The LG smartworld store is always slow. That's just the way it is. I have several themes published on it (more on google play too) and for whatever reason it will always take forever to download a theme

Well I have about 20 or so on google play. Just search my name there. Same user name as here. My two newest are G Theme / G Theme dark and Aurora. Make sure you look at the v20 Version and not the g6 version. The v20 used ux5 which is what the v10 uses also I have a support thread in the v20 themes and apps section if you wanna check out some previews.

thanks man. I will try, but i am pretty sure ill go back to MM because of xposed
Google Play store says it's not compatible; I've tried various APKs and when I go to install they also say incompatible.
That sucks. What might be the cause? I know the S8 can install it.
I'm also having the same issue... The LG phone app is horrendous

This is the dialer I'm using...https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...-7-0-140861421-nonnexus-android-apk-download/
When you go to the link, scroll down to "Download APK". Don't install a newer version, because it probably won't work. Or if you do and it does work, let me know.
It's the stock Google dialer, and everything works. I've used it on several phones lately. When you install it, make sure and go to your settings menu, then apps, then Configure apps, and then set the new dialer to be your default phone app. Easy as pie

As per the notes on the thread, this older version is the only one that fully works on Non-Nexus devices. The newer patched versions may install but are often buggy and lack the necessary framework for spam call rejection and other features.
oh wow...i didn't realize the dialer required framework and such to use those features. kind of second guessing my ordering of the V30 now...
Perhaps this

Does your dialer have the voicemail tab? I'm on T-Mobile and have to use T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail app on my unlocked phone. I couldn't get the voicemail tab to show up and there was nothing in the settings that could activate it. I tried a SIM card pulling trick I saw on Reddit but that didn't do it either. Thanks!

I can check when I get home tonight. I’m using my iPhone right now. I’ll let you know later.
Edit...I'm home now and looking at my V30 with the Google dialer, and I don't see a voicemail tab anywhere.
How did you enable call screen or dialing screen to stock one? On my v30 only the dialer screen showsup and the calling screen is LG one.

You have to ensure that the Google Phone app is actually properly set as your default Dialer/Phone app. I had a similar problem until I did that. Under settings, go to apps and then click on "Configure apps" under the three dot overflow menu on the top right. Make sure the correct app is listed under "Phone app".

Been searching for days to find an apk that works on my LG V20, and this works perfectly - even location search.
Guys, Why the Sony Movies/Video app version 9.6.A.0.4 or any older version not working for our X model. It has features like Video minimise option and we can see every video thumbnails in single tab! Our X model has entirely different Video app. I don't want that app.
When i tried to install the above mentioned version app or any older one's the app closing even not opening for a second! Sometimes the app works when i cleared cache but the app seems to having a glitch and then it closes! Does anyone knows how to install that app without root?
I can use the app in my old Xperia ZR but it's not working in X!

I already tried disabling the stock video and video remote apps and then installed your app. Still doesn't worked!
Look for the problem on your device. Everything is OK for me.
Also, have you uninstalled the Movies/Video app itself before installing the mine one? They have different signatures, you know.
I cleared data and disabled stock video app and Installed your app but it's not installing. It says "App not installed". Mine was stock rom 8.0 with latest July Security patch!.
I once tried installing 9.6.A.0.4 and some below version at that time it installed but didn't opened for a second. But when i do cleared cache it worked for a little time and then the app had glitch and stopped working. I did this a month ago!

The deal is not in kernel, but in libs + Android version. Guess there is a way to make the new Video app work, but it'll require root.
Also, there is no good and lightweight alternative to Video/Movies app, sadly.
No need man. I installed the Video app from apkmirror. I don't understand why your app doesn't worked for me but i installed the same version app you gave me, from apkmirror and it worked! Thank you very much man. I never thought I can use this app in X dual!
I don't know what the problem is. But the thing is latest Video app from apkmirror do work but the app is having a glitch sometimes it closes saying "app closed". But when i deny app permission like calling and clearing cache, these tricks do working for little time! See the app glithc screenshot below! Ignore the yellow light i just activated night light app!
Okay now i am doomed now i don't have the video rotate feature within the app! What the hell is wrong with Sony?! Sony apps are not working on Sony smartphones?! Why? Why Sony Why?!?

They are uploaded by LG on APKMirror. And you install them all the same way. It's just that your Camera and Keyboard apps are going to be updates to pre-existing apps.

Can these wor on V35?
Nope just v40. Unless its ported
Hey. Almost every G7/V40 stock app is ported for older models. Does anyone have the stock LG Messaging app from G7 or V40?
Sorry the LG FM application is not working in my variant. Any way it can work??
My model is LM-V405EBW
Hi, I have the same model LM-V405EBW, there NO fm radio with latest update v10f.It seem they decide to remove it
FM Radio App Not working on Indian variant of LG v40. Any help??
Nothing installs on European variant LG v40.
how do I stop this? I am not even logged on Playstore and all these weird games like solitaire keeps installing on its own.
It's adware triggered by first setup of the stock ROM. I was surprised when I got a US998 that it had all this adware, which was never on my former H932. I guess LG trying to make a few bucks on their phones.
You can you uninstall them. They'll come back if you perform a Factory Reset, but otherwise they'll stay away.

