I have an LG G5. I'm wondering if someone would be willing to work with me remotely to find out how to root the device.
Wow, exciting! I am looking forward to some reviews. What are your thoughts so far? How is the battery life?

So far I love it. It feels great to hold, the screen is beautiful and the camera is phenomenal. The battery life has been okay so far. It lasts me around a day and I use it a lot.
Thank you G5root, I am excited to use this phone. One last question, how much RAM is free with all apps closed?

1.6 GB
Thanks again. Better than the S7, but still kind of high (2.4 used up by the system) in my opinion. Guess it doesn't matter as much if the phone is really fluid and runs smoothly while managing memory well. Seems to me the S7 has some stutters/hesitations that I have not experienced on my LG phones.
Good luck with the root, keep us updated.

Does the phone come with an app drawer out of the box or do you need enable EasyHome or a 3rd party launcher to get an app drawer? If you could answer this as soon as possible I would appreciate it. I have 3 days to return my other device and wait for this one, but if there is no app drawer out of the box, then I'm not getting it. Thanks @G5root

I don't think your troll tactics worked on him. I think the app drawer is a silly reason to pick one phone over the other since it is easily added back. Amoled vs LCD, removable battery vs nonremovable, front finger print reader vs back finger print reader, wireless charging vs non wireless charge, USB type C vs Mirco USB.... all these are good reasons to decide which phone to keep but not an app drawer. Enjoy your sammy device

Re-read all his comment, it was all sarcasm about the lack of app drawer. He has made it clear in other forums too that he hates that there is not an app drawer.... Not a big deal to me I just think out of all the things to hate about a phone that is just weird. Considering it could easily be added back in a future update or just like the last 2 LG phones I have owned... 3rd party launcher all the way.
Either way I'm excited to see it in person

Supposedly this will never be officially released to the public. It's for OEMs and the only way to get it will be to buy a phone that it comes preinstalled on.

Wow, SPB sure has gotten fancy. Looks nice, but complicated.
I disagree with that guy who said it would be an OEM thing, and that it will only come pre-installed on phones. SPB does most of it's sales to end-users.
That's actually the reason I never used SPB on my HTC Wing - it's payware, and I generally pass on that.

------------------
This does look quite sexy, it would be great if when it is released we could get it on our phones....at the least, just to toy around with it, even if it does end up being a little corny
Looks like it will be pretty good. Only thing that I don't like is the 3-d seems to be tacked on for a "look what we can do" factor and provides no added functionality.

I use and app called Screebl. It was free app of the day one day on the amazon app store. It uses the accelerometer when the screen is on to keep the screen on when it is held and an angle that you set it to. When the phone is laid flat face down or up the screen will go off after the amount of time you set but as long as your holding it at any other angle the screen will stay on. Here's the free version on the market

What I am hoping is that once ICS Sources are released for our phone and SG3 (if it is not out already), we can get a full ROM port.

I believe SG3 source was published this week, so we may see some of the framework-specific capabilities ported over soon.
