put a hash tag in front of the lines
key 139 menu
key 158 back
so they will look like
#key 139 menu
#key 158 back
save and reboot.
To re enable just edit the file again and remove the comment (hash tag)
Using Phone Logs/Favourites/Camera is slightly hindered, the menu bar moves over the actual app screen. I'm wondering if the CM10 version does that?

Yeah, I just noticed the same thing. Some quirks in the UI because of it. And no, it doesnt do that on CM 10.

This is good, but half works.
Android system dies not recognize the lack of a menu button and therefore applications do not show the menu key (usually three dots) making many apps unusable

It's a TouchWiz problem. Doesn't happen in other launchers. Maybe someone with touchwiz/dev experience could make a mod...

it did for me. When I disabled both cap buttons and if there was an app that doesnt implement the new standard menu within the app, a menu button was placed on my NAV bar on the left..
I saw your reply in your thread about it half working when you map it to APP_Switch and that makes sense because the button is not disabled, just remapped so TW must still think there is a menu button but if you completely disable the cap buttons then the system does recognize there is no menu key
So you're half working comment in this thread doesnt apply. It does work if you completely disable both buttons not remap the menu button.

As for the UI querks someone will have to play around with it to see if they can get the overlapping stuff fixed. I'm using Nova launcher prime and I saw a weird glitch in the call log section where things didnt resize properly because of the menu key being placed at top

Yes yes!
Remmaping unfortunately won't work because ofwhat you said.
With disabled cap buttons and enabled on screen buttons, everything works well!
Just had to switch to Nova launcher.

Yeah it seems to jack up the formatting of the screens on TW apps. I reverted back for now but I'm sure it would look the same as yours. It doesnt seem like the TW apps resize themselves... but now I'm thinking.... hmmm I know an issue with lowering the lcd density will cause TW apps to get jacked up in a similar way, I wonder if they would look right if you lowered the lcd density while the soft keys are enabled. try lowering it to like 240 and see how the TW apps look I would try it now but I have to finish studying for an exam I have in a couple hours.
My camera is not working as well.
So as of now, we have touchwiz, call log, camera, are really buggy with this mod

ok, I tested lowering the DPI to 240 it did fix the call log and a couple other screens where there was overlapping, with the lower dpi the camera buttons you can use although dont look too pretty, and the dialer keypad being smaller due to the lower dpi is there. I will keep playing around with stuff tonight to see if I can get it to look right with the mod.

- connects to wifi faster now.
- turning on bluetooth, shows you a window for available bluetooth devices. bluetooth confirmed working both send/receive.
- settings > battery > click on graph to show history details > now includes gps alongside mobile network signal, wifi, awake,screen on and charging.

- pop-up player now resizable. clicking on it will now just pause the video and not return to full screen like it did.
- thanks trc
- CELL STANDY REPORTING BUG FINALLY FIXED. thanks bala high roller baby baby bay
minor bug:
- settings > date and time > when you uncheck 24 hour format the settings(gear) icon on notification bar moves to the right because A.M. or P.M. large font moves the icon to the right. They need to fix this, it's kinda annoying. for me only half of the gear is seen but still clickable. for many, they can't even see the gear because it's pushed to the right.
no such problem on landscape mode.
- GPS confirmed working.
Looking for Voice command for apps? like shoot for camera? answer or reject for calls?
it's not in settings > language anymore. it's in s-voice's settings now.
it is more accurate now, like in music player when you say "previous" sometimes it understands as "pause" kinda like hearing only the "vious" that sounds like "pause". it wasn't accurate with "volume down" back then, only "volume up". now it can distinguish clearly.
BTW, you don't to enable s-voice to be able to use those voice commands. you just need to enable them in s-voice's settings.
wondering what Disable HW overlays is in settings > developer options? description is Always use GPU for screen compositing.
this could help you understand.

