[APK] LG G2 Stock Keyboard - Ported

LG G2 is currently one of the most powerful and most equipped devices with he nice design and stuff. The supersstructure of this device looks also very cool - the lockscreen, homescreen, widgets and keyboard, which has been ported and it's now available on all devices!

LG G2 keyboard is well-known by its themes and customization, check out some for more info:

LG-G2-Stock-Keyboard-Themes

Like them? You can now get them without root access thanks to XDA member gerardroid with all its features!

LG-G2-Stock-Keyboard-Settings

The whole app can be downloaded HERE and can also be installed in usual way.
However, if your device is rooted, you can get some extra features - 5th row, split keyboard, emoji and more.

These functions can be enabled in build.prop navigated in /system using root browser. To enable these features, download the app (version for rooted devices) and  simply add these lines after the text (do not delete the previous text in build.prop):


  • ime_extend_row_keyboard=true
  • ime_onehand_keyboard=true
  • ime_split_keyboard=true
  • ime_vibration_pattern=0:20
  • ro.config.libemoji=libemoji_lge.so
  • ro.lge.capp_emoji=true

Then save the build.prop and finally reboot your device to take the effect.
Do not try to modify your build.prop file without having a nandroid backup - if a problem appears, you may be stuck in bootloop and brick your device without a return!

[WALKTHROUGH] How To Undervolt Your Android Device Safely?

Changing the CPU voltage. What is it? Is it safe? Useful? How do I undervolt my Android device? You'll find the right answers right in this posts. Needless to say, undervolting your Android is extremly useful, though it requires very high responsibility and precaution because if you screw up the voltages, you can wave goodbye to your device.

So, what are the benefits of undervolting your Android device? Well, undervolting can save you much more battery, may increase performance and your device will stop overheating! And how to do such this thing?
Follow the walkthrough cautiously:


Before doing anything, ensure your kernel supports volting and you're rooted.
Please read the entire walkthrough just before you start.

  1. Firstly, download the voltage control app (HERE or HERE)
  2. You can see various voltages to certain frequencies (for example: 1000Mhz to 1250mV)
  3. As you might expect, to undervolt your device you need to lower the mV value
  4. Start slowly by lowering each frequency (Mhz) down by 25mV. (From 1250mV down to 1225mV).
  5. Proceed lower and lower..
As you keep continuing with undervolting your device, it will shut-down. Don't be worried. This procces is called the sleep of death (SOD), where the CPU has no more power to keep your device awake.
You can reboot your device by removing the battery (and putting it back, obviously) or hold the power button for a while.

The thing is, you need to remember the critical values (when the phone is capable of normal work and is not in SOD). To do this, you gotta need a paper with a pen and carefully watch the values just before your device shuts down.

If you're too lazy to do this, you can watch for the list of values tested by users. Always search the list for your device only.


Never check "set on reboot" option when testing the voltages, otherwise your phone will never boot back up!




If you don't want to undervolt your phone as much as possible, you don't have to. Just lower the voltage -50mV. Don't try to higher the voltage, it may boost the performance a bit, but causes an extreme damage to your battery - overcharge leads to the synthesis of cobalt oxide, which will permanently damage your battery.

Why you shouldn't charge your phone overnight?

The vast majority of people do that. Charging overnight. Unfortunately, most of the people also think it's completely harmless to your device and there's nothing bad about keeping your phone charge when it's already charged at 100%. But yes, it damages your phone. Continue reading for full explanation -

So, what's bad about that?
Here's the explanation:


If you charge your phone overnight, the battery is capable of fully charge within a few hours. It wouln't be any bad, if you unplug your cable and stop charging. The thing is, your phone continues charging. But not as you might think: firstly, the battery drains to about 95%, and then again, is charged back to 100%. This process repeats every time of every night. Well, still not much bad about that, do you think?

The real thing is, every battery has its charge limit.  What does that mean?

Lets say you battery has limit of 10,000 charges. After exhaustion of this limit, the battery stamina will be much more weaker and moreover, your phone may stop charging before 100%  (mostly stops at 94%).

Basically, every charge overnight damages the battery and shorts the stamina. Eventually, your battery will be that damaged that it won't hold any more energy to power your phone with.

Still going to charge your phone overnight? Consider the way!

    Amazing Battery Saver - Disable Mobile Cores To Save Your Battery!

    Everybody knows these "powerful" battery savers that are capable to save up to 20% of your battery life by just adjusting your screen brighteness and shutting off your WiFi and other services. These apps doesn't even require root access to work, but as the description always says, our app is revolutionary. Let's wave them goodbye and let's meet some real battery savers that can really save your battery. Meet real mobile-core manager.

    Powerful, high-end devices all face one big problem - high battery drain. This, among other things, is also caused by their high performance, by the cores. The more cores you basically have on your device, the more will be the battery drain.

    But what if we can stop the cores to save more battery? Well, It is possible.

    Obviously, you won't be able to use this application if your device hasn't got two or more cores.
    And obviously, the app requires root.

    If you don't want to turn your cores ON and OFF again and again to both save battery and make your phone "usable", you can enable the awesome feature called ACOO (Automated CPU ON/OFF) which will automaticlly manage the mobile cores and turn off all the cores but one when your screen is OFF.

    After the screen is turned on, the ACOO mode will turn the cores back ON to retrieve the performance.
    Moreover, the app is available for free on Google Play:

    [APK] Blackmart - Get paid apps for free with this cracked Google Play

    Tired of searching apk files on the internet? Not anymore! Blackmart is a new app that offers you paid apps (and not only them) completely for free! To be excact, Blackmart is kind of a "cracked Google Play" made by users. If you have any app to add, just add it there. Isn't that cool?

    Needless to say,  Blackmart is not only for "illegal" uses. Blackmart owners are not responsible for the APK files provided in there. On the brighter side, if you have any app you don't (or can't) publish on Google Play Market, you just publish it on Blackmart so at least users of this app can download your app.



    Shortly said, Blackmart is a download manager providing many APK files from various sources of the internet. Unlike Google Play, you don't have to pay in case you want to download any paid app.

    Unfrotunately, downloading from Blackmart might not be always that fast - it takes a long time and download speed is really poor.


    As the author says:

    "Personally I do not agree to download applications without buying them, but if we test its performance before purchase to our smartphone comprovar that work well, this is our choice."
