Ah, yes...you can customize that as well. There's 5 slots for any app you'd like to launch as well as no icons. Also able to change unlock animation for it. I'll post another quick video about that tomorrow as well

Nice vids. Thanks
The home screen icon "customization" is pretty disappointing. No support for icon packs? Lame. I wonder if Smart Bulletin will be worthwhile enough to keep me from switching to Nova like I always do.

Actually if themes add support for LG Home it will, only found 1 theme which does ;}
If only they included a way to make the on screen navigation buttons smaller. Guess we'll have to rely on eXposed.

Hey. I have always wondered, why is it not possible when having transparent navbar in the apps? Just look at LG G2, its transparent in the camera and on the homescreen, so why isnt it possible? Or is it to hard to code?

Ahaa yea i have also seen it in chrome browser with paranoid, but as you say not on purpuse, more a bug.. But i think maybe the people that are more intrested in these codes and things and more experience than me should look in G2s framework and see what the can find Its transparent in the camera as you can see on pictures.
Slimbean and Odyssey have it, that's why I stick to them...I love that feature. It's my alternative to pie, trans navbar and hidden and trans sbar. I'm on Odyssey now and love it just as much as I did illusion on 4.2, illusion was also based on slim. I've attached a pic of my home screen, to give you an idea.

I had that feature once, don't remember the Rom but when I enabled it, it made it somewhat harder to navigate because very often the background is white or a very light color. Another option is to change the height of your nav bar in settings, other than that try PIE.
Fwiw, I prefer the lack of transparency on the nav bar in apps.

Okey. Yea i guess that feature is not ment to be working.
I have carbon now, but it hasnt the PIE, so i guess i have to go with the regular bar.
The reason is because most apps do not draw behind the status bar. So even if it is transparent. It will still show as black because there is nothing behind it.
That is why for those with the transparent notification it only works on the launcher, lock screen & a few apps.
On previous phones I have had some modifications include stretching apps out so that they are behind the status bar resulting in a transparent bar always working however I'm not sure I've seen any such mod for the nexus 4

Okay, maybe not as dramatic as the thread title suggests, but this is regarding the possibility of transforming the menu screens of our G2s to black.
I'm sure I'm not the only one out there, but I'm a big fan of black menus on my gadgets and computer systems. Howevevr, we have no such luck with the default LG UI on our G2s. As we all know, the default LG UI is predominantly white. Things like the settings menu, gallery, pop up notification windows, etc are all in white.
We have a bunch of talented modders here who have done some amazing work on navbars and status bars and icons, so I'd just like to know the possibilities of including a feature to turn all the system UI menus to black instead of white. I know that AOSP ROMs like CM already have that feature, but I'm not quite ready to switch over yet, without sacrificing some of the LG-exclusive features.
Just throwing out a request on behalf of the black menu lovers out there, and have an awesome weekend everyone!

C'mon dudes, Breaking Bad and musical tastes aside, it would be nice if we can have dark menus. I'm sure they would fit in nicely in a lot of custom themes we have going in our phones, more so than the boring white ones.

And on topic: coming from the asylum I too want everything in black. Hadn't I lost the remote by doing so I had flashed cm with the black betterbean theme.
I'll dig in to the settings, contacts and phones apks and see how hard it'll be, and either put out a mod (for VZW deodexed users), or strictly for malladus.

Sweet. Malladus is pretty awesome so far, Blacked out would be even better, if for nothing else than the Settings and Phone/Contacts apps. I started digging around, it'll take me a bit. changed a bunch of styles in phone and contacts and all it got me was some nice looking black tabs. I didn't dig much further than that though tonight.

I'm sure it's going to be a pain in the a$$ just like it was for stock Droid X (GingerBlur). Even though in the end I did end up getting it all blacked out, I hated working on that thing for that exact reason. There's so many things to change, and in so many different places. Plus, back then I had a lot more motivation, and it helped that I had some collaboration with travp624, unkleduke, and kirbnite, but that was almost 3 years ago...lol
I hope you guys get it figured out; I wouldn't mind trying it out. I'd most likely just end up going back to CM10.2 since I like stock-like Android better than I do skinned Android, but that's just me. Once I got the Gnex, I just couldn't go back to skinned android

Please tell me you have something other than a toggle in the quick settings for "screen off/lock". i like not having to look at the screen, and just knowing where the status bar is to double tap. Although, i could survive with a long press option for the Recents button though.

It's not a toggle, I would be annoyed by that too...lol
It requires running a third party launcher though. I myself run Nova launcher. You can create a task with Tasker, or if you don't want to pay for Tasker, or don't already own it, you can use "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
Once you set either Tasker or Screen Off and Lock, you can set the action as a gesture in the Launcher. I have mine setup with a double tap anywhere on the screen to "knock off"; It works really well.

Bad part is, that only works when you are on the launcher. I own Nova prime (or whatever the premium version is), and Tasker as well, but right now I'm completely hooked on Aviate. Eventually CM will port/create "double tap statusbar to turn screen off/lock". They already have knock on, which you would think would be the hardest one, ensuring that there is a listener when the screen is off and such.
Has the Z2 ditched the ''Blinds Effect'' Lockscreen from the Z/Z1 completely on the Z2? or is the option still there to use it? I thought it was one of the nicer lockscreen's about, shame if they have ditched it.
Ditched completely. There is a "glitter" effect now like in Playstation, and that's the only available option.

I am coming from Galaxy S series, so just a short question.
Does the lockscreen also have the transparent status bar in Android 4.4.2, as in the home screen?
I have only seen pics of 4.3 lockscreen.

I know there are some people afraid of flashing 5.0 for now for reasons like losing unlock or root, but I don't need that so I flashed 5.0.
Here is a video I made. Quick look of the 5.0 interface.
UI is very fast and stable. No force closes so far. I think battery life is better but I tested it only for 1 day.
I also wanted to show you Battery Saver which has been through big change (good change IMO), but I couldn't since phone was plugged in.
I accidentally forgot to show you Recents and lockscreen, dont get mad please :angel:
Thanks for sharing but i have to be honest here

The reason that nobody (including me) show anything else than this is because everything remained the same. There is no point in showing you what you already got on 4.4 roms. Isnt it? Icons at homescreen and month calendar widget are apps from Play Store. All LG's apps mostly remained the same.
There isnt much new magic in Lollipop dude just some visual changes and of course
ART
New Recents
New Notification Bar
Lockscreen Notifications
Really cool animations
I think the best 5.0 changes are the 2000 new APIs we will see some magic in the future you will see bro
Android just got even more awesome with Lollipop
I have a G3 too and I wanted to know if i flash this "test build" can I still get the automatic update from LG when the official will come out ? thanks

What are some of the best new features for Nougat? I went through all the settings and didn't find too much new stuff.
I really like the performance mode option, the new System UI, and Device Maintenance in general
i missed double tapping recents to quick switch to last app from when I had the V20. Now its feels nice. Plus seeing 3rd party notification icons at the always-on-display.
Like increased resolution, maintenance stuff, ability to force all apps into multi view (developer options)
Like scrolling screenshots too

Tap once on the text of the icon, not on the icon itself.
I LOVE marking a message as read from the notification. Smaller toggles are nice too.

If you take a screenshot while in 1080p mode then zoom in the difference is noticeable. But only if you zoom in. But I've tried using 1080p resolution for several days and saw no battery life increase so I just stick with 2k.
The fact I almost have my note 7 back
Thanks for the replies about screen resolution. I didn't notice any battery or speed difference either, that's why I asked.
