My battery seems to fly out the door, how do you close down some of the running applications? I don't want to download a 3rd party app just to be able to close browser or mediascape X_X
EDIT: Also, I am trying to delete some apps with Titanium backup, do yall recommend deleting Google talk, Play Now, User Guide and Use Support? And finally there is a toolbar that has 4 pictures (one with a dot and signals going up, one for blue tooth, one with a satellite dish letting off a signal and one that controls the phone, what do the 1st and 3rd ones control? I have no manual with this phone.
Edit Edit: (Lol) How do you set .mp3's for ringtone and notifications(and while we are at it custom wallpaper), and is there anyway to change the unlock process of the phone?
Really, thanks to anyone who answers even one of my 50 questions.

3rd party
On the beginning of the thread you said you didn't want a 3rd party app to close tasks. However you should use something like "advanced task killer". If you open the app you get a list of running apps and you can unselect the ones you want to remain running.
Then you get a 1 click widget that remembers that (un)selection, leaving those apps running and stopping everything else. Very useful.
BTW check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767849
The beauty of android is the amount of nice apps available!
EDIT: Just in case you don't read that thread through:
careful with LCD Density Changer you need ROOT with Superuser and busybox or your phone will brick
So better to stay away from that one.
Ya at the beginning I didn't want to use a 3rd party app to close tasks, it didn't make sense, now I can't get enough of ATK.
I have 2 new questions for everyone.
One how can I access the internal memory from my pc? And 2 how can I change the background color in menus like settings, messages etc. The blue background is super annoying.
I have a wallpaper that I REALLY want to use on my Vibrant. I just can't get it to center the way it needs to be. I use the weather widget clock, (Sense looking clock widget), and would like the prism to fit under the clock.
This picture was taken at Primrose Hill in London.
Any help or advice would be VERY GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm no pro but I'll see what i can do...
Take a screen shot of it on your phone with all your widgets so i'll know how it has to be adjusted. Then post that here.
Ok. But, my phone is not rooted. Can I still take a screenshot?
I'm not sure... I use a program called shootme and with that you have to be rooted. Dont know if there's something else out there that'll work.
Why aren't you rooted? It's sooooo easy to do and does so much.
Btw, can't you just highlight the picture and choose the part you want so that it fits to your needs? Just resize when choosing the wallpaper...

I almost always root my phones. But, I haven't really had any need to with this one. Can't think of anything I want that it doesn't already do. (Except screenshots I guess...haha).
No, that actually stretches it out bad. And, it makes the pyramid huge. I tried resizing, and it puts the pyramid right behind the clock.
If you have ADB working, you could enable USB debugging and use DDMS to take a screenshot.

I REALLY appreciate the help! The smudge work is good. But, the light entering the prism on the left is off a good bit. A would also like the prism itself a good bit smaller. I am not criticizing at all. I am thankful you went thru the trouble. Just not quite what I was trying to get accomplished.

Also, it would be really cool, (although I don't know if it is even possible), to still have the people at the bottom remain in the picture. It looks like they are paying homage to Floyd. Haha.

Maybe I'm just slow but I've noticed a few apps built into this phone that are hidden from the Sense launcher but not when I use the AOSP gingerbread launcher. I've seen Fb Chat, Quick lookup, car mode, mirror, and I'm sure there are others. Does anyone know why these can't be accessed from the Sense launcher? It seems really weird to me haha.
You can access some apps like mirror and car panel if you hit the bottom right search button from any screen and type "mirror", for example. You can then tap on the app there. I believe facebook chat is only available as a widget...
Is there a list of these hidden apps or apps not seen by sense?
I don't know... Good question. It would be great if someone can post them here. I wonder what other goodies they are hiding.

Just do a search in your phone for 'Chat' and you find Fb Chat.
Fb Chat comes up. Open it.
Winning.
The only other one that I saw not mentioned was "SIM Toolkit." When I tried to run it, a message popped up, stating that "SIM Toolkit is not ready."
I have noticed that in both ADWLauncher EX and Launcher Pro Plus, you can put a kinda cool camcorder icon on your home screen but it doesn't show in Sense.

Dude good call haha it worked for mirror too... Never even thought to try that. Now how the he'll do we make a shortcut lol

I'm still looking for the answer to this. I just hit search, type fb, and open it.
Then to go back into it, just pull down the notification bar, and tap it again when I need.
I don't even know how to make sure it stays in memory!
The Fb Chat widget put my phone into an infinite bootloop and I had to reset my phone. So I'm not using that thing again.
ya it would be nice to be able to use quick lookup and flashlight in my quicklaunch think on lockscreen
You can use the app Any Cut to make a shortcut. I've also read you can do it with a file explorer. I did it with Any Cut.

