It actually does have an led. It's hidden behind the speaker and only comes on when the battery is completely dead. I've seen it once. It's green.

Top 5
- Google Camera (Because Moto Camera Sucks!)
- Pocket (Best article reader/ Offline reader)
- Soundcloud (Well.. Duh!)
- Pushbullet ( Best Utility App, ever! Period.)
- Dropbox/Box (Cuz 16 GB aint enough man!)
In alphabetical order:
1. Car Home Ultra
2. Chromecast
4. Nova Launcher Prime
3. Torque Pro
4. Trigger
Once I bought NFC tags and setup profiles, I can't imagine not having NFC. Also, Torque pro + an OBD2 sensor are a must have for any car lovers.
Pushbullet
BaconReader (yay reddit!)
Month (awesome calendar app/widget thingy)
PowerAmp (for audio) & MX Player Pro (for video)
SwiftKey (still love it more than the stock keyboard)
Okay, that's already six. And I have some more still...

Ok, here is a pet project I've been working on, search didn't yield that anyone else had posted something similar.
Basically it adds another button on the Hybrid properties launch section, where you would see the different ui buttons, that contains color presets for more apps.
Includes:
Xda app (regular, pro, and tab) (dark theme)
Instagram
Netflix
Gmail
Flipboard
Ingress
Stock clock
Dropbox
Alarm Clock Xtreme
Evernote
MyScript Calculator

If you have more color presets, feel free to post them and I'll add them in if they look right.
Flashable zip version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nxbq57khasraqxx/Z_colors-2013-05-21.zip
Manual version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oadn3izkqz1k805/Z_colors-2013-05-21.xml
For the manual version, copy the Xml to /system/etc/paranoid/preferences/
Set perm to rw-r--r--
Undo options
There is no one click method to get rid of the applied Zcolors without removing any other modifications you have made in the hybrid properties, this is a limitation of the Hybrid Engine. There are three ways I can think of off of the top of my head to revert these colors:
1. Go to Settings > Hybrid Properties > Apps, then click on the app you want to revert to stock, then click the reset icon (circle arrow with a dot in the middle). Repeat for each app.
OR
2. Using a file explorer, go to /system/etc/paranoid/ and open properties.conf. under ##SYSTEM PREFERENCES you will see a bunch of entries like "com.facebook.katana.colors="FFCBD2DF|B2FFFFFF|FFF FFFFF|FF5975B0|FFFFFFFF". Delete the lines for the apps you don't want the coloring on.
OR
3. Go to Settings > Hybrid Properties > Tools > Reset Properties. This will get rid of all Zcolors and any other modifications you have made to per app colors/dpi. If that doesn't bother you, then this will be the quickest easiest route.
Also, If after doing that, you want the Zcolor option to go away, you can go to /system/etc/paranoid/preferences/ and delete Z_Colors.xml. All my flashable file does is drop that XML in the right folder and set permissions correctly for it.

Do you have the one dated 2013-02-21, or -22?
The first one didn't set permissions correctly.
I just reflashed the -22 on a clean install, and it worked fine.
Let me know if you're having issues still.

The PA Hybrid color applier only shows the color configs for the apps you currently have installed.
It does apply all of the color changes to the properties.conf file though, so if you apply this and then install the app later, the coloring should still work.
appearently this is in the playstore ( the updated version) unfortunally can´t find it anymore. Anyone got a link?

What are you looking for?
If it's the ZColors, this is the most updated version, none of my work is in the playstore.
I can always add to it if you have requests, or fix it if something is broken.

My apologies, I confused it with something else. Thank you for your contribution, it´s much appreciated!
I noticed that when I for example open a (gmail)app where the top and bottem bar become white and I leave it for idle so it goes to the lock screen the bars remain white until I unlock the screen and close the app. Is this considered to be a bug? Could it be PA related?
I installed Z colors through the recovery menu, however I´m unable to revert back to the default stock colors. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463398

Does the new google now have voice activation?
I guess I should ask also - does it work without errors?
Edit: installed and it works fine No voice controls though automatically like the moto x.
Thanks Hamdogg.
Gallery didn't want to install, and I dont like the size of the icons in launcher - and cant be bothered to set up my home screen again (just switched from PA to Carbon...)