your issue #3, i can relate because i had that issue right after i installed jb.
i was so excited after it succesfully installed that i went to exploring it right away.
wiping data on cwm solved that issue and i guess will do the same for the rest of those issues.
I think I may have figured out a reason why the software from LG can cause the G3 to lag from time to time.
Take a look at all the features they left "on" in their bloated settings app. You can only get to a few of these features by using a launcher like Nova or Apex and creating a shortcut to it using the "activity" link.
Here's an example :
On Nova/Apex go to add shortcut > activities > settings > isai
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What the hell is this? Isai motion? In the settings app it's checked "on". There's even an option to have a motion launch an app (similar to the camera on the Moto X, maybe?). I have no idea how to get this working, but the settings app has it checked.
Here's another :
Shortcut > activities > settings > Slide Aside
On the G2, slide aside was a weird memory hogging way of multitasking. I remember turning it off immediately on the G2 and getting improved performance. Guess what? It was checked "on" for me on the G3! But as far as I can tell, it's not even working.
Another :
Shortcut > activities > settings > Front Touch key light
Uh...pretty sure this was for the Optimus G and OG Pro - the G3 has on screen keys. Why is this even in the settings menu? Uncheck.
Final one :
Shortcut > activities > settings > Quickbutton
Nothing to check or uncheck here, but why is this in here? I think the Optimus G Pro had a quick button, why is this on the G3 settings app?
IN CONCLUSION :
My assumption is, just like with the G3 Home launcher and it's bloated hidden settings menu, LG has not actually "removed" features for different phones, they just take last year's software, no matter what phone, and add on top of it, then prevent the end user from adjusting those settings. How could they leave "slide aside" checked but not even give us an option in the settings menu to access it? Why would the settings menu even have a hidden option for quickbutton when the G3 has no quickbutton?
I would also assume, in some instances, it's easier and cheaper to program one set of software to install on multiple versions of the phone, that's why I can see there's MetroPCS and Verizon regulation info if you dig deep into the settings menu. But if a smart developer were to come along and strip all this crap out of the home launcher and the settings menu, my bet is you'd see a lot less lag because it'd probably take up less ram.
After turning some of the settings off my settings app is using 41mb of ram. We should compare to see who is using more or less and if it does in fact help with performance by turning some of these useless settings off.
EDIT : Here's some additional hidden menus. Maybe these options are present on some variations of the G3, but on the Tmobile G3 that I have they are not.
Strange... I think they are useless features but i hope they won't cause memory leaks...

Interesting. My settings shows 45MB total, but the com.android.settings app is using 36.
Do you know if using the stock AOSP settings app will turn off all those hidden settings?
Sent from my LG G3
Here's something else weird - if you dig around you find different versions of settings pages.
For example, my stock LED settings tab shows this :
But if you dig through the 6 or so LED shortcuts, you eventually find this :
This opens up a lot of questions for me. Why are there two separate LED settings menus? Why would they link to the menu with less options? If we dig more, will we find additional options that they limited from us to adjust the phone settings? I already also discovered the menu to make your own vibration pattern, and when you do, it will stick in the "normal" settings menu and let you use that custom vibration pattern. So why wasn't it included in the stock settings app?
So.. Did you turned those features off? If you did... Any improvement?

Not really. But I'm running ART with all the speed tweaks from the hidden dialer menu enabled plus I have no widgets or live wallpaper or anything. The G3 was already pretty quick for me before I discovered all this. I'd be curious to see the difference if the settings were turned off after a fresh install of the stock rom. The good thing about this is you could access these hidden menus without needing root.
What would really be great is if a dev managed to cook up a custom rom with all these hidden menus enabled in the stock settings app.
I'm just being greedy... Mine is blazing fast and no lags... But if I could free some more memory... Why not...
Switched a few of those bits off... Not noticed any difference yet but it's not worse!

Right. That's my feeling - it can only help. Plus if we all do more digging we might find actual useful hidden features. I know it's a small thing but I'm glad I was able to make my own vibration pattern.

I have the 851 and that custom vibration option was there in stock, as I had used it when I first got the G3 right out of the box.
Also, without Nova or APEX, no other way to access those "hidden" settings?

Well, you could just install Nova simply for that and then delete it when you're done. That's what I did.
I don't know of another way to access the hidden settings - maybe a dev on a custom rom will figure out a way to add it to the settings app.