Hi there,
New to Themer, and liking the idea so far.
I have downloaded the theme Hills (screenshot attached). Love it because it's very simple.
To make it even more simple, I have removed the background, and am loving the idea of a simple lack screen with clean look.
I am hoping to be able to ask the developer to create another version similar to my other screenshot. It would be really handy to have unread email, text and calls, maybe in a neat box just like the time, or better still just a small black and white icon, that a number gets superimposed on, a bit like the stock samsung S2 can do.
Also, would love to have another three, customizable, icons on the seconds apps home screen. I like having an icon on homescreen to turn on a flashlight etc
If anyone can get me in touch with developer, or tell me how to modify this theme the way i'd like, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Steve

So there's no dedicated lg weather app, besides triggering it from the lg home screen widget (won't work with nova). This is clearly different from the g3 ports I ran on my now "old" g2 which had a weather app, and lockscreen animations worked. Is this why the lockscreen weather animations aren't working? Wtf Verizon, and what is that God awful messaging app Verizon added?!... One word.... "frozen!" - thank you ioroot!
I also tried making some nova shortcuts to the weather app (which appears in the list for activities), but it says the app is not installed....
Another oddity, where the hell did my weatherbug elite app go? It's gone from the playstore! Only the free, ad supported one is available to me....
Yep, your weatherbug, also can not find Flowly, ESPN sportscenter, apparently Verizon also wiped out the LG tasks app (although I see it in the app manager). Only weather animation or anything I've seen on the lock screen is when it's raining.
I also can not figure out how to get a message preview on my lock screen of a text rather than just "test".

yeah my lockscreen was covered with rain drops and i have espn sportscenter but i did restore all my apps from tibu
I noticed a few things missing, so I'm currently downloading a different rom and I'm going to see if I can pull those apks, add them to my Verizon G3, and get the proper weather animations along with a few other missing goodies. If someone could help compile a list of all missing features, that would help.
I know the weather animations are off, no stock browser, and no access to the Task app, but what else was there? (This will give me something to do at work today. :silly: )

Nice, I'm still plucking through, but I'll keep this thread posted with my findings. Much like the verizon g2 we also don't have the "hiddenmenu.apk", so no dialer codes will work. @xdabbeb came up with a great solution by pulling the apk from another varient, pushing it to system/app and firing of a terminal or adb code to execute it on the g2. I don't see any this wouldn't work here either.
Thanks for doing this. Is there a native flashlight app, or a way to set mms limit so pictures look better, or a way to see a text message preview on the lock screen (like the g2, had an option to read part of the message vs "New message" ) on the other g3 variants

Anyone notice the lack of wallpapers? And literally no live wallpaper! LG should have that out the box..I shouldn't have to go look for a live wallpaper or a nice wallpaper on day 1

I also noticed that if you set an Alarm, it doesn't show up on the Lockscreen. So if you want to check what time you set the alarm, there is no way to know unless you check the clock app. Talking about the weather info on Lockscreen, on the S3, after the JellyBean update, Samsung took away the Weather info from the Lockscreen. Why? I don't understand why Manufacturers are removing these simple and useful information.
That sucks, coming from a G Flex, probably the best stock weather animation out of the box, I am going to miss it. Granted I switched to Nova for awhile and lost the awesome weather widget, however still have the weather on the lockscreen.
Oh well, shouldn;'t even say I will miss it, as I will be currently rocking two phones. Flex for at home and LG G3 will be my work phone as I don't get service for crap in PA from Tmobile, my current provider. Great in the city, terrible in the boonies....still!
Should have my G3 Tomorrow, hopefully. Their CS is a joke compared to Tmobiles...also their online site!
I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to, but in your post title it says you lack lock screen weather. If you go into settings, under lock screen, you can set it to show widgets and add the widgets you want, which includes weather. From there, when you wake the device, the lock screen will show the weather widget on top.
I saw where you can check that box, I don't see any place you can actually add a widget though.
The lack of apps on Google Play is due to the screen resolution and size. When more developers start including it in their app development we will start to see more apps available from Google Play. You should be able to side-load them ok though. However there is no guarantee they will work.
You should have better luck from the more active/better developers .

If you prefer press and hold the lock screen, you can drag it down and it only displays lock. Once that's done, you can press and hold the clock and drag up to the trash. After that you can add the widget you want in it's place.
