Floating bar - LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Anyone found this yet? Just read a review that it is available, but doing a search in settings comes back with nothing. Is it there and named something else? I use this feature daily on my G8, so would be really sad if I have to use the work-around (screenshot, edit).

Well this article says the opposite.

Dang, I hate when reviewers can't get their stories straight. Oh well I guess. I'm having several issues with the V60. One was AA, but discovered that's "built in" to android 10. I don't like that at all. I'll get used to that I guess. But I'm having an impossible time finding the LG file manager! Like it's there in the app section in settings, but won't show up in searching the phone?!? I hate that files by Google, it isn't finding every file ony SD and how am I supposed to use it if it's not found?!? So confusing. Lol

It's under settings-storage. Has both SD and internal.

No, I'm talking about the actual app that should be in the app drawer. Where I can go and look at every file internal and external. On my G8, it's this. But on V60, I absolutely can not find the "app". When I am trying to restore backups from G8 to V60, it's not finding my backups because there isn't a physical app

Is this what you are looking for?

Yes! Where is it? I can see in the app section a files app, but nothing in the app drawer. And when I try to restore my backups, I get not found.

I already showed you. Follow the instructions from my first post. If you need further help let me know

Thank you for the help. I see where that is, but in restoring data, it doesn't find my backups. I long long ago bought ES File explorer when I was rooting my devices, I may have to go back to it or an alternative. This is very upsetting as I've stayed with LG for so long (since the G4, but I got a dud V30 so had to go samdung for a couple months til the G8 came). I've never had to use a different file explorer since stopping rooting. ?

I think I saw that one when I was searching for an ad-free file explorer. ES explorer is too bloated now to use. FX is ad supported right?

Es used to have some loose lips when it came to user data as I recall. I used to use them but stopped. Non root root Explorer works too. I fig file commander. Sony uses their app stock on their phones. 5 bucks to unlock lots of features as I recall.

On r/LGV60 there was a post about adding this back in yourself. Sends you to apkmirror. I installed it. The floating bar from apkmirror installed and works fine. However it's missing the app shortcut you are showing from you G8.
I'm wondering if the version on the G8 would work on the V60....

Reading the thread, what carrier are you on?
It's possible your carrier stripped out the floating bar and LG file manager.
You can get back the LG file manager from APK mirror.
Not sure if the floating bar APK would work since there is a bit more to it then just installing it.

I tried this floating bar, modeled after the V30 version.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thsoft.shortcut
Seemed to work ok. I didn't keep it because it didn't add much functionality due to my current setup.

If i'm using Astro, all I gotta do is copy the apk to the system folder & install then reboot??
Application fails to install.

You do not need to put the apk in the system folder you can just install it from any folder just like you are install an app from the market, no reboot necessary.

I havent tried this app yet, but Im guessing you would just reset the defaults for the program. settings>applications>manage applications>search and tap on the app>scroll down and tap on clear defaults
Has anyone noticed the little equalizer next to the song stays on as the song is playing even when I stop the song I just wonder if this is eating up anyones battery.Also if I do decide to keep this one how can I go about deleting the old one I know it's something pulling the apk from astro but where do I find it at I'm really new to all this sorry.
It foes not overwrite the stock music app so just uninstall.

[Q] weird settings in cam?

Attention Devs. Opened my camera settings and saw settings for blink detection, smile capture, and a bunch of other ones too. Tried to turn on blink detection, and got a force close:-( after that all the extra settings were gone. Anybody else seen this? Which dev can unlock these hidden powers first?
Cool find! I'd love to know more about this as well.

I'm on the stock ROM and I only see Face Detection in the settings.
Can you take a screenshot of this? A screenshot would really help everybody see where exactly the settings are located and how they are laid out. Thanks!!
Like i said after the force close they were gone.

I wasn't "**** talking", I was just making an observation that you copied a /system app from your phone without root. Something wasn't adding up, just wondering what it was. Maybe you had a device that was already rooted or maybe you rooted it and didn't know.

That's why I thought he had a GSM EVO 3D but now I see he is on Sprint.
not rooted.
it was not already rooted. I did not root without knowing it. this is not my first rodeo. if everyone is going to criticize my valid post, should I stop posting? no root. the settings were there if you wanna have a look I uploaded the camera apk from my non rooted stock Sprint EVO3D.
Itll be easy for you/us if you gave us ALL the details.
How did you pull that file without root?
Any odex camera file with it?
Did you install anything that might have did this/ accept an update? Software/Hatdware version? Etc.
You've been here a year, you should have an idea of how this all works.

been here a year downloading. just started getting into it more. I accepted the HTC software update when I first got the phone. I used astro to copy and paste camera and camera odex to SD card. tried to upload the odex file too but didn't seem to work. cannot copy to system and root checker says no root.

I tried downloading several it just says "Application not installed." I seen a flashable .zip file for the SGS III that has the Noteboox app.. but im afraid to use it, because the update script, binary is for the SGS (not sure if that makes a difference). I've learned not to flash things from other phones. Is it safe for me to flash it?

The permissions for it now is rw-rw-r--
should it be rwxrwxrwx? and/or any special permissions?
All of the other apps in /system/app are rw-r--r--, should it be that?

The apps would need to be modified. The apps call for resources in the stock framework n systemui. You'll have to transfer those resources to the apps them self n change any internal link to the new location of the resources. It's been done but it's allot of work.

Thank you for explaining this. I used the method I described to pull DSP Manager from one ROM and put it in another one. But this is obviously more complicated.
Edit... Mystery gave me an idea and it seems to have worked, pulled apk from gnex zip and installed it.
After tinkering for awhile using a terminal emulator, somehow I have the LG Notebook app. I've noticed a few bugs but all are really really minor. I'm trying to figure out how I did this but it worked somehow.

The differences are the AndroidManifest.XML files and the working apk has a file called libpolatispdfexplorer.so (Notebook.apk/lib/armeabi/libpolarispdfexplorer.so) I think that might be something necessary for it to work.

Stock browser

Is there any way someone could pull the stock browser.apk so I can side load it on my S5. The new s5 comes with chrome but I kinda like the S4 stock browser for certain things. I know there is at least one other member with an s5 that would like it too. I searched Google but couldn't find it.

Are you rooted? I haven't looked to see if there is root for the S5 yet... if so, you'd have to push it to system and change permissions to rw r r with a root explorer.

Yeah that's what I was thinking might work but there isn't root for the Verizon s5 yet. And I'm not sure if I could get away with rooting with Knox and being on the edge program. I don't think they would like the Knox counter marked when they get the phone back. I'll play with other Web browsers till I find one that suits my needs. Thanks for your help

My only problem with chrome is that it has problems with embedded youtube videos. Sometimes there isn't sound and other times the sound comes out of the ear speaker instead of the back. If it wasn't for that I would be happy with chrome

I edited the build prop and ended up soft bricking. Can I ask you what you used to edited it? I couldn't get Root explorer to do it so I pulled the build prop and edited it with Notepad++. I kind of like the list deal since I really don't want every app that I have available in multi-window.

Ugh, this is maddening! I do the same and absolutely nothing changes. You're rebooting immediately after tapping "Apply", right?
I wish someone would publicize the manual method of doing this. I really don't mind mucking around in filespace.

ROM Toolbox has a foolproof build.prop editor. Which is good, because I could screw it up easily.
