LGG8X thin Q capture plus issues - LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion

So I updated to 12, (model number is LM-G850QM, Software version is G850QM40b) from 11, and now when I try to use capture plus for some reason it doesn't show the overlay after hitting the edit icon. Backing out of it throws a "discarded" toast popup. I think it might be something to do with drawing over app permissions? I looked into it I couldn't see anything there that was causing the issue. Some help in this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.

Also for some unknown reason I can't find wireless debug in the dev options

Another interesting find for the mad catz m.o.j.o

I found something new for the mad catz m.o.j.o messing around with an app called "hidden menus",it doesn't have a lot on there in terms of tweaks and menus to open per say,but interestingly is an option for lte ram dump on/off and it can be toggled on or off,has anyone got any idea what that is? For this click on testing,then on device information then scroll down to lte ram dum on/off to toggle,there are also battery temp and usage stating 8.0 celcius and up time on AC.Maybe there are other varied options there others can utilize or tinker with if any actualy do what they state they do?
Hopefully ram dump allows the dump of the firmware over adb or something like that,but i think lte is a data connection type or something to that effect?
I am not a developer so i will switch it off for now,but i would like to know any finds in this software can someone take a look please on my behalf provided they understand it,thanks in advance
Just found if you add test menu application and ex dialer app and you open test menu it gives a number to dial that brings up the test section found in hidden menus way quicker i added the address as a email address when asked in first run of test menu after install.

Cannot enable muiti-user in Andriod Lollipop on Lenovo Yoga 3 8"

The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 does not come with multi-user, so I've been trying to set it up so my family can actually share the tablet without kid-adult conflicts. I'm running Android 5.1.1
As suggested in a number of forums, I've rooted the device and modified build.prop to include:
fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=8
The two lines of code are in the build.prop file after rebooting the tablet and "pm get-max-users" in adb shell returns 8, so the two lines of code are in there. However, there is no multi-user icon either next to the settings on the lock screen or the swipe-down menu (next to settings icon, where I hoped it would be). So I cannot add or switch users.
I've tried manually adding users through the adb shell using "pm create-user [username]" with no luck...they may exist in the back-end somewhere, but as a tablet user I can't see them.
I've tried rebooting several times, removed screen lock, and eaten a bunch of chocolate but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be much appreciated!
same issue for S8-50 running 5.0.1. actually the profile section can be found in settings if search for 'profile' . from there the user can also be switched but that's about it - no ability to switch between users in lockscreen
I bought two tab3 10" 16GB for the kids for xmas, and they had a "Users" entry in the settings, but no user avatar in the quick settings.
It seemed pretty good, so I bought another of the 32 GB version for myself and my wife and that has neither. However, I was able to set up user accounts for us by searching for users in the settings menu, so it appears to be there. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow any sane way of switching users, since one has to be logged in as a user to do it... It cannot possibly be considered a good idea to do this, it has to be a bug...
I'd be very interested in a solution to this problem too.
any findings an that so far? How to "search for 'profile'" Am on tab 2 a8-50f, with mentioned changed in build.prop but no options in settings
It is actually as simple as kjekje suggests.
Open the settings tab. Instead of scrolling up and down and looking in every submenu for a "users" section like i did, just click the magnifying glass icon and search for "users". Seems like Lenovo have just hidden it from the menu.
Further broken in 6.0.1
I just upgraded the tablet to 6.0.1 yesterday, as it was pushed by the usual channels. Figured it couldn't make it any worse. It did
Now, if I search for users, I can switch to a restricted user, but I cannot switch back, because there's no option for it when I search for it in restricted mode.
So, I would still be very interested in a better solution to this problem? The only good solution is to be able to switch users when the screen is locked. Anybody found anything by further digging?
I don't know why on earth Lenovo is doing this to us. Perhaps they figure we will buy another tablet if there's no multiuser...? But it surely won't be a Lenovo, they ought to understand that.

