Customize Qslide apps?

[flyingkytez]

There's only video, phone, contacts, messaging, calendar, email, and file manager. I need a calculator! Any way to customize it?

Lucky for you, I thought to backup the calculator from my G3 before trading it in.

This. There's no OEM calculator on the V20, but side loading this one gives you a fully functioning LG calculator including Qslide functionality.

Wow that's awesome, thanks so much! Why did LG exclude this on the V20? Very useful now I can have a floating calculator! Do you have any other LG apps that work on QSlide? I should've extracted some of those apps from my LG tablet before selling it.

QSlide was never great to begin with, in my opinion, and I think the LG calculator is the only one missing on the V20. There's phone/contacts (useless), calendar (mostly useless), video (somewhat useful), calculator (extremely useful), and I think also email (useless if you ask me).

LG is being pressured to present themselves as closer to stock Android, which is fine, except when they actually take out useful features (such as a floating calculator). The G5 didn't even have split screen when it was launched since they were holding off for Nougat.

Do you have the web browser for QSlide? That would very extremely helpful as I'm often jumping between pages to copy and paste things or getting information.

LG calculator and gallery were the only apps I backed up. Since I use Chrome primarily, I didn't think to backup the LG browser. I have an LG tablet at home, though. I can check to see if it has the LG browser. They started to remove it from phones so I don't know if it's on the tablet. Remind me this weekend and I'll check.

Did LG remove the calculator shortcut from the 2nd screen?

I believe you can find LG browser on APK mirror but I could be wrong. I'm actually running Samsung internet browser beta which I sideloaded from that site. I like it because I can download a ad blocker such as "adblock fast."

Great idea thanks! I missed the Samsung browser from my Note5..Just sideloaded!

Why do people prefer this over Google Calculator? You're not able to swipe down to see past history. Besides the q-slide ability, is there something to this?

Parentheses and clear all isn't hidden, plus I like its theme. Also, when doing a bunch of small calculations and having to write down my answer, not having to press equals every time on the Google Calculator throws me off every time. I always write down my answer, then start with the next equation before clearing. Since I have to press equals every time on the LG calculator, this is never a problem for me.

For me, it's mostly the q-slide ability. I can access it with literally 2 taps from any screen, and I use it often for work.

While maybe not as intuitive as on the Google calculator, you can see the calculation history on the LG one by expanding it and then going to the menu. You can also access the scientific calculator from that menu too.