I've never seen this and it's not on my wife's phone, my mother's phone, my sister's phone, my brother in law's phone, nor other friends.
What exactly are you seeing?
Now 30b -- U.S. Cellular Pie -- has games which I had trouble removing on my backup phone. But I've never seen any bloatware or adware on US998 Oreo KDZ. Unless you count social media stuff like Facebook.
It happened on both of the US998 (Frankensteined LS998) which I bought from YYwireless on eBay. Both came with Pie 30b. One I rolled back to Oreo 20h, and it happened again. I did a lot of Factory Reset / Master Reset on this phone trying to solve a modem issue after rolling back to Oreo, and these apps and games reinstall every time I go through first-time setup.
I cannot say why you don't get them. My first thought was it might be tied to the US Cellular 30b firmware, but again, I get it on 20h as well.
Edit: Oh, it's social media as well as games: Wish, Solitaire... at least a dozen apps, most are ones I never heard of. And they are NOT baked into the ROM, but rather downloaded and installed after first setup (thus easy to uninstall). These are in addition to the Facebook and Instagram apps baked into the ROM.

The social media apps, yes. The games, that's strange.
But I never did a clean install from 20h. On all the phones I mentioned, I either updated over the months with TWRP-flashable zip (mine) or through Upgrade mode with KDZ via Dev Patched LGUP (all my friends, family members). Many started with 20c or 20d and then I updated them as LG released KDZ.

I bet that's why: If you were to do a wipe and clean install on 20h, I imagine you would get them too. The only other explanation I can think of is that there are two different variants of 20h, one for US cellular and one pure LG. I forget if I downloaded from LG-Firmwares or from the mirrors in your your thread. But even on LG-Firmwares there is a dozen uploads of it, as I recall. Don't know if anyone eve bothered comparing them.
Edit: The MD5 of my 20h KZ matches the one from your AFH upload. I am downloading from LG-Firmwares now to see if there is a difference. The LG bridge link is broken, so can't check that one.

Also, on my wife's I actually started with Nougat. We both have genuine Open Market USS98. My mother also.
The other people have YYWIRELESS converted LS998. And they started with some early Oreo but were never Bootloader Unlocked.

I just finished downloading one of the 20h KDZs from LG-Firmwares, and it's the same MD5 as your AFH upload. Not a big surprise, I am sure you would have caught if there were two variants floating around.
So yes, I think anyone who does a clean install on 20h or newer will get this adware. My guess is that LG decided to leave the US998 to US Cellular at some point between 20b and 20h, and all new updates pass through them before being released -- and they are the ones inserting some adware to the ROM they get from LG.
I am curious, since you own some genuine Open Market US998s: Did you ever see an OTA offer of 20h? I assume not, since you were already rooted by then. But I am thinking that 20h may be just as much USC as 30b, and we're not going to get any "pure" LG Pie updates no matter how long we wait.

Thank you for replying. How do you fully remove this adware? The first app that mysteriously appeared is called Games(com.dti.folderlauncher) I disabled it in the settings then resorted to uninstalling it via Titanium backup. But the odd thing is that it still manages to install these random games and social media apps. At this point, I don't even know what's installing them all and I don't know what to disable. I mean what package even installed the Games(com.dti.folderlauncher) app in the first place? I have not logged to Google or LG even in the first place. It just installed by itself as soon as i connected to the internet.
I could also confirm that this Games(com.dti.folderlauncher) appears in 20e after my test awhile ago.

The ones I get are just plain apps being downloaded right after setup, even if I don't log in with an account. They're not from Play Store. I can uninstall them easily, either from the apps menu or from the launcher (Nova in my case).
I wonder if you're seeing something else than me: Anything you can Disable has to be a system app (baked into the ROM, still there ready to be enabled). But none of the ones I see are system apps: You uninstall them, and they're gone. That's why I am not overly concerned, just a slight nuisance.
I wish I could remember the exact names of them. If you list more app names, I can confirm if they're the same I saw.

Thank you! I remember seeing that and wondering what it was! What a nasty piece of crap, including its legitimate sounding name. Right out of the spammers playbook. Shame on LG for allowing this.
@noddledizzy: Yes, that's the list of apps. All of them can be uninstalled, then disable that Mobile Services Manager. I don't remember a Games app, but there is a Gaming system app, which is legit and unrelated to these -- although I have no idea what it does.

Thank you! @ChazzMatt @TheDannemand
would it be possible to update the stock oreo roms and remove this? according to @TheDannemand, every new owners of US996 who wish to stick with stock roms are bound to get this.

May I also ask how you figured this out? I am curious to know how you were able to track the culprit.

If you remove it, it would have to be as a TWRP flashable zip, only for rooted users. We cannot create updated KDZs, they're signed and encrypted.
I don't think it's that big a problem: It's only once after clean install, and you just uninstall the downloaded apps and disable Mobile Services Manager.

Most Android phones seem to have it but can be used in nefarious ways by carriers for bloatware. The article recommends you disable it immediately.
I checked and I already have this frozen in Titanium Backup for some reason. Who knows when I did that?

Yes, that's the one.
What's interesting here is that US998 was supposed to NOT be a carrier device, so one expects it to be free from crap like this. Which again leads me to believe that there hasn't been a "pure LG" US998 update since 20e. They're all US Cellular now.
Edit: I used to own a H932, which I am sure didn't have this. To confirm, I just checked my wife's H932 (all stock, not even rooted) and it's not on there. I don't think the article is correct that most Androids have this. Certainly not higher end phones.
