Hello friends, I am Naveen Naushad, an indie Android developer from India. I developed this app for G3, with which you can change the Volume button launch apps when the phone is locked, that too without root access.

A user tested it on T-Mobile G4 and confirmed it is working correctly. You will be able to modify the Volume Up action to toggle flashlight, launch a different app (instead of QuickMemo+) or even open a custom launcher shortcut. Unfortunately Volume Down cannot be changed as LG hardcoded it to launch camera, starting from Lollipop. Most people are ok with that as they need to change QuickMemo+ only.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptuners.keyplusapp

Requirements:
  • Stock LG ROM (or ROMS based on it)
  • QuickMemo installed and working properly
  • Not compatible with official flip case
Request:
If you like the app, please rate, review and +1 it at Google Play Store. That will increase the visibility of the app tremendously.

I'm the user who helped you test it - works great.
I haven't ever undestood why the mobile-phone producers haven't included flashlight as a button, since the old nokia phones, so thanks for this!
Thank you very much for testing

Someone please post the quick memo apk file....
I am not rooted so I cannot extract the APK. Moreover there is a chance that the APK for G4 might be different from G3, so it is best you get it from a G4 user himself.

By the way, if you are running stock LG ROM, there is an app called Updater, from which you can install QuickMemo.

There is no root for the G4 yet, but I'll try to remember, when an root method is avalible!:good:
