[PORTED] LG G4 Apps now available for LG G3!

The newly release LG's flagship, the G4, hasn't even shown up to the public and boom, already got a few apps ported for its older brother, G3. The camera, gallery, contacts, launcher, calendar, voice recorder, alarm clock and some more are all available for installing on your G3!

Since the system dumb has been pushed, the LastStandingDroid@XDA decided to port a few apps for the older generation, the G3.
In the result he ported a fine amount of apps, including the well-known and brand new camera, known especially for its manual mode, that is partially working on the G3, and shooting pictures in RAW format.



Here's a screenshot (credit goes to LastStandingDroid) of the new Launcher (which hasn't changed much) and the new Music app.

But the biggest tease would probably be the new camera, as it's driven a lot of attention lately.
This is a quick video showing the G4 camera running on G3. Alrough I got it working on my G3, I've experienced some FCs and there are definitely some problems.

But for those who can't wait, go ahead! Your device has to be rooted. The apps are made for Lollipop versions.

Firstly, download the ZIP. Extract it on your PC (or directly on your Android device), you should get an APK file along with a "lib" folder.

Navigate to /system/priv-app (or something like, don't quite remember the exact name), open the LGCamera folder (again, something like that :p) and backup the files there (you can backup the camera easily by changing the type from .APK to .BAK

Now simply put the new camera APK to the folder and change the permissions to rw-r-r.

Next, the folder part. Do the same thing with the folder, delete all the files except libDNVBeautyFace_JNI.so, keep this one. Then move all the files from the new folder and finally change the permissions of the folder, if needed (to rwxr-xr-x).

You should get the similar look to this (just with another Camera icon, since this is the old version).

Done? Reboot! Have fun.

Though this is quite a problematic app, there are some that work seamlessly.

• LgMusic
• LGIMe
• LGFileManager
• LGHome
• LGMusicWidget

These should be working just fine and you shouldn't have or find any bugs.

How to enable LG's Quick Remote on custom AOSP-based ROMs?

Devices like LG G2 and G3 are equipped with an IR blaster which is very useful for controlling devices such TVs, projectors, radios, set-top boxes or even air conditioners. Unfortunately, the IR blaster and the QuickRemote app itself worked on the stock ROM (and custom ROMs based on this stock version, such as CandyG3) and if you wanted to flash an AOSP-based ROM, you had to live with the fact that the QuickRemote will not work. Well, not anymore.

The "guys from the XDA", exactly sefnap, RieGo and zzeneg have ported the QuickRemote app for LG G2 and G3 and made it working on all AOSP based ROMs.

The default SELinux policy for android was changed to enforcing mode in Lollipop to increase security. This restricts the functionality of some apps, so for QuickRemote to work we have to change the SELinux policy back to permissive mode until we have a better solution.

Instructions? Classic; just flasth the ZIP. Don't forget to make a backup, or at least download the uninstall version zip (that will remove the mod once flashed).

First make sure the init.d support is enabled, you can use this app.

• Download the ZIPs on XDA

NO ROOT - Disable "Knock Knock" on your LG device and get more battery life!

I was playing with my G3 and discovered a way to disable the Knock Knock feature which helps the user enable the screen without even touching hardware buttons just by double tapping the screen.
I don't use this feature very often, so I decided to disable it. Guess what, my battery life is now more amazing than ever before!

No, you don't need to be rooted to disable the Knock Knock feature. It's pretty easy. All you need to do is to access the hidden menu on your LG device and simply disable it.

To open up the hidden menu, open your Dialer app all input this number (according to your carrier/version):

• 3845#*855# (for International model)
• 3845#*851# (for T-Mobile)
• 3845#*850# (fot AT&T)

While you type the last digit, the hidden menu will appear. What's next? Scroll down till you see the Knock On/off setting and just disable the function. And viola, here you have it!

I was really surprised when I got 70% with my full day of usage on LTE. I usually end my day at about 50% so it seems to pump up the battery life a bit.

Enjoy!

NO ROOT - How to remove UI lags on LG G3

LG's flagship, the G3, is really a stunning phone. Many people know this device mostly because of its shocking 2K display and with extreme high dpi but there are a few glitches because of this. This 2K display is really hard to handle and the powerful Snapdragon CPU clocked at 2.5Ghz may heat up a bit when playing some high-end 3D games, for example. And this is the main reason of UI lags you've probably experienced when you got the phone.

The lags are no big, just tiny little hiccups when the phone gets overheated. And why's that?

Well, the main cause of this is High temperature property and Thermal daemon mitigation.

What these two function do, is that they pump fown the FPS a touch to protect the phone from overheating and cool it down. It's not a bad idea but sometimes it may get a bit annoying when the power is really needed.

If you're a G3 user but don't have your phone rooted, nevermind! This time root access will not be needed.

1. Access hidden menu on your G3.

To open hidden menu, open the dialer app input one of these numbers (that matches your carrier).

After you type the last digit, hidden menu will open on its own. If you're using Verizon carrier, you'll have to call the number.

3845#*855# (for International model)

3845#*851# (for T-Mobile)

3845#*850# (fot AT&T)

##228378 - Verizon

After you successfully opened the hidden menu, scroll down till you see High Temperature Property OFF and turn it ON. Enabling this will disable the high temperature property.

We're not done yet, scroll down a bit more till you see Daemon Mitigation OFF and again, enable it to turn this function off.

Now, reboot your G3. You're done.

Warning:

Disabling these function will no longer turn the brightness down when the device gets overheated so beware when streaming or doing stuff with high brightness.

Have fun!
