In case anyone here is new to the LG family, Verizon sees fit to remove the theme function of the phone. Not sure why exactly. The regular work around for the G3 also works for the G4.
Download LauncherPro from the Play Store
Add a widget to the home screen
Choose Activities
Scroll down to Home
Choose Theme option (LgThemeChooserActivity)

This is how I got the theme changer working without installing Launcher Pro.
Get the application "Any Shortcut" from play store
Open the application and enter the following details
Application : com.lge.launcher2
Activity : com.lge.launcher2.theme.LGThemeChooserActivity
Action: [Keep blank]
Intent : [Keep blank]
Then : create, your shortcut is done !
Now open the shortcut and your theme chooser application will fire up.
Download LG themes from LG Smart World application (not installed by default) and start applying themes.
To install Smart World, open the following link from phone and download the apk and install - http://us.lgworld.com/mobile/common...one.jsp?modelCd=VS986-US&assiFlag=N&tabFlag=N

You're good to go.
I had a LG G2 and didn't need a workaround since I could flash a themeable ROM.
Still I must be missing something because I couldn't find "activities" under Launcher Pro's/Widgets, or Shortcuts, or LauncherPro widgets. I even installed a theme from the play store, but can't find a way to apply it. I did find Home Theme - LG in the stock launcher/Widgets, and something similar in Nova Launcher. It doesn't do anything though. I couldn't find LGThemeChooserActivity anywhere. So what am I missing?
Just install the LauncherPro app from the market, long press on the home screen and it should be one of the first options.
Any luck getting the Themer app to download?
Ok, now I see. You are doing it from the stock launcher, and not LauncherPro. It force closes on mine.

I have themes installed, but where do I go to switch them? On the G3 it was in the display settings.
Here is the LG Smartworld app for those that cant access the LG site
It is a free app and ROOT not required
Installed on VS986 no problems

tap and hold on the home screen and pick the shortcut of the application if you are having samsung based rom, if on MIUI all the shortcuts are already on the home screen

This is a LGHome3.Apk with Theme enabled for Stock Rom Only... This is a ODEX version... So Anyone like me who has Pure Stock Rom with Just Root..You can use this and Apply themes. Most of the LG homes found here on XDA and online are Deodexed versions and I just wanted Odex version but with Theme enabled. I feel LG launcher is the best stock Launchers available out there with its customizations etc.
While doing some experiments.. Found out LGOG Lockscreen is based on AOSP Lockscreen. Just making one small change it give us AOSP Lock screen. (See Below Images Post 2). for Lock Screen follow the same steps as Home but from STEP 5 Replace anywhere it says LGHome3 to Lockscreen3 when following steps.
Click here to DOWNLOAD HOME
Click Here to Download AOSP Lock Screen for STOCK LGOG
Themes can be found in thread (Below Link) on Different pages. I did not try them all.. So don't blame me if something goes wrong on themes end.
I will be Adding more themes here.... Also you can create your own themes...
How To for LG Home: ALL THE BOLD STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT
1. You need to be rooted (No need of custom Recovery etc)
2. Need file Explorer Like ES File Explorer which has ROOT Explorer (Free on Market)
3. Install 3rd Party Launcher for Just in case scenarios... I installed Free Nova.. You can install any other launcher.
4. Make the 3rd Party Launcher as Default (Just till you get everything working)
5. Open ES explorer click Menu on Phone and Enable Root Explorer (It Should be ON in Blue) And Mount RW should be selected on System.
6. Dowload the File from this Thread (LGHome3.apk)
7. Go to System/App and Rename the Orginal LGHOme3.Apk to LGHome3.apk.Org and Paste the one you downloaded. (Remember.. Before you do this step, To make the Other Launcher you downloaded to make it Default)
8. Once you Paste the one from this forum.. Restart the phone.
From Settings Home try to Select the Home.. (LG) If it say Unfortunately Home as stopped or Something like that.. Go to Settings > Apps> All and Stop HOME Selector , Stop and Clear Cache for Home .. Then Try Again to Select Home.. You are Good to Go.
I put all the steps like ELI5 so that noobs can follow too. Still if you have any questions... Please feel free to Ask. If I don't answer on time, Someone else will with a good heart.
Sample Theme (Love), AOSP Lockscreen Pic's.
This is a sample theme And Lockscreen. Lock Screen has a gray bar below, Date and time are not visible on the lock screen b'cos of the wallpaper.