2016 Honda Civic Trouble Unlocking Developer Mode

Hello everyone
This is my first time to the forum
I recently got the 2016 honda civic and it comes with android auto and carplay (for iphone). The car is great however I noticed that there is an "apps" section in the IMID display. There's options to install apk files on a USB drive, browser/search when connected to WI-FI, and a downloader app to view progress of downloads. I've tried having the apk files on a USB and was able to see the apk files, but the "install" button was grayed out so I couldn't install it. I looked on the web for tutorials on getting around it. Since the IMID is linux / android based - I managed to find the android settings window, select "about", scrolled down to "build #", and tapped it 7 times to try and enter the developer mode. I get the countdown till I enter developer mode, but after the last tap, it asks to enter a "passcord" which I think is a typo for "password"? and no keyboard appears to do any sort of typing for the password. I wanted to see if anyone got further than I did.
Tried a lot of things to see if there was a way to access the developer mode or by pass the car system to be able to install apps. I've read it's futile but just wanted to give it a shot.
Thank you for any help / advice!
(i've attached the info of the version that's in the car. need to remove a couple spaces in the link below)
https: //www .anony.ws/image/JgJ1
Found This
Hello,
I was digging in some more and found this under System>Legal Information>Open source licenses
When I selected "Open Source Licenses," it discusses the open source software and provides a link that I posted below.
(remove the spaces in the links below)
http ://www .embedded-carmultimedia.jp/linux/oss/download/H_ADA_163400_00001
(this is a picture of what I found)
https ://www .anony.ws/image/Jgbl
I have some software background but this is beyond what I can understand for Linux/android coding language.
Has anyone heard of updates?
This code appears to just be for the Bluetooth protocol stack, BlueZ. I don't think it would be useful. Is there any other downloads in that text?

Unfortunately, I've tried digging in more, but haven't found anything besides the open source download link. But thank you for taking a look into what is in the source code. :good: All I know was that it was in C/C++ which I do not have a lot of expertise in following.
We just need to figure out how to get passed the "enter passcord" issue :/ or other methods of cracking into the system. I greatly appreciate the help
Technically, it is supposed to be possible to unlock the radio and navigation system through this website :
https:// radio-navicode.honda.com/
Apparently, the code seems to be unique for each vehicles... Now I don't own a Honda, so I cannot verify it myself.
Enjoy!

Thanks, I got my code, but now, how to type it in? It doesn't provide a keyboard.
Btw, the device has about 2G disc space.
Nice! Thanks for the info =) . For the keyboard entry, first thing I would try would be either trying to pair the radio with a bluetooth keyboard or simply plugging a USB keyboard in the USB connector inside the car. Chances are, it might be able to load the proper drivers by default if Android was not too much modified. Still, a long shot. Otherwise, I am rather surprise that there are no software keyboard on the device...

The unit has a software keyboard (it pops up in different places, like the browser for ex), it just doesn't pop up in this case. I guess it is disabled on purpose. I don't have a bluetooth or USB keyboard. Will have to search one. Actually, I'm thinking there should be some hidden USB port somewhere because the ones exposed are very limited.
Apparently if you
[...]enter the diagnostic menu press the green power button, menu button, and brightness setting button at the same time. Diagnostic menu will pop up in about 2 seconds. If it does work take your finger off the buttons and try again. To enter the developers menu select detail information & setting then hold the menu button. To enter the hidden android settings select android settings in the developer menu.

Maybe there is more to be done this way...?
The radio seems to be able to provide a lot of information about the car (a CANBus connection?). Let me know if it gets you any further =) . But still, the USB keyboard seems to me like one the most promising ways of inputing the code you obtained at the moment...
The radio code is only for theft protection. Normally the head unit stores the VIN for its original car and will lock if it gets put in a car with a different/inaccessible VIN. The code lets you unlock the head unit then. You can actually view it in one of the diagnostic menus.
I can confirm that a USB keyboard plugged into either of the two USB ports does not work. I have found out a few things, though. If you open the browser and go into Google or something so the on-display keyboard appears, you can then plug in the USB keyboard and the on screen keyboard will glitch. It will not allow you to type on the USB one. This to me seems like the device is purposefully recognizing the USB, then blocking it from being used. It would make sense to be that there may be a third, hidden USB somewhere that allows much more access.
I also have a 2016 Civic and went through all same things.
On another note, has anyone figured out how to do the brake bypass, how to ground it? I used the web browser by tethering my phone and youtube videos loaded fine, but it won't work if the car is not parked. Anyone know how to have functionality while the car is in motion?

It's more complicated than that I'm sure. I'm pretty sure it's getting speed sensor information. Also in the hidden diagnostic menu there are two entries that are something like VIDEO Moving or something like that and it's value is 0 meaning that it's off.

If you turn the power off then quickly back on, the button is no longer grayed out and you can select it but even still, the install still fails later on.
You guys are a lot smarter than me. Maybe this will help out?