16 Things You Can Do In Android Lollipop That You Couldn't Do In KitKat !
After what feels like a long time since we saw the L Preview first appear, Google is now rolling out the final version of Android 5.0 Lollipop to its existing Z series.
You get to know the best version of Android yet by working through this selection of tips and tricks,
covering all of the new features, major and minor, that are built into the operating system.
1. Tap and go
When you're setting up your new Lollipop device for the first time, you'll be presented with the option to "tap and go."
This NFC-and-Bluetooth-powered data transfer lets you move all
of your Google Account details, configuration settings, data and apps
over to a new device just by placing your old phone or tablet against it.
Widgets and wallpaper are swapped over as well.
2. Use the flashlight
Flashlight apps have always been popular on Android,
so Google has decided to roll one into Lollipop to save you the trouble of having download a third-party one.
Pull down the notification drawer then tap the top bar to
reveal the flashlight app alongside other options like airplane mode.
The app will only appear if your device has an LED flash alongside its camera.
3. Prioritize your apps
Android 5.0 Lollipop lets you set up a list of important apps that
are allowed to disturb you even when most aren't.
Head to Settings -> Sound & notification -> App notifications
and you can choose to block each app or mark it as a priority one. Tap the volume slider on your device to activate priority
mode indefinitely or for one hour (a circle with a stripe inside will appear in the status bar).
4. Deal with notifications from the lock screen
In Lollipop all of your app notifications appear on the lock screen ready
for viewing. Not only that, but you can interact with them as well.
Swipe to dismiss, tap to reply and so on,
depending on the app in question.
A double-tap gets you into the relevant app.
Head to Settings -> Sound & notification ->
When device is locked if you want to hide sensitive alerts.
5. Pin apps
If you want to hand over your device to one of your kids or a friend,
you can "pin" them inside one single app.
First, activate the feature via Settings -> Security -> Screen pinning.
Then, when you activate the multitasking screen via the
square Overview button, you'll see a pin icon
appear in the lower right-hand corner
of the bottom app (drag it up if you can't see it).
Holding down the Back and Overview buttons is enough to
exit the pinned mode and get back to other apps. When you activate the pin,
you'll be asked if you want to use a code or pattern to unlock it.
This is tied to the same protection applied to your device,
so if your lock screen isn't protected by a code or
pattern then the option won't appear when you're pinning apps.
6. Jump to app settings
The lock screen really has been given a major overhaul with
the Android 5.0 Lollipop update,
and the improvements include the ability to jump
straight to an app's settings or information panel right from
the lock screen. Long-press on
any notification and (depending on the app) you'll see a cog icon (the app settings shortcut)
and an info icon (the app notification settings shortcut).
7. Predict battery life
New to Android 5.0 Lollipop is the ability to see how much time is
left before the battery runs out of juice,
or how long you need to wait before your device is fully charged up.
Tap on the battery icon in the notification drawer to see either
reading (the time-until-charged information also appears on
the lock screen a few minutes after you've connected
your device to a power source).
8. Search settings and networks
Google's search bar is getting more ubiquitous with each
passing version of Android, and in Lollipop
it's made it into the Settings app.
Tap the magnifying glass icon to use it.
It can be a quick way of finding a particular option
you're looking for, especially if you don't already know what menu or
heading it's under. You can use the same feature
to bring up saved Wi-Fi networks too.
9. Enter Guest Mode
Sharing devices with other people
(friends, colleagues, family members, distracted children)
can be a real pain, but Lollipop's new Guest Mode eases it somewhat.
You can access Guest Mode by dragging down
the notification drawer, tapping on your user account avatar,
and then selecting Add guest from the menu
(or just Guest if you've been through the process before).
10. Improve text legibility
If you were wondering if the Accessibility
menu within Settings would get overlooked
in the Android 5.0 upgrade, there's a new experimental feature
here called High contrast text.
Essentially, it gives white or difficult-to-read
text a black outline when it's being viewed on a light background.
It's applied to the "OK Google"
text inside the home screen search bar, for example.
11. Chromecast more quickly
There's an official Chromecast app from Google that
lets you screencast from any device running
Android 4.4.2 or higher, but the functionality
is built right into Android 5.0, which is great
news for anyone with one of the compact streaming
dongles to hand. It's right in the notification
drawer—tap on the Cast screen icon to locate your Chromecast and begin screencasting.
12. Add trusted devices
A trusted device is a specified Bluetooth or
NFC-enabled gadget that will automatically
disable the security code or pattern on your your
Android phone or tablet when it's in range.
This means you don't have to fiddle around
unlocking the Lollipop device when you're at home
or in the car, for example.
Head to Settings -> Security -> Smart Lock to set up the feature.
13. Hang a 'do not disturb' sign
This works a little bit like the priority app notifications we
mentioned earlier, but it's based around times and
days more than apps.
Go to Settings -> Sound & notification -> Interruptions
to set it up—it's perhaps best used overnight when
you don't want to be disturbed, but there is the
option to let certain contacts through as well as messages and alarms, if necessary.
14. Get back to your apps after a reboot
If you reboot your device in any version of
Android before 5.0, all of your recently opened apps
will disappear. In Lollipop, they're still present
on the Overview screen,
so you can quickly get back to a previous conversation
or website if you need to (not all apps
will remember exactly where you were in the app).
To remove a card from the list, swipe it away to the left or right.
15. Play Google's Flappy Bird clone
Like earlier versions of Android, Lollipop has an
Easter egg to unlock. Go to Settings -> About phone
then tap quickly four times on the Android version entry.
Once the Lollipop graphic appears, tap quickly on it several
times then finish with a long press to launch a
clone of Flappy Bird with an Android robot in place
of the bird. It's just as frustrating to play as the original too.
16. Save the battery
Android 5.0 Lollipop includes a built-in battery saver mode
that you can get to kick in at 15 percent battery,
5 percent battery or never (you can also switch it on and off manually).
It cuts off some background syncing
and vibrations and makes various other tweaks as well.
If you select Battery from the Settings app you'll find
the battery saver on the menu behind the three vertical dots.

