I downloaded LG Dual Launch. it works fine but there is one big problem. I ONLY want dual launch icons on the second screen. since they launch 2 apps the only time they are useful is when I Have the second screen attached so I want those icons ON the second screen so I only see them..... WHEN the dual screen is attached
Problem is I can't seem to figure out how to do that. No matter what I do it creates the dual launch icon on the main screen and I can't figure out a way to move an "ICON" or "shortcut" to the second screen. I tried moving the dual launch program to the second screen but it still creates the shortcuts on the main screen not the second screen
Suggestions?
OK Update. it appears this is an OS LIMIT and not something the app has any control over !!! In reading review responces it seems he is going to attempt to do widgets which would solve the issue. Hopefully that will come soon.
Hey Nerys, dev of Dual Launch for LG here. I'm actually developing the widget function right now, so it shouldn't be long! Sorry about the wait!
cool. good to hear there is motion on it. I appreciate it!

Running themer on my stock G2. I really like it but have an issue when often upon waking up the phone, the icons are shifted down and off the screen a bit. This ususally corrects itself after a while. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Sorry for the links not working, apparently I haven't posted on the forums enough. Thanks.

Is the issue just with Icons or does it happen to the widgets as well?
Do the themes you use have the status bar locked in place, or is it hidden until you slide down to display it?
I have yet to see this on any of our test phones.

It happens with the status bar shown or auto hidden. I've attached a couple of more photos of similar issues using other themes. In the one with the white back ground, check out the clock hands. It seems that it may be related to wake up? After I unlock and my home screen appears, the home buttons kind of slide up from the bottom. You can actually see the screen sort of adjust after the home buttons slide up. Sorry again for the links not working directly from the message. The forum won't let me post links just yet since I haven't made enough posts.

Ahhhh... those shots were helpful, but you mentioning the fact that the bar slides up from the bottom is really interesting and may just be the cause of this issue. We unfortunately do not have a G2 in the office to test this on.
Here is what I am thinking. If I run my N5 with a Paranoid Android Rom, or any other that allows me to remove the software navigation keys and replace it with the ring navigation, the aspect of the screen;s drawable area changes as far as Themer is concerned. In essence it makes my N5 a GS4 or HTC1 to Themer.
What I think may be happening on your device is very similar. I believe when you unlock the phone the aspect ratio of the draw-able area on the screen, may be reporting back to themer as larger than it really is, then the software keys finally slide into place and Themer takes a few seconds to realize the it.
Ill bring this to the attention of our Devs and see what they think.

Just a little more information. I think what you describe happening is correct. I was playing around with "Blades" set as my theme. After I unlock (pattern) the home buttons slide up and you can sort of see the main background adjust to the new screen size. It just looks like the widget parts don't adjust. If I long press and then change the default home screen to 1 and apply, it reloads the theme and everything looks OK and everything is in place.
I also noticed, if I sleep the phone with an app open, like the browser, it wakes to that app. The home buttons still slide up upon waking but when I return to my homescreen everything looks to be in place.
I hope this helps you guys troubleshoot. Other than this small issue, I love themer! Thanks! Let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help you sort this out.
Same issue on LG 4x HD... i hope the devs solve this problem, cuz it's really great app, a way better than buzz launcher. Keep the good work guys. Issue seems to be like some incorrect columns vs. rows settings or maybe just the resolution 1280x720is not supported ?

For all of you still having issues with the LG device.
We have a work around for you.
This is NOT a fix from our end ... yet, but it will resolve the issue on your device.
The fix is pretty simple, you have two choice.
One, turn off your lockscreen on your device.
If this is not an option for you due to security concerns, then you can simply install an alternate lockscreen app from the market.
The LG lockscreen on these devices is the culprit, disabling/replacing it will fix this issue.
Hi! I love the look of several of the themes with this program, as well as the functionality. However, I can't seem to see any setting to change your primary screen (the screen that comes up when you wake your phone... you know, the slide-lock screen, etc.). Do the themes come with such screens? I would like for the wake up screen to look like my main desktop screen. Thanks!

