This is more of a proof of concept that might be useful to lock the screen.
Does not require root.
HTC's framework detects gestures while the screen is on, this is actually broadcasted to all applications, but the only app that reacts to it is HTC's Media Output (Three finger swipe up or left-right).
This app is both an implementation that reacts to a three finger click to lock the screen, and a dev concept that shows how to react to the gestures.
If you want to use this to lock the phone, just tap with three fingers anywhere after enabling device admin.

More dev stuff:
If anyone is interested where this happens, it's in services.odex's com.htc.server.gesture package.
This is one of the best hacks I've used for the m8 so far ... Very simple yet tasty ?
Thanks..and keep up the good work

Amazing! Although I would prefer that it only make the screen turn off the phone and go to sleep rather than just lock it. This will open up a lot of interesting development work though, I'm sure!

Thank you so much. This is an awesome feature add. The Media gesture is something that I have no use for and didn't want to change my kernel in order for this to work. I'm seeing how long I can go without rooting my phone. This will definitely prolong my challenge. ?

For some reason I can't get this to work for me. I have 3 finger media gesture enabled. Is there anything else I'm supposed to do???

The app is simply a listener, it does not enable anything, in fact, if a three finger gesture is not detected by the system, as far as the system is concerned, the app does not exist (it does not take CPU cycles, or memory, or any resources besides storage for the APK).
Therefore, it's technically impossible for it to cause any battery drain. I have no idea what happened on your phone, but it's likely a coincidence.
With that said, my reply was a bit rude, so apologies for that.

You'll need to enable the app as a Device Policy Manager. You have to open the app once for Android to confirm it wasn't maliciously installed.

Everytime I look at my battery monitor 'GSam Pro' it shows apps that are running and eating my battery life in particular 'Poynt' which I don't use everyday but it is always running, I've used 'Advanced Task Killer Pro' and killed many processes but 'Poynt' does not show up in tasks to be killed and even in my 'System Tuner Pro' it does not show up so my question is how to KILL it? When I go into my apps and look at 'Poynt' I do have the option to 'Force Close' it but it always has a pop up saying 'May Cause App to Perform Badly', what to do and how to kill apps such as this that are obviously eating my battery and I'm also using 'DS Battery Pro' to monitor my phone?
You can force close. The worst is you will have to enjoy. You might want to root. The other option is to disable the app in Application Manager. Private message me if you need help.

anyone using the app notice the home and mulitask buttons are slightly larger than the back key?
edit: original post updated...
I'm using SoftKeysz and observing some "ghosting" behavior where the "up graphic" ^ overlays the home key, which causes the home key to stop responding. the only fix is a reboot. Anyone else experiencing this behavior and/or have a fix i might try? thanks!
EDIT: Fixed, something related to XBlast or GravityBox options i selected. I thought i had disabled them, but i didn't. I disabled both apps and ghosting went away, will have to see which option (if any) was the causing my problem.

Mine themed, but most of the time one button (in my case the recents)...was huge. and wouldn't correct itself for some reason, even if I used GravityBox to shrink the Navbar. No idea...guess I'll wait for the next update..I really like it though - lots of cool designs on there.

FIX SYSTEM CONTROL ON DECREASED BRIGHTNESS TO PREVENT HEAT
The below issue is only present on lg custom roms from 4.2 and up, thermel controls the brightness to low it down to prevent heat, this app patches the thermal to remove some vlaues.
Some advanced users use the dialler to go to the hidden menu to disable the thermal, this app is very useful for simple and fast, also to tablets with no dialler.
Hey every one,
Today, I'm going to present to you an easy way to disable the auto lowering the brightness when in 100%, and make it sit for life-long...
It's an easy way...
I HAVE NOT DEVELOPED THAT APP!!!
Its BTW already there, but i want to share it with you guys!!
Q: What is it? A: its an app called "LGBrightnessPatcher"
Q: What it does? A: it restrict the system from getting brightness decreased, when slight heat.
Q: Require root? A: of course!
Q: Does it glue the brightness to 100%? A: No, you can adjust it from the brightness slider bar...
The app patches the brightness watcher and preventing it from changing the value when the screen gets 100% after an amount of time to let the device cool down, and not to get heat...
Other than that, the patching process would not take longer than 10 seconds!! and its totally safe!! i tested it myself!!
Instructions:
1. Root your device.
2. Install the app from the links down below.
3. Give root permission grant.
4. Touch on apply permanent patch.
5. Wait 5 seconds, got a toast massage?
6. Reboot.
7. Enjoy 100% brightness without limiting!!
Before download, let me thank the developer of the app, Tweakers and Optimizers who make that app possible!!
Its an genus app BTW!!!
Links, why? you'll find it in play store: LGBrightnessPatcher
Have a good day everyone! and get your G3 brighter, i mean stick at 100% all the time...
FEEDBACK guys, i tested it in LG G PAD V500, in stock 4.2.2 and 4.4.2, hope will work for the G3...
Press thank, rate...
15/04/2015: Looks like some folks have troubles installing the patch correctly, to fix the problem install busybox from play store.

Maybe YOU should learn to read. It's listed under FAQ not under bugs. This issue affects all screen filter apps not just this one. Therefore it's not a 'bug' of the app itself but and 'issue' that is present on all screen filtering apps in general. Idiot.

Here is how to fix this. Go into applications and open up the application information for S Health. Uninstall the update. I also cleared the data for the app (not sure if this mattered, but it didnt hurt).
Once you have done these steps, open the downgraded S Health app. Go through the setup for the app. Once you are in the app after setup, you can then upgrade through the Play store, and the app will continue working fine.
Hope that helps.
Thats correct. .
When i did the boosts it caused speaker to distort and cut out on higher levels. Wasnt gonna release a audio boost due to this.. seems the n5 speaker dosnt like the boosts
Love the additional 4 toggles especially the Mobile Data which I am surprised is not part of stock. I do also appreciate the Hotspot and Multi-Window mods.
