I thought I'd share with everyone that the app/home replacement named THEMER is finally LG G3 Compatible as of today.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer&hl=en
If you aren't familiar, all you do is install the app, chose from one of over a hundred themes you like, and apply it. Widgets, backgrounds, everything on yours will look just like the pictures in the app gallery.
I've been using it for quite some time on my Nexus 5, and was happy to find out it worked fine on the G3 via restore from TIBU when I upgraded.
Doesn't work for me, can't get no themes. Says it's officially supported but says me phone isn't compatible.

You have to be using a stock/oem DPI and navigation bar height. If you change either, it won't work well if at all.
I updated this morning and it is working fine for me still. Perhaps uninstall and reinstall?
Good news! Long time waiting! Works perfect here.

I had this problem are you using G3 tweakbox? if so go into it then the themes section then navigation bar and turn the switch to make it go to stock again, then reboot. This fixed it for me.

Ah, silly me. I changed the dpi back to stock but didn't think about the nav bar height. Thanks fellas ☺
I changed the dpi to stock with app settings module and still doesn't work hmmmm
So I changed the entire system dpi... But I couldn't get the nav bar transparent so
Once everything is back to stock you'll probably have to reboot

Can't I force it somehow to work on modified DPI and navbar? Stock is just too big. I suppose I could set a custom DPI for the launcher only via App settings (the xposed module), but can I do the same for the navbar somehow?
This is awesome! Thanks for the heads up! Going to take some getting used to not using the knock to unlock lol
Edit: hmm knock still works!

Nope.
Actually, the only other way to get it to work I read about in their subforums here. You have to change the DPI and Navbar in a manner that still gives you a supported resolution in the end. I don't have any problems with the stock nav bar, though I've got mine themed. some of the themed navbars have small buttons on them.
If you can install the app, you should be able to look at themes, you just can't use the Browse Themes/Trending/newest/Most Popular sections, When you apply others, they may not look right since your resolution is off. I don't think they plugged this loophole yet.

Don't know what the issue is. DPI has to be stock, status bar needs to be stock size and so does nav bar. If they all are, it should work fine.
If they are, and it isn't, you should post in their forums.

That's the thing, everything still works. The launcher portion is pretty customizable too.

Well in the browse section it points out that I have the wrong resolution, it doesn't do it at the categories, but they don't show anything. What's the stock navbar height? 48p?

What I used to do on my old phone is set it to stock, download the theme and set it, then change my phone to how I liked it. Most of the time that worked just fine, pain in the ass I know but worth a go if you want themer.

If this works then it definitely sounds like it's worth the 2 reboots. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the tip!! I was waiting for this
Trying now
Works a treat - thanks for the heads up!
This is mLauncher It's built for the nexus player and may work on other androidTV products. It lists all your apps including your sideloaded ones. Only has a couple features but here they are:
Display all your apps, set wallpaper, reboot, power off.
update: 2/28/16
changed the ui a little
DECREASED APP SIZE BY SEVERAL MBS!!!!!!
fixed the built in wallpaper switcher so that it displays all pictures in /sdcard/Pictures
Things to note:
Reboot and power off require root (Why haven't you done it yet?).
For the wallpapers function to work you have to sideload a wallpapers app on your NP.
To open quick settings press play on the remote Y on the game pad.
update 8/23/15
changed ui a little
added clock
fixed settings issue
Isn't it unnecessary to have a power off function on the Nexus Player? If it's an actual shut down rather than a sleep mode, then it would require the user to unplug power from their device and plug it back in before it could be used again.
I've got mine hooked up to a light switch so when I'm about to go to sleep and too lazy to get up it works great. Next day just flip the switch. I was experimenting with deep sleep but the way the stock Rom is set up to get it to work you have to remove daydream from the system and it takes a minute. I think on cm12 it would work. I could add the feature pretty easily. I was gonna add a shortcut to overscan and fix a small issue this week. Just let me know I'll put it in there.

No I mean wallpapers period unless I'm missing something there aren't any native apps that run regular wallpapers. Haven't tried live wallpapers yet.