So I have pretty much tried all apps that have iPhone x Gesture feature form play store like:
- All in one Gestures (It's good,but accidentally touch is annoying)
- T Swipe Gestures ( if you want full feature, then have to pay. .... but not so good)
- X home bar ( not good for me)
- Xposed edge ( Its really good but you need Xposed.... but you will lose SafetyNet form Magisk )
- Iphone X Gestures ( its ok, but need some fix)
- Gesture Bar - 제스처 바 (BEST ONE SO FAR .. but you need to pay extra for more feature) :silly:
How to remove nav bar you can use "nav bar remover overlay" but it never worked for me :fingers-crossed:
Alternative way to remove nav bar is by editing build-prop .. ROOT - SYSTEM - BUILD.PROP which you can do by adding this line at the bottom of the page inside build.prop ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 ) .However, you will lose the ability of 3D home/ Force touch, but :highfive: it will work on always on display screen.
Conclusion - try out all of them but personally I recommend "Gesture Bar - 제스처 바" Good luck and enjoy :good:
Best gestures app in my opinion are floatingmenu in play store and swipe navigation also in play store. I have used all of the ones you mention and trust me floating menu gives you way more options. Paid of course. And navbar remover works fine for me. TMobile variant
Lol crapple and it's gestures now what's next. Fix that notch in the screen first please.
Anyhow here's something y'all can look into. Most recent beta is below check it out. here. Try it see if it works for you guys.
Enjoy.

Ever wish that LG had given the V10/V20 more widgets in the second screen? Well, wish no more! BoredSigns adds many more widgets to your SignBoard (get it? SignBoard --> BoredSigns?), ones you may need and ones you may not.
The best part about BoredSigns? It doesn't need root! That's right; you can get some brand new widgets on your completely Stock V10 or V20. In the future, ADB may be necessary for certain widgets, but right now, you don't need your computer at all.
Current widgets:
— Information
— Weather
— Image
— Navigation Bar
This app is open source! If you aren't willing to pay $0.99 to buy it, feel free to build it for yourself. I only ask that it not be re-distributed without substantial modifications (i.e. more than changing the theme and name).
GitHub: https://github.com/zacharee/BoredSigns
Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/105544332208886942595
Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to suggest a new widget!
Package name is com.zacharee1.boredsigns
I already have it and its working flawlesly ?

I bought it in the play store (I want to support any development for the 2nd screen).
I have to thank you just for the simple fact that at first, I didn't know how to run it... so I went into the 2nd screen options. I had no idea that I had other widgets that I could run. I never thought to tap the "..." on "Show when main screen on" so I have been stuck with the basic options this whole time. Worth my $1.05 right there.
So, after using it for a few minutes, I noticed the persistent notification for BoredSigns, so I long-pressed it and turned off all notifications. Will this negatively affect the operation of the app? I did notice that when I swiped my notification shade down, or when switching between widgets, the 2nd screen options would come on, so I restarted the phone. It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore, but I did have to toggle weather on and off a few times to get a real location and not 100*F in Philadelphia.
Bonus question... where can I find out more about the "yet unreleased AOSP implementation of the 2nd screen?"
Found the perfect image for the second screen a mod one of the best football team in the world...perfect fit and color !
Happy user here....thank you again for this :highfive:
So someone suggested I do a navigation bar widget. After lots of Java reflection (the actual tool, not thinking about my life with Java), I went with a simple Accessibility Service.
Because of that, these functions will be available:
- Back
- Home
- Recents
- Split Screen
- Power
- QS Pulldown
- Notification Pulldown
If there are any other (simple) buttons you might want, suggest them. I'll add them in if I can.
Here's what it looks like right now:
Sadly Samsung have removed the led notification light from their newer Galaxy phones, any recommendations for a good led notification light software.
Thanks
