I read a review for the phone yesterday and feel in love with the look of the home screen. So today I got curious and downloaded the home launcher from a system dump and am happy to report it works on our device. I noticed the icons did really change and literally just did this about an hour ago so I haven't been able to play with it too much but it does work. Also I noticed some widgets have to be resized as the grid changes them to a 3 inch state but resizing works

yes its the stock LG G3 launcher. it works on the G2 and our phone and other lg phones. the weather widget you have to get through Zooper Pro. the real weather widget wont work on the g2 or our phones. i still have nova prime but use this until i get tired of it.

how do you resize the widgets . I have tried and only can resize my beautiful widgets clock to 5x2 pandora and google now wont give me the option to resize.


EDIT : I long press and the drag the corners option does not show up on the widget?

It worked for the beautiful widget clock and the google play music widget nothing else.

And the keyboard screenshot in black and white .

I don't get it, I am obviously doing something wrong. I downloaded and installed the LG g3 keyboard apk a month or so ago, it looked exactly like my LG Volt keyboard with an exception, the number row(on top), the pics, and YouTube video that I've seen showed this top row and this is what I wanted, unfortunately no matter how many times I installed LG g3, no matter how many times I rebooted, no matter how many times I went to settings and chose my input method(LG Keyboard), I always end up with the exact same keyboard, which looks exactly like the LG g3 keyboard except that it does not have number row on top. maybe I'm hallucinating, but I do not see a difference between the two keyboards other than that number row. doesn't matter anyway because I obviously can't seem to get the #### thing.

I installed it because the predictive text is better . it has a sizeable keyboard area option as well. Looks just like the stock one on here to me as well. I dont see the number row either

I personally believe it is the same other than the number row on top,... If you watch YouTube videos on the LG g3 upgrade, you will see at least two of them that have the number rows on top, I know this because I commented and ask questions to two of the video hosts, and they told me specifically where that was at, I looked and it wasn't, but was freaking identical in every other way,,,...I am convinced that the keyboard that comes with the LG voltis exactly the same as the LG g3 except it doesn't have the number 0 on top, if your LG g3 apk download / install does not have an option for or does not have a number row at the top then you are still messing around with your stock LG volt keyboard, & I am sick of messing with it n trying to get the LG g3 keyboard to override the regular LG keyboard, so I have moved on,.. and I am NOT looking back....unless someone can shine some light on this subject, lol.

I don't know anymore, I have uninstalled the LG g3, I have went to settings on my stock LG keyboard and the height is adjustable on the stock keyboard, on mine anyway and I'm sure all the volts are the same. as far as the swipe I know that my lg volt comes with that technology, so I know our phones have that pre installed. So I guess what's confusing is that I can't get the number row across the top like everyone, everyone that has installed it on any other phone except for the Volt has been successful in having the number o, so that being said I'm thinking that the LG G free software is either combining or opposing or being afflicted or something with the LG volts software... I really have no idea what I'm saying other than all the other phones have been successful in installing LG g3 keyboard with number row on top,,,,,except the Volts(as far as I now). now here's the funny part, I have stock keyboard color options, black, white, natural, and lovely. My phone is rooted and I had an app that allowed me to uninstall any application that I wanted, so I uninstalled the stock LG volt keyboard, completely uninstalled it out of my phone. I did not tho uninstall the black, natural, or lovely color packs. I've been in installed the l_g g 3, the l_g g 3 was the only l_g keyboard on my phone and it was able to you lies the black natural and or lovely kohler packs from the original l_g volt. lol and there was no top row #'s. and I could not tell the LG g3 keyboard from the stock LG. so I uninstalled the LG g3 and with recovery from TB I put my stock LG keyboard back. I think the only reason I did that was because the stock LG keyboard used like half the storage as the LGG3. SO IM COMPLETELY OVER IT LOL

The stock keyboard is not resizable. So you still have the other installed. As car As swipe goes I don't mean the Swype keyboard. I mean swipe on the LG keyboard. I reset the keyboard from a backup I made and the stock LG keyboard has no height adjustment at all. If you didn't restore your old key word before uninstalling the LG g3 one you still have the g3 one.

That leads me to believe that there is a line missing in our build.prop that tells the phone the option is available. the lines i edited to enable the handwriting and the swipe in lg keyboard option were off by default.

languages ,color, path input...well that's sort of blows my mind because I definitely don't have, and have never had that between either of the two keyboards(stock LG or the g3). and I agree with you on the fact that our phones, revolt, was never written for a numbers row, I've always thought that. ....anyway how did you say that you got the languages, color,path input, etc? I guess it's no big deal it's just I think it blows my mind because I know our volts are the same, and I know that the l_g g 3 aol is the same so I'm like arrggh. Lol