yes in stock 4.1.2 but its been modified by someone added russian language and supersu
I wonder if I might be able to pick your brain about how you created the AOSP lockscreen. I actually have the LG G2 and I was trying to figure how to get the AOSP lockscreen on a stock based rom because I don't really like the LG version. No one in our forums has done it that I'm aware of so I started poking around at other LG forums figuring that it might lead me the right direction. (I actually tried using the one you posted thinking maybe it would work but it seems it isn't compatible.) Anyway, then I thought you probably just pulled the lockscreen from an AOSP rom or from gapps but I couldn't seem to find the apk file. Did you create that lockscreen by modfying code in the LG apk? Maybe I can follow the same process for my phone... Any help would be awesome!

What does this module do?
This module allows you to change the default Google Play Music pane and tabs. For example, make the "My Library" screen the default and have it open to "Songs" instead of "Artists."
Originally requested here: http://www.reddit.com/r/xposed/comments/260ftg/request_google_play_music_open_to_my_library/
Reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/xposed/comments/26480m/release_google_play_music_listen_later/
Requirements:
Xposed Framework (XposedBridge.jar v54 or higher.)
Source code:
https://github.com/GermainZ/Google-Play-Music-Listen-Later
Download:

Feature Requests:
If they fall within the scope of this module (see first paragraph; basically: customize defaults,) requests are welcome. Other requests will be ignored if asked here, please use the appropriate thread for that.
Changelog:
1.2: Added option to automatically open a playlist when you enter the "Playlists" pane. This can be used to have Play Music open your preferred playlist on launch, by setting "Default Pane" to "Playlists" and "Default playlist" to your playlist's name (case sensitive).
1.1: Add options to select default tab for Instant Mixes, Radio and Explore panes.
1.0: Initial release.

No, that would belong in a theme (that could perhaps be used with one of the Xposed alternative theme engines) or maybe a separate module, but not in this module IMO.

My bad, I installed it and did not activate it yet. I had just figured that wasn't an option yet, was going to wait and after re-reading I feel stupid.
You might consider moving all the options to the main page. The "hide icon" feature doesn't really belong in the"about"page, and there's plenty of room for your credits there, too.
Brilliant!

A reboot isn't required, but this module changes the default pane/tabs, so you need to exit the Google Play Music app and open it again to see the changes.
If that doesn't help, please explain your problem in more details.

Everything i do in the module, there is always the startscreen "jetzt anhören" in gplay. Even after killimg the app and rebooting.
I'm having the same Problem, changes won't apply. I think it has something to do with updating your Rom. I flashed a newer Nightly yesterday and had to install Xposed Bridge again naturally (without changing anything regarding the Modules).
Maybe this messes something up.

I see no errors at all…
Let's try this:
1- Open Google Play Music Listen Later.
2- Select "My Library" in "Default Pane" and "Songs" in "Default My Library tab."
3- Open Google Play Music, take a screenshot without doing anything else and post that here.
Well, that did the Trick, i switched both to your suggested Settings and after Killing Play Music once it seems to stick. I definitely tried this before, but only changing the Default Pane.

I have Nova working on my PC. Here is a method that will not require root:
1 Install Nova Launcher from Play Store
2 Use command line (Alt-<left arrow>), you should get a black screen with the symbol # and your cursor position
a type: pm disable com.jide.filelauncher and press <ENTER> you should see a confirmation that it is disabled
b type: pm disable com.android.launcher3 and press <ENTER> you should see a confirmation that it is disabled
c type: pm disable com.google.android.launcher.layout.device and press <ENTER> you should see a confirmation that it is disabled
3. Press the Alt<left arrow> to go out of the command line
4 You will be prompted to select Nova Launcher. Be sure to tick the Always button first
5. Go to Settings/Applications and set Nova Launcher to Open in fullscreen mode
To use wallpapers you need to edit the build.prop to set ro.remixos.no_wallpaper to false (root needed)
Performance seems close to expected.
Updated 15/5/2016
Thanks to @HypoTurtle for the help.
So far no wallpaper support. Perhaps someone else has a method?
Edit: working. OP changed
Just putting together a thread to explain this and a few other things. But I noticed in another thread you posted a screenshot with a black background: to resolve that you need ro.remixos.no_wallpaper=false in build.prop
I would also check to make sure that you have nova setup as a full-screen app, that seems to have resolved my overlay error with Apex.