Help?: LG Google TV G3 - "Unfortunately, VideoInputSetup has stopped"

I have a 2013 model LG Google TV G3 55GA6450 that was recently gifted to me. Whenever I try to configure it to use the built-in tuner as my video source, I encounter "Unfortunately, VideoInputSetup has stopped"
According to this G+ thread, the error has to do with Google no longer supporting the local channel / programming lineup service thus causing the app to crash, and making the TV unusable as there is no other way to enable the TV Tuner input option without the app.
I have already tried force closing the 'VideoInputSetup' app, clearing its cache, etc. Also tried were a factory reset and using a custom launcher shortcut to launch the different functions of the app. Nothing has worked so far. I am willing, (with help) to extract the app and send it along to whoever and see if they can fix. Or to help any other steps / process to fix the issue.
Optionally, if someone might be willing to help me root and/or upgrade the device to newer Android TV, that would be awesome
I'm having same ANNOYING problem! This guy says he managed to root the TV but not sure if it will help. You need to go to the article since I can't post a url
forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lg-google-tv-rooted-t2811945
Any fix?
Anyone find a fix to this yet?

Negative. I was able to find a way to manually add channels to the tuner, but it is currently useless without a way to enable the tuner for Input selection.
Thanks! Could you share the manual process to add channels? Right now, I have a fancy wall paper, would at least like to watch the morning news. Thanks in advance!

This will only work if you already have the "Buil-In Tuner" option available under Inputs.
You will need an app to launch custom shortcuts, I am using QuickShortcuts. Some custom launchers can also do this.
In the shortcut app, find the Settings application under "Activities". Expand it and then scroll through the activities until you find "Manual Tuning" (com.android.settings/com.android.settings.lge.channel.ManualScanActivity) and select that and finish setting up the shortcut to it. Launch the shortcut and add the channels you want.
and is there anything that we can using inseed to do this manually? It is working but there is a bad pop up saying "no paired devices found" and I can't change channel.
Thanks
Awesome, it works! It's clunky, but I can see a few channels now. Really hope someone has a hack through a rooted approach.
Do you know if anyone are working to root the GA7900 or other GTV3?

I've tried decompiling the VideoInputSetup apk to see if I could manually change anything in the part that keeps crashing, but I wasn't able to recompile it afterwards.
And I've tried everything else I can think of as a work around for those like me with LG's that can't even see the manual tuner in the input options, but to no avail ?
Correct, the manual function for the tuner is not available. I am writing to LG every week to get this done. know it is a lost of time ...
Your inquiry has been submitted for review and we are waiting for feedback so we can communicate it with you as soon as possible. We will also be including the observation you have suggested to improve future LG products. We assure you that these are being reviewed by LG management periodically and being utilized as valuable inputs for consideration in our products and services innovations.
Sorry, I can't help much than that
After a few calls with LG support, and asking for escalation, I learned that a converter box is the workaround. I have coaxial from cable provider. The converter box should have an hdmi output. Any suggestions on which product/model works well?
After accidentally rescanning for channels, I've bricked my TV for the broadcast channels. I've tried to use Teamviewer, Remodroid, but I can't find proper instructions to connect remotely to possibly fix the problem. The exploiteers website seems promising (www exploitee.rs) but not much information for my LG GA6450...
Anyone with update root instructions or ways to get Manual Tuner to work.? I've tried the manual tuner method but no channels are showing up.
I ran into this same issue and had several frustrating calls with LG support that went nowhere. I was lucky enough to stumble on some other suggestions and found a workaround. While not perfect, I can actually use the TV again. I hope this helps others in a similar situation. Follow the steps below and do not deviate (trust me I got really close to bricking my TV figuring this out):
From settings navigate to "Applications".
Scroll over to "All" and then down to find "Live TV" and open it.
Click on "Disable".
Exit back to settings and then to "Channels" (you'll see the options are now enabled).
Auto scan for channels (or if you've already done this manually tune to a channel).
Exit back to settings and back to "Applications".
Scroll over to "All" and then down to find "Live TV" and open it.
Click on "Enable".
Turn the TV off and then back on. (You'll notice you can change the channel, but after android has finished restarting it won't let you any longer).
To get around that, use the gesture button and click on the channel bar at the top to enable to guide below. You can now scroll up and down through channels, find the one you want and open to watch.
Note - If you press the "Home" button, you will no longer be able to get back to live TV. You will have to repeat the steps (on step 5, you can just manually tune). It's extremely frustrating that LG won't release an updated firmware to simply re-enable the tuner and I'm very disappointed with the way they have handled this situation (as well as how they interact with faithful customers).

Help with Magic Info/Tizen app for TV Monitor Touch

I have a very simple problem that i need to resolve.
We have a magic info monitor installed at a point of sale, which is meant to display a website we developed solely for this monitor touch. However the website needs authentication to access it, and we need a way to keep the device logged in.
I was thinking that maybe a simple Tizen "App" could work that is installed on the Monitor and just needs to be opened. However I have no idea HOW to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas how to resolve this?
any support GREATLY appreciated.