Hi,
Lock-screen integration will arrive in the future! :laugh:
I have a Galaxy Note 3 and I have some problem where the lockscreen clock remains at some earlier period of time yet the system time changes! This had lead me to serious problems, as when I press the phone's home screen button to just see the time when I am sleepy I see some time which is actually not the updated time, which is extremely annoying. I have mentioned the problem in this topic, but there is actually no solution to that http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/one-lock-screen-clock-stuck-problem-t2975576
So I am looking for a third party app which could sort this problem out. I have tried a few third party lock screen apps as well, but didn't like any of them, Dodol, DIY etc., didn't like them, they set the wallpaper zoomed in and the wallpaper thus looks pretty bad! Is there a simple lock screen app where I can just set the time anywhere but in the middle of the screen and it will have custom wallpaper support (which will set the wallpaper properly, not zoomed in or anything)? That's all I need.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
I've been considering the LG V10 and wanted to hear from the XDA community on how useful the 2nd screen actually was. Is the second screen more than a novelty? What do you use yours for? What apps can utilize the 2nd screen? How often do you use the 2nd. screen and how does it effect battery life?Screen caps would be welcome.
It's a useful novelty, I wish they would have bumped up the front facing cameras and gave us the option to have a 5.9 inch screen. Useful for checking time w/out unlocking phone as we as being able to change songs w/out unlocking especially useful while driving
I really enjoy the lack of notification cards on the main screen. The past few phones I've had (Note 5, Nexus 6, S6 Edge) have all had the Lollipop style cards that block way too much of the screen. With this phone, the notifications just go to the secondary screen so you can keep focus on what you're doing but still be able to see it. Also, the music controls have been amazing so far and it makes it so much easier as you don't have to pull the shade or switch apps to change tracks or pause (Noticing a trend here lol?). And finally, I use it for having favorite contacts set up (similar to the only good concept of the edge IMO). Hope this helps, so far I love this phone!
I am loving the second screen and find it very useful.
For shortcuts I have tapatalk, chrome, maps, camera and settings.
I love that it also has the 5 most recent apps. I came from a note 2 and waiting for long press for the recent apps was a pain! Of course this phone has a button for that anyway but I still like having them just sitting up there.
I am also using the contact shortcuts to try to replace my direct dial and text shortcuts I had on my home screens. I'm still trying to get used to that.
I definitely like that the date and time is always showing so I can check without waking the phone.
I also recently discovered that if I swipe over to the left when the main screen is sleeping there are shortcuts for the camera, flashlight, Wi-Fi toggle and sound /vibrate toggle.
I love it.
So far I think I'm using the app shortcuts the most.

BTW guys, not exactly related to the secondary-screen alone but how is the "alt-tab" performance; toggling between recent apps?
Say you cycle between the 5 recent apps; do they pop-up just immediately without any delay and at the exact point where you have left the app? (i.e. a web page doesn't reload, Twitter doesn't refresh like you are opening the app for the first time).
So far I really like the second screen. I keep having an issue where my Hangouts keep showing up as the big banner across the screen (sms seems to show on the secondary though). I also with when the screen was off it would show the whole notification, not just the icon. It would also be nice to choose how long the notification stayed on the second screen. I feel like it pops up and goes away so fast.
I wish the quick contacts could be set as direct dial. I will never use on of those icons to text. I need quick to just dial the primary contacts I have.
Two words: Spotify controls.
Spotify's lock widget was awful, and it always frustrated me that I had to unlock the phone to restart a song. Now I don't even have to turn the lock screen on to do it. This alone made love the second screen.
I thought it might be gimmicky, but I like using it to switch between apps and the music control is nice.

Generally yes, the ram management is very good
I find it useful. Even if u don't plan in using it shouldn't be a bother.
App switching is better, faster since you don't have to flip through cards. I always preferred the old school Android where it just showed the app icons of previous apps
Google Now cards flash with basketball game scores without interrupting whatever I'm doing.
Same with calls. They show up on the second screen.
Hi guys, I just got a le max pro (x910) but there is no forum for it. Still, I believe it is running the same OS and EUI as Le max 2 (6.0.1 and EUI 5.6.x)
To my question: I hate lock screens so I disable them. If the fingerprint reader were better I'd seriously consider using it to unlock the phone, but it isn't.
My problem now is the "second" lock screen on this phone. Not sure if this is an andorid thing or an EUI thing, since I haven't used android 6.0+ before.
Essentially, I need my home screen to appears when I click the power button. Is that possible? Currently, the "lock screen" that appears after hitting power is a screen with time and camera icon. I don't need this. Can it be disabled SOMEHOW?
Thanks
Hello!
You can do exactly what you want with Lockscreen Disabler in Xposed. It will disable the lockscreen and when you press the power button, the home screen is shown.
As you may know already, you must have a custom recovery, be rooted and have Xposed installed. Then download the module and enjoy

Is this new in Android 6 or an issue with EUI? On my Sony Z ultra with android 5.1.1 disabling the lock screen is right there in the options.
I'm not sure whatever the problem might be. If you said that you need somehow to disable the lockscreen because you can't, I took it for good and I found a solution for you
I've tried to remove it without Xposed and looks like in Settings you don't have this option. Keep in mind that different OEM's do have various options of customization that might not be common.
Hello everyone, I´m new to this, but I just got an LE S3 last week at a really good price! (take into consideration that I live in Mexico) and found the same problem mentioned here, after lots of researching the web and tinkering with setting, antivirus and lock screen apps on play store and factory resetting phone, I got rid of the ``second lock screen´´ wich is very annoying to me, and not to mention all the ads that popped up every time I unlocked the phone, only for it to come back as soon as I connected my phone to charge it! Very Frustating!
And then I noticed, since I had changed the home and lock screen wallpapers to pictures of my family, I noticed three little white dots on the upper left corner of the screen, almost imperceptible, just like the ones on the web browser to deploy a menu!! I hitted it and a warning came up `` do you want to disable Locker?´´ I hitted Disable and that did it! Now I´m able to just go to my home screen with the Finger Print unlock or Pattern unlock.
It was hard to notice the three little dots since I had not changed my wallpapers, I was using the factory galaxy/nebula look alike wallpapers, which are very cool but have scattered white dots all over and tricked my perception of the Locker Icon.
Hopefully this can help some of you to turn off that annoying extra screen.
Cheers!!