It should it's built with Android 5.0 if it gives you an error let me know

Here's a beta release that fixes an issue I've been having with the app list not updating when you uninstall or install an app. It's a pretty dirty hack but seems to work okay. Remember this is beta and I'll be looking at different ways to implement it. So if your uninstalling and installing apps a lot give it a shot but if not pass on this.
update removed link since it's in the updated apk

Beta release
Here's a beta release with new sleep function. It requires root access click it and screen goes into deep sleep. There's another way to do this without root but it requires you to change backdrop to none and it takes 10 seconds. Not very functional in my book. Everything else is working great. Thanks

He's using the stock launcher. If you switch back to that, you can change the lock screen wallpaper with a long press on the homescreen.

Unfortunately, I didn't (well, at least not for what you're seeing in that screenshot). If you visit plus.google.com in Chrome, it offers to put a link to the site on your home screen. So, that icon just opens the web version of Google+. I did install Google+ earlier today, but because I had to sign it myself to remove the conflicting permissions (it conflicts with the improperly built Gallery app), Google's servers rejected the client. IMO, the only chances we have of getting a working Google+ installed are 1) if the phone is rooted, then we should be able to replace the Gallery app with a non-broken one, or 2) Lenovo needs to fix it. Option 2 might happen by accident if they ever decide to release Android 7.
Looks like you can only change the lock screen wallpaper to a static picture, no live wallpapers unfortunately. On other phones you can.
Also, I can install and use Google+ just fine it seems, perhaps because I installed their latest December update.

My stock launcher somehow become corrupted, every second, I get "Unfortuantely Launcher has stopped working". It was a ***** to get to the Google Play store between saying, "ok" and having the message pop again in 1 second. So I was able to get into Play store and install another Launcher that is near the original Launcher_3. However, it does not have that LockScreen Walpaper mode.
I don't know how to fix and reinstate the original launcher. Even after trashing and reinstalling it, it still doesn't work.
Any insight?

Hello!
So long story short I have blocked updates on my S8+ because I like my Navbar Black. But recently I removed the "block" and it registrered the update, but didn't download it. But now I have this annoying red "1" batch on the settings shortcut (the one located over the notifications-bar toggles). Anyway to remove this?

Hey try clearing data for software update and settings app . Mostly clearing for software update app will be enough.
Seriously, take the update, it is security relevant and has the hiding navbar. Use the navbar app app (yes), to keep it any color you like. Free and lightweight.
I seriously urge you to take the update because of the patches in there.

I have been considering taking the update.. Mostly because I've heard there should be another update on the they where you can control battery hocking app more.
That said I can already hide my navbar with Custom Navigation Bar (app), BUT I hate not having the navbar there at all times.. It's so annoying..
Also are you 100% sure Navbar apps can overwrite the system color?
Also I've heard people say the navbar is no longer transparent on the homescreen? And that is just ridiculous..

Ohh nice! Thank you, do you use Navbar apps? Hide it? Or just use some of the other colors?
Can you tell me which other colors you can use now?
Nav bar is transparent on home screen, I can confirm.
Screenshot attached.
Just tried "Navbar apps" by Damian Piwowarski in app store but it only works partially. It will turn the bar black when I am inside the navbar apps app and it is black when i open the app store, contacts screen, chrome, gallery, citymapper and some others, but on the home screen in Nova (the worst one since it looks ridiculous with my black background), and in bluemail and CM browser it is still white. Perhaps it is a different app @corwin_amber was talking about?
I think, we are both talking about the same app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
I am using Nova Prime launcher, however and even Substratum for Samsung (no Root, would never do that) to theme everything to my likes and needs.
To me, personally, having a secure device is important, maybe different priorities (which is completely fine to me).

Your best bet for fixing the flashlight issue is to probably install a Pixel Launcher, stock or modded and customize your At A Glance settings. As for the lock screen weather, not so sure you can turn that one off.

It was the same on my 4XL. It's nuts that they put that on the homescreen. Every morning when I turn the phone on, I have to swipe left to get to the homescreen I want to use. I don't want to root, or change the launcher. Back in the day, I was able to choose the homescreen page I wanted.
