Guys there's a way to remove empty screen on the moto g without others launcher?
Took me 4-5 times reading it to understand.
For anyone else confused: He wants to remove one of the screens on the default launcher, not remove the physical screen.

No, not without installing another launcher ... but Apex is far better than the stock and very easy to install. You lose nothing at all and gain much flexibility, starting with adjusting the horrible padding & margins on the stock and getting rid of the pointless search bar on every screen.

But yes, Apex/Nova are awesome. No reason to keep default launcher.

No loss of performance at all - try it, I guarantee you'll never look back.

You simply need to edit your build.prop and add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0. You can use any good editor in Android to do that, or Build.prop Editor.

You can also go one step or two further by disabling the backlight on the keys at the bottom AND even disabling them completely (nothing happens when pressed).
Disabling the lights will need a custom kernel however.
How can I disable the keys completly? I'm on cm 10.1.

Once again, for them not to light up, it's necessary you have a kernel that supports BLD.

I'm looking for an easy way to do this, maybe i'll flash the simple kernel for this purpose.
I'm doing this cause my softkeys are not properly functioning, most of the time there are only 2 of 4 visible, and my warranty is expired.
The navigation bar can be a good alternative i think!!

Not a big fan myself, the Nexus S is rather "small" for today's standards and the navigation bar takes quite a bit of estate. But working around your problem without wanting to physically repair it, I believe that works.

Unfortunately i have to agree, i don't like that solution too, cause the screen gets smaller than it's real size.
But to be honest i do prefer to apply a "patch" like this more than paying half the value of a 3 years old device to repair it...
I'll also try to flash a kernel with the bln mod and see if i can get used to use the device with no navbar and no softkeys light.
Thanks for your help!! :good:
Searching on the forum i found that should also be possible to decrease the navbar height!!
it would be great, but i saw the procedure, and i'll never be able to do it ... :S

Someone might be able to help you.
Perhaps a noob question but I figured I might as well ask before trying it and messing something up.
Is there a Google Now Launcher APK that's been confirmed to work on the G3? all the APKs I find are in articles and links from months ago and I just want to have the most recent information and APK(s) available.
Loving the G3 just would like Google Now Launcher and preferably the n5 dialer/camera apps. If all this is located somewhere and I'm just being an idiot, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
andrej
Google camera is in the play store, the others should be findable, I'll check when I get home for you

I tried the Google Camera but not surprisingly the LG app takes much better photos. Now if I could just get the Dialer to look less hideous
...I just need a GPE ROM already
Thanks again!

I assume it is working ok? Love the device, and I'm going to try to time with the stock launcher for at least a couple of days, but probably going to this launcher soon.
Thanks.

I'd recommend Swipe Dialer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mb.swipedial.donate
It can look almost stock Android.

Thanks for posting the suggestion. I'm using nova and thought I lost knock off completely. Still works in the notification area though.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
Just a note...Smart Launcher 2 let's you use knock off (on any phone).
Just thought I'd share this with the AT&T G3 community.

This will change the data icons, get rid of the annoying AT&T sign on the top left of the screen and also unlock the volume and brightness slider in the notification pull down. This is not my work and I take no credit for this I just wanted to share this with everyone who has the AT&T G3. [emoji4]

you're prolly right, I thought I saw them both in there, but there's so many I could be mistaken
also you can change the ro.build.target_operator to 'OPEN' and accomplish this, another side effect is you get new options in the network settings allowing you to disable lte (choose your prefered band)

Just to be clear before I jump in, changing ro.build.target_county to CA and ro.build.target_operator to OPEN will unlock the brightness slider in the notification shade, switch to the international data icons, and unlock the preferred network type? I just want to make sure. As soon as we have a full custom recovery I'll stop being quite so paranoid, haha
I just changed the 'OPEN' and with g3 tweaksbox you can get any icons you want from any service

So, I got an Honor 8 recently and I've noticed a bit of lag on 3rd party keyboards, Fleksy in particular. When I try to use the swipe to space or delete gestures in Fleksy the 8 doesn't register it and just types letters instead pretty often. It was bad enough that I had to give up on using it. Even upon switching to GBoard I feel like I noticed some lag when typing quickly. It went away after disabling vibrate and pop up on keypress.
It just seems strange. I've used Fleksy for years on multiple phones and never had this problem. In-between my OnePlus X and Honor 8 I used it on an $80 Samsung phone and it worked flawlessly. Is this a problem anybody else has had with the Honor 8?

No, I'm not really getting any noticable lag on either of them. I'm not entirely sure if lag is the problem or just something with the Fleksy gestures and the Honor 8 but I haven't seen anybody else with the phone say anything about it.

Hm... I just tried Fleksy, and I'm having some LAG with it as well. I have noticed that if I change Fleksy language to English, there's no LAG at all, but when I change it to my language (hungarian), which is in "beta" there is LAG.
Do you use it on another language and not English?

It doesn't do "Swype" like tracing a complete pattern to type. It just has gestures like swipe left to delete the last word, swipe right to space, swipe right twice to punctuate then swipe up or down to change punctuation and swiping up/down to change the last word you typed. Once you get used to the gestures they're just really useful and can make typing a little quicker.

I don't think lag is the right term. It's not really lag just not properly registering the swipe gestures the way it's supposed to.

Hi all. I decided to install an rather new android Oreo theme for emui the other day and since then, emoji have been showing as placeholders instead of icons in the Xbox app and also when I tap a letter while using fleksy keyboard(it is supposed to show the letter being pressed, not a big vibrant emoji). I don't know if this is coincidence but it's extremely odd. I've cleared cache and did what I could but nothing has worked to return these things to normal, it's obviously not a serious problem (other than looking tacky) but I am curious to find out what caused this. My device is an frd-L04 on stock B388
I believe it's a problem with the theme. Try another theme and see if you still get it.