U da MAN! I just used SDMaid to change to full-screen and POW! Wallpaper working!
I tried slightly more complicated way:
Firstly I installed nova.
Then I opened up the terminal by alt + f1, which has a root access by default (no root support terminal that you can found in app drawer) and typed:
pm disable com.android.launcher3 (you should information that the app has been disabled.)
Then:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN ,you should get this -> Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN }
Then I closed the terminal by alt + f7 and chosen Nova as default.
Results: Computer froze and I wasn't able to boot remix back again, had to reinstall. (Just if you want to know, data partition stays where it is so you can re-install it easily)
Any other ideas what code can I use?
Live Wallpaper now working.
After changing desktop grid to 4 across and changing Live Wallpaper:
Scrolling works in app drawer:
Google widget can be seen on the desktop images above. Haven't tested all widgets, but so far they all work as expected.

Taskbar isn't part of the stock launcher, it's part of SystemUI/framework - so it is still there and usable when using a different launcher.

I set the taskbar to hide. Just right click on it and select hide. Then it only appears when your pointer is over it. If you look at the last screenshot you can see the taskbar.

Hey Guys, so basically this guide is going to cover the fact of getting more performance/battery life out of your S8+ by running a more stock Android Like Experience.... Whether your like myself and prefer stock android over ****ty touch wiz or just want your device less debated and to perform smoother than this is for you!
For Starters I would like to point out that you will need to buy 1 app which has a 5 day refund policy if you do not like it.... So the reason this works without root is because u can disable apps now if you have the Exynos models with the root you will not need this app....
I have disabled Basically all of the Stock Samsung Apps and replaced with the following Google Apps.... Now the keyboard is SwiftKey however you are welcome to use the Google keyboard if you prefer it better.... You should install these before you download the. Xml below.... Now you cant get Google dialer or Google contacts off the play store so u must download it off XDA... The Reason we use Google version of these apps vs Samsung's pre-installed ones is because Samsung's apps tend to use more ram and Googles app set it basically what stock Android uses.... Nova Launcher is also a very stock Android Like launcher that myself and others prefer to use on all of our Android devices...

Once you have each of those we can move onto the next step... You will now need to download the app I mentioned before that you have to pay for. You can download that here

and the PD Engine from here
HTML:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mlsplit.samsungservice&hl=en
For this app it will tell you do download something called PD Engine so download that.... Once you load up the app u will need to give it administrator privileges that way it can disable all the apps.... After this is completed and u are on the main screen u can download the XML listed below this post to your phone, and in the Package Disabler Pro App click the 3 dots in the top right corner then click on import from XML and select the file you just downloaded from here. Go back to your home screen and you should see all the Samsung Apps missing as well as Device Maintenance missing from settings.... Note that Face Recognition and Iris is disabled so if you want those turned on read below. You may bow restart your device and you should feel the phone running a lot smoother especially when running multiple apps.... This gives you more of a Google Stock Android Experience for those like myself that prefer it over all the ****ty Samsung bloat apps.... All the Google Apps you download earlier are your replacement for the Samsung apps that are now disabled... Bixby has also been disabled so that button with no longer work, if you want that on look up Bixby in package Disabler pro and uncheck all the boxes...
Turn On Face/Iris Scanner
In the Package Disabler app search for these and uncheck the boxes
Iris
com.sec.factory.iris.usercamera
com.samsung.android.server.iris
Face
com.samsung.faceservice
com.samsung.android.bio.face.service
If you want to use Google Camera or Open Camera
Make sure to Disable com.sec.android.app.camera and the addons for the stock camera app being