I prefer the stock Google Phone dialer over all others. I tried to install several different .APK from the website with all the Google Phone downloads. But none of them would install or work.
I've been running Google Dialer with LG G6 for a couple of weeks... here's what I did...
1. Install the APK from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-dialer-t3557412
2. After installation, go into Settings, General, Phone Management, Apps.
3. Click the three dots menu and select Configure Apps.
4. Select Phone App, and change that over to the Phone with the blue background (the alternative is LG's Contacts) and click OK.
5. Click on the Special Access at the bottom of that screen. Select Modify System Settings and find the Phone app. Grant it rights to modify system settings.
6. I like to explicitly grant the phone app permissions now, rather than waiting for it later. So I granted all permissions up-front. Back out to the Apps screen and find the Phone app. Click permissions and flip the slider to the right to enable all permissions.
7. Launch the phone app and sign-in to your google account.
You may want to swap out the phone on the lock-screen and launcher as well...

I have the APKMirror install of Google Dialer working just fine. Didn't run into the issue with dialer disappearing. However, I installed the Dialer from the XDA Forum that I referred to in a previous post.

I was able to swap out the phone by going to Settings, Display, Lock Screen, Shortcuts. From there tap on the phone icon (defaults to the far left) and an app list pops up. You need to select the "Phone" app with the blue icon - the green one is the LG-native phone app.
Thanks for the quick guide , it worked great. Finding it slightly sluggish for some reason though
The lock screen shortcut option only appears if you disable screen pin/fingerprint
Thanks, works great!
I am unable to change that default phone shortcut on the lockscreen no matter what I do.
I've always used Google Dialer v3.xxxx rc4 (forget the exact version but it's 3.something rc4), which is the latest version that is able to properly look up phone numbers of places by name on all my non-Nexus/Pixel devices

Hey Gewecht what colour is your in call back ground? I have a LG G6 I get a quick flash of the nice Google blue then it turns a not so nice Turquoise green.
I tried the work around in the Google Dialer main post but no luck as the G6 has no option to change the sim back ground colour. I'm guessing the only way is to disable the stock phone app which the option is greyed out!!
Cheers.

You go to the Settings app, go to Display settings, tap on App Scaling, find the app (it would be in 16:7.9 aspect ration) and tap it, and thusly make it a forced 18:9 aspect ratio. After this, your application should be formatted to support the LG G6's 18:9 display. Trust me, I had to do this with Lawnchair Launcher and a Pixel 2 Launcher (mod) in order to get it to all fit. I hope this helps you ??.
